Replying under his breath Nash replied, "What makes you think I want to move near any of you. I can hear what ever you people have to say just fine from over here." Nash shifted himself in his seat so it was more comfortable. He closed his eyes and took a slight breath before going on with his meal.

Ennis let out a sigh and dropped his fork back onto his plate. He really didn't want to have to say anything, but it seemed he wasn't being given much of a choice. He turned around in his seat to look at Nash.

"Kind of bad form for the second-in-command to be a loner, Kryger. I thought you must've been given those lt. commander pips for a reason, but if you don't want the job I can always give it to someone else," he said, shrugging at the end before turning around and going back to his food, pausing for a brief moment to glare at Sean's ketcup. He went back to his eating, muttering about 'a waste of good eggs' or somesuch.

"My my Commander, why don't you just give the man a licence to act autonomously from the chain of Command if he's going to be such a nusance." Sharan smirked as he padded into the mess hall, the arabic 'Titan' padding his way around the tables over to Ennis' table, standing at the end and leaning over the Commander,

"Talking of acting autonomously Commander, would you object to me taking my Asshimar into Hawaii ahead of the Garuda, only I have some work for High Command that I'd like to send via the bases' secure channels - and I hate to keep them waiting."

"If you say 'my my commander' one more time, I'm going to send you ahead of the Garuda by throwing you. With my Gaplant," Ennis said, chewing his food without looking up at the Ensign. Swallowing, he tossed his fork down on his plate and reached for a napkin. "You won't make it to Hawaii from here in just the Asshimar. Which means you would either need a base jabber to get part of the way or need to stick with us for another day or so. If you want the base jabber, fill out the paperwork and get it to me. And either way I want a copy of your orders to head to Hawaii. Can't have my ensigns running off without making sure they're doing their chores."

"Your complaint falls upon deaf ears. As for the reason I was given this rank. Well I can say for certain that it wasn't from charging a supposedly empty ship and then be attacked by reinforcements and suffer severe damage to our own ship." Nash finished his meal stood up and placed his tray and dishes into the proper disposal. He purchased another cup of coffee and leaned against the wall occasionally taking a sip of the warm liquid as he awaited the start of the informal debriefing.

Ennis shrugged, privately wondering how anyone could stand the coffee they served on board ships. Braver souls than he, he presumed.

"Didn't think they had reinforcements. They didn't deploy them at Andromeda, and we pounded them there. Gutsy move on their part, holding back like that, I'll give them credit for it. And I never said I was perfect. Bottom line is that we don't have any letters to write or funerals to attend, and they do," he said out loud.

Sharan smirked and produced two pieces of paper from inside his uniform placing them before Ennis, he shuffled one towards Ennis, “Everything it ultimately easy anticipate with you Commander, signed orders from Bask Om, not that your cleared to know the full details of why High Command called for my attention, but I’m sure your used to reading censored letters by now.

The Zeon smirked and tapped the second piece of paper, “And as we are on the subject of Gaplants, it did occur to me that my Asshimar wouldn’t provide the swiftness that I required for getting to Hawaii on schedule – so I took the liberty of getting Captain Om’s permission to requisition Lieutenant-Commander Kryger’s Gaplant along with the booster unit. I do hope you appreciate the necessity that High Command’s orders are carried out when they wish and not at your own pace.

With his face still in the dark grin, before he stood straight and flicked back his hair making it quite obvious he had no intention to stay around for the debrief as he stood half-turned “…Commander..” He gave the man the most false salute he could muster.

"If he's going solo, then I call dibs on his job. I'll require a mask as well as a cape." Sean joked...although the cape idea sounded pretty sweet. A quick worry went though sean's mind as to who on the AEUG bit it. He remembered seeing a GM II go down by Sharan, but knowing Karl, he gave all the old suits to Karaba and took the shiny ones for himself. Then another thought ran through his head. "..wait a tick, where the hell is Julian? Do you people not keep an eye on him or something? I had to almost place a tracking device on him to make sure he didn't get shot by the other pilots any more than they already had."

Nash smirked as Sharan confidently showed off the orders to Ennis about seizing control of his Gaplant and booster unit. He kept his eyes closed and moved the cup towards his mouth and took a sip of the coffee, slightly removing it he spoke to Sharan. "Fine take it. It's no skin off my back if you die on the way there. If you total it, Command will owe me and I'll get another one or a better unit. Knock yourself out Musharif." Nash opened his eyes and moved the cup away from his mouth. "Ennis after this meeting of yours, we need to talk in private about several important matters, I trust your office should do just fine for that. Now how about we begin this meeting, the people who are late can do laps later for being rude."

Ennis looked over the paperwork and forced certain violent thoughts concerning Bask Om and other assorted empty-headed imbeciles from being voiced. Wouldn't do to threaten superior officers in front of the men . . . yet.

"Well, have fun with the High Command types, Sharan. Don't forget the kneepads and the mouthwash. I'm sure you'll need them, with that bunch," he said, tossing the papers on the table, waving one hand in the general direction of his forehead, not even bothering with the usual sloppy salute and still not looking at Sharan.

"Sean, I don't think any commander ever could keep proper track of Julian. How the hell the guy's wife keeps him under control is a mystery to me. She must be one hell of a woman," Ennis went on, gladly changing the subject.

"And the office would be fine, Nash. And the laps are a good idea. I was thinking of just closing the mess hall before they get here, but maybe that's too harsh. Anyways," Ennis said, moving on to the point. "The ship will be heading for Hawaii and the old Pearl Harbor base there for resupply and repairs. According to some things that I got last night, we might be meeting up with Captain Meier there, or moving on to California, where she should be currently. Now, enemy activity around the islands is light, and it'll take some time to make our repairs, so for the moment I'm going to be giving everybody in the squadron a day pass. That could get pulled if something comes up, but until further notice everyone'll have 24 hours to loosen up. Still working on how Sean here figures into that."

Without so much as a snide return to Ennis, Sharan had turned on his heel and made swift his exit from the mess, taking a short detour to his quarters before emerging in full normalsuit with a pair of suitcase-like objects in his hands – with a swift determination he stalked into the hanger mounting the scaffold to place one of the boxes inside the cockpit of his Asshimar before locking the cockpit closed and heading over to Nash’s Gaplant, placing the second box inside the cockpit and glancing to a bemused looking deck crew,

Need-to-know business,” he growled, “prepare the booster unit I will be launching immediately” he settled back into the unit and idly fiddled with the system controls before the Gaplant booted to life, the Zeon pilot activating the mobile-armour sequence and resting the unit on its belly on the hanger floor as the techs brought up the booster and coupled it to the unit. Necessity, thought Sharan, he ran the risk of arousing Ennis’ suspicions by trying so actively to get away from the man’s hawk-like watch but his time left with the Titans was approaching its final hour, and the meagre defences he’d thrown down to cover his tracks would hold up, but they’d hold up long enough.

He was jogged from his thought as the hanger launch hook clanked into place on the back of his unit, lifting the Gaplant up and swinging it out of the side hatch onto the underwing allowing him to take off directly forwards and not incinerate the hanger with the booster unit – he flicked through his final checks with an air of knowledge ,“Control room, this is Ensign Musharif, Gaplant…launching!

The force was…impressive…the roar of the booster units thrusters firing up was deafening even within the cockpit and sent shudders through the entire machine the Gaplant accelerating to speed at an impressive rate before snapping off the launch hook and rocketing away from the limping Garuda, visible for moments before the high-speed unit disappeared over the horizon to Hawaii, Sharan’s face a grimace as he withstood the force pressing on him – and then there it was, popular resort of the old ages and the home of what little formed the Earth Federations navy these days, “EEF Pearl Harbor, this is Titans Ensign Sharan Musharif coming in for landing.

And in holding with Titans arrogance he brought himself down on the base landing strip without waiting for any permission first, parking the Gaplant in an awkward position before slipping from the cockpit, ignoring cries from EFF crewmen as he strode towards the main base building, he’d file the important reports with Titans High Command, laced with damning testimony of the threat Ennis presented should his loyalties be tested, and then he’d slip off base to take care of the business he was carrying in his case.

Only one day? Erol's features almost becoming frumpy.

"I always wanted to see a volcano," chirping aloud then a second too late realize he did say that outside his head.

"... uh, don't suppose we can toss an Eggie down once they've been captured and interrogated. As for Sean, we can just record everything then give it too him if he has to stay aboard. Or give his escort service some of those shirts with the flowers and palm trees on them and shades as they follow him about the province," suggesting.

Sean

Sean chuckled at Ennis' comment about Sharan kissing up to the Titan's high command. When he left, Ennis started to talk about shore leave for the men, and tried to brainstorm how he fits into it, with Erol giving his opinion. "I don't think they'll blend in well if they're carrying semi-automatics with them. We're going to Hawaii, not Cuba." Sean said.

"Personally I think that would be hilarious, but they would probably mutiny. I'd rather not have to explain that one," Ennis said, picturing the entire MP detachment wearing Hawaiian shirts. "We can probably at least give you some time off the ship, Sean, but we have a few days before we get there to figure it out. We'll make sure you at least get some fresh air. Aside from that, there really isn't much to say. We won't know where we're heading next until we reach the Harbor, and maybe not even right away. Any other questions?"

"Ohhh yeah," a thought suddenly flashed into Erol's head while he muttered. Images containing a map scale view of Cuba and Hawaii display with the names and location of each switching places. "Cuba is the single one and this is the one with a lot of islands."

"But they still have volcanoes I think," nodding to himself. And surely, thinking to himself, that Sean's guards could just carried standard issue pistols... unless the semi-autos were to hide how terrible shots they likely were and thus would be useful to them. He shrugged.

"Well, sir. Have they released any sort of information as to locations and areas of suspected and confirmed Eggie and Karaba presence that we should be aware of in some regard?"
