Halfway between Pearl Harbor and their destination, the squadron on the Garuda was having a relatively easy time of it. Franke's arm was getting taken care of, and the ship MPs were struggling to track down all the contraband that had snuck aboard while in Hawaii, but other than that the pilots had nothing to worry about except for some boring patrols along the ship's course.

Ennis, in the hangar, clipped his helmet on and headed for his Gaplant. He'd arranged for himself and Sharan to take the next patrol. He'd taken his time and gathered his information, and it was time to deal with the Ensign, one way or another. He hoped . . . nevermind what he hoped. Better to just get it over with.

"Sharan! Double-time, we need to relieve the patrol!" he yelled across the hangar before stepping into the cockpit.

"It's time to head back!" Nash said as he turned his machine back towards the ship. "It's been relatively quite as of late, with these Titans, it certainly makes one wonder if something's up or not... But who am I to be making that assumption." He opened a comm channel to the Garuda. "This is Kryger's patrol we're heading back in."

Sharan looked up from his perch on his Asshimar’s arm as he finished making some form of adjustment to the joints, as Ennis disappeared into his unit a cold smirk spread across his face – the Zeon stretched and dropped to the catwalk bellow, landing at a crouch as he padded into his cockpit and settled down into his chair,

My my, Commander, I would have thought you’d have preferred a different partner to go on patrol with – we’re not going to have a talk are we?

He let out a cold chuckle across the comm. unit and deactivated the locks holding his unit to the Mobile Suit dock and stamped out towards the hanger door and glanced towards Ennis, the time had come,“Whenever your ready…Commander.

"I remember saying something about you starting yor sentences like that. Oh well, not important now," Ennis grumbled out. "This is Ennis, I'm heading out!"

Ennis was pressed back into his seat as the Gaplant rocketed out into the air, quickly turning around to head towards the front of the ship, passing Nash along the way.

"Enjoy the break, Nash," he said in passing.

Sean

Despite the fact that Sean, being a prisoner, would not be going on any of the patrols, he still stuck around the hangar. It was good atmosphere compared to the rest of the ship. The mechanics were lively and constantly joking with each other, as opposed to the more serious pilots and bridge crew. Sean was able to sit freely, though still under armed supervision. Now in jean shorts and a red shirt*lol*, he stuck out from the rest of the crew who were either in the mechanic uniform, or in other Titan apparel. Before departure awhile back ago, he remembered how he had to frantically look for Ennis before take off. FaceMask vanished earlier that day and didn't take off the death ankle brace that he strapped the Sean's leg. Since it would go off if he tried to leave the island itself, the damned machine wouldn't be able to tell if he was still on the ship if the ship left the island. Needless to say, he ended up getting it off in time, and things went smoothly. Without anything to really do, he just sat back and watched the mobile suits get repaired, as well as keeping an eye on the units coming in, and heading out for their patrol. With this time to think, he wondered how his family was, and if they wee still in space like the last time he saw them.

{note before reading - HE IS NOT A NEWTYPE... Any person can feel tension in a room filled with it.}

"I'll do my best to do just that." Nash slowed his unit down as it made it's landing back into the hangar. "Well, that's that." As Nash rose out of his cockpit he entered into the atmosphere of the hangar. "Well now, this certainly feels weird.... It feels tension filled."

Sharan smirked, well then, that much was clear wasn't it, he pushed forwards dropping over the lip of the hanger and rocketing along the underbelly of the ship, not moving into his Mobile Armour mode for now as he rose in front of the nose and moved into patroll formation with Ennis;s Gaplant, the Zeon pilot streaching.

"You seem almost civil today."

"I must be mellowing out in my old age," Ennis quipped, somewhat comforted by his own usual mild wit. Good to know he wasn't getting morbid.

"You know, I've always been curious, exactly how much leeway does that fancy Internal Affairs patch give you?" he asked nonchalantly.

Sharan chuckled, "My my, let me see...with you? Enough leeway to shoot you in the head and take command of this flight group if so required." he chuckled darkly,

"And plenty security clearence."

It bothered Nash that this tension had all but consumed the ship, and he was nowhere near the center of the cause let alone actually knowing what was causing it. Nash found Garrick down below with the rest of the mechanics who had come to preform the maintenance on his Gaplant. "Garrick Rodgerson." He said his name as he hit the ground. "Now this might just be me, but since I left my cockpit here, I got the feeling something's up. Can you let me in on why everyone is on edge?"

"Arrogant as always. But do they give you enough clearance to commit treason?" Ennis asked. "No, no I don't think they do. Bask loves his little puppets, but he doesn't want any of them moving independently of the strings. Giving you lot that much leeway would make his mission pretty much a . . . forlorn hope, I suppose you could say."

Ennis shook his head, keeping a tight grip on the controls as he continued speaking.

"I never liked you, Sharan, but you've been going farther and farther off the deep end these past months. Bask should have kept a tighter leash on you. As is, you're in a whole world of trouble."

"Couldn't tell you for sure, Lt Commander," Garrick answered. "Commander's been in an awful foul mood since take-off. Can't see why, he seemed to have been in good spirits while we were in port. But whatever's bugging him and kept him working in his office since we left Pearl Harbor, his mood's rubbing off on everybody. Kind of like a family when Dad's pissed off."

The mechanic shrugged, throwing his hands up in a 'what can you do?' gesture.

"Doesn't seem like he's talked to anybody about it, so it must be pretty big."

Sharan laughed, and dropped the act, "Oh, I'm sure that comitting treason would require me to be a citizen of the Earth Federation, Ennis, but as it stands, I'm a citizen of the Principality of Zeon - and your Masters are about the only one's who comitted treason to think that they would be able to keep me leashed."

Sharan smirked, "But thats getting ahead of myself my dear boy, after all you very much want to know what I've done with the information I ripped out of the Titan databanks?"

"Doesn't take a Commander's rank to know you fed it to the AEUG," Ennis said, putting some distance between himself and the Asshimar.

"And pardon me if I don't take your patriotism seriously. The Principality is dead and gone. You and your ilk are little more than the twiching of a corpse beheaded."

Nash thought about what Garrick had told him. "Ennis did lock himself in his office for a long time. Where as I could really care less about someone's personal mood, the morale of this ship is suffering... And apparently it only got worse when Ennis was getting into his... Wait a minute! When I was heading out Ennis went out on a patrol and an Asshimar went with him.

Nash asked Garrick although he had a feeling he knew what he was going to hear. "Garrick, Ennis went out on patrol.... ENNIS just went out on patrol, there's something wrong with that statement in and of itself. But humor me and tell me who went out with him was it Julian or Sharan's Asshimar?" He asked this while piecing everything together in his mind, a half worried though slowly coming to mind.

"Well, it was Sharan," Garrick said, frowning. "But what's so odd about the Commander going out on patrol? I thought the guy liked flying. Probably just looking for an excuse to get some quiet flight time in."

Garrick turned away to check something but suddenly paused, turning back around.

"Except it wouldn't exactly be very quiet with Sharan badgering him the whole time, and there's no way Sharan wouldn't badger him. Now that is an oddity."
