The haro asked for Orrick's name. He laughed a bit and humored it's request. "Nash Kryger, the man who killed your master." He lowered his weapon as he awaited the Haro's response.

The Haro's eyes flickered for a moment, before it spoke again its childish voice replaced by a rather cold and familiar one, "Cute, now try again with your real name and don't act like you have a mouth full of gravel..Oh...Kay...Haro!" it trailed back into childish tones.

Orrick's fist clasped around the handle of the pistol, as an anger grin came across his face."Musharif... Even in the grave he haunts me. Fine I'll play his little game, Orrick Alexander!"

"Haaaaro...thinking about it...Haaaro....accepted...I know your throat is thanking me at least even if you aren't - I suppose of course that if this voice message is beeing played then I Ennis has done as I have expected he's been wanting to do since pearl, and I am infact, dead and that you, rather than Ennis, have got to my room first...or the Feddy bastard just isn't speaking up."

Sharan's voice chuckled coldly through the haro's audio systems, "As you've no doubt guessed Orrick, I am fully aware of your identity even if noone else bothered to work it out - that much was obvious by simply overriding your secure codes on your doort to double check while you were sleeping - and then all that remains is for me to sit here smirking in the knowledge that I partly forged you, oh I looked up your family history - parents, killed during Operation British , sister, missing presumed dead,"

"As one of the colony drops architechs I'm ashamed that such a coward would come out of it - Orrick Alexander was a coward, and Nash Kryger is worse, hiding behind a mask and emulating Char Aznable with that red abombination sitting in the hanger - your clinging to cowardly ideals to change perceptions of you, real pilots don't hide behind masks and false identities...real pilots show their faces to the world and shrug off the opinions of others your little but a shameful ghost, better of dead than truely living,"

Sharan chuckled over the Haro's speakers, "My my, but we aren't here to give pep talks to the hopeless failures - we're here to make you know that when I saw the images, saw Syndey sink...I was proud, proud to be a Zeon soldier, proud to burn out so many souls tied to gravity - far more proud than I ever was with your Titan masters jamming cybernetics into my brain to control who I was...and if you consider it Orrick, so are you, can you be sure that your own augmentations meen that you think your own thoughts now...your own thoughts...and not theirs? Think about it long and hard...."

The Haro chortled in its childish tone, "Haro...resetting to factory default, purging memory."

Orrick's anger grew as the voice continued to spew this message from it's speakers. As the message finished playing Orrick couldn't hold back his anger an longer as he started to fire bullets from his pistol almost happily into the Haro. "If I'm the failure why are you dead and I'm here to listen to this damn message?!" The bullets ran out of the clip and the little round sphere shaped toy was full of holes.

Nash walked over to the dead Haro and picked it up, "Maybe someone can find a good use for you, like a soccer ball maybe. Nash left the room after holstering his pistol. He walked back to the hangar still stewing over Sharan's final message for him. "I was proud, proud to be a Zeon soldier, proud to burn out so many souls tied to gravity - far more proud than I ever was with your Titan masters jamming cybernetics into my brain to control who I was...and if you consider it Orrick, so are you, can you be sure that your own augmentations meen that you think your own thoughts now...your own thoughts...and not theirs? Think about it long and hard...."

That final message would just repeat itself over and over as Orrick started to think about it.

Getting the nasty vibe that he'd fled from Garrick only to head into worse danger, Ennis held up his hands in a placating gesture and backed away a little.

"The art had to go because the metal it was on had to go, Franke," he said. "And the guys who had been examining back at R&D painted it blue, so I guess they painted the rest to match. It can be taken care of."

Sean

Exiting the cockpit, Sean used the zipline instead of the lift to get onto the hangar's floor. Nash was being a pompous prick...as usual...so Sean was left with no alternatives other than ask Ennis what the hell he was dragged into.Luckily, Ennis was still in the hangar with Franke, who's new arm he didn't notice until after he started to talk.

"Hey, what the fuck happened out there?...whoa...nice arm....Anyways, Face Mask said something about the guy being a traitor, but seriously, you couldn't think of a easier way to kill him?"

Very much focused on guarding against any attempt by Franke to avenge her mobile suit on him, Ennis was somewhat taken aback by Sean for a moment.

"Yeah, well, Sharan fed information to the AEUG. Nice to see Internal Affairs doing its job, right? Apparently they're planning to raid Alcatraz Prison to release some of their allies. I thought I might be able to get some use out of Sharan by exposing him . . . but I can't honestly say I'm unhappy with the result. Son of a bitch was begging to be turned into scrap, and that's what he got."

Nash walked back into the hangar just in time to see Garrick almost throw a wrench at Ennis' Gaplant in such disarray. Nash looked around to see Ennis standing there with Franke and Sean. The thought suddenly hit him, He has spent a lot of time with those zeke's recently.... Could he also have changed his sides in the post-war years. Could he be a zeke as well!?!" As this thought passed his mind Sharan's voice haunted him again.

can you be sure that your own augmentations meen that you think your own thoughts now...your own thoughts...and not theirs?

The thought echoed in his mind, and in anger decided to ignore his thoughts. He walked over and tossed the dead Haro at their feet. "Here, a brand new soccer ball for everyone to play with." He said in an upset tone.

(Titans to go ruin the AEUG's day yet?)

"So...he was a bigger douchebag than I thougt?" Sean said, not really having anything to say in Sharan's defense. Didn't really know the guy, but he acted like an ass all the time from what he saw. "Speaking of douchebags" Sean muttered as Face Mask entered the hangar and threw the haro down. "If that's your idea of brand new, I'd hate to see what you think old and deteriorated looks like."

Royce walked into the hangar and headed over to where everyone was. He could sense the grim tension in the room and asked, "Uh, did I miss something?"

Something in the floor caught Royce's eye. He looked down and saw a battered haro on the floor. "Are those even allowed on a military vessel? Who's is it?"

((Not much to add....:( ))

"Remember back at Pearl Harbor, when I said that every unit has its guy that they want to push out the airlock? Well, we did. Metaphorically. Blew himself up, actually. Anyways, this belonged to him, and if everyone will just let me indulge for a moment . . ." Ennis said to Royce, trailing off as he took a few steps back before dashing towards the busted Haro and punting down the hangar bay, the scrap further coming apart as it bounced along.

"Damn, I've wanted to do that for a while. Shame it wasn't 'alive' so it could yell about it," Ennis said, clapping his hands together. "Now, we've got another few days before we hit Caliornia, so we can keep resting up until we get there, because we're probably going to fly right into another battle," he said to the small group.

Sean started laughing at Ennis' less than mature action of kicking the now in pieces haro. "I think I'm gonna rebuild it, and reprogram it to swear....although I don't know how much of it is still salvageable...any objections?" he asked...not like it mattered to him what they thought. He was probably going to do it anyways unless Ennis was dead set on having the toy broken for good.

"Hell, why not?" Ennis said, shrugging with a grin, plainly in good spirits. Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and began digging into one of the normal suit's belt pockets. "Crap, I can't believe I forgot. Sean, I meant to give this to you before I went out with Sharan, but it slipped my mind."

The Titan Commander withdrew a small datapad, turned it on, and handed it to Sean. The text read:

Headhunter,
I've dug as deep as I can, and haven't found a trace. All the facts tell me that our mutual friend's family must have been moved to Earth. I'd keep up the chase, but to be honest I just don't have the funds to get that far. I'll leave the rest of it to you and whomever else you've enlisted in this little crusade. Best of luck. And tell our mutal friend hello, and that I'm glad he's still around.

- The Harpy


"It's not much, but it's a start on fulfilling my end of the bargain," Ennis said, not mentioning Sean's family aloud. Everyone would likely suspect a Julian-esque deal going on.

*Julian doesn't have a bomb strapped to his cockpit...but that doesn't sound like bad idea :P*

Sean took the datapad and start to read it. It was addressed to a 'Headhunter.' "Not me." he thought as he continued to read on. It was obvious the writer was speaking about his family, and he could only imagine why they're on Earth. It would mean that he'd have to be careful whenever attacking a Karaba base, because there will always be the chance of them being there. Wondering who the reader was, he read down to the signature. 'Harpy...Christina' he thought. 'That's right, I haven't talked to her since the end of the war. Guess I have to find a way to thank her.'

"Why didn't you tell me that you two were friends now? She probably thought I was executed years ago. Better her working on this than some slob from Internal Affairs. Thanks Ennis, I really appreciate it" Sean said while handing the pad back to him
