*She has to be his sister? They couldn't have gone to high school together, or have been neighbors? :P *

Leet

Leet continued to drink his coffee with the rest of the team when he noticed that the boy was with one of his female subordinates. "This kid is having one hell of a fucked up of a childhood, and this is probably just the beginning. he thought to himself before remembering that he was suppose to have been sent off with the rescued POWs from the prison break. Looks like he had no choice but to be a stowaway again Leet thought with a slight grin on his face.

[NPC action history, and offscreen flashback kill for Delta, posted with permission of O'Regan and Ace]

Jim looked at Eddy. "This is no fault of yours, Ed. You weren't the training officer or the tactical officer. My training program, my tactical plan. My fault. This is war though, and a lot more good people are gonna die before we finish the Titans. You were a pilot in ranks, you bear zero responsibility for this" he responded, remembering one of the things Rick had told him when right after he'd been awarded the 22nd Mobile Suit Squadron aboard the Kandahar, but before 30 Bunch.

Jim, you've been a hell of an XO. Best I've ever seen, bar none, and I'm damn grateful for that. But as XO, your focus was always been on the Men above all else. As a Commanding Officer, the mission has to come first, before the men. Sometimes, it is necessary to send your men into a situation knowing they will die in order to get the job done. It is your job as the Commanding Officer to make that call, and to send men to die if necessary to accomplish the mission. I saw how hard you took Geisler's death, and that was a necessary one to keep the convoy safe. As the CO, you have to make calls like that. You're more than ready for your own Command, but you need to harden yourself for that to take it up to the next level

Jim had never truly understood those words until now. Michiko and Medea were dead, but they hadn't died in vain. The desperate rearguard action they'd fought against three Titans had given the Small Platter enough time to get away... and left them totally exposed when they finally fell back. If they hadn't fought off that HiZack, Barzam, and Marasai, then those three suits would have broken through and had excellent shots on the ship. Instead, Medea had killed the HiZack, burying another Titan bastard, while Michiko had damaged the Marasai before they'd started to fall back. Those two pilots had died saving the ship, and there was no higher calling than that. Jim closed his eyes. Heavy lies the crown indeed, Rick. I hope I'm up to it Jim thought, since it was his battle orders that had put Delta out on a limb like that.

He then turned to Sam. "Sorry Sam, I'd rather not leave after I walked in on you with a loaded weapon" he said, then waited as she made her speech to Eddy.

"Ya know you didn't need to walk in, in the first place. AND for your information it was just to get Eddy out of his funk, I wasn't actually gonna do it or let him do it!" She said in response almost as if it was an insult from Jim. She turned back to Eddy, "Whenever you're ready, I'm eager to hear everything you say."

Eddy leaned down, put his head between his knees for a moment to think straight and then turned to Sam straight in the face. "Your brother, when I first met him was a very angry kid...and I mean that with complete literal wording. He was quiet, a bit withdrawn and filled with hatred for the Zeons. I couldn't blame him; anyone who lost their family during Operation British deserved that kind of hatred. Even now, I understand why that kid does why he does."

He paused for a moment, then spoke again. "After we met again in combat, he was still as angry and enraged as ever. But he's gained a control over that rage; Orrick knows to channel it, utilize the flow. Although, with the right wording and such, I made him slip up once or twice. I haven't seen him since he was captured. But if you're thinking what I think you're thinking, it might do something for him. Orrick finding out a member of his flesh and blood was alive may do him some good."

Shane

Shane was in the mess hall sitting at a table with a small bowl of mac & cheese. He was eating lunch slightly startled about the alarms, but thought it was cool that there were real mobile suits fighting so close to him. He couldn't wait to tell his mother about it.

Zane

Zane came within range of the Small Platter, and announced his status so the bridge knew he was a friendly. He requested permission to land his Rick Dias, as well as an audience with Karl. The information he had was urgent, and a top priority for Karl to hear.

Jim looked over at Eddy and chuckled. "You sure he's gotten over his anger issues? Considering he almost put a bullet to me while I was chained to chair after some heated words... not exactly a sign of someone's who's completely stable. And don't even get me started on his monologing" Jim responded, keeping his face neutral to hide his disdain for the little snot.

Karl sat on the command deck, manning the 'Kirk' chair again when Zane's request came through the comm officers station panel, Karl nodded and told the man to have Zane head up. Minutes later Zane came up onto the bridge deck, "Alright Zane, what's to urgent?"

Zane

Zane flashed Karl a memory stick with a grim looking face. "I need to show you this in private. It will more than make up for me returning late." he said while walking towards his commander with the data.

Karl nodded, *Seems everyone wants a private meeting these days.*, he thought as he stood, "We can use the briefing room down the hall." Karl again delegated his duties at the conn and then took the lead, quickly bringing the two of them into the briefing room he'd just come from only a few minutes ago, "Alright, what's so important?" Karl asked, a little annoyed with Zane's late arrival and more than a little curious as to the contents of his flash drive.

Zane

"It's my combat data from the battle...it has to do with Sean...Just watch. It'll become clear." Zane said while putting the flash drive into the computer. The large monitor turned on and showed the Dias' main camera as well as all the audio*including the little face pop-ups that come with them* coming from all open channels and their own private one, as well as Zane's own voice where applicable. The video started with the screen turning on, signifying Zane activating the unit. The video played out the battle in Zane's perspective. None of this was new information to Karl, as he was there. The feed then cut to Zane escaping, and then a new face popped up on the open channel. The Rick Dias was in range to hear all off the audio coming from Sean, Montagory, Ennis, Franke, and Jurik.

"I am Lt. Jacob Montagory if the AEUG. I'll be quick and to the point. We know our Ensign 'Bill Johnson,' known better to the EFF by his real name of Sean O'Regan, is piloting a mobile suit for Titan forces. Regardless of reason, we want him in our custody for punishment of betraying our noble cause of destroying corruption and tyranny of the Earth Sphere and fighting alongside the scum of the galaxy. If not returned to us, we will have no choice but to use our hostages against you."

"I call irony on you calling the Titan boys the scum of the Earth and then using hostages."

"This is Commander James Ennis of the Titans Helios Squadron, Prisoner O'Regan is working for us under threat of death. He goes to you, we atomize him.....But in this the AEUG has shown its true colors. Release the hostages, immediately. I don't care what anyone else thinks, the harming of unarmed civilians is not acceptable. How dare you call us scum and then threaten a mother and her child?!"

“The Titans do not negotiate with terrorists. We kill them.”

"I'M NOT WITH THESE GUYS BY CHOICE! LET THEM GO OR I'LL KILL YOU!"

"As I said, we want Sean in our custody immediately for capital punishment of betraying humanity and piloting for the benefit of the Titans regardless of what his circumstances are. We will use extreme measures to achieve our goal......You can't see too well, but Shane is behind them as well.......Sean has ten minutes to head to these co-ordinates to reunite with his family, otherwise the blame is squarely on your hands. It's a small warehouse one mile east of the S-12 Base."

"Ennis, I'm going to get them."

"Go...Keep a live feed on at all times. I see what you and your suit see at all times. But go....Good luck. Now go!"

The video then continued as Zane jacked a Dodai and took the long way to the location, watching the warehouse from afar. Sean's HiZack got there before Zane, and the video showed Sean jump into warehouse. TO stay out of the sight of the Titan Base Jabber, Zane had to land the Dodai, but the unit took off as soon as an explosion was heard, and after clearing the tree tops, the warehouse was seen ablaze and collapsing.

Samantha sat there and listend to Eddy's tale and then Jims experience with her brother. Then she decided to counter Jim's arguement for the sake of getting all of the facts straight. "Well, Jim. You claim to be clam corerct? However, your attitude would change if I started saying things like it's your fault that 30 bunch happened cause you trained the soliders, or that you left good soliders behind so that others could escape. I could make up any number of things, things that dont neccassairly have to be true but it would get you wriled up am I wrong?"

Jim looked at her, his eyes burning. "Angry? Yes. Emotional? Probably. To the point where I'd put a bullet to a Prisoner of War? No. Even war has rules, and your brother let his anger get the better of him, and would have crossed the line if I wasn't very, very good at unarmed combat." Jim replied, not happy about being compared to Orrick.

"WEll sit back and play the devil's advocate here for a moment. I'm not trying to justify what he did was right, but if you put yourself in his shoes, in all the circumstances that he went through, and all the pain that my brother suffered as a result of war, can you blame him?"

Sam sat back and thought quietly for a brief moment. "What exactly did you say to him that got him mad enough that he almost killed you?"

Karls face was dominated with a sour frown when the video finished but that was only a small fraction of the anger he held inside, he'd known Erica for years, thought of her as a friend, if not all that close of one. His only solace was the fact that he knew Shane was alive and well, still in the care of Leet's team.

After a few minutes he spoke with a low, harsh tone, "I know Shane is alive, I want you to take this information to Jim, have him run that guys name through the AEUG database, I wanna know who he is and why he was even at that base, let alone why he knew about Sean."

Zane

Zane walked towards the computer once again and retrieved the flash drive, giving Karl a nod to signify he understood the order. He pocketed the highly important information. "I think I remember him from Hawaii. Wasn't he the guy who was with her the day they came aboard the ship...I didn't know it was Sean's family, but I did keep a watch on them to make sure they didn't touch anything or act suspicious. But he was definitely with them that day. I do need to ask this though, what does this mean about the AEUG? Are they still the freedom fighters they wish to portray themselves and this is just one guy's doing, or did the AEUG hierarchy do this?" Zane asked, wanting Karl's opinion more than anything else.

Karl, much like Zane himself, had his own share of skeletons in the closet, and was a more realistic person than most of the one dimensional 'I will save the day to fight tyranny for the will of the people.' From hte begining, it was always on Zane's mind that although the AEUG think they have a righteous cause, the Titans do too, and both sides would go to the extreme to destroy the other. Whoever this Montagory was, proved the point brilliantly.
