(Time skip to an hour later, we're well outside Konpeitoh's patrol range now.)

The 7th Lunar, in a neat three ship wedge formation, taking a direct course for Granada and the safety of the AEUG fleet headquarters. All over the ships, crewman floated about, patching the smaller holes and effecting as much repair as they could to the more heavily hit areas.

Karl stood at the head of the briefing room, holding his oldest bottle of Bourbon with a jovial grin on his face, they had lost the entirety of the reinforcement MS but he didn't want to diminish his units overwhelming victory, "All right you scuzzy bunch of Pirates, this bottle goes to the highest scoring pilot of this engagement, who might that be?" Karl asked, calling for his pilots to boast.
"Into the Sky, to win or die."

Jim sat in the briefing room, contemplating what to do. A large part of him wanted to walk up tot he podium and smash Karl's face in, since the initial after-action report indicated that they'd lost eight suits and two of the ships that had been there to 'cover' the Gibberish team's withdrawl had taken moderate casualties as well. Son of a bitch is celebrating like we just kicked the crap out of Jamitov when this is just a pinprick to the shitheads' war machine he fumed to himself. Jim didn't comment on his kill count, since for starters, he didn't drink, nor did he want to validate Karl's exuberant mood. Jim saw Ambrose start to jump at the chance, but he stepped on his friends foot, and Ambrose took the hint and held his tongue.

Wolfram stood near the right side of the entrance to the briefing room, leaning against the wall whilst everyone sat down. Listening to Tirpitz's offer of an ancient bottle of rather fine bourbon to the pilot who got the most kills made him feel sort of ridiculous. What happened today was nothing less than a minor setback for an organization as...elite as the Titans. I think I'll decide to stay for a while; see what happens. Wolfram remarked inwardly with an external snicker.

Samantha:

Samantha had been sitting in the middle of the room and watching as her Commander had offered the best pilot a drink. She was by no means the best pilot and she had something of a foul taste in her mouth after bringing someone back to this ship who wanted to desert the Titans. "This doesn't seem right."

Linda:

She looked around the briefing room as many of the other pilots were sitting there many of them had sour looks on their faces as their commander asked them a question. Fed up with their response to Karl she rose to her feet. "Sir, I had one kill today. I know that;s not much but since no one else wants to say anything..." She said shooting Jim and Ambrose a sharp glare.

Summer:

Summer sat silently in the cell that they had put her in right after her arrival. She had taken the gloves off of her suit and her helmet was sitting on the ground underneath the bunk she was sitting on. "I wonder when someone will finally come and talk with me. I have to admit I'm a little nervous, after all I could be shot dead anytime for no good reason."

Jim knew that Sam had pulled in a Titan interested in defecting, and decided that his time would be far better spent talking to her instead of sitting here listening to Karl claim victory despite the ashes of fellow pilots, even if Jim had never met them. Jim quietly stood up. "I got four splashes plus a damage, Karl. If anyone did better than that, more power to you. If not, the bottle goes to Cyclone. As for me, I'm going to go talk to the prisoner Ensign Alexander brought back, I think that she's more likely to talk to someone who knows what she's going through" he said, spin control in full effect with his last comment. With that, Jim walked out the door.

As soon as he was clear, Jim headed down to the brig. He saluted the guard on the cell and let himself in, and looked at the prisoner/defector. Hard to imagine this one as a hardened killer he mused to himself as he leaned against the wall and folded his arms "Its not easy leaving everything you know behind and admitting that you've become what you beheld, is it, Ensign?" he asked, pausing as his own demons reared their head.

She watched as Jim entered the room he asked her a metaphorical / serious question. As she listened to him she asked, "Before I answer that, may I ask if we have ever met before? I remember your voice from somewhere but I can't but a time on when I'd heard it before. As for leaving everything behind and realizing that... It's very hard especially when there's still people I care for on the other side of the line. But its because of them that I want to fight to end this." She said sincerely as she sat sternly looking eyes with Jim.

Jim recognized the simple tone of sincerity in the pilot's voice. He didn't have any idea who she was, though, although she seemed to think they knew each other. Jim checked his memory from both his space and shore tours, and came up with no remote matches for her. "I'm sorry Ensign, but I don't believe we've met before. I was in from 0077 to 0085, but I don't think we've ever served together. And I know its hard to fight what you believed in for so long. Took me two years off the grid before I ended up here. I imagine it doesn't sit too well with you either. Just remember: you did the right thing. Now, if you wouldn't mind telling me, what unit were you with?" Jim asked, trying to break the ice a little as he started getting information from her.

Summer:

"Oh right, I'm sorry my name's Summer Hearst, Retiro Autonomous Assault Fleet. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, um Lieutenant Commander..." She realized for the first time that she had come to a new ship in which there was no one that she knew. This was the first time she'd felt so alone, and the only relief from that and the thing that pushed her on was that she knew she had made the correct decision.

Jim extended his hand to the defector. "Jim Anderson, Miss Hearst. 390 Federal MS Team in the War, then DEVRON 17 off the Marsa Allan after Stardust. You join up post-Stardust, or did you serve in the War?" Jim asked her, using the common ground angle for all it was worth.

Summer:

She shook the mans hand and answered him with her military history. "I served in the One Year War. My parents were true believers in letting their children do whatever they wanted and my sister and I grew up happy. When the time came I got into the academy on my first try and I was pretty happy about that. I was finally getting to help out people and protect. Eventually my class was sent out early due to the dire need for soldiers all over the Earth Sphere. I was stationed in an out of the way base on earth for nearly seven years after that."

She looked down remembering the time she had and what not, or rather who not to include in this story. They needed to know her background not her personal life. "I learned to pilot mobile suits there and got good at it. I saw actual combat once during the war, and some years later Kathy and I went into space as Titans. The only action before I came over here to you guys was when they stormed S-12... I couldn't fight since my Hizack's engine had blown out. That about sums up my military history."

“Uh, sir.” Banska sat with his head on his hands.

“What did we accomplish? I’m still not sure why we attacked that place, like, other than that supposed defector we really didn’t get much out of the deal other than all of our reinforcements being cremated. Not to be a downer… Or anything…” He began to scratch his knuckles nervously, having perhaps said too much.

Upon hearing Senne's comment of pointing out just how pointless the battle really was, Wolfram decided it was time to leave. But he quickly needed to find something to do. Thankfully, inspiration struck him rather quickly as Wolfram looked down at his belt and found the heirloom holstered. "I'll be down in the shooting range if anyone needs me. I need to get some practice in, anyway."

Quickly giving everyone a light salute, he walked out of the briefing room and began his walk down to the shooting range at a steady pace.

Samantha:

With this meeting seemingly at it's end Samantha decided to follow the new guy Wolfram down to the firing range but at a distance. She needed some more practice with small arms and now was a good time to do it.... Not to mention she might be able to get some words out of this guys mouth other than negative ones that she heard at the onset of the battle. "I wonder just how well this'll work out." She thought to herself.

Karl shook his head at the pathetic display his pilots were giving, "The point was to cause destruction, to deny our enemies the materials and personnel they need to wage their war against us." With that Karl walked from the room, a serious frown on his face as a result of his disgust at his pilots attitude.

Either because he didn't care or genuinely wasn't noticing her, Wolfram was oblivious to Samantha following him as he continued down towards the shooting range. Instead, he focused on whether or not that heirloom would still fire even though it had undergone pristine refurbishing three years ago. "Even if I don't fire the Mk II, I could still use a bit of practice. I swear...Tirpitz is less charismatic than I thought he was at first impression. He needs to stop giving out vintage bottles of bourbon." Wolfram spoke his thoughts as he was still unsuspecting of Samantha's presence.
