T.R.S. Crusader-captain's table

Didymus met Asuka's puppy-dog face with a wry smile.

"Do you believe that that face shall change my opinion, Miss Soryu?"

"It doesn't, believe me." Rachel, who I forgot to mention was also there, remarked.

He sighed, but it was more of a sigh of mock annoyance.

"Besides, if you indeed wish to ask for mechs from Philanthropy...I suppose as long as EarthCom's okay with it...of course, that would mean that any heat from taking them unduly would be on Philanthropy's CO, wouldn't it? I'm alright with the idea, I think."

He chuckled.

So far, he had actually had several sentences with Asuka today that weren't ripe with tension or sarcasm.

This was a good thing. He thought so, at least.

Colony 049

Quistis spoke up.

"No...she wouldn't." she said.

"Rinoa, stop it. That war is over. We lost. It was a passing dream to think we could have prevailed anyway. The full might of the Republic military would have come around sooner or later. I think you're taking enough risks as is...besides, humanity can't afford disunity. Not at a time like this." she said.

She turned to the man.

"Please, for all of our sakes, don't get us involved with a former rebellion ranking officer." she said.

“… To be fair, Miss. Kanna, you did faint earlier, and you’ve drank quite a bit of the alcohol I bought. I’m merely checking up on you to make sure you’re alright. Forgive me, but I still think of you as my friend, and I still care about you.”

Kanna felt her cheeks warming, praying it was from the alcohol and not from...Other things. She took another step back, trying to prevent herself from looking like a trapped animal. She let out a breath and clenched her fist.

Before NERV Kanna had a pretty decent fight or flight sense but since she was put through what she had been as a teenager it was intensified by about a hundred. She didn't like the situation she was in so she panicked.

".....If you do not leave me alone, I will kill you both." She said through clenched teeth

Rinoa rounded on Quistis in a second, crossing her arms. She did not look quite as sweet as before.

“Quisty, why are you jumping to conclusions? Do you really think I’m trying to restart the Rebellion? Please, that’s just stupid.”

Rinoa shook her head. “I realize I did some dumb stuff before, but I know now that fighting won’t change the problem. I’m trying diplomacy! However, a former general might be a good brain to pick. He failed, but I can learn from those mistakes.”

She turned away from Quistis, and looked to King. “Like I said, I want to meet with him.”

[Colony 101: Woods]

Rica gave a small chuckle. He had caught that twinge in Kanna’s cheeks. Yes, the man always wore sunglasses, and his real eyes were… less than flattering… but they still worked.

“Miss Kanna, as I said, I’m not trying to bother you. However, I’m happy to leave you be, if that is your wish.”

[TRS Crusader: Captain’s Table]

Asuka shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t think they would have a problem with it. Besides, Snake’s our CO at Philanthropy, and I think he still has clout with the bosses.”

“No, we're not...Galv's mother was killed by NERV...” Walter spoke quietly, “I was...four then, so I only know about what I read in the files...Apparently his father was a different NERV agent...But the files listed him as dead as well.

“And when I learned about the other...elemental ones as well. Ones like me and Erin, who could control an element...I wanted...I wanted to help them all,” Walter sighed.

Woods

“...Fine then,” Ethan said, and turned away, “If you need anything, well, you know.

“Come on Rica. The Miss doesn't want us around at the moment.”

“I wasn't aware I was being disrespectful,” Ben said, “I guess I was confused, with the guns and angry voices.”

He glanced to Jordan, “Well, we follow these guys to Burke. He wants to see us after all.”

“It's Richard Peterson...” Erek King continued, “And I don't believe he has any want to restart any rebellion. In fact, he is helping the U.T.R. with the Yeerks. He headed a guerilla group that fought them here.”

While the soldiers exchanged harsh words with the group, chaos approached from the side, carefully stopping off to the side so he could watch as things progressed. If Ben and the rest of the group decided to go with these soldiers, he would follow immediately. If a fight broke out, he would fight and knock the soldiers out. But he knew right there and then that he would not be killing anyone, just like his previous promise long ago to a person who he has not yet met... And who he wanted to meet soon.

After all, even if he had not talked to her yet, he found her.

So for now, chaos watched, aware of his surroundings and watching carefully for any sudden movements. The air behind him began to shimmer ever so slightly, bolts of energy zapping around that area of his back and outwards as chaos slowly worked the power he has not used extensively for a long time...

He was ready to either follow or fight. But he knew Burke was too sneaky, and this was too straightforward.

"What are you planning, Burke..."

While everywhere else had something happening, Nova was waiting... But he wouldn't be waiting without some assurance.

"Sechs, just a moment, if you please. Start shunting generator power into the Solar Lance. When we need to make ourselves known, we will do so."

As Sechs quickly started typing, following Novas commands, Nova looked out into open space through the open view, glancing around the stars. "So the very stars may be our enemy... Very well then. We'll be ready for them when they come."

Jason frowned, looking to Galv now. The boy had never shown and problem being on his own, but he doubted it was easy. Perhaps it was a good thing he and Melanie were sitting there asleep, at least that meant Galv had Melanie...

As much as it bothered Jason to admit it.

"So they just killed all of your parents when you lot were born?" Jason asked, lowering his voice a bit.

....He was REALLY glad they hadn't been born in NERV.

Woods

"Wait"

Kanna spoke, but then stopped herself. Her voice was coming out shaky. Her pale cheeks were still rather warm, so was her nose. She hesitated, looking at both men. She felt like a teenager again...Usually that was a good thing. Not really right now.

"I'm hungry. Melanie's asleep. One of you can cook right?"

'WTF Kanna....THAT'S what you come up with?

“...Erin and I were taken from an orphanage,” Walter answered, “Galv was taken under...different circumstances.”

Galv continued sleeping peacefully by Melanie.

Woods

“...Actually, I do know how to cook,” Ethan said. When growing up, he was the older brother of Samuel, even if they did have different dads. Both of their dads were gone, and their mother was usually...not around. So he had learned to take care of things when needed.

"Snake has clout with the brass? It wouldn't surprise me."

He paused. He had some clout with EarthCom, himself, (as field commander of the Republic Third Fleet and Army, he actually reported to EarthCom), but decided not to mention it.

"Well, if they clear it with EarthCom, then I'm fine with it." he said.

"So, tell me..." he continued, trying to get more casual.

"...what has it been like, working alongside such famous heroes such as Snake? Or, dare I say it, Miss Aran?"

Another question bogged him.

"And actually, Miss Soryu, if you don't mind my asking...how did you go from NERV pilot to rebel pilot-" he recalled their "first meeting" again,

Sixty seconds is long enough to take you out!

-and chuckled.

"-to finally Philanthropy agent? I hope you don't mind if I'm curious. You can ask me something about my service, if you like..."

Colony 049

"Peterson? Oh dear..."

Rinoa probably didn't like him. He ordered the second Dark Matter Solidifyer (it was unstable, though) to destroy itself, then, as acting head of the rebellion when loyalist spec ops teams had captured Oakridge and his staff, he had surrendered at the Battle of Fornax, ending the rebel movement (the corporate one was destroyed shortly thereafter).

"Still, Rinoa, what do you mean by HE failed, and YOU can "learn from him"? ...you REALLY aren't trying to restart the rebellion, right...?"

She had just said that, but Quistis felt the desire to have her state it again.

She liked Rinoa. And she shared many of her political opinions. But she wasn't a radical or a rebel. Not anymore. Rinoa, on the other hand...she wasn't sure about.

Rica coughed a bit.

“Perhaps you do, Mr. Vire, but I happen to be an excellent chef… and it is my kitchen.”

Everything was a competition.

Zohar

The soldiers seemed really upset with Ben. He looked like he might try to hit the boy with his gun – or maybe just shoot him. However, he did neither of those things.

“Come with us, then… and don’t even think about trying anything.”

The soldiers led them down the hall, and towards and elevator…


Jordan, meanwhile, whispered back to Ben as they walked. “Wait, I’m worried… I don’t like the idea of going up there. We don’t know what’s waiting for us. This could be really dangerous.”

He looked to Molly and frowned.

TRS Crusader

Asuka just shook her head for a moment, going back to her food. She had half a mind to tell Didymus to shut up if all he’d ask about was Samus, but decided against it. She was being nice now, after all.

“… How?” She shook her head at his question. “That’s a really long story, but the bottom line is I met the right people.”

That was a very bad explanation. (Mainly because I don’t have a real one)

Colony 049

Rinoa rounded on Quistis again and glared.

“I JUST told you I’m not planning anything like that! Quisty, you shouldn’t ask a person for a ride if you’re going to criticize her so much. I’m trying to FIX the Republic. A guy like Peterson has experience in what NOT to do.”

She shook her head. “I want to meet him.”

Jason's frown deepened..."Poor kid" he said carefully. "He's a good kid....He deserves something good...Wish it didn't have to be my little sister...But he seems obsessed with her. Vise versa actually."

Woods

Kanna sighed, not saying anything to the two men but heading back to the house. She rubbed her knuckles...Punching a tree was probably a stupid idea....She had lots of those stupid ideas lately.

Maybe the two would beat each other up in the kitchen...At least they wouldn't be looking at her.

Zohar

Eva noticed Jordan look to her, and she gave a little shrug. "It's the best option we've got I guess..." The next part she said lower "Anyways, I know your a good shot Jordan...Just in case"

Didymus nodded.

"Indeed..." he said.

He had half a mind himself to remark "That makes two of you" with a nod towards Sama, but decided that that would be...uncalled for.

"Well, alright. How about I ask another question: how did the two of you first feel about working together, you know, being on opposite sides of the Fornax Insurrection?" he grinned.

"Or, is there anything that anyone wants to ask me?"

(Although this dinner conversation gives a chance for relationship/character development, if it's a good idea, we can do a time skip, but for this scene, it would have to be to the next morning's briefing. And C_R, if you're reading this, Cosmo was invited to this.)

Colony 049

"Alright, alright. I apologize, it's just with you, Rinoa, I'm never quite sure what to think in these regards..." Quistis said. "Although I suppose meeting Peterson would be an interesting experience...although you remember that colonel? Sama's CO? Rumor has it that you wouldn't have this chance if not for him." Quistis was actually smirking. Maybe this would give Rinoa some perspective.
Indeed, it was rumored that Didymus had put in a good word for Peterson after the rebellion was over, in light of his actions at the Battle of Fornax. Albeit it was likely enough that he may have received the same sentence (or lack of sentence) without said word, rumors had a way of warping facts a bit...

Rinoa shook her head.

“Do you really think I see things in such black and white, Quisty?”

She shrugged her shoulders. “You’ve got a lot to learn about me.”

[TRS Crusader: Captain’s Table]

Asuka shook her head a bit, not knowing what she could say. She just sat there for a minute, and then at length, leaned back in her chair.

“… I never really cared about the politics, or what flag happened to be painted on the side of my mech. To tell you the truth, I didn’t like Peterson any more than I liked you. I just… Agents of the Rebellion are the ones who helped me out. They saved my life, they gave me a job and they liberated me from what I had been doing… so how could I not fight for them?”

She shrugged. “They’re gone now. So now I fight for Philanthropy.”

[Colony 101]

Kitchen

Rica decided he wasn’t about to wait for Ethan, so he just hurried into the house to whip something up.

[Zohar]

Jordan was uncomfortable about all of this. Eva might have confidence in his shooting skills, but those soldiers had pretty heavy armor, and Jordan had none. True, Ben was a superhero of sorts, and chaos and KOS-MOS had special powers…

… but what if Burke had more than just three soldiers? Could they take on an entire security team? For a hotel this large, the security time was likely the size of an entire army.

“Well, they have each other it seems,” Walter shrugged. He then headed inside for now.

Ethan sighed, as Rica ran off.

“It seems like Rica was willing to leave you here. I suppose we should head back. Don't want you to collapse,” Ethan said to Kanna, “I'm sure your kids wouldn't like that...Neither would I.”

Aiden turned back to Felix, “I'm glad you're okay Felix! What have you been up to lately anyways?”

Ben paused, then turned back to Jordan, “Hmmm...Maybe you and Eva should head back to the Arrow. If we need a quick getaway...”

He glanced to the others. He knew KOS-MOS would have to come. Donald and Goofy probably would as well.

“One second, please,” Ben called to the guards, then back to Jordan, quiet. “What do you think?”

“He is currently working with the U.T.R. force here...If you need to speak to him, I can bring him to you,” Erek answered, then turned, leading them off.

"Ah, indeed." Didymus said. "Makes sense...but if you never cared about politics, why did we have that huge argument a few nights ago? You seemed pretty riled up about politics then...of course, I suppose you just may have been angry at the Republic for allowing an organization such as NERV to exist, but we were unaware of the height of its corruption at the time..."

Misato sighed.

"We...I tried to look after you, Asuka...I'm sorry..." she said.

She had. They had made her the "mother" so to speak (or at any rate "guardian") their Eva pilots, and she did legitimately care about their welfare...

...recent events had given her much to ponder.

"Sama!" Didymus said, trying to lighten the mood. "You haven't said anything this whole meal! Come now, tell us a joke or something, would you?"

He was trying to make the experience pleasant and enjoyable. Although it did occur to him that he and Rachel may be the only ones here not going through severe emotional and mental ordeals right now; Asuka because of her defeat, although she seemed fine, Rei because of...well, he didn't know exactly what was going on in her head, but she...she had shown emotion, seemed confused, then...touched, even, when he had called her a person, he was confident SOMETHING was going on inside her. Sama had just stared down multiple figures from his past, and Misato could still be reeling over the loss of NERV, and/or what had happened to her "children".

"Sir..." Rachel said. "...please." she looked to Sama. "Is something wrong? You do seem unusually glum. I mean, I understand, what's happened to you must be stressful...are you alright?" she asked, offering a sweet, concerned smile.




Colony 049

"Perhaps I do..." Quistis replied. "...namely where you met your...helpers..." she said.

"...I hope you'll pardon me. You seemed to see things in a very black-and-white manner during the Fornax Insurrection..." she said.

"I guess so....But it's weird, I mean they're only kids....And they've got a lot stacked up against them...But I guess if they can make it work then there's hope for the poor saps in the world like us right?" Jason gave a small laugh, following Walter into the house

...Maybe he would check on Erin.

"Don't want you to collapse"

"I'll be fine, i'm not that drunk...I think" Kanna still felt fuzzy, but she was walking relatively alright for being so worked up. She walked back towards the house.


T.R.S. Crusader-captain's table

Cosmo had been present at the table, sitting quietly and not doing much. The girl was still very distraught about her entire situation, as well as the recent passing of the Doctor, who had helped her a lot in the short time she knew him.

She really didn't know what to do in the current situation. She allowed the men at the table to speak, the shy Seedrian listening intently.
