[Ragnarok] Sama closed his eyes, running a hand through his head. Suddenly, the com-link was back on, and it was Didymus. Ordering them to surrender and cooperate. He sighed and leaned back in his chair. He wasn't sure what to do. He had just punched the Vice President... that would come back to bite him. He would certainly lose his job, and probably end up in prison over this one. ... I... Sama sighed. ... No. You could have prevented this! You know we could have saved Asuka! I'm NOT coming in, and I'm NOT having this conversation. Mengsk is a corrupt bastard who just ordered the bombardment of his own soldiers when they COULD have been saved... He shook his head. Sorry, D. I'm gone. The Ragnarok was powering up to make a jump. Sama knew he had to get to the Plumbers. He hoped they'd help him. Otacon! Scramble ALL comm-channels! Non-Republic encryption! I don't want the Republic able to listen to a word I say. He then deactivated his com-link until it was scrambled. He turned to Crystal. ... Listen, I'm heading to the nearest Plumber meeting place. I... I'll probably be a fugitive... if you want, you can walk away as soon as we get there and forget you ever knew me. Deny it to anyone who asks... you don't need to get mixed up in this. You can come with me if you want, but... He shook his head. ... I'll have to tell Vash and Samus the same thing. Man, I screwed up today... |

T.R.S. Crusader "What I KNOW, Sama, is that you are NOT using your head!" Didymus shot back. "Even IF we could have saved Asuka, that would have involved throwing MORE men into that killing field! That trasport was getting SWARMED-if Asuka HADN'T volunteered to stay behind, it may well have been destroyed-carrying civilians, mind you! That's right-she VOLUNTEERED. She and only she stayed behind and covered the fleeing civilian evac ships." He sighed. "Another thing...that bombardment, the one you're so angry about-I issued the orders for it. Asuka voluenteered to stay behind-she knew what that meant. I HOPE that she was killed in it-it certainly would have been less painful than being dismembered by the zerg, and certainly better for everyone, I may guess, than the alternative...infestation! You can't presume to lecture me on the what-ifs, Sama, I'm in command here-and AS a commander, I CONSIDERED the what-ifs. As EVERY OFFICER-yourself included-IS CALLED UPON TO DO. You-" He was gone. "We're formed up, sir. Jumping." The Third's strike force jumped to hyperspace-leaving the danger behind them. It was over. Didymus collapsed in his chair, and buried his face in his hands, allowing the sorrow over what had happened to finally slam into him, now that the battle was over, he didn't need to remain alert, strong, dauntless. He could let out his emotion now. A sob escaped him. Your ONE chance at a girl...and you buried it. For the greater good. You've done well, today. You confronted an old friend...for duty's sake. Because you had to. Because SOMEONE had to. You have no reason to be ashamed of your conduct this day...so don't worry. Let it out. Cry, if you must. Another sob. They started coming more frequently. He collasped off his chair, falling to his knees with his head against his command console. "I'm sorry, Lord...forgive me of this, if it be wrong..." Step forward now you soldier, how shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My church have you been true? Infirmary Rachel stepped in, here to collect information on the VP's status from McCoy. She looked...visible frightened. Surprised. Maybe even a little heartbroken? |

Ragnarok "You PUNCHED the VICE PRESIDENT DOWN A FIGHT OF STAIRS?!" Crystal exclaimed, obviously caught off guard by the boldness of the boy's actions. Shannon perked up, somewhat impressed. "You can't just punch someone like that! Wait!!! Is that while we'll leaving so fast!? Oh geeeez they're coming after us aren't they?!" Crystal felt ill. Her most recent boyfriend was now a criminal. And they were on the run....This would be rather romantic if it were a movie "I SHOULD leave...But i'll give you two minutes to justify you knocking the Vice President down the stairs..." Ryo-Ohki Jason shuddered "That concept disturbs me so much you know..." Jason muttered rubbing her head. "I'm going to make sure to never embarrass my kid. EVER. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy...." |

[TRS Crusader] In the infirmary, Leonard McCoy was a busy man. He was barking orders at the nurses and medical bots, and was reading six different charts at once. The man always seemed irritated, but now he seemed even more irritable than ever before. SON OF A NO! ALL survivors are to be quarantined until the test results are back! I will not risk infestation on my ship! No, no, the hypoquantathal is only for those in severe condition! DAMN IT! McCoy shook his head and then noticed Rachel walk in. Instantly his face soured. Listen, I don't have any information for you right now! The Vice President is stable, but he suffered some back injuries. We've found no survivors who are infested yet, but I haven't checked them all. I do not have the resources to handle THIS many people, and I don't have charts or medical history on ANY of them! [Ragnarok] Sama flinched. Okay, so it wasn't that shocking that she was mad at him. He had punched the vice president... and knocked him down stairs... and possibly killed, or crippled, the man. ... They're coming after ME. They don't have personnel records for the Ragnarok, and anyway, you're not on the personnel list. They have no way to know you're here, so if you want to leave you can... He frowned. But how could he ask her to stay? He was a criminal now. He couldn't ask his new girlfriend to become a fugitive for him. ... I had to. Mengsk ordered the Third to leave behind a friend of mine... this is the second time someone in Philanthropy has died recently... we could have saved Asuka... and whatever he says, I know Didymus wanted to those two had a thing but... Mengsk! He doesn't care about soldiers. All he cares about is destroying the zerg because he's a big war hero from the last time the zerg appeared... if they're back in full force, Mengsk will get a lot of heat... he cares about his job more than people's lives... Sama shook his head. [Ryo-Ohki] Rica chuckled a few times. Don't worry. I walked in on you and Erin conceiving your kid, so grandpa Rica can do the embarrassing for you. Rica laughed out loud once more, rather enjoying pulling his son's leg. Suddenly, Washu popped up. We're almost at the Apocalypse. I'll be dropping all of you off in the hangar, but I'll be sending Felix directly to the infirmary. I've stabilized him and give him a shot to prevent infection. Thank you. Rica said, and he meant it. Worried as he was for Felix, he knew Luna would help him... and right now, he really wanted to see Kanna. Poor Rica. |

T.R.S. Crusader Rachel flinched, looking legitamately hurt. "I...I'm sorry..." she said. "...but that's all I came in for..." She turned to leave, and trasmitted the details to Didymus. Soon enough, they would arrive at Avalon-and the quarantined, those who needed to, etc., would be transferred to (additional) hospital ships, stations, etc. In short, McCoy's situation became much more manageable. Rachel was soon in the infirmary again, trying to look about. Didymus hadn't been heard from since the fleet moved to hyperspace. Okay, that wasn't entirely true. He had been listening in on the comms, making sure nothing needed his attention... |

[TRS Crusader] When most of his workload was transferred to experts on the subject, McCoy sighed and ended up sitting on a bench near the wall. He had a huge stack of folders, and several holotapes full of information on the tables all over his room. When Rachel returned, he sighed and hopped up. With everything calmer, McCoy had refocused his attention. You! Rachel... how's the Colonel? This can't bode well for him. Damn it, I'm a doctor not a psychiatrist... but I suppose I'll have to be one. He sighed. The Vice President was transferred over to his own staff. I've sent my reports on up to the Administration. Now I need to worry about our ship's administration... he still in the war room? |

Ryo-Ohki Jason paled considerably at Rica's comment, stuttering a bit and PRAYING he would never mention this again. EVER. AT ALL. Especially to Kanna. Luckily before he could totally BSoD Washu came in announcing that they would be back to the Apocalypse soon. Speaking of Kanna....she was going to kill him. Or hug him. Probably kill him....He had only just woken up. "No matter what happens....I'm glad you're not...You know....Dead" Jason muttered, looking embarased "And while i'm REALLY uncomfortable with this whole you and Kanna thing i'm...Glad you're here to take care of her. She mau not admit it but she needs someone to take care of her for a change....Ugh and not like that. Jason was assuming Rica would turn that into something that would make even Jason go red in the face. Ragnarok Crystal stood there as Sama pled his case, frowning for a moment. She then sighed, rubbed her head and looked back to him. "You are an amazing guy Sama, but you can't just push old people down stairs! BUT I appreiciate the heart behind you pushing him....BUT YOU MIGHT OF CRIPPLED HIM. But it was sweet- Uggggggh, i'm conflicted!" The girl groaned, took a deep breath and made a decision "Alright, i'll come, but I do NOT look good in prison stripes!" She then bent down to Shannon to pick the rabbit up but Shannon avoided her grasp, instead jumping on....Sama.....His shoulder to be precise.....And she wasn't trying to eat his neck or even his hair!..... It seemed as if the bunny was actually IMPRESSED by Sama's horrible action. |

T.R.S. Crusader "I..." Rachel paused. "...that may not be necessary...I can...maybe...talk to him..." "...but I don't know..." she looked,again, shocked, scared, even-Didymus may not have been the only person on her mind. "...he's still in the war room, as far as I know...hang on..." She paused. "No he's not. He's...in the chapel." |

[Ryo-Ohki] Rica felt his chest tighten a bit. He had made it. Thanks to Felix and Jason and the others, he had been set free from Burke's clutches, again. He had another chance to know his son... and another chance to be with Kanna. After all, back on the mysterious planet, she had chosen him... Poor Rica. ... Jason. Rica said, suddenly turning serious. I'm glad you're not dead too. I... before we go back and see your mother... He paused, taking Jason to the side, placing his arm around the young man. ... I realize you're already an adult, and you're going to be a father yourself... but... I want to be there for you. I want to actually be a father to you in SOME way... at the very least, maybe I can keep you from making the same stupid mistakes I made... He shook his head. ... What do you say? [Ragnarok] Sama had a million things on his mind at the moment. He was a fugitive, that was for sure. Though, he hoped that the Plumbers could help. Azmuth was a very wise man, and the Doctor always had connections. At the very least, they could help him disappear. Though, he paused... the Metarex... the Zerg... Sama sighed. Even if his military career was effectively dead, he still had to help. He still had to fight. And he was a Plumber. He still had the Ragnarok, and his gadgets. He would continue to fight humanities enemies, even if the Earth had reasons to arrest him now. He looked over to Crystal. Thank you. But don't worry, if anyone asks, you weren't on the Ragnarok when I assaulted Mengsk. You had no part of this, and if I do get caught, I'll leave you out of it. He then leaned back... and noticed Shannon on his shoulder. ... Um... He blinked. ... Hi. Don't tell me... YOU like me now? Huh, who knew all I had to do was become a fugitive... [TRS Crusader] McCoy shook his head. He could see Rachel was shaken up. No. You go and take five and that's an medical order. We all need to make sure we're doing alright. I'll tend to the Colonel. "No he's not. He's...in the chapel." McCoy smirked a bit. Well, it is nice to have a CO who would go to a chapel when depressed rather than a wh... wherever Jim would go. He shook his head, and headed to the chapel. He approached Didymus, but did not speak. McCoy would wait his turn. |

T.R.S. Crusader Rachel sighed. "Yeah...yes...it is..." she said. "...and...alright." McCoy was waiting for a while. Finally, Didymus spoke up. "Does the sight of such battles bring you to this place, doctor...or..." He chuckled. "...what have you got?" |

Ryo-Ohki Jason smiled, accepting the kind gesture "Thanks...And I appreciate whatever you can do to prepare me for what i'm sure is going to be a very strange next couple of months...But i'd rather you put your focus on Melanie...I know she's not your kid or anything, but i'm sure she's really confused about things right now and probably just needs someone to pay attention to her--and if possibly i'd rather not let Galv be the only one who is lest she follow in the family tradition of having kids ENTIRELY too early." Oh look, another concept that make him want to cry pools of BLOOD. ".....Melanie....And Felix....I'm sure they're both having a hard time right now." he looked over to the unconscious boy "....A very hard time." Ragnarok Shannon gave a little bunny shrug, snuggling into his shoulder, clutching onto him with her little sharp nails.... This was still better than having eaten kidneys right? "Alright then....So what do we do now? I mean can we really run from someone like the Vice President? Won't they be tracking us?" |

[TRS Crusader] McCoy sighed and stepped forward. Not really. Such battles tend to keep me in the infirmary, working on stitching up the poor bastards who have to fight them. He shook his head, and stepped forward. ... What have I got? Never you much mind. How are you doing? I heard about Soryu... I know you two were close. Not to mention the others who were lost... are you holding up? [Ryo-Ohki] Rica frowned and nodded. As much as he wanted to be a father to Jason... the boy was grown, and despite a few character flaws he probably got from his father (or his mother, considering...) he was a good man. Melanie, on the other hand, was not his daughter... but that hardly mattered. She was Kanna's daughter, and Jason's sister, and that was more than enough for Rica. ... Okay. I'll do whatever I can for Melanie. And I'm going to help Felix, believe me. Jason... you're a good man. You'll be a good father, and we will ALL get through this hard time. [Ragnarok] Sama was confused by Shannon's stabbing-snuggling. This was progress, at least. Then he turned to Crystal. ... We're not going to run. Admiral Raynor, my boss, has always insisted that Mengsk was corrupt. President Riley is a good enough man. If we can prove that Mengsk IS bad news, then he'll be the one who goes down. We just need proof that the Vice President is corrupt... we show it to the President... Mengsk is forced to step down, and I get a pardon. We all live happily ever after. Sama was assuming they COULD prove the VP was bad, and somehow get an audience with the President without Mengsk stopping them. |

T.R.S. Crusader "Doctor...please, mind your language in this place." Didymus said. "As for me...I had to personally sacrifice someone I was close to, I lost one of my very few friends in the alteraction with Philanthropy, the media will likely increase the volume of their calls for my head, and..." He paused. "...just more thoughts about how this will further seal the fate of my romantic life. I don't think I need to openly tell you how I'm feeling in light of these facts. As for holding up...I don't know. I'll...I need to pray, to reflect...then...press on, right?" |

[TRS Crusader] McCoy shook his head. ... I'm sorry for what happened. As for pressing on... don't press yourself too hard. You were already recalled from leave early. If you need it, take some time off. Clear your head, get at peace with what happened today. |

Ryo-Ohki Jason grinned, giving a small nod. "I'm sure we will, and by the end of it you'll be a grandpa and i'll be a dad...Strange concept....But i'm excited." Jason was started to think that maybe things would work out...Sure they had A LOT of issues to deal with but they had already overcame a lot already right? How much harder could things really get? Ragnarok Crystal frowned at the idea that such a high figure could be corrupt, hoping Sama was right in his thinking and not just jumping headfirst into a situation he wasn't ready for. "So how do we go about getting proof? I mean won't he be on super guard after you knocked him viciously down a flight of stairs?" Shannon snuggled against the boy. |
