Reaper of Rishiri

Claire was as anxious as everyone in the room about the sudden development. She looked up to Annis to see what he would decide, but the only thing she noticed was his hesitation and a distinct lack of orders. Despite her lack of awareness of the severity of the engine's issues, she was confident that they would hold, as they seem to be functioning now - even if they did have their hiccups.

Taking the opportunity of the silence before the captain's decision, she intervened with her own opinion.

"Capitaine, IDF Shipping is nearly exclusively owned by my family - vessels belonging to that corporation are our supporters, and support is what we need the most right now. We can't in good conscience leave them to whatever they're being attacked by - we simply cannot turn our backs on our own countrymen." she explained, suggesting what is, for her, the obvious course of action.

The engines rumbled with the occasional disruptions in the background, as if to protest Claire's advice. Ignoring the very obvious hints that she may be leading them to certain doom, she looked expectantly at the captain for his word.
