Title: Untitled.

I can't help retaining the belief that something is going on behind my back. I haven't seen Gunther in about three weeks now. That in of itself isn't that unusual - rather - a tour of duty can be expected to take that long if not longer. The issue at hand here is that no-one will give me a definite answer on just where he is.

Am I being avoided? Or is there something yet more sinister under way?

I have discovered amongst the ranks a growing number of people who dislike Gunther's responsible and diplomatic approach to conducting the Military. These people bear a lust for the blood of their enemies that the current status quo forbids satiation thereof. The fact that some of these people are in positions of power is now somewhat worrying. The words "coup de tat" were mentioned once and now my mind is locked on that possibility.


No-one will tell me where Gunther is. That means a few possibilities.

Gunther ordered everyone to keep quiet so he can avoid me. Is it because I upset him with my last outburst?

He's on some kind of secret mission whose details are classified. "I'm on a classified mission, see you later."

He's gone AWOL and the people looking for him don't want me getting in the way. "Maybe you know his preferred hiding places?"

There are plans in motion or already at their goal of putting the current Admiral out of the way so a new one can rise to take his place.


Maybe it's the hormones and/or the coffee, alcohol and sex withdrawal symptoms clouding my judgement but the last option seems the most likely to me.

I have two options before me at this stage: Fight and Flight. Do I hang around and try to work out what is happening here, or, do I disappear into the desolate backwaters of Rheinland and hide myself? Thinking logically it makes sense that if someone is after Gunther they'd come after us as well. Tying up loose ends, etcetera. On the other side of the same coin if he rocks up tomorrow and finds I'm gone, well, that wouldn't be any good either.

Our daughter is less than a month from full term. I shouldn't have to run these sort of issues through my mind. I should be thinking about buying baby clothes and whose responsibility changing the diapers will be.

To hell with this. I'm outta here. Misaka takes the Alsatia with Sakura on board; myself, Kana and Fumika will nurse the Maelstrom.

Puerto Rico, here we come. At least we'll be safe there until I work out what the hell is going on with all our lives.
