*Bret raises his head in a dizzy motion, looking up at Vixen and one of Ilo's siblings, they themselves looking confused in his actions* Bret: Whaa-what happened? *Ilo walks up behind him, reaching down and picking Bret up by the collar, looking frustrated in his action* Ilo: That is the second door that you've destroy Bret-san...How many must we go through before you realize that you slide it to open?!.. Bret: Sorry..I heard the scream and..and... *Vixen shows Licentia to him, her hair colored violet and adorning some bright makeup*
Vixen: We are all fine..We simply had a little fun with our little one...Doesn't she look cute?.. *Bret drops his head in humiliation, sighing deeply as he shakes himself a bit...He walks over to them, rubbing his paw against licentia's face* Bret: Well..I suppose so...Come on, I'm sure dinner is ready.. *As they all take their seats, Bret makes a face when a bowl of miso soup is placed in front of him..Vixen notices and gives him a look as they begin to eat..After a few minutes, Bret clears his throat, attempting to gain everyone's attention* Bret: I'm going to try and join TAZ.. *Everyone at the table turns their heads, licentia letting out a cry from the sudden silence of the room* Vixen: You're going to try and go after that Gallic aren't you?...I thought we talked about this? *Bret starts to rub the connection in his arm as he looks at her* Bret: Well..I..Uhmm...I just want to try and get back into what I once was...And I feel I could find us a safe place to live in all hell breaks loose... *Vixen turns back to Ilo, a look of worry on her face* Vixen: Ilo..Talk you him..Try to get some sense into his thick skull... *Ilo simply continues eating, unwaivering in his posture* Ilo: If that is his choice, I wont say anything against it... Vixen: Thanks for the help, oh wise one... Ilo: You're welcome... *Bret lets out a deep sigh, shaking his head as he listens to the two arguing* Bret: I didn't think about this lightly you guys...If I can join in with them, we'll be able to keep licentia safe...Thats one of my wishes.. *They all nod a little as they go on with the rest of their meal...A few minutes later, Bret's datapad nearby sounds off* Bret: I got it.. *Bret gets to his feet and walks over, tapping the pad and seeing a visual of Daniel* Bret: Hello Daniel..What's up?... Daniel: Guten tag herr uncle...Just calling everyone and seeing how you are all doing...I hope your little vacation on New Tokyo has served you well?.. *Bret tilts his head a moment in thought, pondering his reply* Bret: Why in the name of sirius would you call me un..cle?... *Bret's jaw drops a moment as Daniel beams on the other end of the call, nodding slowly* Bret: You have got to be kidding me... *Daniel shakes his head as he smiles* Daniel: Nien...Veris told me earlier today, and I thought I would let you know..I've already signed up for a second job as a RepEx pilot to help earn enough to get a place on Stuttgart..I'll be letting the others know of this as well.. Bret: Well..How many?..Do you know?.. *Daniel puts up three fingers as the call ends, Bret raising his head up in disbelief, his eyes rolling to the back of his head as he passes out, slamming back onto the floor, everyone at the table scrambling to their feet* Vixen: Bret?...Bret!...
==3 hours later==
*The group nears the Maverick II, refueling on one of the landing pads nearby..Bret holds his head, still dizzy from the encoutnter of Daniel's message as he turns to Ilo, nodding a few times* Bret: Many thanks for letting us stay at your family's home here on New Tokyo...I must say I was surprised on how well they took people such as us in their house.. Ilo: You are quite welcomed dear friend, and don't worry, with all the things here in Kusari, its people are quite used to such things from some of the programs its youth watch... *Bret nods a few times, his attention turning as an overheard floating billboard passes by* INTERCOM: WE BREAK FROM OUR USUAL PROGRAM FOR A MESSAGE FROM EMPEROR JIEN KOGEN--People of Kusari and the Sigmas, it is my unfortunate duty to inform you... *The group listens closely as the message continues, each watching as the situation unfolds* INTERCOM:...on Planet Honshu, seizing documents, records and arresting 122 members of the Gas Miners Guild. *Bret watches closely as photos of the ones arrested began to show, one catching his eye as it passed, A helemted pilot showing a strange eye through his visor...Bret pauses a moment in curiousity as it passes* Bret: Charles?...
