"I think... You're over estimating them. By far. Had they had a small amount of skill, tactical planning, or general common sense, they would not have taken so many casualties for inflicting so few. The first to arrive revealed herself before comrades arrived, a flare for the dramatic that cost them horriably. Had they waited, spread around the room, taken possitions strategicaly before thier intentions where brought to light... It would have been a different story. Proffessionals, do not let idiotic notions of pride, drama, satisfaction in entering undetected, interfere with thier work, and cause this whole ordeal to backfire horriably."

Scarlet straightens her uniform, returning the singed cap to rest on her head.

"Miss Stone should be considered the only cassualty, they apparently thought having her under some semblance of control would offset thier loss. As such... Removing... Her as an obstacle would be the best call to make Admiral. Cryogenic tubes or a bullet through the head would remove the liability, although the second is far cheaper"

[Mark]

Yeah, if we can't find out what she knows and why they wanted to kill her, we'll be completely in the dark, might end up starting a war that wouldn't of if we knew what she knows.. guess we'll just have to wait and hope she survives..

'That's why I don't wear fancy admiral uniforms. Even within my own. Notice that you can't tell difference between me and ensign unless examining rank insignias.' He thinks for a while. 'And for going out as official I always make use of personal armor. Better safe than sorry.' He takes a note from a Aeilta box and shows it to interested ones. 'Appears they want some kind of revenge.'

[Lennox]

Probably...yes. The knight in space told me something like that, too. So I guess they want to come back. The 'leader' of the knights also told me, very weird she told this to me anyway, they will kill Miss Stone. She sounded very sure about that but in connection to their strategically inability, like you are saying, it's only a matter of time till the rest of them have been sorted out of the existance.

[Jeremy Hunter]

Jeremy, for all his silence, had been nearbye the entire time.

"There will be no murder. If she asks that her life be taken, then it is a mercy killing. I once charged into a Naval carrier to save a single life. I'd do it again, because we are the Order, and we are here to protect humanity."

Jeremy fell silent again.

May you ever walk in the Light, Shizune.

[Lennox]

But not from themselves I think. *he pauses and thinks a bit* But that does not mean I wouldn't risk my life for possible innocent people. Sure you are right, we are existing to defend our kind against....higher interests but I think that does not include the wars between the houses in that way it threatening the whole existance of us, or am I wrong?

[jimmy Patterson]

"wow scarlet,just wow thats the best you can say -shoot her shes a risk- hahahahahahaha,is that how the Navy handles things now,if so im glad i left when i did"

<he sat down noteing jeremys comment as well" honorable but foolish if preformed solo" <he looked to scarlet>" im guessing jeremys an amateur now for no sense of tactical planning and reckless actions? i know what hes capable of ,id say he was well within the right to pull that off because he knows what he is doing,as did they"

"there going to come back,if they want her dead and they wont make the same mistake,there not dumb, blinded by honor and arrogant yes but not dumb as for finding out what they want,well need to check her out cant talk to aelita due to the infection,we dont know how she will react"

[Scarlet]

"I listed two options, Patterson. Shooting her is merely the cheapest and quickest solution to an unfortunate problem. And Jeremy... Well. At least he got out alive hm? Regardless, his situation was different. He was acting out of a sense of honour, and working to achieve something worth a single life, the continuity of another life. Here... Well. You can see how well it went... Sacrifices must be made, but everything becomes and equation. Does the outcome match or even outweigh the loss of man and resources? If yes then the sacrifice was admirable, if not then... Stupidity and imcompetance. Those are the only words I can think of to describe the debacle we bore witness to"

"hmm ok,valid points mabye im still on edge so forgive me,but theres something you have to understand with us,were not the liberty military every life is sacred here even those whpo cant currently help right now"

<he looked over one of the few remaining corpses of the knights> "some of this gear is military grade,amateurs wouldn't have the funds for it the blades appere hand made and expertly crafted"

<he let the body be taken away> look we should stil lprepare,try to find out everything about them just incase surely me and you can at least agree on that"

[Scarlet]

"Yes, I can agree on that. Perhaps on some strange quirk of fate they do have a few hundred personal and ships. However I disagree. Equipment does not make proffessionals. I've known amateurs with warships, fail in thier first combat experience, and proffessionals with a wooden blade escape against all odds. Do not mistake funds for skills"
