>>6324713That much had been a shake-up as the kinder person you'd had impressed yourself for Chairman Clyne being...
<span class="mu-i">But it's been Seven months since then and the war had <span class="mu-s">only turned itself into a protracted stalemate.</span></span>
Doing final adjustments to your craft, you prepare yourself for a routine patrol for the one man army the Alliance had hired to pester this Sector as you hail communication lines across the supply stations.
Well until you had someone calling for you from the Nemo itself, raising an eyebrow at the surprise as Margelland didn't have anything in particular to report-.
"Yo! Frieden, readying for a scheduled search?" Rusty responded from the other end of the comm line as your features softened up to their jovially enthusiastic tone.
"Pretty much, How's your GINN holding up?" You ask away as Rusty shakes their hand sideways.
"Well, the bullet fragments have been cleared up, but the internals are a worry, ETA's a week from now for me to go back to duty, but Yzak and Dearka probably took the worst brunt of it." Rusty rubs the nape of their neck "They uh... <span class="mu-i">Still aren't pissy about that Blue GINN</span>, right?"
That one... That had been the MS the one-man army mercenary of the Alliance had been seen with.
"Athrun would have me believe they still are." You had nonchalantly mentioned from your exchange with the ace pilot "But I know you enough by now that you always forget to hail good luck if you aren't present, what's the biz?"
Rusty's eyes go wide as he soon seems to fumble with the pockets within his coat "Oh, yeah, Crap! I think I left it at my bunk!" As he panics lightly, you simply look at him with a raised eyebrow as he looks back to the camera "I was meaning to give you a copy of our graduation photo, Since the Nemo has the means for it, I'd just remembered-."
You laugh softly as Rusty just pouts, slightly embarrassed at his own mistake "It's fine, <span class="mu-i">I don't show up in it since I took it. I'm not hung up about it.</span>" Rusty however, seemed to think otherwise.
"I mean, yeah but... <span class="mu-i">Miguel didn't seem all that pleased about you taking it...</span>" Yeah, him...
"I've got to go, Rusty. You'll shuttle back to the Vesalius after your repairs are finished for the cycle?" You ask away only for them to affirm, closing the comms line as you link up to the MS you're partnering with for patrol.
"Alright, Black-Band. On your best performance today!"
And as Aiman quickly readied themselves up to launch ahead of you, So did a slight glimpse at their Orange GINN show upon your main camera before being loaded into the catapult...
Right into your own turn.
