[color=f7941d]‘I am having our officers double check to make sure that all of you are ready to risk your lives with a chance of return’[/color] So that is it then, they think this is a mission with a high chance of death. Maria’s conclusion in her mind was thus also a confirmation that General Sho was following his own agenda, since the Commander made it clear when W-1 was first formed that he would not support her active participation in missions, despite what the C40 demanded. In a way, this made her ponder on this Eleven general, and the fact that maybe she had found a new ally amongst this virtual swarm of naivety. From her sitting position, Maria saw Blake and his inner circle of followers arrive. The Commander saluted as she had, the Spanish lech then almost immediately made moves on the Eleven assassin girl. Predictable Maria though, though she acknowledged at least he was no coward, as he had tried a similar introduction with her when they had first met in Paris before the departure for this country. More than she could say for the Frenchman who almost screamed fear in his eyes. To be honest, the man’s question concerning the inappropriateness for his presence in this mission was in ways her question too. Why had Sho bothered to call in both him and herself for the same mission? [i]This was a destroy mission wasn’t it, not a capture one?[/i] Finally, a very tall man in a Black Knights uniform appeared through the doorway. Though the man was apparently with the Black Knights, he was obviously not an Eleven, seeing as he was clearly Caucasian in appearance. He walked straight up to her and the Eleven assassin. Two in merely moments, they were quite popular today it seemed. Perhaps another lech? [color=1b1464]“A pleasure to see you two are well lieutenant and miss Fuuka”[/color] the strange Black Knight said. [i]Bizarre.[/i] He acts as though she recognises him? Does he actually think she looks at and memorises every single Black Knight she passes? Though, she supposed, with such an out of the place appearance, perhaps he was right to assume she would remember or recognise him. She debated what her response to this issue should be, or if she should even respond. The Eleven had decided to ignore him and look at Sho. Her military discipline told her the right action would be to ignore him and look to Sho too. Still, Sho clearly wasn’t doing anything as they were still waiting for the ‘information experts’ to give their findings... and the only other topic of discussion was either concerning the Frenchman or Garcia’s endless flirting. Almost mentally face palming, she decided why not. [color=973B38]“Sorry, Corporal Silber was it? I haven’t seen you before”[/color] she tried responding as politely as she could, trying to ignore the fact she was in a room filled with people she typically detested. She doubted any real conversation could be struck up in the middle of a meeting, even with Garcia derailing it, but there was always the future. Who knew, maybe this out of place Black Knight saw the war against the Britannians as she did.
