"It's me of course I'm not going to die in some random surprise attack. I wouldn't be me if I wasn't ready for almost anything. Of course I didn't see it coming but I expected some sort of attack on the suits somewhere in transit. The enemy would be a fool to let these things get by." Stan Stone said confidently as he pounded he chest with false bravado and a chuckle. "I'll give them this whoever it was sure was well armed and had drilled their men properly. If they are the Somalian Pirates then they must have bought a man who knew how to train troops....however if the reports we're getting in first some of them were Ex-ZAFT. Reports are sketchy though and it could just be bluster." Stan said cryptically as he walked along. "Relax until we go to the Lucifer there is no real ranking and profiling here. Consider this off the clock and speak freely with me. ORB Is meant to be a free place even if it turns to hell." Stan continued on as he came upon the docks finally in the water there was still some blood floating around the edges of the docks and some stains were clearly there. The blood had been cleaned up but only for a cursor glance. It was there just well hidden. "Yeah the boy is alright. Believe it not he's only in his early twenties and he has shown more skill with a suit more than half the kids his age. He's a real soldier that one....but my question is-hmmmm is that? Hey you there are you ok?" Stan asked a woman who was sitting on the docks casually and looking into the ocean. The woman sighed and turned her head, "Hm? Oh hello there Mr. Stone and aren't you...." The woman was Satsuki Makunouchi who's clothes were covered in bandages and or torn were stray bullets had gone. Her eyes were a mixture of confusion and fortitude. "Ah hello Satsuki didn't recognize you for a moment sorry about that. I'm glad to see you survived." Stan said almost too casually as if he was only mildly glad to see the woman if at all. "So much pain....so much suffering....I....I-damn it. So many lives lost and for what? Some hunks of specialized metal..." Satsuki simply couldn't hold in her frustration anymore. "How many people died yesterday simply because of this project!?" Satsuki said angrily at not just Milya or Stan but she also aimed it at herself. "If only I didn't...if ONLY I could have protect more people....so much suffering and pain. I was born here and was raised to believe that all men and women are equal until they show they aren't. I understand why this has happened but why was it worth the lives of so many people." Satsuki said angrily but hid her face in his bandaged arms. "I'm a failure as a protector of the people...." Stan simply didn't say anything and looked at Milya as if to say, 'Hey if you want to try to console her go ahead. I'm not cut out for that sort of thing.'
