"You're not ORB kid don't try to rally us behind a war like that." Stan Stone commented bluntly as he as leaned forward on the table. "No you may not be dismissed because we got to ask you all one question. Minus our little friendly weasel boy over there." Stan continued impatiently as he looked at Richard, "I have no right to ask this of you but all of you need to answer the following." Stan Stone started to say but before he could continue he was interrupted by Welsh. The Irish Captain got up and cleared his throat for the first time he was actually looking professional since he got into the room itself. "Hey there listen up all of you and shut up I don't want to hear it from any of you children or you officers. We have come to an agreement. This agreement is the following: To prevent the leaking of knowledge about these suits in mass as to not cause chaos we are offering you the spots in the army of OMNI. You will be 'honorably discharged' from ORB for the time in OMNI. OMNI will offer increased pay or otherwise for you if you accept this offer? Why do we want you in OMNI you're going to ask next I bet. "The answer: We want you to pilot the mobile suits known as .G.U.N.D.A.M. for us until such a time where we can find pilots. If you decline this offer you will be asked to sign legal papers that threaten legal execution if you are caught talking about the suits until such a time where they become well known. So what do ya all say to that offer eh?" Welsh asked patiently as Richard sat there in silence as he thought about what happened and all the lives lost....and of course his long lost friend suddenly showing up as a terrorist. This was all insane....all of it! But what could he do about it? He could curl up and sign the papers....or...."I accept the commission granted in full view of the Head of ORB's Noble Families and yourself Captain Welsh. I want to pilot Calamity for a better future. ZAFT or whoever is behind this will pay!" Richard said without a second's more hesitation to the contrary.
