Grant smiled and chuckled to himself as he heard Saturnalia talk he shook his head, "Man you're over thinking this whole deal 'Nalia'." Grant said as she motioned around him, "People are strangers and enemies are enemies that's how I've come to view my life in general. When you come up to somethin' alien of course you're going to question it. I don't care if this is all just a bad dream or some sort of computer simulation or whatever this is. My job is to protect these people and that's what I'm going to do. Like I said an enemy is the man trying to kill those closest to you and or your own body." Grant commented as he gestured to Gabriel over there, "See take him for example. Lieutenant called him fuckin' crazy couple days ago. He also saved SIGMA Leader's butt trying to save your butt. Just because he's strange don't make him suspicious to me." Grant said as he shrugged, "Then again I'm a grunt leading a group of grunts. My job ain't to question orders my orders are to follow'em." Grant said and when Nalia continued onto ask him about himself he laughed not out of mocking but out of genuine surprise. 

"Like I said sweetheart I'm just a guy from nowhere with the unlikely aptitude to be placed in charge of one of the finest group of nobodies under a Lieutenant who makes me look like a chew toy, a captain I'm not worthy of serving under, and a group of strangers who are questioning me about my looks and my suit and what flag I salute rather than asking me out to a nice dinner date. Maybe later." Grant said with grin and he shook his head, "I'm just messin' with you. I don't ask out total strangers. Not that you aren't pretty Miss but I just met you and to be honest I gotta go and get out on patrol duty soon as my prissy team mates get off their BUTTS~" Grant called and was met with a middle finger by one of his team mates which made him nearly bust a gut not trying to laugh. "See we're all family here. You gotta be if you're out there trying to kill each other. My recommendation? Go see what you can find out about Puru, Gab, or you can go to my angsty Lieutenant, don't tell him I said that, and try to weasel something out of him. Good luck with that last one." Grant said as he juggled his helmet from his hand to his other hand. "Anything else I can help you with?" Grant asked.

"What is it Captain?" Paul asked Jason as he walked into the bridge as Baker who was with Captain Jason at the moment turned around quickly once Paul entered the room and went back to her station as he walked up to his Captain. Much to Paul's surprise..."CAPTAIN! LIEUTENANT PAUL!" Puru shouted as she smiled and grabbed him from behind. "Lieutenant! I've been learning all about new stuff. Hard to remember but it's still so cool. All these controls and all of these do-dads it's crazy! I didn't think a ship was this hard to pilot! These people are so cool!" Puru said as she grinned at Paul and let him go spinning around to get in front of him. "Of course Puru but why are you even here?" Paul asked her as Jason shrugged with a chuckle on his face as he gestured towards John who was frowning intensely. "Puru helps keep up morale even if she is a bit overzealous." Williams told Paul as he grunted. "Hey I'm not over...zeal...ous....I'm fun sized!" Puru said with a pouty tone but Captain Jason nodded and patted her on the shoulder, "Yes that you are Puru that you are." Captain Jason stated. "Besides she's just so fun and cute she makes the bridge a bit brighter. Right Baker?" Williams asked as Baker shook her head silently nodded her head shyly avoiding eye contact with Paul who wrote off the newbie. "So much for our whole deal with the others....if Puru's here whats stopping the-" Paul started as Puru shook her head, "Hey! I'm no trouble! Besides I've helped you out the past few days didn't I? Doesn't that mean anything?" Puru asked with puckered up lip and Paul had to admit Puru was a decent pilot. And those DRAGOONS or rather funnels that she uses were more than dangerous. 

He knew first hand what those things were capable of at the hands of the infamous Lao La Lugara the infamous OMNI traitor who Jason had a personal grudge against...and for that matter Paul as well. "Whatever. Captain just tell me what you want me to do." Paul asked in resignation to the situation as Jason finally got serious, "I want you out there with Grant's team. I don't need the bastards sneaking up on us and quite frankly I'd feel much better with you close at hand but I'd be long dead if I went off my feelings. I want you and Alpha to go out and make sure those bastards aren't anywhere near us. If they are break them like only you can my friend." Jason said as Paul nodded. Paul also caught Baker cringing slightly at the word, break and wanted to shake his head. A soldier doesn't cringe from destroying what they have to destroy. And they also don't cringe at betrayal either. It was a staple of work. And it was something he'd experience multiple times in his life. But one time hurt more than others. "I'll help if you want Lieutenant Black Star!" Puru volunteered as Paul looked at Jason whom shook his head, "No Puru you're job is here to protect all of us." Puru frowned at that, "Alright...I just don't like being pinned up in this ship is all." Puru said as she walked over to Baker, "Miss Baker can we take a bath later? They're more fun if I have someone who can wash my back for me." Puru said as Baker blushed bright red but smiled and said, "It's a bit weird of a request but I'll do that for you. It'll be a bit cramped though." Baker commented as Paul left the room not wanting to hear where this was going. "I hope you're getting a kick out of this Captain Jason. Because I'm not." Paul commented bluntly.
