"Conflicted? I have no problem with gunning people down if needed. It's the unneeded killing that-" Paul was stopped by Jason whom held up his hand, "Let me explain my lieutenant's nature and argument for you Mr. Leo. While you have a perfectly reasonable mentality Mr. Leo, it is admittedly the mentality of most ancient warriors noble and proud as they were, but in my opinion it is indeed shorted sighted. But if you see yourself as a murderer nothing more and nothing less then you have lost a large bit of the respect I had for your abilities to put Angelo away like you did. As well as the respect you had for helping save Stella. When you get an order to murder a person it is your right, and duty, as a human to question if you're doing is right. There are times when you need to fold your cards so to speak in a situation and there are times when you need to play them. What happened today was a occasion where my men went in with orders to kill sparingly and show a strong power base towards Angelo. "The intention for the assault on Angelo was for Angelo to be scared off and disabled from attacking us further. What happened was a full blown massacre that was forced on us as a group because the men following Angelo were loyal and or fanatical to his cause. Of course there are good sides to this we rescued Stella Loussier, a fellow OMNI Soldier, and we prevented needless sacrificing of our lieutenant's life..." Jason said as he gave a frown towards Paul who cringed inside. "And we also forced Angelo away permenantly. It is also possible we could gain an ally in you Mr. Leo. Your skills are good and you seem to be reasonable man But first I need to get something off my chest: I understand that you don't know my men and we don't know you but I assure you that Lieutenant Paul, Ensign Grant, and the captains of my infantry squads have all done their fair share of kill shots willingly without even questioning why in the midst of combat. However all of the soldiers whom serve under me understand that you need to have restraint Without restraint bad things happen. If you believe the murder of innocent lives preferable than by all means continue thinking that. War is hell but one should never lose sight of the people that men like us are meant to be protecting. Regardless of mine own beliefs and yours, I apologize if I offended you in anyway but it is what it is and I will not concede anything further. I need to stick up for my men I'm sure you understand that...Also I hope you're a bit more aware of the fact that Paul has a pistol in his hand correct? I'd personally not want to make fun of a guy with a loaded hand gun. Now if you would put that away Lieutenant..." Jason said as Paul nodded and put it away. He didn't like that he had to do so and it was clear this man would be no friend of Paul's but if the orders came from Jason then Paul would follow it to the end. "Now with that ugliness is out of the way Reve...I will allow you freedom in what you do in combat, within reason that is I can't let you go charging into blow our cover in the middle of an sneak attack, and I will grant you freedom to work on your suit with the concession that you will eat in your assigned room and not bother Puru. Likewise Puru you are not allowed to antagonize Reve if she does choose to agree to what I have offered....I'm a high ranking military commander and I sound like I'm disciplining school children." Jason said as he laughed to himself understanding the ridiculous nature of what he just said and how he had shifted from philosophical soldier to middle school teacher in less than a moment's notice."Also medical bay access without clearance and the same goes for the bridge..." Jason said all to seriously as Puru mumbled that she'd do as Jason asked.
