Paul looked at the screen with a deeply depressed look on his face. He was glad Gabriel held his own and he didn't get wiped out all the same it was hard to lose yet another wing man. Especially one who was as knowledgeable in the newtype condition as he was. Granted Paul may be different due to his...particularly different circumstances he already knew how to cope with losing people. Jason had taught him that people died in war and though you shouldn't forget them you needed to move on. Gabriel for the past week had proved a stalwart companion to Paul Lyons. He would hope that if there was a god in this realm that Gabriel was there with him. The cameras miraculously were able to catch all of it so it was clear that the Titans were a version of OMNI from a different time line if what previous knowledge was correct. Though this Paptimus fellow seemed...wrong. He wasn't Jason Hiyan, he wasn't Angelo, and he wasn't anyone else Paul could think of. This man was brutal and efficient and a master pilot. He was also a newtype. All the more frightening was the fact he had so casually brushed aside Gundam X. Paul had to wonder...was his Omega Squad out there somewhere in the same situation. He had not thought about them because he knew they were tough bastards. All the same if people like that existed...[color=0072bc]"So what now Captain? Do we go back to the Twilight Citadel after we confront Miss Mariemaia?"[/color] Paul asked as Jason turned around and looked at Hiling who was staring at the screen with an interested expression on her face as she smiled. [color=39b54a]"Twilight Citadel?"[/color] Hiling asked simply as Jason nodded simply. [color=f26522]"It's what we're calling our main base. We're keeping some of our soldiers there studying the area. I intended to tell the others what we've found out but it seems we're alone. All the same...Miss Hiling thank you for joining our team and I hope you don't mind us studying your suit. It's different from our own and we need to know how it works to help keep it up with maintenance work."[/color] Jason said to Hiling Care professionally without a hint of malice as she turned to him and frowned for a bit before shrugging. [color=8dc73f]"I don't like it but I'm no technician. Do what you need to do Captain. Just don't mess around with it too much. Also if I may make a request of you and Lieutenant Black Star?"[/color] Hiling asked the two commanders as Paul nodded and Jason gave his permission to speak, [color=8dc73f]"I'd like to be place in a group with the Celestial Being pilots here. However it seems they have a dislike for me. So until they can get over their dislike of me I request that I join Lieutenant Black Star's group. I don't like Celestial Being however they're troublesome and I believe I can handle them if they...misbehave."[/color] Hiling said simply with pride in her voice making it clear that she KNEW she could take on Nena and Reve if they asked her too. Paul looked at his feet and sighed. [color=0072bc]"I wouldn't mind, all the same we don't usually form groups with allies. And with the squad I usually order around missing in action I am assigned to where I'm needed the most."[/color] Paul admitted bluntly as Jason considered the thought for a moment before responding, [color=f26522]"I'll consider it. For now please go to your room. I'll have a guard escort you there."[/color] Jason said as Hiling nodded and promptly got up and left the room. The soldier outside of it was told to show Hiling to her room which was once occupied by one of Paul's Omega Squad. Jason didn't want to put her with anyone else just yet. He'd see how things worked out.
