[color=00a651]"So you don't want to interact with those guys either?"[/color] came a somewhat familiar voice from behind Sarah. The voice belonged to the pilot of the mobile suit Airmaster, Witz Sou, the pilot responsible for keeping Mariemaia's base well scouted and safe. While Kenta kept Mariemaia's troops in line as a clear sign of authority among them due to them missing their own commander Witz provided more conventional combat services. He hadn't really bonded too well with the members of Mariemaia's Army but he did his job well which was something no one could complain about despite his distrusting attitude. He saw down next to Sarah and looked over at her. [color=00a651]"For what it's worth I wouldn't blame you. I mean they could've gotten your brother killed. And the fact that they're military doesn't help. I mean I've seen what they can do that Kenta guy is really a cold hearted murderer. He sees an objective and he goes for it."[/color] Witz commented further as he took a sip from a glass of water in his hand. [color=00a651]"And the rest of his buddies? They pretty much shoved all of those POWs onto us. Doesn't do well for food and some of those people were from Earth too so I'm not exactly sure where their loyalties are exactly. Not that Mariemaia's a good deal either."[/color] grumbled Witz.

The whole of Mariemaia's Army was delighted to see Rayburn back if not simply for the fact that there were no enemies. A few of the soldiers around the base admired the man's strong work ethic and they found his transformable suit too be really interesting. The engineers down below shouted that they'd get too work on the Zeta in a bit. However none of the 'engineers' there were actually engineers more so soldiers with qualified experience of fixing mobile suits. The soldiers inside of Mariemaia's Army were well trained but most of them were purely career soldiers leaving much to the fact that they were trained to fight with Treize Khushrenada's forces against the White Fang. Some of them were purely soldiers whom had served under Mariemaia but they were much fewer and far between. Kenta had a few soldiers of his own there but they hardly made up even a minor fraction of Mariemaia's Army. One of the soldiers, a man in a white uniform called Ryo Kabashi, whom was the overall head of the Mariemaia's forces here, just above the more cunning Kenta, and the most veteran of them walked up to Roberts and nodded at him. [b]"It's good to have you back in one piece Roberts. As you can see the OMNI Ship Sundown has arrived and some of it's folks are around here. There have been two people here talking to the troops. One of them is a little girl who likes to talk a lot. She's a sweet thing though and doesn't mean much harm. Looks like a little girl but according to the OMNI Staff she's a brutal and skilled pilot. I don't see it personally."[/b] Ryo said as he looked over to some of his men who called over to him to ask a question about the Serpents. Apparently one of them had a jammed weapon and they were fixing it. He gave a few curt replies before turning back to Ryo. [b]"Sorry about that. Repairs and all today you know that the younger kids can't do shit without someone babying them. Anyways the other is-"[/b] Ryo started to say as suddenly there was a whistle from down below and there stood a man in a blue uniform different from all the others there. The blonde haired man was smiling and looking up at the suit. [color=00aeef]"That's a pretty suit you got there! Who's the pilot? I'd like to talk with him if you don't mind."[/color] the man said. The individual in question was in fact the OMNI Ally Graham Aker of the American Union Faction. He was a stalwart ally of the Sundown crew. Many of the people in Mariemaia's Army didn't know him by name but they did know that he was talented and a bit of a blowhard.
