Theodore gave Terra's proposal a few moments of thought, analyzing the costs and benefits of it. The costs? Making it look like she was being singled out for special treatment, thus alienating many of the International Volunteers and others of Haven's forces. It would also undermine Field-Captain Philips' legitimacy among the ones remaining in his squad. The benefits? What she said; a relatively safe environment for defectors in their transition to Haven's service. So the General Commander of Haven began looking for solutions to square the circle and gain the benefits of both Field-Captain Philips retaining his legitimacy and Terra getting her squad.

A faint smile as the answer slipped into his mind. "Field-Captain Philips is the current leader of the International Volunteers, but he has already proposed a change to the organizational structure that can be used as a testing ground for your idea. And by that, he's ordered the Volunteers to split into groups of three for easier coordination. You will lead one of those groups while Cody will lead another; your group will be comprised of you, Hisako, and Kyexun, while Cody, TABRIS - who had defected for his sake - and our most recent arrival, Anna Mustang, are part of the second group. Perform well and your proposal can be implemented in full."

He turned to the rest of the able pilots, "You and Field-Captain Philips can decide how to group yourselves."
