[b][i]NCQ - Epilogue[/i][/b]

Darwin was saved. Theodore had his Pilots to thank for them, but the complications that had arisen took some of the sweetness out of his victory - Said complications were that his victory was due to Red-Star's dysfunction than Haven's capabilities. And even Red-Star can address their own dysfunction if humiliated enough. Australia was safe from the MegaCorps' onslaught, but for how long? He had to admit it - This state of things only lasted so long because the MegaCorps had lost some of their savviness.

But for now, it didn't matter. They had won and Haven and the International Volunteers lived to fight another day.

-------

Alexander was safe. Alexander was healthy. Alexander was prepared to leave the life of torment he once lived behind him, Mako at his side. But as he sat on a chair in Joey Glory's cafe - access to that was a privilege granted him by his status as a Havenite Intelligence asset - he felt as though he wanted to stop fighting. He was just... Tired, he guessed. Tired of all the pain and suffering.

But he knew that even if Theodore might allow it, retirement would be cowardice. So he will keep on going. At least the 'International Volunteers' were getting rewarded - He heard that Theo was personally handing them their promised monetary rewards and various military honors.

Perhaps he can catch up with Terra after this ceremony was over...
