[color=82ca9d][b][h2] Mema-Ka [/h2][/b][/color] Zel-Ghin had remained quiet when Lorenzo spoke, save for a couple of well placed 'Hmphs', his eyes only narrowing when he heard how Lorenzo commented on his own and his brother's performance. Mema-Ka on the other hand watched the debriefing with a facial expression of indifference, taking mental notes of Lorenzo's input on each pilot, before offering a golf-like clap to Astolfo and Ava being gazetted, followed by a salute as he stood in place, then slowly turning around to face Lorenzo after witnessing and hearing Griff's outburst, waiting until there was a moment of silence before speaking himself. [color=82ca9d][b]"Executive Officer, I did receive an order by Cadet Briars who was our designated squad leader to support the Logic Diver. Are you saying that orders are to be disregarded in battle based on personal opinion of said order? My reasonings for confronting the Cockroach in it's merged state was because of various factors. One being that my mobility with my machine was so hampered by carrying the Logic Diver, I could not get to the Argent with it still carried, neither could my sensors pick up the Guinevere, therefor leaving Logic Diver behind were the only option which would not lead to a hundred percentage chance of destruction of both framewerks in an open field, and potentially leave the Horst to face down three adversaries at the same time. The Argent Wings were damaged, a lightweight frame much like the Guinevere, however the Squid or what remained of it is a heavily fortified piece and installed into it's quadruple legs be the rocket hammers, allowing itself to either slam into or drill it's way into an enemy frame, which could inflict devastating damage upon the Horst. The Logic Diver also lack the ranged firepower to take it down on it's own. Using my already damaged frame as a weapon, which is what it is, which is what we all are to be fair, regardless of material or species, to achieve victory must be the primary objective at all times. Isn't that why we are here? To make sure this conflict that has plagued us for so long is put to a swift end? The Raptor, my partner is prepared to make the offering, as am I. Would the time and moment present itself, for the tomorrow we are all striving to reach. It does not mean I encourage others to throw their lives away for nothing, but for something. If they have to."[/b][/color] Mema-Ka looked to Lorenzo and gave a soft smile, his purple eyes landing on the older man. [color=82ca9d][i]'I wonder what game you are playing Lorenzo. You and that small Lilim by your side. What is your stake in this conflict of species, what has made you come all this way? To struggle through life. Revenge? Hatred? The desire to protect? Or perhaps one or several of these pilots are the key... to something you have created or plan to create. A weapon perhaps? To end everything at long last? It does sound like the doorway to the promised land...now doesn't it? Nothing would be more desired.'[/i][/color]
