[quote=Garrison] Shusuke agreed with Giovanni's argument, though given the scolding he just received, he feared speaking out towards the topic again. Shusuke was aware of the history that had taken place, and their numbers had truthfully dwindled far from their previous stock but what if they were able to bolster their army. While on that mission, he did feel one spirit pressure that had promise, though they had no time to focus on it. At the very least, it's safe for now and perhaps if the head captain spares them, they could gather others like that and rebuild their force slowly but surely.

Shinji began work on his paperwork and waited for the two to leave, they would likely be asking questions all day which was fair but it seemed as if they were questioning his leadership skills...so he wanted them to leave before they said something that would hit a nerve (12 points for the mission)
