Not crying just yet... but close to it

[Denzel: dead.  Setsuko, Toby, and who knows how many ESUN pilots: anywhere in all of existence and most likely dead too.  Not to mention whatever they'd gone to La Gias and were trying to recover was up in so much metaphorical smoke on top of everything else.  Be it with anger or sadness or something else, everyone's not going to be at 100% after that clusterfuck of a clusterfuck.  Selena and Albhard are making due with hitting the bar to drown their sorrows.]

... And Shu's gone too.  Can't imagine how that reflects on us as his handlers.  Can't say I'm looking forward to reassignment if it happens... not when there's still the mystery regarding all of that Aerogator intel now.  Though they could just cut us loose entirely... or even take it out on the Captain.



Only positive thing a report would say is just that we didn't all die down there.  Though now that Shu's just... out there...  So much for ever telling him about Jessica.

[A moment of silence passes before Albhard gestures over at the bartender.]

And at the very least, Denzel deserves at least a little something as tribute.

(You there with them?  Coming in?  Up to you!)

Care for some company this evening. The rest of the flight is getting their units re-calibrated but the second took more of a beating and needs a bit more time.

Funny how when you're forced to downtime it's never enjoyable. Especially not after what happened out there.

[After getting his drink he raises it towards the pair of pilots.]

For Denzel, and to hope that the others are found safely.

... Beats being thrown into a firefight when we're like this.

[The other two drinks join with Yuuya's, and a moment afterwards Selena and Albhard both take a glulp down.]

It'd be easier if there were some sort of common trend where Setsuko would reappear whenever she teleported. No such luck this time though.

We've got enough units to sortie even without the ACTVs and the Shiranui Second. Of course the ACTVs weren't that bad off so they're up and running again but I guess Lt. Takamura is worried about sending a training unit up against the enemies we fight.

As for Setsuko I'm sure she'll turn up fine but I'm worried about having her pilot again when she does return. She was so close to quitting before the last mission and she's the type to blame herself for what happened despite everyone else failing to do any better.
