Ranna Krannok<br/>Onboard Bastion<br/>Crew Mess Hall<br/>(http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j77/wulfjaeger/black_widow_png_by_sasha2000dog-d52srzs.png)<br/><hr/><br/><em>"Correction, Ranna.  I do not drive, but pilot a Spider, because that is the mech that has been assigned to me, and I will do so in a manner that accentuates its strengths and hides its weaknesses.  Furthermore, I have piloted all classes of mechs.  And in case you have not noticed, running and hiding does not exactly kill battle armor.  Perhaps you should follow your own advice... and 'shut up' this 'fuck' you speak of... instead of making unwarranted, erroneous judgments, against which I will speak out always."</em><br/><br/>Ranna was glad she had not thought it necessary to carry her sidearm on board the Bastion since they left the planet, she realized that there would be one less Kuritian Mechwarrior in the world had he made comments such as that while she was armed.  Instead she simply listened as the remainder of the Company tore into the pompous snake, a wicked smile on her face realizing that should Hiro find himself in trouble on the battlefield, there is a slowly growing likelyhood help will come too late.<br/><br/>Yamina's defense of Hiro didn't help the mood in the room and only caused Ranna to roll her eyes in disgust.  She was glad for the fact that a few of her mentor's in the Dragoon's had enough sense to teach her to pick her battles carefully.  She knew a war of words with Hiro would accomplish nothing, the fact that he was still just as pompous after more than one person had berated him showed the futility of verbal attacks.  Ranna took comfort in the fact that a Spider battlemech was small and couldn't take much damage.<br/><br/>She waited until Hiro left the room before she spoke again.  "Let it go Alroy, nothing you say will convince him to be less of an asshole.  I certainly hope he doesn't get boxed into a corner on the next mission."<br/>
