He was never going to live it up. As he sat there on his own end of the table he couldn't do anything but sink lower and lower in his seat. He felt like a teen again. The adults were talking over his head. Talking about him as if he wasn't even there. It was just one after another, everyone had opinions and none were the slightest bit good. He screwed it up, sure. But he also landed every shot of laser and plasma. He had taken next to no damage, more than could be said about most in the company. He had taken down that Blade fair, blasted those tanks into submission and sent the infantry running. He had done some good things, right? Yet they were turning those things into...<br/><br/>He squirmed a little in his seat, wanting to speak up but not daring to. He didn't want to sound like an petulant kid. He wanted to defend himself but didn't know how. He was feeling nauseated again. For God's sake he didn't even have a say on what his Mech was carrying anymore. He had no idea of what it would look like when he came back. Would he at least get to keep the plasma rifle? Please God don't take that away! As a matter of fact, don't take anything away! It was balanced just the way he knew how to use it. He just needed to learn some teamwork, right? He could do that. This wasn't an agreement, it was... an order. And he had to take it.<br/><br/>As the meeting came to an end he was already wondering if he could find new work on Galatea. Anything to preserve his Sho't the way he knew it. They way it had always been. He swallowed hard as Kari asked if anyone else had anything to add. He wanted to. But he couldn't. He was still in debt to her father. He was still in debt to her.<br/><br/><em>Fiddlesticks.</em>
