Arizona made no outward motion that suggested she heard Suzu's concerns, yet she shared them. Something was not right. Why would their Flagship chose to remain anonymous? Wouldn't it been better to announce themselves in hopes of using recognition to gain their support. A lot of this didn't make sense. Why would their flagship want a bunch of rejects? Arizona Closed her eyes, and took a deep breath as if she was thinking, even though she already knew her answer. After a moment, she opened them again. "My apologies Howe, but we can not accept your Flagship's invitation. My Fleet is currently in Mission, and we can not deviate from this time. Furthermore, The<em>Greeting</em>, and your Flagship's insistence on anonymity is Highly Irregular. Please pass along our Regrets." Arizona with a diplomatic smile before turning to Suzu. "Suzuya, please come. We're must continue our mission." Arizona stated before starting to walk back towards her ship. Through a private channel, Arizona contacted Arashi. "Keep a sharp eye on them. They may try something while our backs are turned." Arizona cautioned.  Arizona then opened a direct open channel to Ellie. "The Meeting is concluded, and we are heading back. Please make everyone is ready, also Keep our "Guest" with us. Once Suzuya, and I return, we're leaving the area immediately." She stated.
