Ari remained quiet as everyone made their opinions known. She was a bit surprised by the fact that most wanted to leave the island, but on second thought. It wasn't as much of a surprise as there wasn't really any reason to justify their staying here. Really, in truth only one ship could have been left for guard duty even from the outset. Ari then noticed a direct link request from Mizuki. Well, actually it was to the flagship, but since Ari was the last acting Flagship, she accepted the request. She offered an idea that was quite appealing to Ari. It would truly satisfy both issues, but there were problems with it too. "Thank you very much for your suggestion Mizuki, but I fear what you may find, and I couldn't live with it if something were to happen to you because of us." Ari replied with a soft warm tone, and smile. She was happy that someone on the outside seemed to take them into consideration, even if it was a small destroyer.<br/><br/>Turning back to the Fleet, Ari took a deep breath. "It would appear that it has been decided that we're to abandon the Island and investigate this occurrence. So I would like you all to take on as much of the Nano material as possible before we set out. I want to reduce this island's strategic importance as much as possible before we leave." She stated calmly, adjourning the meeting before she would steam back towards the Island. In route, Arizona started to make a small army of Mini-Ari's to gather up the Nano-materials. The Stockpile upon the island was quite huge. So the ships would have plenty of resources to counteract whatever they would find.
