<em>Suzu</em>had been quietly running diagnostics on herself when she sensed movement on<em>Ari</em>'s behalf. She noticed her sit up and begin moving about the room before giving a kiss on her forehead, a gesture that made the heavy cruiser's processors run warm before she stood up and followed her out. When she spoke about them and what they would be doing<em>Suzu</em>nodded her head as her ship form began to move towards<em>Abbey</em>. She turned her head when she heard<em>Effie</em>'s declaration. Sensing this was a moment she walked up to stand beside<em>Ari</em>. "That is why she will not be alone. As her shield I shall protect her even if...even if... it means deletion." she said stuttering a bit. It was a hard line to deliver but then again even among humans such a vow was not one made lightly. "It is a duty, that I Heavy Cruiser<em>Suzuya</em>have taken upon myself." she said walking up to<em>Effie</em>and gently laying a hand on her shoulder. "Allow me to protect her, trust in her judgment and lead our fleet to better waters my friend." she said her face looking surprising soft and serene. Like she had found her purpose in life. It was quite a bit different than what they normally stern and stoic<em>Suzuya</em>they had come to know.
