It was probably a very good thing that William was not aware of the doubts and fears of his Sniper at that moment. Among the many faults William had. One could say that "caring too much" was one of them. Had he known, he would have done everything in his power to try and help Izzy. To show her that she had nothing to fear, but perhaps this was a problem that only time and the constant loyalty and companionship of her allies would help.<br/><br/>William had no intention of abandoning his sniper or letting anyone take her away. She was as vital to the 432nd as Sam, and Himself. William stopped his Scan as he heard his radio chirp. It was a call from the Base. settling back down into his Cockpit. He put on the headset. "This is 432nd Lead. Go ahead." William stated as he sucked some more of the goop from the Packet. "Requesting Status report." The Controller called back. "We are presently  80 Kilometer from Base. Taking a break before the last leg." He reported. "Understood, Transponder confirms location. How much longer are you going to rest?" The Controller inquired. "Approxamently 10 minutes. Finishing up lunch." William answered. "Acknowledged" Was a curt reply. "Control, What is Status of Replacement for Unit 2?" He asked. "Replacement will take some time. Gundams are not easy to come by. However, we managed to procure her a GM Sniper suit until her Gundam can be replaced." The Controller answered. "Acknowledged, Thanks. We'll be heading back in 6 minutes." William stated before shedding the headset. "HEY, IZZY! I NEED TO SEE YA A MINUTE!" William shouted to the truck as he climbs down from Unit One.<br/><br/>"I just got off the horn with Home base. It is going to take some time to replace your Gundam Suit. So in the interim, You'll be piloting a GM Sniper until then" He said with a smile. Hoping it would make Izzy smile at least a little. "Don't worry about the last suit, Izzy. You're safe and alive and that is most important to me. We can always replace the suit, but you're irreplaceable. So, like it or not, you're stuck with me." He teased with a broad grin. Realizing after the fact how his words could be taken. "Er, the Team...stuck with the team." He amended sheepishly. "Man, this heat must be messing with my brain." He stated as he began to blush in embarrassment. This was the second time he said something that could be taken the wrong way. "Well, that was all I wanted to tell ya. We'll be leaving soon, so Rest up." William stated as he quickly clamored up into his cockpit.<br/><br/>Back in the truck, Jared hears Jillian's comment about the suits. "I don't know, that one Zeon suit...you know the one with the huge horns on the shoulder caps and the left hand machine gun fingers (Gouf). That suit is pretty badass. I would like to take one for a spin myself." He comments.
