True he wasn't technically getting paid anymore but he stayed for a few different reasons. The first reason that Ryotaro was still here was because of the pilots. Anyone who assumes this means he actually cares about the pilots and is staying to help them out is only partially correct. He does care about them but mostly for ulterior motives. The second reason he was still here was because of the Machina he had worked so hard to maintain he just wasn't going to ditch them now. The third and final reason is that he really didn't feel like dealing with the Americans pushing him around or possibly even just outright killing him.<br/><br/>He was playing billiards while watching Kumiko through the corner of his eye as she watched the news. When she took a swig out of her water bottle and choked up he couldn't help but chuckle. She then went dashing out of the room and off to gods knew where as far as he knew. It wasn't long later that she went rushing by and made her announcement over the intercom. The engineer sighed and made his way towards the armory to grab himself some kind of weapon.<br/><br/>When he went to the armory he looked around and casually picked up an assault rifle, some flash grenades, a few real grenades, and a handgun before making his way back upstairs. There he saw Kumiko and Maki waiting by the main entrance. He moved along to join Raiden up on the catwalk. He settled himself a bit to the right of the door where it would take anyone coming in some time to notice him when he opened fire. He called down "Hey Ladies I'm up here watchin too"<br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i56.servimg.com/u/f56/12/03/45/77/aa000510.jpg)</div><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td> || </td><td>Aizawa Shion</td></tr><tr><td>Location</td><td> || </td><td>Gym--&gt;armory--&gt;entry way</td></tr><tr><td>Tagging</td><td> || </td><td>Kumiko, Maki, Raiden, open</td></tr></tbody></table><br/><hr/><br/>Shion was in the gym practicing some katas for her martial arts. She moved slowly and deliberately each motion meant to hone both muscle and mind. Her breath was calm, slow, and seemed to flow with each motion of her limbs. Having trained in martial arts since she was little she liked to keep up her training. She much like Raiden had a bit of a sweat going which in a certain light caused her skin to glisten. She was quite relaxed and moving in a slow rhythmic dance.<br/><br/>It wasn't long later that she would hear Kumiko's announcement and would swiftly swing herself out of her kata and rush for the armory. She wasn't going to let herself get caught off guard. When she got to the armory she looked through everything being sure to grab a few belts with handguns, several flash grenades and a few knives before making her way back to the main lobby. She wanted to be ready for whatever happened. She did wonder though why these mechs would be so close to their not so little residence. "I'm here" she remarked as she moved off to the opposite side of the door from Kumiko.
