Makoto nodded his head. "Yeah it is kinda important as it does pertain to you." he said as he led the other pilot towards the back of the shooting range well outside of earshot of anyone who could hear them. "I wanted to talk with you about what happened earlier in the battle." he said taking breath before what he had to say. "What I wanted to tell you is that you are lucky to be alive right now. I saw you raise your saber on the Captain's unit and if you had stabbed down my next shot would have cored your cockpit with my next shot. That's to say if your unit survived the detonation of the Captain's mobile suite. Which by the way would have killed every single person who still had some chance of living after what happened. Now I'm not going to sugar coat things, yes people die in war. But what happened here today was nothing short of the mass slaughter of non-combatents and should never be consider a victory. Also what happened was not the Captain's fault, nor was it the base commander's fault. Neither of them were told the truth of what was on the ship. Which means it's someone further up the chain of command that made that call. When I took my oath as a soldier of the Federation, I pledge to defend the ideals of what the Federation stood for, not the people who hold those offices. I'm not so deluded as the believe that the people who hold those offices are perfect human beings, far from it actaully, but they are there still the same. But I am a soldier who pledge his life to defending it which means I have to follow orders until one comes along that violates my conciesne."<br/><br/>"Now our jobs as soliders is to destroy the enemy and come home alive. It doesn't matter who the enemy is, be they foreign or domestic. Our charge is defeat them and come home alive." he said taking another breath. "Whoever gave that order now consitutes an enemy to be destroyed. Now if you find out who gave that order and you want help in bringing them down then I don't mind giving you a hand. Hell I'd more then likely if I found them in my sites to assume pull the trigger and end it." Makoto said to him taking another breath. It was plain to see that this had gotton under Makoto's skin. "However despite what I said about helping you one thing I will not abide by is someone attacking my comrades. I'll defend them as hard as I would the ideals of the Federation." he said the steel confidence in words letting the other man know he ment every word he had said. "Now as I said before I'll leave it off the record this time, however pull a stunt like that again and I will make sure you end up where you belong." he said before walking off to re-join William and Izzy.<br/>
