Keeping ahead of the others for the entire trip home, Baxter didn't even wait long enough for them to catch up to him in the hangar. For one thing, he didn't know if any of them had seen him pull the gun on William (aside from William himself, obviously), or if they had seen him start to raise his sword against Gundam 01 even before that. But that wasn't his real issue. After the atrocity they had just been forced to commit in the name of destroying some research they weren't even sure was there, he needed to get some solitude, cool his head, and give some good, hard thought toward his future with the Federation. He was only here to ensure that Zeon didn't bring any more innocent death and oppression, so it was going to be a long time before he could fully trust the Earth government again, if ever.<br/><br/>The pilot walked all the way back to the barracks without changing out of his combat suit, sitting on his bed and pulling out his notebook to distract himself with. In the heat of the moment, he hadn't really even seen much of his enemies, let alone learned much about them, but he saw some things about his allies that were worth writing down: Isabel's rage  and assault against one unit in particular (a black Gouf, a unit he quickly realized he recognized...), Makoto's struggle to bargain with the enemies and try to bring peace and order to the bad situation, and, of course, whatever there was to say about their Captain. He never thought his first mission here could go so bad.
