Catrina sighed, she loathed to pull rank on people but unless she found out what was going on Lucille could be in danger, and now that Jillian had left her, she was the only person on this base that Lucille could count on, the thoughts of the time they spent with eachother, to how she was now was heartbreaking, neither the Zeon forces, or the Federation, or No-town, nobody could be trusted with Lucilles wellbeing, it was a sad state of affairs, and the words of Jillian kept plaguing her mind, was she really doubting deception and a threat to Lucille from her own side? She just didn't know, but the one thing she did know, she would do everything to protect her, she would not allow anyone to harm her.<br/><br/>"Very well Rachel, since you seem to not want to tell me what's going on, I geuss I'll have to take a extended leave due to exhaustion so I will not be battlefield ready, many lives will be put at risk without my expertise, but I just cannot leave Lucille in her current state, and will need to devote the entirity of my time to her care, since the medical staff are being unwilling to explain the situation to me as is my right as she is in my care, I do not want to put you out, but it will be bad on all of us if it was to get out that Lucille Zabi Washburn was suffering some kind of maltreatment that could have been avoided if the proper athority was kept involved, let alone due to one ace going rogue, the other needing to take an extended leave will hurt moral of the troops. But I geuss it cannot be avoided, you know scedules and all that."<br/><br/>lately, even Catrina had to admit that the way things were is becoming increasingly suspitious, and for someone as loyal as she was to Zeon to feel this way, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, she couldn't rely on anyone now, she was alone, the only thing in this entire base that cared for Lucille over her own neck.
