Will's attempt to lessen the tension for the entire team seemed to have failed, and Failed miserably. Seeing that dark expression on Isabel's face instead of that rather neutral one she usually wore gave him the impression that all the work he had done to get her out of her shelf was also washed away in this one huge Cluster-Fuck. It made him angry, and frustrated. Like everyone was blaming him for it. How the fuck was he suppose to know!? He was only going on the intelligence, and orders he was given. Just like any other soldier in this ass backwards war.<br/><br/>------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Meanwhile, in the Zeon camp. the Mood was heavy. Many felt angered at the sheer criminal act of what just transpired. They wanted revenge for what happened. Many talking about a full blown assault on the Federation base, and the words; "No Quarter" were being thrown around eagerly. A blood haze seemed to hang in the air as the people worked for the inevitable counterattack they felt was coming. Mobile suits were repaired, and Rearmed. Some with the Zeon's heaviest weaponry. In the Base's OR, surgeons were working to removed the burnt on clothing on one little girl. Little Lucille breathing shallowly as she lay on the operating table.<br/><br/>Acar was inspecting this troops from a high catwalk overlooking the hanger. The corners of his mouth turned up in an satisfied smirk. "The Federation has sealed their fate. There is no way the Zeon nation will settle for anything less than the complete annihilation of the Federation and everyone upon the Earth." He chuckled as he could imagine more Colony drop operations like the one that destroy the western coast of Australia. The flames of war will continue to burn, and scorch the Earth clean of the Filth that inhabits it. Then, Acar can once again claim the birthright that was stole from his family by the federation so many years ago. "Sir, I have prepared the press conference, and Communications state they can hack the global Communications network. That way you can deliver the news tonight to the entire world, and Space." Acar's aid spoke as he produced a manila folder with a short speech. "The pictures that were taken will also be put on display." He continued. "Excellent, Lt." Acar said as he flipped through the notes. "What about the Camera footage?" Acar asked. "It has been "Properly" edited, Sir." The Aid stated. Acar gave a satisfied growl.<br/><br/>Julia walked around the lower hangers a bit. Organizing her work teams to be as effective as possible. However, some of the things she has been hearing were scaring her. Some of the pilots were talking about what they would do to any feddy personnel once they get their hands upon them. Particularly those responsible the downing of the Spacecraft. While she had no concrete evidence, she had a feeling her Mike was part of the Federation. Her hand came up to something that was hanging around her neck. As she climbed up onto the Upper catwalk to the offices, She saw Acar. Granted, it was a long shot, but perhaps if she reasoned with him. He could get the base back under control. "E-excuse me Colonel." Julia called. Acar turned to her as he dismissed his aide. "Yes?" He asked as he looked upon the large woman before him. "Don't you think this is all a bit excessive?  I am hearing the pilots talking about torturing any feddy people they get their Hands on." Julia stated. "Really? That is excellent news." Acar stated. "Excellent!? These are human beings!" Julia exclaimed. "HUMAN!? How can a human shoot a hospital ship out of the sky!? Acar fired back. "What if they didn't know. The Ship was not marked or anything." Julia offered. "Is that treason I am hearing from you, Tech Specialist Rinehart?" Acar growled as he stalked closely to Julia. Julia began to back up as she saw the look in Acar's eyes and remembered previous incidents of "accidents". "N-No Sir, but..."<br/><br/>It was all Julia got out before Acar grabbed her by her coveralls, and pushed her against the railing of the catwalk. It would seem that Julia's tall stature would be her biggest advantage. She clawed at Acar's wrists and hands to try and prevent her going over, but her hands were still covered in grease. Which had them slipping out. Julia's eyes grew wide as she felt the pull of gravity. Acar had a look of Grim satisfaction. Time seemed to slow down for Julia as her life flashed before her eyes. Her parents, Her siblings. Her friends. Everyone, and everything seemingly culminating to one point. As she fell, small glint of light caught her attention. It was something that was dangling at the end of chain, a Diamond Ring. Julia's mind flashed back to that night at the Blue Moon. Her, and Mike dancing to the soft music of the blues. "Julia...would you marry me?" He asked as they danced. The happiness she felt at the moment. Julia felt a tear well up in the corner of her eye as she clamped them shut. "I am sorry Mike." She thought right before Blackness.<br/><br/>Julia's body slammed hard into the permacrete floor 10 stories below the catwalk that she and Acar were just on.  Her body made a bone crunching "whump". The others gathered around the body as dark crimson began to spread from her lifeless corpse. They looked up at Acar. "ANYONE ESPOUSING LENIENCY TO ANY FEDDY IS A TRAITOR TO THE ZEON CAUSE. A TRAITOR TO THOSE THAT WERE SLAUGHTERED TODAY IN COLD BLOOD!" Acar declared to the mass below. "HAIL ZEON!" Was the the response he gotten in return, and the response he wanted. "Now, get that trash where it belongs!" he ordered. Several of the tech began to clean up the remains as they took little notice of Julia clutching something in her hand, a tiny engagement ring.<br/><br/>------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>William glared at Isabel. He felt his entire team was now in shambles. "Oh, and is it going to happen like the last one?" William asked as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Have you forgotten that you nearly died then? You would have not made it out alive in the great rift if it weren't for your team looking out for you." He stated. Deliberately withholding the fact that he was the one that saved her. "We are a team, Sargent. That means we work together, and look out for each other. Your quest for revenge may not just get you killed, but other members of this team! Perhaps you need to think on that! this isn't back then. You have us to help you." He stated sternly. William saw Baxter approaching, and could only guess what he wanted. "As for those questions, how bout you ask them now. Here, in front of everyone. I won't hold anything back. Hell, I'll tell you exactly what the Colonel told me when I reported to Her." William said loudly enough for everyone to hear. He paused a moment to get his emotions under control.<br/><br/>"Nothing. She said nothing. She was so in shock over the truth that there wasn't anything she could say." He stated looking around at everyone. "Once she able to speak again. She said that all she knew was that the ship was carrying Dangerous information, and remnants of the armor on board. Whether that is truth or not doesn't mean shit. This is nothing more than the Sinking of the Lusitania all over again." He finished. Referring to WWI, when the Passenger liner the<em>Lusitania</em>was sunk by German submarines. While it was later discovered that the Ship was carrying weapons across the Atlantic, which was warned against by the Germans. That mattered little at the time cause of the causalities. Which hastened America's involvement in the War.
