There was no way Makoto could begrudge William his solutude at this moment in history. However what set Makoto's emotions to boil was the talk by the fellow pilots about they would do to guy who pulled the trigger. All this was going to end and Makoto knew he would more than likely have to spend a day or two in the stockade but he was fine with that so long as these idiots understood what they were saying. So with that in mind he stood up.<br/><br/>All conversation in the Cantina suddenly ceased when the sound of a Bren Ten semi-automatic pistol blew-out the television that was broadcasting snipitts of the anouncements that was just shown. "Now that I have your attention folks I have something I'd like to say." Makoto said as he lowered his smoking bren ten to a more level postion while his gaze settled on the guys who had been talking.  "Now will you listen to yourselves! Talking about wanting to beat up our men? Put him or her in the hospital and feel the same pain as that little girl? This is exactly what the Zekes want us to do. They want us fighting amongest ourselves so all they have to do is swoop in and kill us all!" he said before taking a breath as he raised his hand to them. "Now I am going to challange any and all of you who were out there today to come up to my face and tell me that what you just saw on that television screen was a complete truth." he said waiting a moment to see who would take the bait before he continued. "Cause if you do then I'll more than happy to call you stupid!" he said the word rolling off his tongue with as much venom and malice as he could let out. "You would be too stupid to think for even just one second with your brain on what happened out there you'll realize that half of what you just saw was a complete lie! A fabrication by a desparate people who will use any reason, any excuse to turn the Federation in on itself. So if any of you think you've got the guts to stand up here and tell me otherwise, just remember that when you star throwing those stones that you<em>will</em><em></em>get hurt, you will be cut by the falling glass of your own houses." he said before his gaze leveled on the man who had spoke about their lives getting harder. "And let me point something else out to you, to ALL of you. You want to talk about your lives getting harder, but let me enlightent you. Your Lives got harder the moment you made the decsion to walk into that Federation recruitment office. You Lives got harder the moment you took your oaths to be a Federation Soldier. You Lives got harder the moment you finished boot camp. Your Lives got harder the moment decided to become a mobile suite pilot. And lastly your Lives got harder when you were shipped to the front line. Your Lives got harder the moment you were aissigned to this particular part of the war. Your lives were<em>eaiser</em><em></em>before you made the choice to become a soldier." he said taking another breath before looking over the gathered soldiers. "Now I don't know about the rest of you but I won't stand idley by and let anyone of you torture or abuse<em>anyone</em><em></em>who you think is the man or woman who pulled that trigger today! I won't hand someone over for<em>any</em><em></em>reason to vigilantie justice ever! Is that clear!?" he said to them his generally bright purple eyes turning harder than durasteel as he stared sown each of the men and women in the Cantina.
