Jillian would simply shake her head and lean in to give her fellow ace a small flick on the forehead. "Stop being so thick and just say you'll join up already, okay! I mean, would your old allies really want you sulking around and wishing that you had joined them? No way, I bet they'd want to see you tearing it up against the feddies and making them smile even in the afterlife. And, in my humble opinion, the best way for you to do such a thing would be to hop in with a team that you already obviously work pretty well with!" She grinned gently. "I was supposed to just be a temporary addition to the fast response team while they found a home for me, but I absolutely fell in love with the group and now I don't ever wanna leave. Do you have<em>any idea</em>how awesome it is to just go out and actually get stuff done? How much do you wanna bet that if you were main force you'd still be hearing about battle formations and strategic bullshit that nobody cares about?"<br/><br/>Obviously, the redhead wasn't quite familiar with how to take 'no' for an answer.<br/><br/>..................................................................................................<br/><br/>Isabel would open her mouth as though intending to speak, before she simply shrunk back down and nodded. She simply didn't have the energy to try and argue with her fellow Gundam pilot at the moment, and instead she decided to simply follow him to where ever it was that he planned on leading her. Since she typically only traveled between the HQ, her barracks, and the paddocks of the Mobile suits, she didn't really get around the actual camp all that much. That was partially due to the fact that she liked her own privacy and didn't have much to say to others on a regular basis, and and partially due to the fact that she heard a few of the main pilots referring to her as a 'spook'... What they meant with their slang was, of course, a mystery to Isabel.<br/><br/>She didn't feel the need to say anything on the way there, not unless Sam kept the questions up while they were walking.<br/><br/>...................................................................................................<br/><br/>Whenever it was that William decided to pay a visit to engineering on the paddocks, the head engineer would turn around and speak to him. "Oh, hey there squad leader. Your 02 came by today, actually said something to me if you can believe that. If you remember that Gouf sword she brought with her back to camp, she asked if we would be able to make it retractable and attach it to her wrist for quick and easy use. Since you're her boss, the final authorization of this bootleg little weapon installation of ours falls on your head, so, what do you say?"<br/><br/>Making such a weapon mod would prove to be a pretty difficult challenge for the engineering team. Maybe that was why the head engineer seemed so excited to get William's approval so that he could grab a wrench and get to problem solving.
