There was a strange sort of look on Gale's face - it was almost a smile of triumph somehow, though it flickered and disappeared before anyone could really grasp at it. Jinhai made a soft, irritated noise inside of his head as Gale's eyes moved to rest on Eva again, his hand absently twisting the strap of his sling.
"Come on," he said, and reached out to take her by the hand, tugging her in the direction of the door. Briefly his gaze moved towards Ryan and Kat, pressing his lips together. As he moved past them, he reached out and gave Ryan's shoulder a light pat, and though he said nothing, he gave him a small nod.
"We have to go," he said quietly to Eva, dropping his hand. As much as he wanted to stay and defend Ryan and Kat, there was nothing either of them could say that would help at this point.

Melvin sat where he was, listening. When Harrison lectured him, he listened, but he still crossed his arms. "Even the military can be questioned." He told him, and stuck to his own opinion. He didn't like how this had been presented, and how Caelius had treated everything. Maybe he was just showing how green his horns really were in front of Harrison and the others, but he had a strong opinion on matters that meant life and death.

As Ofie approached him, he glanced at the redhead before refocusing on Ryan and Kat. Wilson was determined to “correct” that report, but right now there was something even more important to him. Others left, but he made no move to leave yet.

Without a word, Mimsy rose from her place at the table, still holding the pencil she used for her report, and turned to walk briskly from the room. She didn't catch anyone's gaze. She didn't wait for anyone. Not even Kostya. (Especially not Kostya, nagged a Svensyl-less part of her mind.)
Compassion was weakness. The room reeked of emotionally clouded decisions and frail minds. She refused to let herself be surrounded by such nonsense.
Her clenched fist snapped the pencil in half as she stepped through the doorway.

Cass looked up at Deryk and Jude, offering both boys a smile. "I'd love the help." she consented. "I mean, if we can move the Meat Wall. Probably should get him to the infirmary to make sure nothing too serious happened."
She'd have to make sure to leave him a note saying what the end result of everything that had happened was, as the last thing the base needed was Robeart rampaging because Caelius pissed him off. Caelius pissed everybody off. That was his official title. 'Pisser-off of people'.
Said it on a plaque outside of his office.

Ofelia stayed with Wilson because, well, they were together for the next twenty-four hours. His life, her life, they depended on one another because she opened her mouth and said something. It didn't matter, there were plenty of things a person could do in twenty-four hours, and maybe for once she'd get to have a once-in-a-lifetime chance happen.
Maybe it meant she'd do something different?
Or maybe she'd just die.

Jude rubbed his hands together, "Deryk and I will get his feet and since you already got the head...Think you can take care of the shoulders? Team effort and all."
It was almost disturbing. He was smiling.
Nio Love It is Robert's carcass after all.

The only thing he really got out of this meeting was that everyone was ******* idiots.
Pushing away from the table, Jake got up, shoved his hands in his pockets and left.
This wasn't his problem to deal with, and he had better things to do.

There was a bit of a bitter smile on his face at the mention of his status. "Indeed sir. Moons are not of the brightest sort. Still, thank you for your answers. I'll be more aware of them in the future."
His face went to impassive, simply accepting. They had done some, they had tried, and in the end? In the end he supposed it was all he or anyone could do.

Still silent, Sherry rose to leave. She needed to think about this. She knew some of the folks that had been named. She just...didn't know what to make of the whole situation.
She just wanted to get out of that room. Find a nice quiet spot to sit and think, to sit and hope. Things would work out in the end, wouldn't they?

She let herself be led towards the door, her heartbeat picking up as they neared Ryan and Kat. Just what was it that Caelius intended on doing to the two of them? The rest of them had gotten a second chance--would they as well? A part of Eva wanted to hang back and stand in defense of the two, but Caelius had obviously called them after dismissing everyone else for a reason. He would probably be quite displeased if she were to interfere, especially since she was already walking on eggshells, and with Gale having volunteered for her...
As they passed, Eva gently touched her fingers to Ryan's shoulder, and reached out to give Kat's fingers a light, passing squeeze. She didn't really know either of them--not that well, to be sure--but they were good, loyal people. That much she was certain of. She offered them both a small smile, and then left the room with Gale. Time to write up some mission reports.

Solia gave a shudder. It was all a bit grim for her. Too grim. Shoulders slumping she looked towards the one who answered in French earlier. Mouth open ready to say something, then closing. It wasn't the time. Shaking her head, Solia sighed as she listened to the song Israfel had begun to sing in her head. One emotion coming from the siren she didn't quite understand.
Disillusionment.

Nodding weakly to Cass, Deryk grabbed a foot just as Jude said. Grimacing, he started to try and hoist the guy up.
Damn, why did Robert have to be such a giant?
He might have whined about it, but it just wasn't in him right now.

The Death lead didn't wait for everyone to vacate. They might as well have stopped existing at that very moment when they had proved only what he already knew about them. "Katherine. Your weapon."
There was no mistaking exactly what he meant.

Glancing at the few people stopped by them on there way out, Kat simply gave them a nod and smile. They had problems of their own to worry about, then to fret over her and Ryan at the moment. She was just happy they were getting another chance. Ryan and herself, on the other hand.. that was yet to be determined.
A little relieved to see Wilson and Ofie stick around, she cringed when her name was called again, followed by the expected words. Standing from her seat, she summoned the weapons, narrowing her gaze at the death lead, so very tempted to shoot the b*****d. Sorry, Xedis.. Instead she dropped them on the table in front of him.
He wasn't worth it.
