The Meeting at the Pier

[Kira Yamato]

Kira looked at Shinya and then at Eric. Those were good question he asked. In both occassions Earth Alliance mobile suits were spotted.

[Eric R. Takemura]

Eric looked at Shinya and answered his question. "I came to ORB to see what family I have left here, and I was testing how well my team would work together since they came to my unit."

[Sven Cal Bayan]

Sven remained silent as he let Eric do the talking. Although he knew some of his statements were false, he let Eric speak for the rest of the team.

[Akitsuki Yamato]

"I understand about visiting family, but why conduct the exercise close to ORB without authorization from Onogoro Island?" asked Shinya as he was doubting the answers of Eric.

[Cagalli Yula Athha]

Strike Rouge appeared from the sky and proceeded to land behind Kira and the others. As Strike Rouge landed the colors disappeared as the phase shift was turned off. Cagalli took the cable down as she stepped on.

[Akitsuki Yamato]

Shinya noticed Cagalli was in her mobile suit uniform. The moment she stepped down Shinya saluted her as a sign of respect. Shinya then turned his attention and looked at Eric waiting for his answer.

[Eric R. Takemura]

Eric also noticed Cagalli and the Strike Rouge then he forgot what to say since he started to have a flashback of him with his dad meeting Cagalli's father Uzumi Nara Attha.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira smiled as he saw his sister once again. He turned to Eric and ask, "Why did you conduct those mobile suit exericises close to ORB without Authorization of Onogoro Island?"

[Eric R. Takemura]

Eric snapped back to his senses as Kira spoke to him "I know but I done it to test the combat strength of those terrorists, and something about their ships commander kept bothering me.."

[Cagalli Yula Athha]

Cagalli walked up to Eric. "You still have no right to conduct exericises near ORB. We could have thought you were attacking. I still have not forgotten what Earth Alliance did in the first war." she said.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira held Cagalli back. "Cagalli! Please calm down," he said. Kira also had a weird feeling about the Armageddon's captain. "The last few times we faced those terrorists I also had a weird familiar feeling about him." He said.

[Akitsuki Yamato]

Shinya remained quiet, but started to noticed Eric's reaction. He seems to be hiding something and whenever asked a question he seems to be changing the subject. He continued to remained quiet as he listened to the conversation.

[Eric R. Takemura]

"I was wondering could that person be the same one from the Chairwoman's assassination attempt?" Eric asked Kira because it cant be just a coincidence that they were getting a strange feeling about that ship's captain.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira looked at Cagalli to make sure she was doing ok. He then turned his attention on Eric. "Now that I think of it, I did have that same feeling during the assasination attempt." he said. Kira was beginning to think Eric was also one of the few that can sense things.

[Stellar Loussier]

Not far from the meeting Stellar was still waiting inside the cockpit of Gail Strike. She reached for the necklace that Eric gave to her and looked at it. She smiled and giggled a bit after looking at it for awhile. She then started to hum a tune.
