Disagreement

The Underground Bunker

Half an hour before Alex and Cynthia made it to the main hangar

Silence fills the command room on BF7 as the lieutenant colonel stands at the end of the long table situated at the center of the room. Meanwhile the captains and majors are situated around the table on either side of it.

Eventually, the lieutenant colonel says, “It’s clear that we won’t be able to take the soldiers who don’t have symbionts with us…”

“Right,” Major Vaugns mutters, “that’d just be driving lambs to the slaughter.”

All of the officers in the room nod their heads in agreement.

“Then it’s decided.” The lieutenant colonel says while crossing his arms. “I will bring all of the symbiont hosts except for Captain Harker up to fight the monsters in the hangar. If I had to try estimating their strength, then I’d put them both somewhere between a Tier 3 and a Tier 4 symbiont host. Hopefully by now they’ll have weakened each other, but even if they haven’t, then we will still have to deal with things as they come.”

While the others are muttering their agreements to the man’s words, the lieutenant colonel can’t help but think, ‘It’s unfortunate that this base doesn’t have a Tier 4 symbiont host. Otherwise this wouldn’t be an issue.’

After the officers fall silent again, Artorius nods his head and looks around the gathered captains, only to pause as he realizes that there are two less than there should be.

“Where are Captains Jackson and Isabella Fell?” he asks, his eyes narrowing slightly in the process. The other captains and the majors all look around in confusion before Captain Andrew immediately frowns and mutters, “Oh no…”

The lieutenant colonel hears and turns to him to ask, “What’s wrong, Captain Andrew?”

Captain Andrew salutes the man and says, “This is just speculation and what I’ve observed, but Captains Jackson Fell and Isabella Fell were both constantly sending suspicious glances towards Second Lieutenant North. And from what I’ve heard, they’ve been rather open about their distaste for your decision to let him go free.”

This statement has some of the other captains muttering about the captain attempting to frame the other captains, meanwhile other captains begin muttering their own agreements with Andrew’s statement.

The lieutenant colonel slaps a hand on the table, breaking off a part of it in the process as he states, “Silence,” immediately getting the captains to shut up. Following that, he turns to look at Captain Summers and says, “Go find the captains and their men,” before looking at the majors and asking, “Do you two know anything about this?” as she rushes out of the room.

Major Vaugns glances at Major Carter before looking at the lieutenant colonel again and saying, “I did in fact see Captains Isabella and Jackson sending suspicious glances towards the second lieutenant.” The other major then steps forward and says, “I didn’t see any of that, but I have heard that the captains openly despised your acceptance of him.”
