Ariin stood up as Lorenzo was leaving. "Sir, even still my duty was to do my best to protect my team and with incomplete targeting data I could have hurt more than I helped. I had to open my hatch, it was my best bet to take out the target, I was blind any way if I was to be any of use I had to risk myself. Call me an idiot if you will sir, but if that was real combat and I was blind stuck deep in an enemy combat zone I'd do the same thing, better to die fighting then to just stop and wait for the end." He said waiting to hear the announcement for who would be made squad leader, he wondered if it would be Harold, he did have experience though he could a bit of jerk. Lora might be a good fit, yet she would have adjust to leading all of them in battle.

Ariin Sorus, while not ambitious did wonder silently if he even had a chance at a position like that? He did have experience leading a small squad in simulations. He also was quite the prodigy for someone his age, apparently having a rather natural talent with his Famewerk. If he was named squad leader he'd have to be tough on them, even Sigma and Elora. He would earn the respect of the others, that went for anyone Lorenzo named in his book, he could say who was the best fit for the job was but at the end of the day, the squad itself would decide who they wanted in charge. Few could argue that point, he'd seen it before officers whose power only came when their NCO agreed with them.

Ariin now hoped he might get that chance, to lead them failing that he would like to at least assist in leading the squad or even helping plan strategy's. He might not have been a genius but he had training and skills to back up his talk, in truth he'd accept whatever Lorenzo said. He just wanted to make sure the whole squad could get along and work with one another, since if they couldn't they would probably end up fighting on battlefield. Out there a petty squabble could get hundreds hurt or killed, especially since they would a front line fighting force in the war against the Cruxi. He also pondered if he could sneak into the cafeteria and back that cake for Sigma, he did promise her a strawberry cake and a Sorus never forgot a promise.
