With a subtle sigh, Ritsu watched as Sigma dragged herself to... wherever she was heading. She knew what she saw, and what Lorenzo made the poor thing do to her fellow pilot. Adjusting herself, and furrowing her brow a bit before looking back towards the hallway from whence Sigma came, Ritsu began walking down a different hall, only to pass by a crying Elora.
Without hesitation, the lieutenant made her way between Iskander, Zan, and Korie, before slapping the latter two across the face. "That's quite enough, I think we have had enough foolishness for one day, have we not?" Ritsu eyed both Korie and Zan, before glaring at Iskander, "Also, you know better to carry weapons, Iskander... we know that you are a Lemuria, there's no point in hiding it. So, I'll be confiscating them," muttered the lieutenant as Spartans- elite soldiers capable of single-handedly fighting Cruxi on their own- promptly made their way and took Iskander's blades... along with anything else he may have been hiding. "Check his room too, confiscate everything that he could use as a weapon too leave it to the bare essentials such as the bed, bathroom, and the likes, got it?"
"Copy that, ma'am," spoke two of the Spartans as they made their way to Iskander's room to begin cleaning it.
Sighing again, Ritsu glared over Iskander, Korie, and Zan, before turning towards Elora. "I don't understand why do you guys do this... Didn't your Squad Leader say not to cause anymore trouble, yet here you are, one of you crying on the floor, two of your fighting, and another one caught with weapons in the middle of the hallway... yeah, you guys are really bad at not causing trouble... if Lorenzo had caught you, I'm sure you would have all have gotten a few bullet holes by now..."
Smiling softly, Ritsu walked over to Elora, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, before helping her stand up, "Look... while I don't approve of Lorenzo's methods, I'm not going to say that he's wrong either... you guys need to get along, you are a team now after all. At least for the sake for your Squad Leader too, don't give her any trouble either, okay?"
Still smiling, Ritsu gave Elora her handerchief before walking towards Zan and Korie, patting them softly on the back before helping Takeo stand up, "Also, aren't you supposed to be like a 'Paladin' of sorts? Falling down so easily isn't like you Matsuda. Stay standing, and wipe that awful look from your face, would you? You look better with a smile."
"And Iskander... if I catch you with weapons again, I wont be lenient with just taking them away; I'm cutting off a finger! Got that?" barked Ritsu as she waved a finger, although whether she was joking about cutting off a finger or not was hard to tell.
"Spartan 338, Spartan 84, please escort them to the Cafeteria, alright? I trust them, but I don't want them fight again, okay?"
"Yes ma'am," spoke the Spartans in an oddly cheerful tone of voice.
It was strange... the Spartans that were piloting the choppers and were under the command of Lorenzo were cold and even menacing, yet these ones, who were under the command of Ritsu were cheerful and even upbeat. So, this was the difference between... what could have been if this person, this woman before you, could have been the XO instead of Lorenzo...
You can only imagine and think as you are escorted by the Spartans to the Cafeteria and as Ritsu gives you a friendly wave goodbye while smiling.
