"Well that's honest." Yami said bluntly, she wasn't sure if she could function in front line combat, but she figured she could be a sniper for him. She nodded quickly to what he said next and said "Consider it done commander, I will fill my ship to the brink with Lunans." she smirked at what he said and said "We lost the majority of our fleet trying to stop them at Suriso, like you did with Earth." it is interesting to note that she had been referring to the GPF as we until the invasion, in which she went back to calling the Hegemony we. She kind of shrugged and said "Lie then, the Hegemony could be a great ally." she nodded to the next thing, she would help him. She kind of sighed and said "You can't save everyone Hawke, people will die in this war, in droves." she probably would respond Hawke's orders much better than anything. She nodded to what Adair said and had a kind of emotionally dead look in her eye and said to Hawke "I am living proof that Adair could be an effective killing machine with a little training. She could help us win the war." she looked and sounded enthusiastic about training Adair to be like her, and added "We need everyone we can get."
Alex nodded and said "I know, but how long until our ships are wiped out, Neptune is getting slaughtered, and they have the largest fleet in the galaxy." he frowned and said "It is logical Hawke, however the Hegemony was run by logical robots, logic isn't everything." he sighed and said "I know, but please Hawke, I have to, that is my home Hawke, please." he started crying at the idea of his home burning, and he couldn't even help in the slightest. He managed a meek smile at Hawke and said "I couldn't ask for a better hero though." he frowned at what Hawke said and said "Yeah, but the Oligarchy is desperate, they wouldn't kill their families just to spite you too. We aren't that stupid, hell martial law has been declared, anyone 15 or older is report for military duty to fight the Reapers." he then sighed again and said "Please take care of Elisa, I have no idea what I would do without her."
(Tabitha) Tabitha frowned slightly at Leroy and said "I don't like the Reapers, but god do they make people buy weapons." she smiled at Alma and said "Enjoy it Alma a cute, and by cute I mean terrifying, girl like you should have the best Hyperion built armour. I would hate to deny a little kid the opportunity to fight such a foe." she then smiled and added "We have managed to capture some Reaper equipment, it turns out they actually superheat metal and accelerate it to the speed of light, so that means that if you were more badass you could stop it." she added the last part as a challenge to make her make herself better.

"I trusted you before, and that got one of my crew injured," Hawke said, frowning. He nodded when she accepted, "And don't you dare think about betraying me," He said, "Good, we need a big ship like yours for this." He didn't pay attention to her calling the Hegemony 'we', or that she had called the Galactic Police Force 'we' before. He had more important things on his mind. "I'm not lying. I don't consider them smart. It's a matter of opinion. I don't doubt that they would be a good ally, but that doesn't mean they're not stupid one some way." He frowned and looked at the ground. When he looked up, his eyes looked both angry and determined. "I know, but I'll be damned if I let people die while there's something I can do about it." He hugged Adair back when she clung to him, then said,"I love you, too." Looking at Yami, he said,"No, you're not. You were modified to be what you are. I'm not going to send her in to a war, Yami, that's that. I will keep her safe."
"If we stand together, we can win this, Alex," Hawke said,"And you have to believe that. Without hope, we have no chance to win." He frowned at what Alex said about logic, but said nothing in reply. He shook his head,"I'm sorry, Alex, like I said, I need people with a clear head to come with me. You might worry to much to pay attention to your surroundings." He frowned when Alex started crying. "I'll bring you news, Alex." He frowned at what Alex said about he couldn't ask for a better hero, and said nothing in response. "I didn't think that Lunans were that stupid," He assured Alex. He frowned at the idea of everyone 15 or older having to be soldiers, but he knew it was necessary. "Of course I will," He said,"No one of my crew is dying under my watch. Now, we've wasted enough time. I'll see you when we get back. Come on, Yami." With that, he turned away and got his weapons, before heading to his ship. Outside, his squad waited, each with their own ship. He told his ship to release Yami's which was in lock down in the docking bay. He then hopped in his ship and got ready to head out.
{Elisa} Elisa also got in her ship and got ready to head to luna.
{Leroy} "I hope they kill as many as possible," He said, leaning against a wall and looking out the window as he spoke. His voice was colder then ever, but there was something else to it, something hard to determine.

Adair smiled at Hawke's determination to save as many people as possible. She knew all too well that people would die, but that did not mean at all that they couldn't try as hard as possible to save people. She smiled at Hawke's words, only faintly. She looked uncomfortable at what Yami said, because that just sounded wrong to her. Her, being a killing machine. She wanted to maybe help, at least some. But had no intentions of becoming a killing machine. She smiled at Hawke again. "Thanks Hawke" She said to him quietly. "I might train a little bit just in case though, Hawke. You know, for self-defense. That's all" She said to him.
She listened to the conversation Hawke had with Alex, and frowned. She felt bad for Alex. "I will keep you company, Alex" She said with a smile to him, and came up to him and gave him a big hug. At least the best she could. "We will make it through this, all of us, together" She said more confidently then she felt about the subject.
{Alma} Alma just stared at Leroy, but said nothing. Even though she kind of agreed with him, it did honestly sound a little insane to her. She was thinking about, strangely enough, making a joke, but decided it'd be pointless to make a joke with Leroy.
When Tabitha called her cute, she actually looked offended and narrowed her eyes. Until she said that she was cute in a terrifying way, then she just smiled. "Thank you Tabitha. I appreciate it and maybe you are worth sparing after all" She said with a smile to her, though what she said was a little, well, strange. "Damn. Nice. Does that make it stronger or something?" She asked. She smirked at what she said. "Trust me, I will become way more powerful. I will be the most powerful telekinetic in the future, I assure you" She said, sounding rather satisfied with herself.
{Vittorio} Vittorio was still ready, and just waited for the others to take off now. He had stopped his ship somewhere ahead of them, but had no intention of taking the lead. That would probably be left for Hawke. He was definitely looking forward to rescuing this people. It'd make him feel good about himself, but probably upset at the same time. "I will rescue you too Jodelle" He said to himself, but was looking at a more recent photo of her he put in his ship as he spoke. Tears formed in his eyes, but he quickly shook it off and tried to be confident in the mission.

Yami frowned at Hawke and said "This threat transcends our differences, your objectives, and Hegemony objectives are the same, survival." she figured that covered the first two things he said. She nodded and said "My ship is built to hold up to 20 prisoners, plus I bet I could fit another 10 in main areas. I am glad the Lunans have their own suits though, I don't think my life support could handle it." she shook her head and said "We now own the best single fleet in the galaxy and Alan's robots constitute the best armed units for this war. Given how they aren't affected by psychological warfare. Not to mention we have high levels of Rea-" she cut herself off, that was highly Hegemony information. She didn't do anything but sigh at what he said and just muttered "I hope you wouldn't." she shook her head at Hawke and said "Lets hope your morality doesn't get humanity killed off."
(Alex) Alex sighed at Hawke and said "I know, it is just hard to see your home moon burn." he frowned at what Hawke and nodded "Ok Hawke, I understand. I just I could help. I will keep you posted though." he quickly stopped crying and said "Thank you Hawke, lets hope Luna's military counts for something." he didn't say anything until Hawke said he had to go and said "Yes sir, please go, save as many as possible." he smiled at Adair, though it was clearly forced and said "Thank you Adair." and added "I hear Suriso is doing comparatively well."
Yami nodded to what Hawke said and said "In case I die." and walked over to Adair and kissed her on the mouth, though just a light kiss nothing more "I always wanted to see what it is like to kiss myself. Lets move." then moved at a quick sprint toward the docking bay.
(Tabitha) Tabitha laughed slightly at Alma and joking said "Awwww I wasn't worth sparing before?" then smirked saying "Well I will just have to get you more awesome gifts." she nodded and said "It is like putting the force of a railgun behind a plasma blast, they tear through our ships like nothing." she smiled and nodded to her and said "I'm sure you will be.*
Earth orbit Several ships jumped into orbit, GPF transports headed to Earth while other ships including a couple Lunan civilian ships that still had some room on them moved toward the Moon. Reapers were in force on Earth and a few were on Luna, but there were a few dozen in orbit. All of a sudden IFF systems were overloaded by the appearance of 1,600 Neptunian ships a good distance away from the GPF fleet. There was a message over the comms "This is Admiral Kim Krû Kinari Maru of the 36th civilian fleet, Heavy fleet 23 please respond." there was another voice "Oh god we jumped over Earth, patrol fleet, help us." there was a gruff old voice "This is Admiral Victor 20094 Krû Tone, all ships open fire on the Reapers." the patrol fleet moved to stop, or more just to slow, the Reapers going towards the civilian fleet. There were around 60 ships, but most of them were lightly armoured and armed, the heaviest, Tone, was only a cruiser. The patrol fleet was quickly brushed aside as a fighting force, and the Admiral desperately ordered "All ships ram the Reapers, ram them, buy the civilian ships some time to jump." ships responded by colliding with Reaper forces, but even that didn't stop them. The civilians fired weapons designed to fight frigates at most. The Reapers were blowing the ships out of the sky with such ease it seemed impossible. Screams filled the comms and the largest ship, a lifeship, called out "This is captain Mao Krû Aquila calling on all channels, we are a Neptunian lifeship, we need support, please anyone, we have lost our drive core, please anyone, we have thousands onboard." the channel then filled with screaming as the ship was cut in half. In total only 23 ships got away, that brief battle cost the Neptunians hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. The Reapers lost one ship, with another damaged.

"Let's hope everyone else sees it that way," Hawke said with a sigh. He wondered what would happen if it came to a point where they needed Space Pirate help to win this. He just hoped it never came to that, at lot of his crew would not get along well with the Space Pirates. He wondered why her ship was build to hold up to 20 prisoners, but he figured he'd probably rather not know. He was hoping that her ship could fit more then that, but every little bit helped. "To bad we can't get the Mothership there. We could fit everyone then," He said. He raised an eyebrow at Yami,"What? They have high levels of what?" He narrowed his eyes,"One little girl isn't going to make that much of a difference. She can help keep the crews morality up."
"I understand," He said to Alex. He hand spent his childhood moving from one planet to the next, and every one of them were burning."You have helped them, Alex. You were the one who discovered this signal," He said, trying to make Alex feel better. "If they're helping Earth, rather then focusing on themselves, they can't be doing to bad," He tried to sound confident, and hoped what he said was true.
He took the lead, ahead of all the other Galactic Police Force and Crime Fighter ships that were heading to Luna. He muttered to himself as he did, pausing as he heard the message from the Neptunian ships. He closed his eyes when the screaming started, and just turned off the message. He knew there was nothing he could do.
[Leroy] "No one is worth sparing, Space Pirates least of all," Leroy said, turning to Tabitha, "The Reapers will help me achieve my goal," He spoke quietly as he turned back to the window. He lowered his head, then closed his eyes, before abruptly opening them again and walking away from them.

[Alma] Alma laughed at what she said. "Who knows" She said simply. It sort of depended what Tabitha did. But now she didn't feel the need to just not really caring about Tabitha. Though for a while she liked Tabitha because she seemed to be the main one who cared for her. "Yes you will" She joked. "That does kind of suck, but does make for some cool explosions" She said, grinning at the idea of explosions. She smiled at the last thing Tabitha said but said nothing in response. Alma just pretty much stared at Leroy, and that was it. She had no reason to talk to him.
{Adair} Hawke didn't seem to have any response to what she said, but she didn't really care either. When Yami kissed her on the mouth, it seemed to catch her off guard and she just stared. It made it weirder that her twin, or clone had just kissed her. She seemed spacy for a bit, but then shook her head and just stayed in the room with Alex, even if it was to just comfort him.
{Vittorio} Vittorio followed him, and turned on his own radio to the sounds of shit going on with the Neptunians. He just continued to fly, listening to what was going on and thinking about Jodelle, though glad she wasn't likely on a Neptunian ship. When the screaming started, he closed his eyes too, and literally started to just cry. It was hard to hear, especially since even more of that would probably be happening in the future. Maybe even with someone he knew. He shuddered and that thought and just turned off the radio, and forced himself to stop crying.

Yami nodded and said "Realistically we will need every faction and their militaries to even just fight the Reapers." she listened to the next thing he said and nodded "The captain gave the old girl one hell of a whipping. We need the Hegemony dry docks to fix her, but I don't know if they survived." she frowned and said "That is classified, but at this point what could it hurt. We knew about the Reapers about a month before they showed up, however we vastly underestimated what their ships could do. Our information was useless. I even personally studdied their equipment, I was natural, it was liked the weapons talked to me." unknown to her that was an early sign of indoctrination, but Hawke probably wouldn't know that either. She then shook her head and added "We also know how to kill them, but only Alan knows the details." she sighed and said "Yeah yeah Hawke I know you don't want Adair to help the war effort directly."
Alex smiled meekly and said "I shouldn't have told about the GPF troops then, I mean if this the ony way to help my home. I'm going to ask Lunan refuge filled ships if they are all full or if they could let more room go." he nodded to the next thing Hawke said and smile slightly "Your right, if our generators still can power our defence guns we must be in pretty good condition." he smiled at Adair slightly and asked "Are you ok?"
Earth Yami sat in her ship, she flipped through the channels on her radio and they all seemed to have captain someone Krû some ship calling for help. She noticed the lack of escape pods, Neptunian ships were built without them, but noticed the Reapers abducting the shuttles from the ship. It wasn't long though that they were in the Lunan defence sphere, noting how the Reapers only dropped Husks on the poles of the moon. When she landed she saw the chaosshe knew would be happening, Lunan millitary holding back civilians that immediately tried to rush the ships. She noted that both millitary and civilian were largely children. Given that most of Luna was being pressed into service it made sense. As they landed a girl who looked around 15 walked up to Hawke's ship, she could barly lift her plasma rifle, and her space suit looked like it was made for an adult. She said "I am Major Reave, these are my troops." she pointed to the 'millitary' forces holding back the civilians. Most of them looked between 12-14, and the civivians were 8-13. She then said "This biodome was designated for young civilians however we lost our millitary protection when they were sent to protect the weapon generators. We picked up uniforms and weapons from the dead and now we were able to protect ourselves."

Hawke kind of space out for a bit, then glanced around the room thoughtfully. After a bit, he said,"Then let's hope we can get them all to help." He nodded to the next thing she said,"It's a good thing that 'she' can slowly repair herself," He was actually happy that his secret about his ship being alive had, in some part, been relieved. He didn't like keeping secrets. "You knew about the Reapers, and you didn't warn anyone?" He asked, sounding annoyed. "I I'm not sure they technically have ships, I think they ARE ships." He blinked when she said the weapons talked to her, then a robotic female voice broke into their conversation,"You should be careful. It is possible that the Reapers can Indoctrinate anyone who is within, or near them or their tech." Though Hawke's ship didn't speak much, it felt it should speak up at this time. "Then let's hope he's willing to share them," Hawke said, in response to her saying only Alan knew the details. "I think sending Adair out there would do the opposite of help, actually."
"It wouldn't matter if you told me about the Galactic Police Officers or not, because we're going to help the Lunans anyway. The only thing you'd accomplish by not telling me is getting the Galactic Police officers killed," He said to Alex. "I was more thinking that if they're willing to help earth, they must be doing alright."
Hawke frowned as he landed the ship. He had expected it to be bad, so it wasn't like all the chaos was a surprise. He hopped out of his ship, watching the Civilians. He was about to say that they could come aboard, but was interrupted by a teenage girl. When she introduced herself, he wondered if she had been promoted to that title, or if she had given it to herself. "Commander Hawke," He said, introducing himself,"We heard a distress signal, and we've come to rescue whoever we can." As he spoke, his other squad mates started to land.

Adair leaned against a wall and looked sad. "As okay as you can be in a war like this" She said in response to Alex. She was scared for Hawke, and everyone else. But she tried to hide it, so she could be strong for the group. To make them feel better. Not make things worse by being emotional. Though it looked like she was having a really hard time fighting back the urge to just let out her emotions right now.
[Vittorio} Vittorio started to land, frowning at the chaos he saw going on here. It looked like a lot of young people were the 'military', and there were a lot of civilians. He knew that this was going to be tight, and he would fit as many people as he possibly could into his space ship, even if it meant everyone had an uncomfortable ride. Now where were they going to drop them off? That was another question entirely. He wasn't even sure Hawke had thought that through of where they would take them. Sure, there was his own ship. But his own ship could only hold so many people that they were bound to be rescuing. Hopefully they could get another big ship to hold people, and keep it away from instantly getting shot down.
He hopped out of his own ship, and waited for Hawke's orders to allow people to start, well, desperately climbing onto their ships. The problem with his is his wasn't very big...His other concern was the likely fact they'd have to select certain people to come. Likely kids first. He sent Hawke a message saying, "We will probably have to allow the kids to get on first, and then with whatever other room we got, we load the adults. That is if we run out of space. I sure as hell hope we don't....". He just waited to see if anyone talked to him, or directed people to his ship.
[New person} There was a young girl that was being blocked by the 'military' forces. It looked like she actually had a space suit on that was a fitting size for her, but it was still hard to tell exactly how young she was. The fact she had the visor on her suit up didn't help. "Let me through! I have something to tell Hawke!" She shouted to the 'soldiers', and Vittorio looked over at her like she was strange. Especially since she looked rather short and young. With all the people, her swords that she carried were clinking against various things and people. Which to him someone her age carrying swords seemed weird, but he didn't really think much of it. He actually expected a girl her age to be more likely to carry a gun then a sword, as sad as that was.
[Alma} "So do you think the GPF will come crying to us for help?" Alma asked Tabitha, laughing at the idea of that. Especially if Hawke actually did come to them, crying. "It would be quite the sight" She said.

Yami nodded to what Hawke said "Lets hope." she sighed, the space pirates were sure to be a problem, and the Neptunians wouldn't join until their civilian fleet was safe, though they had over 300,000 ships and no world that could have them land. She smiled slightly and asked "Will she still need a drydock, or can she totally repair herself?" she knew most capital ships wouldn't have even taken the pounding the ship did. She tilted her head and asked, in a sort of annoyed tone "If we told you that a bunch of warships that were sentient were about to attack would you think it was us trying to confuse the GPF or us telling the truth? We were hated by most of the galaxy, there was no one for us to turn to and tell." she shook her head and said "That was our mistake, we thought they were powerful, but it didn't say anything about their ships, we assumed they were a race running the starships until we realised the only things alive on those ships were husks." she smiled slightly at the ship and said "You worry too much, I'm Yami, I can't be indoctranted, their are no accounts of clones ever being indoctranted." she liked to say indoctranted, she thought it kind of made her sound smart and older. She nodded to what Hawke said and said "After we save some Lunans I will bring you and maybe one other person to meet him on Suriso." she simply sighed and shook her head at the last thing, not sure she even wanted Adair to fight.
(Alex) Alex smiled meekly at Hawke, and said "I'm glad I told you, I really am." he sighed and nodded saying "I think we are just trying to help ourselves, but either way help is help right?" he smiled slightly at Adair and rubbed her head "We will get through this Adair, you me, Yami, Hawke, Elisa, everyone."
Earth Reave looked at Hawke and said "Oh thank god someone heard it." she looked like she was about to cry with joy when the other ships landed, and said "How should we begin loading Hawke, time is of the essence, Husks are closing fast, they will be here in 15." she then glanced over at Yami and asked "What the heck? Hawke, shoot her!" she sounded panicked and raised her plasma rifle, pointing it at Yami, and said "No one is being part of the Hegemony's sick experiments this time Yami."
When a girl tried to go toward Hawke another girl kicked her back violently, she was wearing a Neptunian version of a space suit and said "He just let my home fleet die, he doesn't care what you have to say." then realised something and grabbed the sword from the girl and in one motion turned it around and stabbed it into her abdomen. Then laid down and waited to bleed out and join her friends and family.

"I'm glad you did, too," Hawke said to Alex. He shrugged,"It seems like the least way to help yourself would be to get the Reapers on Earth angry at them, too," He said,"But any kind of help is nice."
"Yes. I just hope we have enough room for everyone," Hawke said to Reave. His squad mates all started hopping out of their ships as they landed Since he had a quite big squad, there were quite a few ships. "I think we should get the youngest on first," He said, without even reading Vittorio's message. He gestured at a few of his squad mates, and they took up positions to fight off any husks that might come. When Reave raised her plasma rifle, Hawke pushed it down so it was pointing at the ground. "She's with me. She won't hurt anyone."
He heard one girl say that she needed to tell him something, and saw another girl shove her back. He sighed and went over to them. "There was nothing I could do. The Galactic Police Force is suffering, and I've got people rescuing people on Earth, and I came here to rescue you, and everyone else here. I swear, if there was something I could have done, I would have done it," His voice showed the clear pain of leaving the Neptunian fleet to die. He tried to stop the girl from stabbing herself, but was to late. He gestured at one of his squad mates, who looked kind of like field medic, and the squad mate went over to take care of the girl. It was clear he wasn't going to let her die, whether she wanted it or not.
"Start getting the youngest on the ships!" He called out to his squad mates, and anyone who would help with it, then looked at the girl with the swords,"What do you want to tell me?"

Adair smiled at what Alex said, and the fact he rubbed her head. The smile looked rather forced though. With how serious this war was, she wasn't sure if she could believe that. "I really hope you are right Alex, I really do" She said, swallowing nervously. "I should go train, just in case" She said to Alex, a clear frown on her face. As she spoke, she turned to start leaving.
[New person] When she was kicked back violently, she stumbled and fell over onto her back. "Hey!" She shouted at her, and glared at her, though you couldn't tell because of her visor. While she was at it, she pushed herself up and back onto her feet. She glared at her again. "He's Hawke! Of course he cares! He-" she cut herself off when Hawke came over. Just out of respect, she did a quick bow to him. "Yeah, what he said" She said. When the girl took her sword, she looked upset, if you could tell, and exclaimed, "Hey! Give me Needle back!", but then quickly shut up and gasped instead when she stabbed herself with it.
Figuring she probably retrieved her sword, she looked at it and made a face, then started to clean it. "Well, it's not entirely anything important. But I wanna help you and your squad. I want to come with you and help" She said, and finished cleaning her sword and sheathed it again. "I know, I know, I'm young. But please let me help" She said, and it really sounded like she did want to help by the tone of her voice.
{Vittorio} Vittorio looked at his arm guard, then to Hawke as he pretty much said for them to get the youngest on first the instant he sent his message. After some chaos broke out with the little girl who shouted to Hawke because she wanted to tell him something, where he watched it carefully, he started listening to Hawke's orders. "Come on kids, quickly now!" He exclaimed, trying to get the youngest separated from the older ones and onto his ship, which was filling up quickly. He looked stressed, because he wasn't used to doing this sort of thing. It didn't help that there might be something attacking them any minute. "Please don't let something hit here, please, I don't need to see a bunch of these people get hit" He muttered to himself, and directed more people into his ship.

Reave sighed and said "We will shoot everyone not let aboard, mercy killings." she then let tears run down her face, the war had forced her to grow up so fast. She sighed and asked "Cou- could I ask you to kill them if we can't fit them all, I couldn't shoot someone." she sounded sad that she couldn't. She just let the plasma rifle fall to the ground, it was too heavy for her to lift anyway. She looked at Yami, and shook her head, and said "You touch one of my people and I will kill you." she then walked back toward what looked like a comm tower, she had to listen for a cod indicating she should blow up the biodome, though she refused too before because her people were there.
The Neptunian girl frowned at the medic and said "Please just let me die." though she was far too young to want death. She held out a photo and said "My parents were killed in the attack, as was Onee San." she then pulled out a slip of paper with Japanese letters on it and said "I want to die please, this is for the honor of my family." her entire family had 'Neptunian' features, which was natural.
When Hawke yelled the crowed moved toward the ships quickly, often shoving each other out of the way trying not to get left behind. The 'troops' were at the front and tried to sort out the kids and send the younger ones first. However the situation was totally hopeless and quickly gave up, running for the transports themselves.

Hawke frowned at what Reave said, but it made sense, in a way. He looked at the civilians, then at the ground, before looking back at Reave,"Only if that's what they want." He wasn't sure if he was doing that for the civilians, or so that he didn't have to hear their pleas to let them live. He picked up her plasma rifle and handed it to one of his squad mates to get it out of the way of any mad civilian who might use it to their advantage. "Relax. If she hurts anyone, I'll take care of it," There was a slight threat in his voice, but it wasn't to Reave, it was to Yami.
The medic shook his head,"I'm not letting you die if there's another way. You are the last of your home fleet, are you not? You should live, to keep that alive," He said, to reassure the girl. He was sure Hawke would be better at it then him, but he could still try.
"If you can prove to me that you can fight, I'll let you come," He said, surprisingly not very reluctantly. If this girl could fight well, he had no reason to turn her down, seeing as Dekota was on his ship.
Hawke shook his head at the crowd. His squad did fairly well at keeping the older people out of their ships, for now. Hawke climbed on to the top of his ship and whistled loudly. Loud enough to the crowd could hear him. "Listen up! If we can't fit everyone, we will come back to pick up whoever is left behind! But think about it like this, the kids will be less likely to hold out then the older teens or adults, so you have a better chance of survival then the kids. Let the kids get on first, so that they can survive. So the chances of everyone surviving is higher!" He said it almost as an order. He hoped it would help at least a bit.

Adair arrived to the training room and let out a sigh. She tried not to be so surprised when the thing in the room showed up. Though, she wasn't really sure she knew how to start the simulator anyway. She just wanted to get some practice to be able to at least defend herself. But all she really did was stare at the machine thingy, trying to figure out what she was supposed to hit. "Um...." She said to herself, looking confused.
{Vittor} Vittorio smiled at Hawke. Hawke was such a good guy, always trying to go for the best answer he could give, even if he couldn't completely pull that off. Hopefully they would of course. That would be awesome if they saved everyone. He could pretty feel the tension of some of the crowd relax a 'bit'.
He noticed his ship was now pretty much as full as it could be, and he extended his arms out to block anyone else trying to come in. "My ships full people! Move on to the next ship please!" He ordered, and hoped that a mob of people wouldn't just plow him over or something and leave him here by himself. Of course Hawke wouldn't allow that. Once he was no longer protecting his own ship from being even more overcrowded, he would make sure everyone was happy enough as they could be under the current circumstances.
{New person} "I can fight with Needle!" She exclaimed proudly, and took out Needle to show him what she was referring to. "But I think I best show you an example later. Sound good? If I end up not being useful, I'll just stay out of your way" She said to Hawke. This girl Hawke was accepting was only a year older then Adair, but he didn't know that. It was hard to tell exactly how young she was in her space suit. "Can I ride on your ship?" She asked him, re sheathing her "Needle".
