"Thank you for your kindness, honorable friends" Finix nodded, taking the gift into her hands. She maintained a stone-cold stare, though the unmistakable flush of color on her face gave away her embarassment as she handed the staff that approached her the singular flower. "I hope that you would accept this gift as well, as it is traditional to gift it in Finixi culture, as a sign of friendship, I believe you call it."

"Also, there is no need for formality either. I am called Finix. Now, I assume, if you are not the honorable person I am here to speak to, you are here to lead me to them?"

Finix shifted her gaze between the captain and the IWW staff quickly, crossing her arms as she did over the basket so as to hug it.

Captain Amino responded, "We respectfully disagree, Chief Finix, Our protocol dictates that mid level diplomatic officers like myself and the IWW, address foreign leaders by their proper title unless otherwise ordered to by the Minister or President." He also gestured to one of the IWW staff, "We would also be happy to hold onto the gift and luggage that you have brought, so that you do not have your hands full when you meet Minister Kuribayashi." "That being said, I wouldn't expect the same courtesy from Major Kusanagi as she is beholden only to the Crown Princess, Admiral Remilia F. Firenze" he said gesturing to the soldier sat atop her tank.

Outskirts of Credence Airfield

Corporal Maz Yamada heard a voice as he dragged the Sergeant out of the Crater. The screams of the Sergeant drowned out parts of the voice's message, but he figured it was Sedunnic in origin since he didn't understand what the voice was saying. Nonetheless, he couldn't assume anything as the voice could have easily been one of their wounded.

As Yamada continued to drag the Sergeant, he contemplated his options. 'either I surrender to the Sedunners and hope that their supplies could save the Sergeant, or believe the propaganda and take my chances with the army's dwindling medical supplies. Neither option is good... but sarge is almost out of time'.  

Yamada stopped as his muscles burned from the burden of shouldering his mentor, and took a deep breath. "Imperialist Allies! Don't Shoot! I can no longer fight and my friend needs medical help! please Help us."
