A pause, a breath, and a prayer

Endrew Vermon- the vice-captain of the ship SSR Rine-7, wasn't feeling very well.

He'd been serving in the military for seven years and last year he was supposed to have gotten his own ship. He was supposed to be captain.

And yet-

He chose-

To transfer-

To this place-

Just to work under someone- someone who he admired ever since he was a teenager. 

Someone who he really, really looked up to-

And now-

That someone was heading straight to her death-

Why?

She didn't explain.

Endrew wanted to say a lot of things-

He really did-

And yet-

"Commence-" The words- as painful as they were, came out- "Mission-" But he glared- "Deploy ten additional sentinels- and five destroyers-!"

Tiana was weeping in the background.

Though she wanted to come-

Rin didn't allow her.

And actually-

Everyone thought it was a death sentence.
