Aluns Hill: Liberty-Prime Base

Maverick's Pov

The base has been coming along, hard to believe is started as a trench network and a few dozen tents. Now it's a star fortress covering all directions and centered around the Gate.

Some of question why it looks like the Star of David.

We brought the refugees back to the base, we then report it to the Major. Who is not happy that we brought them here?

Higaki: What?! Who told you to bring them here?!

Me: I did, sir.

Itami: So bringing 'em here was a bad idea?

Higaki: Do we have anywhere to keep them, Grunts?

Excuse me?

Itami: What do we do then?

Before Higaki could answer I looked behind him and said something that probably made him shit himself.

Me: ATTENTION ON DECK!!

Everyone snaps to attention as both Gen. Hazama and Jackson enter. Jackson was glaring at Higaki who is now sweating bullets. Then Hazama looks at both Itami and I.

LTGen. Hazama: Report, Captain.

Me: Sir respectfully, we couldn't abandon those people to their fate. Plus this is opportunity to learn more about the locals here, and start a friendly dialogue as we planned to do in the first place.

Gen. Hazama: I see.

BGen. Jackson: So, you'd rather we let these poor people die?

He seriously asked the Major who had gone ghostly pale.

Jackson: Oh sure, I didn't know your idea of human lives was that they are so expendable, after all, people are just little obstacles in our road that we can use to exploit for our path to development and peace. No? Well, if you don't want this to happen again, refrain from pulling this kind of act again, okay Maj. Higaki?

Higaki: Yes, sir........

Hazama: So for now Itami and Mav, we'll accept the refugees as part of a humanitarian effort. And Itami and Mav you're in charge of housing and observing them for now.

Me: Yes sir.

???: Also I'd like permission to interview some the refugees individually.

When we all heard that voice I'm pretty sure everyone's blood ran cold as we turn to look who spoke.
