Jerid pulls himself up from the ground, holding himself back from retaliating against Bright physically.

>Jerid: Coach knew I was the only one who could pick up where he left off.
>Bright: Every time you speak Jerid, I get a little closer to just locking you in the brig and calling for your decommissioning. For the first time in your life, shut your mouth and follow your orders.
>Bridge staff: Captain, Musai-class has just fired a warning shot! They are calling for us to cease our descent to the Earth!
>Bright: Move us to combat status! Do not launch any retaliatory fire unless they directly target us! GM II teams, launch and cover the Pegasus until we are at first stage of descent-
>Jerid: Your not sending out that new Gundam? You want to scare these Zeeks into backing off, then get me out there with it and-
>Bright: All you had to do was keep your mouth shut. Security, escort Jerid to his quarters and seal it until we have made landing planet side. Also take the prisoner while you are here.
>Amate: What?! I didn't even do-
>Fraw: She isn't causing any trouble. I can take her back after-
>Bright: Fraw.
>Fraw:...Sorry, Amate. The fighting might be a little scary for you, so it might be better for you to rest instead.
>Amate: Bright, I can pilot the Gundam to get them to back off! Jerid even let me use the training simulator a few weeks back to-
>Jerid: You retard! I told you to stay quiet about that!
>Bright: Nobody is touching that machine until its new pilot arrives for it.

Against their wills, Jerid and Amate are taken from the bridge by the vessels security. As Jerid is lead back to his quarters, he resists being pushed and holds his ground.

>Security Officer: Jerid, don't do this right now-
>Jerid: If Sleggar were here, he'd be out there piloting it. Bright knows I am the best pilot on this ship! If someone half competent went out with the Gundam, Zeon would completely back off!
