Python leads the team to the gunship, standing at the back door. He allows them to go first. Going by a code he learned when he was young:
"The strongest soldier is always the first one on and the last one off."
After the team gets onto the ship, he steps in and closes the door behind him.
"Look, I know this was a bad hit, a low hit, it was beneath the belt, but this is how this job goes. It's constant loss and frustration, but we keep fighting, why? Because no one else can. We're sent in when it's so bad, the Empire can't even handle it."
He crosses his arms, sighing.
"I know, we've taken heavy losses in the past week or so, but they wouldn't want us to sit around and mope on their deaths, they'd want us to keep going.....and that's what's going to happen."
The pilot takes off, soon breaking orbit.

Edited by Python824: 10/6/2015 2:12:09 AM[spoiler]Phantom captured, Sheyen and Deceiver -blam!-ed up, COG is really bad guys from Exalin team's past, the Del Fino corp.[/spoiler] Python looks at him, nodding. "I know you think it was your fault, but these Dread guys hit hard, almost me hard."
-
[i]He shakes his head in disapproval[/i] "I'm weak... Still. After all my training."
-
"You're not weak.....Deceiver's weak." He chuckles.
-
"I made a promise to myself to keep the team safe. How can I do that when I'm weak?" [i]He slumps down lower.[/i]
-
"You don't have to keep the team safe, that's my job." Python sits next to Jack. "Look, the fact that you almost took me in one on one combat means you're strong to say the least. Anyone else on this team would've cracked under the pressure. You know that."
-
"Almost doesn't count. It wasn't even a fight, if anything you were just messing with me." [i]He sighs.[/i]
-
He nods, seeing that Jack is depressed. "That's what I do, I mess with you guys so you realize that we all have these problems, we all need to work together. What we should do is have a few of you guys take me on, while I'm trying. How does that sound?"
-
"Sounds like we'll break a lot of shit." [i]He chuckles, perking up to the idea.[/i]
-
"And when is that not fun?"
-
"Well when your on a ship, that holds all of your oxygen. It's not fun. When it's on a free will planet. Oh I can only imagine."
-
"When the ship is near indestructible, it's a lot of fun."
