Back on the Ark, the Supreme General sat in his seat rubbing his temples as a meeting was about to convene.
Truth be told, this was an emergency meeting that had pulled him right out of him watching a stream of Eclipse, catching up on what they'd been doing. He'd been just about to watch them leave for the Amazon, curious the way anyone would be curious watching a group of people they'd come to respect walk into something dangerous, when the summons had come through instead, urgent enough that he hadn't even had time to finish the segment.
It was unbelievable, if he was honest with himself, that the highest ranking officer in all of humanity's defense structure was, at his core, a fan. A genuine one. He'd caught himself grinning at something Kelvin said two nights ago, alone in his quarters, the way anyone might grin at a friend's joke, and he'd had to sit with the strangeness of that for a minute before he let himself enjoy it properly.
He didn't have that luxury today.
