having spent a considerable amount of time in the shooting range clearing his mind of all distractions and concerns, trying to focus on the imminent drop-pod insertion, Garion is once again calm: his concerns on mutation, treachery, and personal-doubt having been shunted aside in preparation of fulfilling his purpose.

when he heard the announcement to gather in the briefing room he stowed the practice gear and started to leave only to be brought up short as he noticed the, barely visible, (walking having removed most of the blood) partial boot-prints of blood. seeing that the prints came from his own right boot clouded his newly calmed mind as he could find no memory of when he stepped in blood, and blood it was as was confirmed by his suit's autosenses.

standing outside the shooting range he could see that the prints came from the direction of the combat arena, and got clearer the further they went. (IM)*clearly someone must have been wounded in one of the bouts and i must have stepped in their blood,* was his erronious rationisation, *but i have to report for the briefing immediately and can't waste time checking*. as soon as the blood was out of sight it was out of his thoughts, yet he still hadn't noticed the, now dried and not overtly obvious, blood on his right gauntlet's knuckles.

after the briefing Garion collected his weapons from his quarters and headed for the drop-pod. arriving last he could hear the raucous voice of Saffron from two corridors away and again felt some misgivings on his [garion] inclusion in this team, (IM)*well, regardless of my thoughts the ensueing action will tell whether or not he [saffron] can be trusted as a battle-brother, and i ought to apologise to Anax for my harsh words*.

he entered the drop-pod as Orphius and Saffron were talking. stowing his gear (OOC:is gear stowed in a drop-pod, or does everyone keep hold of theirs? i would've thought with the violence of drop-pod insertion that gear would be stowed, but maybe not) Garion starts to fit himself into the drop-pod harness to the right of Anax, and while doing this he said in a volume that, while the others could hear that he was speaking, only Anax could hear what he said, "brother Anax, please forgive the aggression i directed at you. and while i do not apologise about why i reacted as i did, i do apologise for how i reacted - such aggression was uncalled for."
