Avgust listened to the announcement made by Scythe, as he stood fixing the still damaged components of the Outrageous Fortune as his hands brushed over the tools in his possession to fix the ship. He looked over to the loudspeaker as the Hunter finished his announcement, before returning his attention to the fried communications on his ship. His helmet had already been removed, revealing several new scars and bruises which had been added by the battle with Enxor—as he slowly felt his missing right ear.

The Vanguard snipped away a few wires, removing the components that they were attached to as he fished out a few decent wires to replace them with. Ship repairs had never been Avgust's favourite thing to do, but his training within the Vanguard taught him how to manage the task of on field repairs.

Still, Holliday wouldn't be too thrilled to discover that his communications was broken. It was all within the line of duty however, so it didn't really concern him to much—even though he already owed the Shipwright plenty. Replacing the plating of the ship, the Vanguard rose to his feet to look over to where Sara was at. The young Titan looked at him with some interest.

"So I guess the deed is done, then." Sara said, smiling somewhat as she looked over Avgust. «Da,» he replied simply, "it indeed is."

The young Titan placed her hand on the shoulder of Avgust, grabbing his attention before speaking. "Then what is going to happen now?"

Avgust simply stared back, not quite ready for the question before he replied: "Head back to the City, file a report and continue fighting whatever is out there."

"Nothing else you have on your mind?" Sara asked.

"Well..." Avgust paused, remembering back to the nightmare he had. The death of his original Fireteam, the idea that Osiris was right and the loss of someone he considered a friend to the Cult of Osiris.

"Personal issues are irrelevant for the Vanguard, Sara." He quickly remarked, pushing the question aside. It was true that leaving for Mercury as his nightmare suggested, was strictly forbidden for the Vanguard unless given consent by Commander Zavala.

The ideas and politics on Mercury were corrupting, especially given it had become headquarters to an individual who was vilified by the Counsel. Osiris was a greedy man, concerned more with knowledge than defeating the enemy.

Sara looked towards Avgust, with a faint suspicion he wasn't revealing anything to her that she'd like to know. But she quickly looked away, as Avgust marched to a resting quarters. He needed rest. It had been a long operation.
