Chapter 60
It was the day after the Chairman's speech.
And even though the sun had not even raised yet, most of the Archangel crew was already out of their beds, and working hard on getting the white spaceship ready to leave the area and head for the coast as quickly as possible.
But thanks to their early awakening there was a large part of the crew that hadn't gotten any breakfast yet. Once Mayu had heard Dalida complain about that, the girl had immediately volunteered to go get him some food. And when the other people up on the bridge had heard what she was up to, they had of course asked if she could bring them something too.
Which was something the little trouble maker had been more than happy to do.
Having been there yesterday, when they discoursed their next move, the smaller Ramius of course knew, how important it was to big sis Cagalli that they hurried got back to Orb. Something that the eleven-year-old girl was absolutely determined to help accomplish no matter what. But seeing as she didn't really have a job here on the Archangel.
The brown haired girl honestly felt like the best thing she could do at the moment, was bring the starving crew their breakfast. Up until now she had already delivered four trays of food to the bridge and was currently heading up there with two more. Being extremely careful not to drop any of the food on them, Mayu might insist firmly on doing this. But that most certainly did not mean that she wanted to take the trip up to the bridge more times than necessary.
This was after all the third time in the last half hour, that the girl was traveling the long road up there from the mess hall.
And she could not help but sigh slightly in relief when she could finally see, the end of her small journey. And once she got near the thick metal door, which the bridge was located behind, it automatically flew open, and allowed access to the most important room on the Archangel.
"Hey guys! Mayu's delivery services has arrived yet again! I do hope you are hungry!" The smaller Ramius yelled loudly as she entered the room. Where she instantly noticed that the crew up there looked just as sleepy as the last time she had been there.
So after slowly moving her eyes over each one of them, the girl let out a light chuckle as she handed the first tray of food over to Miriallia. "It's a real shame that grandpa Waltfeld isn't here. I'm sure some of his coffee would be more than enough to wake you guys up" Mayu said obviously finding the tired looks they were now giving her quite amusing.
And it was only after Arnold let out a long yawn, and muttered something about, how much he could really use, a nice big bucket full of Waltfeld's coffee right about now, that Mayu stopped grinning and took the about three steps necessary to get down to her mother's seat. "Here you go mom, bon appetite" the girl said happily.
Giving her small yet grateful smile, Murrue reached out and took the offered meal from her daughter's hands. "Thank you sweetheart, that was really nice of you" the brown haired woman said. Then brought her hand over to gently rubbed Mayu's short uncombed hair.
But seriously not in the mood to be treated as a child right now, Mayu immediately backed away from her and glared slightly at her. "You are welcome, mom. Now if there is nobody else who is hungry up here, I think I'll head down to the hangar, to see if there is any starving people down there" the smaller one of the Ramius' said determinedly, while heading over towards the door.
She did however not get very far before her mother called out after her.
"If you really are searching for hungry people, Mayu, I think you should take a look down in the med-bay. With everything that's going on, I'm pretty sure that the kitchen staff have forgotten all about feeding Mu, and if his appetite is still like it was two years ago he should be pretty hungry right about now" Murrue said in a small voice. Sincerely wondering if his eating habits had changed too since his disappearance at Jachin Due.
Ever since he had been brought on board, Murrue had only visited him a couple of times. It was just so unbelievable hard for her to look him in the eyes and know that he was a completely different person, than the one she had fallen so deeply in-love with through the last war.
And every time she saw him now, her heart would feel like it was ready to leap straight out of her chest. While every single fibers of her being was crying for her to be hold by him again, and be back in his secure embrace.
But with his memories of her and what the two of them once had together, now gone Murrue Ramius came to the unwanted realization, that there might never come a time again, where she would be able to feel his strong protective arms wrapped around her. And that simple thought alone, was of course more than enough to make a deeply sadden look appear in both of her eyes.
It did however not linger there for long. For when Arnold asked her, which route they where suppose to take to the ocean, she immediately realized that she still had a lot of work to do and that this wasn't really the best time for her to get all depressed about Mu.
And with that in mind she shook her head a few times while looking down at the blue haired man.
"If we take the short route it would win us about a half hour! Yet if we take the more bumpy one it should be hard for anybody to follow us much less attack us. But that's only if you are up to it, Arnold. With all of those twist and turns it will be quite a challenge to get the Archangel safely through" the woman explained in a highly serious tone, while pressing a few buttons beside her that made the two routes to the coast appear up on the main monitor.
Yet while the Archangel Captain was discoursing with Arnold which road would be best for them to take, once they where done with the preparations and they where ready to leave this place.
Murrue didn't really notice that Mayu was currently watching her with a thoughtful look on her face. Her mother might be doing a pretty good job of hiding it.
But even so, Mayu could still easily tell that the whole thing with Mu La Flaga was still bothering her mother greatly. But as much as Mayu truly wished, that she could come up with a plan to make the blond man regain his memories. The only thing she could come up with at the moment, was to hit him on the head with either a frying pan or a baseball bat.
And the eleven-year-old kinda doubted she would receive much appreciation, if she did something like that. It would most likely result in her getting grounded for a couple of weeks and staying cooped up in her room until they reach Orb, wasn't really something she would consider as entertaining.
Which meant that it would probably be best if she came up with a less violent way to get the blond man to remember. So while trying her best to come up with some kind of ingenious plan that would miraculously fix the blond man's memories. The brown haired girl hurried cut in, when she noticed a small break, in the conversation between her mother and Arnold.
"You don't have to worry about the Canary of Endymion, mom. I'll make certain to bring him some food eventually" the girl promised loudly. Then turned around on one foot and marched full speed over towards the entrance, with everybody else in there looking after her.
And once the door flew shut after her, it only took a couple of seconds, before a few amused laughs could be heard. "Heh, Canary of Endymion that's not bad. Perhaps I should consider calling him that as a way to get back at him, for all of those times he referred to me as girl, instead of Cagalli" the blond woman said, with a hint of a wicked smile on her face. That really told the others, just how much she was looking forward to start annoying Mu with his new nickname.
Yet before the young woman could really start daydreaming about, how pissed off Mu would get once he heard the minor changes to his nickname. Arnold went and ruined the whole thing with his next words.
"I like the Canary thing too, Cagalli. But with him not able to remember anything I kinda doubt that it would bother him all that much" the Archangel pilot said.
Not really pleased with hearing that, Cagalli instantly turned in her seat and gave the blue haired man sitting in the chair beside her a highly nasty glare. "You really are a spoilsport, Arnold. Guess I got no other choice than to wait until that idiot regains his memories" Cagalli said loudly, sincerely believe that it would only be a matter of time, before Mu would once more be able to remember all of them, and his corny old nickname.
Yet while Cagalli kept on complaining about, not being able to tease the annoying blond haired man with his newly acquired nickname she did not notice, that miss Murrue was currently watching her, with a thankful look in both of her eyes. The Archangel Captain could not really explain why, but for some reason, it kinda lessened her deep worries about Mu, to hear the young pregnant woman, sound so utterly sure, that he would at some point get his memories back.
So after listening to Cagalli's sulky voice complain a bit longer, Murrue smiled slightly at the back of the cranky girl as she turned and asked Dalida for a status report of the Archangel's weapons.
"There was a few problems with a couple of the missile launchers, that had been overheated during our last encounter with the Earth Forces at Berlin. But according to Murdoch everything should be back in perfect order now. So if anybody does attack us while on the route to the ocean, they will certainly get a good number of bumps and bruises in the process" the glass wearing man explained, while at the same time pressing a few buttons on the control panel in front of him.
Definitely pleased to know that they were nowhere near defenseless, should they fall under attack.
The brunette haired woman nodded briefly in understanding, before asking the next question on her mind. "What about the engines, Arnold? Any problems detected with them?" She asked the helmsman in a highly serious tone.
Which he immediately respond to. "No Ma'am. They are all function like they are suppose to. We can start heading for the coast once we are done deciding which one of the two routes to take" Arnold said loudly.
That was when Amagi decided to share his two cents about the matter. "I for once believe it would be best if we took the shorter route, Captain Ramius! The quicker we get down under water the better" the lieutenant said in a voice, which made it completely clear that he had thought a great deal about this matter.
Taking a small glance down at the man, Murrue could easily understand the logic in everything he had just said. It would without a doubt be best if they disappeared back down into the ocean as quickly as possible.
But even though Murrue agreed completely with the lieutenant about that, the brunette haired woman simply could not stop herself, from feeling a little concerned about taking the shorter route.
If there truly was somebody out there keeping an eye on them and just waiting to the right moment to attack them, Murrue would most definitely prefer if they could find someway around them. But on the other hand if either the Earth Forces or Zaft was so determined to put a stop to their interference once and for all, there was a huge chance that they had established their forces in both directions.
And with that in mind Murrue let out a small breath. "We'll go by the shorter route like you suggested, Amagi. So go over to level two battle station now, and make sure that both Kira and Dearka are ready to head out at the first sign of trouble!" The woman ordered loudly.
Seriously not wanting to be taken by surprise, while on their way to the sea.
Somewhat surprised over hearing that it was only Kira and Dearka she wanted ready to enter combat at a moments notice. Amagi found himself blinking a couple of times in bewilderment as he looked straight up at the brown haired woman.
"What about the other pilots, Captain? I'm sure that they would really like to help out if we do fall under attack" the lieutenant told her.
Taking yet another glance at him, Murrue smiled slightly at him.
"I know that they want to help, Amagi and I am truly grateful for that, but for now I want them to stay on standby until we are completely sure, if somebody really is going to attack us! Who knows, we might be lucky enough to get a nice calm trip to the coast" Murrue said. Even though she highly doubted that small wish was going to come true.
Not saying anything to that at first, the lieutenant just sat there, looking quietly at her for a brief moment or two, until he finally nodded a single time in understanding. "I get what you are saying, Captain Ramius! But with most of the Murasame pilots, now seeing the Archangel as a second home. It's kinda unlikely that any of them are going to be overly pleased with the idea of being stuck here on the ship, should we enter combat! So if it's all right with you, Ma'am? I think I'll go down and explain the situation to them, before we take off!" He said loudly, while getting up from his seat.
"That's fine, Amagi! We will call on you when the preparations are done and it's time for us to leave" she told him, then watch as he made his way over to the door, where he stopped for a brief moment and looked back at her.
"Thank you, Captain! I'll be back shortly" the Orb lieutenant said, before he hurried left the room.
Once gone, it did not take many seconds, before the rest of the crew up there was busy doing their usual maintenance check on the Archangel's system. To make absolutely sure that the ship was completely combat ready.

Meanwhile down in the pilot ready room.
Kira zipped up his space suit and picked up his helmet, which he looked over for a few seconds. Frankly wondering just how many more times he would have to put this thing on his head, before they could somehow put a stop to Gilbert Durandal's crazy scheme.
He did however not get a whole lot of time to think about that before the door to the room flew open and Dearka stepped inside, with a look on his face that made it pretty obvious that it hadn't been long since he had woken up.
"Yo Kira, how are you this fine morning?" The blond teen asked in a mostly cheerful tone, then went over to his locker to find his own space suit.
Yet while he was doing that, Kira was watching him with a raised eyebrow. "Emm, you do know that most of us have already been up for quite a while Dearka?" The brown haired man asked. Just as Dearke pulled out his suit from the locker and throw it down on one of the many chairs in there.
"Yeah I know! But it couldn't really be helped. I was quite tired after everything Miriallia and me did through a big part of the night" he said, with a big goofy smile on his face, which made it kinda difficult to figure out if he was actually serious or not.
So after standing there studying his grinning face for a few moments, the male Yamato moved his eyes upwards a single time, as he made the decision that he might as well play alone. "Eww! I did not need to know that, Dearka" the Freedom pilot said in a grossed out tone.
Which unfortunately had the unwanted side effect, that it made the already huge grin Dearka had on his face grew even bigger. "Well, I can always tell from that one certain smirk when you and Lacus have been going at it. So I think it's only fair that it works the opposite way" he said, again using that damn tone that made it pretty much impossible to tell if he was serious.
Not at all sure what to say to that, the brown haired pilot could only open and close his mouth a few times, as he tried to think of something to say back. And after a couple of long minutes he growled out three simple words.
"Shut up, Dearka" and with that said he turned around and raced full speed out of the room.
Once gone, Dearka instantly started laughing loudly. "Ohh, that was fun! Some people just can't take a joke around here!" The blond man said.
Then began getting ready to put on his space suit, still chuckling softly over what he had just done. Truth be told, there had only been a few rare occasions, where he had been able to tell, what the married couple had been doing it.
Like that time shortly before they had gone to meet Athrun and Nicol at Crete, and that time back home where he had accidently walked in on them and seen Lacus dressed up in that somewhat revealing pink nurse uniform.
But now that he was giving it a little thought, the teen kinda wished that he hadn't entered their room without knocking. It might have been embarrassing for both Kira and Lacus. But it had also been quite embarrassing for him. Even though he had honestly found it highly entertaining to tease the two of them with the whole cosplaying thing afterwards.
Unfortunately the amusement had been brought to an end when Lacus had threaten to tell Miriallia about him walking in on them. And the mere thought of how angry she would have gotten, had been more than enough to make him stop. He hadn't really felt like sleeping out on the couch for who knew how many weeks.
The Murasame pilot did however not think about that incident for long. Before he shook his head a few times, to get his thoughts over on something else. So while slowly zipping up his black space suit, he started wondering what kind of resistance if any, they would encounter on their way to the coast.
Yet while still thinking about that. He let out a small sigh as he reach out and grab his helmet. Then turned around and started making his way over to the door.
Once outside.
The first thing the blond Coordinator saw was Kira leaning against the opposite wall, clearly waiting for him. "So what do you think we should do now?" He asked in a tone that was so far from the more humorist one, he had used only a few short minutes ago, as it could possibly be.
Hearing that question, the Freedom pilot instantly got a deeply thoughtful, yet at the same time, highly serious expression on his face. As he slowly moved away from the wall and stood up straight. "It would most likely be best, that we stay in close range of the hangar, Dearka. I seriously have no idea about what the trip to the sea are going to be like. But should anything happen, we'll better be able to deal with it, if the two of us are ready to launch immediately" Kira said in a tone that was nothing else but reasonable.
Nodding briefly to that response, Dearka threw his helmet over to his friend who swiftly caught the round object, before it could fall on the floor. "That sound's logical enough to me, old buddy. I'll go get the chessboard and a couple of sodas, from the mess hall. I don't really mind staying cooped up down in the hangar while heading for the coast, but I refuse to sit around down there just rolling my thumbs the next couple of hours" the blond man explained. Even though a part of him realized that chess wasn't really his type of game. But it was preferable over just wasting time down there, waiting for something to happen.
Not having any complains about beating his fellow pilot and friend in chess a few times, Kira nodded a single time in agreement. "All right that sounds fine, Dearka. I'll see you down in the hangar shortly" the Freedom pilot said.
And with nothing else to say, the two young men went off in opposite directions.
000000
Meanwhile a few dozen kilometers away from the Archangel, on board the Minerva. Talia Gladys was in her office, looking over the ship's newest orders. "I realize that the Archangel and the Freedom gundam has made a great deal of trouble since their reappearance. But is destroying them really the only way to deal with their interference?" The brown haired Captain asked herself. Seriously disliking the idea of actually attacking the white spaceship.
The Archangel and her crew might be somewhat of a annoyance whenever they appeared. But it wasn't like they where a part of Logos, or some other terrorist organization. They where simply trying to put a stop to the fighting in their own way.
And just thinking about how bravely the Archangel crew had fought to save Berlin from the Destroy, was almost enough to make her want to call up Gilbert and start yelling at him for giving her these idiotic orders.
And when she had tried to contact Headquarters to get clear confirmation of these orders, the idiot she had spoken to, had just repeated the orders to her one more time. Then told her that he was busy and didn't have the time to speak with her at this moment in time.
"Damn it, Gilbert! What the hell are you thinking?" The woman growled softly to herself. Seriously wondering what could be going through her lover's mind right now.
Yet after just sitting there silently for a few long moments, Talia slowly shook her head, and let out a deep sigh. "I'm going to give him a big piece of my mind the next time I see him" she softly promised herself, as she started wondering how the rest of the Minerva crew was going to react to these orders.
One thing was definitely certain, Athrun was going to be more than just a little pissed off once he heard what they where about to do. The blue haired man did after all have a great deal of people he loved and cared about on board the Archangel.
"Guess I should be expecting him once it gets announced what our next...mission is going to be" the woman growled sadly to herself.
Seriously disliking the very thought of trying to convince Athrun that attacking the Archangel was the right thing to do.
If she had been in his shoes, and she was suddenly told that their next task would result in the death of her son and everybody else important to her, she would without a doubt be hysterical too. "What in God's name do you want me to tell him, Gilbert? No matter what you or I say to him, he will never stop caring about the people on the Archangel" Talia whispered softly.
Greatly pissed off at her lover for putting her in this situation. "I really hope, that I can get Arthur to tell the crew what's going on" she mumbled in a tone that sounded more than just a little exhausted.
And while still thinking about how much she detest the very idea of going after the Archangel, the light brunette haired woman, slowly reached over and picked up her coffee cup and brought it up to her mouth.
Yet once she got a taste of the brown liquid, she immediately spit it right back down into the cup, seeing as it had gotten cold from standing on the desk such a long time.
"Guess I have been sitting here much longer than I thought" Talia mumbled. Before placing the cold cup of coffee, back down on the desk where she had found it.
After that she turned, and took a look at the small watch, located at the very bottom on her computer screen and once her mind realized, that she had been sitting in there for nearly an hour just thinking about this whole mess with the Archangel, she instantly shook her head a few times, as she reached out towards the intercom on her desk, and pressed the one button connecting her to the bridge. "Arthur, will you please come down here a moment?" She asked in the most kind tone she could muster under these circumstances.
And it took less than a second before she heard the man's voice give her a reply. "I'll be right there, Captain!" He said loudly.
But with the sulky mood she was in at the moment, his shouting did sound way too overly cheerful for her right now. Yet it wasn't like she could actually order the at times silly man to be as cranky as she was. "Good. I'll be expecting you. I have a few things I need to talk with you about" Talia told him, then moved her hand away from the intercom, before he had the chance to say anything back to her.
So not really sure what to do with herself while she was waiting for him, the brown haired captain let out yet another deep sigh, as she leaned back in her seat where she thought back to all of their previous encounters with the Archangel.
000000
At the same time up on the bridge.
Arthur was a bit taken back by the abrupt way Talia had ended their conversation. It really served to make him wonder what in the world the Captain wanted to talk with him about, and with those bewildering thoughts going through his mind, the Deputy Captain slowly stood up from his seat and took a look around at the few crew members presently up there.
"Please keep an eye on things for me until I get back. I have no idea about what it is the Captain want to discuss with me. So it could take a while" the black haired man explained in a tone, which made it completely obvious to all of them, that he was still thinking quite hard about why, exactly the Captain had asked him to come to her office.
Hearing the Deputy Captain say that, Bart took a small glance away from the work he was currently doing. "You can count on us, sir!" The blond man said, just as Malik and Chen nodded a single time in agreement. Not once looking away from the task in front of them.
Definitely pleased to know that the bridge was in capable hands, Arthur smiled slightly before he walked the rest of the way over to the door. "Good, I'll see you later then!"
And once he got out into the hall he once more started wondering what it was the Captain wanted to speak with him about.
000000
It was about a half hour after Arthur had been called down to the Captain's room.
Not that Athrun knew anything about that, the blue haired young man was at this very moment laying calmly on top of his bed, reading in the highly humorous comic books which he had borrowed from Yolant yesterday. "This is not bad. Maybe I should start collecting the rest of them, when I get the chance" he mumbled softly to himself.
Already knowing the location of a few shops back in Orb that sold both new and old comic books. Yet while he was promising himself to go visit those two shops once he got back home, his thoughts was suddenly brought to an end when Arthur Trine's voice could be heard from the ship's speakers.
"Attention all Minerva crew members! I have just been informed by the Captain that we have a new mission that will require a lot of effort to overcome! Seeing as we are going to hunt down and destroy both the Freedom and the Archangel!" The man said.
Hearing the Deputy Captain tell what they where about to do, Athrun practically stumble out of his bed, in his haste to get up on his feet. "WHAAT?! They can't be serious!" He yelled as loud as humanly possible. While staring directly up at the one speaker in there, sincerely hoping that the man would drop some hint that this was nothing more than a cruel joke.
Yet once the second-in command began explaining where exactly they where suppose to find the Archangel.
The soon to be father came to the unwanted realization that the white space ship he saw as a second home was soon going to be attacked by the very ship he had been trapped on for so many weeks now.
"Damn you, Gilbert Durandal!" He growled out through his teeth, while hurling the comic book at the floor with as much force as possible.
And while the Deputy Captain continued talking out over the speakers,
Athrun stormed with full speed over towards the door. Completely and utterly determined to have a few highly serious words with the Captain about this entire matter with the Archangel. And it only took a few minor seconds, before the extremely pissed off teenager was racing with great haste down the Minerva's halls.
Not paying the least bit attention to any of the people he rushed pass.
Pretty much the only thought going through his mind at the moment, was to speak with Captain Gladys. And try to convince her, that this attack on the Archangel was a bad idea, if he could somehow do that, the woman might be willing to contact Headquarters about canceling this whole mission.
Yet as he went pass two female crew members, who belonged with the kitchen staff, there was a small part of the blue haired man which could not help but wonder how exactly Nicol was handling these news about the attack on the Archangel.
The former pilot of the Blitz, might have changed quite a bit these past two years. But Athrun felt pretty certain that there was still a part of Nicol that still cared deeply about the people on board the Archangel.
And while thinking about the more kind Nicol he had known in the past, before Mayura had lost her life to the Calamity gundam, Athrun found himself hoping that Nicol would already be down in the Captain's room, talking with her about stopping this whole thing. It did not really take much of a genius to figure out that it would be so much easier to get the woman to listen and do something about this whole matter with the Archangel, if they where both down there.
So as he turned around the last corner, he tried his very best to decide just what exactly he was suppose to say to the Minerva Captain. Unfortunately with him being so utterly busy and with the millions of thoughts currently rushing through his mind, he did not notice that he ran right by the Chairman's most loyal fellow. Who was looking after him with a deep thoughtful expression on his face until he was out of sight. "Hmm, he wouldn't stay useful much longer, perhaps it's about time we get rid of him too" Rey mumbled quietly to himself.
Then kept on heading in the direction of the hangar, where he knew Shinn was busy preparing the Core Splendor for what was going to happen soon.
And while Rey was doing that, the soon to be father, was staring intensely at the entrance to the Captain's office. Once more wondering if Nicol had any intention to help him out, or if he had to handle this on his own. Yet realizing that wasting time out here wouldn't really do him much good.
Athrun lifted his right hand and knocked strongly on the metal door, which meant that it took even less than a second, before he heard the Captain's voice telling him to come in. And even though Athrun still wasn't entirely certain what to say to the woman.
He slowly reached out and pressed the one button by the door that would allow him access to the room.
000000
At the exact same time down in what could only be described as Nicol and Lunamaria's room.
The two teenagers had been relaxing and watching some new stand-up comedian that had grown quite popular back at the Plants. When Arthur had started telling the crew what their next mission was going to be.
And even though it could not be denied, that the jokes the comedian was telling right now was highly amusing. The former Archangel crew member just sat there staring blindly into space, as the faces of the people he had fought together with two years ago, was slowly running through his mind, one after another.
Yet once he saw a certain red haired Astray pilot smiling gently at him. He instantaneously, shook his head in a persistent manner. "This has to happened. It's the only way the world will get ever lasting peace...I'm...I'm really sorry, Mayura, but this has to happen" he whispered in such a low tone that even the girl sitting next to him couldn't hear it.
But even so Lunamaria could easily guess what was bothering him right now. And knowing that the redhead slowly reached over and wrapped her fingers around his hand. "Are you all right, Nicol?" She asked in a gentle tone.
Hearing her kind voice, Nicol blinked a couple of time as one lonely tear ran down his face. "Yeah...I'm fine, Luna...there is no way around this...as long as they are out there...they will never stop with their interference...so it's probably best...that we put a stop to them now, before they can do something that will ruin the Chairman's plan entirely" Nicol explained sadly.
Looking silently at him for a moment or two, the red haired girl moved over and rested her head against his shoulder. "But they are still people you once cared about" she said in a small tone.
Which made the young man nod a single time. "Yeah they where...but they choose their path and I choose mine" he said in a somewhat far away tone. As yet another tear made it's way down his cheek.
Not at all sure what to say to that, Luna snuggled a bit closer in towards him, and hugged him tightly with her one good arm, sincerely hoping that she could make him feel just a little better about the upcoming attack on the Archangel.
Feeling her hugging him like that, Nicol didn't really do much he just snuggled a bit closer to her, simply enjoying the feeling of being near the most important person in his life.
To be continued.
Hey guys I hope you liked this chapter, have a merry christmas and a happy new year, I'll see all of you in 2015.
