There was a knock on Heinrich's door.

"Mr. Heinrich?  I'm an aide of Admiral Howard." A voice told him through the door.

"Really?" Daniel said. "Why do you say that?"

Byron followed Brody. He didn't know if he was under any restrictions, and he didn't doubt that someone wanted to speak to him, but he guessed if he kept a low profile no one would ever know. Byron did not want to sit back and let others do battle for him. He was a knight- defence of the kingdom was his chosen life style.

In the hanger, Brody and Byron were greeted with the sight of two Hermes operatives. Gunny sat alongside Carter on crates that were being loaded onto Jager's ship. Gunny lounged, while Carter sat with rigid posture. The latter wore his helmet, while the former had his helmet sitting on his lap

"You're telling me.  That you've never tried alcohol before?"

"How do you not know this?" Carter replied. It was more a blunt demand than a question.

"Well, I took it for granted.  You can't really call yourself a person if- wait, I forgot."

You could positively fill the exasperation coming from Carter. "The Commander is here." Carter noted as Brody approached, and Carter rose to salute him. "Commander."

Gunny was less quick to do so, and he seemed unable to wipe the smirk from his face. The wiry man was also dwarfed by Carter, in both height and bulk. Not that Gunny was short, but Carter was simply much larger in size. Thus, side by side, they looked like quite the pair.
