"You forget your station, Mechwarrior Matthew!" Resnick called up, gesturing effusively. "And you come dangerously close to impugning the honor of our Loremaster by suggesting that Daphne Vickers might have failed to note such important events! You would do well to not meddle in the internal affairs of a Clan that is not yours."

There, Resnick had positioned himself as defending the honor of the Wolves, and as one of the senior ranking officers present it fell to him, Ranna or one of the bloodnamed Warriors to do so.

Of course Matthew could offer surkai for suggesting that the Wolf Loremaster had failed to note the exploits of the Getter Team rather than respond directly to his own aggression. Then the Wolves would be obligated to at least consider putting verses like his in their Remembrance. But that wouldn't be the actions of a preening Falcon, Resnick thought. It would be the actions of someone who had learned something from time in the Earth Sphere...

Time to regain the initiative.

"Furthermore your statement is false. The Gurren Brigade are a Spheroid..." Well he couldn't say 'mercenaries', not without starting some kind of beef. "...band, not a Clan of Kerensky. To suggest that you can maintain your own Remembrance is to insult the Founder himself!"
