[IC] Mobile Suit Gundam - Those Who Correct - Crossover

[Zero Hex]

Leo stood there quietly sucking on his cig while the man said his piece and talked about multiverses and Stella, taking his hand back and scratching the back of his head. "The order's different, I didn't plan to betray Angelo and he tried to kill me because of it, he planned to kill me so I decided to betray him in turn. Tit for tat". He looked at the infirmary door in turn. "Even assholes like me can have a soft spot, children like her don't belong out there, killing and getting killed. And if you want to talk about a strange situation, where I come from, Angelo's forces lost their war...about a year before I was born. Their mobile suits are, literally, museum pieces as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, the name's Leopold Creighton, but please, call me Leo".

[GreenGoat]

"Captain who?" Whoever it was, it was obviously someone with a high rank, or at least someone respectable. "Fine, I'll go see Jason this moment."

And at the very least, ask around about Tieria. If his suit was here but he wasn't, she wanted to know why. Or did that Saturnalia person replace Tieria in another world almost similar to hers? Meeting Nena would be nice too, even if Nena doesn't know who she was. Having familiar faces in a strange place was of some comfort to her, even if it was one of an enemy.

Smoothing down her white dress, she walked confidently towards where Jason was, guided by the crew people following her.

[vancexentan]

"Now that...That is very interesting indeed. Angelo's machines are relics in your verse and or time? In Rowan's they seemed advanced to him. This is getting stranger and stranger...Now Mr. Leo. I have to come up with a meeting so that all of our main commanders can confirm what happened out there. However it seems Mr. Gabirel has deiced it better to go and patrol outside...so be it. We can go into further detail there. However I must wonder...will we find people from our verse that are much more advanced like you claim to be from the future....I wonder if we could even run into one of my soldiers' future children here. That'd be an interesting thing to see." Jason grinned. "Now then would you come with me Mr. Leo we have business to keep up with." Jason said as he walked down the hallway towards the staircase that led upstairs.

Paul had been sitting silently with Puru whom decided since Baker was still upstairs that she'd sit with instead. "So uh...Puru how did it go on your side?" Paul asked Puru awkwardly. The past five days he had known her Paul had not tried to talk to her and their interactions where brief and only when the various soldiers had complaints about her being hyper leading to Paul forcing himself to go and calm the soldiers down. SIGMA especially had trouble dealing with her attitude seeing as it was not welcome among 'proper soldiers like themselves' according to SIGMA Leader. Then again what didn't turn the man on his ear? Puru put her face on the table and grumbled something but Paul didn't hear it. "Um I didn't hear you Puru could you repeat that?" Paul asked as Puru shivered for a moment before bursting out of her attempt to keep calm which caused Paul to grab his head as he felt Puru's anger surge via his newtype senses, "GAH! WHAT IS WRONG WITH GABRIEL AND THE OTHERS?! THAT WOMAN ISN'T NICE AT ALL! SHE DESTROYED MY FUNNELS, TRIED TO HURT US-" Puru started before Paul covered her mouth firmly as she stopped and glared at him, "Inside voices please." Paul said patiently with the little girl. Jason had advised him to do so when Paul asked since he didn't know how to treat a young girl like Puru. Paul dreaded in him raising a kid himself. It would be weird...well at least his wife seemed to be good with people so hop-no she had her pop concerts and stuff that she did on occasion. She wasn't as active as she used to be but Paul agreed to let her live her life after all what could he do to stop the girl? He was often off on- "Alright fine but i want to bring this up to Captain Jason! I want him to know that that evil woman needs to be locked up or watched. Who breaks other people's stuff and get's away with it?" Puru complained further interrupting Paul's chain of thought. "Of course you're invited to the meeting too Puru all accounts are welcomed by the Captain." Puru's face grinned as she smiled at Paul, "Alright Lieutenant thanks for lettin' me come. I'm not usually allowed to help plan stuff. Captain Bright saw me as immature and Glemy...well he was Glemy let's just say he wasn't the nicest of guys around." Puru said to Paul as he patted her shoulder and got up. "Well let's get to the meeting room soon Puru no used being late." Paul said as puru jumped up beside Paul and nodded quickly.

[Sugihito]

Donna thought about SIGMA team's comment on how they expected better. She was disappointed with herself also, unable to prove much. "Instructor, can the training OS in the Sandrock have the difficulty adjusted?" She requested. "I feel I need to do better."
The Instructor knew what she meant. "We all have a rough time here." He assured her. "War is never easy for the human mind and people can't find a way to vent their frustrations."
The Gundam pilot thought about how she will fare in a team effort with the other Gundams of her world but assumed that she'll be pulling the leg. She didn't get much confidence from the earlier battle to help.
The Instructor looked at his watch and tapped his student on the shoulder. "The meeting is soon." He informed her. "Better get going now." He remembered one more thing. "I will have the training OS adjusted as you want later."
Donna looked and smiled. "Thank you, I will head there now." She thanked him for the reminder. She found a SIGMA team member still around, ready to escort her. They exited the hangar and entered the elevator, to the floor with the meeting room and will wait outside until the Captain of the Sundown arrives.

As the meeting room gathered full of people it soon became quite apparent the mismatched outfits were clear this ship was becoming more and more foreign to the original inhabitants of the ship. Paul Lyons was wearing his stolen black ZAFT space suit and his hair was still messy from wearing the helmet. Alpha, Beta, and SIGMA's soldiers weren't present but their leaders, Grant Nimitz, Beta Leader, and SIGMA Leader were there in their steads. The clothes they wore were the official OMNI Uniform with Grant wearing a custom yellow version of the suit he had bought with his own money and Beta/SIGMA Leaders wore the white and black uniforms just like Jason. Puru sat in her casual outfit that she had worn most of the time except when she had washed them the day before. Graham wore a blue Union Uniform underneath his suit and had decided to put away his pilot suit in exchange for wearing his soldier attire despite attempts to get him to wear the OMNI uniform. And they all sat around the large white rectangular table as they waited for anyone else to arrive. No one else came. "Well then this is the third time we have met as a group, with the acception of the late Miss Peacecraft, and Gabriel Cross. To all of those unaware though my name is usually classified I am Jason Hiyan who is not only the Captain of this ship but holds the higher rank Captain as well I am a member of OMNI Enforcer. A group that prevents invasion and neutralizes hostile forces that seek to destroy or disrupt Earth. The man wearing the black flight suit is my first lieutenant Black Star. His first name is Paul but his last name will remain classified. If you cannot refer to me refer to him for further questions. He may seem like a boy but as some of you may be aware he is not all that he appears to be." Jason commented formally as Paul nodded his head to Jason. "I first ask that those whom are new to this ship please identify themselves in some way in front of the crowd here so that there may be some sort of understanding before we continue on. If the others wish to introduce themselves to the new guys then so be it." Jason said to the group as Paul and Jason waited for the group to do as the Captain had asked of them/

[GreenGoat]

"Reve Niens. Celestial Beings. We're the one responsible for uniting Earth under one banner for the coming dialogues."

Finding herself a seat, she quickly ascertained it was one of the spinny ones, and within moments was spinning about slowly in it, the fact she was barefooted quickly becoming apparent as she spun.

"I have no idea who you guys are." Stopping the chair with her feet on the floor, she spun in the opposite direction. "But there are a few of you that feels like one of me. Like that girl there. I have met Aker before in combat, and I know you have Nena Trinity somewhere in here, but where is Tieria? I saw his suit being piloted by some woman that I don't recognize, but still the same as me."

[vancexentan]

"So you really are a terrorist then?" Paul grumbled out as he reflexively reached for his pistol slowly but stopped himself almost immediately. This was not a time to shoot people. "Yeah it seems that way Captain sir. It is like she is a more demented version of Puru I'd guess from the way she hugged me. If what she said was true then it seems 'I' have met her in combat before. But that gundam in the bay area...that belongs to a young man whom I have a certain relationship with. Whatever it is worth I don't know her." Graham said as Paul raised an eyebrow towards that hugging part and Graham said not to ask as he knew nothing of her personally. From the snorts coming from some of the other pilots it was clear they doubted that. Puru however got up and looked at Reve almost pushing herself onto the table itself in an attempt to get closer to her and she grumbled angrily, "Hey this girl destroyed my funnels you know why is this even a question throw her in jail like that Nena girl who tried to kill me!" Puru growled as she eyed Reve. Jason sighed as SIGMA Leader actually agreed with the child's assessment. "Well since it seems that Miss Saturnalia won't be joining us then it is up to you to interpret our next course of action Graham do you think we should trust her knowing she is of the same faction as Nena Trinity whom has tried to kill some of us in the past?" Jason asked Graham who looked at Reve with a placid face as if judging if he should condemn her or not.

It came quickly however as Beta Leader chimed in, "Sir perhaps this girl could be of use to us in combat. I may not have seen her fight but Gabriel's machine took damage and he's not one I'd take for a fool. If anything if she promises to help us in fights and not butt in then we should let this girl be for now despite her....less savory enterprises she aligns herself with." Beta Leader chimed in as SIGMA Leader growled that they were soldiers specifically meant to kill terrorists which led Paul to tell SIGMA to settle down but Paul still acknowledged SIGMA's point. They had all valid reasons not to trust this young lady. Jason cleared his throat as Jason's body cleared showed that of a man who wanted silence...no demanded it without speaking. And just like that the room fell silent. "To answer your questions Reve: Yes I allowed my soldiers to tell you we have Nena. If you stay on this ship that would have been clear. Likewise I believe Grant informed me of telepathy abilities that you have. That in itself is frightening Reve Niens however the girl you refer to is named Elpeo Ple 'Puru' and she is certainly a very interesting young lady. If you're willing to apologize for breaking Puru's funnels in combat that will certainly ease her a bit. If someone broke my weapons and then was granted amnesty I'd not be happy either. If you do this I will tell you what I know of this man you know of this man called Tieria." Jason said simply. Paul knew it for what it was. Jason was lying through a smiling pair glimmering teeth. He knew nothing of this man Tieria....however if Reve did apologize then it would at least let Puru calm down...if not then it was clear that they were going to be bitter allies if this girl intended to stay on this ship. Grant only looked over towards his captain with confusion in his eyes. Graham stayed silent despite being called on earlier.

[GreenGoat]

"GUH HA HA HA! ..oh wait, you guys aren't joking." She stifled another round of giggling as she looked over at all of them. Soldiers, pilots, all of them expected to fight and die if the situations demands it. "Just a while ago you people were the ones shooting at me. All of us here live to fight and fight to live, and you're expecting me to apologize over someone's broken equipment barely minutes after trying to kill me. And to top it off, you just tried to lie to me right after a friend of your said he knows no such person. So what now? Will you kill me? Will you apologize for getting my dress bloody after that?"

All of a sudden, as if by a switch, her demeanor changed drastically, Reve now sitting up straight looking very serious. "We live our lives as murderers for our beliefs. Regardless of whether we are called terrorists, liberators, heroes, or other things, we still kill others for our own cause. Even I, who was made for battle, cannot simply apologize for doing what I did to live and fight another day." She spoke as if she was another person entirely.

"So what did you expect me to say?" Reve was smiling again, as if oblivious to how she was acting moments ago. "Sorry for your funnels there, but if we meet on the field as enemies again," She spun slowly, looking directly at Puru "I won't guarantee I won't just kill you." There wasn't any sort of malice or ill will in her voice, just a cheerful sort of announcement one would make while declaring their love for sweets.

+2 Double Post of awesomeness

[vancexentan]

While the majority of the room rolled their eyes at the speech given by the girl, as if it wasn't clear she'd be dead if they wanted to kill her by now, and ignored it, it was Paul who spoke up in a deceptively calm tone. "You're so self confident in your own ideals that person murders just for his own beliefs. I refute that. A person's character is revealed by how they choose to react to something. The allies you fought for today...they threw their lives away for a cause bigger than their own. Their leaders ran instead of dying with them. What did I do? I hunkered down took a sword in my hands and tried to parry a beam shot at me in the hopes that I could save one of my enemies because I felt she deserved that chance It was a futile gesture but I did it. And I did it because I believe everyone deserves a chance. Stella was in an OMNI suit yes but she was clearly afraid and unsure. An enemy who questions their motives is a man who can be turned.

"Yes we attacked you today but a handful of days ago Angelo was the aggressor towards us. To make it clear we have fought a Neo-Zeon group before. A man named Glemy Toto... His men attacked Puru for leaving, we attacked them in return to help a young girl, and two strangers survive. We killed them and lost a possible ally in return. A couple days later, Angelo found us scavenging the materials from the battle later instead of letting them go to waste, and worst of all he turned on his own soldier, Stella Loussier, as soon as she started to doubt what was going on. And despite that Stella still asked the enemy soldiers to stand down. You're character is in question here: You rant and rave about ideology and what makes us kill. You have some point but you're also just as flawed as we are. We're a group of protectors who fight people who seek to harm our homes. That is our charge as OMNI Enforcer. We fight to protect people. Our politics may be called into question indeed. But we all signed up for one reason or another but the majority of us here know what we are and we don't question why we do it unless the orders in question are insane. It is a simple thing we asked of you no matter how ludicrous it was: apology, even if it is insincere, was it so much to ask?"
"Perhaps I am being a hypocrite as I hate ZAFT as much as anyone due to the losses they gave me in the pass, the things they stole from me personally. But this isn't about me. This is about Puru and while she may be young and ill experienced you're no more mature then her. You mock her for feeling anger at the destruction of her weapons? Be mad at ME then you little witch. I'm the second in command and I am the one who gave Puru the orders to fight in that battle. She wouldn't have even thought about attacking anyone without reason. Unlike me and you...we kill without question. Puru is a girl whom I can see is not comfortable with just doing what she is told. I barely know her but her attitude screams: I feel strongly about things."

"On the subject of orders... Jason may be the head but I'm the neck. I'm the one who is to blame for this whole situation. I'll prove it to you. You questioned if we are willing kill you now?" Paul said as he pulled out his pistol as the room tensed and he simply aimed it at Reve, "I could do so. Right now. No one would blame me and we'd drag your body out and dump it in the dirt out there. But I don't want to unless you make me. This is my ship. This is my home and I don't hurt guests in my home unless I have to. And you...you're a guest here at the moment but even guests have limits. Believe me I have so much blood on my hands already killing you like this would just be a another drop in the bucket for me. There's a reason I pilot a gundam. A mere twenty some year old soldier piloting a experimental super suit. Don't get me wrong I don't enjoy killing. However I have killed so many people for the countries that I serve...for politics that I have no say in. So know this: I don't view myself as some...hero or whatever you think I think I am. I-I am a shield who does whatever he will in order to protect what he needs to protect. Now I ask you this: Knowing that I could kill you at any moment I choose to why do you think Captain Jason gave you food? Why do you think we didn't shoot you as soon as you exited you cockpit? The answer i believe is simple: It's a matter of practicality. If you want to survive here...if WE want to survive here we need help. We need people like you to work with us now. No matter how much it hurts to admit it that gundam of yours is DNA locked isn't it? We can't use it for anything other than scrap metal and we don't want to give it to some enemy to get. It'd be a waste. If you'd rather drop ship and go run free to Angelo's broke little excuse for a ship then do so. However we have shelter, food, soldiers, well trained officers, and repairmen to fix your suit. We are willing to give you these in exchange for your help/ Will you serve under the flag of a group that is so foreign to you like Graham Aker? Or will you take your chances in the wastes? Pick now. I'm overriding the Captain on this one and I'm sure he can't say much either because from what I can tell since no one has interrupted me that they understand what I am doing. You work with us or you work for yourself. There is no conscription offer here. You can't be one of us but you can work with us. Just take my offer or leave." Paul said firm and defensive. He stopped talking though and breathed in heavily. "Well at least you're not one to mince words Gundam I can respect that. But I think you came off a little to hard." Graham said to Paul as Puru eyed Reve uncertainly. She didn't expect Paul to defend her like this it was clear enough to see as her eyes lost some of that rage in them.

[Zero Hex]

Leo rolled his eyes at the entirety of the meeting. Very hard and very obviously. Not just at Reve but at the overly long outbursts from the ship's crew as well. Both spiels just struck him as overly dramatic, overly self-righteous and overly self-pitying, a combination that made him want to laugh and sigh at the same time. He settled for rolling his eyes some more. What the fuck kind of ship had he gotten himself into. It was better than Angelo's, sure, but he didn't think he could hold back his laughter much longer.

[GreenGoat]

"Ahaha~ Justify yourselves all you want. It all boils down to murdering other people for your own good. How many corpses have your stepped on to get to your station?"

With another push on the floor, she spun faster, ignoring the gun pointed at her, before finally replying when she started slowing down. "So shoot me. Show me how humans solve most of their problems." She gave a small laugh, one that actually sounds like she was amused at all that was happening. "For that last matter, I am right here talking to you, am I not? That should be answer enough for you."

She stopped spinning and sat back crossing her feet, oblivious to the view she was giving to anyone in the right place. "Well, as long as you humans don't betray me like that last bunch."

"Just to make this clear, I don't belong to you or anyone, and I won't listen to any orders I don't like or can't accept. Accept that and maybe we can work together."

With that Reve tilted her head backwards over the chair's headrest, and looked over to the person who didn't look like he belonged. If she was not mistaken, he would be the pilot of the small MS, judging from the way he stood, and the way the ship crew had stared at the MS. "You're being rather quiet. Aren't you going to say anything?"

[Zero Hex]

"Honestly? I don't give a crap. All this talk about protecting and fighting for ideals and moaning about how awful you are for killing people, it's almost laughable. A soldier's job isn't to protect, if you want to help people go be a fireman or something. My job is to pilot a killing machine and I'm good at it". Leo shrugged, a sly smirk on his face. "So please, if being a soldier is so terrible for you, by all means, feel sorry for yourself, but don't go on long rants about it. Me? I'd suggest hanging up the pilot suit if you're going to feel conflicted every time you shoot an enemy down, because you're gonna wind up half-assing the job sooner or later and it's gonna get you killed, or even worse, it's going to get me killed".

[vancexentan]

"Conflicted? I have no problem with gunning people down if needed. It's the unneeded killing that-" Paul was stopped by Jason whom held up his hand, "Let me explain my lieutenant's nature and argument for you Mr. Leo. While you have a perfectly reasonable mentality Mr. Leo, it is admittedly the mentality of most ancient warriors noble and proud as they were, but in my opinion it is indeed shorted sighted. But if you see yourself as a murderer nothing more and nothing less then you have lost a large bit of the respect I had for your abilities to put Angelo away like you did. As well as the respect you had for helping save Stella. When you get an order to murder a person it is your right, and duty, as a human to question if you're doing is right. There are times when you need to fold your cards so to speak in a situation and there are times when you need to play them. What happened today was a occasion where my men went in with orders to kill sparingly and show a strong power base towards Angelo.

"The intention for the assault on Angelo was for Angelo to be scared off and disabled from attacking us further. What happened was a full blown massacre that was forced on us as a group because the men following Angelo were loyal and or fanatical to his cause. Of course there are good sides to this we rescued Stella Loussier, a fellow OMNI Soldier, and we prevented needless sacrificing of our lieutenant's life..." Jason said as he gave a frown towards Paul who cringed inside. "And we also forced Angelo away permenantly. It is also possible we could gain an ally in you Mr. Leo. Your skills are good and you seem to be reasonable man But first I need to get something off my chest: I understand that you don't know my men and we don't know you but I assure you that Lieutenant Paul, Ensign Grant, and the captains of my infantry squads have all done their fair share of kill shots willingly without even questioning why in the midst of combat. However all of the soldiers whom serve under me understand that you need to have restraint Without restraint bad things happen. If you believe the murder of innocent lives preferable than by all means continue thinking that. War is hell but one should never lose sight of the people that men like us are meant to be protecting. Regardless of mine own beliefs and yours, I apologize if I offended you in anyway but it is what it is and I will not concede anything further. I need to stick up for my men I'm sure you understand that...Also I hope you're a bit more aware of the fact that Paul has a pistol in his hand correct? I'd personally not want to make fun of a guy with a loaded hand gun. Now if you would put that away Lieutenant..." Jason said as Paul nodded and put it away. He didn't like that he had to do so and it was clear this man would be no friend of Paul's but if the orders came from Jason then Paul would follow it to the end.

"Now with that ugliness is out of the way Reve...I will allow you freedom in what you do in combat, within reason that is I can't let you go charging into blow our cover in the middle of an sneak attack, and I will grant you freedom to work on your suit with the concession that you will eat in your assigned room and not bother Puru. Likewise Puru you are not allowed to antagonize Reve if she does choose to agree to what I have offered....I'm a high ranking military commander and I sound like I'm disciplining school children." Jason said as he laughed to himself understanding the ridiculous nature of what he just said and how he had shifted from philosophical soldier to middle school teacher in less than a moment's notice."Also medical bay access without clearance and the same goes for the bridge..." Jason said all to seriously as Puru mumbled that she'd do as Jason asked.

[Sugihito]

Donna was at the meeting room, listening to what the newcomers had to say. They were yet again colourful as the last batch with names she never heard of, a terrorist among one of them. She can point out that their original loyalties hardly matter for now but but chose not say anything as she was more or less a guest. It looked like the good Captain can maintain order in the room and she wishes so. From what she heard now the terrorist can negotiate to work for the time being but the pilot of the small Gundam was still loud. She wished she is able to get a drink as the newcomers were hardly to be friendly with and deal with the stress of being stranded.

[GreenGoat]

"Aha~ That guy gets what I'm saying." She spun around faster in excitement, as she listened to the man speaking.

"Oh oh! And I wanna see Nena! I wanna know if she's the Nena I know." Without a word more, she jumped off the chair and skipped out of the door, giving a bright smile at the woman she passed by. That woman didn't seem to belong as well. How many people did the hole thing get? She did listen to the lecture that person gave when she was in Angelo's ship, but she fell asleep halfway through.

Reve walked about for a bit before stopping, finally realizing an important fact.

She did not know her way around the ship, or to where Nena was. In short, she was lost.

[vancexentan]

"Gah...guards!" Jason said in annoyance as the soldiers blocked the pathway out of the room. "Miss Reve you have yet to receive your room accommodations and you will be allowed to see Nena Trintiy with time. However you are to not leave this room until we have the room scheduling down AND everything is sorted out or I give you the go ahead to leave. Allowing you to see Miss Trinity is a magnanimous gesture by my own counting since she is a prisoner and we haven't even let Saturnalia question Trinity. However With the death of Miss Peacecraft, and the loss of some of our own soldiers we need to restructure who is sleeping in the same room with who. After that I'll assign Squad Captain Grant to give you a ticket to Nena. But first....Mr. Leo...you still haven't answered me question. Are you with us or are you leaving this ship? I believe it will be the former but in the end it is your choice." Jason said firmly as he tapped the table in front of him as he waited for his answer from the man in question.

[Zero Hex]

Leo shrugged "I am what I am, I kill people, so does I assume most everyone in this room no matter how they try to dress it up. Whether it's right or wrong ain't for me to judge, I've never shot anyone who wasn't shooting back and that's about as far as my thoughts on that matter go. I'm not stupid, if I leave this ship I've nowhere to go and no clue where I am, so I'll stick around". He extended his hand towards the captain "The contract is simple, you don't try to kill me and I don't try to kill you, you give me a place to stay and I shoot down people for you, deal?"

[vancexentan]

"Simple and easy to follow. I'll accept this contract...mercenary." Jason commented simply as he got up and breathed in deeply, "Now that we ALL have an accord let's get things down to business." Jason motioned to one of his soldiers as they brought him forth a map of one of the upper levels of the Sundown. "Alright then as for rooming accommodations. To restructure things Miss Reve will be staying with Stella Loussier, Donna, and Saturnalia. In this room." Jason said pointing out a small room towards the corner of the hallway. "Of course this is considering the fact that Stella is able to function properly after her ordeals." Jason commented sympathetically towards the not-present Stella. "Gabriel Cross will be rooming with Graham Aker, and Mr. Leo over there." Jason pointed out noting that he was moving Gabriel and Graham's room to the room formerly occupied by Omega Squad whom were MIA since this whole ordeal started. "Puru will be rooming with my communications officers like she is now. Miss Baker, Williams, and Mr. Axer." commented Jason as Graham smiled, "I'm good with these accommodations." Graham commented as Puru shrugged, "I'm fine with that too. Miss Baker owes me a bath anyways. She promised she'd take one with me!" Puru muttered as Paul rolled his eyes, "Really so that's what our military soldiers do in their off time?" Paul commented dryly.

"Oh don't act so uptight it's not like they're wasting your time. Besides Puru is a good girl and deserves to get a reward for her hard work today." Jason said as suddenly Grant Nimitz stood up, "Sir before this is all settled...I must inform you that this girl named Reve is capable of telepathic thought according to Gabriel. I find this whole circumstance strange that not two but three of these pilots using these 'GN Drives' or whatever they're called happened to show up in the same place near each other! Sir I-" Grant said as Jason held up his hand and Grant stopped mid sentence, "I thank you for this information Mr. Grant. HOWEVER what do you want me to do about this situation exactly?" Jason asked as Grant answered firmly, "Keep an eye on them!" Jason looked at Grant and nodded, "I shall but what do you want me to do otherwise? Imprison them? How will that solve anything now that they promised to help us? If they try anything in those suits they'll get gunned down by our own men. It's not like they have use of any weapons otherwise unless one of us slips up pretty badly and or are you forgetting we have cameras nearly everywhere on this ship? Don't patronize me Ensign I will not look like a hypocrite. These two will receive the same treatment as Miss Donna over there. Ah and when we're on that subject Miss Donna I want you to inform me what happened to you and SIGMA Team. SIGMA Leader you stay as well all of you dismissed. Miss Reve and Mr. Leo will be escorted to their rooms by Ensign Grant and Conscript Captain Graham Aker. Now dismissed." Jason said as all of his troops saluted him with a firm "Yes sir!".
==
As Grant left the room with Reve they walked towards wherever Reve wanted to go to within reason of course. "You know I trust you as far as I could throw your mobile suit." Grant said quietly to Reve as they left the room. "I don't like people like you roaming around this ship it disrupts protocol. At least Puru will listen to us now where are we going exactly?" Grant said to Reve as he waited for he answer.
===
Paul got up and left the room but was stopped by Beta Leader, "What is it my friend?" Paul asked the older gentleman as they both left the room. "I want to talk to you about something can we walk together sir?" The large man asked Paul as he shrugged. "Sure no problem. I was just going to go to check on Raigo's repairs." Paul commented as Beta Leader chuckled. "You REALLY should spend more time having a breather Lieutenant. You work hard and that's the main reason people don't question you around here...that and you could kill us all probably. I've seen your hand to hand skills you're better than most people twice your age." Beta Leader said as Paul uncomfortably moved his hands about. The reason behind that wasn't something he was willing to share. Taking Paul's silence Beta Leader walked with the younger lad as he scratched his head absently. "We should go check out that Stella girl don't you think sir?" the elder man said to Paul as he looked to Beta Leader with confusion, "Why do you want to see her? I trust Wilbur will do what he needs to do. There's no point in hassling him or Stella. It may even complicate things more." Paul said as he remembered the tired look on Stella's face as he opened her cockpit. It wasn't pleasant noting he may have been forced to kill an OMNI Soldier today. "I think you should try to befriend her sir or at least make her feel more welcome. It was clear that guy Angelo was just using her today. I saw you try to defend her when Angelo took the first chance he got to try and silence her. Without question he betrayed his comrade. I know that's a sore spot for you too Lieutenant. And with Rowan dead, that guy Leo not being much of a smooth talker, and Reve being a sociopath it seems it is up to one of us. And seeing as you're both Gundam pilots you're the next best thing." Beta Leader said to his young comrade as Paul and he entered an elevator and Paul looked at Beta Leader with a smile and chuckled, "Oh yes indeed this will certainly get across something right? A sweaty man in a ZAFT Captain's space suit talking to a girl whom is being examined by the coldest doctor this side of the multiverse. That will make her feel welcome." Paul said as Beta Leader smiled, "Oh don't worry your mysterious pretty boy motif got you this far I'm sure it will get you a friendship with Stella." Beta said back to Paul and both of them smiled. "It's good to know I have someone to rely on. SIGMA Leader doesn't exactly bring along the thought of the military not being nice to people." Paul said as Beta Leader agreed. They'd heard of the man's feats in battle and how he was one of the top pilots in the OMNI Military. He had fought three enemy Gouf at the same time and killed them all but that seemed a bit far fetched to Paul. Then again...the story of how he got to this place today was a strange story all in it's own. "So Lieutenant sir where are you going anyways?" Beta Leader asked him as Paul grinned, "Oh I'm just going to see Stella and talk to her some if Wilbur would let me. Truth be told what I told you about Raigo...it was a lie." Paul grinned as the elevator stopped and he left it followed by Beta Leader.

"So is that really what you believe in?" Graham asked Leo as the two of them left the room. Graham had his hands in his pockets as the two walked up the staircase. "Before you ask, I'm not going to lecture you about your ideals like the others may. I'm a warrior, a soldier of honor and pride. I thrive on battling others and challenging my own instincts, Gundam." Graham commented towards Leo as the two went upstairs towards their room. "But if you don't mind me asking you something I'd like to ask you this: What exactly do you fight for? Just for battle? Just for glory? Or is there something else in you that causes your flames and your heart to race?" Graham questioned inquisitively and casually. His blue eyes didn't judge Leo nor did they question him in the very least when Graham looked at him but then turned his head forward again after asking him that.

"So captain what is it you need us for exactly?" SIGMA Leader asked of Jason whom sat in his chair. "Tell me what exactly happened in your battle? I heard you fought an ORB Suit.." Jason said simply to Donna. "I want to know who did it...and did you notice anything off about this specific man." Jason asked as SIGMA shrugged, "Gold suit, looked like a gundam model. Donna would know more than I." Jason turned to the young girl and looked at her. "So? What happened Miss Donna? I'd like to know anything."

Donna thought about the opponent in the gold Gundam earlier. “The pilot was a man called Rondo, claimed to be a nobleman from ORB.” She recalled to the Captain. “He called his Gundam unit a Golden Astray. He seemed familiar with your OMNI Enforcer organisation.” It seemed like she keeps fighting nobleborn Mobile Suit commanders. Also, can informally add how he was very condenscending but moved to describe the Mobile Suit. “His Gold Astray unit seemed to have weaker armour compared to my Sandrock but had superior agility.” The Gundam pilot added. “As far as I can tell on weaponry, it has access to two beam sabers and a shield, but armour that can be dented with my shotels.”
