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

[vancexentan]

"Weren't you listening lady? You are suppose to come with us!" complained the OMNI soldier as Graham turned around and nodded. "He's correct I made a deal with them that I'd fight for them in exchange for us being saved. Besides not having a choice in the matter I'm now really interested in these other gundams." Graham said as Puru went to answer when a whistle came form a technician, "SIR we can't use the god damn suit. Not only is it partly fried but the damn thing has some sort of strange lock system. We'll need that little bitch we just put in the brig." complained the technician. A young looking individual answered him telling him that the'd deal with it later for now they'd need to fix the daggers. "Son of a gun...that's some fancy tech." Grant commented as he walked up to the group. He had changed out of his pilot suit and had decided to come back to check on everything done here. "You still here? The Captain wants all of you in the officer meeting room." Grant commented as the soldier in charge of the squad got up and glared at his fellow OMNI Soldier. "I didn't ask for your comments about us being lenient for these newbies. Fine you heard Alpha One or rather Ensign Nimitiz. Come on we got to see the first lieutenant and his men." the captain told them plainly as he went up to Graham but Graham simply smiled and nodded, "Of course I'd hate to go back on my word and I'm not some stooge. Lead the way I'm very interested in coming with you. Saturn, Puru come on." Graham said with a nod as the men grunted and started to lead the way. "Wow we get to meet the captain that's so cool! I hope he's less strict than Captain Bright." Puru said with a smile.

Instructor W finished writing the notes for repairs. He noticed how Donna was now looking at the new Mobile Suits. They didn't look like anything he know of either, also getting his interest. He walked to his pupil that stared at the rather bulky version of a Gundam. "So they aren't anything we know of?" He asked her.
Donna turned around and found her mentor. "Nothing I've seen before." She agreed.
The Instructor looked at how the Gundam unit was heavily armoured. "I believe this is used for heavy artillery?" He guessed.
The Sandrock's pilot shrugged. "I don't know." She simply replied.
The Instructor had an idea for Donna. "Why don't you interact with the pilots?" He suggested. "If they do join us then you need to cooperate with them."
Donna saw that he has a point. "Yes sir." She answered and left him to look at the Mobile Suits.

Donna found the three new people still there. She thought they would've seen the captain by now. If they're still there then she might as well interact with them. She walked to them. "Hi." She introduced. "Are you stranded in wherever we are like everyone else?"

[Arthanus]

Gabriel followed Paul and listened as the group went through their congratulations and talking, he took an open seat around the table and was going to wait for the meeting to start. Paul asked him about his fight, and SIGMA butted in giving his own recollection of the battle. When SIGMA suggested that the pilot had been better than Gabriel it sort of struck a nerve, but Gabriel didn't snap back at him just yet, "Well as SIGMA said, it was a Black Gundam Unit, with some sort of stealth system. Newtype pilot with some skill, but easy enough to rattle and throw him off. The suit had some fun toys that caught me off guard at first, but nothing to serious. Lost my suits arm creating an opening for that artillery unit to get a shot off that forced the Gundam to retreat in stealth, and my shot to disable the fleeing suit missed due to the stealth System." Gabriel said, not giving to many details of the mind game that a Newtype vs Newtype battle was knowing most of the pilots in the room wouldn't understand. "But hay at least it took an Ace to damage my suit and I wasn't disabled by some random grunts." He shot back at SIGMA with a small grin. Although it was sort of a low blow, SIGMA had already taken a shot at Gabriel's pride as a pilot and this was just payback.

[Stern Algorithm]

"Ensign Grant Nimitz, sir," Saturnalia spoke up, "The commandeered suit, I know how to activate it, so there will be no need to bring the prisoner back out." At Graham's prompting, Saturnalia followed their escort to the meeting room.

[vancexentan]

"Oh I'm sorry which one of us is piloting the mass produced grunt suits buddy and which one of us is piloting to super armored prototype suit. I may not be on the lieutenant's level but I'm sure as hell on yours buddy. Besides those things ambushed me and I'm lucky I got out of there with a broken suit." counter SIGMA aggressively as Paul slammed his fist into the table, "I will not have my forces arguing you understand me!? I don't have time to play the group's nurse's aid and bring you down to see Wilbur. Do we look like a group of eighth graders?" Paul questioned them as SIGMA grunted. "Sir I think he misunderstood me there was another suit there piloted by another guy. That other suit I think it was Blitz." SIGMA said as Paul's eyes widened for a second before he could catch himself and he calmed himself down quickly, "Impossible Blitz...Blitz was taken out of active service due to severe damages years ago. Unless...." Paul considered the possibilities as he wondered as he looked at Gabriel and then at the door as it opened and the group was ushered in there.

"HEY NO PUSHING!" Puru growled as Paul looked at them with displeasure. "And here we go again." Paul grumbled to himself as Puru looked at Paul, "Oh you were the guy who saved us right?" Puru said going over to Gabriel she smiled at him widely and grinned, "Thanks for that Mr. Lieutenant sir!" she said as SIGMA Leader was clearly fighting back laughter. "No that would be me." Paul said calmly though it hurt his ego a bit. "Wha? But he has newtype powers too so I guess...Oh I'm so sorry Mr. Black Star! It's just that I expected someone more older lookin' is all. I didn't mean to disrespect you at all. Also you look a bit scary." Puru admitted as SIGMA clapped a hand over his head and put it down on the table much to Paul's annoyance. "Whatever your welcome just sit down before you mistake SIGMA leader for Captain Jason." said Paul firmly as he noticed Graham picking a seat right next to his as the man looked intently at Paul. Paul pulled back a bit in return, "Can I help you?" Paul asked him as Graham grinned, "I like the look of you friend. You got the look of a guy who's done some fighting and I respect that. No offense to the other guys but you don't look like a war veteran which is a bit more interesting is all. I can tell you two have done your share of fighting." Graham commented with a grin as he turned to face the other two. While he did that SIGMA looked at Puru who plopped herself down loudly next to Gabriel as she looked at him with curiosity.

"Interesting...." commented another voice as Paul stood up quickly and saluted, "COMMANDING OFFICER ON DECK!" Paul called loudly as SIGMA jumped up as Beta Leader walked in with Jason. Jason took a slow walk to the chair looking over everyone in the room at the moment. "At ease Lieutenant Black Star. At ease everyone." Jason said as he sat down and balled his left hand and put his right over it. He rested his chin on his hands as he looked about the room. His gaze was steely and blank as if he was reading a boring book. "Well then we have new members here. I already know Mr. Graham Aker of the Union who owns the rank of Captain of the Flag Fighters Unit whatever unit that may be is unknown to me but Captains in OMNI are valued heavily." Jason commented as he pointed at his three best pilots: Beta, Sigma, and Paul Lyons who commanded the now mostly missing OMEGA squad.

"So then what is your name my dear ladies?" commented Jason casually as if he were asking about the name of a person he didn't just save and more like he was just passing them at the park. "I'M ELPEO PURU! I'm a member of the Anti-Earth Union Group whose goal is to stop all corruption on Earth....or at least that's what Mr. Bright told me that was it." Puru said as SIGMA recoiled a bit and looked at her with suspicion. Paul keep his cool but he wondered what the hell she was as he felt the weird feeling coming from her as Beta chewed on his lip a bit nervously.

[Stern Algorithm]

"Ensign Saturnalia Noelle, sir," she said, introducing herself and saluting. "I am affiliated with an as yet unnamed United Nations task force dedicated to the eradication of terrorism and the maintenance of peace and order." Saturnalia hoped that despite all these strange faction names being tossed around, the legitimacy and universality of The UN would give everyone a common starting point of discussion. "I was fortunate that an esteemed allied ace such as Captain Aker found me while I was stranded in this strange location."

[Arthanus]

Gabriel almost laughed as SIGMA claimed to be on his level, but he didn't want to make things worse as it seemed that the pilot was already flustered. He wanted to point out that his suit was also a mass produced unit but adding salt to the wound wouldn't help his standing with the crew at all. He listened to the information that the group had on the black suit and just had wished SIGMA had said something about the suits capabilities during the battle, but then again it was clear to Gabriel that SIGMA didn't really like him much. When the next group of pilots entered the room Gabriel was caught off guard as the young girl came to him thanking him for her rescue. "Sorry Miss, but I am not the Lieutenant. Gabriel Cross at your service." he said to her with a grin. He didn't really take offence to the comments about him being old, because lets face it he was old compared to the other pilots in the room. When the Captain joined in Gabriel stood and gave a salute knowing he was officially part of the crew and that would be protocol. After Gabriel took his seat he listened to the meeting going on, and although it seemed that some others were surprised by Puru's former allegiance it didn't phase him much. The girl seemed honest enough and wherever this place was. It didn't seem that your previous factions and beliefs meant much.

[vancexentan]

"United Nations and me being refereed to as an esteemed ace rather than some hot head huh? Either your from the future or I'm living in the past because the place I come from is not under some 'United Nations'; group. I'm already acquainted with you Captain but I'd rather not be the odd man out. I'm Captain of the Flag Fighters Elite Unit and my name is Graham Aker. I'm affiliated from the eastern seaboard sectors near Washington normally but I see combat most everywhere." Graham commented as Jason nodded. "Then it seems we have a rather interesting group of character wouldn't you say so my dear Lieutenants?" Jason asked as Beta Leader spoke up, "Sir the girl is from an Anti-Earth Union for god sakes do you really think she's a friend of ours?" Beta Leader said directly to the point as SIGMA for once in his life nodded and agreed with Beta. However Puru herself puffed up her cheeks and stood up, "HEY don't be mean I'm on your side guys. Mr. Bright told me himself that the group was formed to originally take down rogue elements inside of the Earth's military whom were turning it into some crazy new government or whatever. To honest I wasn't paying attention really and Glemy never really told me much 'bout anything. But make no mistake I don't wanna hurt you guys anymore than I want to hurt Mr. Aker. And even though he's scary Mr. Black Star over there saved my life and the lives of my two friends over there....even if one is a meany..." Puru said as Jason chuckled and smiled. "Alright Puru I'll believe you until proven otherwise. And as for you Mr. Aker you are a valued addition to our team. A man with your experience could prove incredibly useful even if your flag is a bit....antiquated. I'm assuming that that mobile suit is what a 'flag' is unless it's just a fancy name." Jason asked casually as Graham confirmed that it was called a flag and that he'd outright refuse to pilot anything other than a flag. Paul admired the dedication of a man to his mobile suit but....it was also foolish. That suit was garbage even standard daggers were a match for something like that thing. it was a miracle that he survived this engagement or he was stupidly lucky. Jason in turn confirmed that they were also from the Eastern Seaboard near Washington which made Graham proclaim that they were, in a sense, brothers-in-arms.

Jason then turned to Saturnalia, "You. I'm sorry for ignoring you but I was curious about Miss Puru over there. When I saw you from the bridge, and even before then I saw that beam you nearly killed that woman, you referred to as Nena Trinity. I must say that your suit runs on a power source alien to us. Much like Mr. Akers neither of them runs on an energy battery. So I'm going to be perfectly honest with you right here and now; it's up to you if you believe this or not: I have no idea what The United Nations is unless you're referring to the collective known as OMNI Enforcer and since you don't wear a uniform like ours I'm assuming your from the PLANTs if not than....than I am starting to consider a thought brought up earlier....that you could be from some alternate world from our own." Jason said seriously as Paul grunted, "As crazy as it sounds you're right. I've never thought to see some mobile suit, of gundam design no less, run on freaking particles or generate something like that. I've heard rumors of a space traveling suit that has similar set up but it runs on solar power not an energy generator and it shouldn't be able to generate that much power unless it was much more advanced. Hell I bet a direct hit from that mega cannon over there could wipe out half a battalion of daggers and severely damage the Sundown. Whatever that suit is. It's certainly either of top secret design or it's completely different tech from our own. I doubt ZAFT has gotten that far ahead of us to make this and some indie faction doesn't have shit on the resources we have on Earth." Paul proclaimed as Beta Leader nodded, "The big man has the right of things crazy as it sounds." he admitted simply.

[Stern Algorithm]

"Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with OMNI, or PLANTS, but I assure you, my allegiance is to the UN, and any UN affiliated countries," Saturnalia paused and decided to explain the UN, crazy as it sounds, "The UN was established by the five allied nations after WW2, it is the only legitimate world government..." She trailed off. This was going nowhere."Well, now that I have your attention, I might as well answer some questions. My suit, The Virtue, and Trinity's suit, the Throne Drei, use similar reactors, known as Solar Furnaces, or GN Drives. They run off of GN particles. The furnaces do replenish the particles themselves, but require energy to do so. Yes, my suit is top secret, and I may be revealing more information than I should, but if I expect you to trust me, I need to be more open and truthful. That being said, I have two high-priority requests.

One: as you all have noticed, The Virtue is an amazing artillery unit, and is in fact, capable of taking out an entire battleship on its own if used properly. In order to add this asset to your arsenal, I need energy from your ship. With my instruction, an engineer can build a power conduit to fit the GN Drives. With the threat of limited power removed, I can take more offensive actions during combat without having to worry about conserving my GN Particles. By the way, I am the only person the suit will accept as its pilot. The only other person who may be able to break the lock that is in place is Trinity herself, which brings me to my next request.

Two: Trinity must either be detained indefinitely or executed. In no way should you grant her any clemency. She is an international criminal and terrorist, having slaughtered civilians and done much damage to the nations of Earth. She is also highly intelligent and resourceful, giving her any freedom will result in your ship being sabotaged and members of your crew being killed. Question her if you must, but she is highly uncooperative at the best of times."

Saturnalia took a breath, to let her words sink in.

"I don't mean to make demands of the ship or the captain, these are merely requests, and if you will grant them, I will happily follow Captain Aker's example and pledge myself to this ship, at least, until I am able to reestablish contact with my superiors."

[Sugihito]

Instructor W saw Donna return earlier than he thought. "You were quick." He remarked as he placed his checklist of repairs on the crate with an OMNI logo nearby.
Donna took a seat on another crate. "They just went to speak with the captain." She explained, a bit disappointed.
The Instructor couldn't say much. "Priorities I think." He gave his comment. "It's no doubt that the captain wants to speak to every friendly they find here before we have a chance. It's in exchange for the hospitality they've given us."
The Gundam pilot thought about the earlier battle. While the enemies she fought were made short work of the next forces she will encounter can be as strong as the party she's with. She hopes to find someone with a connection with Naina at least to give the bad news even if fought in opposing sides. She got her canteen of water out and drank with no idea of what's going to happen anytime.

[vancexentan]

"Sir what the hell is this girl smoking because I want some. GN particles? Gundams that weren't known by the lieutenant over there, the little man knows EVERYTHING there is to know about most gundams, and this United Nations? I really think she did something when in that suit." Beta Leader said incredulously as he chuckled as Paul frowned at him but then looked at Jason, "Sir with all due respect those drives are different technology but there is no such thing as GN particles unless they're hype advanced. She knows Graham Aker who pilots a suit powered by solar power, something that must be insanely expensive per unit, and this United Nations sounds exactly like an OMNI Enforcer give or take a couple years. I don't know what to think of this. She could be full of shit or she could be telling more truth than I know of. Draw it Captain." Paul said practically giving up on making sense on all of this. Between Gabriel, the now deceased Peacecraft girl, and the other two down stairs along with Puru and Graham this whole ordeal was not going to let him go out of this room without breaking some law of reality in order to understand what is happening. "Uh I don't get it." Puru said confused as she scratched her head.

Jason sighed deeply and nodded slowly. What exactly did all of these stories have in common? Little. Next to little in fact the only things he got together were that everyone here had been unconscious when he asked the first few visitors to the ship. Now there were even more unaccountable stories. It was all one big quagmire that he wasn't able to fully put into a logical situation. He quickly came to his first matter of business however as he put his hands down flat on the table and looked at Saturn, "Look young lady I hope you understand what you three are putting me into. My crew and I would all individually tell you I haven't THE faintest clue about most of what you just said. However I can guarantee you one thing: Nena Trinity shall remain a captive and be kept alive unless food is needed in which case she will be executed for the sake of the crew of this ship. Bargaining chips are always a help and she is bound to have allies out there we can use to our advantage who want her back. Besides if Paul wasn't there she could have ended up killing entire squads of soldiers with that damn neutralizer particle generator you call a GN Drive or whatever it was. As for your own suit...I must inform you that I already have men checking it out. Unfortunately due to news that Nena's was biologically locked it means I will need you to activate the thing in order to build anything for that. I promise you we haven't done anything to the suit just trying to make sure those damn suits don't turn out electric powered suits into hunks of useless metal due to prolonged exposure to the particles and or screw with this ship, which I must add is in itself a war crime. It is powered by a nuclear engine and has a piece of equipment we took from ZAFT that cancels out anything that can powered unclear weapons or suits. Now that I have told you this you must know where I come from the use of Nuclear Powered military weapons is strictly prohibited. However war is about breaking the rules to succeed." Jason said as Paul glared at Jason,

"Why did you tell them this? We're war criminals walking around free practically now that they know that. Not that that matters now that we're clearly nowhere in OMNI territory or we'd be near a base by now." Paul said bitterly as Jason shrugged, "Because I want her to trust me. I want all of them to trust me. And seeing as she and Graham Aker have practically volunteered themselves for the OMNI Conscription Protocol, which takes civilians or military contractors and 'recruits' them into active soldiers that means we have new allies...or new enemies we need to keep really close. Besides who are they going to tell? ZAFT? Zeon? Some other faction? This ship is nearly impregnable unless something heavy is used against it. They can tell everyone they want about this but they don't know the location of the core, or how to get to it. Nor can they gain anything from knowing it because we have you here Black Star. I trust you and all of my men to protect your fellows with your lives. I'd be suicide at best to take on all of you when your back is turned. Besides Gabriel here has a vested interest in keeping this ship safe. If we die he's stranded near a giant nuclear powered ship unless he goes craven and runs away before the ship even get's near critical which I don't think he even has in him. I've only known him for a couple of days but a coward doesn't go and risk his life against enemy mobile suits and rush in with a broken suit to help strangers." Jason commented simply as Puru piped in unexpectedly, "Well I guess I am to. I don't know what conscription meant until now but hey if it's good enough for those two it's good enough for me. I'll be the best soldier EVER!" Puru said with bravado even if it was uneasy bravado. She was trying to be brave. "Like I have another option anyways? I don't care where you're from if you're my ally than you are my ally. I don't think you're a bad man Captain sir. As long as you can keep my suit working and keep everything moving steadily I'm your man until I can find my own officers. And I'm not one to shoot you in the back so don't worry about that. A Flag Fighter is not a person who can just back down from his word. I'm with you." Captain Graham Aker said as he pounded his chest much to Beta Leader's annoyance and SIGMA's disgust.

[Stern Algorithm]

Saturnalia simply ignored Beta Leader's ignorant comment; as an Innovator, she felt secure in her mental superiority. In reply to Captain Jason Hiyan's questions, she replied, "I accept your decision concerning Trinity. As for the dangers posed by GN drives, I can assure you that while The Virtue uses an authentic drive and is thus clean, the Throne Drei uses a counterfeit drive, and GN particle beam attacks from such dirty methods of particle generation have been shown to cause poisoning to humans. The difference is visibly apparent, The Virtue generates a green glow while the Throne generates a red glow. While the Throne is deactivated, you don't need to worry about the dangers. I don't mind that you have engineers inspecting The Virtue, I trust that it will keep its secrets. As for the Throne, I agree to aiding you in unlocking it and ultimately, in dismantling it, though I cannot guarantee that I can convert it's GN Drive into a clean one."

When the captain mentioned nuclear powered suits, Saturnalia was a bit concerned, the three major hegemonies, Union, the HRL, and the AEU, had all switched to clean solar; only rogue nations continued to use nuclear power and petroleum. Yet if they were part of a rogue nation, they would have clearly denounced the UN, and probably have killed her and Graham already. She decided to keep these thoughts to herself.

"Actually," Saturnalia added, "about the OMNI conscription protocol, even though I said I'd happily follow Captain Aker's example, I won't blindly agree to something until I know the full terms. One should never accept a contract without reading the fine print."

[vancexentan]

"We'll see what happens with the throne gundam. for now all I'm concerned about is you." Jason said moving his hand in a waving motion towards Saturn. "As for the conscription protocol....I'll re-read it verbatim from what I told the group from yesterday. There is to be NO acess to the bridge, communications room, medical bay, or kitchen, the part that holds the food supplies not the table area which is fine, without my permission or Black Star's first. I'm sure I am not being too forward in my limitations. Now moving on first off for those whom want to be directly affiliated with us there is the option of conscription. It had been revoked in the past due to complications but was reinstated some years ago in order to effectively fight battles in Pro-ZAFT South America. You will be given the same duties as the rest of us and you will be recognized as a member of the Earth Alliance Military and given all the rights and securities that go along with being a soldier of OMNI. You listen to me and I promise I WILL not betray you. I expect loyalty and resolve from my soldiers because that's what I give to them. This is my most....unpleasant option because I dislike the policy entirely as a personal matter is directly linked to it." Jason said plainly and it was practically word for word the same little story he gave Gabriel and the other two the day before.

Well then now there's option number two: You simply work as an independent ally of ours in which you're more or less free to do as you like and I will be even more generous in the fact that you need not do chores around the ship. However you WILL fight when I say so or you will be kicked off the ship. Likewise crewmen and crew women are prioritized over you. I quite frankly can't feed you over my own officers and I refuse to give a room to a person who doesn't pull their weight. In other words you come second but you need not submit to the will of 'the man' if you so desire or if it conflicts with your own sense or morals." Jason said sarcastically as if he was just humoring the last part. Paul really didn't think he'd actually go word for word the same damn thing he said before. "Finally: Leave. If you don't like the options go off on your own I'm sure someone else would be more than willing to help you out there if don't like my given options. That's if you can find someone to help you there is no life signs anywhere within the nearby radius. Because that Glemy fellow seemed like an outstanding individual feeding his own men into the gutter like that. We have sent out signals for any OMNI units nearby to come to us but we have yet to receive a reply. Now on the counter side you could ask me why should you trust me. Well for the fact that I have two shotgun armed soldiers outside the door that I could have ordered them to shoot you as soon as you exited your cockpits. I also allowed you in my ship. I also made sure that you didn't get murdered by a massive barrage of those 'Zeon' soldiers, and I also didn't make you go to the brig like some common brigand, and am offering you food, a place to sleep, and a multiple choice option between three choices is more than most people would give you. If it means anything I will go ahead and tell you my name. Jason. Jason Hiyan is my name now time to choose what will be your choice." Jason said as he leaned back on his chair and looked at Gabriel with a smile, "See I told that I was going to repeat it near verbatim." He said with a chuckle.

[Stern Algorithm]

Saturnalia considered the offer for a moment, then replied, "I'm not ready to alter my allegiance just yet, so I would prefer option two and keep my independence even if I have to sacrifice living amenities and crew priority to do so. However, as strange as this may sound, I have no intention of loafing around your ship, so I would like to volunteer for chores so that I may pull my weight and take my share of the burden. 'He who does not work, neither shall he eat', as the saying goes. I also agree to fight when ordered, but if contact is made with...well...anyone who actually knows of the nations that I am familiar with, besides Captain Aker, I hope that I am allowed the right to return to my proper allegiance, but I promise that I will make no hostile action towards the ship or crew upon my return unless hostile action is taken by the ship or crew to prevent my return."

Saturnalia took a deep breath and hoped the Captain would accept her final condition. She didn't need a room, she could stay in the Virtue and stretch her legs in the hangar if need be. It was a spartan lifestyle, but one she would be able to cope with as an Innovator. She was reminded of the ancient Chinese epic, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the part where General Guan Yu, who was loyal to his lord, Liu Bei, but they were separated after a battle, and Guan Yu joined temporarily, their enemy, Cao Cao for a short period before he caught wind of his lord's whereabouts and returned.

[vancexentan]

"So at least she isn't some slob right captain?" SIGMA Leader commented as Beta Leader remained silent. Jason himself nodded his head as he sighed, "I forgot to put that part in didn't I. I apologize the recent days haven't exactly been kind to my state of mind. You're free to leave our service however you must contact us before hand otherwise you'd be labelled a deserter. That goes for both choices. Basically we can't let conscripts go running about wherever they please and we need to know when we're leaving mercenaries off the per-verbal pay list. You want out you tell us first or we expect the worst is happening. If you want chores then I will assign you them most of them will be cleaning duties such as around the halls. We don't expect new comers to go into our bathrooms and our kitchens to clean up after us like some house maid." Jason commented. "The OMNI Enforcer High Ups may not like that I am not bringing back a machine like yours and Mr. Aker's and Puru's but at the very end of the day we can still bring back Trinity's since seeing as you removed it's legs you won't be making a very convincing get away with it unless you destroy it. And that's pretty unlikely unless you've got some serious room and that's what you don't have with that giant ass cannon your suit carries around." Jason said as Graham stepped up, "That man's been awfully quiet over there. What's his deal? Got nothing to say?" Graham asked of Gabriel as he placed his hands on the top of the desk and look over at him while leaning forward.

[Arthanus]

Gabriel listened to the conversation taking in everything. The talk of GM particles was interesting, but he didn't really have anything to add in as Jason explained the options of alliance Gabriel thought to himself that Jason should just make a recording of this little speech to play any time that they saved some poor soul wherever they are. But Saturnalia's decision didn't really surprise Gabriel she did seem like a very independent person. And when things seemed to be calming down and wrapping up Graham spoke up pointing out Gabriel to talk. "Not much for me to say Mr. Aker. I'm just a conscript like you. I'll pull my weight as I have shown and help wherever I can, but all this talk of who is doing what, my side is already decided and I will fight for this ship. Aside from that not much said here today really effects me. These nations, factions and even technologies that have been talked about mean nothing to me who came from a dead world. And as with each time I say that it must seem that I am just that much more crazy I have decided to stay out of the whole talk about it." He said to Graham answering his question and speaking his mind.

[vancexentan]

"Fair enough I suppose-" Graham started before Jason whistled rather loudly and then waited for a moment before speaking. "Now I understand that you are ALL very much under stress and are wanting to get more things out into the open. However with the verbal agreement signed I will give the guards outside the door permission to use the bedrooms assigned to you. You will be rooming with the pilot of Sandrock, Miss Saturnalia. Puru will be rooming with my communications officers Baker and Williams both of which are named the same except with the C and K being interchangeable between the two and that name being C/Katherine. Graham Aker will be staying down the hallway from me and Lyons. I don't believe Mr. Gabriel needs company after what has witnessed today. Now then dismissed. If you have more questioned feel free to ask me or Lieutenant Black Star Lyons." Jason said as he got up and the various OMNI soldiers in the room saluted Jason. Paul was the first to leave the room followed by Aker who said he wanted to check up on his flag and see how it was working. Puru hummed a tune to herself waiting to see who would take her. Beta and SIGMA Leaders both exited the room together talking about squad on squad combat with possibly alien suits to them.

[vancexentan]

-DOUBLE POST-

[Stern Algorithm]

Satrunalia walked up to Black Star and stated, "Well, the captain said to ask you for any questions." She had her misgivings about the man; he seemed brash and arrogant. "Can you show me to your chief engineer? As I mentioned, my suit needs to recharge, so if a cable of sufficient voltage could be routed to The Virtue's GN Drive on its back, I can pull up the schematics for a connector so your engineers can start machining it ASAP, and The Virtue should be up and running hopefully before the next battle."

[Arthanus]

With the meeting over Gabriel watched the others leave, he was in no real rush to get to working on his suit because he knew the work would take quite a while and a few minutes wouldn't change that. He looked over at the Captain, "you know you should just make a recording of that whole conscription speech. If we keep picking up new suits like this after every deployment it might come in handy and save you some time." He said jokingly to the captain. He would sit and chat with the captain or even Puru for a bit before going out to the hanger to start on the repairs of his suit.
