Mobile Suit Gundam: LIFELINE

HMS Nyx, Orbit above Venus

When Ayame got the news about their new deployment it was nice to get moving again,although she did want to head home but this whole situation was going from bad to worse and needed this to end quickly.....If only it was so easy as their target was the Butcher of Banzig ,the Pirate Cahtrida Hilda Stoker. Ayame knew the tale of the Pirate and knew of her skill, but Ayame felt that her skills in a mobile suit could match her...or at least she thought she was until the incident but she couldn't think about that, it was a setback nothing more.

As she mulled on her recent failure she got started on getting her own Tommy equipped with the it's Albatross Gear adding a Pair of WIG's onto its pauldrons leaving the other engineers to work on the other Tommy's as she liked to work on hers more often then not and she loved to keep her hands busy and get her mind off of many things. Once she finished her MS Preparations she gathered "her" squad the 122nd Direwolves, she kept the name as she was more or less a replacement CO to the squad and they trusted her as much as they trust their commander Victor Galahad. She got them around a holographic display of the Venus sphere to give them an update on their orders from on high,

"I know you all wanted to get some RNR, but thanks to certain events its gonna have to wait, while the unknown fighter damaged the colony there was a Pirate raid of Habitat 34," she pointed to both Annona colony and the Habitat in question both being pinged on the display

"Thanks to survivor testimony and Imperial intelligence we discovered the source of the Hijacking was of that of Cathrida Hilda Stoker, Butcher of Banzig. We discovered the Quantum Beaconon the Surface of Venus located here." pointing to the location on the planet were there was another ping

"Our orders are to discover whereabouts of the pirates by following the beacons co-ordinates, we will be working along side other Mobiles teams some of who may no like us Venusians and I know you all wont like them but keep that to yourself, if all goes well we will have the head of one of the more feared Pirate in less then forty eight hours so work hard and work fast and show them how the 122nd Direwolves get shit done!"

"Yes Ma'am" was the only thing the squad said as they broke to their MS, as they broke off she quickly changed into her flight suit patting her 122 Dire wolves patch on her shoulder a habit she has done since joining the Direwolves after the siege before making her way back to her Tommy Commander type getting ready for her time to shine.

Ayame watched in dismay as the Machine detonated inside the colony and could only watch as the mayhem that they should have stopped happened in front of then

"There's not much else we can do here, and we can't exactly scoop up people without EVA suits of our own. Best we head back before we get in too much more trouble." Victor said to Ayame through their personal comms, before he spun his own Tommy around and began flying back towards the main dock where the Nyx, and the rest of the royal procession sat.

Ayame sighed in defeat as she knew Victor was right there was nothing they could do as she followed behind him. She thought about what he said "A bit messier than I would've liked. We're not losing our edge are we?"

How long ago was it when they last had combat? A few months? A few years? Its been about four,five years since the Siege and the later mop up of pirates, and its not everyday you go up against an ancient aerospace fighter... Something to think about when she has the time.

Her thoughts brought her back inside the colony following behind Victor Parking their mobile suits inside the Hanger of ther Nyx, getting out of the machine she hailed down one of her squad-mates "How bad is it out there?" Ayame asked for an update,

"Pretty bad ma'am, the population is scared and their blaming the usual suspects, Pirates and the....Venusian's Ma'am." Collins responded very cautiously "It's looking like today's events seem to be canceled", as much as Ayame wanted to be ecstatic that she doesn't have to stand in formation for hours on end this was not something to be celebrating as part of the colony just got destroyed.

"Alright, get the squad to ready status for if things get worse, the colony is hurt and we will be required for her defense. Get the others and meet back here Collins, we are gonna have to prepare for a possible second attack" Ayame ordered the pilot who saluted and ran off as she went over to her machine.

'Maybe we should have had out machines in the Parade, maybe we would have taken it out before it even got to the colony wall. The normal Tommy has nothing when it comes to speed against those fighters'

Ayame growled, she was hoping this would work but seeing this machine still kicking was pissing her off but she noticed a burst of air,

"Boss it just cut into a maintenance section, its trying to get into the colony! We need to stop it now!" Ayame said to Victor as she decided to screw it and a little more damage to the colony wouldn't do more harm and opened fire with her Vulcans shooting burst fire and using her blade to cut through some of the larger chunks of debris still chasing after the machine while dodging the fire from the aircraft. She Also figure might as well go all out with another mills bomb but this one with a second timer as she tossed it towards the hole the craft just made, if she was gonna blind herself with if she would at least hope it would get the interceptor as well.

Ayame was in shock, this hunk of junk survived this entire barrage? "Are you fucking kidding me? It survived that?!"Ayame was pissed that it somehow survived that barrage of fire, and to top it off its close enough to do damage to the colony with a blade as debris flew off from the structure.

"Keep after it, herd it towards the far pole. I'll try to cut it off!" Ayame heard Victor call out,

"Already on it! Oh no you don't you hunk of junk! get back here!" Ayame yelled as she set her thrusters to max to try and keep up with this fighter, but with this being a normal Tommy and not her Commander type she can't keep up with it easily. The stress of a Tommy and full speed was hard on her body but it was nothing compared to her Tommy with the Albatross gear

"Use Mills bombs in flash configurations,"She heard Victor call out again,

"Good Idea, lets see here, good thing they didn't take out the Mills bombs" she thought out loud as she watch a Mills bombs detonated nearby the fighter with a flash of bright light as it happened she tossed her own bomb right afterward Victor's detonated not giving the pilot a chance to recover as it flashed in the same bright light as Victor's a few second later. After the Flash she readied her other Grenades ready to throw more if need be as she needed to see first if the flash grenades worked as she was started to fall behind the Fighter craft.

As soon as she made her statement she noticed an object turn and was racing towards the colony "Found it, getting a closer look with the camera... what the hell?! Its an ancient aerospace fighter! Its looks like its gonna ram into the colony,moving to intercept Boss!"Ayame said and speed off still nearby the colony wall, looking at the craft it looked like it survived time relatively well, she couldn't make out the marking as it was moving too fast for her to find out what kind it was which was a shame knowing she probably wont know as its gonna get destroyed either by ramming the colony which she wouldn't allow or be destroyed with flak fire which was more obvious.

Once she got to a point where she was in the path of the ancient craft she pulled out her Rifle took aim and with the help of the on board targeting opened up a volley of Heckler fire shooting until the entire magazine was empty.

Ayame sighed while he made his speech, she knew she shouldn't have said anything but she just hates waiting as its excruciating and it feels like time slows down to a crawl, and the siege for as bad as it was at least she could do something other then stand around waiting for the princess and her entourage. She barely paid any attention to the whole speech but him talking about not liking his title confused her, a title is a title even if was at the cost of friends its something the higher ups like to give out to special people, soon his speech came to an end and she sighed in relief again before getting recomposed "Your right sir, I shouldn't have said anything, I'm sorry"

---

After the one sided conversation she thought long and hard on what she should said but the thought was broken when Victor asked her a question "Ayame, which pilots are on parade duty right now?" Victor murmured as his eyes scanned the mobile suits. "Things may yet heat up after all. Keep close."

The question confused her but followed right behind him trying not to pay attention to the dirty looks they were giving them but was rght behind him non the less "I got three of our best, Daniels,Kernings,Collins,and Torren that you recommended be on duty....oh hey Torren" she said as she watched Victor pull Torren out from the Tommy he was in as she entered the Tommy next to Victor,
"Ayame Izmui moving out" she reported as they were sucked out into space.

Once they entered space she made sure her weapon was on hand, it was a nice looking weapon but she too only had had its mag in the weapon but she also had a saber which was good for her as she preferred melee combat but she was not a bad shot and followed victor towards the commotion.

"So we broke formation to see what the Ruckus is, alright you got any idea on what we are dealing with?"

Ayame was more of less holding her breath the entire time Gilbert scanned her and waited to do anything until after he left to do his duties Ayame let out a sigh of relief

"Gosh, it felt like he was staring into my soul." she said as she collected herself making sure she looked presentable even though she looked fine "Well then, after you signifer, I am way out of my element here and im afraid if i say anything i could anger a noble." and allowed him to take point as she followed behind him, she liked the fact she was here in Annona colony as this was her first time and was excited to be here but terrified that she would screw up so badly it would affect not only her but Victor as well which is were most of her Anxiety is coming from as she know if she screws up here it would look poorly for Victor as well.

'I honestly would rather be fighting back at the siege of Gibraltar then be here right now' she though to herself thinking about that day, 'Gosh has it been that long since the siege?' as she reminisced she took in the area trying not to lose herself and bump into someone but honestly she was looking for something to help with her anxiety of the whole situation.

Around the HMS Nyx

---

Outside the assault carrier was one mobile suit flying around ship, Ayame Izumi the HMS Nyx's black haired Venusian lead pilot was helping with the ships targeting system one last time to make sure the ship was ready for combat before landing in Annona Colony watching as the guns follow her around as she moved around the ship in her Tommy with the occasional chirping meaning she was locked on by the ship.

"Alright, everything is looking good here come on back in Izumi"

"Roger Bridge,I'll go in for one more fly by then head back."

"Don't take too long we got word from the captain, we are heading into the colony and we are going to be dealing with higher ups and nobles"

"Understood Bridge, making my final run now"

Ayame made her final run, but this time she had her focus on her home, the planet Venus her home planet. "Hello home, I hope to visit you soon." She did miss her home planet, even if the quality of life standards are dirt poor compared to being on Mars. Now she enjoyed her time on Mars as it was amazing, the fresh crisp air and so much green, a color she didn't know existed in abundance and trees as well, it was such a foreign thing for her. But she does miss the close urban environment of Gibraltar and was hoping to get some time off and visit her family for a few days having being years since she's been home, but first getting this Annona colony business out of the way and put her best foot and face forward.

"Alright enough sight seeing time to head back. This is Izumi, coming back aboard"

After finishing her sight seeing she made her way back towards the HMS Nyx but made a slight detour passing by the top observation deck zooming in seeing "her" Signifer Victor Ingram Galahad there, she wanted to do something to show she was there and say high but that would be a bit much and flying by might be good enough for Victor to watch as she made her way into the hanger finding her spot next to Victor's Knight Errant.

As soon as it was set into place she flew out of her Tommy's cockpit hurrying her way to her room nearly colliding into a pair of mechanics "Gah! Sorry, I'm in a hurry!" she yelled back at them as she exited the hanger and zoned towards her room so she shower and change into her dress uniform, she enjoys the look of it but sometime she wishes she could keep her hair down more often and finds it annoying to constantly putting into a bun or a ponytail but regulations are regulations and got it into a single bun in the back of her head "Alright, this is it, put your best you forwards Ayame. Its a simple job, look nice and don't mess up." she was getting herself into order, getting all the jitters out now so she can get herself calm and collected by the time they arrive into the colony.

Biography:

Born in the large Habitat of Gibraltar, his life was rough like most Venusian's and it didn't help he lived in the slums of the habitat. His early life was troubled with school and could never stay out of trouble. Being in a big family he was always around family and they always had fun doing things kids should never do, entering places they shouldn't and other dangerous things. At one point his oldest sibling dared him to pilot one of the mobile workers that a maintenance crew had left out, and he did with disastrous effect nearly destroying a wall section of the habitat that could have spaced their neighborhood. When it was found out he did it was was conscripted to work on many most of it by himself where only a middle aged man would give him advice on how to used the equipment. It took months but got most of the severe damaged fixed with minimal help from his “Teacher”, finding out he had a knack for using tools he stayed on with them dropping out of school which didn't please his parents straining their relationship.

Most of his teenage years was with the repair company he was more or less conscripted to with little basic education but at the age of 16 he could drive a car and handle most technical equipment, although some things like reading he was still and his academic education hampered his usefulness, but thanks to his aunt who worked at a local high school was able to get him tutored on his off time, there he met his soon to be girlfriend and wife who painstakingly tutored him to give him some sort of high school education. It may have not been an official education but it did the job for him and after awhile got himself mobile worker certified. When he turned twenty the two were married and had a child, Kennith Izumi or Ken/Kenny for short, things were going great for his life, he reconnected with his parents and family in general and got to know his nieces and nephews. But it all came crashing down when his wife died of lung cancer and could only watch as his love was slowly dying and her can only work day and night to help pay for the bills hoping she would survive, but she never did.

After the loss of his wife he became reclusive, handing Ken over to his family as he couldn't take care of him alone with his job but still tried to try to be there for his son. After some time he was able to get out of his reclusive state as he was promoted to an on site manager and had more free time to be with his son and Family helping Ayame in her studies to join the John Hoffman Outreach Program. He may have not liked it but she wanted to learn and make a better life for herself so he gave her a helping hand and watched her leave for mars.

After the siege of Gibraltar he was was was given a task to repair sections that were damaged during the siege. It required an all hands on deck so there was a mass hiring and his son joined him as a worker because he wanted to be like his dad, a hard workering repairman. It was during this time where he felt scared for his son, he wasn't sure why as he had him on an easy area. A few days later heard news about his son who was fell out of the habitat from an accident which then sent him back into his depression as not only did lose his son but job as he lost a mobile worker in the accident.

After the incident he spiraled back into his depression and started drinking, it got to a point where he was homeless as his family kicked him out. One night when he got black out drunk someone took him to a safe place and left him a book, he never knew who it was as when he woke up he was in a micro hotel with“ The Great Wrongs and the Dreadful Rights.” on his body. Whoever left him there also paid for a weeks stay and seeing as he had nothing better to do he read the book and it rang true for him and discovered he was among like minds and soon started listening in on Johanna's broadcast and soon had an idea.

meet up with Johanna who runs the weekly broadcast asked if he could do a weekly recording and broadcast of himself talking about the “The Great Wrongs and the Dreadful Rights.” were it took off within a certain group and built up his own following within the Mekon Movement. Once he got a following he decided to get his rebellion under way as his as he would become “The word of Mekon” and his group “The Sons of Mekon”, they started by hijacking the mobile workers from his older workplace which then turned into turn into raiding military convoys and at one point a military complex where they were able to get a couple redcoat mobile suits. But after their raids they soon went into hiding so the can plan their next move.

Skills and Abilities

Human Kai-the future of humanity: Thanks to being born in Venus he was heartier and more advanced compared to Martians and discovered he can see flashes of the future and seems to have a very high spatial awareness.

Mobile Worker Pilot: His job required him to use mobile workers so he has a lot of experience with it and thanks to his Venusian biology he can pull off dangerous maneuvers that Martians would pass out from.

Brass locket- Given to his wife as a gift for his eighteenth birthday, it contains a picture of his son and wife.

Strengths and Weaknesses

He is very charismatic using the anger of the Venusians as a tool to manipulate them and have him be one with the answer they seek to help build his sect of the movement and send them to wherever he want them as his own personal army even if it is small, because why fight yourself if you can have others do it for you?But he has joined most attacks against the Zern to rally the people against them.

His belief in “The Great Wrongs and the Dreadful Rights.” makes him very zealous and would do anything he would believe would be right even if it meant doing illegal acts like piracy or killing as its his duty to free the Venus Sphere from the Empire's grasp, he sees the book as holy scripture and the key to their freedom.

He is a recovering Alcoholic and at times gets himself into drinking binges as he is still mourning for his dead family, he hangs onto his locket as a reminder of what he is fighting for, if he were to lose it his final connection to his family would be severed and he could really lose himself and become something else.
