However, Tensions upscale as the persecution of the Archangel. Bolstened by official council orders to capture the vessel reaches its grasp closer and closer to Earth. Wherein Frieden may find. Things are not quite as he had left them almost a year ago.
>>6462500You maintain recollection of the data you've been trying to keep in mind for the past few days...Of course, not quite succesful as piloting, as the red-stamped sheet of paper attest."We'll try this next week, At least you can keep a conversation stilted." Nicol commented to keep your expectations up as you leant back on your bunk."Or your Japanese sucks and you should ask me, Your more experienced Ace to take over that Green-Frame investigation" Miguel let his pride flaunt as you shrugged him off."Margellan would rather break your neck than let you touch something genuinely one-of-a-kind. You haven't exactly the best track record recently..." You punch a bit at his mettle only for him to groan."I'm fighting A G-Weapon piloted by a Coordinator Soldier, cut me some slack!" He does however, good-naturedly smile as he looks upon his watch "Hey, We're nearing the resupply point in a bit."Nicol perks up noticeably as you move away from your bunk to the airlock "You think Dearka and Athrun remembered about it?" the question seems to rest over them both to the rather dour mood the Vesalius has found itself over Rusty's recent burial rites."Athrun'll catch up, Yzak will drag Dearka out of the Buster anyway." Miguel reasons enough before he opens the airlock "We going or what? Maier seemed excited once you mentioned that vantage point to earth."It wasn't a raw point anymore, You'd learned enough that fussing over her recruitment coinciding with Rusty's Funeral was only clerical mistiming... but Athrun has had to find his silent grieving interrupted by a girl dropped right by his bunk and Dearka, who was closest amongst the group with the fallen Ace has found it increasingly hard to reason with her as anything other than a cruel replacement.The mood was only more solemnly miserable by the fact Maier was a fresh Redcoat from January's graduation wave and carried with her that level of inexperience in field office."Hey all! I'm here!" Your internal musings are interrupted as the Airlock of the secondary observation deck opens, Tiaran already prim and proper waiting by you three as she waved, Nicol forcing a smile and Miguel focusing on her uniform once again."What's with the skirt?" Miguel prodded once again on the unusual addition to the uniform, a Short, Pink skirt that called ahead to his veterancy instinct to berate."Oh, It's En-vogue! Girls at the academy were skirting some special-" She excitedly rambled yet another tirade justifying it as Miguel shook his head."And it's against regulation." Miguel acquiesced to being the officer in the scenario.
>>6462502"It's... not?" Nicol interjected as you would seem to slightly recognize his slant rationalization "While the uniform code regulations were inherited from ZAFT's day as a police force, The exactments of their execution ultimately rest on our unit's Commander... And I doubt Captain Le Creuset is disavowing his mask."That seemed to have made Tiaran raise an eyebrow as her bangs lightly crested from the low-geavity environs "Huh... I had that question myself. What kind of Face does Captain Le Creuset hide with that mask?"Tiaran's question coincided with Athrun, Yzak and a soon-frowning Dearka to arrive, as you stared away into the observation deck, yet listened intently."Well, Maier. that's a fun question to ask... Because nothing good has come from anyone pursuing such."It began quite simply, that Le Creuset had primarily earned the right to don his mask with sheer accomplishment."During ZAFT's early days... were you REALLY going to tell the Soon-to-Be White Phantom to pull it off?" Miguel illustrated as he recounted off Le Creuset's excellent training track record, Graduating Naval Officer and Basic Training at the same time and juggling responsibilities as early as C.E 65 in the development of the Proto-GINN. "He was exemplary and still remains so. The best of us... But some people are quite curious, despite knowing curiosity killed the cat."The dramatic retelling of one Acquaintance of Miguel growing too curious and managing to peek under the mask only to find himself deceased in his next deployment makes a bearing that he quite unsubtly pushes as one thing. A Curse."Creepy..." Tiaran shivers in mock before putting a confident grin "But I can handle a killing curse as one of ZAFT's best-!""Don't finish that." Dearka shushed her succinctly as the idiom she chose moderately resembled something Rusty would have said in response "Still find it hard to believe but one of our former wingmen had seen Le Creuset without his mask... You remember McConnor, Frieden?"You make a subtle Pass as you still watched at the observation window... There was a very specific reason you wanted everyone to see their first peek at the earth and Margellan facilitated the calculations for the best snapshot of it to come here... at least, before expecting to see it under heavy fire.The Archangel no doubt had managed to receive support from the 8th Space Fleet of O.M.N.I-Enforcer and this unplanned supply run was scheduled in accordance to the heavy opposition to be expected as the Archangel nestled around Earth's orbit.Even if Margellan didn't like it due to its Impromptu nature... you find yourself glad to have that little bit of extra support, In particular. resupplying the new captain of the Gamow. Leonidas Zellman. A man you'd come to meet and find yourself vastly more secure on than Rollo's more gloryseeking style of captaincy.
>>6462503You see a hint of Blue across the cosmos pitch dark expanse and call everyone according to it.[ https://files.catbox.moe/6s21m9.mp3 ]You'd seen it before, making your exit out from Panama's Mass Driver. The Sight of Earth from space itself.But the sight that Nicol and Tiaran pressing themselves closer to the glass, Dearka and Athrun widening their eyebrows to it and Yzak and Miguel confidently smirking to the blue cradle of humanity makes your planning for this worth every second."I've seen this before when I was young but... But I've forgotten how majestic the sight is." Athrun speaks honestly entranced by the planet as Miguel claps."By the way, Asking just in case. Athrun you don't particularly care for your CGUE-?" Miguel's question is dodged as an announcement from the Vesalius's interspeakers announces the estimated arrival of the resupply ships by 5 minutes from now."Oh, They probably have the parity modules for my GINN!" Tiaran pushed herself from the glass window as she made her way to the Hangar "Yzak, you said your mother had a special package for you in this one, Right?" The girl innocently revealed as Yzak frowned and blushed at the same time."Well, I didn't tell you for you to said it outloud, Maier!" He replied, covering his own embarrassment with bluster as he moved on with the newest of the squad.>Join Yzak and Tiaran at the Hangar to receive the newest support packages for mobile weapons>Maintain a relaxed day in preparation of the coming operation against the Archangel and 8th fleet. Athrun and Miguel can help you coordinate that.>Keep Dearka and Nicol in company, One is the most affected by the low morale, the other got the sepulchral unit of Rusty destroyed in a gambit that didn't yield much.>Write-In
>>6462508>Keep Dearka and Nicol in company, One is the most affected by the low morale, the other got the sepulchral unit of Rusty destroyed in a gambit that didn't yield much.
Nicol moves side to side, an audible liquidy squishing noise is heard."Uhhh, guys, I think I just shit myself"The smell invades the nostrils of everyone within her immediate vicinity, and they all in unison stare right into her eyes.
>>6462508>>6462599>>6464281You didn't hike up your pace as Yzak and Tiaran left, floating towards the Hangar bay.Neither did you make anything but a passing nod as Miguel mentioned the Nemo would probably recall him for inventory counting due to Margellan's nature, Taking Athrun alongside him to discuss something.But you did stay noticing Dearka's brow slightly furrowing as he was left amongst you and Nicol. Staring intently at the passing reflection of the earth as Nicol pulled themselves back."The animals of this... This mudball... They killed Rusty and Matthew." The harsh contrast over his earnest surprise to the planet to the reality that you'd be moving closer and closer to the main holdings of the Alliance is as truthfully pensive as it is deserving wariness."We still... I hope we can capture the Archangel or the Strike's pilot." Nicol tries to reason in a better attempt to sway the topic away from the deaths in the squad, something Dearka took irk to as his brow was now deeply settled."And then what? Nicol. We're fighting a regiment of Renown even in the Alliance's graces... I'm not bearing on losing anymore lives but we aren't coming off clean from this op." Dearka's rationalization of the inherent dangers of the operation aren't mirrored in Nicol."We have the G-Weapons." The statement sounded off alien in Nicol's words. the normally reserved and calculatedly calm young man instead positively brimming the confidence of wielding a weapon superior to everything the 8th Fleet could afford to push."Yeah... And they have a projected field advantage." Dearka wasn't gung-ho or excited in any measure. He was someone weighing the fact the fight would take far more than what the previous skirmishes with the Archangel alone had demanded "I'm going to the Shooting Range. I need to-"
>>6465311"You can't just put on your earmuffs and isolate yourself in that range!" Nicol suddenly stepped in as you considered standing by for him as Dearka's frown was dispelled by surprise "We've been to Junius Seven... I know I destroyed Rusty's last living memory but... But-"You had tried to think of something to have them both line-up. Dearka had other things to say."Yes, we've been to Junius Seven. and what did they do?! They ripped apart chunks of it like Souvenirs and kidnapped the girl who only wished to sing for the dead!" Dearka marched closer, pushing Nicol away as the young man croaked out a whimper, suddenly uncertain by Dearka's mounting anger "Face it! After The Bloody Valentines. These Natural dogs see us as nothing but indignant squabblers made to be crushed under their heel! They used nuclear weapons and we decided to-!"You had to stop and place yourself between them both as Dearka balled up his fist in frustration "Official sources of the Alliance had condemned the attack and the use of nuclear-"Your sensibility to the case just irks Dearka further as he turned behind himself with fury "What would you know? Natural?" Delivered chillingly, Dearka makes his way towards the exit airlock as he looks back one last time "We got them right in the end... The N-Jammers. disarmed and powerless. Like the Animals they are."That left you with a chilling thought as you faced the earth from the observation deck's window... You left before the deployment of the Neutron-Jammers into space..."I'm sorry for ruining the moment, Frieden." Nicol manages to utter a needless apology as you wave him off "But... it is true, The media has tried to embellish it... But when we dropped the N-Jammers on April. It is true the world lost its main source of energy overnight."You hide the uncertainty that filled you as you imagine the voids in your imagination from the reality of Earth after the April Fools Catastrophe...
>>6465312Margellan had sprawled multiple requisition papers and documentation across his desk. tracing them all with matched pinpricks as his warrants officer stared in disbelief at the lengths his captain went to maintain control."Sir, I believe you can just ask-" The warrants officer, an aged woman that had been assigned with the younger captain from her known well of patience gets unceremoniously shushed by the blonde man, ratty blonde hair not tied yet into his usual ponytail."I'm not asking anything of anyone until I can estimate the answer on my own." Margellan declared as he looked over multiple requisitions "All of these are things I had asked for... before being held out of me at the last resupply. not to mention the packages to the Le Creuset Squad and the Units and Reinforcement of Zellman."Margellan's deliberation as he reviewed every piece of matched evidence only made him grip his knuckles white... Because this was perfect. All the resources he had asked for, The mounting supply needs of a possibly ill-adviced skirmish against the 8th Space Fleet. and the experimental materials..."Captain, Have you slept since the courier ping reached our sensors?" The warrants officer took a more caring tone as Margellan wiped at one of their eyes with tense fists "I understand what we're possibly coming off against but you need rest."Margellan gave one glare to them before conceding, placing their glasses back on "Three years. Three years I was embedded in the PLANT's council as Chief Engineering Officer. I find it miraculous that I get all I asked for, not because of the convenience. But because I know damn well in those three years, I didn't endear myself to anyone for these to arrive just in time." The admission makes the warrants officer substantially measure Margellan's own discretionary review of the manifests."I see... Still, you should prepare for your materials and the excess to dock within the Nemo's hangar bay in fifteen minutes. We've also received an assembly request from the Vesalius for two units to be mounted with Purgeable parity packs." Margellan raised an eyebrow to the upgrades before shaking their head."You go on ahead, I'll go fix this place up... Get me a cup of coffee, Iced. if you serve it to me hot. I'm ripping your damn tongue." Margellan chided as he began picking up all his evidence to document for later, the Warrants officer giving a nod as she prepared to greet the loading cargo into the hold of the support ship "Oh, and Call the Natural here. I need to show him something."
>>6465316Extricating yourself to a shuttle going into the Nemo, You board alongside Miguel and Athrun, Still weighing the sheer devastation that Nuclear power being invalidated could have wrecked over the earth."You look pale." Miguel broke you off your own calculated estimations as he secured your own seatbelt for you."Right, Sorry... Thinking about the Green Frame." Lying over the fact, you do take notice as Miguel shows off a tablet with a charter of upgrades for a CGUE's frame."You secured a CGUE after being reassigned?" Athrun asked with inquiry over the fact Miguel had lost the leverage of Le Creuset's reputation and gained the counterweight that was Margellan's instead as Miguel just shrugged."I came upon one, You'll see." Was his confident explanation before settling for explaining to Athrun a whole suite of mobility improvements already installed within the frame.Margellan had called away personally for you to show, He'd unearthed another fragment from the corrupted memory of the Green Frame's Morgenroete OS and wanted to keep it quiet for you to acknowledge... Which did feel pressuring as much as the situation on earth creeping upon your active imagination.However, disembarking you're a bit distracted by a nice, pleasant smell filling into the otherwise sterile hangar bay of the Nemo as shuttles are helped out to undock."Natural!!" Margellan yells uppn you from the upper catwalks in the hangar "About time you showed up, Get up here, Damn it!""Actually, You did remind me. My CGUE was undergoing repairs for a month at the nemo." Athrun commented as he saw it, A CGUE painted in orange as Miguel grinned "- So, that's why you asked about mine."You also saw Mayano observing from the catwalk opposite to Margellan, seemingly observing the work of loading and unloading the cargo that arrived... Though you yourself have far more urgency as you pull yourself from the shuttle's exit to aid the supply corps in unloading cargo...Though you start mending on what your immediate priority should be after you finish helping out....>Go see Margellan, he had asked for you. it could be of utmost importance>Check on Athrun's- Miguel's CGUE. from the looks of it, Athrun is still processing it.>Try to catch Mayano before they scurry, something in your intuition tells you she wouldn't make herself obvious unless she wanted you to see her.>Write-In
