-Salvation-

Someone entered the bridge suddenly which was rather odd... This wasn't the Federation or DC and it wasn't kosher for pilots to walk onto the bridge without being summoned. But because they were just on route and the coast was clear for now the Captain decided to over look it, though a little word might be appropriate.

"Next time call before walking onto the bridge. I take military procedure pretty seriously." He started sounding like he was going to chew the guy out but then went into a more friendly mood. Though the guy's normally cocky mood was pretty annoying, though the Captain said nothing. He would let Ryder deal with that later on during briefing.

"Good evening. I hear the work on your Gundam is going well. Though you might have to replace all that material during the next operation." It was a joke of course. "Anything you need?"

-Salvation Hangar-

Aiden was actually outside of the Phantoma for once, and was walking around the mech instead of sitting in it.

"That was really messed up."

-battle against pirates-

Other units sortied out and the Phantoma was just ready to follow up with the rest of the force. Aiden pushed on the throttle and the mech didn't respond.

"Problem occurred. Failiure on the-H-h-helmet."

"Ah crap."

The Phantoma suddenly lost power and Aiden was not so calm as usual.

-Now-

"God, that was embarassing. I hope that never happens again."

Mai watched the G-Cannon boost away for a second before moving to follow. “You’ve got to be kidding me…”

Point her gun at Fandom MS and shoot? There had to be more to fighting than that.

She took up position beside the G-Cannon, she scanned the monitors looking for a perspective target. She spotted an RF Zaku moving through the battlespace, Mai brought her Jegan’s beam rifle to firing position, glanced at the range indicator, and guessed at the targets speed. The first shot went wide, the second fell short. Mai paused for a second to re-correct her aim and fired again, this one looked like it would connect…

Dreacon let his Ego fade a bit and he saluted as the captain turned to face him, He still wasent used to the temperment of the people in this world, and in his own word he was alowed to go almost anywhere he wished on a whim... Perhaps for the time being he would have to unlearn some of his worlds status, and return to what he was in the EDF, a Number, without a name...
"Well sir, as For Ex, i've done all but feild test the armour. I've already started my report on the finality of GSR. But primarily, what i was wondering sir, whats going on with the front. It seems that i had jumped so whole heartedly jumped into the overhaul that i'd set aside the fact that there is indeed a war going on, and further, what role this Ship is to play."
He handed the compleation report to the captain.
"And as for the supplies sir." he smirked slightly as he spoke.
"With GSR, i don't think that we'll have much to salvage."

-Federation Luna HQ-

-Krager-

Lt. Colonel James Krager was overseeing the final preparations for the Pericles' launch. No that the Fandom presence was entrenched deeply in the Earth Sphere, his group had been reassigned to support fleet operations closer to the planet. His groups first order was to investigate a recent loss of contact with an outpost on the far side of the moon. His ReZEL Teams had been refilled though one addition was a complete surprise to him. The castaway Ayin Tollah had been assigned to his group along with a ReGZ, painted in a custom white scheme. It wasn't that the lieutenant had been returned to duty that surprised Krager, even though he retained no memories from prior to his discovery, save for his name. It that he was returned to his unit specifically. He would have to try and figure this out later though.

Turning to the main bridge watch, he walked up to the raised captains seat and said, "Get everything ready. I want us in the black in twenty minutes."


-Lt. Tollah-

Ayin himself was seated in the ready room awaiting the launch of the Pericles. He was keeping apart from the other pilots though they were making no extra effort to exclude him. His lack of memories was disturbing to him, and he was still trying to figure himself out. He had been given his orders and the unit without ceremony so he had merely accepted them.

-Salvation Bridge-

The Captain noticed that Dreacon altered himself in response to the small talk and liked what he saw. Where ever this guy was from it was easy to tell he was top dog. If only they had the same status here... but unfortunatly they were more of a shadow force then anything.

"The front has been hectic. We recently helped DC recover our sister ship from Fandom pirates and right now we are heading to investigate the destruction of a Federation outpost. And before you ask why it seems this operation was conducted by someone close to me and I want to confirm his existence. I'll need you to help Lt.comdr Ryder to provide defense should the Federation show up as well."

-Salvation Hangar-

Ryder watched as Aiden worked with his strange unit and decided to see if he could help out with something. "Yoh Aiden sorry about that last operation. It seems that machine of yours isn't cooperating very well. Maybe you should consider switching over to something more reliable. It seems we need to be on high alert now that we are entering Federation territory."

The Gelgoog quickly abandoned any pursuit of Riku as the two WildRabuiter series machines opened fire on him. Between the grenades and the missiles, his attention was occupied enough to where he never saw the grapple stingers embed themselves in the torso of his machine. Both missed the cockpit, but the impact had damaged some of the internals of the machine and after cutting the wires with his beam saber, the commander tried to escape and fall back toward the remaining machines and regroup.

The RF Zaku that was after Risa was drawn off by Riku's beam fire and seeing the state of his commander, tried to do the same when he was struck in the waist by the third beam shot from Mai's Jegan.
Turning to find the shooter, the pilot tried to close in and teach the green machine a lesson as he fired his own beam rifle twice at her before a hailstorm of 130mm cannon fire from the G-Cannon pumped the improved Zaku full of holes.

Elsewhere, the Val Varo pilot attempted to evade the attack by the Disk Slicer by reversing thrust to slow down and make Alex overshoot, but failed to do so as the weapon cut into the area that contained the mega particle cannon and destroyed it immediately, taking the left arm of the Wildschwein with it.
Seizing the opportunity at hand, the Val Varo pilot did exactly that and managed to grab ahold of Alex's suit with the remaining claw arm.

Seeing his allies being wiped out, the pilot positions the blue mech in front of the left beam gun and flys toward the Federation forces with an open channel.

"Attention Federation Forces: Cease your attack now or this pilot dies! If you will allow us to leave without further harm, I will release this pilot and allow him to return to you."

Alex Smith/the Twins

Alex's weapons were gone he was captured and the Fandom was using him as a bargaining chip. He had failed again; he must have been truly worthless. As the fighting began to ease and the Fandom began to pull away using him as cover his self loathing grew till finally he opened a public channel.

"Go on kill him, it doesn't matter what happens to me."

this was an order that no normal solder would follow, unfortunately for Alex Smith two Pilots among the federation forces were not normal solders and to them this was an order they could not refuse. The twins having moved between the Val Varo and the Federation forces acted.

The Val Varo pilot was so surprised he had no chance to react. Maria raised the Beam Gatling, set it to full firing speed, and pulled the trigger. The beam shots fired in rapid succession became almost like a giant beam saber and tore into hostage and the Val Varo's arm then began to trace along the Red machine's body. A black diagonal Scar was left on the now crippled Val Varo; the Fandom MA's pilot was wounded but not quite dead, however, Mellia ,having closed while Maria attacked, Rectified this with an effortless vertical slice of the Anti-Ship Sword.

Smith had been spared the instant death of incineration as the beams fired had missed the WildSchwein's cockpit. However, that was not a merciful happening as the beams had hit close enough to send glass and metal Splinters flying inside the cockpit. His body was alive but he could feel nothing but pain as the shards turned him into swiss cheese. This pain lasted only seconds but it would seem an eternity to the pilot before the WildSchwein's damaged reactor finally obliterated him and his pain at the same time as the Val Varo's own explosion.

"well sir." Dreacon said, one could notice that his typical egotismwas absent as he spoke this time. "If War here is anything like back home, were sure to see a new model or two in the event of a confrontation."
he grabed his left forearm and looked at it. A habit of his when he was recalling battles. "In my own world is was less then a week before the enemy had constructed a mobile suit that could counter a Gundam of my make, and at least back home, that was a bit of a feat, then again, it was the first Ex."
One could see by looking at him, that he was deep in his memories. The one moment in his life where he was injured far deeper then the loss of his arm.
His arm was replaced, but what he lost that day, he would never get back... But was it posible that.... well... of course anything was posible in this world... but even so, it still wouldent be... Her...
one could see the pain in his eyes as he refleccted his own past.

-Hellbore-

Elsewhere in the DC fleet, Hellbore was assisting the maintenance crew perform some tune-ups on the Freedom. Not having anything to do was grating on his nerves and he was becoming increasingly short with other DC personnel. When one of the maintenances crew snuck up behind him and spoke up with a tentative, "Excuse me, sir?", Hellbore jumped, then, angry with himself for being startled, spun and said sharply, "What?"

"Um, I uh..."

"Well, spit it out."

"I, uh, have designed a set off upgrade for your Freedom, sir. I believe they should increase performance by at least 15%." His confidence grew as he spoke and he handed over a datapad with schematics and technical data of a unit similar to his current Freedom, but with slight changes in outer appearance, armaments and internal performance.

His anger gone, and tumbing through the data, Hellbore whistled. "This is very impressive Corporal. I'll approve the upgrades but I'll need to talk to Col. Junkers for final approval. I also assume you don't have the resources to perform this refit on board?"

"That's correct, sir. I'll need some specialist parts from Aidoneous Island, and it will likely best be performed in a proper facility rather than on board the Macht."

"I see. Thank you, Corporal, I'll make sure Col. Junkers is informed as soon as possible."

"No sir. Thank you." Saluting with a grin plastered on his face, the corporal turned smartly, which Hellbore returned casually, and walked back over to one of the Cosmolions his crew was working on.

-Pericles-

Having launched the ship some time ago, Maj. Krager was seated on the bridge. They were making good time to the site of the outpost and where due to arrive in about an hour. Calling over to his radar operator, he asked, "Anything unusual on the scopes?"

"No sir," came the reply, "nothing out of the ordinary."

"Very good, then." He didn't know exactly what it was, something was bugging him about the silence from the outpost. "Keep your eyes open, I don't want any surprises."

-Ayin-

Being kept on level 2 alert was usual enough to frazzle even a pilot with nerves of steel, but Ayin was still as calm as when they left the HQ dock.Seated in the cockpit of his Re-GZ, Ayin's eyes were closed and his arms were crossed, seemingly in a deep meditative trance.

The first of the RF Zaku’s shots went wide to her left, the second to her right, where she would have been if the first shot had frightened her into trying to dodge the incoming fire. But Mai wasn’t afraid, not right now. Part of her felt fear, but it was sunk deep down right now.

She was searching for her next target when the situation with the Val Varo occurred. At that situation’s result, Mai did feel something, anger. Not a flash fire or even a smouldering sort of anger. It felt almost… cold, poring through her mind like ice water. She wanted a word with those two pilots…

-Riku/Risa-

Risa was able to escape and return to the ship, while Riku bore witness to the destruction of the Val Varo and Wildschwein. He too returned to the ship, since this fight looked to be pretty much over.

-Salvation Bridge-

"I wouldn't worry too much about it. We might be under armed but this ship is probably one of the safest places to be. As for new models Earth from what I've been hearing is having a lot of problems with them. Space is awfully quiet... But if my suspicions are correct we might be busy pretty soon."

The Salvation arrived on scene and the electronics team was busy mapping the outpost and the damage. The images coming in were rather minute but to the crew of the Salvation it was easy to tell what had made this damage.

"See those bombing patterns and bullet holes. I'll bet you my ship they were done by UN Spacy machines similar to what we have one board here. And by the sheer amount of ordinance used I'm assuming the culprit was packing some serious firepower, maybe even a bomber at that." He was tracing the damage on a manipulatable screen showing what was logically the flight path to avoid counter attack. It was obvious these guys had caught the Federation with their pants down since there were no none Feddie units damaged down there.

Then the alert came up and the sensors caught a battleship about half an hour off. They were coming from the direction of Feddie HQ. "Sir..."

"Yes I know, just stick to the Lunar shadows and keep all electronic counter systems up and running. I also want their communications tapped so we can tell what their doing or talking about." The Captain then turned to Dreacon. "I want you suited up and ready. We are currently too close to the surface to fold out so I'll need everyone ready to defend the ship should we try to escape."

The ship then went into high alert and all pilots were ordered to their machines. The ship also readied its own guns in the direction of the oncoming ship. Hopefully the enemy would just ignore them since this vessel was a stealth ship... If not they would take the initiative and strike first.

Aiden turned to see Kyle Ryder talking to him.

"Well, it's not the mecha, but the OS that its currently running on.. It is as scary as the Windows OS sometimes. If you could possibly find a new one I'd be most appreciative." He was not really up for a new unit yet, because his unfamiliararity with any other machines, But he was definantly going give his current a nice upgrade in systems.

As soon as he finished talking the battle alert went on.

"I guess we'll have to talk another time." Aiden then climbed up and into the Phantoma cockpit and started it up. Today was his lucky day as it presented no problems at all, not even mixing the word "Helmet" for others.

The strike force commander was in shock after seeing the ruthlessness of the two Federation pilots as they tore apart one of their own to get at the Val Varo.
There was now no way to fight effectively any longer. "All forces, retreat to point B355! We're pulling out."

The remaining suits stopped what they were doing and moved off to follow their leader out of the battle area.

-MS Launching Bay, Federation Warship Pericles-

Moments after the ship had launch, Lt. Von Kevsig was sitting inside the cockpit of his Jesta Blitz, a customized RGM-96X, which specializes in long range reconessance and fire support. Even though the level 2 alert is being kept on, Erwin doesn't seem to get too nervous, and still made use of his remaining "free time" to finish reading a few chapters of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six.

-Pericles-

On the bridge, Krager was informed that the were nearing the outposts location he sent an order to the hanger deck.

"Get that recon Jesta out there. I want some mobile intel before we arrive. Get the other pilots standing by just in case."

Soon after the order would be relayed toone Lt. Erwin Von Kesvig to sortie to scout out the remains of the base, while the remainder of the ships MS compliment would remain on standby in the Pericles.

-MS Launching Bay, Federation Warship Pericles-

Receiving the order for the Pericles, Erwin is ready to launch and start his recon mission, and manuvered his Jesta Blitz on to the ship's MS electro-catapult.

"This is Lieutenant Erwin Von Kevsig, Jesta Blitz is ready to go."Erwin reported.

"This is Pericles, electro-capapult charged, you have control and good to go." Repiled the Pericles' operator

"Control taken." Then Erwin pushed the control stick forward.

"Lieutenant Erwin Von Kevsig, Jesta Blitz, launch!"

A "Bang" sound was heard, and the electro-catapult flung the Jesta Blitz forward. After a few seconds, Jesta Blitz's venrier thrusters turned on, allowing it to get touched down softly. A slight orange flash was seen on Jesta Blitz's visor, as Erwin activated it's LROS (Long Range Optical Sensor).

"Minosky particles discharged, starting the mission."Said Erwin, while pulling out the beam sniper rifle from the Jesta Blitz's backpack.

-Salvation-
Dreacon was on the move the second the captain said his name, his Gundam was Prepped and ready less then 2 moments later.
"All systems Green, Dreacon Epsolis, Gundam Ex Chaos, Are standing by." he reported to the bridge.

-Pericles-
Kathryan trembled slightly, a bundle of nerves she'd become. one of the Federations latest newtype recrutes. She'd scored fairly high on all of her exams and had more then passed the simulation part of her training, but she knew, perhaps a little too well, that simulations and real battles were not the same. She'd already lost a few friends in this conflict, and she had no intention on joining them. on top of it all, was the fact she'd never been in space, and saw very little real combat when she was on the ground.. it didn't mater to her....She couldent let Fear get in the way, if she did, she would die.
"Fear is the mind killer." she whispered as she fliped on her comms.
"This is Kathryan Rhinoah, assuming stand by." she said more confidently then even she expected to... and what was this feeling. not in her stomach, but it seemed, her being, something firmiliar, yet not all at the same time...

-Salvation Hanger-

The alarms rang and the entire hangar was abuzzed. Everyone was in their respected mechs including squad commander Ryder. The Messiah was equip with a FA pack and three GHOST fighters were rolled up beside it as it entered one of the ships catapults. He opened communication with the rest of the force including Dreacon and Aiden.

"Dreacon Aiden your jobs are to intercept and draw the lone scout away from the Salvation so it can sneak away. The Wolf Pack will harass the enemy ship and hopefully this ship won't be forced into combat. If it does then it has Omega Wolf available to protect it, but lets keep these guys out of their hair.

"We will all rendezvous at this coordinate when the Salvation leaves the combat area. Now keep alive and do this right. If we can down those guys then by all means go for it, but our main objective is to provide an interception screen. Now lets show these guys why we are the Wolf Dragoons." With that the black and gold fighter was launched and behind it were four VF-11G fighters decked in FAST packs as well. Three remote fighters pulled up beside the Messiah as the Wolf Pack split off from the ship and took the long way around to strike the enemy vessel without the scout realizing something was wrong. Aiden and Dreacon would handle that guy themselves.

(Game plan: Wolf Pack [VF fighters] will attack the ship with Strike Rouge and Dreacon drawing Cheesy away from discovering the Salvation.)
