-Hellbore-

Landing the Freedom near the dock entrance, Hellbore walked the mobile suit into the cavernous enclosure where the Ceres was being held. He placed both beam rifles on their hip mounts before moving inside the hanger. He moved the suit to its usual place in the hanger. He climbed out and took off his helmet, running his hand through his hair.

He sighed and realised he couldn't remember the last time he ate. He set off for the mess to see if anything was available.

Alex Bloke

Alex was unsure about what to do with his machine; while repairing the damage to his arm would be simple. It turned out that battles in this universe were far more intense than his own and the 009GS was beginning to show signs of it's hasty assembly. Offensively the machine was holding up, for now, but defensively the Break Field had it's disadvantages; mainly that it had to be moving very fast to sustain itself. The machine needed something quicker and easier to use for defense.

Then an answer presented himself; a man in a head Mechanics uniform approached Alex; he spoke with a strong Jamaican accent

"Ey Mon, da name's Apollo; I'm da one assigned ta checkin' out dat tech you gave da docta; I been lookin' through it and it's real intrestin' stuff. I'd like ta give dis stuff a field trial but seein' as you got the only G-Stone I can't do much wit out your machine so I was wonderin'..."

Apollo lifted a screen with the image of a large black machine labeled "Project GGG" and indicated the left arm where a smaller label read "PS Generator".

"If you'd let me put dis ding on dat damaged arm."

Alex hadn't thought of using the data he had given the doctor to upgrade the 009GS but it certainly seemed a reasonable idea; Alex gave his consent.

"Hmm. Interesting."

Knowing that the Efreet is unmanned, the Epyon didn't put much care while putting the unit back inside the hangar.

Lowind then left the hangar for a quick rest.

-5 minutes later-

"Sir. I regret to inform you that Masamune Date is not inside his unit. Should we count him as a casualty?"

This mission ended even worse than usual. I thought named villains get contractual immortality. Then Leon gets fragged.

"Shut it, Fed. Cease operations and surrender otherwise I'll open fire. This is your only warning."

Strike sighed. "You know what, why am I even talking to you?" he said before cutting the line. He hoped Zabowski wouldn't overreact. He was sure he could take the Bawoo K with no problem, but he didn't have time to mess around right now.

Strike then a communication over the the Ceres and Ryker. "Yo, Captain, long time no see. Listen, this is Strike. I have Stellar with me, and she's wounded, so it would be really nice if I could get her somewhere for treatment, pronto."

-Michael-

"Your loss."

Michael opened fire, perceiving the Delta Gundam as a threat to the DC, and acting accordingly. A quartet of GN beams lanced out toward the Delta as the Bawoo streaked overhead and moved to come around for another pass.

"Sir, we're getting a message from the new mobile suit. I'm putting in on the screen." said the operator.

"Yo, Captain, long time no see. Listen, this is Strike. I have Stellar with me, and she's wounded, so it would be really nice if I could get her somewhere for treatment, pronto."

"Strike?" Ryker was in somewhat of a state of disbelief, but he did see the familiar face with his own eyes.
"Understood. Make your way back towards the ship in the open dock area on the west side of the island."

"Radachi, stand down and escort the unit to the ship. The pilot is one of our own and he has an injured person with him."

-Emily and Black Mage-

Soon, Emily herself touched down onto Aidoneus Island as well, parked the Unicorn Gundam, and winched herself down onto the ground with a sulk. Today had been a strange day --- and things weren't looking too well for everyone. So much intrigue to deal with, and to top it off there were those SPARTANs who Emily couldn't feel, and then Wingnut and the Wing Zero, and now the animosity between Strike and Radachi. Emily threw her hands up into the air in exasperation; She wished everyone would just stop and take a moment to think clearly because their Will Saves go down the drain and everyone started fighting each other like they were Dominated.

Emily had little time to dwell on it as she walked towards Lune and Wingnut, pondering what is next for them, only to see Black Mage doing the same. Where was he during the battle, anyway? Emily blinked quizzically. Probably something with his mecha, a mechanical problem of some sort that kept BM out of it. But Black Mage being here can't be good.

And soon Emily was proven right. "Hey, Lune!" Black Mage waved a hand upwards, causing Lune to roll her eyes in disdain. Not again. "Sorry about earlier, but I really do have something important I have to ask you."

Lune knew she was going to regret it. She crossed her arms. "Make it quick."

"Okay, okay. Have you ejected from the Valsione and bumped yourself into a cloud before?

"...Um, no...why?"

Black Mage, predictably, pointed at Lune and ^^'d.

"Because baby, your rump's got that touch of heaven on it!" ^^

Emily sweatdropped and slapped her forehead. Again. Lune was normally weak to flattery, but Black Mage was just ridiculous! "Niiiiiice knowing you, Black Mage. Now you're going to get it. And Miss Lune'll get a +20 Circumstance Bonus to hit you this time, too..."

- Wingnut -

He can't be serious. thought Wingnut in response to Black Mage's comment on Lune's rear end.
While Wingnut was in agreement about the attractiveness of said part of her body not to mention the rest of her he thought as he found himself giving her a quick and discreet looking over, the way in which he expressed himself was beyond lame and one of the worst lines he had ever heard.

Thus is came as no surprise when Lune walked up to Black Mage and gave him a two-fingered poke in the eyes that would make the Three Stooges proud.
Serves him right. Wingnut thought as Black Mage clutched the only visible part of his face in pain as Lune walked off to find her father and learn what plans he had for the Gundam Team's future.

-Emily-

"Ow!" Was all Black Mage said as he crouched down and clutched his yellow circles for eyes in pain, leaving Lune and Wingnut to walk by. Emily giggled at that as she followed and, sensing her chance, decided to add to the injury --- she reared herself, got her Attack Bonuses set in her head, and headbutted Black Mage in the face.

"+12 Attack Bonus, rolled a 15 to hit with a +20 Circumstance Bonus, and---Owwwwwww!"

"Owww! Why, you little---"

It became apparent then that Black Mage's head was harder than Emily thought and both combatants reeled back and clutched their foreheads in pain, Emily staggering back a few steps --- after that, she wasn't going to try finishing her Flurry of Blows, that's for sure! Oooookay, I guess doing Improved Unarmed Strikes with my head isn't such a good idea after all; Next campaign I'm being a Swordsage Pally with Mountain Hammer. With a pained, yet satisfied look at Black Mage, Emily rubbed her forehead, panted with all the courage she could muster to sneer at him, and then sauntered away and over to follow Lune and Wingnut to report in.

-Sara-

Sara was woken by two men in DC uniforms accompanying a nurse, who freed her from the bed. She was given a pair of overall and instructed to change. She did so, and as soon as she was finished, was told to follow the guards. All she did so and all three moved through the DC base in silence. They reached their destination and Sara was motioned through a door. When she moved through a found herself not in a cell, but a office, like you'd see in any city in the world. It took her a moment to realise that she wasn't alone. She saw sitting in a plush chair, none other than Bian Zoldark himself.

-Zaine-

After going by the infirmary and getting a proper patch-job as Commander Ryker suggested, he soon realized he didn't have a gundam to pilot. Zaine silently cursed himself for letting the Exia get destroyed, should've went for the cockpit... too late now though. went through his mind. After locating a proper change of clothes, he decided to try and find a unit to pilot.
He soon found himself back in the hangar, wondering what he'd pilot before turning his attention toward a mobile suit... who a certain someone was working on. He caught himself looking at a certain part of her as a not-so-innocent thought crossed his mind... He managed to turn his head in another direction (To keep her from noticing the blush) as he noticed a container about the right size to have a mobile weapon in it. He checked around and ultimately decided to ask for help since he couldn't figure out how to open stuff like that... Unfortunately for him, Tallis was the only one around. “Um… Ms. Tallis? Do you have a minute?” he asked.

- Bian -

"Welcome, Ms. Klein. Please have a seat."

After she had sat down he continued.
"I understand that your co-pilot is still in a coma and that it was mostly in part to how badly that machine of yours was set up. It seems that you two were used as guinea pigs for the Fandom to play around with a new technology that they couldn't control.

Fortunately the doctors tell me that he should be waking up any day now and will be back on his feet shortly afterward as his other injuries have mostly healed.
When that happens I would like the two of you to do something for me. Pilot the Cerberus once again, but in service of the Divine Crusaders."

"Now before you start to protest you should know that you two are the best qualified people to pilot it, and I have had my best scientists repairing the unit and making it much more safer for the pilot to use and stabilizing the Terminus engine better under combat conditions. I will also see that you are treated just as well as any other pilot and will not forsake your welfare for the advancement of a goal.

So what do you think of my proposal?"

Tallis Stenner

Tallis had been working on the ZERO, reloading weapons and checking parts for fatigue, when she hear someone behind her.

“Um… Ms. Tallis? Do you have a minute?”

Tallis turned to face the young man she didn't know

"Well, Zaine, I'm almost done here, If you can hold on I'll see what I can do"

Tallis turned back to the Zero and after checking another few parts shut the service hatch. She then shifted her attention to a checklist on a clipboard where she made several marks.

"Alright lets take a look, to be honest I've wanted to know what was in that thing too but thanks to that battle we haven't had the chance."

The Bawoo opened fire, and Strike reacted, flipping the Delta Gundam over the beams and neatly dodging them.

He received a reply back from the Ceres just as Zabowski was coming about for another pass. "Understood. Make your way back towards the ship in the open dock area on the west side of the island."

"Well, okay. Thanks for that," Strike said exasperatedly. He ducked down under the approaching Bawoo K, transformed the Delta Gundam into waverider mode, and made headway for the prescribed hanger.

Inside, he spotted some familiar faces, Emily and Wingnut, as well as some unfamiliar ones. He transformed the Delta again and planted its feet down on the hanger floor.

"Let's go," Strike said and wrapped Stellar's arm around his shoulder. He then popped the cockpit hatch and proceeded to lower the two of them down towards the ground.

"Yo! Guys!" he called to the group. "Which way to the infirmary?"

"Well, Zaine, I'm almost done here, If you can hold on I'll see what I can do" Tallis said. "Sure thing." Zaine replied. In a few minutes she was done and commented, "Alright lets take a look, to be honest I've wanted to know what was in that thing too but thanks to that battle we haven't had the chance." He heard her say. "All right, let's see if we can open the thing." Was his remark, with a tone of curiosity in his voice.

Tallis Stenner

After reaching the crate it took a few moments of searching to find the release mechanism. it was a coded lock but someone had been kind enough to leave the code attached on a piece of paper.

"5-8-6-3"

with a hiss the container began to open...

Wan Fey Lo

Upon returning to base Wan proceeded to work on his plans; most of what he needed had been sent ahead and were already gathered but he needed to get several things on his own. In an hour he had everything he needed and was ready to leave...

That voice sounds familiar. Wingnut turned around to find none other than Strike Zero climbing out of the Hyaku Shiki looking mobile suit with a wounded Stellar in his arms.

"Strike! Where the hell have you been and how did you get here?" Wingnut asked as he started directing the pair to the infirmary down one of the hallways leading away from the dock.
((It doesn't make much sense to use the Ceres infirmary when other facilities are available now does it?))
