Tanaka awoke from his short lapse of unconsciousness laying on a bed within the pilot of the stark Jegan sitting near by speaking to the doctor."Well good morning sunshine."she said as she turned and saw him moving. "Your alive, but I have bad news they could save you leg."she said with a stern look. He sat up rapidly prepared for the worst and was relieved to see them both completely attached as he relaxed a little."Miranda That wasn't funny, but what happened?" He asked as he stood up and moved to a mirror seeing multiple small white bandage strips cover cuts from glass. "Multiple lacerations on your face from your broken visor."announced the doctor as he looked over."Not what I meant thank you."replied Tanaka as he left the medical room Miranda on his tail. "Cowardly aspis shot you in the back they are almost done fixing both damaged mobile suits, and we have a briefing." Said Miranda as he handed over a small drink pouch she had stashed in her uniform pocket well she had one in her other hand with the star extended.

"These Aspis managed to damage two of are mobile suits and but we destroyed one but are performance out there was sad is the best way to state it, and the colonial sitting on their thumbs out, There didn't help matters any." Bellowed lieutenant colonel Armsten as he brought up a close up of the Mortem cluster."We were caught with are pants down on this and they know we are coming and we expect an ambush so before we go in we will begin an aggressive recon into the cluster looking for the medusa stone and or the Aspis operation point with a team of Lieutenant Zackery Tanaka and Ensign Miranda Collins and three colonials."Announced Armsten as he looked around at the ECOAS pilots watching him." If you are compromised at any point pass it back to us but do not return to the fleet until you are safely disengaged and out of their sight if you fail to follow this instruction I will shoot you my self."he said and put a hand on the pistol at his hip to make his point clear.

Inspecting his Jegan the repairs were complete but their was still splotches of darkened burned paint and scratches from fragments that broke off Tanaka nodded in approval as the maintenance crew watched him."These colonials better learn to fight and fast or they will get us all killed." Said Miranda as she approached her Stark Jegan next to his ECOAS Jegan on the launch platform. "Well we will see how well they do out there during this."said Tanaka as he climbed into his cockpit and sealed his new helmet.

"Zero-three launching!"Shouted Tanaka as his mobile suit was launched followed by Miranda's from the Melbourne and moved to a rally point to wait for the colinials to start the operation.
