Malcolm didn't find the lack of information Klaus offered to be anything assuring, but it seemed that he was every bit as clueless about the matter. He accepted his information, "Understandable. I couldn't accept the notion the President would hold anything back from the Parliament. But authorizing mobile dolls as a means of advancing our forces? ... We'll be lucky if Lord Lindemann still considers our government to be worth maintaining." He answered himself as he remembered the Lord's disdain for the use of mobile dolls. He didn't question the issue any further when he left answering, "None of this I am sure is your doing General. I only hope that your contributions in this war will continue to be as invaluable as they have been." He left for the Presidential office when he prayed to himself, "I suppose now all we can do is hope that this 'Eclipse' he promises will be worthy of the secrecy."

Dana agreed with the Instructor's suggestion and was able to find Gawel right next to the computer with the containers. "You feel like telling me what the cat dragged in Majewski? And give me the "for dummies" version if you don't mind."
Gawel looked up and agreed to begin, "Oh sure Cap." Gawel began to pull up the blueprints to the screen when he found the terminology he was talking about. The overview of the equipment focused on the engine when he explained, "What we've got here is a Overdrive Catalytic Conversion Engine with full compatibility to the Artemis." He showed a simulation of it fitting onto the back of the Artemis where it seemed to stick out from the rest of the Gundam's features at this stage. He continued, "If you're looking for why this is here, well that Stymphalia Armor plating you have for the Artemis is going to build an entirely new Gundam. The Stymphalian Artemis Zero if you will. This platting is going to add about twice the usual weight to the mobile suit and add another meter to the overall height but it will be able to give you the same usual speed of the Artemis but with that much better defense." As soon as he pointed them out he saw the armor plates assemble onto the simulated mobile suit to form the armored creation. Gawel finished the explanation, "Simple terms, bigger bitch to hit but harder to drill and none of the speed sacrificed as well." He saw Dana give an unpleasant stare at the comment before he quickly added, "Er... I meant a bigger target... I'll just get started on the installation process sir."
Dana gave a playful push on his shoulder while chuckling at her earlier act, "You do that. Make sure the Aquarius is ready to move, we'll need as much new firepower possible."
Gawel was relieved when he agreed, "That one will be done sooner sir."

Oleg was close to home but it was probably the closest thing to assurance he could think of when he heard the news. He managed to survive but it seemed like there was no longer a chance for him to take back the enemy capital. The Coalition was close to finally ending the war but the chance had been lost thanks to the flaw in the Coalition system many had hoped finally ended. "I guess we couldn't expect anything like that to happen." He commented when he tried to sound like a patriot to the cause but knew what his foremost concern was. He could only lightly slam his fist in his hand when he cursed the luck of him and his men, "We practically had the enemy in our hands. That damn General Blare had to usurp everything at the last second." There was one concern that rushed to his head when he considered everything the occupation had lost. Three generals and a the leader of the nation were all present within the capital but only one of them was his foremost concern. "The President. Is he alright? Is he still fit for leadership?"
