"You want what I saw that's what I saw I'm being specific in detail because maybe someone in here may know someone in ZAFT. I know a couple of people who went up into space but none of them would join ZAFT. Any information helps and why would I hide someone who killed dozens of my comrades in arms and or put them into the hospital. People are crippled damn it! If the color of her hair and gender is-" Richard said before Preston spoke up patiently, "While I agree with the younger man in the room I will trust Mr. Stone over there. And through Mr. Stone his nephew. If he says what he saw is true then we should trust him. Who knows maybe there will be a pilot with black hair out there in ZAFT with the description Ensign Stone said and we can definitively link ZAFT to this assault. However it is worth noting piracy has been a problem right Mr. Minister?" Preston said as the man nodded solemnly.

 "A confirmed raid on ZAFT military bases off of the coasts of Africa and South America have been reported by well placed spies from OMNI. It's unlikely that they would go through the effort of sabotaging their own bases and attempt to pull ORB into a war AGAINST them. Me? I personally would have tried to frame OMNI for this and leave behind some prisoners to 'break under pressure' to further that. It's all about framing the other side. Besides what are we going to say to the general public? A neutral faction helped another side specifically make weapons of mass destruction?" The Minister of OMNI said patiently as Azami nodded depressingly, "Yes INDEED there is a major problem with all of this. If we let this go public and blame ZAFT then what about the suits we built? It WAS a joint effort for now it's been contained to this island and my special forces however if it gets out we had a hand in this we will be ousted as false and the public may turn against us. We can't afford to let that happen." Azami said as Mizawa chuckled, "Then it's simple we go with what Richard Stone told us about the pilot he saw and then we move on. Besides even if he's lying does it matter? We're planning on going and taking the suits back anyway I'm sure so we're bound to find the thieves. If he's lying then he can be thrown in jail for harboring a criminal or pardoned for saving a entire suit. If he was a spy why stay? It's not like he's going to be able to contact ZAFT with the full lock down going on." Mizawa commented with a smile. "I hate to agree with the smart man but he's got a point? Why is this even a major problem? If we drag ZAFT into this we're draggin' ORB and it's peoples into the war. That's not good for it's not gettin' involved in other peoples' shit if you pardon my language." Walsh agreed surprising Mizawa pleasantly. "Why is this about me what about you people? Did yo use anybody?" Richard said trying to get this on and off him.
