Jack sat in the Duel's cockpit, running calibration checks and making sure that all the systems were still running as close to 100% as possible with all the raids on this ship that had been happening. As he sat in the cockpit, eyes closed and listening to some of the songs he'd downloaded to his MP6 to help kill the maintenance time. He was still trying to figure out what exactly had happened when he had arrived at the location that command had picked up that signal from. It had seemed normal enough on scanners and the location had looked like empty space. But then he got to the location, everything went dark and when he woke up, it was on an unfamiliar Earth with Gundam units both old and new, and plenty that he hadn't seen before. It was almost too much for him to take at first. The actual process of how he'd been transported was beyond him, As he'd gotten closer to the strange signal, he'd lost communication with the transport that had delivered him to the location. As he neared the signal itself, his control systems went nuts and then he blacked out. Afterwords, he woke up on the Earth with no idea how he got there. Then he'd met Jerid Messa, Lunamaria Hawke, and Jamil, the others who'd made up his group and for a time, he felt safe and secure, and they didn't even have to worry about fights all that often, what with avoiding the main fights between larger factions and the smaller groups like their own trying to avoid trouble as well. Then there was the philosophical debate, specifically over the different ideologies that the group had, over what was right and wrong while we were all here. It had caused rifts between everyone, big ones that almost resulted in all of them turning on each other, so they split. Then there was-[i]Stop, just stop. Not all that helpful to think that way. At least you're with Earth Alliance forces...I think.[/i] Opening his eyes, Jack sighs and checks the diagnosis, noting that it was still going to be a few minutes before it finished. Nodding to himself and leaning back, he settles in for a power nap after looking around to see who else was in the hangar still.
