"Yo new guy, Lieutenant James, is that Duel Gundam going alright? That extra armor you got on it isn't the protocol we were briefed on once upon a time. It's impressive but it screams overcompensating." Jack opened an eye to look at the diagnostic screen, confirming another three minutes, before leaning out of the cockpit to address the engineer. And the constant mess up on his name, while understandable, was getting just a little tiresome.

"It's Jameson and the Duel reads good so far. It's another three mikes before the diagnostic finishes running though, so ask again then. As for the Shroud, the EA considers it a parting gift from ZAFT since we took it back rather...forcefully. They didn't have time to detach the Assault Shroud before we retook our unit." [i]Too bad we couldn't get the Blitz too...[/i] The Blitz had been destroyed earlier in the Bloody Valentine War by the Strike, which was piloted by Kira Yamato at the time. It had been an unfortunate waste, but it simply couldn't be helped. Then something clicked in Jack's mind. "Hey Yuri, if I'm from the past for you, doesn't that mean there's the possibility of running into a suit like the Blitz? Or even the Buster and Aegis?"
