Following Gabriel's Gundam X out of the hangar, Jack slides the Duel's combat shield into position and drawing it's beam rifle. "What was Graham Aker's last position? It occurs to me I didn't ask earlier." The country side was pristine, relatively untouched by any kind of war or conflict. It wasn't hard to see where the few skirmishes the [i]Sundown[/i]'s crew and their Gundams had engaged the raiders, with the scorched ground and toppled and crushed trees. {You know, Gabriel, I don't think being trapped here without all the hostile factions would be horrible. We could start over, all of us.} During the time that Jack had been trapped here with the others, he'd often entertained the thought of getting a new start.

{I mean, for me, the war goes beyond ZAFT versus Earth Alliance forces. The Blue Cosmos, an anti-Coordinator terrorist group, regularly launches attacks on civilian populations, all in an effort to take out the 'Patchworkers', as we're called. On top of that, Earth's occupied by ZAFT forces, or at least most of it is. Enough that going back to it isn't necessarily an encouraging thought.} He chuckles, realizing he sounded self-centered and sighs. {Sorry, can't help but worry about things back home. What about you? What are things like where you're from?}
