[color=00a651]"What the hell is taking you two so long come on I only got so much time to get us to our points before I got to get to mine. Captain Jason doesn't approve of people who are late to their shifts you know. He'll have my hide and then my team will never live it down. I'm always on their asses about getting to their spots."[/color] Grant roared as he shouted at both Jack and Mask as his custom dagger stood on top of a nearby cliff waiting for his 'allies' to get their butts in gear. [color=00a651]"Hey Jameson is Mask even in his freakin' suit yet?"[/color] Grant said in exasperation. He knew now why they had been 'given' a 'talented' pilot like Mask by Mariemaia. They were just dumping a slow pilot on them. Less food to spend and less wait time.

Grant wasn't in the best of positions to talk about or complain about anything in particular right now though. Jason had put him out of the last battle on purpose. He and his crew were too loud in fights. He didn't want them screwing over the crew. Or at least that's what he thought was the reason. He was an ace pilot one of the best in the OMNI Corps. He had a custom mobile suit for god sakes! Who got a cool paint job and improved gear without having proved themselves? Well...he wasn't Paul who had proven himself more than capable as a pilot. Why or how he had found himself in a gundam was beyond Grant but he assumed Paul was in some sort of program or group since he was ranked so high at such a young age. I mean second to a high ranking Captain in the OMNI Navy? At twenty something? That was crazy. A country boy like him could only dream of getting in a suit like that.

[color=fff200]"Oh sorry....but thank you for saying you would protect me Reve."[/color] Stella said as Nena grinned and shook her head. [color=ed1c24]"Well maybe you need protection Reve but I can handle my own. Heck I bet I could do better than my brothers. But hey if you want some action...I got an idea."[/color] Nena said with a smile as she looked over to Virtue. [color=ed1c24]"We can get Jason's permission and launch from the bay on 'guard duty' in reality we'll go pick a fight with those ZAFT pricks Black Star's been bitchin' about. Sounds like my day right? Beating up some losers and causing some chaos. Just another day for Celestial Being."[/color] Nena said as Stella looked around unsure about what to do or to say. [color=fff200]"I...I won't go if you do. I have to follow orders....Captain Jason's orders. If it's guard duty that i'm sent out on then I will guard. But I don't think I should go. I'm not a fan of violence either way."[/color]

[color=f26522]"Really now? I always figured Dekim was a spineless fool who would sooner betray me than follow me. When I was younger I trusted him but I learned better after he killed Duo Maxwell against my orders. Duo could've been persuaded to join me eventually but Dekim was too short sighted to see that and had him killed. That was the day I figured out he was up to more than being my aide."[/color] Mariemaia confided in Donna as she chuckled and shook her head slowly. [color=f26522]"Tsk tsk...to think he'd be a fool to let the Preventers actually mobilize. In my universe one of my father's best generals sabotaged Earth's defenses even further. It seems that man didn't either make it or wasn't able to get me or Dekim to listen. By the time I got to Earth Zechs wasn't even able to put up a fight. He tried...he failed...he died. Earth's last savior and hope was ironically it's devil. A man who previously tried to kill the planet with a giant space station...You'd think a giant rock would've done the trick."[/color] Mariemaia said dourly as she laughed. [color=f26522]"I'm not serious don't worry. I just have a dark sense of humor."[/color] Mariemaia said waving a hand at Donna.

[color=f26522]"As for you universe's more specifics...well I can't comment it's completely alien. I think the people you spoke of were minor figures if they existed at all in my own time and place. Such a odd incident that would cause our times to completely change from one another. To think that one event or death or even place can cause something to be changed so differently. I'm afraid if you were looking for a person to share in your encounters I won't be able to fufill that desire. I however can sympathize. You universe sounds like a bloody mess. Having said that what is it that you want from me Miss?"[/color]
