Two hours passed before the Wing 1 carrier was returning to the capital . As soon as they were in airspace Dana saw the signal hailing her squad from the radio. “Patch us through.”
Gawel agreed when he contacted, “This is Wing 1. We read you home base.”
The voice on the other line ordered, “This is General Neustadt. Please land for entry, we’ll require a report for the recent mission.”
Dana confirmed the order, “We read you General. We have a report ready.”
“We look forward to the report Captain. Neustadt out.”

Malcolm saw the recently assigned General Marcel Neustadt enter before he introduced, “General. Are the German territories still under attack from the enemy?”
The General confirmed the question, “Yes sir. We have reports coming in that the enemy is progressing its way here. The Coalition is very persistent to see the capital is taken back.”
Malcolm pointed out, “It isn’t likely General. We have recently begun talks with the new Coalition President to permit a ceasefire. Their own forces have been stretched thin as it is and they currently have ranks in Eastern Europe being decimated by forces we cannot confirm.”
The General brought his concern to the matter asking, “As true as that may be Mr. President, I cannot imagine there would be any other force attempting to usurp our efforts in maintaining the Earth Sphere’s position. With all due respect I should like to know if you don’t suspect our recent Coalition prisoner is not in line with this?”
Malcolm pointed out the issue, “As legitimate as your concern is General, we cannot confirm our current enemy unless we have something to base it on. As of now the most we have are reports of possible mobile dolls.”
The General realized the comment with the mobile doll report when he asked, “Is this from the discovery of former President Kecker’s authorization of the Sol Thero units?”
Malcolm nodded at the possibility, “We feel that this discovery may hold some steady foundation. If we’re correct in assuming so it will mean another conflict from the inside of the Earth Sphere.”
The General accepted the answer when he offered, “I shall hope to see this doesn’t lead to civil war then.”

As soon as the Wing 1 carrier landed in its headquarter location Naina and Dana made their way to the main computer for communications with the President. A screen with Malcolm’s face greeted, “Captain. It is most fortunate to see you have returned. What is the status of Mr. Goslin?”
Naina stepped forward to announce, “I am here to report sir.” She took out the recording from her pocket when she explained, “Neil Goslin shot himself and his wife under the extreme circumstances brought upon them. I was able to acquire some necessary data in connection to the hidden video however. His last words may be enough to show his intentions.”
Malcolm had a look of regret about him when he instructed, “Send the recording to us. We’ll get started on placing it as evidence.”
Naina began to plug the recording device to the computer mainframe when she agreed, “Right away sir.”

Once the mobile suits found their way to Kaliningrad Oleg heard McNeil’s request and agreed, “Right away.” The Leo III unit stood out among the hangar remains with its Sol Thero piece and would only be made more evident with the upgrades right behind it.
He made his way for a communication room when he updated Captain Kasantev on his status, “Captain. We’re back in Kaliningrad.”
The Captain responded on the other line, “Good to know. Just wait there for the next two hours or so and we should have the quickest way back to Moscow available. We have a carrier on its way and we’ll be able to get you here safely.”
Oleg was pleased to hear the news of a functioning carrier but was still unsure about heading into the Eastern zone of Coalition Operations. “Is the entire place leveled sir?”
“Not all of it. We managed to hold our own against these mobile suits, but at a pretty hefty cost. We can cancel out any invasion down to the Middle East like the President had us ready for.”
Oleg was still in disbelief over the situation when he asked, “Our forces in Moscow have been the primary base of operations for our offensive mission and contained the bulk of our forces out here. Those things managed to almost level Moscow entirely?”
“Just about. We will be able to offer some assistance for the Kaliningrad forces. We can only hope the President will be able to reorganize our forces at some point.” The Captain answered with disappointment at the situation.
“I hope so as well sir.” Oleg agreed before he signed off the radio. He found his way back into the hangar when he announced, “McNeil. Everybody. You got two hours to prepare for our way out of here. Finish up everything you have left before then and we’ll hopefully find ourselves in Moscow.”
