[color=00a651]"You're in the wrong place kid. The hanger is in the other direction. Besides we're the only ones here right now."[/color] Witz grumbled at Jack as he turned around in his chair to give him a dirty distrustful look. He looked over to Sarah and grumbled. [color=00a651]"Alright I guess we'll play nice I suppose."[/color] Witz said exasperated at his comrade's comments and the fact that he now would need to sustain a conversation with the new comer.[color=00a651]"I think he served with him. If memory serves right he was with the crew the day that Gabriel guy vanished or got KIA. Any idea on what happened to him?"[/color] Witz asked more to reinforce Sarah's statement more than anything.

[color=00aeef]"Oh so we got a big shot in here huh?"[/color] Graham said clearly joking as he walked up closer to the machine and looked it over close after Ray mentioned it was serving for about a decade or so now. He looked it over eye balling the machine and he was silent for a moment. However the more Graham looked over it the more he smiled and nodded his head. Before Ryo could ask him to leave the machine alone Graham spoke up once more back at Ray. [color=00aeef]"This machine's seen some combat hasn't it? It's a beautiful piece of work. I have a similar machine. Not as advanced as this one but same concept. It's called a Flag. It has a jet mode, and a mobile suit mode. It may not look like much when compared to the Gundams around here but I'll be damned if I wouldn't want to pilot anything else. It's a pleasure too meet your acquaintance good sir. I'd shake you hand but I'm afraid my arms don't reach up there. My name is Graham Aker ace pilot from the Union, and currently a associate of OMNI Enforcer. Tell me have you met any interesting characters when fighting out there? I've been on the look out for good challengers! If I'm going to be here I may as well test myself against challengers I'd never meet otherwise. You get what I mean right?"[/color] Graham said as he saluted Ray and Ryo. Ryo looked down at the man and shook his head. [b]"Told you he was a blowhard. All he does is ask people that around here. Looks like you may be stuck with him."[/b] Ryo mumbled so Graham couldn't hear him but loud enough for Rayburn to hear him. He clearly wasn't very happy about having Graham in the hanger.

[color=f26522]"...So after looking through all the possible scenarios a front on assault of the city would be the best option wouldn't it? We can reinforce and retreat as we please. However as you advise we should go through this as quick as possible. The more destruction we cause the more trouble we will have securing the area. Destruction and debris may ruin any possible supplies we can gather from the area. Graham Aker, Witz Sou, and Donna will provide the support to needed troops. Granted if we advanced through the north to the south we only need to focus on one point so they will be able to be held back until something shows up. Lyons, Care, and your men will lead the assault's main forces. The rest of our aces should be charged to hold and capture areas that the main force has held."[/color] Jason stated as he leaned over the holographic table. Mariemaia sat in a chair nearby as Kenta stood there silently adjusting his mask. [color=0072bc]"I agree with that statement though I believe we should put Sarah, and your pilot Stella in the assault force as well. We need more men on the offensive not just out top suits. Since I will be held in charge of defense of our base here I will be unable to provide support in my Subjugated. Still with me here no one should be able to take this place."[/color] Kenta stated coldly as he looked over the data they found. Zaku. Mostly Zaku anyway there were a few other suits here and there but this was a ZAFT unit through and through. [color=f7941d]"What about possible enemy reserve forces? We need to prepare for them too arrive. No doubt they have allies. People have been here way too long for alliances not to be formed by most factions. Statements say another unknown force is located directly west. They have a gundam type with them. It's an outdated piece of trash though compared to what we have."[/color] Mariemaia stated boredly tapping on her chair. Jason, Kenta, and Mariemaia had been going over a battle plan. For the past half hour they've been going at it. Mariemaia was more cautious, Jason argued in favor of a balanced offensive, and Kenta planned to destroy everyone in a grand offensive. [color=0072bc]"Fair point Miss Mariemaia. Don't worry we'll have too relocate our allied soldiers for that but we'll be fine. Who should be on the defensive?"[/color] Kenta asked Jason. [color=f26522]"Jack, and Puru. They're not great for our main offensive unit but Puru, and Jack are capable of holding their own. Besides we've been retrofitting Duel with the captured Duel's extra armor. It's heavier than before but has more protection."[/color] Jason stated plainly as Paul, and SIGMA Leader stayed out of the conversation for the most part. However Paul spoke up for this. [color=0076a3]"I can handle the offensive just make sure i'm not cut off. I'll need a constant need for reinforcements. We're lacking in the manpower department."[/color] Paul stated as Mariemaia chuckled. [color=f26522]"Aren't we all? All the more reason to crush them before they get settled too far into the city. We'll need more men but we'll make do with what we have now. Besides we have a ton of ace pilots and multiple gundams. They'll be dead before they know it. Still we can't rush off too quickly or we'll make dumb mistakes. When I took over Earth I nearly lost everything when I had my men surround Duo Maxwell. One pilot can make a big difference."[/color]
