[color=39b54a]"Well regardless we need to get moving. Sorry to break up this little heart to heart but we need to get moving. I don't want to get chewed on by a little girl again. You oversleep one time..."[/color] Witz grumbled as he made his way out of the room and towards the hanger. ==== Paul looked around the meeting room at all the faces. They had agreed on a plan in short order and now they just needed to enact the plan. They would follow the plan as ordered, Paul would lead the ground forces with Jason commanding. Mariemaia's men would provide back up. Worse case scenario was retreating and coming back to the fortress here. Mariemaia's base was a lot more fortified than the citadel after all. [color=f26522]"Well Kenta? You just going to sit there? Get going!"[/color] Mariemaia barked at her commander who grunted in acknowledgement his ever present mask preventing Paul from seeing his eyes. But he could feel Kenta's cold uncaring nature through his newtype senses. It was odd now that he was more aware of his powers and having a name to put to them...he felt like they were more present then ever before. Kenta went out of the room and Paul soon followed. He'd need to get back to the Sundown before things were fully prepared. He'd need to brief and troops and everything. At the end of the day this was just another job for the soldier boy. ==== Meanwhile... [color=0072bc]"Come now commander you can't be serious...why are you being such a pain today? Ord already said that your friend won't be bothering us anytime soon."[/color] grumbled the scientist as he sat in his chair and adjusted his glasses. His silver hair was a mess and his lab coat covered in black spots from having to work on the experimental suits. Really the kid who was in charge of this place was such a pain. [color=ed1c24]"That psychopath isn't my friend. Look I just have a bad feeling alright get the defenses near the coast ready. If Lao attacks from there he'll be screwed. Otherwise he'd have to come north. He won't make it that far."[/color] grumbled the commander tired of the god damn lazy bastard questioning every little god damn choice he made. Lao had been a pain in his butt ever since he had reappeared. More over that damn mystery suit that kept showing up. [color=92278f]"Commander."[/color] came a familiar voice. The robotic like woman with purple hair. Her and her friends had joined up with them here and proved invaluable in combat. But it didn't mean he didn't like the way she talked or held herself. [color=ed1c24]"Is Haptism ready to launch?"[/color] The Commander replied as the woman nodded. [color=92278f]"Yes but he doesn't understand why exactly. Tell me what is it we're preparing for exactly?"[/color] the woman asked bluntly as the young commander grunted running his hand through his red hair. [color=ed1c24]"My gut feeling tells me someone's coming I don't know how but I feel weird. Look just get ready worse things worse we pass it off as a test patrol. Look I'm heading to the command room. I'll see you later."[/color] he grumbled further as he stumbled his way out of the room. The woman looked at the man and then at the scientist and then left the room not bothering to listen to the scientist even try to bumble out any more of his rhetorical nonsense. She'd heard enough already. ==== The Sundown [color=f26522]"All hands to battle stations. Prepare for battle we are approaching out destination. Lieutenant Paul will lead the vanguard. Everyone assist him to the best of your talents. I am proud of your hard work these past days. I know it's hard. But now we must bring the fight to ZAFT. Terrorists will not be tolerated. Soon enough we will bring order to this city. Retrieve supplies. And hopefully come closer to finding a way home. I have faith in every single one of you. Captain Jason out."[/color] Jason said over the com as the pilots sat ready in their suits. He had brought some of Mariemaia's forces with them on the ship. Those that could fit at least. Others were following behind in convoy trucks secured from Mariemaia's base as to save power. It was a long trip due to the convoy but they'd be ready. They were just on the outskirts of the city and already Alpha Team was preparing to get on the launch catapult.
