Once the Earth Sphere shuttles made their way into the area of the Coalition battleships one of the crewman reported their arrival. "The shuttles are entering our holding space sir. We’ll be receiving their forces in just a few moments." Norma checked the systems on her chair panel when she asked, "Will we be ready to make the jump once they have entered a safe area of the ship?" Another crewman confirmed, "Right on the moment sir. We'll only need your order after that." Norma stood from her seat when she made her way down to the exit. "Have all hands prepare for the jump. I'll head down to greet our new allies." One of the guards near the exit was concerned asking, "You're sure it will be safe sir?" When the door opened the Admiral answered, "They won't have much to gain if they do manage to seize this ship. Otherwise it will give us a valid reason to take the Gundams for ourselves." She turned on her heel before facing the rest of the crew warning, "Do not try and develop on that plan." The strategists saluted from their seats agreeing, "Yes sir." The shuttles were loaded and Norma saw the squads of pilots making their way down to keep watch over her meeting. They stood at attention when allowing her to pass when she searched for the leader among the Earth Sphere pilots. “Clear.” She ordered the group in front of her. The pilots who were forming a line between Dana and Norma were moved aside giving the Admiral a chance to introduce herself. She stood before Dana asking, "Captain Houston I take it?" Dana stood ahead of the group confirming, "That's us Admiral." The Admiral saluted when she looked at the mobile suits being unloaded from the shuttle behind Dana. "Good to see. We need every bit of muscle possible for our arrival at the Invictus." "You have our support Admiral. Just be ready to make good on promising to help us take it down." Norma’s face turned slightly grim before she was asked to consider this action but managed to hide it by turning to the side. "I'll only offer what men I can to assist as practically necessary. I can't accept offering any more." Dana had a brief idea of what Norma was thinking but warned, "I wouldn't do it either Admiral. Even then my people have ended up paying the ultimate price." Norma went back to introductions when she gestured to the hangar bay, "We'll have your mobile suits loaded with the other squadrons. They'll be able to form their own unit afterwards." Dana led the group of soldiers behind Norma when Gawel caught an eye of the two Gundams held. "So you've had two Gundams all along?" Mercurio saw the Anaconda when he agreed, "One of them is sure familiar." Norma confirmed Gawel’s evaluation when she answered, "The Anaconda was our first development on Luna. The Golem however is pretty new. Turns out we're able to build last minute mobile suits regardless of whatever resources we have." It didn’t take very long before someone could have noticed the signature jet black parts on the Golem the Admiral had talked about. "So that thing was built together from pieces of Sol Theros right? Pretty fitting name if it was." Gawel observed. "That's the idea. We'll have to hope it's somewhere on the same level of lethality once we arrive though." Norma opened the door to the halls of the ship offering, "If you feel like meeting with their pilots they'll be situated next to your quarters at resting hours. Otherwise you may find them at their respective schedule." Dana was pleased but turned for confirmation, "You're willing to give us accommodations for the trip?" Norma confirmed her question, "We don't expect you to withstand the jump to the coordinates in the shuttle bay. You'll be at too much risk from enemy fire if we encounter anything." Among the collective agreement for the idea Dana turned to the Earth Sphere pilots telling them, “Make your way down to the reserved quarters. Just be sure to act on the conduct these people set up.” Mercurio understood the order, “Easy enough sir.” Gawel took out his blueprints reminding, “I have to get to work anyway sir.” “This jump will only be as easy as the crew we work with.” Naina agreed. | The long hours passed before Malcolm and the remaining representatives found themselves within the airspace of Quebec City. Devine turned to him reporting, "We have arrived Mr. President." Malcolm stood up when he took a look at the landing pads within the city. "At last. Our forces have been updated on the drop?" Devine was on the other side when he observed the mobile suits standing on guard outside the city walls. "They have. They are currently overseeing the city and prepared to alarm us on any updates from the enemy or any other invasion." Malcolm tried to prepare himself for the inevitable when he commented, "I cannot decide which would be worse, but I hope the Coalition will be able to accept our possible alliance." “If anything we should hope that we do not Edward took a step onto the nearest landing pad shaking himself of any remaining excitement. “So we have finally arrived.” “How long will it be before… The Sol Theros arrive sir?” One of his guards asked. Edward knew what he was holding himself back from asking as soon as the pause came up. Edward played along answering, “They should arrive in a matter of hours. I’m not certain if they require preparations but with only eight units they will require more than just ammunition after all.” His guard decided not to ask any further questions when he heard a cautious tone grow in his superior. “You’re probably right sir.” Edward ended discussion on his plan when he emphasized, “It shouldn’t be a matter of further discussion I believe. It will simply happen when it does happen.” Another one of his guards reminded, “We should only be prepared sir. We have new superiors who are looking out for our best interests right now.” Edward nodded when he looked at the Earth Sphere officials making their way for the main building, “Yes. That we do.”
