The final sixty seconds had passed when the engines of the Executor Rising and other ships prepared for their destination. One of the operators observed the halls of the ship reporting, “All hands have been prepared for the jump Admiral.”
Another one had aligned the fleet with a projected course on the holographic map signifying, “Coordinates have been set. All forces are ready to make the simultaneous jump. Once we start we’ll be clear of the projected enemy fire. At least just barely.”
The Admiral wasn’t shaken at the idea when she ordered, “Keep us as close to it as possible.” With a final grip of her hand seats she warned, “All hands prepare for jump.”
The fleets of the Coalition made their way through the preparations and in the few seconds that passed the crew throughout the ships could feel the pressure equivalent of breaching Earth’s atmosphere. The 28 battleships left a streak of light behind before disappearing from the sight of anyone on Earth.
While the ships were in the jump Norma requested to her operators, “Prepare the gravitational fields.”
“Activating now.” “All personnel. Resume normal activity once gravitational fields have taken full effect.” The days would come to pass and the fate of the Sol Invictus was soon to be determined.

Dana recognized what little they had on the Sol Theros when Tano reminded her. “It’s still a chance to get used to everyone’s tactics firsthand. For the most part we’ll just have to take what advantages we have over the enemy and use them to form the best possible strategy.”
Gawel was next in agreement when he “And make sure that our weapons are up to date with the armor they got. Speaking of, your mechanics have a surplus of energy packs for energy rifles right?”
Oleg found the agreements to be hopeful when he told Naina, “Looks like our people will be okay with your people at least.”
Naina nodded to the observation but reminded, “It had best be enough. As far as this next battle is concerned, we won’t be facing other people.”

Days had passed as the Earth Sphere and Coalition sent its forces to investigate the threat of Kecker’s weapon. Testing and preparations were made as shown by the walls given new armaments and an increased patrol. The progress required resources however and regardless of the time of day they were accepted by any shipment making its way in. It was late at night when one was making its way in towards the city with the main guards making sure of the clearance. 
The truck pulled over with the driver meeting the Earth Sphere officer when the officer asked, “Can I see you identification soldier?”
“Sure thing sir.” The driver produced an ID card matching his face.
The officer ran it through a scanner before confirming the truck’s purpose, “It’s legit. They’ve got the parts we need.” The gates opened and the shipment was allowed to enter.

Edward found his computer light up as soon as the trucks made their way into the city base. It may have been late at night but he didn’t show any sign of having just been awakened. “At last. They have arrived.” He accessed his secure channel contacting Colonel Huerta, “Colonel. Have you infiltrated the base as planned?”
The Colonel’s voice on the other end confirmed, “Yes General. We’ll have their mobile suit hangars taken before long.”
“Excellent. Prepare the men to raid the base. I shall require some special protection when this is all done.”
“You’ll recognize the damage when we’ve started sir.” The Colonel promised before signing off.

The truck made its way to the nearest garage when the driver reported to one of the Earth Sphere personnel, “We have a shipment for the mobile suit division.”
The Inspector moved in while he introduced, “Good to see. Let’s get this stuff loaded.” As soon as he made his way to the rear end of the truck he noticed there was a gun peeking out from an open truck door. “What the? Who’s in there?” The Inspector tried to find out before he was shot down and Coalition troops moved out with their mission in mind. The action became more intense when Earth Sphere soldiers recognized the intruders and open fired on their location. The firefight erupted within the corridors of the hangar for the nearby security to be brought to a realization.
One of the leading Coalition soldiers jumped out firing on the nearby guards when he ordered, “We’re in! Move in and get to the mobile suits!”

Malcolm rushed towards the map of the city when he heard Devine report, “Sir! We have an enemy infiltration!”
Malcolm looked over the activity in the hangar area when he asked, “What? How did they arrive in?”
General Neustadt gave his report on the matter, “I cannot say sir. We have our men on the hangar bay grounds infiltrating.”
Malcolm was quick to recognize what their first target would be when he ordered, “Lock down all mobile suits! Don’t let any of them get their hands on them!”
The General promised the situation was being handled when he answered, “Our first priority sir.”
Devine warned of the further implications, “Somehow they managed to find our location. This will not be an easy matter to settle unless they listen to us.”
General Neustadt considered the idea and found a possible solution. “It is possible these men have not received word on the new President’s orders. We must at least make an effort to update them.”
Malcolm agreed to the idea when he made his way to the nearest communications panel, “I shall do so. I can only hope that these are reasonable men who do not wish to continue needless fighting.” It was a few seconds before he saw the face of the Quebec Colonel and ordered, “Colonel. Order all of the Coalition soldiers to stand down. We have no intention of continuing the conflict.”

The Colonel was outside with his gun when he agreed, “I shall do so sir.” The Colonel rushed outside while a megaphone nearby before he warned the Coalition infiltrators, “Attention all Coalition soldiers. We have no intention of further conflict. Please stand down and our leaders will communicate on further terms.”
One of the soldiers was visibly alarmed when he reported, “Colonel! They got a hangar bay open!”
It became evident when several Panther suits began to make their way to the open grounds. “What are they doing out here? We won’t have a chance if they manage to suppress us with the mobile suits!”
The Colonel acknowledged the concern but didn’t find it possible when he saw one of the Panthers preparing its gun and observed, “It looks like they’re aiming at the new Parliamentary Building.”

Edward observed the damage being done outside on his screen before he saw his Colonel report, “We may have an even match with the enemy on the ground sir.”
“A ground battle won’t be required. Not so long as we have even one mobile suit prepared to fire on this building.”
“Sir, aren’t you in there?”
“I am. The enemy will not suspect I am requesting rescue for the moment. Once you have sent in the troops necessary for my protection I shall see that these defeated idealists have met their final hour of sovereignty.”
“Understood General. We’ll move in now.”
“Do make it quick. I suspect at least one is waiting in anticipation for this day.” He commanded before signing off again.

“The Parliamentary Building is right that way. Move in and surround the area.” Several squads of Coalition soldiers made their way to the entrance of the Parliamentary Building prepared to face any Earth Sphere reistance. The Coalition Colonel ended the call again when he brought his attention to the sieged target before him. He announced his presence outside the new Parliamentary Building when he ordered to the leaders inside, “This is Colonel Huerta speaking. Surrender General Blare and we will spare anyone left inside.”
