The general ignored the discussion behind him as he watched the rockets continued to rise until they were but a speck in the sky. The doctor meanwhile sighed as he looked away from the general and to the woman. [b]"I have seen my share of burns from fires of the fuel, mark of a saber or just a mere accident while cooking. The only time I remember clearly more than anything was the night of the first launch. After learning from all our mistakes, we didn't think anything would happen for a short trip up. If we knew we were unwelcomed, I would have gone in the first mobile suit myself. Who went up instead? Some happy scientists and an enthusiastic little girl."[/b] The doctor leaned on his cane for the first time for true support. [b]"I felt like it was the first time I have had to amputate for someone. For a child... I pray none return as badly as her each time, whether the heavens listen to me or not."[/b] The doctor took in a deep breath and straightened himself, picking up his cane and tapping it on the ground before catching it. [b]"We won't get anywhere sitting here. I wish them all the luck in the world to send those bastards to hell."[/b]

The colonist began this war, we will end it on our terms."[/color] The general rejoined the two as he walked away from the center of the room, still taking information from the personnel manning the terminals in the tower. [color=#C0C0C0]"We launched our rockets to return to the stars and help reclaim items from our past, they sought to cut us down early, they will regret their choice."[/color] When he reached the pair he placed his hands behind himself, eyeing the eldest doctor momentarily before the youngest. [color=#C0C0C0]"Comparing this to the conflict you've seen between the earth and the colonies, ours would barely qualify as a border skirmish."[/color]
