Gabriel didn't get to talk to Paul for as long as he would of liked before the alarm started to blare and battle stations were called. He followed Paul to the lockers and changed into his own flight suit before heading to the GX and preparing it for battle. After completing the operational checks and start-up procedures Gabriel moved himself into position for deployment. He listened to his assignment given from the Captain and watched as Paul and his Ringo Gundam launched. Gabriel didn't wait ling before he stepped up to deploy as well. "This is Gabriel Cross, Objectives Confirmed heading out." he stated before launch and heading to the battle field. 

As he approached the battlefield Gabriel began to scan the battlefield in his own way searching for any newtypes that could get in their way. And before they separated off he sent Paul a transmission. "I scene three other Newtype presences in the area, and one of them seems off I can't exactly place it. Either way keep your eyes open and good luck." After he sent his message Gabriel broke off heading to the battle. "So Sigma, I guess were going to be buddies for now, I'll cut a path and draw their attention. You guys mop up the rest alright. And if an enemy Ace shows up I'll keep it distracted flank and gun them down." Gabriel stated, almost giving orders out to the team before Jetting forward and destroying the first line of Zaku's that crossed his path. "Keep it efficient boys, we don't want to many to get near our base, but we can't leave the Gundam on its own for to long either." He said before continuing forward hoping the initial display of force on the enemy was enough to win him a little respect with the group. At least enough that they wouldn't shoot him in the back at least.
