Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: Eclipse

General Ulricht was unable to shed the light on the Sol Thero. "Unfortunately the President has not told me the nature of the Sol Thero." He answered. "I assume they are made with expections for them to change the tide of the war." He was also concerned with what the 'Eclipse' the President meant. "I'm afraid that I do not know anything on those units."

Instructor W was impressed with what he saw out of the container from Luna. "Looks like upgrades." He commented at them. "We can get to work in installing them Captain." He walked to where the Sandesgeist was getting upgraded. "I think Majewski would be interested in taking charge of it as well." He told her.
He returned to overseeing the Sandesgeist's upgrade. The mechanics worked hard to get the job done, continuing the installation of the legs to the main body. He ha d acloser look at the legs. "They're larger than I thought." He said in his mind.

Tano had a few hours rest since he arrived in Konisberg. He found other Coalition soldiers, some injured, some exhausted, some dejected and any of the three combinations. It seemed that the defeat in Brussels left a blow of morale to the military. Tano himself wasn't immune with how he failed to defeat the Gundam again. He sat on a chair in a hall of hours, uncertain with his future. He was snapped out of his worries by Oleg. "We're in Konisberg." He explained. "Or as some prefer to call the place Kaliningrad. Here is one of our remaining bases in Eastern Europe. After our defeat in Brussels I received the order to regroup here. It turns out Brussels was only the beginning and a large number of occupied cities began rebelling." Around him were soldiers with different insignias, proving him correct.

Ulbricht took a second of breath before explaining to the parliament. "I can assure that President Kecker is safe from harm of the Coalition." He began, speaking to the microphone. "He has told me he is on a personal mission to end the war and authorised an interim president to take his place in his absence. Sol Thero units are making their descent to Earth within hours."
Lord Lindemann raised his hand for his question. "What is this Sol Thero?" He asked.
Milou gave the answer on the behalf of the General. "They are Mobile Dolls." He explained. "We first saw them in Luna."
The Lord was in disbelief. "You mean the President authorised Mobile Doll production?" He questioned rhetorically. "I don't believe this. He wouldn't think of Mobile Dolls if he wants to keep his support."
Murmers were heard among the crowd with what the President's bringing. The silence was calmed with Heero's questions on the squad in Amsterdam.
Ulbricht thought he had no choice but to answer. "Yes, I am aware of one of my squad in Amsterdam." He responded. "Their mission was of top secret nature and were ordered to prevent anyone else from knowing." He thought of how he became authorised to reveal the President's current status. "It is now harsh to believe that good men were wasted on this. They escorted the President to Amsterdam's spaceport and unfortunately I cannot give his whereabouts. That is all I can say. He has however said that the parliament will be in the hands of the military and that 'an Eclipse' is coming." He left the podium to let the interim President to speak.

Milou looked for his sister in the room but couldn't find her. "Damn it, sis." He thought. "Why did you leave in a crucial time?" He squeezed his way out of the parliamentary hall to leave the room.

Instructor W saw Mercurio leave while Captian Dana approached him. "So I believe you got the news on the package from Luna?" He asked her. "Please, follow me." They both exited the parliamentary building, with the Instructor leading her. He brought her to a makeshift garage for the Rogue Wings, They walked through the Panthers nearing the end of their repairs and the Aquarius being under restoration as well. He stopped when found two containers with each having different labels, one clearly marked 'Winner Corporation' was opened up while the other had the logo of the Luna development labs where two of the three Gundams were manufactured. He touched the container from Luna. "This seems to have come from Luna as you can see." He explained. "Is there any message whatsoever on what this might be? I thought I should consult you before it should be opened." Behind him the Sandesgeist was going through the needed upgrade with the new parts.

Donna got herself in a changing room to return to her usual attire. While she was taking off her jacket the envelope from her father dropped on a desk, reminding her to keep it with her. She placed the OZ uniform back into the briefcase it was presented in once she was back in her normal clothes and left the parliamentary building. She observed the damages the city took as she walked around. Unexploded remains of Mobile Suits that scattered the city could be compared to corpses of human beings. She tried to ignore the casualties near her to find somewhere where there isn't much damage. The Gundam pilot stopped when she saw Milou looking about uneasily. "Milou, what's the matter?" She shouted?
The Martian noticed her. "Looking for sis." He replied. "I have more questions to ask her but I can't seem to find her."
Donna didn't have any idea where she would be found either. She walked close to where he stood. "I don't think I would know where she went." She answered back.
Milou scratched his head. "Yeah, she's pretty good at espinage I guess." He remarked. He found an intact bench he can sit on for a break and took a seat.
Donna took the seach next to him. "So did you lose anyone important?" She asked him.
Milou was able to give an answer. "If you're an agent, you're bound to lose people." He answered. "Lost a number of good friends in my life. I also heard from Gawel that Water- I mean Po lost her life during our escape."
Thinking of Sally's sacrifice gave Donna some understanding. "My mother died Before I could remember." She followed. "Killed with a shot to the neck." She still kept a hold of the photo of her young parents.
Milou knew that the death of a parent is especially hard. "I'm sorry to hear that." He responded as best as he could. He gave Donna a brief hug for her to mourn on. She grabbed it to give a silent cry. The Martian realised that they mutually became attached. He already experienced how becoming attached to someone can be painful but the feeling was strong. He also wanted to help her but he felt that he could only bring more misery.

The Anaconda reached the gates of the Central European city guarded by Leo IIIs as a Coalition base of operations should be. As he apporached the path was unblocked by the Mobile Suits, clearing the road for them. It took a couple more minutes to find a vacant garage in the city with most of them already filled with Mobile Suits battered from the battles they were in. Once the Anaconda stopped, the palm that carried Oleg was lowered for him to exit with a medical team ready to treat him. Tano himself got out of the cockpit for the luxury of rest as well.

"Yes sir." Ulbricht replied. "I will give them the news of your mission." He ended the transmission to the President. He placed his cyanide pill away for he has another task before leaving the room. He saluted the guards that guarded the entrance to the room and walked out to his transport. "Back to the parliamentary building." He ordered. The driver immediately complied and began driving out of the depot.

Instructor W got updated news on his mobile phone on the parts for the Sandesgeist. The parts successfully arrived and are now ready to be used to upgrade the Sandesgeist. What he found strange is that there are some packages from Luna delivered at the same time. "That's weird." He thought. "Didn't order anything from there. Did Architect I want to send something and forgot to tell me?" He thought to himself.

Lord Lindemann agreed that OZ should act independently as a cover of a splinter group for the time being. "Very well." He spoke to himself. "It may be better to pose as a splinter group." He joined with the applause as a gesture of approval.
Donna found the Instructor making his way to her like if here's some news. "The parts to upgrade Sandesgeist arrived." He informed her.
Sandesgeist's pilot was happy with the news. "That's great." She replied.
The Instructor brought the next news. "Also it looks like something's sent from Luna as well." He added. "I think it's for either Mercurio or your captain."
"I'll go tell them." She answered. She brielfy came to where Mercurio and the Rogue Wings are. "It looks like there's some package from Luna." She informed and made her way back to the Instructor.
"I'll go begin the upgrade now." Instructor W said. "You want to come along to see how it will turn out?"
Donna thought of how she wants to clear her mind for a while. "I'll head there later." She replied to the offer. "I'll take a stroll before going there."

Ulbricht's car arrived at the parliament building with soldiers awaiting him. He gave them a brief salute before being escorted to the parliament. He was taken outside of the main chamber to wait for his turn to speak on the podium.

Tano saw that they're near the rallying point. There were multiple signals near Konisberg, all presumably from the survivors of Brussels. However the numbers were too large to include survivors from the city so there could be others that were evicted.
"Unit, identify yourself." Came a voice from the communications tower within the city.
Tano gave his reply. "Lieutenant Tano Kiprotich, Anaconda Gundam." He reported. "I am also with Oleg Tsubarov. We retreated from Brussels after the Earth-Sphere liberated the city."

Donna saw that Naina has a point with the pointlessness of asking the same questions to anyone else around here but there is nothing else they can possibly do for now. She shifted Sandrock's main camera to the citadel, pointed by the Tallgeese. She caught a glancing view of the beam shot, implying someone is there and fired a shot. She zoomed in the camera to see where the beam came from but the camera could only show the exterior of the citadel. "I can't tell who fired the shot." She muttered.
Instructor W spoke again. "We might as well investigate this citadel." He replied. "We should get going now if we want answers from something or someone there." He signalled Donna to get Sandrock moving to the Citadel. He oversaw his pupil returning the camera back to default before she got the Gundam. She lead the way, walking slowly and carefully, staying vigilant for any potential ambushes from the Coalition. The pilot and her mentor also examined the scenery further on the way to see if their eyes or minds are playing tricks on them and this is all a dream caused by a bump to the head. They stopped close to the citadel to see who's also there in the area as seen on their radar. They are unable to see anything so far thanks to part of the building blocking their sight. Instructor contacted Naina again to make sure she followed them without getting separated by accident. "Naina, can you see anything yourself?" He asked. "We're blocked by the architecture and can't see that well."

The General gave his reply. "Yes Mr. President, the parliament is secured." He answered. "Will you be informing them of your safety at any point sir? They are demanding answers on what happened at Amsterdam."

Lord Lindemann finished the charter. "That can be our foundation." He commented as he wrote his signature. He then beckoned his daughter and friend to sign the charter as witnesses. He had one more thing. "One more thing." He informed them. He gave each sealed envelope. "When I'm injured or killed, bring it to the Parliament." He instructed. "It's our insurance in case something bad happens."
Stuart nodded. "Got it." He replied.
Donna placed the envelope inside her jacket. They moved out of the room to return to the Parliament to hear the rest of the session. They will find Edward as well to discuss further matters.

Milou lauded the suggestion of peace-talks with the Coalition. Both sides already faced heavy losses, especially the Coalition with the loss of the President. He was however concerned if it will bring true peace to the Earth-Sphere for both sides can fight again.

The Anaconda travelled for nearly a day away from Brussels. Orders were passed to regroup at Konisberg, where the Coalition's Eastern European forces used as their centre of operations. Tano saw the the Gundam is getting low on fuel when they were getting close and the pilot himself didn't sleep since the withdrawal. "We're almost there." He muttured to himself.

What Naina said brought more confusion to the current situation. "I haven't heard of the Mars Federation either." Donna scratched her head while responding. "From what I know, the Coalition also invaded Mars more than a decade ago and the planet should be under occupation."
Instructor W entered the conversation again. "If we're considered allies then we should work together to find out what exactly happened to us." He said. With the cease of hostility Donna deactivated the shotel from heating.
The video of Naina appeared on the interface of the Sandrock, prompting Donna turned on the video to allow the pilot to see who she is speaking to. While the Gundam pilot remained confused with what's going on, Instructor W thought that the pilot he saw resembled someone he vaguely knew to a degree but the Martian pilot he's seeing now is female and younger. What Naina should see now on her interface is a dark-haired, grey-eyed young woman with a blond man in a labcoat wearing goggles to cover his eyes next to her. "It wasn't us that sent the weird signal." She replied still in a puzzled state. "It must be someone else if you didn't either."
The Instructor gave a word. "We should continue looking for the answer together." He suggested. "There are more unknown signals nearby so there might be someone that can answer our questions."

The General realised by how his path was being secured, there is no way to escape questioning of the whereabouts of the President. He got a cyanide capsule out of his pocket, something he will use if the situation is truely dire. His car arrived at a disused depot occupied by the Berlin forces and disembarked to a communications tower. He entered the abandoned control room and began typing at one of the computers. He wrote the serial number of the shuttle to communicate one last time to the President.

The OZ members found themselves an unused room to use to discuss their matters. "Blair is difficult to accept in this situation." Lord Lindemann explained. "He was willing to backstab the Coalition."
"But he helped in liberating Brussels." Stuart added. "We can give him limited power as a small gesture. However, we should keep a close eye on him."
"I met a similar general that betrayed the Coalition on Mars." Donna related. "He can try to hijack OZ under our noses."
Lord Lindemann concluded the topic of Blair. "I will say we accept him but we will keep him on surveillance." He said. He brought on a new topic. "Another topic is to organise the organisation." He continued. "I'll create a charter for our structure and we'll see what else the parliament will say."
Donna listened to her father. She didn't have much to say on OZ but it sounds like her father would get a place for her. She looked back at the old photo again to compare the change that happened across the years.

Milou was glad that Mercurio agreed. "There are numerous assassination attempts within the Coalition." He informed. "You really can't trust anyone from there. Before we left Mars I think there was one going on also."

I got myself a signature quickly so people would know I posted.

The Sandrock continued to move around where they are. The place looked completly real that the pilot and her mentor couldn't think of an explanation on how they end up here. The radar still showed a number of unidentified units with no indication of friend or foe.
Instructor W noticed there is a signal that seemed to be close to them. It was close that he realised there is a presence nearby."Donna! The corner!" He alarmed.
The pilot saw the Tallgeese leaping from the corner, aiming that dober gun at her. "Tallgeese?" Donna asked the Instructor. "It shouldn't be possible."
"There shouldn't be any more units of the Tallgeese surviving." The Instructor noted. "It's possible for the Coalition to create one but we'll see who this is first before getting into an unnecessary firefight." He didn't receive reports of a surviving Tallgeese either.
Donna took the advice and gave a reply. "This is Second Lieutenant Donna Lindemann of the Earth Sphere United Nations Gundam team." She responded. "Instructor W is also with me. I would like to know if you are with the Falson Coalition or anything else the Earth-Sphere considers as their enemy." The shotel slowly began to glow red in case things get messy between the two to call for a fight.
