Paul had been sitting down with a group of soldiers in order to consolidate what was going to happen in his head. The soldiers had welcomed their lieutenant but had no included him too much in any conversation. It was possibly because of the age difference between them regardless of what it really was about however Paul had taken to simply not caring. With unknowns aboard his ship he had to prepare extra guards to patrol. That would get some of the men a bit more pissed off at him but it would be worth it to protect the majority of the crew. Even if these guys weren't enemies and he was just wasting time with guarding them he'd be a fool to just let them wander around the Sundown this late at night, or what he assumed was night, without some sort of soldier watching. And of course since the majority of them were women he'd have to make sure the guards were good enough to resist certain temptations or be able to shoot the other if he didn't do his job. Maybe female guards would be better for the job, Paul thought to himself as he took a sip of a water bottle he had gotten from the soldier working the counter. He breathed in deeply as he looked around the nearly empty room. This would be a constant thing for the next couple days if not more and Paul knew that he and Jason would need to hold the ship together else anarchy fall. The bridge crew, Beta, and what remained of Alpha including their Captain Grant would remain loyal to Jason but SIGMA and some of the others....those would bring trouble if things got out of hand. After finishing his drink Paul decided that it was time to go to bed and try to simply sleep on his ideas. After saying good bye to a couple of the soldiers who were still there he left and walked to the room he and Jason both bunked in and sat in his usual spot in the bed to the far left with the one in the middle being left open and Jason took the one on the far right. Jason wasn't there by the time he got there and it was probably because he was off at the bridge talking with the 'night' crew about what to do. The 'night' crew's job was to be active on deck while the main crew slept. They were a sort of B Squad while the main kids slept. Jason's crew ,while diversely young and old alike, were all talented individuals and the only reason they were here in the first place.

Jason's job was to take them and mold them into stronger individuals but recently the ship had turned into a training camp for certain individuals and was starting to slowly become more and more annoying as the time passed. All because ZAFT's 'rogues' were still raiding here and there and not in mass anymore the blasted generals all decided to stick them with less experienced men and women more and more. It was going to turn this massive ship he had learned to call home a boot camp. Paul sighed and removed the main part of his uniform leaving his shirt and pants on and simply fell flat down on his bed and fell asleep again forgetting to go and tell the guards to step up patrols in the officer's deck where the 'new' crew members were located at. Jason on the other hand had already kept his mind going around the possible outcome of him being at the short end of the stick for once in his life. He had always had a place to run in his military service and now he was out in the middle of nowhere with this place as a 'base' and this 'base' only consisted of a couple of mobile suits and this over-grown battleship carrier. Williams looked at Jason who was sitting there and looking out the window with unblinking eyes. "Captain sir at you ok?" Williams asked of him whom nodded slowly, "I'm just tired...I'm sure Paul is as well since all of this crazy business is going to go down I'm going to have to go and make sure everyone's role is definitive. We're on our own. I've already sent out rationing orders and the guards are to rotate stations between the squads until we all get back." Jason proclaimed to Williams as she sat there unsure of herself. The Baker girl was meanwhile reading a small book and studying the controls intently. The girl is as green as summer grass....was this all the general had to offer him? SIGMA was welcome but at the same time he hadn't seen them fight before and he was cautious about trusting their loyalties to the cause. They'd obey like good soldiers until they figured out that he had no solution to this problem. "Where's Axer at Williams?" Jason asked the girl who replied he had gone to bed and she was taking control of both stations. Jason sighed and supposed the boy had worked his butt off getting this whole ship moving was a massive task and with only a handful of crew on the bridge it'd only get worse. But he had little interest in thinking of the worst that could happen only the BETTER of what could happen. He had lost his own men somewhere out there after a roll call found that squad members were missing from Beta and SIGMA and the whole of OMEGA was gone as well. But in exchange he at least gained three gundams class or level suits in that regard and their armor was...interesting it didn't show up on radar and the lack of phase shift or batteries like in Raigo disturbed him. These weren't ordinary GUNDAM models if there were ordinary gundam models at all...."Well Williams I suppose it's time you and Baker hit the hay." Jason said as the 'night' crew started to funnel into the ship. Williams nodded to her captain and the rest of the crew saluted their commanding officer before they themselves all went to bed. However Williams was pulled aside from Baker for something before she could get out of the building. "Uh excuse me I forgot which room I'm supposed to be bunking in...can you please allow me to come with you it won't prove to much of a hassle." Baker asked Williams who thought about it. She could just help her find her own bunk but she didn't want to seem rude to the new girl so what the heck why not they had an extra bunk anyways she could use luckily enough. One of their comrades had gone off this ship and had left it vacant before they had taken off for this mission. "Sure why not just come along with me." Williams told Baker as the two K(C)atherines both went off to their destination.

Chapter 1: The Initial Conflict
Timeskip - One Day later Later approximately 2:00-
The next day and a half had gone on without much of a hitch except for the strange reading found around the nearby area. The reason they had not tried to go into space is because the ship was not capable of doing so without some sort of help and because the gravity was to strong in the upper atmosphere as if the place had been designed to keep anything on the ground trapped inside. It was quite the conundrum as Jason had never seen anything like this before and the nearby citadel and military style bases provided little to no help. They found some basic rations and food inside the bases along with some typical fire arms that seemed rather generic but no mobile suits or anything regarding human life. All the technology inside the military bases to the west and east and south have proved to have no technology that belonged to any one group. It was as if they were just left up for grabs. Jason speculated this as he switched around the groups for patrolling. They had tried to send out a signal to any nearby humans but had received no luck as of late. He wasn't sure what was going on but his long range scouts in Murasames had told them that there was a nearby desert for some strange reason and outside of that there was possibly some more bases out on the other end. Jason pondered what to do as he couldn't stay here for much longer without complaints about inactivity from his soldiers. He leaned forward in his chair looking out the window into the clear sky above him and twirled a coin around in his hand. Nothing had been especially new about the new arrivals as it seemed more and more likely that they wouldn't be able to much even if they had the chance to do so. Jason had still not relaxed his guard however and made sure Wilbur had the soldiers report to him and then him to Jason so if things got hairy Jason could say that Wilbur had been watching them because he didn't trust him leaving himself clear to any blame. Wilbur would take the blame because he was the head doctor and a close friend so he could understand what Jason needed from him. On top of that fact he had once heard, "You don't hurt your white mage." from one of his crew members whatever that meant he assumed white mage was similar to a doctor in that you don't hurt him without consequences.

Paul was sitting in the hanger modifying the Raigo to better work because he had little else to do along with head engineer Boris. The small man had been tweaking the gundam to make sure the thing smoothly operated in the terrain that was nearby. He wouldn't be much help if rocky terrain hindered him and despite the talk he had some time ago with the new crew members when they first met he would have been in a huge disadvantage if he had attacked them. Raigo was still configured to space flight at that time and while he knew this machine in and out he couldn't just reprogram the damn thing on the fly like some sort of super engineer. Paul moved the gundam's arms to make sure it was working as Boris told him everything was going fine. Breathing in heavily Paul considered how the day would play out if they were not moving or finding some sort of life nearby. Jason was probably feeling the heat right now as people knew nothing about where they were and they wanted someone to tell them. If Jason didn't provide they would start getting more and more discontent and Paul was not about to allow that.
