-T.R.S. Crusader: Sick Bay-

Silver had gotten back to the sick bay, pausing, as Cosmo was waking up.

“Hey Cosmo,” he said, sitting on his bed. He still looked disturbed.

-Colony 101: Rica's Manor-

Outside, Ethan stepped out.

“Hello...Jackson,” Ethan smirked, “I apologize. Samuel was trying to talk me out of the fight. Now, do you have a place in mind to start, or right here?”

Back inside, Samuel sighed, finishing his meal and heading for the door...Maybe he could try and stop the fight...

Galv sat next to Melanie, glaring a little at Jason.

“Ooooh...Is someone black mailing someone elsseeee?” a voice Jason would know said, coming from behind him and covering his eyes.

“Guess who!” Erin grinned from behind the boy.

Galv blinked. This was...odd...

Walter didn't do anything, merely leaning in a corner.

-Azmuth's Firely-

“They survived,” Ben said suddenly, to the Oban Four, walking past them, “That's what's important. They were able to walk away and continue...”


In the hangar bay, Azmuth waited for another response, having asked KOS MOS who made her and what the purpose of her creation was.

Colony 101: Rica's Manor-

Kanna stepped back into the room she had slept in, intent on fixing her hair and getting a bit more presentable. She walked over to her window and sat her mug of coffee on it, looking out for a moment.

Down below Ethan and Rica stood, she wandered what they were up to....

Meanwhile Melanie, like Galv, was confused into silence as Erin came in, covering Jason's eyes with her hands. Jason froze for a moment before hearing the girl's voice.

"Oh geez" He muttered with a sigh "Morning...Sunshine? Uh...You look a lot more...Happy today? You okay?"

Melanie giggled and Jason shot her a look.

-Azmuth's Firely-

"See dad Ben's got the right idea!" Eva declaired happily

Don was still too busy glaring at Jordan to say anything. Rick snickered.


-T.R.S. Crusader: Sick Bay-

Cosmo looked to Silver offering him a smile...The smile soon faded upon seeing his expression.

"Are you well this morning Silver?"

[Azmuth’s Firefly]

Jordan was conflicted. On the one hand, having Molly holding onto his shoulder and calling them ‘the perfect match’ was pretty awesome, even if it she did not mean it in the way he would have liked.

On the other hand, exactly because of the way he would have liked her to mean that, Don’s glare scared him worst than any of the pirates from yesterday had.

Jordan took a gulp. “Let’s just… be happy everything ended so well.” The gunner suggested.


In the hangar area, KOS MOS spoke.

“I was created by Shion Uzuki, as an Anti-Gnosis weapon.” She replied.
((Sorry AGOI! I missed this one))

[Colony 101: Rica's Manor]

Felix sat quietly, eating a bit as he watched the others. What a group! He could tell some strange things had happened to them before, but at least they seemed happy.


Outside, Rica grinned. “See, now you’re just going to go and make this worse on yourself! That… or you’re trying to throw me off by irritating me.”

The former NERV Agent gave a grin. “Not here. On that hill to the south. Far enough from the house that there won’t be any accidents.”

[T.R.S. Crusader: War Room]

Sama was in the war room, standing quietly. He sighed at the news that they might already be late for the battle – always bad news.

Asuka actually fell silent too. As much as she wanted to show up Didymus and rub his nose in her being right and his being wrong . . . she did not want that to come at the cost of people’s blood being spilled.

Heidegger stood by, his arms crossed.

“Well, it happens. We can’t have the enemy attack us on our schedule. I trust that you have a strategy to drive those bastards away. They destroyed our the Galactic Forum and we must pay them back in blood! The Republic will use every tool at its disposal to make them pay.”

The Admiral had a unique way of ‘not getting involved in Didymus command’.

Didymus nodded.

"Well, sir, I did observe some of their tactics at the Forum, and am working on ways to capitalize on them. They seem to be less advanced than us, and pay no heed to casualties, among other things. As for a strategy, well, I can't form a very intricate plan without knowing what we're up against, exactly, but I can say, well, for one, Captain Katsuragi?"

"Sir...?"

"You'll keep me informed on new data?"

"..yes sir."

Something about her still seemed reserved, as if she still intended to act like a NERV officer. It was to be expected, though, right?

"Sama, as usual, you'll be flying runs in a mech. I don't know if I'll be out in the field in one myself, but-"

The fleet was approaching, but suddenly, the holographic display of the system suddenly showed numerous ships and craft of non-human make...the same types fought at the Forum.

"We're...they beat us there..." Didymus said, seemingly depressed, weakened, by this fact.

However, his strength seemed to return in an instant.

"Alright! They may have beaten us at the Forum, but this is OUR territory now. We stop them HERE. Besides, it looks like they've not got as many as last time! I need you all to report to battle stations now and await orders! Sama, suit up."

He turned to Heidegger.

"Sir? Anything else? Shall I take to the field in a mech myself, or remain here in the war room?"

“Feeling better, definitely,” Erin said, removing her hands from Jason's eyes and leaning on him, “Thanks to you!”

Walter got up and walked out of the room, having not eaten anything. He didn't seem bothered by anything.

Maybe he'd go watch the fight.

Erin watched her brother go, then took a chair by Jason, producing a plate from seemingly nowhere, and munched some bacon.

-Outside-

Ethan smirked, following Rica to the hill, “It's not my fault you have such an easily exploitable weakness.”

-Azmuth's Firefly-

Ben just walked past the Oban people with a frown, still thinking.


In the hangar bay, Azmuth looked at KOS MOS

“I have further questions,” Azmuth said, “Who is this Shion Uzuki, and what is a Gnosis?”

(No problem GS!)

-T.R.S. Crusader: Sick Bay-

“It's...” Silver paused, looking to Cosmo, “You remember The Doctor? The guy who was helping us? The one in the brown coat.”

Silver sighed, “He died...Last night. Taking down a man who threatened everyone...The Doctor is dead...”

[TRS Crusader: War Room]

Sama nodded. “Sounds good to me, sir. I’d rather be out in the field than in a war room anyway.”

He had never been a ‘behind the scenes’ kind of guy. Sure, barking orders was fun, but he was rarely the highest-ranked man in the room, and fighting was even better. Plus he was still unsure if he even technically held a rank, and would have to check on that when next he spoke to Snake.

On his way out, he paused and looked to Asuka. “Whatever you’re doing, just don’t pull anything during this fight, okay, red?”

Asuka nodded. “Relax, it’s cool.”

Sama doubted that, but he headed for his mech.

Heidegger shook his head. “You’re in command here, Colonel, I’m merely an observer. Take whatever action you feel would most guarantee our victory.”

[Colony 101: Hill Near Manor]

Rica gave a small chuckle. “You might be surprised, Ethan. I’m not the kind of guy to fall for such a cheap trick in battle.”

He walked to one side of the hill and stood there. “Well, whenever you’re ready.” Rica adjusted his sunglasses.

It was time for him to show off what he could do.

[Azmuth’s Firefly]

KOS-MOS nodded, indicating she understood.

“Shion Uzuki was the Chief Engineer of the KOS-MOS Project General Operation System Research Center, Vector Industries First R&D Division.” KOS-MOS explained.

“The Gnosis are a race of creatures that exist in a incorporeal form. They are isolated and cannot travel space on their own. They reproduce by attacking other species and turning them into Gnosis with special venom. Gnosis cannot be harmed by any ordinary weapon humanity current posses. For these reasons, a single Gnosis can annihilate an entire population. I am the weapon that can turn the Gnosis corporeal.

However, as the Gnosis cannot travel space on their own, and as such were not viewed as a threat. I was re-out fitted to be an Anti-Zerg weapon.”

T.R.S. Crusader-war room

Didymus paused, reflecting. If the admiral took command, he could help fight as well. Of course, the things he had heard about him...it was better to remain in command himself, and although it wasn't impossible, it was certainly easier to focus on directing forces when he was in his war room in the relative safety of deep within the Crusader, as opposed to out in his personal combat mech.

"I shall remain here, for the time being, at least. We'll see how things go..."

The fleet itself, soon arrived at the system, and began to launch its fighters and mechs, and bring its weapon and defense systems online...

...the planet itself was being attacked by a sizable force of metarex, one that the Republic's fleet outnumbered, but still, enough to keep Didymus on his toes.

They were concentrated on the other side of the planet, and Didymus thought he knew why...

...his fears were confirmed when, moments later, a distress call came in. A female voice, calling for help, asking for anyone receiving to come to their aid and secure the city, giving directions to where survivors were camped...Didymus had the fleet move to engage the metarex as quickly as possible, and soon, the battle had began as the two fleets began to "merge", as was often the case in major fleet battles. Didymus suspected that Sama was already out and about by now, and via his command console, spoke to him.

"Sama! Take some more mechs and get to the surface! That city planetside we're fighting almost directly above-the enemy's invaded it! Do we have the details...?"

"Ground invasion, sir." Misato's voice came in. "They're trying to systematically take control of the city...and they're taking prisoners. As many as they can, from what I'm seeing."

"Yeah, I see it too. Good work getting through their jam."

"It wasn't that hard, but now we should-"

"Yeah, Sama! Get down there, we've got survivors holding up in what looks like a local school. I see a defensive perimeter, but it's not likely to hold for long. I take it the DSK can serve in a ground/atmospheric combat role?"

Republic fringe colony city-school

She had come here to get away from it. So she could forget about war. Her time was served, the war was over. She just wanted to live a quiet life, doing the only thing besides fighting she thought she was good at-teaching.

Then, they came. At first, it was traumatizing. Memories of that day...she could still see the bodies of her students from time to time...she had failed them.

That wasn't going to happen again. Now, she taught even younger students, in more civilian matters, in a legal manner. To think...from mercenary instructor to grade school teacher. Strange, but fitting. It had been just an ordinary day...until the sudden appearence of those bloodthirsty machines had forced her to take her energized whip from its place in her safe deposit box.

She watched her student die before, while she had lived. This wasn't going to happen again.

At the perimeter the local military and police had set up around the school, a figure from Sama's past was demonstrating some skills she hoped she never had to use again to prevent something she had vowed to herself would never again take place...and the metarex were falling before her...but could she keep it up?

Quistis looked up at the sky, hoping to see something-some form of relief-rather than just more metarex craft, before quickly refocusing and striking out at another invading robot with her energized whip.

Jason took another bite of his meal, swallowing the bacon. "Ummm glad to help" He answered, a bit red in the face. Melanie fought back another giggle, eating a bit of her own meal.


Azmuth’s Firefly

“Let’s just… be happy everything ended so well.”

"We'll just go with that" Rick said with a grin. Eva gave a nod, dropping her hand from Jordan and retaking her seat. She reached for her father's coffee taking a drink.

Don looked over to Ben, trying to ignore the urge to take out his anger on the nearest being....Which happened to be Jordan...

"Where is KOS-MOS being kept?" He asked Ben, snatching his mug back from his daughter.

T.R.S. Crusader: Sick Bay-

Cosmo stood blankly as Silver relayed the news....

"He died?"

She remembered what he had told her. He was the last of his kind two...He knew how she felt, he was kind. Willing to help everyone in their time of need.

Cosmo then did what many children did when given such news. She was a princess, and was supposed to withold herself as such. But she started to cry.

[Republic Fringe Colony City: Streets]

The city was in disarray. Buildings were aflame, vehicles overturned and the bodies of the slain littered the streets. Many people ran, screaming and crying as they attempted to escape.

Local police were doing their best, but their police-issued weapons were nowhere near strong enough to be effective against the Metarex. The sheer number of police it took to take down one of the invading aliens made it impossible for the police to be any more than a minor nuisance for the Metarex.

Yet down one street, there WAS something highly-effective against the monstrous invaders. A green Andalite was storming through the streets on his powerful hooves, using his tail-blade to slice away at a Metarex who seemed intent on crushing a building into debris.

When the Metarex turned to destroy its attacker, the Andalite jumped into the air and instantly transformed into a hawk. Flying above the Metarex, the green hawk transformed again; this time into a gigantic green Wampa, which grabbed the Metarex and broke its neck with his powerful claws.

The Wampa then transformed into a small, skinny green boy in a purple and black suit. “Oh yeah, who da man?”

As another Metarex approached him from behind, a second figure jumped over the green boy’s head and smashed into the Metarex’s body. This figure was a tall, well-built man who wore a gray hoodie that concealed most of his body.

The Metarex grabbed the hoodie-wearing man in its teeth and bit down hard; it would have killed an ordinary person.

“Hey! Beat it, I’m no chew toy!” The man grinned, and suddenly his right hand transformed into a cannon nozzle. He pressed it against the head of the dragon Metarex and fired a blue sonic beam; punching a hole in the Metarex’s head.

The man fell out of its mouth and ripped off the half-destroyed hoodie. His body, with the exception of half of his face, seemed to be made entirely of metal.

“BOOYAH!” Cyborg yelled as the dragon Metarex stumbled back.

“Dude… do you know awesome it would have been if you’d started playing ‘Beat It’ when you said beat it?” Beast Boy asked with a grin.

“For the last time, Gar, I’m NOT your personal iPod!” Cyborg yelled back, a little annoyed.

“Aww, but Vic! It would have been SO cool.” Beast Boy complained.

Neither of them noticed the Dragon Metarex got back up. The robotic alien roared and prepared to fire missiles at them; that got their attention. The two gasped, but before the Metarex could attack a boomerang-shaped blade shot from behind them and struck the Metarex in the chest.

The boomerang ripped through the Metarex’s chest for a moment and then returned to its owned. The dragon Metarex roared, but suddenly a thick green sludge started oozing all around where the boomerang had hit – and it quickly consumed the dragon Metarex and caused it to explode.

“Bio! Gets them every time.” A female voice called.

“We SO could have beaten that guy.” Beast Boy insisted, crossing his arms.

“Come on Gar, you know never to argue with a woman – especially when she’s your boss, AND especially when she just saved your furry green butt.” Cyborg grinned.

“Dude, I’m only a furry half the time.” Beast Boy protested.

Cyborg blinked. “I… did not need to know that.”

Beast Boy glared. “DUDE! I didn’t mean THAT kind of furry!”

“Knock it off, both of you!” The woman yelled at them. “This Colony is still in serious danger… it’s just LIKE the Republic to be late! They can’t even defend their own Colony…”

The half-machine man and his green companion both just shook their heads; knowing better than to say anything whenever their boss was on a rant about the Republic.

Suddenly, overhead, a mech flew into the atmosphere. It was an very long mech, shaped like a dragon…

[Republic Fringe Colony – DSK Cockpit]

Sama had heeded Didymus order and was now leading a small mech squadron to the city. He was headed for the school he had been briefed about.

“Colonel! We’ve got a problem!” Sama called over his communicator to Didymus. He had kept a channel open with the War Room. “The Metarex are attacking a school, and some of the smaller ones have entered it… the mechs are too big to fit inside.”

He paused, and then decided what he had to do. “I’m going in on foot – I’ll have the mech squadron deal with the bigger metarex outside, but if there are survivors inside I’ve got to save them! DSK has plenty of room.”

He neglected to mention that the DSK would only have the extra room in Dragon Mode, which would prevent Sama from using the far more powerful Fighter Mode; a decision that would leave him vulnerable. Still, given the circumstances, he felt he had no choice.

“Boys, hold the line! Take out those big ones and keep any more of the little ones from getting in that school!” Sama commanded to the mechs with him. As they engaged, he set the DSK to hover above the school – shields up – and he repelled down on a line.

Jumping down, he entered through a window.

“Hello!? Is anyone here? I’m with the UTR, I’m here to take you to safety!” Sama called as he ran through the hall, his gunblade in hand…

[Republic Fringe Colony City: Streets]

Near the school, the trio who had been attacking the Metarex watched as the Republic Mechs arrived.

“Looks like the Republic’s here… and they brought some big toys.” Cyborg eyed the mechs like a child looking at a favorite toy. “Oh MAN, I wish I could get one of those…”

“…” Their boss was being abnormally quiet. Usually she would have been ranting about the late response from the Republic right now, but as she watched the mechs engaged the Metarex, and watched as one pilot repelled down into the school, she fell quiet.

“… Come on! Those chumps should be able to secure this area; let’s move on to downtown and take out more of those monsters!” She commanded.

Cyborg and Beast Boy exchanged confused looks, but both followed their boss.

[Azmuth’s Firefly]

Jordan gulped. The way Don was looking at him… it made him feel VERY uncomfortable. He wondered if the race manager was going to yell at him, or simply keep staring a hole in his head.

Either way, he decided he should grab some breakfast, eat fast, and then get somewhere else.

[TRS Crusader – War Room]

Heidegger watched the many screens and holograms as the fleets assaulted the Metarex, and the mechs arrived on the Colony. He did not say a word. Suddenly, his loud personality had become very quiet. He was watching intensely... waiting for something.

"What the-negative, Sama! Leave interior security to the marines already on the ground there! Get back in the DSK and help clear out the city and prevent enemy reinforcements from landing! You can't carry all the survivors in the school; I'll send evac their way as soon as we can carve a clear path for them up here!"

Indeed, as the fleets battled it out, Didymus, as usual, was directing, trying to find weaknesses in the enemy formation-but also arranging his fleet so as to "contain" the metarex one. To hold it back, and prevent it from getting a clear shot at the planet, or from spreading around over it any more.

The battle went well enough. The Republic's ships were more advanced, and again, the metarex were acting somewhat defensively, now that they were being challenged...

...in fact, it seemed as though they had been caught off-guard. They seemed somewhat...paniced, and even unprepared...

...Didymus was finding this battle comparatively easy.

He was confused as to why the enemy seemed to be in such disarray and confusion, but was thankful for it nonetheless, and continued to direct the fleet...

Republic colony-school

Misato's voice rang out in Sama's comlink.

"Sama! I'm your intel now! The colonel, if you didn't hear, has ordered you back to your mech! The local forces guarding the school (there was both police and military) should be able to handle any infiltration! YOU need to get back in the DSK for more heavy-lifting! I'm picking up some other pockets of resistance around the city-one, at least-heading straight for the enemy landing zone in the city center, and-"

She wasn't done. However, something else had happened in the meantime.

---
Another whip, another crackle. Another robot downed. A robptic claw swpied at her; she dodged it, but BARELY. Her whip was hit, and it fizzed, its interior damaged.

A marine behind her, seeing her situation, popped out and mowed down the metarex that had struck her weapon, but Quistis herself turned around and ran past the perimeter, back towards the school.

"WEAPON REPAIR!" she called, to be heard above the noise.

She sprinted as fast as she could, up the stairs, to the top floor. Her classroom; that was were their makeshift armory/repair shop was. She'd be able to focus on repairing her weapon, without having to worry about being shot at or mauled for a few moments.

But the DSK...howevering right above the school...she wondered...


It was at this time, as Misato contined talking to Sama, that she ran into the hall he was in...and stopped, briefly, seeing him.

She blinked, then ran past him into the door he was standing next to; her classroom, got out some parts, some tools, and started repairing her weapon...

Erin smiled, munching her food. Galv paused, staring at his plate, then sighed.

“Erin...Look...I can't accept you or Walter as...as siblings. I just can't. Not right now...But I've been reminded that there are people who trusted me, and are giving me a chance...While I can't accept you as a sibling...I can give you both a chance to be a friend...” the red head said.

Erin paused, then blinked, and smiled once more. “Tha...thank you...”

-Colony 101: Hill Near Manor-

“Same for me,” Ethan said, surveying the area, “One question...Do you intend to use any weapons in this fight?”

-Azmuth's Firefly: Kitchen-

“In the cargo bay next to your racer,” Ben answered. “Azmuth said he wanted to figure out what it was exactly.”

-Azmuth's Firefly: Cargo Bay-

“So you were made into a weapon...” Azmuth said, “Where were you stored, and what was the purpose of your storage then?”

-T.R.S. Crusader: Sick Bay-

“He did...” Silver said, sighing. However, when Cosmo started to cry, he blinked, and walked over to her.

“Hey...he might...might be gone. But the ideals he stood for are still alive. The Plumbers will fight to continue what he taught us all,” Silver said, trying to comfort the poor plant girl. He knew a bit what she was feeling. While he wasn't technically the last of his kind, he was thrown threw time and was trying to figure out his place.

“It'll work out...I know it will!” he said with a slight smile.

“The future will be better...” Silver thought to himself, “I have to make sure history doesn't repeat itself...”

-U.T.R. Fringe Colony: Streets-

Walking from a large blue box, a blonde girl in a green shirt walked down the streets. She pinwheeled to the side, avoiding a blast from a Metarex, then ran forward, kicking it.

Jenny stood there, a blue light now playing over the Metarex, deactivating it.

The Doctor's daughter was intending to show that The Plumbers were still here to help and fight...Of course, very few outside The Plumber's knew that The Doctor was dead.

Melanie frowned a bit, taking a bite of her food, happy that Galv was feeling better about the whole situation between he, Erin, and Walter. Truthfully Melanie still didn't trust the girl...But she really had no say in the matter. Jason seemed to like her and Galv was willing to give her a chance. She would just grin and bear it...

"Perhaps I will check in on them then" Don said. In truth he was desprately trying to get away from the situation at hand (Eva was still grinning widely) but he was also interested in KOS-MOS....After all it was the reason Eva and Jordan had gotten into this crazy situation.

Cosmo's small cries turned into sobs, she was now caught up in crying not just for the Doctor but also for the situation. She was crying because another person ended up like her family. It was a very overwhelming feeling for the eight-year-old.

((I apologize for not responding sooner.))

[Republic Fringe Colony City: School]

“Tell you what Misato, I’ll compromise.” Sama still did not quite understand the fact that orders weren’t typically negotiable. He pulled up the metallic device on his wrist and typed in a few commands.

The DSK above his head turned and flew off, towards the nearest pocket of resistance as indicated by his map. The mech was highly-advanced and could perform some combat operations without a pilot.

“I’ll weaken the enemies, then have the DSK swing back by to pick me and the survivors up; then I’ll head back and take out more of these metal jerks. Deal?”

He had just arrived in the school as he said it, and at that moment he felt like he just ran into a brick wall. Quistis was standing just down the hall from him. There was a pause, and then she ran off.

He could hear Misato’s voice in his earpiece, but he wasn’t listening in the slightest. A million emotions had just rang out in his mind, and all of them were suddenly silenced as a Metarex came charging at him. Sama noticed only as the monster was bearing down on him.

He jumped to the side and slashed his Gunblade; the Metarex was able to swipe him with a metallic claw, but it was taken out. Sama winced at the pain in his side, but ignored it and ran into the classroom after Quistis.

“Where are the kids? Do you have an escape route? We need to get them somewhere safe.” Sama blurted out, now running on autopilot himself.

[Colony 101: Hill Near Manor]

Rica shook his head and grinned a bit.

“Weapons? According to NERV, I am a weapon… but if you’re talking about my gun, no, I’ve no intention of using that.” He drew his pistol at those words, briefly pointed it at Ethan, and then twirled it on his hand and threw it off to the side.

[Azmuth's Firefly: Cargo Bay]

KOS-MOS closed her eerie red eyes and paused. After several seconds, she opened her eyes once more.

“… I am afraid the information you’ve request could not be found. It is possible that my memory was damaged at some point; or those memories may be encrypted and inaccessible.” KOS-MOS spoke in her eerie monotone.

Suddenly, KOS-MOS grabbed both sides of her head. She let out a cry and fell to her knees. All at once, the machine-like voice was replaced with a gentle, frightened and human sounding voice.

“… Help me… please… lies… they lie… other self…”

KOS-MOS seemed to shine with a strange light that came from the odd metal device that covered her ears, and suddenly she stood up straight again, all signs of emotion having vanished.

[ [TRS Crusader – War Room]

A private com-channel beeped, and Heidegger stepped aside and pressed a finger against his earpiece. He stood for a moment, and then he grinned to himself. He doubted that any of the others in the room had noticed with their attention focused on the battle, but even if they had, he would not have cared.

“… Colonel! It would appear the battle is going in our favor, but one can never be too careful. We fight an unfamiliar foe, and I believe the only way our victory can be assured is to use every available resource at our disposal.” The Admiral said as he stepped forward.

“My sources tell me you have captured NERV technology aboard this ship.” Heidegger decided to get right to it. “I say we use it to give ourselves a tactical edge.”

Misato was clearly not pleased.

"Compromise, what the-Sama, need I remind you, these orders come straight from YOUR old friend, you'll have to deal with HIM should you need to..."

Didymus cut in.

"Sama, you can do that for NOW, but I want you back in your mech as soon as possible."

He would have argued further, but many matters were vying for his attention, so he really didn't look too deeply into it. Besides, the DSK WAS fighting on auto-pilot.

As Sama ran into the Quistis' classroom, she didn't even so much as look up, or, for that matter, show any emotion. She spoke in a professional, yet hurried (it WAS in the middle of a battle) tone, one that he may have recognized from SeeD combat training, as she continued to repair her weapon.

"The children are on the second floor, with a full unit of marines guarding them. We...don't have an escape route. We were hoping that, well, the military would show up...I take it it has?"

T.R.S. Crusader-war room

Didymus quickly sent out a broadcast to the colony:

"Attention, all remaining humans on the colony, this is Colonel Didymus commanding the Republic Third Fleet and Army. We're here; help has arrived. We have engaged the enemy above the colony and I am sending reinforcements planetside as the need and opportunity arise. Transmit your signals for evacuation at your own discretion, we will do what we can to secure the area."

Anyone with an active communicator in the system may have heard that.

Then, after Sama's "compromise"...

"Dang it, Sama, insubordination..." he muttered. "...captain, advise him as needed."

"Yes sir."

Then, after his muttering about "insubordination", came Heidegger's order.

Oh the irony.

Didymus tensed up.

"Sir, I believe that would be very unadvisable. We DO have an Eva unit with us, but it's currently offline, and with all due respect, I believe that the risk in deploying such a weapon outweighs the gain. I think we should at LEAST consult EarthCom before doing so...it IS an illegally-developed weapon, after all..." he said, both he and Heidegger knowing, probably, that EarthCom would forbid the Eva's use, especially since they were winning the battle.

However, he knew that Heidegger may simply remove him from command if he outright refused to comply (or insisted that the matter be brought to EarthCom's attention) and deploy it anyway, he made ANOTHER suggestion.

"...or if I can't change your mind about it, sir, then I request permission to fly with it in my own mech. I can still command, and I'll be there in case something goes wrong..."
(Insert witty/moving/inspiring phrase here)

Gas mileage is pretty bad, but traffic jams aren't a problem.

Colony 101: Rica's Manor


Kanna walked away from the window for a moment in effort to get ready properly for the upcoming day. She brushed her long hair straight and washed her face. She would have applied a bit of her normal makeup but she truthfully had no clue where her and her children's bags have ended up since the Fourm. This left them with the clothes on their backs and not much more. She made a mental note that she needed to get a few things sometime in the near future.

When she decided she looked presentable the woman picked up her cup of coffee and made her way back to the window.

Outside she could still see Rica and Ethan, both looking as they were nearing a fight. Really she didn't care, but for some reason she decided to watch from the window, even opening it to get a better look. A light breeze came through causing the woman to shiver but to almost smile. It was a bit like being on Earth again. There was rain, breezes, sunshine, and clouds-sorta...

The woman leaned out of the window a bit, watching the two.




Azmuth's Firefly: Cargo Bay

Don Wei had heard a bit of the commotion as he left the kitchen heading for Azmuth and KOS-MOS, but had been caught a bit off guard as he reached the door of the room that held the two.

Giving a slight knock the older man let himself in.

"Am I interrupting something" he announced looking at the strange being that had lead his daughter and gunner around the galaxy. She......No...It looked strange.
