This is one of the many bases in the Northern African regions which the Union and AEU regularly occupy, there is a small town west where many of the locals have shops and restruants. |

Elisa walked across the runway over to her fighter's hanger. She walked through the open door and over to her bird. The fighter’s right engine was completely removed and several people were crowded around it. She looked over at the group and was about to walk over there when her crew chief walked up to her. "I wouldn't bother them Major. They are working as fast as they can.” He said placing his hand on her shoulder. “Parts on your fighter seem to wear out faster than others. I think you may not be the only Gremlin in that fighter." The Chief said with a slight smile. Elisa knew what he meant, she pushed her fighter harder than most pilots and it did spend more hours in the air then most other birds. "Well you let me know when it is ready to fly again; I get this haunting feeling that they are going to need me out there again." Elisa said dead seriously. The Chief hand heard that tone in Elisa before, it was her feeling she was letting everyone down. "Don't worry Major, she well be ready before the operation kicks off. Even if I have to push it into battle." The Chief said reassuringly. He really wished he could get a second fighter just for Elisa to use, his crew had to extra people and he still could not keep the fighter in the air as much as Anders wanted. Elisa smiled. “Thanks Chief. I am counting on you as always.” Elisa said as she turned around and cursed under her breath. She did not know what to do why she waited for her fighter. She figured she would go to the rec. room and see if any of the nuggets on the base would play her in a game of billiards. |

The Alps class ship Epsilon was returning from its last patrol on board all the crew members were tired out from a long and drawn out mission, they had only run into tanks but it had taken them atleast 5 days to find those tanks, and they were in the heated desert, which was freezing at night. All of them were worn and exhausted, not reallly looking for the their next mission. As the ship neared the base it was guided in the captain looking on. He turned on the loud speaker for the vessel "Attention crew members of the Epsilon this is your captain Lt. Colonel Richards, we have arrived at our destination. Finish up your work then you may report to the hanger for further orders." he finished the communications just as the ship had finished its docking with the base. The back hatch of the ship opened and many jeeps pulled out. Three giants machines stood up and started to walk out the back of the Epsilon into the hanger of the Sudan base for their maintanence check, one of them was black blue and white. It walked over to its station and locked down into it just as the rest of the Gundams had as well. The hatch opened and young man pulled off his helmet shaking his hair out, a mechanic took a lift up to the cockpit. "How'd she run out there?" he asked. Oren looked at him "Sluggish can you fix that?" he asked in a dead pan voice as he climbed out and used the line to slide down to the ground. Many other crew members of the Epsilon were going over to the ship Oren joined them and stood in line Rihcards was in front of them. "As per our orders we are hooking up with the AEU soldiers here to continue testing on the G04 unit...for now you may relax until we recieve further others." Everyone saluted and started to walk off, Oren looked down he walked back over to his unit and looked up at it "G04...my Gundam" he said to himself. |

"Lieutenant Isabella Rae Dylandy, are you aware that the tactical plan you devised nearly caused the demise of one of our Gundams that just returned in the Epsilon?" one of the superior officers at the table said to her. The other made a noise to draw attention to himself,"Was that intentional on your part, Lieutenant Dylandy? Are you trying to take down the Union forces to further a plan of the AEU?" The third commanding officer glared at the other two,"Your plans are usually completely perfect. This is the first time that it has come close to failing. We are not putting you in front of a firing squad here, Lieutenant. It has been expressed by members of the team that they feel you might not be dedicated to your current assignment. Someone has mentioned that you miss your homeland." Isabella rolled her eyes and stared at the ceiling,"Let me be clear, gentlemen. I am not, nor have I ever been, on some twisted mission to slowly tear apart the Union. The AEU has undying gratitude toward the Union. I, myself, have a strong love and devotion for my comrades in the Union. I would not dream of betraying any of you." She smirked,"Concerning the man that messed up on the mission. It had nothing to do with my tactical plan. Review the files. He went off course drastically.Nothing would have happened to him if he followed my strategy. I would not be sitting in here right now." She sighed,"In regards to my feelings, I miss the beauty of Ireland and that is all. My dedication should not be questioned because I miss my weekly trips to Tara, that is ridiculous." She stood up and saluted her commanders,"If you will excuse me, gentlemen, the Epsilon has returned and I feel much too sociable to be locked in this office all day. I do hope this is the last time I have to face such questions." The commander that had done the glaring smiled at Isabella,"Go enjoy your day off, Isabella. Forgive us for this. You know we must take all precautions." Isabella laughed,"Yeah, I know. Don't worry about it, ok? I will see you later. Pool. You owe me for this." She left the room and made her way down to the hanger. She stood on the bridge over looking the madness below.It was something that she had missed horribly being held back for tactical purposes. More than one mission at a time was going to keep her stretched thin. She sighed and made her way down the steps smiling and nodding at Elisa as she passed her,"Major." She looked around and bit her lip,"New guy... New guy... where on Earth is the new guy?" The questioned was mumbled as she glanced around. She laughed lightly when she spotted him,"Bingo." Bella walked over to stand next to Oren. She stared up at his Gundam,"This is so the boy counterpart to mine." She pointed across the hangar to her pink accented Gundam,"Had them make it my favorite color." She extended her hand,"First Lieutenant Isabella Dyalndy, I didn't get a chance to welcome you before they had you leave on that mission." |

Elisa walked by Lieutenant Dylander and saluted to acknowledge her. "Good day Lieutenant. Say high too all those Unioin boys for me." Elisa said with a smile and wink. She did not really know Dylander personally, being that Isabella was mobile suit pilot and she was fighter pilot. As Elisa continued on she noticed the new Gundam exiting the ramps. "What a waste. I still don't know how those things ever drove use back." Elisa said to herself as she headed across the base. Elisa eventually made it to the Rec Room where there were several TV's, a couple pool tables and several comfortable looking chairs. She looked around and the place was empty. She figured everyone was out looking at the new mobile suits that had just arrived. Elisa pulled out her flask and took a drink before setting up one of the tables for a solo game of nine ball. After the balls were racked, she selected her favor stick and started the game. She played through the game rather quickly, clearing the table in one turn. She sighed, wishing she had an opponent to embarrass and take there money. She racked up the balls to play another solo game. |

Oren continued stare at his mobile suit, his eyes almost fogged over as if he wasn't there. Suddenly his mobile suit was gone as well he was back home, back in his village explosion after explosion the yelling the suffereing the smell of fresh gun powder. The yelling oh the yelling was terrible, he saw his father on his knees in front of everyong then the head of his father rolling to his feet. Oren blinked and saw his mother and sister in front of him as the men kicked open the door he heard someone yelling his name but it was neither one of them. Thats when he came back to reality and saw his mobile suit there again. He turned around to listen to the girl talk about how his gundam was the "boy" counterpart to his, he looked up as she pointed at her's he then looked back down at her. When she put her hand out he saluted her since she was a superior officer "Oren Aslan-kalp Ibrahim" he responded to her in his usual dead pan tone. "It is fine" he said to her about her not being able to greet him "Excuse me" he said as he started to walk away towards the Epislon. |

Isabella stood next to Oren waiting on a response. She was mentally chastiing herself for not showing any respect toward the Major. Habits were hard to break. Growing up on the base in Ireland made it hard to not play friends with every person that she had met before. Elisa and her had never been close, but they had met on occasion. They mostly knew each other through other people. She would have to apologize when she saw her again. She watched Oren as he seemed lost in space a moment before she ever began speaking to him. She couldn't tell were he had escaped to when he was looking at the Gundam. Her mind always traveled to the times that she had watched her mother destroy herself. It was like her greatest joy brought about the one thing that had nearly made it impossible to reach this point. Isabella laughed suddenly when Oren saluted her. She covered her mouth and held up a hand,"Forgive me, no one on this base has saluted me aside from my fellow AEU officers. Union men usually treat me... well I don't get respect. It is kind of funny. Sorry." She rolled her eyes and fell in to step beside him,"You don't look young enough to be saluting me anyway, Oren. Mind if I call you by your first name? I would call you by your rank if you had told it to me." She smiled at him,"You can call me Bella, by the way. I really dislike getting called Lieutenant by...." she cut her sentence short before she let her thoughts pop out of her mouth. She practically slammed her mouth shut. It wouldn't go over well with mister silent type if she just suddenly blurted out hot guys. That would be awkward. |

Oren stopped walking with the Liuetenant continued to speak to him, he turned around to face her "We were taught to show respepct to anyone that out ranked us" he said to her "I do not mind if you call me by my first name, my rank is 2nd Liuetenant however..." he continued to stare at her as she spoke as if he was staring right through he rto something else, though that was not the case it was just how he looked at people. "Bella" He said her name with little to no emotion making a mental note that that was what she liked to be called. "Excuse me, I am going to get some water" He said softly turning around and going tot he vending machines, he wasn't rying to be rude, he just never had much interaction iith people besides the crew on the Epsilon. |

Elisa was about to break when several Union personnel walked into the rec room laughing. "That mission sucked. All we seen were tanks. Why were we even deployed to this hell hole?" The leader of the group bitched. "Ya, we should be sent to South America, I hear they are engaging large number of Goofs..." The crew member shut up when he noticed Major Anders leaning on the pool stick looking at them at the pool table. Elisa smiled and just shook her head. “This is a no assignment bitching area. You want bitch outside or I well have you assign to Greenland bitching indoors is permitted.” Elisa smiled letting them now that it was really okay to complain in front of her. However deep down she was a little offended by the fact they did not take the Africa Theater of Operations seriously. The majority of the war had been fought her over the AEU’s orbital elevator which the HRL had captured early on. The leader of the group looked at the Major carefully for a minute before snapping his finger and pointing at her. “You are Major Elisa “Gremlin” Anders. I remember reading about you in Aviator Magazine. You are the top ace of the AEU.” The man extended his hand to shack the hand of a fighter ace many times over. Elisa extended her hand and shook the hand of Union men. “That is what happens when you have no life other then flying.” Elisa shook the other men’s hands before once again leaning up against her stick. “If you boys want to play? I well even let you go first.” Elisa said motioning to the pool table. A few of the Union boys grabbed the sticks and looked at Elisa. “Maybe I could give you a lesson or two.” One said as he lined up for a breaking. Elisa smiled. “Ya, I am not very good at this game at all.” Elisa said with a smile. She figured she would wax their asses and crush their egos. She watched as her broke and sunk one of the balls. She waited patiently for her turn, continually recalculating the way she would clean the table base off the positions of the ball. |

"HA!" a voice yelled from the other side of the room "She isn't the AEU ace..." He stood up from the chair he was sitting at and walked over to the group and smirked he had dark red hair that fell down to his shoulders and blue eyes "How can you call a person who flies an outdated fighter an Ace" he laughed "I'm the real Ace of the AEU the infamous first mobile suit pilot, the one who has never lost in 2000 mock battles in his suit, the awesome and incredibably great and the one you should all be honored to meet, Patrick Colosour..." he said pointing to himself. He then noticed they weren't paying attention to him "Hey didn't you hear what I said!" he yelled at them "I'm the Ace! Me!!! You stupid Union idiots!" he growled. |

Elisa looked over at Patrick Colosour and shook her head. "Give it a break Pattie. These men just got back from a real combat mission. Something you would not know about." Elisa said to Patrick. She then gave a devilish smile. "Anyways, I remember you always turned down fighting me in my outdated fighter." Elisa mocked Patrick as one the Union missed his shot on the three ball in the corner pocket. Elisa smiled and chalked her stick. "Three ball in the side pocket." Elisa said calling her shots. She easily sunk the ball and the cue ended up near the center of the table. Elisa continued to clean up the table. Once she was finish she looked at the group of the Union boys. "You want a rematch. Maybe put a little money on the table." Elisa said with a smile. All the Union boys shook their heads and Elisa frowned. “Well, thanks for the game anyways.” Elisa said. She figured she would go check out the Epsilon, sense she was stationed to the ship to support it and its mobile suits along to be closer to the battlefield. |

Patrick sighed heavily and lowered his head "Thats neither here nor there when I do get out there I'm gonna beat all of the HRL!" He yelled. One of the Union guys laguhed "Yeah right kid, you're such an Ace how about going agiainst one of our pilots" he said Patrick looked at him "Just name the guy and I'll crush him" he yelled the Union soldier started to walk out and motioned for Patrick to follow which he so eagerly did. |

Isabella laughed lightly at Oren. She tossled her rarely loose hair and smirked,"I hardly outrank you at all. I am sure if you are as good as I have heard, then I won't outrank you too terribly long, 2nd Lieutenant Ibrahim." She pulled her hair back as she continued to talk to him,"I kind of knew who you were already. It is part of my job. I did the tactical forecast for the mission you just returned from. Usually, I would be out there but there have been complications. They didn't reassign me when my new mobile suit got here." She nodded her head when he said her name,"If it feels too weird calling me Bella, you can just call me by my first name. I am too young for the formalities." She smiled at him as he turned to go to the machine,"Alright, I am going to go check on Love. They were fixing her up." Bella spun on her heels and danced her way quickly through the crowd to come to a stop in front of her Gundam. She placed her palm against the place were her family crest had been etched into the metal,"Love... here is to hoping you last." She whistled to get the crew chief's attention. The older man smiled down at Isabella,"Well, if it isn't the Lieutenant come to pay yet another visit to her toy." He balked at the suddenly pissed expression on her face,"I am kidding, Bella. I know better. She seems to be in perfect condition. We added on the guns like you requested. They wouldn't let me take away the combat knives. Sorry. I really did try." Bella smiled up at him and shrugged,"As long as I have the sniper rifle, I am happy. She looks great by the way. I love the paint job, and the crest is a nice addition. Thanks." |

Elisa shook her head as Patrick ran off with the Union personnel. He was about to embarrass the AEU mobile suit corp. and there was nothing she could do to stop it. She simple walked out of the rec room and towards the Epsilon. Elisa made good time to the hanger which the Epsilon was stationed. The ship was huge, a base on appound itself. Elisa walked up to the ship and headed to the loading ramp which crewmembers were walking on and off the ship. She walked up the ramp and onto the ship to do a walk around. She really wanted to get up to the flight deck up by the crane. That would be were her launch would be and she wanted to walk the deck to figure out just how much her max takeoff weight would be. Elisa started to walk through the Alps-class Land Battleship slightly loss. She had been on carriers before, but the Union ship was not marked like she thought it should. She found it hard to get to the top deck. She eventually ran into a crewmember. “Excuse me crewmember… Leech. Could you help me get to the top flight deck and hanger bay area?” Elisa asked as polity as possible. The crewmember nodded and quickly explained which sets of stairs would take up to the hanger. “Thank you crewmember.” Elisa said as she turned around and headed back to the stairs. Elisa eventual made her way to the flight deck of the massive Epsilon. Elisa looked out along it and realized this was a full fledge carrier flight deck begin over 80 meters if she went from the back. Elisa took a breath and walked over to the back of the flight deck and started to walk the length of the flight deck. She made sure she always had room for her F-7C’s wingspan. She planned to get to numbers, maximum takeoff weight with a full length launch and the length of a short launch from the hanger deck elevator. Afterward she wanted to meet Lieutenant Colonel Richards. |

Oren was getting his water and listening to Bella as she spoke "Tatical forecaster?" he asked her he didn't know they had forecasters as young as her. "Thank you but I'm not that good of a pilot, its mostly my machine" he said as he crumpled up his paper cup and threw it into the trash. He looked down for a moment then back up at her he opened his mouth to speak, "Oren..." he said to her "You can just call me Oren, you don't have to call me by rank or my last name" he said softly as he watched her walk over to her machine, she was pretty to say the least, he even checked out her butt some as she walked. Oren opened his mouth to call her to ask her something but he heard a commotion, turning to look at the doors he saw some people come in a few Union soldiers and one loud mouthed AEU soldier. "So who is this pilot you want to lose to the great Colosour!" he yelled, Oren reconigzed some of the Union soldiers as crewmates they came over to him "2nd Liuetenant!" One of them yelled, Oren turned and saluted them "Sir?" he asked. The soldier laughed "You want to practice in your Gundam...this AEU pilot seems to be their mobile suit ace and he's looking for a good match" he said laughing. Oren looked over at his Gundam then back to the soldiers. "Okay" He said as he walked to his Gundam Patrick growled "Okay okay! Aren't you scared!!!" he yelled "You should be, prepare my GM!" he yelled to the mechanics. Oren walked over to his Gundam and grabbed the rope going up to the cockpit, he climbed in and started it up "Priorty overide Oren Aslan-kalp Ibrahim" the gundam activated and started to move. Patrick climbed in his GM and started it up it moved some as he laughed "this is going to be an easy kill" he laughed to himself. |
