Side 4 Texas Base, Prison Section May 10th, UC 0087 Commander Ennis lowered his salute and signed the piece of paper the MP handed him. He'd been trying to do this for two weeks, but things had been busy. Wilson had nearly had a heart attack when he heard that Ennis had hired Zeon mercenaries (oh, if only he had), and it had taken quite a bit of effort to keep him from causing trouble. The new . . . arrangements with Anaheim and the introduction of the Marasais had probably helped in that regard. And Ennis had even managed to get the MP sergeant who'd almost allowed Alicia to get raped thrown in Texas's prisons for good. The Washington and the Jallinoja were back in action, although there were still some holes in their MS teams. Still, they'd be good for the mission everybody was currently rushing to prepare for. Almost everything was in order. The Zeke mercs had been integrated, although Garrick had nearly been beaten after snatching some of Franke's alcohol in retaliation for her general lack of help. Sharan had been acting strange . . . um, stranger. But aside from that, thing's were relatively secured. Except for one thing, which was why he was in the prison section Ennis rotated his left shoulder, out of a sling yet still too weak to pilot, as the cell door opened and he stepped inside. He smiled, a not entirely friendly smile. "Well, Sean, how're things? Feeling at home?" he asked the prisoner. |

Ennis entered the cell just after Sean woke up and started to swear. "Oh yeah, this place is very cozy. A shag rug and a fireplace in the corner and I think I'm all set for winter." he said in a sarcastic tone...although if Ennis did add those in Sean might tell Ennis anything he wanted to know simply due to the sheer hilarity of it. |

"I'd have thought you would have preferred a bear rug. Much more impressive," Ennis quipped, leaning against the wall. "Now, I have been thinking about what to do with you since you took Alicia's place which, I might add, was quite admirable of you. I suppose that I could just let you rot here in Texas, but that seems an awful waste. And somehow I doubt you're going to be a fountain of military intelligence that we can use unless I get really nasty, and I'm not going to simply to piss off certain of my associates." "Besides," Ennis continued with a shrug, "AE's so full of holes that beating secrets out of you would be somewhat redundant. So, rotting is a waste and interrogation is pointless. What does that leave us?" Ennis' tone of voice was full of obviously fake wonder. He was making it quite clear to Sean that he already had an idea. He paused for a moment, pretending to consider it. "Ah, but of course!" he exclaimed. "You could fight for us." |

Sean laughed at the notion of fighting for the Titans, presumably against the AEUG. "Now why would I do that considering the fact that you guys have been harassing and spying on me since that little Stardust fiasco. Once the Titans got set up, I was labeled as a radical by you jackoffs, and I would've stayed on the sidelines until I noticed the same car following me around as I walk my son home from school. Now considering all that, under what circumstance would I fight for you, especially since you're the kind of guys who'd strap my reactor with a bomb and have me go nova as soon as the battle begins." He took a look around the cell, amazingly there were no vents like on the Salamis. Ennis should have told him that on the truck weeks ago. |

"What if I told you that I could make the men in the truck go away for good? That you and your family could live the rest of your lives without ever being harrassed ever again?" Ennis said, his tone of voice now serious. "What if you could go back to being on the sidelines forever once this conflict is finished?" "You see, being a veteran and a Titans Commander gives me quite a bit of sway. I may not enjoy playing 'the game' as the admirals call it, but I'm good at it," Blaine continued. "And I prefer to put it to good use. So you do your time, help us restore peace the right way, and then you go free. In fact, Sean O'Regan will have never existed. You'll be able to keep up this 'Bill' disguise you've going for." "Obviously, yes, if you try to stab us in the back you'll likely be atomized. But that's the way of the game, sadly. Quite frankly, I'd have to be smoking Karl's entire stash to put you in a suit without making sure I could neutralize you, and you know it. But no backstabbing from me, either. You'll get your free pass when the job is done, I swear that on my dead." "And you should feel at home enough. I've got about six to seven Zekes on my payroll already, including Julian. Besides," he said, shrugging. "It's not like the alternatives are very good if you refuse my offer." |

Sean swayed his options. "I don't think that offer is very feasible. Not in the least. When I went into the AEUG, I took my family with me. The AEUG hid them, even from me in case I got captured. If I become a Titan, what do you think will happen to them in the hands of the people I'm fighting against? Even the 'Bill' moniker was for their protection. I have no problems with my name, but I couldn't risk you bastards finding them and using them against me. If my entire motivation is my family, why would I follow you up on that proposal? I think you've already dabbled into Karl's stash a few times." Sean paused, thinking about Julian being a Titan. "Also, don't call me a Zeke, you know well enough that I've been a Federation soldier longer than I have been one for Zeon." |

"Yeah, because you just loved wearing the tan and black so damn much," Ennis said, rolling his eyes. Dropping the sarcasm, he considered Sean's argument. "I find it ironic that the AEUG acts like they're the Second Coming, and yet you're worrying about them using your family against you. Very cute," he began, his voice grim. "Look, no bullshit now. You cooperate with me you get amnesty. Refuse, and I have to leave you here. And it'll only be a matter of time before someone notices you, and I will guaren-fucking-tee that they won't try offering a deal. They'll break every bone in your body, not because they expect you to break but because the sick fucks will enjoy it." Ennis's voice was full of contempt as some of the individuals in question came to mind. "And may God be with your family if the bastards decide to go for them. I can make them back off while I'm around, but once you're on your own all bets are off. And don't think for a moment that they won't be found." |

Who the hell is Blaine?
:lol: "Not my fault the Zeon had the snazzier outfits. Hell, I got to wear a cape." Sean sighed as Ennis trailed on. "Fine, but if the AEUG plucks a hair from their head, there'll be hell to pay." He stood up, since, you know, there was nothing stopping him. Well, shit. I managed to avoid mixing up my rpg characters for two years, though. I had a good run. XD Well, guess you gotta start the streak over again. ;) |

"Fair enough," Ennis said. "Of course, while on the ship and on bases you'll be accompanied by MPs at all times. Just to make sure you don't try and run for it. On the flip side, if they start acting like Zabis let me know and I'll deal with them. Won't I, Corporal?" Ennis grinned like a wolf at the MP in the doorway, the same man who'd seen Ennis beat the Sergeant into submission. The man nodded frantically. "Alright then. Come along, we've got a briefing to attend," Ennis said, leading the way. Briefing Room, On the Retiro "This is going to be a relatively simple mission, with the one usual snafu. Murphy wins again, it seems," Ennis began as the lights dimmed and the briefing screen showed an image of Earth orbit. "Our rat inside the AEUG, and our new best friends in Anaheim, have informed us of what the AEUG are calling 'Operation Descending Sword. It is a drop operation on an Earth-based facility, and it is going to be our job to stop it. We'll intercept the AEUG force in oribt and do everything we can to prevent them from hitting the atmoshpere. I know that everyone likes sinking ships, but this time you need to put all of your efforts into taking out the mobile suits; they're the only things that can actually reach the facility, so they take priority." "Now, the operation parameters actually say that if any AEUG forces make it into the atmosphere that we are to pursue them. The trouble is that we're not really equipped for that, hence the snafu. The ballutes we need to descend to Earth won't arrive until some time after the time we predict we'll intercept the AEUG. So if we fail to stop the drop the rebels will get to have their fun with the base for quite some time before we can stop them." "I'm not going out myself, so I'll be commanding the MS forces from the bridge, but you are all going to be closer to the action then myself and I want you to use your initiative. If you see an oppurtunity to disrupt the drop, don't wait for my orders to act. Everyone clear?" |

The red haired Zeon mercenary hanging around near the rear of the room with her posse raised her hand “Ohh! Ohh! I have a question, do we get a bonus if we stop them from dropping?” of course, she summoned up a few grumbles from the assembled pilots – but she was wearing her colours openly at the least. “I mean, come on, there’s gotta be some reward if we manage to save the arses of the comrades of your fellow Black n’ Reds from the AEUG boy’s – sorta special order innit?” she grinned wolfishly and took a swig from a flagon she’d been hiding up the sleeve of her zeke uniform, “My, my, quite the savage aren’t you?” That drew her attention away from bugging Ennis and down to the tan-skinned Titan sharing the back row at a good distance from then, Sharan smiled back, one of his more threatening smiles – it kept Franke leashed from embarrassing herself by attacking the Titan. He smiled silkily and turned his attention over onto Ennis, “Mmm, my only question, is whether or not we can get a unit of snipers attatched to us from the Texas forces – after all if we want to inflict maximum casualties, we’re going to want to be able to pop their ballutes if they hit atmo.” He had no idea why he was trying to give them an edge, after all, it was more beneficial to him to see the AEUG land on the Earthnoids territory that would throw the entire place into conflict…and that ensured some significantly weakened defences…just as soon as one of the Zeon remnant groups rose up to take back the Earth Sphere and the Surrounding Colonies. |

"Oh great, I now get my own personal body guards. Well, lead on, briefings have always proved entertaining." Sean followed Ennis, and was followed by two armed guards. Resisting the urge to start singing the "convoy" song. When they entered the briefing room, Sean couldn't help but notice the Zekes from the bar sitting in their own little huddle, and a another guy in a Titan's uniform. Taking a seat way the fuck away from all of them, Sean listened to the briefing. 'So there was a spy on the ship. I knew we shouldn't have stopped looking for him' he thought as Ennis yammered on. "Yeah, I got a question. Do you usually recruit your pilots from the slums of Von Braun, or is this just a one time thing?" |

Franke raised an eyebrow, and glanced at the source of the voice "Ohh, so you did decide to betray your friends," she smilled an tugged her Zeke uniform, "We're employees lad, not recruits." |

Madame one arm started to speak about betraying friends. "My friends are in gigantic robots of death, they can protect themselves. The only reason I'm here is to find and protect others who don't have the luxury of driving around 60 tons of death and destruction. And an employee and recruit are the same in this situation. You're getting paid to pilot a Mobile Suit, just like the guy over there." Sean used his thumb to motion Sharon. |

Franke grinned, "I bef to differ..." she grinned, "I have absolutley no moral reason or loyalty beyond payment - a recruit has a reason for signing up, and a loyalty to his organisation - people like me are just the monsters who bolster their numbers for a bit of extra cash," She grinned and leant back in her seat, "Also, I don't have to play by their rules - which has its benefits to Mr Ennis...I'm sure." |

Ennis let the bickering go on for a bit before holding up his hand for attention. "Okay, one: no bonus for simply doing the job you're already getting paid for. Bring me Blex Forer's head and we'll talk about extra cash," he started, looking at Franke. "Two, Texas doesn't have any snipers of their own. We already have all the base's snipers with the Hizack Customs, which is what we'll use if we have to," he said, nodding to Sharan. The fellow had been acting aloof as of late, even more so than usual. Probably smug about Ambrose. "And three, you take what you can get. Especially when you get them working directly for you. That's why you're here working off your troubles instead of getting put up against a wall, for instance," he said to Sean. "Now, is there anything else?" |
