The quiet of the night (as quiet as a ship of of the Garuda's size could manage, anyways), was just beginning to be dispersed as the ship started to awaken. The mess hall began working on breakfast, the early birds among the mechanics were starting to tinker on the unit's suits, the guards for sensitive sections of the ship were changed, and the night bridge crew was starting to look forward to their own rest period.

A lieutenant on the watch yawned before rubbing his eyes, cursing his shift and wondering if he could finagle his way onto a better one. No sooner had he finished rubbing his eyes than he saw the first streaks of sunlight appear ahead of the ship as the sun rose.

"Finally," the officer thought, grinning. But the grin faded as he saw a shape between himself and the sun, off in the distance. He grabbed a pair of binoculars and raised them, squinting to see through the glare of the dawn, and dropped a mild curse. He quickly turned and slammed his hand down onto the alert button.

Alarms shrieked through-out the ship, startling the awake and tearing the sleeping from their rest. Ennis, actions honed by years of practice, was already out of his bed and dashing out of his room before he even realized why. He ran down the hallway towards the hangar, letting his door close itself, as the lieutenant's voice came over the ship wide intercom.

"Enemy craft spotted! Dead ahead, distance at forty klicks! Garuda-class!

"Finally caught up to the bastards," Ennis muttered to himself as he burst into the locker room and began suiting up. "Now we just have to take advantage of it."

Orrick jumped out of his bunk, and quickly threw on his shoes and mask and bolted out of his door as quick as possible. As he was running towards the changing room several thoughts crossed his mind. "No rest for the weary I suppose... I didn't get my normal nine hours of sleep, the AEUG will be certain to answer for this." Nash found that he was the second person to arrive in the changing room.

He opened his locker and started to throw on his normal suit. He mumbled, "Today's the day." Nash finished zipping up his normal suit. "Ennis, may you fight at your best today." Nash put his helmet on over his head and fastened the helmet to seal up his suit... Nash ran out to his Gaplant and climbed up to jump down into his cockpit. He flicked several switches as the cockpit started to come alive. "Running systems check... Navigation systems, online. Flight systems, online. Weapons, online. Life support, online. Combat support, online. Switching systems from automatic to manual.... I have control."

Nash opened a comm line to the bridge, "This is Kryger awaiting launch clearance."

Julian woke up refresh with a total of thirteen hours of sleep even if he was going for fifteen but the announcement disturbed that. "Ahhhhhh man that was refreshing, time to piss off the crazies and collect another pay check" said Julian smirking grabbing his cigarettes and his holy tome before walking out of his room humming a annoying tune.

He put his normal suit on and entered his cockpit smoking his third cigarette. The doors to his cockpit closed "Hey Ennis switch me to your battle group seriously I hate these guys, and it seems like Sharan mellowed out so please buddy save me from these guys they give me the willies" said Julian joking around like always before a operation.

"Control control do you copy?" asked Julian. "Copy" was the only response. "Awww are my bridge bunnies angry cause I didn't bother you yesterday?" asked Julian chuckling. "Actually we had a party that ended up in a lesbian sex orgy since you weren't around, now please give status" was the controller.

"Aww I missed that.. always next time, everything checks out green Sanchez waiting for launch" was all Julian said. "You do know those who go first are almost always first to die Lieutenant Commander Kryger?" said Julian in a bored tone as he took a puff.

------------------
Alexander awoke and quickly ran towards the changing room. Before putting on his normal suit he pulled out a small cross from his locker and gave a prayer in a secluded part of the changing room. "Ohh holy father let today be bountiful, and let the blood of our foes paint the skies.. amen" prayed Alexander cutting his hand and dropping blood on the cross. He then wrapped the cross back up in the cloth and suited up.

Alexander took a drug before entering his mobile suit cockpit and quickly and efficiently did his checks quietly, only to snarl at Julian words. "Anderson all systems green ready for launch, awaiting clearance" said Alexander softly. 'I want to kill, hurry god please hurry let me go out and kill something already, I beg of you Lord hurry and let this bitch let me launch to kill those infidels' thought Alexander smiling and impatiently moving his right leg.

Sharan chuckled idley to himself, whistling as he wandered into the hanger and clambered into his waiting Asshimar, "My, my, they couldn't wait to be caught until mid-day or something, how very droll." he shut his hatch and stomped over to the hatch swivvling his head to look at Kryger,

"Feeling less grumpy today my dear Masquerade Officer?" The 'Titan' chuckled and settled back into his seat, pulling on his helmet,

"This is Musharif, all systems green, ready for launch."

Franke yawned and perched on her suit glancing at the rushing Titans bellow her, when Ennis did finally arrive she threw him a cursorary wave, "You want me to sortie Titan-Boy even if I'm just going to be sitting back here with the beam launcher?"

Ennis left the locker room at a run, sealing his helmet as he went and turning on the suit's radio.

"Everybody hold off on launching until I give the order," he said as he made his way into the Gaplant's cockpit. "We'll hit them as a squadron, instead of in dribs and drabs. Franke, if you can find a spare base jabber you're welcome to come with us. Otherwise, get your weapons up all the same and be prepared to help defend the ship from the inside if you have to."

Settling into the pilot's seat Ennis closed the hatch and began strapping himself in, all the while considering what the plan for the battle would be. It was relatively straight-forward in goal: chase after the enemy and shoot them. But some finesse could make that easier. A plan began to form as Ennis waited for the others to begin arriving in the hangar.

Peripe had been looking at his ceiling in the darkness of his room when the alarm had gone off. He didn't sleep much anymore...not since his family had died. He had started having nightmares of the colony drop, and after his service in the One Year War they had changed to include the choking jungle, the cries of animals and sounds of GM's exploding.

He wordlessly dressed himself as the alarm sounded, hurrying to the hanger. He noted that the base jabber was still attatched to his Barzam while he climbed into the cockpit, watching the systems he had prepared the other day flash to life in front of him. On a regular day he would have made some insulting comment to the Zeke in Titan uniform, or worse, the Zeke wearing a damn Zeke uniform. Instead, he was eerily silent and calm.

John awoke with a start when the alarm went off, his head hitting the bunk above him as he shouted out, "Ringo turn off that alarm!" Then he shook his head, realizing he wasn't back with the Beatles as he had been in a past life and gave a sigh, that had been such a simpler life until some crazy shot him dead on the street of New York city. His bunk mate gave him a strange look, before running out of the door. John quickly suited up and walked out of the room at a brisk pace. He entered the locker room, and began putting on his flight suit and then placed the helmet down on his head thanking Zeus this was an early morning run and he had yet to pick out his afro so there was no damage being done to the hard work that was his hair.

Running out the hangar, he saw the Hizack that he was to be piloting. Yeah it was an old model and all, but John liked the model. He entered the cockpit and then sealed the door, sitting down in the chair. Checking to see all systems were good, he said, "Ensign Johnathan Black reporting in, ready to launch when you are Lt. Commander Kryger."

So intent on the excitement of being able to launch and begin a fight he'd been able to ignore the presence of the ex-Zeon pilots running around.

"Alright people, listen up! We launch in two minutes," Ennis began, opening a channel to every suit and to Control as well. "Bridge, I want two volleys of missiles going in ahead of us. If they see them coming then they'll blast them out of the sky, but we might get lucky. And it'll cost them time and ammo to take out the missiles. Launch the first volley when we begin exiting the hangar. Copy that?"

"Copy that, Commander. We'll give them a nice hot missile breakfast, made to order."

"Alright. Kryger, Musharif, Weizegger, you're with me. We can fly under our own power, so we'll stay with the squadron until engagement range and then race out ahead to hit any Rick Dias models they have. Try to take out their base jabbers, but the main point is to keep them away from our own suits. The rest of Anton and Berta, follow us right in and hit their Nemos as quickly as possible. Caesar, you're the reserve. You see any gaps that we make, you punch right through them and go for the Azusa. Once things get mixed up, everyone revert back to your individual team leaders for orders. Any questions?"

"Ahhh yes I have a question, whats on the menu for brunch? and will we make it in before lunch hehehe" said Julian jokingly. 'This ought to piss off a few people, and give me a few laugh's, god I love my job, piss off Feddies get paid to do nothing hard whats not to love' thought Julian smiling in his cockpit.

Alexander stood quiet just waiting to launch. 'Damn that I want to kill them I want to kill them all, just let me kill them already' whispered Alexander to himself.

Nash sighed to himself, "Now I have to take part in a tactical formation, give me a break. "I doubt anyone here has any questions, you made it simple enough. We're all ready to launch just give the word." Nash sat back in his seat and crossed his arms waiting for both Ennis to give the word and the missile barrage to begin to signal it was time for his destiny to arrive.

Franke chuckled as her Dom stomped forwards to join the waiting Titans the Zeon pilot flicking on her comms, "So I get to be my whole team all by myself? I'm honored Titans-Boy." she grinned wolfishly as she closed her cockpit and stamped onto the back of a basejabber hefting the massive beam bazooka onto her units shoulder,

"Hey, if I'm a Lieutenant, do I get to order around these mooks you've got hanging back to defend your unit?" she cackled cruely, this wasn't about them beeing feddies of course, this was simple malicious responce to all the angry whispers that had been running the rounds and there was just some need to twist a few knives into a few ribcages."

Chuckling to herself she adjusted her hand on the controls, resting the stump of her left arm into the harness on the other side of the controls, shifting it around in the uncomfortable restraint, she really needed to milk the Titans for a millitary-grade cybernetic, even with her accustomed nature, the control system in her unit remained annoying, "This is Franke, all systems green, beam launcher at full charge, I'm good to play games when you are James."

++

Sharan shuddered visibly, couldn't she be even the slightest bit more subtle? It had its advantages, with so many obvious Zeonic pilots he was kept cleanly out of scruitiney - which worked hand in hand with his identity as the long reach of High Command within the Retiro Autonomous Taskforce, but even as a loyal Zeon it got on his nerves that they would be so presumptous as to go around wearing their old alliegances on their sleeves.

The 'Titan' scowled and rested into his seat, he had no intent on taking these fools with him when he did inevitably return to Zeon, they were mercenaries both of them, the kind of scum that Zeon would be better off without when it returned to power - no, they would be left with the Titans to be consumed eventually, or they would prove decent sacrificial pawns if the time was ever right to use them, until then they'd be as unaware of his loyalties as Bask or Jamitov, until the time was ripe he'd play the part of the loyal pet,

"Understood Commander, on your word."

"Depends, Julian. Do a good job and you'll get bacon and eggs. Screw up and we'll give you plain grits," Ennis fired back.

"And just remember to play nice, Franke," Ennis said with a smirk. "With our side, anyways."

Ennis kept an eye on a timer as it counted down from the two minute mark, and triple-checked his sytems. This would be the true test of his control of the Gaplant, and despite the danger he was excited. Then, the timer read 00:00:00 and began to flash in red. Time to get things started.

"Bridge, launch the first volley! Everyone, launch now!" Ennis ordered, waiting half a second as he was green lit for launch. Even in that half a second he felt the ship shudder as missiles were launched.

"Commander Ennis, Gaplant, launching!" Ennis was pressed back into his seat as the Gaplant was hurled out of the rear hatch, quickly using the inertia to turn the suit around and put it on a heading to catch up to the Azusa. Even as he passed over the Garuda, its black hull gleaming in the light of dawn, he saw the missile trails streak across the distance towards their target.

Jim had gotten a restless sleep where his nightmare had visited him three times the night before, and had woken far too early, but that had given him opportunity to finally finish his paperwork. He was simply screwing around his computer when a series of alarms sounded, including the emergency scramble. Fuck it, Tripitz can court-martial me later he fumed as he slipped into his flightsuit and sprinted do the hangar deck. Climbing into his Dias, he paused at the cockpit as he saw a new addition over his name, rank, and callsign: eight Zeon victory flags. He saw Ambrose's Hazel launching on a Dodai, and smiled as he saw the Hurricanes' logo on Ambrose's Hazel and his own suit. He must've been up half the night with that... God bless'em he mused as he stepped onto a Dias and launched, heading straight for the sound of the guns.

_______________________________

Ambrose had gotten a few hours in the rack before he'd returned to the flight deck to check the repairs on the Group. Seeing everything intact, he'd noticed none of the birds had any distinctive markings on them. Time to fix that as he grabbed stencils and paint. He set to work getting the Hurricanes' distinctive blue and gray swirl onto the shoulders of both his Hazel and Jim's Rick Dias. He then set into getting the victory flags, one for each of Jim's Zeonic kills, painted on Jim's suit. He'd just finished when the alarms sounded. Already on the flight deck and suited up, he wasted no time powering up and launching, getting away before any other AEUGers and reaching the incoming missiles quickly. He set to work and fired a burst from his Vulcans at the incoming missiles.

_______________________________

Upon detecting the incoming, the Captain ordered General Quarters and Emergency Scramble sounded, then a hard starboard, bringing his starboard batteries to bear on the incoming missiles. Ordering a suppression barrage, the Azusa's guns barked as lasers sped towards the incoming missiles.

Hearing the alarm sirens woke Eddy up quicker than zero-degree water being splashed onto his face. Quickly stripping down to his boxers, he changed into a flightsuit found in the closet. Sprinting out of his quarters, he locked the helmet into place as he began running marathon-style down to the hangar. As he reached the hangar deck, Eddy watched as Jim and Ambrose took off in their Rick Dias'. Looking to the mechanics, he shouted to them, "Did you get my Nemo resupplied?"

"Yep! All refuelled and resupplied! We're getting ready to get her locked into the Dodai Kai right now!" Running towards the Nemo, Eddy opened the cockpit via remote and jumped in, sitting down and quickly powering the machine up. After two minutes, the Nemo was attached to the Dodai Kai and he launched out into the battlefield. His acute hearing, combined with the sensors detected the missiles and began unloading a spray of vulcan fire.

Dracid sat quietly in his room, deep in throught. He got a little nap in after he left the mess hall, but it still bugged him that some of the people in the AEUG didn't let their past go and just work together. He shook his head. "Such fools, letting the past stay with the present... I mean, re..." He began to state to no one in particular when the alarm when off.

The alarm made him jump and fall out of his chair. He cursed quietly, then got up. He went to his closet and got out a flight suit. He didn't enjoy the prospect of getting back in that suit, his face showing his personal distaste, but it was there for help, so he suited up. He left his room in a brisk walk to the hangar.

When he arrived at the hangar, he saw a Nemo launching out. He didn't know who it was, but he also didn't know who's suit belonged to who, so he headed to his Nemo. He asked politely for his suit to be locked into a Dodai. He patiently waited, all the time reminding himself not to cower and hold back like he did before.

He thoughts where cut short when a mechanic told him his suit was ready. He gave his thanks and went out to the suit. He entered it and closed the hatch. He proceded to start up the suit. When everything was go, he made sure his rifle was secure, then launched.

He eased it so it felt stable, then saw the other suits currently deployed firing their vulcans at the incoming missles. He felt he was too far out of range, so he continued to steadily fly, not firing anything at the missles. His comms were open for any incoming messages to him.
