Ennis didn't miss a step and took Jurik, kindly asking him to avoid antagonizing the employees as he hustled him out of the hangar, sparing an admonishing look for Franke to let her know he didn't appreciate her snapping at the Lt. Commanders' bait.

And the tour went . . . pretty much as planned. If for no other reason than Ennis steamrolled any attempts for people to get in any more arguments today.

A Day or So Later . . .

The Garuda was in sight of the Rocky Mountains now. Ennis hadn't seen them since . . . hell, since he'd been in a Medea, heading towards Belfast after fleeing Hotel California. Normally he'd would have at least appreciated seeing the mountain range, but instead he was pacing on the ship's bridge, trying to guess the Azura's next move.

"We should have caught up with them by now," he muttered. "The last sighting still had them heading east, and we would have heard from spotters to the south or north already if they'd changed their course. So where the hell are they? A Garuda isn't exactly an easy thing to hide."

“Perhaps, commander, we’ve overshot them,” Jurik suggested. He stood at ease near Ennis, looking out at the mountain range, admiring its natural beauty.

“I hope our compliment of spacenoids can see this. Perhaps then they’ll understand better that for which we fight.”

Dressed down and partially in uniform, Erol began rolling his shoulders as he stepped out into the corridor. Behind him, the door to his room hushed shut and left him doing a few quick stretches.

"Trippy," referring to the Garuda, "I don't think I'll ever get use to something like this." The pilot began moving his legs up and down in place.

"It's like an atmospheric spaceship," he began to jog down the corridor of the crew living quarters.

"Well, I'm sure Sean appreciates it at least. He lived on Earth after the War, or so I believe," Ennis said, pausing to glance out at the mountains again. "You can say that much for the colonists, that aside from the crazy ones most of them can at least admire the planet's beauty, even if they don't like the air. 'Course, it's the crazy ones who drop the colonies, and that tends to garner all the attention, I suppose."

Ennis stared another moment before shaking himself.

"If we have overshot them, then that means they've gone to ground. That likely means a base. And that is not a happy thought. I don't like the idea of the planet being dotted with Garuda-sized bases. It'll be a nightmare."

"Get on the horn to North American Command," he ordered the com officer. "Have them transmit every last scrap of information they have on enemy activity in the western half of the continent."

"We can start patrolling back and forth to at least get started," he began to say to Jurik, "but we might also be able to piece something together to put us in the right direction."

Both Summer and Kathy shared a room aboard the Garuda. They had both slept in late, and it was well deserved after yesterday's long trip. The two got ready and then headed out, they weren't needed on duty for another hour, so they decided to go to the mess hall. They got lunch and talked about this ship, and its' crew.

"So what do you think about Commander Ennis?" "He's incompetent, and that's being nice. Sure we have Side 3 under our control, but their people shouldn't be treated as our equals. They are all ex-zekes, and should be treated as such, losers." "Yeah, it's even worse that they have a prisoner flying here. I can understand being undermanned, but that's no reason to just let a prisoner fly a mobile suit. Yeah they have a bomb on him, but if he wanted to he could easily take out this ship before Ennis could press the button." "I completely agree." Said Kathy as she smugly enjoyed her bowl of soup.

“Hopefully. Of course, they may just be out of comm.-scan’s reach. Would you like me to take a mobile suit team out to recon ahead of the Garuda, commander?” Jurik asked, his head turning slightly to face Ennis.

"Can't hurt. Round up Berta and get them in the air. Besides, even if you can't find the AEUG it'll give you time in the air with your team, which will help get this squadron working at 100% again," Ennis said, nodding. He began to turn back to the viewports when a thought crossed his mind.

"And if Lt. Gabriel is with Ensign Hearst when you find her, please send Gabriel to the bridge. If they're not just out of range and have a base somewhere, best to get started on planning the tactical fight. Smooth flying, Lt. Commander."

“Very good, sir” Jurik said as he saluted Ennis before venturing out into the Garuda. He found Ensign Hearst and lieutenant Gabriel in the mess hall.

“Ensign,” he addressed Summer.

“Berta team shall be taking our suits out to scout ahead. If, on your way, you run into Ensign Teia and lieutenants Anderson and Weizegger tell them to get prepped. Lieutenant Gabriel, Commander Ennis would like you on the bridge to advise him. My apologies for interrupting your lunch, ladies, but duty calls.” Jurik turned and headed towards the hangar, hoping to find the rest of his squad along the way. It would have been easier to have a message sent out over the P.A. but Ennis seemed not to want to use such disrupting methods.

Summer immediately rose to her feet and saluted. "Yes sir. And if I do see any of them I'll be sure to tell them." She turned to look at Kathy. I'll talk to ya later Kathy, we can finish our conversation later right." Kathy nodded and stood up herself. Summer left the room to head to the changing room, and them the hangar.

Kathy rose to her feet soon after Summer left. Kathy picked up a napkin and cleaned her hands. She then headed for the bridge as she was asked to. "Well, apparently the man views me as important enough to be on the bridge with him, how honored I feel.", she mussed to herself as she headed towards the bridge.

Franke's return was to poke her tongue out teasingly at Ennis and waltze off

Day or so later...

Franke sighed and ran her hands through her long untidy hair, chewing on her bottom lip idley as she paced around the Garuda's corridors, hunting for something to do, or someone to annoy, with a sigh she waltzed onto the main bridge as bold as brass, flashing the Commander a winning smile,

"Ennis, can't you bring my lads down from space or something, I'm bored, there's nothing to do, nothing to drink, and noone to boss around - this makes for a very very bored mercenary - that and theres nothing to destroy either - and while I consider myself quite the poet, a lack of fighting tends to make me wreckless." she grinned at a momentary thought,

"Unless someone has a deck of cards and pocket change."

Ennis was bent over an electronic display of the surrounding area, frowning as the data came in from Command, updating the map as it went along and displaying suspected supply routes and sightings.

"My cards are back in my quarters, sadly. Your team's Zakus do a great job at guard duty on Texas, but they'd all be dead meat down here. Don't have the Hizacks to lend them, either," Ennis said without looking up, his voice sounding distracted. "And while the mere thought of you acting any more reckless is already causing a migraine, I think we might be able to take care of that boredom issue. We may not be looking for a ship anymore. We may be looking for a base. That should give you plenty to shoot at."

Ennis paused and looked up at the bridge door as it hissed open, expecting Lt. Gabriel.

Kathy walked in still displeased that her lunch had been cut short, but if it was for work then it couldn't be helped. "You wished to see me Commander?" She said boldly as she entered the room. She walked closer towards the man as she attempted to see what he was looking at.

"Correct, Lieutenant," Ennis answered, looking back down at the map display. "Trying to stay ahead of the game, and that means tactical work. We should have caught up to the Azura by now, so it's possible that they've gone to ground."

The Commander frowned as another bit of data appeared on the map: possible Dodai Kai sighting fifty miles to the South a month ago, seen heading North before being lost in a storm.

"And it's looking more and more possible. Seems like Karaba hasn't had any trouble moving around. Not enough troops to watch our own planet," he said grimly, gesturing to the display, with almost 25 incidents in the past 6 months. Only three of the incidents had led to the destruction of the spotted force. The rest had either been sighted by civilians and then vanished, or evaded pursuit.

Ennis typed in a command, and a small part of the display was covered with the estimated mobile suit forces of the Azura, recently edited to display the losses the AEUG had taken at Alcatraz.

"And if there is a base, there's likely to be more of them. Probably GM IIs, maybe some of those Nemos, but they would definitely have a dedicated guard force," he said before looking up at Kathy again. "Your thoughts, Lieutenant?"

Sean

After whatever time lapse, Sean was in the middle of the hangar infront of his HiZack, holding a paint gun. He looked at his hands and clothes, noticing they were covered in paint. It happened again....time skipped forwards, and he had no recollection of it. "Son of a bitch!" he exclaimed. The guards assumed that he was angered about his clothes being covered in paint. One of the technicians who was aiding in the paint job lowered himself from the lift. He explained to Sean that the custom paint job, along with the slightly demoralizing insignia was completed. Sean looked up at his HiZack, his by the definition that it was 'modified' for his personal use, and saw that it was a beautiful blue on black color scheme, much like his Zaku, Gyan, and Gelgoog Marine Commander units were. The insignia, although slightly against Ennis' wishes of nothing political, was the same image he used after the war during his time with the Federation. The symbol was nothing more than the Federation anchor superimposed on the Principality's own. To Sean, it showed gratitude to Zeon for at least training him in the art of mobile suit combat, but also showed his allegiance was to the Federation, which is why the EFSF anchor was the more prominent of the two.

"What do you think?" Sean exclaimed to no one in particular. If someone answered, then he'd be ok with it. If not, that'd be fine too. At least now everyone would know not to start up the unit unless they were prepared to wait until Ennis got around to disarming the bomb.

“It’s… well the rebels will know who to shoot at.” Jurik answered. He was walking by in his normal suit, towards his Marasai. He had given up just looking around for the members of berta and requested an announcement be sent out to alert them to their team’s deployment.
