(I'm following a map for this one and this was the best route I could figure with where we are.) August 15th, UC 0087 After having taken command of the Little Platter, Karl consulted the ships map database and turned the ship North briefly, following a nearby riverbed to Gypsum, so as to utilize the local Interstate system (reference: I placed the base east of Carbondale and north of Aspen) and had the ship plow its way along I 70, heading East. A little over four and a half hours later the ship passed near by Denver, he had the ship take a round about route around the city and then followed along side I 76, using the relatively flat terrain of the American Midwest to maintain their top speed. At this point he finished up the last letter that he need to write, this one for Michiko's family, it had taken longer since he'd known her longer. (K, AEUG post here.) |

Banska sat in the Small Platter's decrepit officer’s lounge, eating stale corn chips while reading a magazine from eight months ago. Neither the deaths of his comrades or his new duty as a commanding officer phased him. In fact, it was almost as if he hadn’t noticed that anything had changed at all. Many would find this behavior strange, even disturbing, but not very many people understood Banska. He looked at the big picture. He knew what was happening, out there… |

Jim sat in his stateroom, pencil in hand. Even though Karl had said he'd handle the notification of families, Ibram had been one of Jim's pilots. Jim felt he had a far better read on the deceased pilot than Karl did, since Jim had personally overseen the kid's training... and failed Jim mused, pounding a fist into his desk. If I'd done my job better, Ibram would still be alive Jim fumed at himself as he struggled to come up with the words for Ibram's family. ______________________________ Ambrose was in his stateroom too. He'd tried, but in the end the Hazel was a total loss. He'd done what he could to repair the rest of the Group, but now he sat, a warrior without a weapon. He felt less than useless to the group right now. Fortunately, he had another... off-book assignment to work on. He had the CAD/CAM files for the comprehensive upgrade to the Gundam Mk II data he'd acquired up as a 'cover' in the unlikely event he got caught. He was working on his real assignment from Jim, reviewing the security footage from Andromeda. What the hell is in here that's so damn important? he wondered as he saw the initial launches of obsolete fighter aircraft from the base towards the landing assault force. |

Samantha walked down the hall of yet another new ship, aimlessly to boot. "I couldn't really do anything to help anyone out there. Heck even before that, I wasn't much of a help. Then this whole memory thing to boot, I just don't..." Se reached for her locket, and completely to her dismay, she found out it wasn't there. "NO! I couldn't have left it back on the Azuza! DAMN IT, that was the only clue I had." She angrily slammed her right hand against the wall. She continued down the hall, just slightly more upset than before. When she came to a stop she thought briefly trying to remember all the new layouts. "Well here goes nothing. At least I think it's the right room." She knocked three times on Jim's door. |

The knocking on his door broke through the funk Jim had landed himself in. He stood, and rubbed his eyes, trying to clear them before he reached the door. He sighed, pounding a fist into the wall before he opened the door. He was surprised to see Chelsea standing there. "Oh... hey Chelsea. What can I do for you?" he asked. |

"Jim.... Please don't take this the wrong way, but that's not really my name and I don't want to be called something I'm not." She held her right elbow with her left hand. "Um, do you think we can talk a bit more in private. I'm not entirely comfortable discussing this out in the open where any passerby could hear this, alright? Especially since it can be taken the wrong way." |

Jim cocked an eyebrow at Chelsea's comments. What the hell... was I right with that entire 'sister' bit? Jim wondered, thoroughly confused. The thought of what the others might think of the two of them behind closed doors made him uncomfortable, but he saw something sincere in her eyes. "Sure thing" he said, allowing her in. Jim then dogged the hatch, making sure they were private. "Mind telling me what exactly you meant by that last comment?" Jim said, curiosity getting the better of him. |

"Thanks Jim. To answer your question, I think I finally have enough of the whole picture to give as close to a correct answer as I can give." She carefully chose her next words, she stared right into his eyes. "My name is Samantha Alexander. Orrick Alexander is, or was my brother I don't know what happened to him over the past years, but he's always been too attached to the people he's around and cares for. I don't have a doubt that he somewhere had a problem when he thought our entire family was killed. If there was someone from the federation unit he served with during the One Year War, then we could find that much out at least." She shrugged and smiled for the first time since the raid on Alcatraz. "On a lighter note, at least we know that we're both from Earth. I no longer know how I would go about telling an ex-zeke and his friends about this so I thought I should talk to an ex-feddie. I would have asked my brother, but you guys kinda left him back there. Not to mention Karl wouldn't let me see him what so ever." |

Sorry that I kinda threw this on you so suddenly. I just felt that I needed to tell this to someone. I completely understand why you're telling me to keep this quite from Karl. However, I don't know if I can do that to him. I'd be living a lie and that why I had to tell you in the first place. Thanks for the advice Jim, but I think I owe it to him to at least give him the truth." She walked towards the door. "Again, sorry I dumped this on you Jim. Bye." Chelsea started on her way to find Karl and fill him in on the news that she had discovered about herself. It was true, this was something that she owed the man, if for no other reason than he's the boss here. She walked down the halls and eventually arrived at the bridge where Karl was no doubt at. She took several deep breathes and then entered the room. Edited by Orrick Alexander, Sep 24 2009, 08:41 PM.

Karl sat in the 'Kirk' chair, putting the last touches on his last letter, looking up when he heard the pneumatic door footsteps behind him and as he turned he found Chelsea striding into the room, "Afternoon Ens. what brings you to the bridge?" |

"Sorry for interrupting you Commander. Something has recently come to my attention that I felt I needed to tell you." She looked around and saw that there were more people on the bridge of this ship than she had originally anticipated. "There wouldn't be any chance we can talk about this out in the hall where there aren't so many people would there?" |

Karl nodded, "There's a briefing room just down the hall, it should be empty," Karl looked over at the highest ranking officer below him that was manning the bridge, "Lt, you have the conn, I have some AEUG business to take care of, it won't take more than a few minutes." The Lt. nodded and strode over to Karl's chair, Karl got up and motioned for Chelsea to lead the way. Striding along after her, Karl following Chelsea into the nearby briefing room, "Alright Ens., what is so important as to call me away from my duties, if only briefly." |

She leaned against the table as she prepared to die on the spot. "I don't know any other way than to say ti bluntly and to get it over and done with. I'm not Chelsea Vera, or rather that's not my name by birth. As a result of the Zeon's Operation British, my mind decided to shut out my past. It wasn't until just recently that I've been able to start recalling things. I've finally got enough of it back to say that I'm not Chelsea Vera, of that much I'm one hundred percent certain." Still slightly surprised to be breathing she decided to finish with nothing but the absolute truth that she knew. "I'm also fairly certain that I am Orrick Alexander's younger sister, Samantha Alexander. I can't say this entirely for sure, I'd need to sit down and talk with him, but that's impossible now. The little that I've remembered about him, he was always kind. So the way he was acting, it was strange. If I could maybe talk to one of the ex-federals who might have served with him during the One Year War, I might be able to find something out. I digress, that's what I felt I had to tell you Commander. I am in fact, an Earthnoid by birth, I am Samantha Alexander, not Chelsea Vera." |

Karl stood for a moment, leaned up against the wall next to the door, digesting the information he'd been given and after a few moments spoke in a steady, gentle tone, "Well, while I'm surprised to hear you admit this to me considering what most of the team thinks of my supposed temper, I'm not surprised that what Mr. Alexander said was true, given the sincerity in the words he spoke and your subsequent collapse later on." Pausing for a moment Karl considered his next words carefully, "Now don't be thinking I'm going to lock you up, there's no reason for me to do that, you've proven yourself to be a trusted member of my team, even going so far as to agree to that little foray in San Fransisco. As long as you can promise me that you can continue to be trusted, I see no problems with you staying with us. I'll even send a request up through intelligence for any information about you that they can find if you like, though I need you to understand that where the Brass are concerned this has to remain a closely guarded secret, they won't be as understanding as I am." Karl smiled warmly trying to reassure the young woman that he had no intention of harming her for simply being who she was. "As for speaking with pilots who served with your brother, if I recall correctly Eddy and David were both in the same unit as him, they would probably know a great deal, or at least enough to set you on the right track to getting yourself back." |
