Akihiko smiled and was about to reminisce with his old comrade when the sensors on his<em>No-dachi</em>also picked up something... and it was indeed moving fast. Sure enough, after zooming in, the insignia of the Federated Commonwealth appeared on the side and he felt curious.<em>I wonder what the FedCom are doing in this place? I thought that Civil War ended three years ago... and why appear in the Combine of all places? Don't they know that they are risking another war after just achieving peace?</em><br/><br/>As he powered up his 'Mech and activated his weapon systems, he opened a channel to his Captain. "<em>Sui-feng-taichou... I think you should contact Tsubaki-san and ask her what she knows of this. A FedCom dropship dropping in on a training mission by rookies from the DCMS doesn't seem right to me unless its a live-firing training exercise. But before we know what's really going on, I would prefer us not to engage with the enemy too deeply, just in case this is some sort of trap to provoke the Combine to go to war with the FedComs or something."</em>
