Catrina had been quiet most of the sorte, taking as much time as humanly possible to get herself accustom to the new suit, it was truely a work of art, it will destroy all opponents it would face. She couldn't wait! Although there seemed to be a situation now where she would get to practice her art before she was accustom entirely with her new set of paint. Not that it should matter a great deal, the controls were similar to the Zaku's after all.<br/><br/>Hearing the Acar's comments about the Gundams raised the Ire in her, did they really think they could be strutting around here like this, just because their suits gave them the edge, she should show them how mistaken they were! But the acar told them to keep back, so for now Catrina would do as she was ordered. They had Lucille Washburn? Were willing to hand her over? Thats rich, unless... She kept her silence for now, the Acar was here after all and she was not about to disobey orders, what sort of influence would that instill in the younger soldiers, if the aces thought themselves above the others.<br/><br/>After the short time passed, Catrina stepped up towards the Gundam, the one she had been fighting all this time, her own personal demon. It was gauling to think that now she had the tools to stand evenly, she couldn't fight him. But for now there was more important matters at hand. Finnaly the two suits were squared off against eachother, she waited for the gundam pilot to show himself first, and that Emma Grooms was there, so she knew exactly that it was her. Her gut instinct told her that this was indeed the right woman. With the flick of a few buttons, her own cockpit opened, for once she was staring right at the person who had been a thorn in her side in the last few battles, the man who killed many of her comrads. She wanted to pull her pistol on him, but that would be inprudent in front of Emma grooms. So for now she just stared into his eyes, as Emma changed suits, helping her inside she turned back to the pilot. "Now your suit advantage is over, I should be thanking you for rendering my Zaku unworkable, now I get to have a fair fight with you. But for now, you have held up your end of the deal, I will respect that, be sure that the two ladies will not see combat while they are in my care. But if I find you bastards did anything to them, not even a hundered gundams will save you from me." The final words were said less of a threat, and more of a promise. As her cockpit sealed away. She turned back towards Emma. "I'm sorry for the incompetence of our forces my lady, it is good to have you and lady Lucille back with us" She smiled, before taking her seat and starting to walk away in the opposite direction of the gundam.
