William slowly nodded at Isabel's one word answer. Today was not a day to be pushing things. "Why don't we all get something to eat. I'll buy." He stated to everyone before turning to table and picking up the heavy revolver and holstering it in a thigh holster. "I hear the Cantina has great Meatball subs." He said with a smile.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>at the Zeon base, Acar sat in his office and was looking over his paperwork when he noticed a transfer to personnel from L3. "Well Fuck! A little late for that. we could have used them this morning." Acar growled as he looked over the manifest. "Zaku Tanks? Hmmm, interesting." He grinned with satisfaction.<br/><br/>Acar looked up when there came a knock on his door. "Enter!" He barked. His aide entered holding a couple sheets of paper. "We are ready sir." He said. "Good, Lets us stir the fires of righteous hatred then." Acar chuckled as he stood up followed the aid out.<br/><br/>----------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Back in the Catina, the 432nd all sat round a large table. the waitress having taken their order. William was sitting with his back towards the wall, and leaning back in his chair. Balancing precariously on the back two legs. Just in front of him, a Tall frosty beer. After today, William really needed one. In one corner, a large Flat screen TV was playing the News channel. The Anchor constantly blabbing away on State Allowed news. To which most if not all people were ignoring. "Damn, I am hungry. Were is my Sub?" William groaned a bit. Only to perk up when a strange noise came over the TV. It was a staticy-squeltching noise. He took the proper seating position and stared at the TV.<br/><br/>Once the signal cleared. There stood Colonel Muhammad Acar. he was decked out in full Zeon Uniform. With so many medals, and "Fruit Salad" on one side of his chest that William wondered why he didn't fall over. His eyes narrowed. "Greetings to all of humanity. I am Colonel Muhammad Acar of the Glorious Principality of Zeon. I am come before to you to show you the truth of the evil for which we face! That Evil, is the Earth Federation. Today, not Six hours ago. Our Base in Africa came under heavy assault. During which a Fleeing Hospital ship was deliberately shot down from the Sky..." He crowed. The Screen shifting to an observational camera's POV of the shot. The difference was that the "Hospital" Ship was actually marked in the Camera footage when during the battle it was not marked at all. William grimaced as in his own minds eye he relived that shot. On Screen it showed the bright pink beam of the Sniper Rifle searing through the Ship before it burst into flames and comes crashing down. William seemed to begin to shutter. Acar appeared again. "As Heinous this act is, and the fact that it consider a Crime against humanity in international courts. We do not believe that was the end goal of the Federation. No, This was all an assassination attempt!" Acar declared.<br/><br/>Acar gave the moment for Dramatic pause. His dark eyes scanning the room. "This was an attempt to Kill Lord Degwin Zabi's only Godchild, Lucille Lauren Washburn. She was taking that ship home back to Side three. We have strong evidence that this was indeed an attempt upon her life. For when the ship crashed the Federation soldiers instant set to confirm the Kill..." He stated as it flashed again to Unit one kneeling down, and William exiting his Gundam. "If not for the Heroic intervention of Lt. Catrina Serentelli. This Man would have finished what the Federation started!" The Screen then showed Catrina standing over William and Baxter with her submachine gun. "Miraculously, Miss Lucille has survived the Crash, and is currently in Intensive Care." Again the screen flashed to show a badly burned little girl on oxygen. Her body squirming a bit in pain. They only covered her from just below the navel. Exposing her badly scorched upper body. William looked like he was about to turn Green as he remembered the smell of the burnt flesh.<br/><br/>"I ask you, Do we let these acts of butchery, and barbarism go unpunished!?" Acar asked the assembled troops. "NO!" came as a resounding answer. "THAT RIGHT! I DECLARE VENGEANCE UPON THE FEDERATION! We the People of Zeon will not stop. Will show no mercy to the Federation, and its supporters!" Acar shouted. Thrusting his fist into the air. The TV's speakers crackled with the deafening roar of the crowd. "HAIL ZEON!" Acar shouted. "HAIL ZEON...HAIL ZEON...HAIL ZEON...HAIL ZEON..." The zeons began to chant. "I think I am going to be sick." William said.
