The Mobile suits are secured down in the Cargo compartment, Pilots spread across the GAW. Orders stipulating they'll meet new assignments at the Base. However, cause of an encroaching Storm. The Mammoth plane was force to deviate into Enemy territory. The pilots praying they can slip through unnoticed as their weight limit has been reached by carrying their cargo. Thus, being unable to carry any Dopp Fighters for protection. <br><br>The Gaw's luck wouldn't be with them as they flew deep into enemy territory, a flight of Federation Core Fighters spotted the lone GAW, and dove in for the attack. The Gaw fought back hard, but it was a lumbering Giant before the swarm. One by One, its engines were hit. The Pilots, desperate to escape, and return to Zeon territory tried to turn the massive Bird back, and into the storm. However, the damage was done, and the Right Wing spar snapped, sending the GAW into a dive for the Forest thousands of Feet below.<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>OBJECTIVES:</strong></span></div><br>1.

She had her eyes closed as it was expected to be a peaceful ride. Her expectations however were shattered as a storm blew in and they were blown off course. "Idiots.....what do they think they are doing?" she grumbled as the turbulence struck the craft. Maria sighed as the GAW continued on it's way towards who knew where. The next piece of disturbance came when the GAW came under attack from the Federation core fighters. "Damnit" she growled as the large craft was no match for the smaller ones. Soon sirens were going off inside as they were now going down. Maria quickly unfastened herself and quickly made her way to the rear hanger where she found her Zaku II waiting for her. She was quick to get in and grab at least one of the machine guns before opening the rear hatch and jumping out of the craft.<br><br>The Zaku II quickly descended into the forest below. "This is just great" the young woman sighed as she watched the plane continue it's slow motion descent with fire spewing out of it's engines. "I'm going to have to go look and see how many supplies survive that" she sighed and began making her way towards the downed craft.

Reaching for his cup of coffee, he glanced around the mess for a second, his gaze resting on a few of the other soldiers there, noticing that none of those lower in rank were willing to meet his gaze. Perhaps his reputation was preceding him. That would make it hard to get in a good scrap but that never stopped him before. Taking a sip of the hot, bold liquid, he went to set the cup back down when the whole ship seemed to lurch. Turning his attention towards the window, he noticed a flash of lightning in the distance; his first thought being that the storm had caused the lurch in the ship. Char shook his head, reaching for his cup when suddenly the alarms began to blare across the ship, red lights pulsing incessantly. With a grumble he began to get to his feet, wondering what all the commotion could be about. “These damn pilots can’t handle a little storm? Just when I was getting comf…”<br><br>The ship lurched again, tipping noticeably now. He heard the sound of his coffee spilling, his hand instinctively reaching for the chair for balance. Shooting a glance at the window again, he noticed the yellow of tracer fire. “This is the captain. All hands get off the ship! I repeat, all hands abandon the carrier!”<br><br>Pushing off the chair, Char rushed towards the door, bouncing off a wall as the ship shook under incoming fire. Gritting his teeth, he continued down the hall as quickly as he could, shoving past anyone who dared to get in his way, he certainly wasn’t going to die upon this floating barge without getting the chance to put his feet on the ground. “Move you little rodents! Don’t you know who I am! Get the hell out of my way!”<br><br>Entering the cargo bay, he noticed a Zaku already moving out. He couldn’t tell who it might be but knew that he needed to follow suit in short order if he was going to have any chance down on the ground. Climbing aboard his Zaku, he fired up the systems, checking that everything was green. Securing his machine gun, he started for the door. Just as he was about to reach the hatch, he noticed an arms crate. Grabbing it with his right arm, he threw it out the door, barely hesitating before he forced the mobile suit to leap after it. As soon as he was clear, he began scanning for targets, his fingers working the controls quickly. Spotting one of the Fed ships, he attempted to rotate his Zaku, firing off a burst from his 120mm gun to try and drive them off, hoping to allow a few more suits to make it off the ship. As much as he loved a good fight, Char had a feeling they were going to need everything they could get.<br><br>An alarm went off to his right, drawing his attention to the altimeter. “Damn, lower than I was suspecting.” Doing his best to roll his suit over, he attempted to align his main thrusts towards the earth, counting to himself before he slammed his throttle forward, hoping it would be enough. Even with the cushion, he landed heavily; the suit seeming to skid slightly upon the ground. Rattled in his harness, he tasted blood, spitting a mouthful aside as he finally came to a stop. Checking his sensors, he was relieved to find that he had managed to come out in decent enough shape, though the thrusters seemed managed and his shield had been sheared off be the vegetation. Working the Zaku to its feet, he scanned his surroundings before spotting the bulk of the carrier continuing its smoking descent. No sign of anyone else. Punching up a secure line, he continued to scan his surroundings. <br><br>“Private First Class Rakan to all Zeon forces, is anyone reading me? I am currently at...” Glancing at his tactical map for a moment, he searched for a designation. “… Whiskey Three Zero. I repeat, Whiskey Three Zero. Do any Zeon forces read me?”<br>

Zeke was luckily piloting his Zaku II and not stuck on foot. He managed to make a mad scramble to his mobile suit and evacuate like the others. He wondered if Maria or any other squad mates made it out of the crash. Zeke heads towards the crash site cautiously. No telling what or who the noise had attracted.

She was analyzing everything around her as she made her way through the forest. She unlike some of the others had done her best to avoid getting into conflict with the enemy for now. Maria believed it would be a waste of time and resources. The green Zaku II that she was piloting moved through the woods slowly the sound of it's movements were very obvious to anything around.

She groaned as her chocolate eyes blinked up, whipping the glasses of her face. falling asleep with those things on was always a terrible idea. <strong>"I really need to disable the speaker in here..."</strong> She grumbled, giving her eyes a good rub down. But when the announcement finally registered with her, those dark orbs shot open and she froze. Abandon ship? Were they serious? The support truck commander was out of her seat in a flash, her adrenaline pumping as she rushed out of the tiny locker of an office. <br><br>Running to the cargo bay, she wasn’t surprised to see it a mad house, bodies everywhere running for this or that, mobile suits launching out of the hold. Her mind was racing to catch up and suddenly Jac’s stomach fell as her gaze caught the sight out of the window. Smoke plumed from the engines and the descent they were one was a fast one. <em>Think, think!</em> Every reaction that touched her mind was impossible. She wasn’t going to be able to insure anything survived this crash, even herself with how quickly they were descending. <br><br>But she sure as hell was going to try. <br><br>Spinning on her heels, Jac run out of the cargo bay. Jumping out of the carrier crossed her mind, but with the fires, smoke, and gunfire, her chances of survival were just as good in the carrier as they were out without a mobile suit. Racing down the halls of the deck, she decided it was best to strap herself in for the ride and pray to whatever deity or almighty force might be out there watching over her. Heavy boots slammed against the deck floor as she rushed through, opposite most of the rest of the crew. Orders were being shouted over heads of where to go, but Jac pushed by, knowing exactly where she wanted to be. The door to one of the communication centers slid open, red lights flashing the alert to leave and she rushed to one of the seats. Belting herself in tightly, she bent at the waist and covered her head with her arms. As if that would protect her from anything falling. <strong>"I'm not dying here."</strong> she said, her tone defiant. She simply refused.<br><br>The beeping alert started to sound the ground was quickly encroaching on them and she braces herself for impact. The moment the nose of the carrier crashed into the ground, Jac was jostled about in the seat, straining the belt that strapped her in. Steel and circuitry crumbled around her, sparks threatening to ignite, the screeching cries of the carrier drowning everything else out. As the carrier skipped like a rock on a smooth ponds surface, Jac was bounced about like a pinball and the sheer force knocked her head against the console. Her body sagged as she fell unconscious as the carrier still slid across the Earth, pulling up dirt and trees with it.

The Feds already had air cover, had no doubt spotted the location where the three of them had put down. And now they wanted to march towards a wreck deep inside Federation controlled territory. But faced with two corporals he doubted he would be able to get them to see his side. Gritting his teeth, he regarded the map once more, shaking his head. If he was reading it right, they were headed away from their base and potential reinforcements. Shaking his head again, he glanced around, attempting to locate the weapon crate that he had dropped. After a moment or two he noticed it amongst the trees to his right. Checking his scanners, he moved over to it, his heart falling slightly when he noticed its battered state, wondering what could have survived that fall. <br><br>Taking another moment to scan his surroundings, he checked the approximate positions of the other two Zakus. Nodding, he guided his suit into kneeling, prying the crate open so that he could look inside. Apparently his instincts had been right on the money with grabbing the crate. Reaching inside, he gathered up three of the drum clips for his machine gun, attaching them to the waist of his unit. He spotted rocket pods but noticed they were damaged and would be difficult to attach. Pulling the crate a bite more open, he smiled, noticing a heat hawk lodged under the pods. Prying it free, he inspected it for a moment before attaching it to his hip. Feeling a bit better now about marching deeper into enemy territory, he rose up and set off after the other two Zakus.<br><br>Machine gun held before him, he scanned back and forth, waiting for the ambush to come. He had been honestly surprised that they had managed to land without instantly coming under attack. The Fed air support seemed to be focused near the wreck. Checking his map, he continued to hold back his pace, still not that pleased about the current plan. <br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/eoKhCkc.png)(http://i.imgur.com/eeJFLwk.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> Seriline “Ser” Calisol (true name: Evangeline “Eve” Sauper)<br><strong>Gender:</strong> Female masquerading as male<br><strong>Rank:</strong> Private 1st Class (E-2)<br><strong>Location:</strong> Zeon GAW Carrier Crash Site<br><strong>Vehicle:</strong> ZMT-15 Tactical Support APC "Galuf"<br><strong>Tagged:</strong> Jac, Open<br><hr><em>Fake it ‘til you make it</em>, the former noble now known as “Seriline” thought to herself. The grease, from the left rear hoverpod of the support truck she was stationed to, refused to fully come off her hands. Those hands had once been delicate, but after only a few months of war, the calluses were making themselves at home. Seriline suspected that was more from scrubbing them after a dirty job than from the jobs themselves. The industrial grease that Zeonic preferred to use was meant to last.<br><br>It wasn’t just her hands, either. The sun’s radiation was taking its toll on her once porcelain skin, burning away its carefully tended perfection to reveal the sandy, uneven beige that she had come to realize was normal down here, on Gaia. In the colonies, skin color was just a matter of personal preference, since the artificial suns didn’t provide enough ultraviolet radiation to damage skin, since vitamins and minerals were fully covered by meals. Down here, your skin was whatever color you allowed it to be by going outside. <em>The Earth has a mind of its own. It’s not surprising that those who call this home feel bound to it.</em><br><br>The uncrafted nature of Earth gave it a special beauty. In orbit, everything was manmade, so no matter how beautiful it was, it was still impossible to prevent oneself from analyzing it. These mountains and forests and oceans had made themselves, and however influenced by mankind they might be, they had been here before <em>homo sapiens</em> and would be here long after. <em>I should leave this sort of philosophizing to greater minds than mine. I’m the genius who put on a binder and tried to be Garma Zabi, and here I am, scrubbing grease off my hands.</em><br><br>Seriline sighed and gave up, turning off the water and drying her hands that were now a solid gray. It was better than jet black, though not by much. At least she had gotten the engine back to full power. She had just started to unzip her overalls when the ship shook, hard. Ser’s legs buckled beneath her to absorb the turbulence and she found herself collapsed in a heap on the corrugated steel floor. Sure that no one was nearby, Ser let out a girly groan. “What now?” The klaxon told her. <em>Oh. Time to abandon ship. Lovely.</em><br><br>The washroom was attached to the Gaw’s hangar, so it was no time before Seriline was back at the truck. The ship’s shaking had knocked it slightly out of its moor, but it wasn’t difficult to clamber into it. Sergeant Marx was nowhere to be seen, and the evacuation order had been immediate. “Sorry boss,” she muttered, brushing the dyed-lavender hair out of her face and gunning the truck’s engines. A horrible screech accompanied the truck freeing itself from the docking clamps, replaced by a pleasant basso hum as it found hovering equilibrium.<br><br>The truck was sturdy, but it wouldn’t survive a kilometer drop even at full repulsor power. The altimeter said the plane was going down fast, but the repulsors kept it fairly pleasant for Seriline as Zaku after Zaku abandoned ship. When the meter read 200m, Ser slammed the throttle, sending the truck shooting from the hangar bay like a rocket, as far as an outside observer could tell, but the acceleration of the truck accounted for only some of the ship’s velocity, resulting in the truck landing butt first and skidding backwards along the forest floor.<br><br>Dazed from the repeated sudden changes of momentum, Seriline pawed at the comm. “Private Calisol here. Did anybody survive the crash? I got the Galuf out in one piece. If anybody needs pickup, let me know.”

Although he was fine in the zaku cockpit, the impact had damaged the controls and now, although much of the zaku was still operational the machine refused to move, whithout repairing the electronic parts broken the zaku will not be able to perform any movement. Saigo look the screen just to find out that everything else was fine, except by one tiny detail, the radiocommunication device was broken too.<br><br>It could be fixed, but without the digital components to encrypt his messages, any transmission could be heard by his comrades and the enemies as well; it was not necessary to put in danger the rest of the crew. So, he was all by himself unable to use his zaku or to ask for help.<br><br>But after some minutes the black screen of his MS cockpit reflected a smile in his face, he would not be discouraged by these events: <strong>"it only can get better"</strong> he said to himself while opening the door of his cockpit to try to find his partners or a way to repair his MS and jumping to the ground with a survival backpack and a gun. He saw around, the forest offered several places to advance covered by trees and shadows, at least he would not be easy caught.<br>&nbsp;

That was his only advantage, but unless a comrade comes into that range he could not make any contact, and with the rain increasing at every minute, coming down and walking was already almost impossible, not saying that he would have to walk around in a unknown forest looking for his partners without any trace of them.

The head of the Zaku continued to rotate as far as it possibly could so that she could continue to monitor the area around her as she walked.

It would disguise them from approaching enemies, but it would also disguise them from allies as well. Minovsky’s double-edged sword was more than willing to cut both ways.

That meant that it had been shot down, and very quickly. Seriline checked her console to ensure that the guns and missile pods were loaded and ready to fire, as well as flipping on the non-radar sensors. Infrared, thermal, seismic, aural, and even basic motion detectors were all active and seeking Federation signatures. For the moment, all indicators were clear. <em>I hope the boss is alright.</em>

				<strong>Picture of your Character:</strong> <br>(http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/08thmsteam/ms-06jc.jpg) <br>Char Rakan (http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110206082355/gundam/images/thumb/c/c9/Rakan1.gif/300px-Rakan1.gif)<br><strong>Location:</strong>Forest under Fed control.<br><strong>Tags:</strong> Open<br><hr><br>Char had kept his pace slow, moving in a more circular, flanking direction than a direct heading for the wreck. He felt oddly exposed even with the cover of the rain and heavy vegetation to either side of him. He was beginning to suspect that it was due to their lack of knowledge of the area and the fact that they were pressing so deep into enemy territory when they were ill-equipped for the task. Pausing every few meters in his trek, he glanced at his position, double checking where he knew the GAW had gone down and his best guess where the other Zakus were. He could hear the chatter buzzing in his ear, glancing instinctively in the direction of the signal even though he knew he wouldn’t be able to see anything. Why had there been no contact yet?<br><br>He had always heard that the Feddies liked a good fight and had fully expected to be jumped on the minute they touched down. Now the lack of enemy spotting or any really challenge was starting to get on his nerves and play with his mind. He kept double checking the shadows, shifting whenever a branch, heavy from rain, shifted in a way that he wasn’t suspecting. But there was nothing. Not even an animal to blame for his jumpiness. Scolding himself silently, he picked up his pace, beginning to close in on the gathering of units. If there was going to be an ambush, he figured it would be better to have support than to go toe to toe in unfamiliar terrain. <br><br>Hearing the report about a damaged Zaku caused Char to slow his pace, glancing around a bit more, his machine held out before him. A downed suit would draw them in for sure if they figured it out. With minimal ammunition and no support, he could only guess at how long they would be able to hold out. Checking his position, he slowly lowered his Zaku down onto one knee, steadying the barrel of the machine gun in the direction he suspected the enemy might approach. “Private Rakan here, setting ambush ten meters Northwest of GAW.”<br>

				Murphy's Law of Combat: The Enemy will attack when they're ready, and you're not.<br><br>Rakan wouldn't be given a chance to set up his ambush as no sooner than he reached his destination than the ground began to erupt all around him. The explosions causing several of the larger trees to splinter, and crack as they started to fall. It was one of the Federation GM Teams that was sent in to mop up the crash, and look for any intelligence. The heavy firepower was coming from a GM Ground type set up with a 180mm Cannon. It was flanked by three others. Two with 100mm Machine guns, and one with a Bazooka. Under the cover of Cannon Fire. the three charged at Rakan's Zaku.

If the Feddies stop momentarily his advance fearing an ambush it might give the Zeons unvaluable minutes to reorganize. And also, after calling the Corporal Zeke a "private" and making up names about soldiers that never had served in the squad he expected his own comrades knew it was a lie to gain time and not fool friends and foes equally.

She was sifting through though she was disappointed that she didn't seem to be finding any survivors of the carrier. Though she did find a few battered crates which she set aside for the moment. "I wonder what I should do next?" she mused it looked like most of the crates she had found were full of broken and useless materials but the few she found that seemed decent she moved away from the carrier.<br><br>Once she was a safe distance (though not too far away from the carrier) she fired one shot from her 120 mm machine gun into&nbsp; the exposed fuel tank of the carrier sending it up in a large fire ball. This of course knocked her suit over backwards causing some minor external damage but she wasn't too concerned about that. She then checked into the three crates and discovered that she had been wrong the crates had ALL been useless "Damn" she grumbled as she quickly moved away from the carrier towards Saigo and Zeke.

				The GMs continued to press the attack, The didn't need prisoners. Slowly they closed on the position of Zeke, and Saigo. Though the thick forest, and rain was hampering their Advance, and aim. Other teams were in route to back up the attack, but it'll take them time to get there. <br><br>The Lead GM suddenly stopped, and held up his shield for the others stop suddenly. As planned, they over heard Saigo's bluff, and were reacting. Believing that they stuck a short stick in the hornet's nest. They were closing up their formation to something of a defensive wheel. If the Zeons truly had that much Man, and Firepower. They'll have to hold out until back up arrived. <br><br>However, that plan went right out the window when the GAW suddenly went up like a roman Candle.

				THe Rain started to coming down, and hard. The Dark clouds making day into almost night as the grounds started to get muddy, and soupy. Most of the GM suits had to be redirected to the Gaw carrier to keep the Fire contained so not to set entire forest ablaze. The rest were sent after the surviving Zakus. They were trying the thread their way through the dense forest of trees. The Storm continued to rage over head, and prevented any Air cover. <br><br>One Group of three GMs with 100mms managed to locate the Group. They fired several burst from their Machine guns.

You can't hit for shit!" The GM Pilot taunted. Not realizing that he was not Zeke's target. To his side, he heard the cracking of trees, and rocks as the ground started to give from underneath the GM's feet. "Ooohhhh Sheeeeet!"

She really couldn't resist jumping either as it reminded her of her childhood on earth.

Still she wondered if she looked dumb for using her mobile suit in this manner.

				Once across the River, The team was pretty much home free, the pursuing GM suits figuring that it was too much trouble to pursue the Zaku's any further. Doing so would endanger them by the threat of running across a Zeon patrol. There was sure to be some looking for survivors of the Gaw Crash. <br><br>It wouldn't be long before S.Sargent Blanke, and his team would run across a Zeon patrol. One of the Zaku IIs carrying the distinctive Horn of a Squad Leader. "Halt!" THe Leader Stated. "State the Pass phrase!" The Horned Zaku demanded. The pass phrase was to ensure that no Federation could use the confusion of Battle to slip their agents in captured Zakus into the Enemy ranks. Even member of the Team would have been told this pass phrase before the GAW Took off.

				Whom ever came up with these pass phrases certainly had a sense of humor, and it showed. Whether it was properly placed, and appreciated was another story. When the Pass Phrase was uttered, or rather sang. The Horned Zaku lowered its Machine gun. "(snickering) Thanks...you know, you should really think of going on stage. You have such a lovely voice." the Pilot teased. When Zeke asked if they can proceed, The Horned Zaku stepped aside. "Yes, My Team will escort you. We heard about GAW crash. I'm surprised you all survived. Course, I don't think everyone on that bird did." the Pilot stated as he led Zeke, and his team to the base. Soon, they were pointed to a set of Empty berths. "You can park'em There." The Horned Pilot stated. "Debriefing is just inside the Admin Building. It is the large one in the center of the Compound" He told Zeke.

She herself was simply enjoying her drink. She didn't quite plan on being too social as it would prevent the deaths of others from hitting her too hard. She had learned years ago that being emotionally attached to someone could only hurt. It had been back during the early riots against the newly formed Zeon's desires to form a self governing body that her grandmother and younger sister had died. The pain from that incident still burned in Maria's chest to this very day. <br><br>When the call for them to go the briefing room came she just got up with a sigh and placed her glass on the counter "Guess I won't get to enjoy that after all" she sighed. Still she was on the move. When she heard what their mission was she could only heave a sigh and prepare herself for the upcoming job. It was then that Zeke asked if she knew anything about getting a new recruit "How the hell should I know? DO I LOOK like a den mother to you?" she asked him sarcastically. Just after that however the door opened up and in walked "Fresh Meat" as they often called troops fresh out of the academy. "Ok...so we got us a greenhorn....nothing too new I guess" she remarked.

After the fiasco with the last landing carrier which required it's passengers to blast themselves out of Federation territory, the whole shipping operation was shut down for long enough to allow the air traffic controllers to sit down, breathe, figure out what the hell had happened, and fix it. With that having been handled, new ships began transporting more firepower, goods, and most importantly, personnel. Among the first freighters to touch down, a young brunette stepped out of the cool, climate controlled cargo bay of the GAW and into harsh sunlight, causing her to wince a little bit in pain and shield her eyes from the ruthless light. "Nnnn..." <br><br>Despite having lived in the colonies for nineteen years, and being well adjusted to the ideas of night and day, this was her first time seeing the actual sun in all it's glory. It was... quite the eye opening experience, to be sure... Or rather, the eye CLOSING one, in Amelia's case. Either way, she was quick to recover with a few soft blinks as she started moving towards the in-processing building along with all of her fellow newcomers. After a full time assembly line of stamps in her folder, being handed a few new papers, being told a few new things, and being given her unit assignment, she would FINALLY be released to go and meet her new companions.<br><br>Supposedly the person she was supposed to be reporting to was one "Zeke Blanke", staff sergeant type. It would take the girl some time wandering around the compound, and the barracks area, looking almost like a lost puppy as she asked others about where she'd be able to find her new reporting official. Finally, somebody took the poor girl by the nose before dragging her all the way to the hangar, where Zeke was preparing. Standing straight up, she coughed gently to get his attention before looking him dead in the eyes with a gaze that just <em>screamed</em> artificial confidence, the type that somebody fresh off the plane, and fresh out of basic training, would have. <br>"Excuse me, sir... Are you Sergeant Blanke? My- erm.... My documents state that I'm to join your unit..."<br><br>The confidence faltered a little, as she fidgeted and waited anxiously for his answer.

He swore that who ever designed them never figured in the Male anatomy as it always seemed to pinch, and pull in the wrong places. Honestly, William was nervous. This was his first actual deployment. Every thing before hand has been Simulations or training on secured courses, and all those were the older Zaku Is. As he reached into the cockpit to grab hold of the handle, William felt his hand shaking. He balled it into a fist, and took a couple of deep breaths to try, and calm down. Opening his eyes, he saw someone enter the hanger. A young woman with brown hair. "who's she?" He wondered before pulling himself into the cockpit of his Zaku II. <br><br>Plopping upon the pilot's chair, William reached out for the headset that would keep him in communication with his new team makes. Bout 10 feet below him, he could fee the Minovsky Particle reactor spooling up to life. His suit was waking up. "Ok Private. We're going to be buttoning you up in a few minutes." The grounds crew stated. William nodded as he looked around from the opening in the cockpit. He could see maria across the way. The last thing he did was silently say a prayer for him, and his team to come out of this fight alive.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/YpQ13LL.jpg)</div> <strong>Name:</strong> Amelia Faber<br><br><strong>Current Location:</strong> Zeon Earth base<br><br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Zeke Blanke, then alone.<br><br><hr><br>Amelia looked surprised when she was ordered to suit up, due to an attack on a listening post that was about to head out. "A-already!? Er... Right, yes sir! No questions at this time." She moved towards the lockers, shocked to believe that she hadn't even had the time to unpack her bag and she was already going to be hopping into a mobile suit and going out to fight? She shivered gently at the thought, but ended up going through with it nonetheless as she quickly got changed. Thankfully, her normal suit had been issued to her during in-processing, and she had already been assigned a Zaku, so she was ready to head out pretty much upon arrival. As she climbed up and settled into the seat, she ended up muttering softly under her breath. "I guess this is what real war is like..." No time to settle in, no time to get her hand held. She was here to do a job, and she was going to <em>do it</em>.<br><br>Still, it did feel strange, foreign even. Still, she took in a deep breath as she went through the all too familiar motions of clicking on her inner-team intercom. According to the in-processing packet, she was going to be part of a 4 man unit. That meant that it was her, Zeke, and two others that she had yet to meet. For a moment she debated clicking on the comm to introduce herself, but she remembered from her training that using the radios was reserved pretty much exclusively for mission planning and essential team communication. As far as she knew, the only introduction she'd need was a brief 'this person is with us', and that would suffice.<br><br>So she kept quiet, and simply waited for something to happen.

She also couldn't help but chuckle at William's attitude she found it quite refreshing to have someone who didn't get offended right off the bat by her rather snarky attitude. She stretched lazily as she made her way to the hanger where her Zaku would be waiting for her. Since she was on earth and nowhere near an ocean she didn't see a reason for wearing the pilot suit they provided. She simply got into the cockpit of her mobile suit and did the pre-mission check of all the systems. The Zaku itself was still slightly dinged up from the arrival operation but she could live with that since none of her operational functions had been damaged.<br><br>While she had been in the Zaku she had seen a brunette come into the hanger wearing the normal suit a she climbed into a Zaku. "Hmm...so we got another new recruit eh? this should be interesting". She casually leaned out of her Zaku and shouted across the cradle "OI New girl What are ya called?"

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/YpQ13LL.jpg)</div> <strong>Name:</strong> Amelia Faber<br><br><strong>Current Location:</strong> Zeon Earth base<br><br><strong>Tagging:</strong> Maria<br><br><hr><br>Amelia actually jolted just a little when she heard the voice booming out towards her, a pink haired girl asking her for her name. She looked towards the other woman, giving her a questioning gaze for a few moments before she slipped into the cockpit and turned on her radio. It didn't seem natural for her to shout across the entire cradle like that... Not only was it unprofessional, but she didn't really see herself as being somebody that could project her voice very well. Either way, Maria would have her answer as she spoke into the comm quickly, so as not to get in the way of any potential orders from their boss. "My name is Private Faber... I'm going to be joining the unit from here on out."<br><br>Was there something else she was supposed to say? She didn't THINK so... But then again, judging from what she'd already seen since touching down at this base, there were all kinds of people around, and they likely had all kinds of different expectations of what was normal and acceptable in a given conversation. Blessedly, Amelia didn't have to let herself dwell on this any further, as another voice came in over the comms, letting Amelia, and hopefully the others, know that the light was green and that they were authorized to deploy.<br><br>Amelia took in a deep breath to prepare herself and steel her nerves again, as she waited for Zeke to give the order. She'd be lying to herself if she said that she wasn't nervous, but this was hardly the time or the place for such things. She HAD been sufficiently trained, she just needed to put faith in herself, and come out strong. Yes, she could do this.
