				<em>After Colony 195</em><br><br>Operation Meteor had begun, the gundams and their pilots were on Earth now, receiving and carrying out the orders they were being given. They had been trained to fight, to use their gundams to attack OZ without mercy. All to rid the Alliance of it's weapons, a cause to free the colonies from their rule. From each of the five colonies, one pilot had been selected, never knowing about the others involved in their fight against the looming threat of OZ.<br><br>Though there was one other, older than the five pilots that had been sent to Earth ahead of her already. She was the backup plan, a failsafe control, if the gundams failed, then she would step in and complete the mission herself. As fate would have it, she was the older sister of Gundam Shenlong pilot Wufei Chang. Her brother would never know what she was doing, that she was even involved in the plot to end OZ's rule over the colonies.<br><br>Jia Li Chang wasn't a weak woman, having descended from the same line of warriors as her brother, she is stronger than she appears. Fairly tall for a woman, though not strangely so, she commands a certain amount of respect with only her presence. Her body is slender, athletic, toned to perfection from years of martial arts training. Long, black hair usually fell free to rest against the gentle curve of her lower back, taking pride in the silky strands when she was able to wear her hair down. <br><br>Her eyes were dark, like her brother's eyes, nearly black at times if one were to look closely and carefully enough. Creamy, satin soft skin, contrasting with the darkness of her hair and her eyes, making her stand out from other women. Long, athletic legs led up to softly curved hips, a small waist, and a smooth, flat stomach. Fully, perky breasts lay beneath her clothes, an asset that was, for some, hard to miss when near her. She wasn't proportioned strangely, nothing like that, it was only clear that she was very much a woman.<br><br>All of that was almost hidden now though, she was a woman being sent to complete a mission, not to look beautiful the entire time. Jia took her mission seriously though, she wanted to bring honor to her family, to have her brother's approval. Wufei had married young, so very young, and had lost his dear wife, Jia too had felt the pain of her passing. Now he was so unapproachable, feeling that women had no place fighting because they were weak. Jia would prove him wrong, and free the colonies in the same hand.<br><br>The soft sound of her boots on the stone floor was the only thing that echoed down the corridor she was in. An ordinary soldier's uniform covered her body, hiding away most of her soft curves and her feminine appearance. Her hair was braided and then pulled up tightly into a small, secure bun on her head to keep it out of her face. She was going to infiltrate OZ, and she was going to do it right under Treize Khushrenada's nose. The unit she was applying to, and would be accepted into, was his, completely under his command. Almost like his personal fighting force, as they had no other leader or agenda.<br><br>Lady Une would prove to be Jia's only problem, she had done extensive research on the woman, and had not liked her much at all. If anyone was going to notice that she was out of place within OZ, Une would be the one woman to notice it. Jia could only hope that she wasn't discovered so soon, she needed to have time to gather information, report and then receive her new set of orders after that. Lifting her hand, she knocked on the door that was situated at the end of the corridor. Inside, she hoped, she would get her first glimpse of Treize and Une in person, she would commit their images to memory for future use.

				(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/TreizeandLadyUne.jpg)<br><br>There were voices. Suddenly a feminine hand opened the door. "I really do not enjoy this attire sir" Lady Une said. She felt not at easy in civillian attire. She shot a glare at the 'soldier', her eyes turned to slits. <br>Treize stepped forward soon after, standing next to the beautiful brunette, he overshadowed her presence without even trying. The uniform suited him well. Clad in blue and white with golden decorations here and there, he leaned casually on a ceremonial saber. A white gloved hand slid through his blonde locks.<br>Jia Li Chang got a first look of the Specials Commander and immediately understood why the men liked him. He oozed confidence, he looked disciplined and in control while emanating no agression or brutality. In fact he was among the most handsome men she had ever laid eyes upon.<br>He offered his arm to his aide. "It is only a brief ceremony... you'll be back in a more familiar habitat in no time my lady" he said. Her elegant arm snaked around his. The perceptive asian infiltrator could easily detect a flicker of... 'need' in the female officer's gaze. Strong and gruff, Lady Une had always been little more than clay in his hands.<br>The Commander stopped suddenly. He took her in for a moment and nodded "Did you wish to speak to me soldier?" he said. "I must leave soon but if you have something to report or discuss..." he stopped a moment and then added surprisingly "Jia... fire away".<br>Treize had an uncanny ability of remembering and memorizing names among other things and it made him very popular. He knew his men and not a single death or wounded escaped his attention. To him, soldiers were not pawns and their sacrifices were made for a higher good... never carelessly. This was a rarity among the military aristocracy that dominated the Alliance Military.<br>

				Upon stepping into the room, she noted the presence of Lady Une first, dark eyes looking the other female over for a moment. Memorizing her face was important, Jia needed to remember every detail for later, she had to. The sudden glare from the older woman didn't escape Jia's eyes, she was well aware that she wasn't liked by her. It didn't matter, it suited her just fine, the only one she needed to like her was Treize. A new identity had been formed for her, though her name remained Jia, she was not using Chang as her last name. Using the same name as her brother would have been disastrous.<br><br>For the purposes of infiltrating OZ, she was given the name Jia Ito, it wasn't inventive but it would do for the time being. A moment later, her eyes flickered to Treize, who had moved to stand next to Une, and the sight almost made Jia lose her breath. He was unlike anything she had ever seen before, devastatingly handsome. Dark, knee high boots led up to pristine white pants and then to a deep blue uniform shirt. Her eyes glanced up to his blue eyes, finding that it was so hard for her to look away, to even want to look away. <br><br>Shaking herself mentally, she managed to break the gaze into his eyes, though when he moved a little, she tensed. Quietly, she watched as he offered his arm to Une, who quickly entwined their arms, ah jealousy. Jia noted the look, she had seen it before, the woman needed Treize almost too much, displayed it too openly. The very thought of a woman acting so weak made the inner warrior in her laugh. She wouldn't be a problem for the younger woman, Jia knew she could easily catch Treize's eye if she needed to. <br><br>When he said her name, she tensed for a moment, he had managed to memorize her name already, so easily? It was a bit intimidating, it seemed that the two of them were on equal ground when it came to intelligence. Coming to stand at attention, she saluted him and then gave a bow, low and submissive, something she hated but would do to gain his attention. "Sir, I was informed that I should come to you upon my arrival. Please forgive my interruption, I need only to ask what you wish me to do." Deciding to test her theory about Une, and to gain a bit of knowledge about the other woman, Jia smiled softly.<br><br>Lifting her head a little, she glanced up at Treize, almost from beneath the long, dark lashes framing her eyes. She could play off of her own looks, like she was doing now, pulling an overly feminine look up onto her face and into her eyes as she looked at the commander. "Anything you wish me to do, I am yours to command, to do with as you see fit." Jia flinched inside, she hated the way she sounded, she was not that submissive, not at all. If was only for the benefit of information gathering, appear to submit to him, to be led by him, and she would have access to what she needed.

				Surprisingly Treize chuckled. "You treat me like a king. I assure you... I am not. Stand tall and proud. Salute your superior but do not bow" he added.<br>"You may walk with us" he said.<br>Lady Une had thrown the 'recruit' an angry glare. Apparently she viewed the asian beauty as an intruder.<br>As the trio walked, Treize stopped a moment as he watched the courtyard. A green Leo walked into view. The massive humanoid Mobile Suit carried a heavy machinegun. This behemoth of war was one of the suits used by the Specials.<br>"Magnificent sight" he said "A testimony of both humanity's genius... and it's desires to protect and to cause destruction in equal measure." he glanced at Jia.<br>"Or perhaps a bit more destruction than protection?" he looked at her, clearly gauging her expression. He was testing her perhaps?<br>Lady Une had crossed her arms, annoyed that the moment had been ruined by the intrusion. <br>The Leo turned around and knelt suddenly, sliding open, someon jumped out. The pilot touched the ground just as a series of technicians came into view.<br>Jia had undoubtably noticed that quite a few Leo's had been coming and going lately.

				A soft blush crossed her cheeks, called upon by her mostly, when he gave that soft laugh of his. Though it wasn't completely called on by her, the man did have an effect on her, but she wouldn't admit to it easily. Jia smiled softly, almost shyly as she looked up at him, letting their eyes meet for a moment. "I happily bow to you, such respect is what you deserve." She was using the sweetest voice she had, almost like she was trying to entice him, though it was more to keep Une angry with her.<br><br>Jia wanted nothing to do with Une, and would be happier if she stayed mad at her all the time, it would work to her advantage in the end. At being invited to walk with them, she cast him a dazzling smile, almost as though he had made her the happiest woman on Earth. Unlike Une though, she didn't take his arm, didn't hang on him like some needy little girl. No, Jia was above that, she wouldn't hang on the arm of any man, they would come to her in due time if that was what she wanted.<br><br>Dark eyes turned to the Leo unit, it should have surprised her, but it didn't, she had a gundam of her own. "They are magnificent, such things aren't made for protection. They are made for the art of war, nothing more than that." Stepping away from his side, she walked over to the kneeling Leo unit, sliding her hand over the cool metal. It was almost as though she was offering the machine a loving touch, appreciating the design of such a weapon.<br><br>"The design, however, is flawed in more points than one. No disrespect to you of course, though they are weaker than one would like. They turn too slowly, the system isn't designed for faster combat." Stopping where she was, she turned to look back at Treize and smiled softly, inclining her head to him. "Forgive me, I do take pride in the tools I use to fight with. I hope I haven't offended you." Walking back over, she rejoined him at his side, not really upset about the amount of Leos she was seeing, she had fought them before in her own gundam.

				(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/Darthvegeta800/Leo.jpg)<br><br>The Leo was sparkling new, so much was clear. <br>Treize Kushrenada smiled lightly at her analysis. "True. More performance is certainly possible. In fact there were models in the past who were quite superior. But the problem is... one cannot equip an army of them. And to establish order you need quantity, not just quality" he slid his white glove over the green metal. The Mobile Suit had a cycloptic look. Lady Une suddenly spoke "Sir... we are expected".<br>"Let them wait a moment longer..." he said "There are other Mobile Suits being created to supplement the current arsenal. More performing and specialized. But do not underestimate the Leo. It is a versatile workhors, adaptable and easily maintained" his blue gaze fixed Jia for a moment. <br>"A good general appreciates models like the Leo. History has given ample proof that such an underdog will always be necessary. And a good pilot will overcome the limitations of his or her suit" he turned to Lady Une. "Let us go" he glanced a final time and spoke "Friday the Alliance will have an important meeting. The Specials have been granted the privilege of guarding the event" he said "If you wish you may be part of the taskforce" he said.<br>Lady&nbsp; Une bit her lower lip. She did not understand why a man like Commander Kushrenada wasted his time with this newcomer.<br><br>A black limo drove onto the courtyard and a soldier stepped out, opening the door for his superiors. A tech or two were approaching the Leo with a large kart of spareparts.

				She listened to him speaking, he had his points about the units, but having fought them herself she knew their flaws all too well. He may have wanted to intimidate with the amount of units he had, but a gundam could destroy them completely. While she thought that in her mind, she didn't dare speak it, simply nodding to him and offering a soft smile.<br><br>"Only the opinion of a soldier, nothing more, please forgive me for being so forward." Jia said softly back to him as she clasped her hands in front of her. It was clear the Une didn't like the attention he was giving her, and that made the younger woman very happy. Glancing back to Treize, she inclined her head a bit to him, listening to his comment about overcoming the limitations of the model.<br><br>With a gentle movement of her body, she gave a soft bow to him, lifting her head when he spoke about the taskforce. "If you wish me to be a part of such, then I will gladly be a part of it. Any order you have for me, I will follow, I am yours to command...." Her eyes flickered to Une for a moment before she finished what she was saying, "...yours alone." She was very clearly establishing her place near him in Une's eyes, she wouldn't obey an order from the woman, she'd already decided that much.<br><br>Jia watched as they walked toward the limo, the other woman could fawn over the Commander all she wanted. In the end, Jia knew that it wouldn't take much to gain his full attention, even if Une was present. Dark eyes glanced around the area for a moment and then she turned, starting to go back toward the room she'd been given to stay in. She needed to get a status report sent in, and then she could get her next set of orders, obviously she had managed to infiltrate OZ without a single problem.

				"I don't trust her" Lady Une said in the car. The door had only just been closed by the driver.<br>Treize was pouring them a drink from the minibar and offered her a glass. "Of course you don't. That's your job. A job you do delightfully well" he said.<br>She looked at him questioningly.<br>"Keep an eye on her. But don't act. Her presence serves me quite well" he sipped from his drink.<br>"She's a clever one. Very clever but also very arrogant. She's still young and presumes too much" <br>"What did she do?" Une asked.<br>The Commander gave her a tiny smile "Why my dear Lady... she got me intrigued..." he chuckled and took a sip, leaning back.<br>He glanced at the glass in his hand. The red liquid moved gently inside glass captivity. He saw his own reflection.<br>Already he was slowly placing the pieces on the board for his masterplan. And unwillingly, he'd make sure that even Jia's actions would serve him in the long-run.<br>He hadn't been sure at first but after meeting her, he was certain that the swift and elegant pilot would be 'perfect'.<br>The limousine drove of, leaving behind the Leo. In the distance three others walked, a small practice-run. The Specials trained more than any other unit.<br>"Lady Une..." he said as he looked up at her "Contact Zechs when we get back. I need to talk to him."<br>To his amusement this took her also of guard. He had not informed Lady Une about all his plans just yet. But she'd find out eventually. For now though, he preferred to keep his silence. Best to let the dice roll a bit longer before he'd take his own gamble.

				Once she was sure they had left, Jia went on inside the building where her room was located for the time being. Unlocking the door, she stepped inside and closed it behind her, locking it back as well. Walking over, she opened her laptop and turned it on, waiting for it to load up so that she could report. While she waited, she slowly and gently pulled her hair down from the bun and then untangled it from the long braid.<br><br>After the laptop had loaded, she sat down in the chair that was in front of the table where her laptop sat. Slender fingers flew over the keyboard, making no mistakes at all while she secured a connection and then sent out her report. Only moments later, she received her new orders, they were very simple and completely to the point.<br><br><em>'Get close to Treize Khushrenada, find out what he is planning.'</em><br><br>Simple enough of a mission, she could do that quite easily and while she did, she could also gather some information. Quickly as she had started the computer up, she kill the uplink and scrambled the message she'd sent and received, making sure no one could recover them. Finished with that task, she turned the computer off and stood from the chair, running her fingers through her long hair.<br><br>Taking her time, she unbuttoned the top of her uniform and pulled it off, dropping it onto her bed without a care. Beneath the uniform top, she wore a simple, white tank top that was every bit a feminine as she was. For a moment, she paused, sliding her boots off and pushing them just under the edge of the bed. Slipping her socks off, she put them aside and then went to the small window in her room.<br><br>She could see so much of the base from this point, something she loved about the room she'd been given, it was perfect. Quiet as ever, she removed the uniform pants she had on, laying them on the bed with the top, taking a moment to stretch a little. Turning, she walked over to the closet and pulled out of pair of white pants, very similar to those that Wufei wore all the time. Pulling them on, she adjusted them on her hips and then looked back outside, she wanted to know what Treize was planning.

				Her next encounter would not be directly with Treize Kushrenada but with Lady Une...<br><br>A few days later while she sat in a simulator, there was a tap on the side of the fake cockpit. Upon opening it, a young officer stood there.<br>Clad in a tidy uniform, he had put a gloved hand on the side of machine. He held his cap in his other hand.<br>"Jia?" he asked "I was told to come get you. Apparently you're wanted in the main building. Better hurry up... it's important" he said.<br>He bit his lower lip and leaned closer "It's Lady Une... best not let her wait. She does not look very happy" he whispered.<br>"Something big is up I think" he led the way and as they walked he talked about the recent terrorist bombings on several Alliance installations.<br>"Scum. The collateral damage was huge. We don't even know the motivation behind these attacks" he spoke of. "Barely anything is known at the moment" he said.<br>Reaching the building, the guards let them pass. The young officer led her to Lady Une's quarters and gave a cautious tap "Madame?" he asked as he entered.<br>Voices after he closed the door. Less than fifteen seconds later he stood outside "You can go in... and be careful. She's 'very' displeased" he warned her. "See you around!" and then he walked of with large strides...

				She hadn't seen or heard from Treize since their first meeting, but the young Chinese woman wasn't too worried about that. It hadn't taken very much to get him to notice her, to realize that she had something to offer to his cause. Since then, she had been training in the simulator, it was nothing compared to being in her gundam though. The only up side to it was that she was learning more about the Leo units and how they moved, so much could still be improved on the unit, she was sure of that.<br><br>Treize might believe fully in his Leo units, but she knew first hand that a gundam could wipe them out so easily. Sighing a little, she sat in the simulator, not even really trying, but she was still an excellent pilot it seemed. The knock on the outside of the fake cockpit made her eyes narrow a little as she flipped the simulation off. Turning to the young man, she raised an eyebrow at him. "It always is important if I am needed in that building." Though when she heard who wanted to see her, she let out a short laugh as she climbed out of the cockpit. <br><br>"You would do well not to let anyone frighten you, it only leads to weakness." She said as she walked a little ahead of him, it wasn't like she needed an escort. It appeared that he was intent on leading her there anyway, so she tolerated him for the moment. "They all have their reasons, it shouldn't shock you all so much." Shaking her head a little, she stopped at the door to Une's room, a light smirk on her face as she watched the timid way the soldier was behaving. He went inside and Jia merely stood there, not at all worried or perplexed about it. <br><br>When he came back outside, she gave a light shrug of her shoulders, "Let her be displeased, she is not my concern." Pushing the door open, she stepped inside and closed it behind her, walking a little ways into the room. The smirk was still in place on her lips as she looked at Une, not at all worried or even curious. "I wasn't aware I was supposed to heed to your call, especially during my training hours. As I said before, so very clearly, I do not answer to you, I only answer to Commander Khushrenada, so please, do state your business with me, this is wasting valuable training time." She was cocky and forward with Une, two things she wouldn't be around Treize, but she couldn't stand the woman at all.

				"Speak to me again like that and you will be kicked out of the Specials." Lady Une said calmly.<br>The woman had become Treize's righthandwoman for all the right reasons. She was a ruthless and effective officer. A good pilot but above all she had many talents a Commander could use. She could fight, she could think fast and she had a nack for pulling of the nastier tasks Treize preferred not to handle in person. Clad in her red and white uniform and wearing glasses, Lady Une looked strict and in no way like the fair woman that had accompagnied Treize when they had first been introduced.<br>She approached Jia "Salute and stand at attention" she snapped "I have orders for you" passing her she smiled lightly "From Commander Kushrenada himself..."<br>She waited a moment and then continued "You will accompagny his Excellency and be part of the guard of honor. I have personally assigned Leo Unit 45B to you" she said. "The commander will be watching you. I suggest you do not dissapoint... or embarass him" she said.<br>The two women locked gazes.

				Jia merely brushed off the other woman's comment to her, she didn't care what she had to say at this point. Dark eyes watched the older woman, neither fearing or respecting her in any form. Being trained the way she was, Jia bowed to no one unless she thought they deserved her time, her moment to bow to them. "I will speak how I wish, at least to you. Kick me out if you wish, I am sure my talents would be very welcome and appreciated on the side of the enemy if you were to 'kick' me out." She relaxed herself, folding her hands in front of her body before shrugging a little, "I wouldn't mind joining the enemy just to be able to kill you, that would be my shining moment, and I would enjoy watching you die."<br><br>It was cold, much colder than anything she had ever said in front of the woman before, but she meant every word of it. When Une approached her, she moved her hands to her side, she didn't like the other woman being near her. "I will do my job and I will do it well, for him. Not for you. You may have your so called 'uses' to him for now, but I have everything you don't have, and all of what you do have." Shaking her head a little, she took the few steps backward to the door before she paused. Brushing a few strands of her hair out of her face, she smirked at the other woman a little, "If you think to order me to do anything again, I won't be so forgiving. This is the last time I will say that I do not answer to you, ever, the Commander is my only leader."<br><br>She turned toward the door, but&nbsp; only a second later she had turned to face Une again, the sound of metal embedding itself into wood echoing through the room. Just past Une's head, sticking in the wall was something that looked almost like a needle. It was sharp, thin and barely noticeable, but it was a weapon that Jia used effectively. Dark eyes glittered dangerously and she laughed softly as she watched a small line of blood trickle down Une's cheek. "Oh how horrible I am...I missed..." Opening the door, she stepped out into the hall and closed it behind her, the other woman was lucky she hadn't killed her on the spot. If they crossed paths again, Jia wouldn't be so kind, she'd already warned the older woman, and she meant what she had said to her.

				Lady Une used a whitegloved hand to wipe of some blood.<br>She ignored the sting for the rest, her angered gaze fixing Jia's back until she left.<br>Biting her lower lip, she closed her eyes for a moment.<br>"If His Exellency did not need this... woman..." she whispered in frustration "...I'd have her shot".<br><br>The next day a large row of Leo's stood on display in the center of the Paradeground. The customized Leo's of the Specials were armed and awaited their pilots.<br>These men had formed up a line and awaited the arrival of Treize Kushrenada. The Commander would lead this ceremonial security force in person to oversee the safety and security of all the Alliance participants of the Grand Conference. Lady Une stood before them with an aide. In the background the final preparations were made as technicians did some quick checkups of the suits. The Commander had demanded peak efficiency and the Specials had delivered.<br><br>Rumour was that Zechs had returned recently and had been in a lengthy meeting with Treize. Whatever the ace pilot and the charismatic commander were discussing was unknown. The presence of both men on the same location caused a bit of tension as it indicated something big was going on...

				Jia knew she had infuriated Une, and she was so very glad she had, the woman needed to know she wasn't liked. Not that it mattered though, with the right amount of playing up, she would get in close with Treize. Then she wouldn't have to worry about the vile woman anymore, she could do as she pleased. If she had to lie and cheat to get to a higher position, well all is fair in war, without a doubt.<br><br>As she'd been ordered, she was dressed immaculately for the conference, looking every bit a faithful follower as the next soldier. Different from them though, she had left her long hair down, leaving it to shimmer in the sunlight. She would catch Treize's eye one way or another, and there was no command or rule under him that forbid her to wear her hair down. Quietly, she stood near her Leo unit, her beauty setting her apart from the soldiers, and even some of the guests.<br><br>She wasn't like the rest of them, her hands and skin was still soft, not like a soldier who had been trained by OZ. Rumors had flown of Zechs having had a meeting with Treize, and she was wondering if she would see the man. They had met once before, and she was sure she would never forget the Lightning Count. As it stood, however, she had a job to do with making sure nothing went wrong today. Tensions were running high, having two powerful men in the same place at the same time tended to make people nervous.

				It was then that both Treize and the Zechs appeared on the scene. The charismatic commander and his best friend came to stand before the men.<br>"Soon we will leave here to stand guard... to oversee a momentous occassion" Commander Kushrenada exclaimed.<br>Zechs stood by his side, hands crossed behind his back. As always Zechs wore a silver mask, his long white hair visibly coming from underneath. Where Treize had a white and blue uniform, that of the ace pilot favoured white and red. <br>"However I am explicitly expecting trouble. None of you however will act as if you are aware of this. The same instructions will be followed to the letter" he said. "However..." Treize's gaze went over all of them. For a brief moment his blue eyes fixed Jia. Perhaps it was her imagination but she could almost imagine a tiny smile on his face. "A secondary mission protocol has been uploaded in your suits. It will be activated by a signal only I or Captain Zechs can transmit" he leaned forward with his gloved hands holding the railing before him. "Once this is done, your true mission parameters will become known" he said.<br>"My friend Zechs..." he casually indicated the ace pilot "...will command a seperate strikeforce. However, I shall remain close to you all. Each and every one of you has performed excellently over the years. I have the utmost faith in your abilities. However today those abilities will be tested in ways none of you may have ever considered. Stay calm, stay focussed and do not waver in performing your duties. If the star of the Specials is to rise, we cannot fail today. Because failure would permanently tarnish our reputation and prematurely end all our hopes... all our plans". Now Jia could be sure, there was a tiny mysterious smile on his face. Once more his gaze fell on the asian beauty. "Mount up and prepare to board the transports. The mission begins in exactly three minutes..." Treize said. He saluted "Good luck".

				Her attention turned to the two men as they appeared, standing in front of the group of men she was standing with. A momentous occasion indeed, she could only imagine what he had planned for this meeting. Dark eyes took in Zech's form, he was still as she remembered him from their last encounter with each other. The silver mask was still worn over the top part of his face and head to conceal his true identity from the world. She knew though, she'd seen beneath the mask and the man who was beneath it, Milliardo Peacecraft. <br><br>Treize's eyes landed on her and she tensed up, almost swearing that she saw a bit of a smile cross his lips. So they had a secondary mission objective, that was fine with her, she would complete it perfectly as always. Well, as long as it wasn't against a Gundam, because if it was, she would be killed in a Leo suit. Oh she already knew she was no match for a Gundam while in the inferior suit, even as well as she could pilot one. The last part of that made her lift her eyes back to him again, soon enough she would know what their mission really was all about, then she could report in.<br><br>Lifting her arm, she saluted him along with the other men who were ready to go and fight for their leader. Not that he was really her leader, she knew better than that, she was just following half of his commands. Turning her eyes to Zechs, she gave a slight bow to him and then turned to her Leo unit, pulling on the cord that hung down from it, letting it lift her from the ground. With the cockpit open, she stepped inside and sat down, fingers flying over the instrument panels, closing the cockpit hatch and securing it. <br><br>As he'd said, three minutes later, they were being loaded onto the transports to go wherever it was they would be taken. Sliding her laptop from it's hiding place in her Leo, she opened it and turned it on, quickly connecting through an up-link system. There wasn't time for a full report, but she did send in that they were being transported out of the base to an unknown location. Jia also let them know she would not know what her true mission orders were until later, but it was enough of a heads up for the Gundams, as long as they didn't fly in and kill her too. There was no way to distinguish her unit from the others in a fight, so she would have to let them know some other way if one of them came in to attack.

				The mission was performed with the utmost efficiency. The Leo's were skillfully airdropped, groundtroops formed special squads that took on the duties of reinforcing the security detail already in place. The Leo's were deployed in small squads and some formed a veritable honorguard alone the road leading up to the large conference hall. Jia was part of that line and next to her was the suit of an old grumpy veteran with a large scar across his cheek. The experienced sergeant had been omnipresent during training and she'd seen the old fox floor many of the young and bulky 'whelps'. He had something one had to respect and when he gave orders he did so calmly and with insight born from a mixture of instinct and wisdom. The life had left his eyes though. Rumor had it that ten years ago he'd been involved in some distant conflict which had permanently scarred him. Retirement or a deskjob were looming and only Treize's favor had kept him around. Either path would be torture for the old man...<br>Suddenly his low growling voice came over the intercom. "Jia, Harris, Thompson, François! Activate secure channel 3-4-3" he said "I repeat 3-4-3".<br>"Affirmative sir" came disciplined Harris over the comm.<br>"Yep sarge" came the annoying Thompson.<br>"Ouaip understood!" came François from Luxemburg.<br>Jia could feel it in the air. Something was up as the black limo's under biker escort came driving by...<br>

				Severing the uplink, she closed the laptop and put it back into it's hiding place in her Leo unit for safe keeping. Sometime later they were dropped to the ground, forming small squads and other forming the honor guard along the side of the road that would lead up to the hall where the meeting would be taking place. Jia was in the line of honor guard, waiting to see what her orders would be. The older man in the Leo beside hers was a grouchy one at best, but he was still sharp as could be.<br><br>On more than one occasion, she'd seen him take down the cocky youngsters without even breaking a sweat. The man was good, very good at what he did, which was probably why Treize kept him around still. She focused her attention when he said her name, "Yes sir." Flipping her comm link to the channel he told her to, she waited for the mission parameters to be told to her. Something was going to happen though, she could feel it, and it would be something big, something very big. Just the feeling in the air made her on edge, her hands ready on the controls of her Leo, just in case she had to fight.<br><br>As long a she didn't have to fight a Gundam, she would be ok, meeting one of the five pilots would only result in death. Shaking that thought from her mind, she leaned back in the pilot's chair of her Leo unit, very much wanting to be in the cockpit of the Gundam Storm, more protection and better weapons. It couldn't be helped though, this might be the time when she would be able to convince Treize that she was 'loyal' to him.
