I do not own Gundam or MLP. If I did, I would be stinkin rich by now
====================================
General Amuro Ray is the oldest and most stubborn general in the Solar Republic. He was in his late 60s, he had served in the federation in the one year war, tested mobile suits during the the zeon remnet attack on Solomon and the following colony drop, the aeug conflict, and the Grips conflict. He fought in the second Neo Zeon rebellion, and commanded a ship in the Mars Zeon conflict 20 years ago and brokered the peace that formed the republic, a year later he was the one that was assigned to handle the peace talks with the new crossbone pirates colonies. He should have long ago retired, and many of his younger contemporaries wish he had or would. But much to the dismay of them he said "The day I retires is the day Char comes back from the grave to end my life!" To placate him and the government members that see him as a old fossil lost in his past glories.
He was given command of the Saturn deep space mobile suit storage and testing facility. Witch General Ray enjoyed truthfully. The place let him reminisce and he got plenty of starry eyed recruits to tell his stories too after all he crossed paths with many a legendary ace, Char Asnaball the first red comet, Rom Ba'Ral the great blue Star, Gaia, Ortega and Mash the Black try-stars, Shin Matsunaga the white wolf, and Johny Ridden the Crimson Lightning.
Now he sat in the command center of the Starun storage and research base named Patan after a old 20th century General. He watched as the young gun tested the newest models the GM Long Dagger, one last gasp for the old line, the O 2 was a joke in his mind but he liked it over the current Gundam F90 line (marking them smaller makes things worse if we have a war), and the last made him smile the Sazabi 2 was a twin to his rivals last machine, and the second red comet was living up to his name sake.
"General Ray sir!" Said a woman in a Solar Republic dress uniform. The uniforms of the Republic are the old Zeon uniforms in Crossbone colors with the old Federation rank badges. This young woman was a fresh as meat ensign out of the academy her name tag read Wiliams. The young blond had blue eyes and her country girl build in that uniform made the old general wish he was 40 years younger.
"Yes what is it miss?" Asked Amuro.
"Ensign Megan Wiliams sir. Here with that inventory report you ordered 2 weeks ago. Sir!" Answered Megan with a crisp salute.
Amuro rolled his eyes, "Cut the sir shit Megan. I maybe the oldest solder in the ranks, but I'm still the best new type there is and can still out fly half the aces in the Republic. So call me Amuro or general Ray but never call me sir."
He took the data pad from the young woman as many of the command center staff snickered at the bases traditional send the rookie to press the sir button on the general. And it still never gets old.
Amuro looked over the list then spoke "I want all available Mobile Suits on stand by. If it can fight I want it armed and ready to deploy instantly!" The command center staff stares at him in shock.
But Megan gave voice to all there thoughts. "Wh..... why?"
Amuro smiled "Cause mobile suit test always have problems. The better they go the bigger the problem will be."
"General! The test pilots reporting 3 unknown mobile suits, all have a V crest!" Shouted a operator to their left.
Amuro slid back in his chair and said "See, like clock work. Get me a visual."
"On main monitor General." The screen flashed on and showed the 3 mobile suits... no 3 gundams! The lead was mostly blue with red came lenses, the V-crest was in a rainbow of pattern, and it had rainbow pinstripes on the chest and the helmet, the shield was larger and thicker then any he seen on the center was a 3 colored lightning bolt coming from a cloud. (To gundam fans the Zepher Storm is the GP01 Full Vernian with the shield, sword and thrusters of the wing zero, and its main gun, witch dash left float in in the hanger, is a 90mm beam machine gun that looks like the Zaku 90mm)
To the blue ones left was a pink gundam it was pink slight boxy and had bright blue eyes with a smile painted on the mask and 3 balloons on the both sides of its helmet, 2 yellow one blue, it's legs had skirting below the knee, on its back was what looked like a 108mm cannon blue and yellow with pink trim, both arms had what looked like a flip out heat bladed. (Pinkies Firecracker is the heavy arms custom with the lower legs of a Dom and 2 of the classic heavy arms arm blade the gun is custom version of a heavy cannon that ground combat gundams used.)
The last machine was orange colored with green eyes, it had rounded shoulders with 4 holes in it, the body seemed to be reinforced with 3 red apples on the left side of its chest plate, it's v crest was gold color that matched what looked like a pony tail of hair coming of the back the of the head? Witch also had been painted to look like it had a sestan hat on, it's legs looked more female in shape then most and it had 3 holes in each knee. (Gundam fans reveal AJ's Farm Girl gundam is cqb monster the EZ-8 gundam chest and skirt, with the head arms and legs of the Nobel gundam, the shoulders and weapons of the AGE Tidus the beam spikes in shoulders and knees and the beam ring one wrist, it also has heat fist of the shining, and beam emitters in the heal and toe of the feat. Also the Nobel's beam ribbon converted in to a lasso.)
Amuro Ray looked at the feed from the camera as the pink gundam readied it cannon, the Orange one seemed to explode with green beam blades and its fists light up the same color, and the lead suit pull a beam saber from it shoulder rack and thick red blade extended from its hilt. These gundams moved deferentially then any he has ever seen. Then it hit him they are not coming from the directions of earth... He looked at the inferred imaging and his eyes widen, the heat sources of the suits where wrong. It was clear they aren't dolls like the zombie Zakus in the one year war, but the pilots where clearly not humans.
"Get everything we got out there now! They launched from ship past our deep space line and the heat reading them as nonhuman! We are under attack by alien Gundams!" Shouted Amuro.
The ensign was already running by the time he finished the order as sirens blared and red lights flashed. And a female operations officers voice came over the com. "All pilots code red, unknown gundam type mobile suits are engaging the prototypes, man all available Mobile Suits and prepare for launch, be advised there maybe a enemy capital ship on approach from deep space vector. I repeat..."
======================================
Launch bay of the Star Wondering
Three mobile suits stood on the launch catapult. These are mobile suits of the elite Skull team. Equestria's top three mobile suit operators/pilots. Neither is a accurate title as unlike their human counterpart equestrian mobile suits don't have controls. The mobile suits are made of a magic metal that bonds with a pilot it excerpts. They start as a simple sphere and then when they accept a pilot they take a shape based on the pilots soul. They have a basic intelligence while in there starting form, but after accepting a pilot, be it Pony, Diamond Dog, Dragon, Minotaur,or Griffin. The suit bonds with its pilot learning from them. This also creates the flight suits they wear.
The Skull team suits are unique even among equestrian mobile suits. All three are what's been termed mono-eyed. A feature that has, more then once, made other creatures physically ill, at the sight of the mane camera/eye slide in the head one way as it turns the other.
The center and lead suit of the team has black head with red face and gold eye's, the arms are shield black, the chest and skirt are black with a red stripe down the center and it has red legs. The face has short snout with two tubes coming of the front and goes back under the helmet, the helmet has a silver v crest and a fin like ridge on it. The head mounted a pair of beam vulcans, the chest was contoured to look like neighponese (Chinese) armor, the shield had a white dragon skull and crossbones on it (from witch the team gets their name), it also mounted a 75mm gatling beam gun, on its hip was a heat blade sword. The suits right arm had a weapon called the dragon fangs, witch turns the right arm in to a dragon head and neck, witch also mounts a pair of high temperature flame throwers, the dragon's eyes are yellow like the heads. (Gunpla info the Dark Moon is based on a Gouf flight type with gatling shield, the helmet, chest, right arm and the shoulders are that of the shenlong)
This intimidating and some would say evil looking suit belonged to Ace Crimson Moon, as indicated by his cutiemark, a Ace of hearts card, with a face image is a sword and gatling gun crossed over a red crescent moon with a red heart in the upper left and lower right corners with a white A in them, on the front left shoulder. Ace him self got his cutiemark late in life when he first bonded with the Darkmoon. He wears a black jacket with the same dragon skull and crossbones on its back, when not wearing his black flight suit witch all so has the same dragon skull and crossbones across the chest. He is a few inches shorter then the average mare, making him on the smaller side as stallions go. His furr is dark red and mane and tail are silver, his eyes are a bright gold.
To the right of the Darkmoon is Skull 2 the Showstopper, piloted by Trixie Lulamoon, it's arms, chest, legs and face are a soft light blue, with its mono eye a deep purple, in its chest are 4 heavy magic beam cannons, on the back is a bat like set of wings that rap around like a cloak, this and the helmet shared the color and patterns of Trixie's hat and cape the V crest is sliver like Trixie's mane. Her suits "cloak" has a built in sensor jamers, and a optical cloak witch lets the suit vanish from sight and sensors. Inside the cloaks wings are 30 funnels small detachable beam guns Trixie can control with her magic. Her suits main armaments is a hand carried (purple bladed) beam scythe and the standard beam vulcans in the head. (The gunpla kit for fans... Yeah I'll do this a lot... Trixie's Showstopper is the Deathscythe Hell Cutome for most of the suit, the legs, chest, and face are off the Kshatriya) Trixie's cutiemark was vary large on the back of the cloak. Trixie's flight suit has the same pattern as her cape and hat.
The last machine was Skull 3 Black Magic the suit of Sunset Shimmer. The suit was mostly pail yellow, with black arms, and feathery wings, the head's helmet was red and gold liked her mane, with a yellow face with the eye light green, the chest is black with a Paulo yellow stripe and here cutie mark in the center. The pair of back center wings are powerful thrusters, the other pair of wings is a pair of armored shields that also house feather bits/funnels 8 of these feathers detach and act as remote attack beam sabers/beam guns. The suits chest has a raised T like shape and the face looks beak like, the mane weapon is a extremely powerful twin beam rifle that can split in to two beam rifles. (And now the gunpla info the Black magic has the face, legs, ams and torso of the Jagd Dogs, the wings, helmet, shoulders and gun of wing zero custom. The feather bits/funnels are original.) Sunset Shimmer wears a leather jacket when not suited up, both it and her flight suit are black.
In the ready room near by.
Ace punched his locker shut, "BUCKING idiots! Why feather did they just climb in and take off?! And that rainbow maned fool left her bucking beam gun behind!" Shouted Ace as he put on his helmet.
Trixie chuckled and said "Well they are green as grass rookies to mobile suits." As she zips up her suit.
Sunset checked her helmet seals as she added, "And they are members of the council of harmony to princess Twilight Sparkle."
Ace snorted "You mean the foal that Sunny but raised to be a princess? That ain't going to save them or her from me yelling there ears off after we save those threes flanks!"
Ace and his wing ponies Sunset and Trixie start out to the hanger as soon as the they where in the eye sight of there suits the suits eyes lit up. Ace called out to the mobile suits, "Have a good rest you three? Open up Darkmoon we got some foalish rookies to babysit and some new enemies to school." The Darkmoon eye flashed repeatedly in excitement as the chest opened.
Trixie smiled "Showstopper it's time to show the whole universe how great and powerful we are!" Called Trixie to hers witch opened its hatch as its eye moved from its mistress to the catapult path.
Sunset rolled her eyes. "Black Magic lets go. Princess magic her self is watching." The eye of the Black Magic glowed with what could only be called glee.
The pilots entered the cockpit of there suits. The hatches closed then the chamber filled with fluid. Then the pilots vision went black before it became the view of the what there suits see. Their bodies float sadly with cords attached to them from the flight suits to the mobile suit's cockpit. The hands flex the eyes shift And shoulders rotate and wings and thrusters twitch and heat up. The Darkmoon reached out as the arm extends and the hand grabs Rainbow Dash's beam machine gun.
Then Twilight's voice broke in to Skull team's ears. "Hello? Can you hear me? This is Twilight Sparkle."
Ace sighed and opened the bridge channel in his mind. "Yes miss princess let my friends steal several million bit war machines to play with."
On the Star Wondering's bridge Twilight was taken aback by the harsh and scolding sarcasm coming over the radio. In the background Rarity was ranting about the alleged top mobile suit guards complete lack of respect to a princess.
Twilight regained her focuses. "Where you and your team properly briefed?" She asked.
There came a heavy sigh over the radio "Yeah sparky we know the mission. Meet up with Harmony team, capture a mostly intact enemy suit and a live enemy pilot if possible, then read you and your three friends the riot act about mobile suit safety and laws on theft of royal guard equipment!" The last part was shouted loud enough that the whole bridge crew laid there ears back and Fluttershy hid underneath Rarity.
"Well he has some nerve to yell like that a princess." Said Rarity.
Ace must have heard her. "Listen here you prissy mare, my oath is first to the safety of equestria, then to Luna! You want my respect do something worthy of it! Skull team launching!" With that the channel cut out.
Twilight looked at Dr. Stargaser and asked. "Are you sure his team is the best?"
The mare nodded. "Though abrasive when in a bad mood and vocal of his dislike of Celestia. He is both the best mobile suit operator and the head of all mobile suit teams. In sort captain Crimson Moon is the head of the ship's guard force and as mach as he hates it. While your on this ship he is your guard Captian and is responsible for yours and your courts safety."
Twilight gulped "OH! I see..."
======================================
Space testing field battle human side
The Sazabi 2 dogged another wide swing from the charging high speed suit, before firing another volley of beam fire from his gun and bits. The enemy first tried to attack a single suit at as a group, but after the third time of Alexander and Hansel interrupting them the blue suits wingmen split off after them.
Alexander in the O2, was having his hands full with the pink armory on turbo, it seems to move at will and has a seemingly limitless ameo supply. The rain of beam fire and missiles with what seem to be beam warheads where starting to eat at the heavy armored monster the Russian flew.
Hansel was in worse shape, his GM Long Dagger was a mid to long range support suit and while it had a beam saber it was barely holding back a machine that was clearly built to fight close up. And when it drew that beam whip/lasso thing it really started to put on the pressure. It had all ready destroyed the Long Dagger's hand carried beam rifle.
Chris lost 2 funnels to the high speed slashing attacks. "Damn this fucker is to fast it's like trying to shoot down the wind!"
"Ya! The cowboy I'm fighting iz not letting me get any diztance!" Shouted Hansel as he used his beam saber to throw back another knee strike only to lose half the left foot to beam heal.
The 02 was getting it worse but thanks to its armor it was ok for now. "The pink suki won't hold still. How can it have so much more and be so nimble!" As he says this it pinkie's Firecracker dodges his attack by vaulting over the O2 with a split and one hand on its head. "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrr! It's playing with me!"
====================================
Patton base CCC
Amuro watched the battle... he didn't like what he saw. "Their machines out match ours at every turn, the only reason our men aren't dead is the enemy are rookies and they are trying to capture our suits." Said the General out load.
The staff stopped and looked at him in shock. Then one spoke "Your saying that those pilots are not best the enemy could send?"
"No. In all likely hood there just fresh out of there academy or they ran in to out test team while on a training flight. That means that not only are we facing a enemy that can mass-produce Gundams superior to our mass production units but... There is a chance that they are from outside our solar system and have a unknown number of gundams. And possibly veteran aces waiting to be de-" Amuro's eyes went wide. "This feeling...." He pressed the com button and shouted "12:00 high! Move! Enemy new types!"
On the screen the enemy suits broke there attack right before a storm of yellow, purple and green beams rained down at the the test team. They barely escaped the storm of beam fire. The O2 took several hits making its left arm useless. Over the com's the test teams voices where heard cussing in there native languages.
Chris called in "Thanks General if we live through this I owe you a drink."
Amuro watched as 3 mono eye machines with V crests. His pulse ran cold the black and red ones eye looked right at the data recording camera. He looked in it and felt fear grip his spine. "I knew one day a ghost would come for me. I always thought it be Char's. Not Rom Ba'Ral's....." He thought to him self then he heard the voice the voice of his old foe. "This is no Zaku boy! No Zaku!" Amuro gulped as he watched the eye turn the blue suit and hand of a machine gun then draw its sword.
"Launch all mobile suits that are ready any that aren't will deploy instantly to defend the base. And get me that Mark 2 ready for me I'll lead the defense team. Those that launch now will meet up with test team and then all suits are to pull back, in a fighting withdrawn." Ordered General Ray. Snapping the commend team out of their shock.
===================================
Saturn testing field battle pony side
"Next time take your primary weapon with you!" Shouted Ace as he handed the beam machine gun to Rainbow Dash
"How was I suppose to know we run in to alien mobile suits? Or that was a range weapon?" Replied Rainbow Dash
"Just be thankful that suit is as good at its job as you are at boasting. When we get back all 3 of you are going to get my version of guard training Tarturs week. And bet that you are going to be sweating your flanks off for the next week!" The Darkmoon's eye flaird, as he shouted. The suits eye turned to the enemy. "Applejack, your Harmony 2 your with Skull 2!"
"You heard the Captain hay seed. Your my wing pony." Said Trixie
"What in tarntion?! Trixie?!" Shouted Applejack
"That's Lt. Trixie Lulamoon, miss honesty." Said Trixie with pride as her suits beam scythe activated and its wings closed.
The Darkmoon's eye shifted to pinkie's suit "Pinkie your Harmony 3, your with Ltjg. Sunset Shimmer Skull 3."
"Okie dokie Loki." Said Pinkie as she took her place next to Sunset.
"Good now Team 2 your target is the support one Applejack was fighting, Team 3 hit the heavy. Rainbow your Harmony lead and with me, our target is the red one. You have your targets remember our objective is to capture at lest one mostly intact. Now time to show them how to really fight!" Ordered Ace.
"Right!" Shouted the others before they split off to the attack.
================================
Star Wondering bridge.
Twilight watched in amazement, she watched skull team move and launch a joint attack aiming only at points that would disable the enemy. "You werant kidding about his skill, or that the suits help the pilots fight. I hope I can get a closer look later. Both ours and their's."
"Yes I'll allow you to study the suits we capture and to speak with the pilot first. After all you are the princess." Said Dr Stargazer.
Twilight smiled. "Thank you."
=========================
Space Saturn battle.
The test team was in big trouble. The three new suits where nothing like the first three. And it made it clear that the first 3 where rookies that don't fully understand there suits. The new three on the other hand are inimitably familiar with there machines. And they are willing to go all out....
Chris was frustrated the blue suit was a pest on its own with out a gun... now he had lost his remaining bits and was barely holding the defense. The blue suit was rush in sparing its red beam shouts at high speed. Then the black and red one comes in from below or above or even behind right when the blue one passes and try to to land sword strikes. The first few times Chris dodged it and was peppered by its beam gatling, then on the fourth pass it got his rifle with a scary new trick. Right after a slash he dodged the suits arm extended and slashed again at twice the suits reach catching Chris's suits beam rifle forcing him to toss it before it exploded.
He was now down to his beam sabers shield and the torso mounted beam spray.
"This is bull shit we where holding of rookies one moment, now we got fucking pros and the rookies on us." Chris shouted as he blocked blade to blade before jetting back to avoid another rain of red death from the blue suit.
"Thiz zhit is ridiculez! I got two zuitz that want to play Dungenz und Dragonz whit mobile zuitz." Complained Hansel as he tried to target the bat winged suit again only for his targeting to go fuzzy and the error message to pop up again. "And that fucking bat iz jamming my targeting!" Then he dodged another swipe from that bat suits scythe. He then turned and watched its wing closed and whole suit vanished. "What the hell!? It can vaizh to?" Then the proximity alarm remained him about the other suit letting him duck in time to nearly dodge a double heal kick from the cowboy suit as he called it. As the suit passed it made a tipping the hat gesture. "Now the rookie iz mocking me!" Then the rear alarm went of again. He looked over his shoulder just in time to see the bat suit appear out of no where and take off his suits shoulder gun and main camera. "Ahhhhhhhhh! They blinded my zuitz!"
Trixie smiled "Now hay seed! Show this headless wounder your skill with a rope!" Shouted Trixie
"The names Applejack." deadpaned AJ as she used her beam rope to lasso the blinded suit. "Got ya now varmit!" She shouted in glee.
Chris saw this and shouted out. "Hansel it looks like the general was write there trying to steal the prototypes the got your suit wrapped up in that beam rope!"
"I know can't move or zee tho! I need help!" Shouted Hansel.
"Don't worry I'm coming comrade!" Shouted Alexander as his O2 rushed toward his trapped team mate. His suit was dented scared and sparked badly from the pounding the black winged suit and pink suit was giving it. The O2 threw his rifle and uses it's only right arm to pull out a beam saber, the front skirt opened up two mechanical arms and also hold two more beam sabers. He was now rushing head long at the back of Applejack's suit. Ignoring the spray of beam shots from Pinkie's suit.
"Sunset! Trixie! That big one is targeting Applejack take it out!" Shouted Ace.
"Right!" Shouted the two mares.
Sunset jetted past the O2 as Trixie decloaked. In its path next to her suit and opened the wings of hers. Then both of the fired there heavy guns. From the Showstopper came 4 large beams purple magic. As the black magic combined its two rifles in to one and fired a large light green beam. Both beams hit the O2 and it just disintegrated under the power with a purple flash as it and it's pilot died.
"No Alexander!" shouted Chris.
In his suit Hansel heard Chris cry out. He knew what just happened "Chriz mine friend. I'll tell Alexander to save a zeat at the bar for you. Juzt don't join uz too zoon OK?"
Chris look at Hansel on the mini screen "What do you mean by that?!" Chris shouted as he saw Hansel punching buttons in his suit.
"I won't let them get what they want Chriz. I'll tell Alexander you zaid hi." Then Hansel hit the finale button and his suit blew up in a bright flash. The pilot of the Sazabi 2 saw in horror to see his friend went out went out with a bang, Hansel is serious, but he didn't think he could do it?
"What in tarntion!? Shouted Applejack as her suit tumbled backward from the blast and its beam rope going limp.
Ace and Rainbow stopped to look as did there enemy.
"So he chose death instead of capture. You have to respect the conviction to do that." His suit saluted the debry that was once a mobile suit.
The mono eye of the Sazabi 2 shifted to the from the wreckage to Ace's Darkmoon, as its own move to meet it. The other suits encircled the last one.
"AJ you ok your pretty close to that when it blew." Asked Rainbow as her suits head turned to AJ's suit in the circle.
"I'm fine Dash. Just shocked the fella would do that." Answered AJ as her suit waved airs free hand.
Ace broke the salute and sheathed his sword before letting his right arm show its true form. The Dragon arm.
"Base this is Chris eta on that back up?" Asked a vary nervous Chris as he looked at the 6 gundams starring him down.
A voice answered it was General Ray himself. "There are 45 mixed units in rout hold out 120 seconds."
"Sir I don't have 3" said Chris right before he dodged a low aim burst of automatic beam faire from 3 suits.
The chase was now on and Chris was losing ground fast he lost his beam saber to a deadlock with Trixie that cost him a piece of his shoulder his second one was lost with his suits right hand to a shoulder tackle from Applejack. His shield and left shattered under a rain of beams he tried to use hold them back with his beam spray in the torso but the dragon arm literally tore that option from him. His suit was broken sparking and unarmed he did all he could do. He ejected the escape pod. The head popped open and the pod shot off. Ace and Rainbow where after it like a shot.
"Don't let the pilot escape!" Shouted Ace.
"No one out runs The Dash!" Shouted Rainbow.
Then there pursuit was cut off by weapons fire as dozens of new enemies entered the battle.
"Horse apples ok forget the pilot! Fighting withdrawal! Let's take what's left of the red suit and leave!" Ordered Ace
Just then a gutsy enemy rushed past (a Geara Doga unit) Ace and Rainbow. And fired 4 rockets at the disabled sazabi 2 blowing it up from their grasp. "Yes your not getting any prototypes to day." Shouted Megan with pride
Ace streaks past and stopped in front of Megan's suit filling her view with its eye glowing brightly then it happened the dragon arm shot out and closed around the her suits chest it's fangs cutting in to its armor like butter... "Shit I'm going to die in my first battle!" Megan thought to herself. As the screens cracked and went dead then the crushing stopped. She felt her suit move. She tried the controls but nothing worked she was spam in a can... "Why am I not dead? Cause they aren't after the suits but the pilots!" Megan hoped a start shot from her comrades would eat her save her or end her.
Ace sighed holding the suit in his Dragon arms jaws. "Trixie, Sunset, Pinkie! Hit them hard then we all fall back sweep them from Luna's stars we got what we need." Said Ace.
The 3 pony suits nodded as they dodged wild and poorly aimed shots before unloading on the enemy force Trixie and Sunset fired there feather and funnel bits as well as there heavy beam weapons as Pinkie unloaded her magic missiles and chest mounted beam gatling head mounted Vulcan guns and her heavy beam cannon at the enemy after a few seconds of firing the large crowd of mobile suits was devastated and the survives where running or carrying away those that couldn't move but where still alive.
The 6 equestrian suits fell in to formation and withdrew with the lead suit carrying the prize.
=============================================
Patton base hanger
Amuro watched the young commander climb out of the escape pod.
Chris looked left then right before floating over to the general, saluting and holding out a disk.
"General Ray. This is all my data from the battle." Chris said in a respectful tone, but in his hear is filled with heavy grief from the death of his two best friends.
Amuro set one hand on Chris's shoulder as he took the disk and spoke. "You and your friends did more then we could ask of you under the circumstances. I'm ordering the base abandoned. Gather theirs and your things. Your leaving with me."
"Yes General Ray." Said Chris before he floated away, tears could no longer hold as they float in the non-gravity.
