I'm sending you to our Southeast Asia base next week. You're going to act as an overseer on a project there and you're to report directly to me but you'll have to observe Commander Sahalin's authority as a professional curiosity. The Commander's words going through her mind as Cynthia disembarked the Vulture transport; an ironic name considering that the front of the transport had a red stylized snake head. Dressed in her Crimson Guardsman uniform carrying her briefcase she was greeted by a common Techno Viper. "Lt. Hansen."
"Where Commander Sahalin?" Cynthia asked, being the Commander's aide, it was matter protocol that she would be greeted by the senior commander since she was an emissary of Cobra Commander.
"He's overseeing the excavation of the Genyen Massif for the project."
"Genyen Massif, isn't that some holy mountain site in Tibetan Buddhism or some cockamamie bullshit like that? We won't have any problems the Chinese?" Cynthia asked, since Tibet had been subject of more or less intense depending on who you ask either someone with sympathies to the Chinese government or some burned out hippie stoner with a "free Tibet" sticker on their car. But to Cynthia she couldn't care less for the matter, she found Buddhism to be the biggest bunch of bullshit next to that wacky "religion" that believes in the dinosaurs were killed off by aliens flying DC-10s dropping hydrogen bombs and throw in an intergalactic space monkey to boot.
"No. Lt., the administrators of the Sichuan area are as about corrupt as they come, we won't any troubles the Chinese. Nothing that drugs, money and hookers won't solve." The Techno Viper answered as he escorted the Commander's aide to waiting chopper. "We've been using the new Acg mobile suits to great effect during construction."
"Mobile Suits?" Cynthia asked as the two headed for awaiting chopper.
"Yeah that's something the boys in R&D came up with. They were built in Solomon when we got ahold of Granin's research and the test data from the prototype mega cannon."
"I'm aware of both sets of data." Cynthia dismissed since she was an active participant of the events at Groznyj Grad. She still felt the anger when that GI Joe operative stabbed her commander in the shoulder with an epee. She continued to listen to the Techno Viper about how revolutionary Granin's work was; Cynthia read it, looked like a pipe dream, but Cobra did excel in breakthroughs or improvements upon pipe dreams and actually made them work with great effect.
"Lt. What Commander Sahalin has in on the drawing board, the best is yet to come. Project: Apsalus."
Flying over the construction site, Cynthia got a look from the air of the EMS-08 Acg. It had a bulbous head/torso with two drills attached to the arms and rock cutters in the shoulders cutting into mountains while other Acgs were using the laser torch underneath the mono-eye sensor to cut through the earth, carving trenches and creating earthworks for defensive fortifications. "I'll talk to the Commander about any resources and funding Commander Sahalin might need."
"He'll meet with upon arrival and he would have a list."
"No doubt, but the Commander will expect results." Cynthia echoed the Commander's words; while he did not trust Sahalin, a sentiment shared by Scarp-Iron and Lt. Col Kycilia Zabi kept him on a tight leash back on Cobra Island. But the Commander was impressed enough by his proposal utilizing both the mega particle cannon test data and Shakoor's research that he authorized the project but ordered his aide to keep an eye on him and with orders, if necessary, to terminate Ginias if she suspects anything; but she was only to observe and report back for now.
