After the Eve Wars & the Marimaea Incident all five of the Gundam Pilots were recruited into the Preventer Organization. Heero chose to hire on as an emergency reserve Preventer and was quickly scouted by several security firms. Duo picked a part-time role within the Preventer which meant a lot of field time and very little paperwork. The remainder of his time was spent in the junkyard with Hilde. Trowa signed on as an emergency reserve Preventer but spent most of his time equally divided between his sister and his lover. Winner Corporation required a lot of guidance to oversee the repair of the colonies and destroyed Earth Sphere cities. Because of this, Quatre only allowed himself to be listed as an emergency reserve Preventer. Wufei was the only one that signed on as a permanent Preventer, happy to work within a larger organization, content to file paperwork and handle all aspects of his cases.
Wufei was settled in the Preventers Main Headquarters within the L3 colony cluster while Quatre had returned to his family's mansion on the Earth Sphere. Heero traveled among the colonies frequently, taking jobs as needed but remaining in motion. Duo was settled in the L1 colony cluster with Hilde, working out of the satellite Preventer office in the area. Trowa toured the colonies with his sister's circus troupe part of the time and stayed on the Earth Sphere the rest of the time. With the Gundam Pilots spread out among the stars it was rare that more than two of them were reunited for a mission. Most often for specialist missions the closest pair of pilots was called in to lead a group of regular Preventer agents. For instance Wufei had worked with Trowa, Quatre and Heero on occasion but never with Duo. In more recent years, Wufei rarely worked with any of his fellow former pilots, mainly sticking to the office and his paperwork.
Duo had just been granted transfer and advancement from part-time to full-time within the Preventer Organization when this story begins.
