A.C. 197

"Heero Yuy's death has been avenged—the Alliance is toppled, OZ is disbanded, the Romefeller Foundation has fallen…"

"And in their place, a world nation has been established!" the voice on the other end of the line roared. "The colonies are no freer of terrestrial control than they were at the start of our campaign! Mark my words, J., this "Earth Sphere Unified Nation" is nothing more than the Alliance with a different face."

"But peace…" the battered scientist tried to protest.

"A hollow peace, so long as the Earth has such influence over the colonies. As much as I disagree with his ideals, Dekim Barton's attack on the Earth was slouching in the right direction."

J. sighed and slumped in his chair. "What would you have me do?"

"Activate the girl. Send her after the old suits."

"But no one knows for sure what happened to them."

"Treize did. His facility beneath the palace in Prague contains the research he conducted as well as the facilities he used to rebuild the Epyon. I will send you information on how to gain access to the underground rooms."

"As you wish, D.," J. said with another sigh. Twenty-two years. That was too long to fight the same fight. He was getting too old for this. Had too many mechanical parts for this. But, did he have a choice? No. He had sworn his life to this cause, and, so long as he lived—so long as she allowed him to live—he would serve her as he promised…

He really hadn't expect to live this long.
