Spice: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the first actual chapter of Gundam Build Divers: Celestial Assault! So, last time, the ATX Team accepted a proposal to alpha test a new game mode in GBN, only for something to go wrong in transit, and the five-strong Force is now lost, Force Nest and all. Let's find out what happened to them, shall we?

— GBN: server transfer tunnel, the Arkbird —

Minerva watched as her Force's Arkbird passed through the gate into the ever-familiar data tunnel that one always experienced when going from one server to another in GBN. Wordlessly, she looked to Ciel, who was at the helm, hands on the control wheel. "How is our heading?"

"Everything's smooth sailing so far, boss!" Ciel cheers.

"So far, our bet's looking like a good one," Blaze comments from the XO chair. He turns in his seat to look at Minerva as she turns her attention to him. "Still, like Game Master said, this is a completely untested system. We'd best be ready for something to go wrong."

Minerva nods grimly as she returns her attention to the viewport. "Agreed. Luck smiles upon us now, but she is a fickle and cruel mistress, especially in circumstances like these."

For the following half a minute, the trip continues smoothly, but then the ship starts to rock and tremble a little. Ciel, thankfully, is quick to stabilize the ship and keep her heading steady. The fact she had to use the wheel at all, though, draws Minerva's attention. "Problem, Ciel?"

"Just a little turbulence, boss," she reports cheerfully. "Nothing I can't handle."

That brought the others up short before Blaze mechanically turned his head to his fellow B-Rank Diver. "Ciel… transfer routes aren't supposed to have turbulence of any kind," he explains slowly. "The fact that there is turbulence is a bad sign."

Quickly Minerva looks to Flügel. "What is the status of the transfer route?!"

Sensing the urgency in his leader's tone, Flügel shakes himself from his stupor and quickly takes the sensor station before looking to Minerva. "The transfer route is deteriorating, and fast!"

"A quick look out the window could tell you that," Ciel reports grimly as she continues to stabilize the ship as the turbulence grows progressively worse. True enough, the other ATX Team members look out the main view port to see the data tunnel becoming corrupted at a good clip. Various parts of the tunnel turn a shining white, clearly attempts by Administration to stabilize the tunnel, but these sections are soon overwhelmed by the red corruption.

"We should probably strap ourselves in," Aria suggests, and those in a chair are quick to follow through on her suggestion. The only reason Ciel doesn't is that the helm station wasn't equipped with one, so the team's resident interceptor settled for bracing herself against her station, even as she continued working to keep the Arkbird level.

"What is the status of the transfer route's corruption?" Minerva asks once she makes sure everyone who can strap in has done so, and gotten Ciel's reassurance that she'll be fine as she continued to fight against the ever-increasing turbulence rocking the Arkbird as the data tunnel continued to crumble around them.

"Transfer route integrity at 57% and dropping," Flügel reports as he continues to monitor both their progress and that of the corruption. "Administration's clearly trying to keep it from dropping below a certain threshold, but everything they're doing seems to only stall the corruption for the briefest of moments."

Minerva nods as she looks to Ciel. "Any chance we can turn the ship around and abort the transfer?"

Ciel shakes her had grimly. "Sorry, Boss, but we're too far along for that," she replies. "Besides, with how shaky the tunnel is making things, I'm not sure I can keep us level if we try."

Minerva nods as she looks around the bridge, aside from Ciel, who was devoting all of her energy to keeping the Arkbird steady, everyone was looking to their leader with looks of recognition. They weren't going to make it through the tunnel before the Administration could keep the corruption from reaching whatever critical threshold existed.

With a sigh, Minerva lowers her head before looking up, watching as the data tunnel began to literally crumble around them. "Everyone. Whatever happens now, know that it has been an honor, to have you all stand at my side as a Force."

"Same here, Boss," Blaze replies with a small, sad smirk before the lightshow started swallowing the ship as the turbulence became overwhelming. By the time Administration was finally able to stop the deterioration, the ATX Team had already vanished off the face of GBN.

— Unknown location —

Minerva groaned as she fought her aching body back to consciousness. "Where are we?" she asks through gritted teeth as she looks around. Blaze, Aria, Flügel, and Ciel were all passed out, the former three still mercifully strapped to their station chairs. Ciel, however, was sprawled out across the floor, a consequence of her station not having a chair for her to strap into. "Ciel!" Unstrapping from her chair, Minerva made her way to Ciel, thankful GBN's VR included microgravity in space environments, so she had no problem moving in the ship. The fact there was microgravity meant that they had come out in a space environment, but the fact that she had to fight her body into waking up, as well as an aching soreness and fierce headache, were setting off alarm bells in her head that she really hoped were false alarms.

Still, her Force came first in this situation. Reaching the Arkbird's standing helmswoman, Minerva put a hand on Ciel's shoulder and gently shook her into waking up. "Ouchie…" Ciel groans as she is roused back to consciousness. "What hit me… Boss? What happened? Where are we?"

"I do not know," Minerva admits before looking to the others. "For now, help me in waking the others. We must figure out what happened after that light consumed our Force."

"R…right…" Ciel moans softly as she slowly gets her bearings and makes her way over to Flügel while Minerva went to Blaze and Aria.

Once the five members of the ATX Team were awake and getting over their pains and headaches from whatever had happened, everyone was unstrapped and gathered around the tactical display table on the bridge. "So, here's what we know," Minerva says, calling the ad-lib meeting to order. "As we passed through the data tunnel on our way to the alpha test, something went wrong and corrupted the transit route. It can be assumed, given the aches we all are in the process of getting over, that whatever happened made our previously digital bodies into physical ones."

"Right; I've gone over the ship's status," Blaze nods, adding in his piece to the ATX Team's overall situation. "Where we didn't need to worry about munitions back in GBN, we do now. Just like how our avatars are physical bodies now, so too are our ship and machines. Ammunition and fuel won't simply respawn as its used anymore. It's fortunate that we'd given the ship a Voiture Lumiere system, otherwise, we'd be dead in the water, so to speak, once we ran out of fuel for the main engines."

"I've been going over the ship's positioning," Flügel reports. "Based on visual and sensory data, we're in a small cluster of resource satellites situated at Lagrange Point 4. Assuming the abnormality that brought us here did nothing to the date and timeline of our destination, we should be in the year 2306 AD, one year before the beginning of the events of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Without access to a computer network to synch our ship's chronometer to, however, that's purely guess work."

"Well, if we are when we think we are, then there should be hidden Celestial Being outposts at every Lagrange Point," Aria comments. "If we can come to some sort of agreement with them, maybe we can have a place to rest while we think of a way home?"

Ciel goes to add to the conversation, but movement outside the main view port draws her attention. "Uh… guys? Look out the window," Ciel says, pointing at the movement. The ATX Team members all look out into space to see four streams of green particles come from one of the asteroids and begin making their way towards the Arkbird.

The group is silent for a moment before Blaze speaks up. "Well, looks like we may have to fight before we can talk to 'em."

"Get to your machines," Minerva orders. As one the Force nods and head out of the bridge, setting the automated systems to launch their Mobile Suits before putting the entire ship into standby mode before they do so.

— Minutes prior, Celestial Being resource outpost operations center —

Sumeragi Lee Noriega, Tactical Forecaster of Celestial Being, couldn't help but gape at the sight of the ship that had just entered the resource outpost's defense perimeter. One moment, the space was completely clear of anything but asteroids, and the next thing anyone knew, there was a ship that didn't match anything on file sitting a few kilometers out from the hidden base.

The ship looked like someone took one of those old space shuttles from the pre-Solar Wars era, supersized it, and then decked it out for military service. She could tell it was some sort of battleship because of the giant blade sticking out past the nose of the craft, and she recognized the closed gun ports on either side of the actual nose of the craft. Her initial assumption was that they'd been found out early and that the ship was there to destroy the outpost, but contrary to her belief, the ship was just… sitting there, as if it was dead in space.

"What do you want to do, Miss Sumeragi?" Feldt Grace, one of the bridge bunnies of Celestial Being's soon-to-be-completed mobile carrier, the Ptolemaios, asks as she looks to the woman.

"Has the ship powered up any weapons?"

"No ma'am, but scans of the ship's interior reveal it to be powered by some unidentified form of Nuclear Fusion Reactor," Feldt reports. "That shouldn't be possible, however. I thought nuclear power had been banned over a century ago?"

"That's what I thought too," Sumeragi replies, tapping her chin in thought, before glancing up at the image of the ship. "Either these guys have been living under a rock for the past 100+ years, or they're a shadow organization like us; one that continued to develop nuclear engines in defiance of the ban, at that."

"Do you think it could be another branch of Celestial Being? One that was kept secret until they were ready for deployment?"

"While that's certainly a possibility, I don't feel like taking too many chances right now. Scramble the Gundam Meisters, but tell them not to engage until we know for certain what the situation is. We simply don't know enough about what's going on right now to make any sort of clear judgement call."

"Yes ma'am," Feldt replies with a nod before turning back to her console. "All Gundam Meisters, scramble and establish a defensive line around the outpost. An unidentified craft has suddenly appeared within the defense perimeter. Establish the line and then standby for further orders. I repeat…"

— Celestial Being Mobile Suit hangar —

Lockon Stratos, Gundam Meister of Celestial Being's sniper unit, Dynames, scrambled into his flight suit as his fellow Meisters did the same. "Come on, people, let's double time it!"

"An unidentified craft sudden appears on sensors within the defense perimeter, and our orders are not to engage and destroy the intruder?" Tieria Erde, Gundam Meister of the team's heavy weapons Mobile Suit, Virtue, fumes as he latches on his helmet.

"I don't get it either, Tieria, but those are our orders," Lockon reminds. "We'll establish our positions, and then wait while Sumeragi and the others try to figure out what the hell's going on." He then looks to the newest, and youngest, of the Gundam Meisters. "You hear that, Setsuna? No running off on your own this time; this isn't a simulation. Breaking formation this time could actually result in someone getting killed, you understand me?"

Setsuna F Seiei, Gundam Meister of Celestial Being's anti-Gundam trump card: the close combat unit Exia, simply nods and he latches on the helmet of his own flight suit. "Roger," he acknowledges dryly.

"Do we know anything about the ship's capabilities?" Allelujah Haptism, Gundam Meister of the transformable, high-mobility unit Kyrios, asks as he finishes sealing his own flight suit.

"No data confirmed! No data confirmed!" Lockon's partner, an orange Haro, chirps as its "ear flaps" move up and down.

"Like Haro said, nothing's certain as of yet," Lockon adds. "Sumeragi suspects it to be a combat ship of some kind, but aside from what's suspected to be a large ramming blade its armament profile, or even if it has the capacity to transport and deploy Mobile Suits, is unclear, and the hope is that we won't have to find out in the heat of battle."

One by one, the Gundam Meisters kick off towards their Gundams and board. After a brief startup sequence, all four Gundams spin up their GN Drives and race out of the hangar bay in a stream of particles. Dynames stopped a few meters out, readying himself to provide long-range fire support while the other Meisters took up position about halfway between the outpost and the unknown.

"Dynames to Sumeragi, we're in position," Lockon reports.

"Confirmed. Any change in activity from the unidentified vessel?"

"None yet. Wait, something's happening. I see a hatch opening on the ship's starboard flank, transmitting a visual."

Sumeragi is quiet as she looks at what Lockon's seeing using Dynames' sniper scope. "That's a catapult deck if I've ever seen one, Lockon. Looks like that answers the question of can the ship support a Mobile Suit squadron."

"Are we authorized to eliminate the unknowns?" Tieria asks impatiently.

"Cool your jets, Erde," Sumeragi orders sternly. "Until we know for certain why these guys are here, I want none of you opening fire unless it's in self-defense. Is that clear?"

Even with his helmet polarized, Lockon could tell Tieria was scowling at not being allowed to vaporize the ship in front of them. "Understood."

"Good," Sumeragi replies before turning to Lockon. "Lockon, if one of the Meisters or an unknown start something, do what you can to keep both sides from killing anyone. We need answers, and we won't get that if someone puts a round through someone else's cockpit."

"Roger that. Speaking of, looks like our new friends are launching their Mobile Suits, sending you visuals now."

— Resource Outpost operations center —

With the camera feed synched up with Dynames' scopes, Sumeragi took in the details of each unit as it launched.

The first one out looked rather impractically designed. Between the bulbous weapon pods on its shoulders and the flight pack that was packing some heavy ordinance with those four cannons hanging over the shoulders, she could only wonder how it would be able to stand, let alone walk under gravity with how top-heavy the machine appeared to be. It had a mostly red color scheme, with white secondary and black detailing. Whoever was in that thing's cockpit clearly knew what they were doing, because it was moving quite fluidly despite how top-heavy the thing looked.

The next machine out was another somewhat bulky-looking unit, but it looked much more balanced with its center of gravity. Two engine pods jutted from the back, while a shield and a massive rifle were connected to the left and right shoulder, respectively. From what she could tell at a glance of the large gun, it appeared to be similar to Union and AEU Linear Rifles at base, but on a scale that would rate it as anti-ship artillery. An occupied charge port for a beam saber could be seen on the shield, as well as a folded ramming spike. Held in the unit's hands was a large rifle-like weapon that she assumed to be some kind of beam machine gun. It was a solid white color with blue detailing.

Following them was another bulky machine, one that was easily the most exotic looking of the ones deployed so far. It honestly made her think someone took a dragon and turned it into armor for a knight of some sort with how armed and armored the machine was. Its color scheme was a solid purple with sparse white trim.

The last machine out of the unknown vessel, unlike its compatriots, was a rather sleek-looking machine that looked to be partially derived from the Union's Flag. Between its streamlined frame and those large engines sticking straight out behind its shoulders and on its legs, it was clear to Sumeragi that this machine had been built for speed above all else, and interceptor through and through, though the tail unit it had attached to its back reminded her somewhat of the bomber unit that Kyrios could mount in its flight form.

At first, she thought that was it; then a fifth unit emerged from behind the vessel, and Sumeragi's mind temporarily stopped working when she saw it. The machine was massive, easily twice the size of even Kyrios, which was only half a meter taller than Virue. The only odd thing was that its massive legs and arms seemed to be integrated to a much smaller MS that looked vaguely draconic in design, with the giant arms attached to the core Mobile Suit's shoulders and separate from the core's own arms. What really had Sumeragi on edge about the titan of a Mobile Suit, however, was the massive blade held passively in the large left hand. It was a single-edged blade, and she could see the telltale exhaust ports of Vernier engines lining the back of the blade. She shuddered to think of what that monster could do to a ship.

"Uh… Sumeragi, are you seeing this as well?" Lockon asks, trepidation in his voice at seeing how the unknowns outnumber them 3 to 2 when counting the ship and the massive Mobile Suit.

"Seeing, still… working on believing, Lockon. Feldt, what's the status of the unknown ship?"

"One moment… It seems like the ship was pre-programed to go into some sort of standby mode after its Mobile Suit complement had launched. I don't think they have enough crew for both the ship and Mobile Suits. Also, each of the unidentified Mobile Suits, barring one, appear to be powered by a similar type of nuclear reactor as the ship. We are currently unable to identify the energy generator type of the third conventional Mobile Suit to launch." As Feldt explained this, energy readings from the carrier dropped down to negligible. Meanwhile, a radiation symbol was placed next to the ship and all of the Mobile Suits barring the one that looked like a knight wearing a dragon as armor, which had a trio of question marks next to it.

"Hm… Alright, Feldt, look for a comm frequency that'll reach them, Lockon, have the Meisters hold position until we can establish contact with the unknowns."

"Roger that, Sumeragi. Here's hoping they're… what the hell?! Tieria!" Lockon cut the channel at that, making Sumeragi realize that the one she'd hoped would be the coolest customer of the Gundam Meisters may have just done something incredibly stupid…

— minutes prior, outside the resource outpost —

Blaze looked among the assembled Gundam standing between them and what was obviously one of Celestial Being's resource outposts. Sure enough, there were four Gundams. Exia, Virtue, and Kyrios were at the front, weapons equipped, though none currently actively being deployed, or aimed their way. A distance behind them, Dynames had its sniping visor lowered, but its GN Sniper Rifle was stowed, telling him that Lockon was merely observing them for now. Looking to the other ATX Team members, he opened their squad frequency. "What's the call now, Boss?"

"Maintain your positions, make no attempts to appear hostile," Minerva orders. "We need information. Flügel, I want you to attempt to isolate Celestial Being's frequency. Let us see if they are willing to sit down and discuss matters with us peacefully."

"Alright, Boss, beginning full spectrum scan," Flügel reports. "I should have something for you in half an hour at most."

Meanwhile, Celestial Being's Gundams were also holding steady, quietly observing the five "unknown Mobile Suits".

"Why are they just sitting there?" Allelujah asks.

"Don't know, could be they were expecting us to attack first," Setsuna suggests, leaving Kyrios' pilot pleasantly surprised.

"I guess that makes the most sense out of anything I can think of, Setsuna," Allelujah replies. "After all, they only scrambled their Mobile Suit compliment after we did. This could just be a simple case of wrong place at the wrong time."

"We have enemies right in front of us, why are we simply standing around waiting for them to attack?" Tieria asks, irritated.

"I'm pretty sure these guys are considered neutral for right now, Tieria," Allelujah counters, hoping to calm Tieria down. "Remember, we know nothing about these guys. For all we know, they could be another branch of Celestial Being. Also, I'm picking tactical data from Miss Sumeragi, all but one of those suits are powered by a Fusion reactor, same with the ship. One wrong move, and we'll be at Ground Zero of a nuclear detonation."

"Indeed. We should wait for Sumeragi Lee Noriega's tactical forecast before making any moves," Setsuna adds in agreement, making Allelujah proud that Setsuna was treating this situation with due caution.

Tieria, on the other hand, was at the end of his patience. "To hell with this!" With that declaration, Virtue raises its GN Bazooka and begins charging up a blast.

"Tieria!" Lockon shouts over the comm-link. "What the hell are you doing?! Sumeragi said not to attack!"

"I don't have time for her hesitation! For the sake of the plan, we should be eliminating all who stand in our way!"

Not willing to listen to reason, Virtue soon opens fire, sending a powerful blast of concentrated GN Particles at the five Mobile Suits and the unidentified warship.

"Tieria, you idiot!" Lockon growls as he readies Dynames' GN Sniper Rifle. To his initial confusion, only the smaller Mobile Suits scrambled out of the way of Virtue's attack while the giant simply raised one of its large arms. Then he quickly learned why it wasn't getting out of the way as a plane of energy erupted from its forearm armor, creating an energy shield that Virtue's blast harmlessly splashed off of. After that happened, all five unknowns began readying weapons. A pair of beam blades erupted from the forearm armor of the horned unit, the sniper stowed its large Beam Rifle and brandished the linear cannon mounted on its right shoulder, the knight readied its spear, the interceptor aimed an arm-mounted beam rifle, and the titan readied its colossal blade.

Right as he was about to fire into the middle of the two sides to keep them from engaging each other, however, Setsuna surprised everyone by maneuvering Exia between Virtue and the unknowns, deploying its GN Sword, and aiming it at Virtue. "Setsuna…?"

"Setsuna F. Seiei, what is the meaning of this?!" Tieria shouts over the comm. "Have you lost your mind!?"

"Tieria Erde. We were not given the attack signal by Sumeragi Lee Noriega," Setsuna replies coldly. "You will receive one warning. Stand down, or be executed as a rogue Meister."

Setsuna's words flipped a switch for both Allelujah and Lockon, who readied Kyrios GN Beam Submachine Gun and Dynames' GN Sniper Rifle, respectively, and took aim at Virtue as well. Dynames was already in a good position, while Kyrios backed away a bit, enough to stay within the optimal range for its weapon, but have plenty of time to react in case Tieria does, indeed, go rogue. From the corner of his scope, Lockon could see that the five unknowns were lowering their weapons and looking amongst themselves. It seems Lockon didn't give Setsuna enough credit – the kid knew how to follow battlefield procedure after all.

Tieria, meanwhile, was stunned into silence by Setsuna's warning, as well as acknowledging target locks from both Kyrios and Dynames. He instinctively knew that neither of the two Gundams would be able to break through Virtue's GN Field with their beam weapons, but Exia was a whole different story. Its physical GN Sword was purpose-built to counter GN Fields; Virtue's greatest defense would serve him little here. Slamming his fist into the armrest of his chair, Tieria bit back a curse and lowered Virtue's arms before letting go of the GN Bazooka. Dynames flew up to join the group as Kyrios used its free hand to take possession of Virtue's main weapon.

"Setsuna, escort Tieria back to the hangar, I imagine Miss Sumeragi has some choice words for our unexpected hot head here," Lockon orders before switching to a private channel between him and Setsuna. "Be sure to tell Tieria that any deviation from the path back to the hangar will be seen as him going rogue."

"Understood," Setsuna replies in acknowledgement, accepting Virtue's GN Bazooka from Kyrios before carrying out his assignment, Virtue not making any attempts to make a break for it as it's escorted back into the outpost's hangar bay.

Lockon kept an eye on the two up until their particle trails disappeared inside the asteroid. Only once that was done did the sniper return his attention to the unknowns and switch to an audio-only open frequency, hoping their comms would pick up his transmission. "I apologize for the actions of my teammate. I hope this doesn't sour our relations before they can even begin."

Fortunately, it seemed to work as the horned unit deactivates its forearm beam sabers. "That is our hope as well," a male voice replies over the comms, the horned machine nodding its head to indicate its pilot was the one speaking. "I will be honest with you, we were not entirely anticipating arriving where and how we did, and it seems to have scrambled a couple of our ship's less critical systems. If it is at all possible, we would like to dock to run some diagnostics and take stock of our situation."

"Well, this just went above my pay grade," Lockon jokes. "If you'll give me a minute, I'll get in touch with someone qualified to make that kind of call."

The horned Mobile Suit looks to his companions for a moment before looking to Dynames and nodding. "We can wait."

"Great, thanks," Lockon says, breathing a sigh of relief before switching channels to his one-on-one comm with the ops center. "You get all that, Sumeragi?"

"I did, and I give them permission to land," Sumeragi replies. "Have the pilots of those machines meet me in the briefing room ninety minutes after they touch down. I'd appreciate it if you escort them there."

"You got it," Lockon acknowledges before switching back to the open frequency. "Okay, new guys, you've got clearance to land your ship in the hangar. After you land, you've got an hour and a half to run diagnostics on your ship and make yourselves presentable, because my boss would like to speak with you."

"Very well, we'll stow our Mobile Suits and bring our ship, the Arkbird, in for docking," the male voice from before replies before the five machines turn and fly back to their carrier. Lockon watched with a smile as the catapult door on their ship (the Arkbird, apparently) opened again to let the four regular sized Mobile Suits into the hangar bay while the titan went to the back of the ship, where he guessed a launch bay existed to let the colossus deploy. After waiting a few minutes with Allelujah, the energy readings from the ship rose again and Lockon nodded Dynames' head before pointing for Kyrios to take post at the ship's other flank as they escorted it into the outpost's hangar, which also had a dock for spacecraft.

Once the Arkbird was safely connected to the outpost's dock, Lockon and Allelujah brought their machines back to their berths, where he saw Exia and Virtue already docked. Despite Tieria's near screw-up, Lockon was glad things didn't go as bad as they could've today.

Spice: And that's chapter. Now, before anyone gets in a tizzy about Tieria being the one to (nearly) start a fight between the ATX Team and Celestial Being, think about it. Lockon (Neil Dylandy) is too cool under the collar to let his emotions get the better of him about anything except terrorists and Mr. Blood Knight Personified (also known as Ali al-Saachez), and Allelujah's split personality-induced PTSD would never let him pull that kind of trigger without receiving the go-ahead from Sumeragi beforehand. That left Tieria and Setsuna as the most likely candidates that fire the shot that nearly sparks a fight.

Setsuna idolizes the Gundam as an ideal: that of war's eradication. Sure, he makes some questionable calls, such as getting out of the cockpit in the middle of an active warzone because Ali was there and he wanted to see where the bastard's "God" was, but in his eyes, to start a fight without it being part of his mission parameters would be something other than what the Gundam stands for. This meant that I knew for a fact, even before what he pulled in Azadistan, that he would also never start a fight with unknowns without Sumeragi's expressed permission.

Tieria on the other hand, when compared to the rest of the Gundam Meisters in season 1, is arguably the most hot-blooded of the original four. To him, the plan comes before everything else, and he pretty much wears his heart on his sleeve for it despite his aloof exterior. To Season 1 Tieria, prior to Veda's being highjacked, Veda and Aeolia's plan are the only things he has in the world, and something that compromises either is inexcusable in his eyes. He's also the most critical of everyone else in Celestial Being, which means that, in the end, he would be the only one to disregard an order from Sumeragi to not shoot at a hostile after so much time passed without getting permission to open fire.

Any-who, now that that little lecture's out of the way, I will see you all when I finish another chapter of one of my stories. Until then, this is Spiceracksargent001: signing off!
