Chapter 3
"Your Highness, do you think it is wise for you to be here," A soldier asked a tall man in a red military uniform. The question was met with silence, not that the soldier expected one. He has been with the prince for some time and knew that he spoke very little. Even so, he was always understood. Maybe it was the fact that his telepathy was so evolved that everyone always understood him.
Ambassador Cofan approached the prince, "Your highness, I have received word that a delegation will be arriving within 24 Earth hours. The delegation will include Minister Darlian as one of the representatives of the ESUN along with one ambassador from each of the colonies and two representatives of Preventers group."
"Most likely, of those representatives from the colony group will include three Preventers," the prince responded.
"Your highness…"
"Chang Wufei of Colony 1, Duo Maxwell of Colony 4, and Quatre Reberba Winner of Colony 3 will more than likely part of the delegation as coming from colonies."
"Understood, your highness. Do you believe that they will be here for a purpose?" Ambassador Cofan asked hoping that he may receive an answer. The prince was notorious for not providing responses much less answers.
"…" It looks like this would be one of those times… "They are here to access my involvement with the Mars delegation." I was wrong, but why tell me.
"Ambassador Cofan, as part of the alliance that Mars is requesting, we need a way to solidify this pact. I have already discussed this with the Emperor and it has been decided that the agreement will be concluded in the manner that was discussed."
"Your highness!" Cofan exclaimed.
"You will make the request; I wish to know if it will be accepted.
"Of course, your highness. The request will be made."
"I will not be staying, Cofan. There is a mission that must be undertaken." Cofan nods in understanding. There was more at stake than just the ESUN and EM and to the Prince, both were important. And if they were important to the prince, he made certain that they were taken care of.
Ambassador Cofan watched as Prince Heero , along with his Nerio guard, walk out of the room to the MS bay
When they were out of earshot of the Ambassador, a guardsman spoke to the prince, "Your highness, we have reason to believe that there has been an infiltration."
"It was to be expected," was his response as he continued on to the MS bay. "You have taken care of making certain it has been taken care of in a proper method, correct?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good," was the simple answer, "Trenton," Heero addressed his Captain to his left, "we have wasted enough time. What information has been acquired?"
"It has been discovered that the Guild are moving forward. The final outcome is still not known to us but we have reason to believe that they are looking to controlling the zords," Trenton responded efficiently.
"What of the Guild's visibility to the ESUN," Heero asked. Captain Trenton passed a folder he had had with him. Heero looked through as they continued to walk to the MS bay.
"There is no evidence that the Guild has been noticed; it was actually a little difficult to locate the little information we were able to recover within the ESUN."
"What of the other matter?" Heero was hopeful for the old comrade.
"There is no evidence that there is any involvement. Quite the contrary, the work being performed is unintentionally hindering the Guild." Heero paused and looked to the captain. "There is no evidence that there is an awareness that it is hindering any group. The belief is that the reasons for the actions are true sentiment."
"Hn." Captain understood it as being the prince's approval as the group as they continued on to the bay.
They finally reached the massive bay where seven Zeta –style suits were docked. Five of the Nerio guardsmen went into the side chamber when Heero nodded to them; Captain Trenton stayed behind with his prince. Heero knew there was additional information that Trenton had for him but waited for the captain to say his piece.
"We have found additional information on the person in question. In looking for a deeper connection to the Guild, we found further information concerning the family ancestors."
"What has you considering that angle?"
"You mentioned that a connection to the ESUN and EM is wanted to be solidified. What was discovered may mean that the measure you are thinking of considering is not needed. There is already a connection." Heero stealy gazed continued to look to Trenton—if frightened most but not the Captain. Either way he continued with the explanation, "It has been discovered that this person is a descendant of Casval Rem Deiken and, as such, a familial relations through the Empress directly into the Royal line of Mars."
"I can see the slight family resemblance of the name; most likely it was changed so that the connection would be obscured," Heero mentioned as he now walked to the chambers. This part of the conversation was over and the Captain now understood the Prince; the request would be made and he would accept it as a duty but as more.
The prince and the captain continued now to the side chamber to change into their own suits before they enter their own Zeta mobile suits. When they completed suiting and entering the mobiles, they exited the bay.
As Heero looked out of the vid screen towards the Picus. In the distance, he saw a colony shuttle approaching the bay. He knew who was on the shuttle and what would happen soon. To make certain that none of the hopes were ruined, he had a job to do. He turned his mobile to the direction that his Nerio guard disappeared in and soon also disappeared.
Sorry for the delay in getting this out. I have been extremely busy with work and classes. I had also suffered from a bit of writer's block. Hopefully I can overcome all and continue with the story but do not expect a new chapter for a short while.
