Phase Four: A Peaceful City

Copernicus City was originally developed and built by the order of the UN to help in their Space Colonization Plan. This city would mine resources from the moon for use in colony construction as well as serving as an administration base for the colony construction. However after the UN Space Commission and UN Resource Commission went through with the Resource Asteroid Plan Copernicus would no longer mine the resources instead become the main neutral port of the Earth Sphere. Therefore it would be known by many as Peace City due to this and many Coordinators would live their lives here away from the anti-Coordinator sentiments of those on Earth.

As he walked through the door Kira Yamato smiled in remembrance as he looked around the establishment known as Mo's Eatery and Diner. He could see many young people in the school uniforms he himself had once worn few years before. This was one of the more popular hang-out and lunch spots for the students at Copernicus Preparatory Academy. He could remember sitting at one of these tables deep in discussion with Athrun over their latest project while Fiona would just watch with a smile often chiming in her with own views on something. Athrun entered the place behind him with similar memories running in his head. As the two of them entered they approached by the hostess of Mo's who walked up to the two of them with a smile on her face.

"Good afternoon gentlemen. A table for two then?" she asked with a smile jolting the two of them out of their thoughts and memories. Kira looked over at her with a small smile on his face.

"Actually that will be a table for three since we are meeting a friend here," he explained making the hostess nod in understanding and getting an extra menu before waving her arm towards the back of the restaurant where a group of small tables sat away from the front of the place where all the young kids where excitedly talking.

"Here we are, Flora will be your server and will be right with you," the hostess mentioned waving towards a particular table before laying the menus onto the table before leaving them to take their seats. Kira did so looking around with a shake of his head, while Athrun quickly slipped into his own seat.

"This is amazing I didn't think this place was still around but I shouldn't be surprised," Kira mentioned with a smile as he looked around the place once more.

"Yeah it just gives you that nostalgia feeling doesn't it? You know we need to bring the girls with us next time we come here," Athrun replied with a nod of his head as he looked around himself watching as the various students from the Preparatory Academy along with several other students from the other local schools talk excitedly with friends

"Yeah you're right we really need to bring the girls here the next time we are here," Kira mentioned in answer as he looked down at the menu to see it pretty much the same as he remembered it. Before their waiter could come to their table Athrun saw the form of Fiona as she entered the restaurant and waved at her to get her attention. Fiona quickly spotted them and made her way through the kids towards them. Kira and Athrun got up from the table exchanged hugs with their old friend.

"Oh my god it is so good to see you guys! I still can't believe not only Kira is here but Athrun as well!" she said excitedly as she took a seat at the table. As she so their waiter appeared at the table seeing that they looked ready to order. The three of them quickly gave their orders to the waiter before they turned their attention back to each other.

"Anyways so what is this long story that Kira mentioned we saw each other this morning," she mentioned turning to look at Kira who sighed and exchanged looks with Athrun.

"Well it all started several months ago at Heliopolis Colony where my family moved after we left Copernicus," Kira mentioned after taking a quick sip of his recently arrive drink before turning his attention back to Fiona. Athrun looked interested for he hasn't heard Kira's version of events just it so it should prove interesting.

"The day happened to be January 27 and I just had been given a series of tough assignments by my professor at the Heliopolis Technical College where I not only went to school but I worked as well. Sadly my peaceful life would end this day and the colony was attacked by ZAFT due to the local Morgenroete Research Facility having been building mobile suits for the Earth Alliance. Since I had been working at that same facility my friends and I were trapped in the place as the ZAFT attack began. I made the mistake of chasing after a guest of the professor who had been waiting for him to arrive and had run off towards the Facility's Factory District. I managed to catch with the guest to discover that it is a young girl who I quickly helped to a nearby shelter after discovering the mentioned Alliance Mobile Suits," he started before taking another sip from his drink and returning to his story describing that first day with Athrun piping up with a few comments here and there while Fiona looked on in horror at the story. With Athrun got a better appreciation for what Kira had to go through.

"…and so I am after fighting against the Earth Alliance Fifth Fleet I am here," Kira said finishing about an hour after he had started his story and just in time for their food to arrive. The various students had left leaving the restaurant quiet once more while they started to eat their late lunch. Fiona couldn't believe what had happened to her best friends since they left Copernicus. After finishing this late lunch Kira turned his attention to Fiona.

"What about you? I realized that you were in the uniform for the Copernicus Guard earlier when I ran into you earlier?" he asked with a thoughtful frown on his face looking at her. While Athrun nodded in agreement with Kira for he was wondering that same thing. Fiona sighed and leaned back in her chair before looking up at the roof of the restaurant.

"Well I went through Copernicus Prep and later Apollo Secondary School where I graduated at the top of my class. I then drifted around a bit wondering what I should do with my life when the Copernicus Guard was form and started to ask around for volunteers to join up, they where particularly asking for Coordinators to pilot mobile suits. Therefore I asked myself why not, I needed something to do and the Guard was would be willing to pay for my college if I needed it. Not like anyone would attack the City," she mentioned after a moment of thought and took a breath before returning to her story.

"I quickly started my training and found that I was natural at piloting much to the pleasure of my trainers. Over time we continued to train as we watched numerous videos of engagements on the planet that the Copernicus City Intelligence Bureau managed to get their hands on. Then we heard about the Alliance sending the Fifth Fleet to take over the City, and I knew I wasn't going to stand around watching as they did so. I fought during the battle shooting down several of the enemy mobile suits before my GINN was damaged by one of those Buster Daggers and I was saved by one of the Guard's new Astrays who while their pilots hadn't had all the training the Guard GINN Pilots had where clearly doing better then we were. Once your Peacekeeper Faction arrived I was dragged back to the ships and was pulled out of my mobile suit were I was treated before being sent back home to rest," she mentioned with a nod to her sling and the bandages around her head before sighing sadly at the loss of some of her friends. Kira and Athrun smiled over at her before they comforted her briefly.

"Thanks guys and I just got word from a few of my remaining friends that we are going to be getting new Astrays to pilot. Unlike some of the other Coordinator pilots who had started to cross-train themselves on the Astrays I haven't yet mainly because I kind of enjoyed piloting my old GINN," she mentioned with a smile and a chuckle making the two boys to laugh as well.

"Well no worries Fiona I have pilot an Astray a few times and it is not that bad of a mobile suit to pilot," Athrun mentioned while Kira snorted and leaned forward slightly towards Fiona.

"Not to mention that is my OS that is running the Astrays," he mentioned with a smile making Fiona to look at him in surprise before laughing.

"That is just you Kira for you were always the one who came up with the programming for Athrun's projects," she mentioned with another laugh while Athrun nodded with a laugh of his own. The three friends continued to talk as the day went on and before long the three said their good-byes before leaving Mo's behind them though the two boys made a promise to Fiona that after the war they would come back to Copernicus to spend some more time with her.

Flit Asuno's Office
Morgenroete Luna Facility
Industrial District, Copernicus City
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

In his office Flit Asuno had stopped looking over data on production of Astray series mobile suits at the ever enlarging production line, to turn his attention to some data from the testing of various components from the new Angel mobile suit being developed by his team along with a few extras. His administrative assistant Frederick Algreus stood in front of his desk having handed the data on the Angel to his boss moments before.

"Interesting and this was made by accident?" Flit mentioned in awe looking down at a video of the incomplete Angel Prototype Mobile Suit managing to block a beam blast from a Type 71 Beam Rifle with a crackling blue energy field.

"Yes sir, apparently the engineers were experimenting with the unit's Phase Shift armor incorporate some samples we manage to get of the Alliance's Trans-Phase Shift Armor, and that Geschmeidig Panzer armor we have heard about. The result of the additions of that data produced that field," the blond-haired aide reported with a shake of his head.

"Do they know what exactly it is Frederick?" the engineer asked looking up from the video and its third play through.

"They believe it to be some sort of electro-magnetic field, basically higher in power then the similar field generated by Phase Shift Armor," the younger man reported faithfully looking down at his notes. Flit simply leaned back in his chair the Astray Production Data forgotten on his desk.

"This is sheer amazing! What of the strength of the field? Have they tested that yet?" he asked excitedly looking up at aide who looked back down at his notes for a moment before nodding.

"Yes they have tried several tests to see the strength of the field and they have found that over time several successive blasts from a Type 71 Beam Rifle or similar rifle will bring down the field while a higher-end beam weapon like a Type 65 Beam Cannon can bring it down in the matter of three or so shots, and finally a larger anti-ship weapon like an Agni Hyper-Impulse Cannon can blow through the field in one shot," the aide reported looking down at his notes making Flit nod impressed with the ability of this field against beam weapons.

"What about projectile weapons?" he asked leaning forward in his excitement.

"Well sir they at first tried the Type 50 CIWS Cannon on a pivot mount they ended up running out of ammo before they could bring the field down, next they tried a Type 55 Machine Gun and it took the entire clip from the rifle to bring down the field, and finally the tried a few missile launchers which brought it down sooner," Algreus reported with a nod his head looking up at his boss to see him nodding at this pleased at the performance of this new shield.

"Very well anyways I better start getting ready for the party. So send a good job to the engineers and tell them I want the prototype down as soon as possible," he ordered getting from his desk making Algreus nod in understanding before writing down the orders on his notes before bowing himself out of the office. With a sigh Flit moved over his office's large wardrobe and started to remove the suit his wife Emily had picked up for him. With a grumble the engineer made his way to the attached bathroom to get ready for the party.

Ballroom
Capitol Building
Capitol District, Copernicus City
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

In the large main ballroom of the Capitol Building of Copernicus City the Victory Celebration was well under way as various notable figures in Copernicus along with numerous Guard pilots, crewmen, and officers celebrated their victory over the Earth Alliance Fifth Fleet. The various personal of the Copernicus Guard looking splendid in their green and silver uniforms which are heavily based on the uniform of the Orb Union which basically served as a nod to the long-standing relationship between Orb and Copernicus City. However this all changed when the large main door opened to show the several officers and personal of the Peacekeeper Faction standing there looking over the ballroom. The various figures dancing and celebrating having noticed their entrance turned their own attention to the newcomers before they started to clap and cheer the Peacekeeper Faction. Admiral Gloval at the head of his officers and personal nodded at this before bowing his head to the cheering Copernicus City locals. The other Peacekeeper personal are surprised at the warm welcome and quickly join the celebrations. Quickly the dance floor fills up with a sea of green and white uniforms as the military personal started to dance. Along those dancing was Captain Murrue Ramius and Lieutenant Commander Mu La Flagga who calmly ignored the amused and knowing looks from the other Peacekeeper officers.

"This is nice," Murrue mentioned with a smile leaning against the strong chest of her boyfriend with a sight of content making the blond haired pilot chuckle lightly knowing he still had it.

"Yeah it is isn't it," he agreed with a beaming smile on his face as he contently danced with his new girlfriend with a large grin on his face.

Elsewhere on the dance floor the shocking couple of Commander Fokker and Lieutenant Commander Claudia Grant danced. The two had longtime been off-on lovers and now they were once again dating.

"You know I think you more dashing in the Peacekeeper Uniform then that old Alliance uniform," Claudia mentioned with a clear purr in her voice making Skull Leader grin goofily at this.

One pair of dancers weren't actually a couple at all instead they where twin siblings and the two were just dancing as siblings and honestly it wasn't the first time the two had danced. Due to them being dance partners as children when they started to enter various dance competitions. However this was the first in a large time that the two of them danced with one another.

"This brings back memories doesn't it Nat?" Eric mentioned with a smile looking down at his slightly younger sister.

"Yeah it does Eric," Natarle replied as she was twirled around with a fond smile looking at her brother knowing he had gotten taller since the last time she saw him. He must have gotten a final growth spurt while in the Academy.

"It is going to be confusing having two Captain Badigurels in the Peacekeeper Faction won't it?" he asked with a chuckle making the younger Badigurel laugh in response.

"Yeah it will but we get over it," she replied as she turned her attention to enjoying the night as her brother twirled her around the dance floor.

As the celebration went on the Peacekeeper and Guard officers started to mingle more and various connections were made between the two groups. With Kira Yamato dancing with Guard mobile suit pilot Fiona Alexander before exchanging with his friend Athrun. It was kind a success for the Governor along with the two groups of officers. Many Peacekeeper Officers surprised to find many of not only the Guard officers but simple Copernicus Civilians coming up to them and thanking them. It was quite a shock and an humbling experience to the various officers of the Peacekeeper Faction. However before long the celebration ended with a saddened note as Admiral Jacques made his speech before going through the names of the dead. With one final dance the gathered group of people broke up many going back to their ships with the Peacekeeper Faction while the civilians of the city went back to their normal lives along with the Guard personal.

The next morning found the various ships of the Peacekeeper Faction leaving Copernicus City behind them. At least all but the two Archangel Class ships the Archangel and the Dominion who where escorting the Faction's support ships back to the Factory after they arrived a few hours after the end of the battle. They carried refined minerals, several new Astrays, and some needed parts for the local Morgenroete Facility to use. The ships also carried several of the newly rebuilt MSW-01S Spade for use by the Copernicus City civilian mobile suit worker groups like Laborer Pod Workers. These rebuilt Strike Daggers were basically making them into worker mobile suits. This had first been done by engineer crews on board the Altair during Operation X's operations against the Alliance in late April and into May. These worker mobile suits would allow the Copernicus Worker Groups to have natural-use worker mobile suits for their use. In return the support ships were being loaded up in turn with some of the recovered debris from the battle, most of which would be recycled and refined at the factory, as well as a several lightly damaged Strike Daggers and other such stuff. The three support ships would be ready later that day though they would have to wait for when the three mobile suit prototypes being worked on by the Morgenroete Luna Facility to be completed which would delay them a day or two. Therefore it came to no surprise that Governor Mallory offering the joys of the city to the crews of the two Archangel Class ships as they waited for the support ships to be finished loaded.

Classroom A-7
Copernicus Preparatory Academy
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

In one of the many classrooms of the Copernicus Preparatory Academy Kira Yamato stood next to one of his old teachers as she introduced him to her gathered class. He still couldn't believe he had agreed to do this; it had only taken the combined effort of his girlfriend and old friend Fiona Alexander to convince him. Still it was kind of nostalgic to be in this room with his old teacher, and he liked seeing the bright faces of the various young early teenagers looking up at him.

"You may notice that we have visitor today for you all. I would like to introduce Lieutenant Kira Yamato a mobile suit pilot of the Peacekeeper Faction and a former student of this school," the teacher said waving over to the uniformed form of Kira who shook his head to clear his thoughts waved at the various students.

"He will be talking about mobile suit piloting and his experiences in computer programming for those students on the computer track. He will be taking questions later on in the class, therefore for now hold your questions till he is finished with his presentation," the teacher went on before stepping aside to make room for him during his speech. With a smile to his old teacher Kira stepped up to look over the students sitting before him. He coughed briefly and adjusted his uniform slightly before turning to the large display screen standing behind him.

"Thank you, Ms. Keller for that kind and wonderful introduction. Let me first say that it is kind of strange being on this end of the class for it was only a few years ago when I was sitting where you are now. Moving on like your teacher mentioned I am a mobile suit pilot for the Peacekeeper Faction and I am going to speak about mobile suits in general. So to start my presentation, a mobile suit is a usually a humanoid machine that was at first developed to help in colony construction. It has since become a large war machine for use in any environment known to man, however we are not going to be talking about combat mobile suits since I am sure the schools administration would shoot me for talking about it to you all. I shall move on to the original idea of a mobile suit worker, and being a mobile suit pilot for these machines," he started really getting into his presentation and pausing briefly at parts of his speech to let the laughter dye down before going on. Taking a brief sip of water he continued his presentation as an image of a GINN Worker appeared on the display.

"The basic mobile suit worker is the ZGWF-01 GINN Worker and it has been become the standard of any worker mobile suit throughout the Earth Sphere. However due to the limitation of it being only able to be piloted by Coordinators, not many use it outside of the PLANTs or the Junk Guild. The Junk Guild happens to be the sole users of this machine outside of the PLANTs and have developed their own version of the machine the MSW-JG1," he continued with a wave towards the screen as it changed from a Junk Guild MSW-JG1 GINN Worker and then some data on the development of a universal OS for mobile suits.

"Thankfully with the introduction of a universal mobile suit operating system allows either Naturals or Coordinators to pilot mobile suits. After this some techs and engineers have tried to modify GINN Workers to work with the new OS System with no real results due to the nature of the controls of the GINN series mobile suits suited more towards Coordinators then Naturals. Therefore in conjunction with the Junk Guild, Morgenroete has introduced the MSW-01S Spade which is a basically a rebuilt GAT-01 Strike Dagger Mobile Suit," he stated before taking a sip of water once more as the display changed to show the image of the new Spade Mobile Worker. It shared much of its looked with its base mobile suit the Strike Dagger but sported hardly any armor and a simple single visor over its main cameras. It also was painted in the colors of a typical mobile worker.

"Now this idea was originally put forward by Technician First Class Ryan Adele of the Peacekeeper Support Tender Altair during its missions in late April of this year. At first the Spade was simply a stripped down Strike Dagger without much of its armor and weapons, but it since evolved into a complete worker mobile suit with assistance from the Morgenroete Factory at the Mucliber Mobile Dock. This adds another worker type mobile suit to the mix when previously only the GINN Worker was the only such mobile suit in existence. Expect more worker type mobile suits to appear in the months ahead of you, and I am sure some of will become pilots of these large machines," he stated before stopping briefly to wait for the display to get caught up before continuing.

"That said being a Mobile Suit pilot even a mobile worker pilot is a difficult job to do not mention unsafe to many around you. For it is pretty easy to injure someone if a pilot does something wrong. Even then it is a dream come true and a great job to have," Kira said looking over at the class with a serious face before clicking something on his remote before leaning forward once more.

"That said now I am going to be talking about another passion of mine: Computer Programming. I am sure those who don't have that track will be quite bored; all I ask is to at least listen to my lecture for it may help you down the road. That said let's get to the main event them," he said and started his lecture on computer programming which surprising ninety percent of the class was actually listening to and taking notes. Several minutes later the class ended and Kira watched as the gathered class left the room behind most talking excitedly about either of his lectures. Once the last student left the room Kira took a seat in one of the chairs at the front of the room to relax his legs from standing up for the last forty minutes.

"Well Kira I am sure that my class was very excited to have you with us for today," the teacher Fiona Keller mentioned as she took a seat herself next to him. Kira smiled over at her for a moment before sighing.

"Yes I was surprised so many where interested in my second lecture," he mentioned with a short laugh as he eyed the classroom. Fiona Keller only snorted at this before leaning back in his seat.

"That is because the majority of the students in this class are on the Computer Track, with the rest on other similar tracks. That's why," the teacher explained with an amused look on her face making Kira shake his head.

"And that is why you had me lecture about computer programming then?" Kira responded with a shake of his and a smile.

"Come on then Kira, let's get some food, for I am sure you are pretty hungry after all that talking," his former teacher mentioned with a smile. Kira only shook his head before getting up following her out of the classroom.

Elsewhere in the city Flit entered his office after overseeing the testing of the new Angel Mobile Suit Prototypes. He was surprised to see his old friend and mentor Ronald Madorna sitting in front of his desk. With a sigh he took a seat behind his desk before looking over at the man.

"What brings you by Ron?" he asked with a frown eying the older man as leaned back in his chair with his feet on Flit's nice clean desk.

"I have a proposition for you Flit," the crazy old tech mentioned with a big smile on his face making the younger man frown hoping it wasn't like what happened last time the other man said that. It had taken a very long while to apologize to his wife for missing their anniversary along with the birthday of their son.

"Okay why shall I listen to this proposition of yours? Since the last time I did I get in a lot trouble with Emily and I believe you got in even more trouble from Lara for dragging me into it," Flit mentioned eying the crazy old man who had flinched at the reminder of the last time he had said that.

"Fair question my friend, and this doesn't have to do with any project that I have thrown together like last time," Madrona mentioned sheepishly making Flit nod in understanding before leaning back in his seat eying the other man.

"Alright then what is this proposition of yours then?" he asked making the older man grin up at him before putting his feet back onto the floor where they belonged.

"My proposition is that we form our own mobile suit designer company. I have already discussed this briefly with Director Simmons, and she is willing to let you go to form this new company of yours," the man explained with that same large grin on his face making Flit blink in shock at him.

"Our own company? What would we design or build Ron?" Flit asked after shaking his head briefly at this idea.

"That is easy we design and build our own mobile suit line Flit, though these mobile suits are for third parties like Mercenaries, the Copernicus Guard, and other such groups who need mobile suits. Right now the only mobile suit that is in enough large numbers for this is the GINN and its variants. However we know the GINN is becoming increasingly overshadowed by the newer mobile suits like the Alliance Dagger series and Orb's Astray line. We even have a start of a design," Madorna explained with an excited gleam in his eye making Flit nod for it was true. The only mobile suit that was in large numbers along the various third parties was the GINN. With it being now obsolete these groups needed a new mobile suit to replace them. Right now the far superior military mobile suits are mostly in control of their respective militaries, but an entirely third party built mobile suit would be perfect.

"Alright let's say we do this Ron, where would we have our factories?" he asked getting up from his chair and standing turning to look out the large window behind his desk that showed the large industrial district of Copernicus City.

"Well I have already done some scouting around and found a large factory on the outskirts of the district. It had been originally the primary factory Johnson PodWorks before they went under before the war. It is pretty much in good shape and can be easily re-tasked for building mobile suits. Another option is getting a place over at the Factory for they have plenty of space for us. A final option is myself going over to the Factory to get a facility going there and you staying here in Copernicus to get the facility going here making us having two factories," the other tech explained after a moment of thought making Flit nod in understanding.

"What about your family Ron are they willing to move to the Factory?" Flit asked looking over at his old friend to see him nodding.

"Yeah I have already talked about the possibility to them, and Lara really wants some new scenery after having to live her at Copernicus for a long time. Rory on the other hand has just graduated and he thinks he could find a job at the factory far-easier then here at Copernicus," Ron replied with a small smile on his face making Flit nod in understanding.

"That works and I would love to be at the head of my own company, without the politics of a large company like Morgenroete. Granted it has been far better in last few months since Orb was invaded and much of the higher-ups of the company having been killed or lost. So anyways I believe I accept your propostion. Now what is that design you mentioned earlier?" Flit asked returning to his seat making the older tech grin in pleasure before the two started to really talk about their new company.

The next day found the two Archangel Class ships taking off from Copernicus alongside the three main support ships of the Peacekeeper Faction. The three transports filled with supplies and such bound for the Factory. Along the supplies were the three prototypes for the new Angel mobile suit. As the five ships left the peaceful lunar city behind the administration of the city knew that they really needed to get onto a war footing. Just in case the Alliance returned for another attempt in taking over the city. Far underneath the lunar surface the shipyards of the Dawn Civilian Shipyards started to come alive as they started construction on new defense ships for the city. Elsewhere the new mobile suit factory under Flit Asuno was in the process of gearing up to produce new mobile suits for the defense of the city.

Also several long-range cameras around the Lunar Nearspace of the Earth Sphere watched as the five ships left Copernicus behind. Several notable figures at Ptolemauese Lunar Base watched with frowns all around as the five ships left the city. They really wished they had the strength to try to invade the Lunar City once more. However a few wondered about sending a small force after those ships, for it would be worth it to take out two of the Faction's most powerful ships.

Even then the war continued on and plans where finalized as the war started to come to a final end. However the bloodiest battles still awaited and the war was far from over just yet.

Post Chapter Notes:

Well that is the fourth chapter of Part Two and I must say it took me longer to write then any of the others. Basically we get a look at the peaceful life along Copernicus City after the end of the battle. We see the meeting between Fiona Alexander, Athrun, and Kira at first then we get into the celebration of the victory over the Earth Alliance. We also get a look at some of Kira's past as he gives a lecture to some kids at the same school he and Athrun had attended years before hand along meeting one of his old teachers from that same school.

We also get a look into the new Angel Mobile Suit, which shall be so important in the Destiny story for this series. There is also some info on the rebuilt Worker Strike Daggers that have already been mentioned a few times. Basically they are Strike Daggers that are rebuilt into worker mobile suits. Nothing really new there. We also get some news about Flit Asuno and Ron Madorna creating their own business. Their first design will be introduced a bit down the road.

That said I shall leave you with the next Omake. So enjoy!

Omake 04: The Worst Mistake

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Onboard the ZAFT Nazca Class Destroyer Vesalius its commander one Rau Le Crueset stood looking out the bridge's main viewport at the slowing spinning form of Heliopolis Colony. The young ZAFT Commander had recently received news that the Earth Alliance where using the facilities in the colony to develop their own mobile suits for use against ZAFT's own machines. This was against the neutrality on the colony which is owned by the neutral nation of the Orb Union.

"Commander are you sure you don't want to get a hold of the council about this?" someone asked behind him making the masked Commander turn to look at the older man who was the ship's captain and his second in command.

"It will be too late; I have a sixth sense of these things. If we do not seize the moment now, later we will pay with our lives for our reluctance to take action. The Earth Forces new Mobile Weapons, we must secure them before they move them," the Commander mentioned turning back to stare at the colony, and wished he could see the darkened forms of the commando boats as they delivered their payload onto the colony. He was bit restless in this operation for it would his first major operation as a Commander of his own team.

"Well luckily you gave the pilots and commandos orders to follow Yellow Rules of Engagement," the Captain replied a moment later making his Commander nod as well for Yellow Rules of Engagement prevented the pilots or the commandos to attack civilian targets or personal. This was to prevent civilian causalities during the operation but still there would some causalities no matter how careful his men where.

"Yes I wasn't about to have anything to do with Orb maybe joining the Alliance against us," the Commander mentioned with a flinch before turning away from the viewport and took a seat in his command chair before looking down at this watch before nodding over at the Captain.

"Its time," he ordered and leaned back to watch as the ZAFT ships started their own part of the operation, an operation that would become one of ZAFT's worst mistakes ever during the war.

-o-o-

About hour or two later Rau was once again standing at the viewport of the bridge watching as two of his mobile suits once more entered the colony to find out what had happened to remaining prototypes along with the new battleship built to support all of the mobile suit prototypes. As the operation went on Rau had started to feel something was off about the entire operation. Therefore his orders to send a small recon party into the colony to find out what the heck was going on for they had lost contact with the last of commando teams thirty minutes before. They had been searching for the final two prototypes and had fallen out of contact.

"Commander! I think we may have a problem!" someone called out from the bridge's main lift making the Commander turn to see the red uniformed figure of Nicol Amalfi as he rushed out of the lift towards him. Nicol had been one of the pilots sent with the commandoes to capture the prototypes.

"What is it Nicol? What problem?" he asked as he started to feel his stomach plummet to his feet at the shocked look on the young pilot's face.

"Sir I don't think those mobile suits are prototypes for the Earth Alliance, for one the operating system used is very different from what our information had told us to expect in the first place. Also the Gold Frame the mobile suit I recovered sports a kind of development log in the computer, which basically says these mobile suits are for the defense of the Orb Union not for the Earth Alliance. In the log they mention the Alliance G-Project and that Orb managed to get some data of the project to help them develop their own mobile suits. However that is it," the pilot reported with wide-eyes making his Commander curse in shock before he turned to look at Captain Ades.

"Ades! Those IFF readings you where showing me earlier? You said they where all Orb IFFs and no Alliance IFF at all," he asked looking over at his reliable second in command.

"Yes Commander, the handful of mobile armors and the Mistrals used to defend the colony where all sporting Orb IFFs," the man reported with a flinch for he knew where this was going. Commander Le Crueset slowly fell into his command chair in shock before he shook his head.

"We were suckered and given false information! That damn informant was wrong! The mobile suits where indeed for the defense of Orb not for the Alliance. It all makes sense now! That Alliance transport we detected earlier wasn't heading here, no it had to been heading to Artemis! It makes sense! Artemis has been pretty much ignored for several months. It makes the perfect out of the way place to develop their mobile suits," the Commander mentioned out load making the others on the bridge look at one another in shock before they nodded for it did make sense.

"Oh my god, I can't believe we screwed up!" Ades mentioned as he too slumped into his seat in shock.

"Commander! Captain! Look at the colony!" Nicol said pointing out at the viewport towards the colony making the others on the bridge turn to stare out of the viewport as well to see it starting to fall apart much to their horror.

"Oh my god! This is not happening!" Ades mentioned as he got up from his chair and looking out with sick fascination as the colony broke up in many different pieces. The Commander however angry watched the breaking colony for he had a pretty good guess how it started to break apart like that.

"Damn it! It had to been Miguel with his Ion Cannon! I knew I shouldn't have let him take one into the colony like that!" Rau mentioned with a curse and turned to look at the ship's mobile suit operator.

"Operator! Can you detect either Miguel or Olor in that mess?" he asked hoping that Miguel was still alive so he could personally tear into him for this tragedy. The Operator quickly shook of her shock before turning to look at her readouts for a moment before she nodded.

"I only got Olor's GINN on my readouts sir, and he is now returning to the ship," the young woman reported making Rau and Ades nod in understanding at her.

"Ades once Olor is back onboard we shall pull back from the colony's Nearspace and await instructions from the Homeland. Also send off a message on the International Emergency Distress Channel towards the colony's remains that we are now backing off from the area, as well as a notice we were tricked in attacking the colony," he ordered looking over at his Captain who nodded in understanding as the Commander got up from his chair.

"What about you sir what are you going to do?" the older man asked looking over at his commander.

"I am going to personally put together a message to Supreme Chairman Clyne and the Council about what happened. Oh and when Olor is back on board send him to my quarters for I need to debrief him on what happened in there," he replied before leaving the bridge behind making the Captain flinch for he wouldn't want to be doing that before he turned to follow his orders. This was quite a mess and he hoped it didn't have any repercussions in the end.

-o-End-o-

Well here is another large Omake that I have written. Basically a what-if story where the Alliance never used Heliopolis as the development site for the G-project, and ZAFT attacked the colony anyways due to false information that there was a project there to develop mobile suits for the Alliance. Of course they only find the Astray Project developed by Morgenreote to protect Orb and its interests.

We also get a kinder more calm Rau Le Crueset due to another idea I had where he never got shortened telomeres and such making his go mad. Instead he chooses to join up with ZAFT to protect his new home.

Anyways I hope some people enjoyed this little what-if situation I put together for you all to enjoy.

I shall see you again in the next chapter!
