-After that last contact, they picked up the scrap and surviving materials from allied and enemy ships, plenty was found and recovered-
Carter:...
Rick: It's not your fault, he did it without any hope of victory, a small fleet isn't going to stop a larger fleet unless they have a sneaky tactic. Do you know about the beginning of the one year war?
Carter: Enlighten me.
Rick: So the introduction of mobile suits to the war effort was done by Zeonic, the maker of the Bugu, Zaku mk 1,2 and 3 and many others during the one year war, they destroyed a fleet the tianem fleet led by General Revil and they despite being outnumbered and outgunned, used the Zakus to strike the enemy ships from below and at the same time the warships firing at the same time. During that battle Revil was captured and then eventually freed by members of Kacillias agency of spies which forced the war to continue which eventually led to the loss by Zeon.
-They converse about that war then go their separate ways Rick heads to the hangar bay while Carter goes back to his room wondering how someone could be so influential and idiotic at the same time-
Liz: What's on your mind? You seem tense.
Carter: I can't believe that politician was dumb enough to sacrifice his own men for the betterment of his name.
Corvus: He was a fool...any well versed officer would know that it was a futile attempt with someone as weak as he was. Also I realized you had a sort of adapter on your back...I will set up the suit for direct connection to your body.
Carter: But couldn't that kill me? I mean a graze is fine but is a Gundam more complicated?
Corvus: It is but we will release the linters slowly for now we will leave the limiter on level 1.
Liz: Are you sure about this? You know you can die right?
Corvus: I am a support ai with data all about things like this, I know what I am doing Lieutenant Elizabeth Phoenix.
Carter: So you decided to look at her file huh? I guess there is nothing you can't see.
Corvus: No I cannot see one thing...
Carter: And that would be?
Corvus: How this war will end...
-Despite this he remembers why this started in the first place and moves on from it-
Carter: It's about time we get something to eat, mind going with me?
Liz: Sure!
-They enter the mess and lunch is preserved pork, with salad and fruit-
Carter: Isn't this a bit much?
Cook: No choice, we expect a lot of fighting from this point on so enjoy it while you can.
-Carter digs in, and finishes and he is called into the hangar after he finishes and it's about the AV he has installed in his back as well as the adapter in the suit-
Sayla: I don't understand, it typically doesn't work with other suits other than the ones with AHAB reactors. How did you do it?
Carter: Don't ask me, ask Corvus!
Corvus: I installed it since my mater has that adapter, after all it makes the suit more efficient and effective, being able to control the suit like its part of your own body, it also enhances your senses when piloting something that isn't your body. In short, I did it because it works and it's effective.
Sayla: That's not what I meant! How did you install it with a foreign power and control system?
Corvus: You humans are all alike, do not understand the extent of how electronics work. It's the same, just work the wire welding differently. After that it makes it completely possible.
Sayla: Your going to have to show me later. For now, I have news, the current units we have are being retired for the mass production models. The Leo's are being retired, they have changed to completely GN drive based technology.
Carter: Ok but what are they changing them for?
Sayla: The transformable mobile suit Brave, the tests were successful on weapons, speed, g compensation and energy production. It's the ideal mobile suit being able to recharge its weapons on the go, it has an addition physical sword to deal with targets that can nullify beam attacks, and it has a large cannon in the nose that can fire superheated plasma. The fun part is that it also supports a modified version of the Leo's machine gun, so all we have to do is modify the 100mm machine guns. They are coming in two days in order to fulfill the order of all of our mobile suits.
-The alarm goes off and it's another attack this time it's an entire brigade of enemy mobile suits, heavy gun mobile suits, as expected of the enemy garrison on Mars-
Carter: I'll deal with this, Sayla hook my suit up, I'll use the Alvarion cannon to finish this.
- Carter is raised on the ship elevator, in his mobile suit with a charging lead on his GN reactor and he charges the Alvarion and waits until the time is right-
Carter: Let's see which one of you is in charge...THERE!
-Carter Fires the Alvarion and it melts three mobile suits and disintegrates the rest, the remaining units charge Carter then releases the GN particle charging lead and then Carter picks between his machine gun which he borrowed from a downed Leo and the beam rifle, he chooses the beam rifle and raises his shield and fires his beam rifle from behind the shield and snipes a few from afar but 10 still remained at this point Tann had deployed and he fires his 120mm rifle and has trouble destroying one, the heavy gun and the Graze wrestle with each other, Tann pulls out his axe and swings but is countered by the heavy gun in which he breaks the elbow of the Graze and takes the axe from its hand, what happens next he cannot explain as he sees the heavy gun get behind the graze and lodges the axe in its generator, making the graze explode in the explosion the heavy gun is also destroyed-
Carter: Tann! Tann can you read me, did you eject?
Cpt. Jackson: No IFF from an escape capsule, get a search team out there after the battle!
-Carter draws his beam sword and charges-
Carter: Dammit!
-The heavy guns approach and also draw their swords-
Carter: Time to make this an unfair fight.
-Carter fire his machine gun at a heavy gun and blows it to pieces then dodged the swing of the other and cuts through it-
Carter: And now for the...huh?
-The rest of the suits were dealt with before he could turn to deal with them-
Carter: Who?
Jordan: No idea, checking surveillance feed to find who did it.
???: No need guys.
-A suit decloaks from a modified mirage colloid built for other mobile suits besides the staelthy suits-
???: I am Wallace, commander for the new Brave unit.
-It only becomes clearer as the suit is a commander type model, an advanced cannon, modifiable frame and equipment and more it was a mass production mobile suit to be feared for sure-
Carter: Well...that was an interesting encounter.
-Wallace brings his Brave aboard and parks it in the ms hangar where Tann was parked, no one complained as they knew that nothing would survive a reactor explosion at close range, the force would be too much and at the same time if close enough the heat from the reactor exploding would have incinerated anything too close, it was a sad day, everyone knew Tann after the number of operations that they had done and in the end he was put down as if he were just a faceless soldier, after the two days as described they got their Braves, 20 commander types and ten times that in normal Braves, the only difference was the number of GN drives the commanders had 2 while the normal ones had only one this made them very good units as they have a long operation time and in intense firefights they may end up coming back only once to rearm and refuel, they are especially dangerous when they fight in teams but in their case it would be in squadrons they can have varying weapons and there is rumor of the manufacturer making modifications to be able to use guided missiles and unguided rockets in pods stored on the underside of the unit in flight and in ms mode they would be stored on the arms in forward facing fire-
Carter: So this is a brave...not as intimidating as I thought, but I know better than to judge based on looks.
-Carter goes back to his suit and works in some planned modifications with Riker-
Riker: We could increase the efficiency of the Alvarion energy cannon but it will require some work, Corvus you up for it?
Corvus: Working on adjustable variables to it can be worked on without cause if a malfunction. Found, energy use is up by 50%, can be reduced by at minimum 25% at maximum 35%. Moving fins.
-The fins for the Alvarion come over the shoulders and they open up the panels on the wings finding and fixing the error and they bring down the usage to 15% and it is determined it can be used in combat without the charger lead on the ship, they also make sure the verniers and thrusters are variating well as well as show perfect control of the unit the project is completed and the only option left would be more weapon hardpoint attachments but with a mobile suit like the 1.5 there really is no point to do it after all the fighting and tuning all that was left was to deal with the earth branch of the MWDF, in which they left their relative position and took a careful course to orbit the moon while waiting to land at their destination in which they also keep an eye on the orientation of Gryps 2 to avoid instant death, this wait was a whole month, and what came before was a battle that would be forever written in the annuls of history...-
