"I'm, sorry, sir." Forci said sheepishly.
"What did I just say about the whole 'sir' thing," Brian said comically.
"Oh. I'm sorry, Lyo-...I mean Brian. I'm sorry Brian." Forci said even more sheepishly.
"Jesse, Forci. Light up. You're acting way to tense." Asuka said, "It's not like you don't know Brian, heck you took quiet a beating from the guy on one of the fist days you meet him."
"Ok, come on you two. We have a." Brian then grumbled, "..'mission' to run."
He gestured for them to follow as he turned to walk to were the frames were being prepped for departure.
"Theirs is a shipment of metatron that we have to 'escort' through an asteroid belt. We have to make sure nothing damages the transport or attacks it." Brian said as they walked and he had a pained expression on his face when he had said 'escort'.
As their frames were disembarking from the carrier, Forci asked Asuka a question over the com.
"Asuka?"
"Ya?"
"Um... did you know that Lyon, ... was Brian?"
"Yep, sure did."
"I see... do you know why he as even at the Academy?"
"Yep."
"Well, spill it!"
"He said something about keeping an eye on me. I guess he didn't want me getting hurt. He sure is a nice guy for sitting quietly there that little private hell he had, just to make sure I was safe."
"He was there to keep an eye... on you? I.. see."
Forci turned off the com channel.
"Ok, girls." Brian said over the com, "There's the transport ship, keep your guard up. Even though no one could be that stupid as to get with in my sites just to attempt to steal some metatron. We may, have to blast some asteroids near the end of the belt though."
Ahead was a massive transport ship. It could have easily stored thousands of Orbital Frames or thousands of Evangelions.
"This is escort team Anubis." Brian announced over the com, "We are ready to proceed at any time."
"This is heavy transport ship Cato 3, to escort team Anubis. We are now heading out. Thank you for the assistance."
"No problem. I'm.glad. to be of assistance."
"Hey Brian." Asuka asked, "Why do they need such a large transport?"
"Well, lets see... they need room for the 500 metric kilotons of metatron, plus the Mining Mechs that will be needed to unload the metatron, but.. That's still not enough to transport in a heavy transport ship. They must be picking up a massive order after the delivery, lucky Dingo got suckered into guarding it after the delivery or else I might have had to do that to."
"500 kilotons!" Forci shouted, "That must be the shipment my father ordered for his factory."
"Well, that explains why this mission was assigned to me." Brian said off handedly, "I had been wondering about why I was ordered to do this escort mission, after I have expressed a, ..shiver dislike for escorting things."
"Why? This is kind of relaxing." Asuka commented.
"It's boring. I actually usually let my AI run these kind of missions and I sleep though them until something comes up."
The transport passed through the asteroid belt with out incident. Not a shot has fired.
"Well, I see your point Brian. That was really boring." Asuka said indignantly, "The only training that I got from that was how to avoid, slow moving objects that pose no threat what so ever."
"In coming transition from the factory on colony Seran T 1." Said the automated voice of the Anubis AI, "They claim to be under attack by a Zentrati War Ship, but I detect no such vessel in the area."
"Call to confirm it Anubuss, it's probably just a stupid prank."
"Yes sir.(various beeps and other computer noises).. Danger has been confirmed."
"What? Ok girls. Follow me, he have a factory to save from some type of war ship, Dingo's team will be arriving here to pick up the transport, so I'll leave a beacon with news of where we have gone. We shouldn't need any help though. Prepare to blow the living shit out of any enemy target that moves."
"All right!" cheered Asuka, "Now I can see how this armor really handles."

Sorry for the chapter split, there where technical difficulties with this chapter as a whole.
