Chapter 13
"Commander! They've found the tape!" reported a soldier, saluting his commander.
"Good." the dark haired man dismissed his soldier, sitting down at his desk. That camera surveillance system worked successfully! he thought with smile on his face, Now I can get those damn Gundam pilots back for what they did to Whitefang.
"Sir," a soldier ran walked into his office, "a set of five signs showed up briefly on the radar, then disappeared." the young man stood in the middle of the floor straight as a statue, saluting his Commander.
"They're here." the Commander smiled, "Prepare for battle, make it quick. Expect an attack within the next 48 hours. Don't make preparations obvious."
"Sir!" the soldier nodded, "Anything else Commander?" he asked, turning to go.
I wonder how they found the location of this base, thought the Commander, I'm sure we aren't that obvious, and we're far away from the other bases. Could there be records of this base being built on any Whitefang or OZ disks? he wondered. Looking up at the soldier he nodded, "Tell the guard in Sector 8 to ready the Gemini."
"Gemini Sir?" the soldier asked.
"A new MS we have. I plan on capturing a pilot or two to repay them for what they did to Whitefang and Lieutenant Lieutenant." answered the Commander, "They're the electric suits. You've seen them in action."
The soldier nodded, obviously having no clue, "Hai Commander! Will that be all Sir?"
The Commander got up from his desk and waved the young soldier out of his office. He paused at a window to look outside at the barren desert landscape and walked out of his office. The man walked down the hall, looking in on the MS in preparations for the upcoming battle, opening automatic doors with his security pass, greeting guards and giving miscellanies orders to some soldiers who looked like they had nothing to do.
Opening a computerized door, he typed in a code slipped his pass, and walked into the main control room flanked by two of his soldiers. A few soldiers turned to greet him as e made his way to the main telescope.
All the Colonies will join us. he thought smugly as he peered through the telescope at Colony L1, I can blow up three if the battle gets rough, he continued, Colony L1, L3, and L4. I won't have time to blow up anymore if they're half as good as I've heard.
"Sir!" asked a soldier on the computers, "Colony L1, L2, L3 and L4 are in range of our missiles. Should I target 1 through 3?" he asked, typing in the commands as he went.
"Not Colony L2!" the Commander boomed and the soldier quickly changed his commands, "L2 will be blown up as a very last resort."
"May I ask why, Sir?" the soldier, finished typing in the commands, turned to him questioningly.
"Never blow up ones home." the Commander merely stated, his dark hair shielding his eyes.
The soldier looked confused, "Yes Commander Shitaihoshi." he nodded and turned back to his work.
