Chapter 3
1 The Threat is Discovered
It had been a long day for Trowa. Long tours of almost every room in here and now he had to get into the hangers to see what the heck is in there. Tomorrow would be just as bad but if he did not find anything in the hangers he would have to look in the central computer located right in the middle of the base. Trowa expected to find something in the hanger as he walked down the long hallway that lead to the Main Hanger that was closed off to almost everyone. The only people that could go in were top officials and Trowa was sure he would find what he was looking for in there.
Trowa was dressed up quit nicely. The suit made him look as thought he was a high commanding officer and the accent that he practice made him sound as though he was from one of the big money making companies from Russia. His new name was Val Cazacion of the company named Freelance Enterprises, supposedly a very good supporter of this company.
Finally Trowa had figured out the company's name, Oblivion. Oblivion was a metal supplier to normal people but it seems that Oblivion was OZ's metal supplier for their illegal mobile suit production. The only thing was that Oblivion was the leader of OZ and was just covering its ass by making it look as though the company just sold them metal when actually they were just sending them supplies and sending the money in a loophole. First the money would be secretly be sent to OZ, Next OZ would buy the goods legally, After that the money went back to Oblivion, and finally the money was again secretly sent back to OZ.
This is were Freelance Enterprises came in. Freelance was an accounting business led by the best that Russia and surrounding countries could offer. The reason why Oblivion needed them is for the secret sending of money back to OZ and the paper work. Any other company would have snitched but in this company bribes were as good as gold. Each time they sent money illegally to OZ there was an extra amount which would make Freelance Enterprise make the transfer legal while also making it all hush hush. Freelance Enterprises also took care of the documents that made it so that it only looked like metal was being transported when actually anything could have been sent.
Trowa was amazed at how good this company was. Oblivion was known around the world and space. Oblivion was the one metal company that supplied metal for almost all of the colonies in space and it was always known to most people on earth for good prices on high quantities of metal. Who would have ever thought Oblivion could be the one company behind OZ and who knows what else? It took Trowa a long time at Tora 1 to finally understand why all the legal documents showed Oblivion sending tons and tons of metal to OZ. The only thing that caught his eye is when Freelance Enterprises came up. After looking up Freelance it all kind of pieced together. Oblivion was not only sending metal but was sending fully made mobile suits and all Freelance had to do is convert the weight of the suits into tons and say it was metal.
Trowa made it to the door and saw that a guard stood at the other side of the door on the inside of the hanger. Trowa straightened his tie and made a last minute check of himself. Trowa opened the door and immediately the guard looked. "Are you the Freelance Enterprises representative?" Asked the guard looking at Trowa's suit and briefcase.
"Yes, I am." Answered Trowa in a very Russian accent.
"Okay I will take you to the new suit." Said the guard giving Trowa a following me gesture as he started to walk. Trowa followed without a word checking out the position of every camera. Trowa and the guard came up to another metal door like at the entrance but this one did not have windows and it needed a special code. The guard never even tried to hide Trowa's field of vision. 498765 were the numbers that the guard pushed in and now Trowa knew how to get into the most highly secured part in the base.
When the door opened and Trowa walked in he could not believe his eyes. The new mobile suit looked like Wing Zero with a few altercations but its main body and guns were the same. Its differences were quit noticeable. The eyes were tilted to make it look mad and they were also glowing red. The chest had a huge picture of a skull on it and so did the kneecaps and very top of the head.
"Ah, Val you seem amazed." Said a man that walked up to Trowa in a suit.
"Yes well it is quit impressive." Said Trowa looking into the man's eyes.
"Yes it is isn't it, Oh please excuse my bad manners my name is John Raner." Said the man smiling and extending his hand.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Raner." Said Trowa as he shook John's hand.
"Just call me John." Said John smiling.
"So you are the leader of Oblivion that everyone always talks about?" Said Trowa putting on a fake smile. To Trowa this guy seemed wrong.
"Yes, But you must get a tour of this great mobile suit and meet the pilot." Said John giving Trowa a follow me gesture. They went up an elevator that led to the top of the mobile suit. Trowa followed John to the cockpit and expected it to be much like his own cockpit in his mobile suit but to Trowa's surprise and complete dismay it had the Zero system in it.
"This has the Zero system." Blurted Trowa out loud
"Yes, you know of it." Said John with a surprised looked
"Yea, but not very well all I know is that no one seems to be able to control it." Said Trowa putting on a straight face.
"Well our pilot can." Said John smiling as Trowa gave him a bewildered face.
"Yea, and I think I do pretty well with it." Said a blonde haired 20 year old that seemed to just appear in front of Trowa.
