Chapter 4
"Marimeia believe me, this isn't like when you were younger. I don't won't you
being corrupted again by another random group."
"Seize, stop it!" she said. "I'm not that little anymore. I have actually
devolved my views on my own and developed them for myself."
"But you only 19!"
"And you're only 25," she said about to laugh.
"If you need anything..!"
"Damn it, I can take care of myself contrary to what you believe. Seize better
get going. I have a whole lot of work to do."
Seize chuckled a little and said he'd stop by later before leaving for earth.
As he left the room, Marimeia looked to her papers. She stared at the high pile of paper
upon her desk in horror.
"How could anyone live like this?" She though to herself, "He had so much paper
work to do, any how, now I'm stuck with it all."She read over the first sheet of paper
discussing events that had fallen back several months ago. She read it over and at the
bottom paused to think
"Leader of colony, W4K6667, I never am going to be able to get used to this!"
She opened a drawer and pulled out a pen and began vigorously signing papers. She
carefully read over everyone and threw out the ones that no longer applied to the
current welfare of the colony. Marimeia looked up for a brief moment when she heard
knocking.
"Come in," she croaked not lifting her head to see who was there.
"Miss Marimeia," said a voice.
"Bill… what's up?" she said.
"They need you to make a speech to the public about Urena's shooting and his
death."
"You know as well as I do I can't say anything about who did it and that's what
they really want to know. You know that all that want is me releasing my feelings about
who I think..."
"I get the point..." he muttered under his voice. "At least talk to the public
saying you'll condemn who ever did this to our colony!"
"Will you begin to put something together? Release that to the press or something
." Marimeia said sounding a little annoyed.
"Would you be willing to speak at 19?"
"Fine! Look Bill, I'd love to talk but in all honesty I've got a lot of work
ahead of me. I been working for quite a while and there's still tons to do."
"Just put something like a speech together before 1900, ok?" he said walking out
the door.
"Wonderful!" she thought to herself. "Now, I have to talk to the public and many
of them don't trust me after Christmas Eve, so many years ago."Marimeia blinked and as
she did the phone rang. She picked it up and began to speak.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Marimeia, get down here now! We need you to see this in the video room." Seize said in a
worried tone.
"What's the matter Seize?" she asked him gently.
"Marimeia! Damn it! This isn't the time to be flirting with me!"
"Seize," she screamed, "I'm coming." Marimeia slammed the phone onto the hook and
grabbed her jacket of the back of the chair. She opened the door and ran down the hall
of the colony. She ran outside into the simulated snowstorm and ran across a parking
lot into another building. She opened the door and ran down the halls. She reached a
door marked with the number 456 and opened it.
"Marimeia, Thank god you're here!" Seize said. "Look at this monitor." Marimeia
glanced up towards the monitor and stared awe struck. She couldn't believe her eyes.
Mobile suites in Brussels.
"I thought all the Mobile Suites have been destroyed!"
"Guess not!"
"Heero and Relena and everyone." She croaked, "I've got to talk to the press now!
Things have become more serious." Marimeia said as she searched for a phone.
"Marimeia," Seize said handing her his phone. She quickly pressed a bunch of numbers and
waited patiently for a response.
"Bill, I need you to push ahead that press conference. The sooner the better."
She glanced at her watch. "Tell the press that I'm going to be speaking in fifteen
minutes."
"MAR.."
"Bill, listen I'll figure something out before then." She then hung up the phone.
Marimeia tossed Seize, his phone and ran out the door back to her office. She ran
through the halls watching others move around the complex.
"They have no idea that the Wars have started again." She thought to herself.
"What should I do?" She opened the door to her office and began to madly type. Words of
anger and horror flowed from her fingers onto the monitor. She stopped and started at
her words and pressed backspace until it was blank. She began to type again and
stopped again unpleased with her words. She heard knocking on her door.
"Miss Marimeia, you're going to be late." Someone told her.
"Look, I rather be late than have this speech be a failure,"
"I know as well as anyone else that I'm better off not typing this up and doing it off the top of my head. The press will eat me alive though with insults. Damn people"
She stood up and proceeded down a long hall way and into a door. As she walked in she heard the mumblings of the press. "Marimeia wants to instate her autocracy. She's the one responsible for Urena's death."
"Marimeia," she heard as she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Go and ahead and listen to the mumbling of the press." Marimeia bit her lip. She could not get rid of that man who still loathed her for giving up on her attempted Operation Meteor.
"Ventire, how did you get in here?" she asked coldly. He flashed a tag in front of her. Ventire Orleans, press pass.
"Who the hell would ever hire you?" she croaked beginning to walk away.
"You know we former radicals have quite the opportunities." He began to walk with her.
"I suggest you leave me alone or I'll…"
"You'll what? Send the security out? I'm here legally, remember?"
"Go to hell, Ventire," she barked as she slammed him against the wall and opened a door and slammed it in his face as he tried to harass her more.
"Something the matter?" said a man she had never seen before from behind his desk.
"Excuse me, sir." She said kindly. "A certain person is really annoying me and
refuses to respect me." She glanced at her watch and prayed that Wuefi had taken the hint
and walked to the pressroom. She opened the door and proceeded down with Ventire,
nowhere to be seen. Opening a door, she saw a current that hid the crowd of reporters. She bit her lip knowing she had come to a turning point in her life. Seize walked up behind her and whispered words of encouragement.
"Thank you Seize," she said kindly. "…but you know I'll be fine."
"Marimeia," Seize said cutting her off. He looked into her eyes. Marimeia looked
into his eyes. Each other became rapped in a trance staring at one another. Marimeia
broke her trance.
"Seize," she said gently as he grabbed her hand. "Let me go, for a moment. We
will talk after." Seize frowned but let her go on to stage, watching her from behind.
He smiled as she began to speak.
"Good Evening," she said as she boomed in her powerful voice. "Earlier today,
Colony President Urena Sarfina was shot. He was rushed to Urea Major Hospital and was
failing as he entered the ER. He died as the doctors attempted to remove the bullet.
He was a kind and loving man who would do anything for this and any other colony so long as it secured our welfare. For those of you unfamiliar with me, I am Marimeia Kushrenada Une, Colony Vice President. I am currently running the colony and will be completing Urena's term."
"Contrary to what many members of the press have stated, I have no wish to change the
colony into an autocracy or any other thing. The peace that was so difficult to obtain
will not be shattered by me or anyone associated with me. I have heard accounts that
the press is blaming myself and others for his death and I like to inform you that his
death was not our fault. As of this point, we have reason to suspect that the people who
shot Urena were connected to Heero Yui's shooting in Brussels. We would like to inform
the populous of the colonies and the earth-sphere that our hearts are with Heero Yui and
Urena Sarfina. Several minutes ago, I was informed that in the city of Brussels that
several new mobile suits have been spotted. I suspect they are also connected with
today's events." She looked around the audience and spotted Seize standing in the back
smiling. She took a deep breath and continued.
"I as most of the entire world believed that all mobile suits had been destroyed. We must find their creators and punish them for creating an illegal weapon. My heart is with humanity tonight, hoping and praying to prevent war from sparking once again. God Bless Humanity and Good Night." She paused for a moment and heard the press ask her questions but they all seemed fussed together in a blob of sound.
Marimeia had a sudden felt her stomach begin to drop. She knew something had just happened somewhere that made things much more complicated. She stopped dead in her tracks as she saw someone enter the back of the room and whisper something to Seize. Seize swam through the sea of press member still nagging Marimeia for questions. He after a minute of trying made his way to the front of the stage. He climbed up and coaxed Marimeia off stage.
"Marimeia," he sighed attempting to tell her the truth. "In Brussels… the mobile suits have been…"
She ran into a room across the hall with a TV on a news network. Seize soon made his way into the room as Marimeia stared at the screen in wonder.
"A Gundam 06? It can't be possible."
"Marimeia believe me, this isn't like when you were younger. I don't won't you
being corrupted again by another random group."
"Seize, stop it!" she said. "I'm not that little anymore. I have actually
devolved my views on my own and developed them for myself."
