Chapter 12, wow, I can't believe I got so far.
In addition, words of advice, Gene, please don't do something, like Uozumi would let you do, that would endanger the existence of this account.

"Seiko, what are you babbling about?" Sally gave Seiko a very annoyed look.
"Gene altering pills, perfectly unaddictive and tasteless, and guaranteed to make your own mother never recognize you," Seiko read aloud from the back of one of the bottles that he was holding. "You see, each of these bottles of pills cause different things to happen, and this bottle," Seiko held up on colored bright red. "Is the reversing pill, it'll reverse any affect of the other pills.
"You see, I bought these to help disguise us from the UESN," Seiko continued to ramble on. "Here, I'll prove how these work, I'm going to take one of these, and in twenty minutes come back here to see the miracle." Then Seiko herded them out of the briefing room then closed the door behind them.

Do you really think that Seiko's going nuts or he's telling the truth? Sally looked over at Mack as he made a mad dash from the crane lifting sight, to the side of his Gundam to the side of his Gundam, blow torch in hand.
To tell the truth, I don't really know, I did read an article in a news paper about some pills like that, but the way he's acting, just kinda scares me. Mack began to weld on a new weapon to his Gundam.
"Everyone, please report to the bridge, immediately," Seiko's voice boomed over the intercom.
***
"As you can see, these pills work wonders, they will help us sneak past any blockades, and never be recognized," Seiko allowed everyone to get a good look at his, brown hair, black eyes, and thin face. "Now, who wants, blue hair, and green eyes?" Seiko looked around hopefully, "Listen, if you don't want to, I understand, I just felt that a disguise would help seek past the UESN blockade." Seiko stopped, seeing Kat was fiddling with the radar station beside him on the bridge of the ship, "Kat, what the heck?"
"Well, remember a couple of hours ago, before you got these things out." Kat pointed at the pills, "you said that there was a blockade at 4565° OU, (*out, meaning out, radiating from the equator, into space) 45° UD (up and down, from the poles) and the forty-fifth sun side point. (This is to confusing even for me, who came up with this system to explain.) Well I decided to check the radar, to see if it was even there, and look." Kat pointed at the screen, revealing nothing remotely metallic in the area.
All Seiko did was sweat drop at his mistake, "I'll, uh, put these away…."

"Hey, Kat, are you done with the welding iron yet?" Mack shouted from atop his Gundam where he was desperately tying to rewire his Gundam's cockpit so that it wold control his Gundam's new weapon.
"No, I'm still trying to disable the self destruct devise, and you should too, Quatre will probably find out that the Gundams are gone and think that some radical terrorist group took them and then he'll blow them up." Kat tossed Mack an explosive neutralizer that would temporarily disable any explosives.
"Thanks," Mack attached the odd tube-like device to the end of his self-destruct switch. Do you think Kat's right? Mack asked Sally.
Yes, I don't think that Quatre would suspect us of taking back Gundam after what happened to my sister and Ariel. Now, would you give me that socket wrench you have there?
"Prepare to launch Gundam!" Seiko's voice boomed over the intercom, "I think that we've found that blockade!" Seiko came vaulting over the railing to the cargo area, and into his Gundam's cockpit.
"Mack," Sally's voice came over the intercom, between the Gundam, soft and caring, instead of ordering him around, as she usually liked to do.
"Yeah?" Mack looked at the picture in the corner of his screen.
"Uh…" then Sally's voice shifted back to an ordering gruffness, "Close your cockpit door before Seiko opens the hatch."
