CHAPTER 2
Jenica opened her eyes hoping that the night before was nothing but a dream, however she awoke to find her neck sore from leaning on the car door and the boy next to her still driving. His face looked tired and his eyes seemed to show pain and hurting inside of him.
"Do you want me to drive?" she asked and she shook his head letting is dark brown long hair brush his nose.
"Thanks for last night" she said and his eyes looked over at her for a split second.
"My mission was completed," he said quietly.
"What mission?" she asked and he looked over at her quickly.
"Look all I can tell you is what I am allowed, you will be given the full details when we reach our destination" he said and she nodded, anything was better than nothing right now. "Have you heard of the OGA and the ESA?"
"Vaguely" she answered.
"Well you know how both of them are after the domination of the earth and how the colonies have signed a treaty with the ESA?" Heero asked.
"Yes, and how the ESA president wants to rule the planet by slavery and how the OGA believes in peace between colonies and the earth" Jenica told all she knew and Heero nodded.
"Well you remember during AC 195 - 197, how OZ and the colonies were fighting by use of gundams?"
"Yes"
"Well it turns out that the gundams have been rebuilt by the OGA," he said turning a corner and squinting into the morning light. "But there is a problem, the ESA have a new gundam, apparently the parts are built from a mineral that was found from material from an asteroid that hit 2 years ago"
"So?" Jenica said shrugging.
"This gundam is stronger than all of the gundams put together, it could bring about destruction of the earth and colonies if it becomes operational" he said seriously and she gasped quietly.
"But it is not a problem if it isn't operational is it?" Jenica asked and Heero stopped the car outside of a tall high-rise building that was shrouded by dark rain clouds.
"That is all I can let you know, you will be informed fully by Captain Kenton" Heero said getting out of the car. When Jenica stepped out of the car and took a glimpse of the OGA HQ she was almost stunned.
It had to be at least 6 floors high with stonewalls and high fences to keep out unwanted trespasses. It could almost be a castle as it had an eerie feeling about it.
Jenica cautiously walked along the cobble stone pathway into the huge building with wall-sized vents for windows. The fans in the vents spun slowly around and around and her eyes went all weird so she looked away and Heero nodded towards the building to get her to hurry up.
She quickly followed through the large steel doors as Heero led her quickly up the concrete stairs that wound up a large single stone pillar, Jenica had to jog to keep up with him as he led her straight to another set of doors down a long hallway. He knocked twice before letting himself in.
A black chair was facing out a vented window and it spun around to see an older looking man about fortyish with contour lines showing his age. He frowned slightly and Jenica felt somewhat intimidated by his appearance.
"Is this the one we have been looking for?" he asked and Heero nodded once.
"She fits all the descriptions we have been given and shows signs of the genetic" he paused glancing at her. "Mutation" he said and she felt the words hit her. Usually they bounced back off her but everyone of his words touched her differently, she was aware that she felt strongly for him but assured herself that it was just lust.
"Yes we will need to run some tests to be sure that we have the right one" he looked over with her with sharp dark eyes. "We will need you to sign some consent forms miss." he waited for her to finish the sentence for him.
"Ilmeque" she answered and he nodded.
"We need you to sign these" he handed her a piece of paper with small black writing and a pen. She looked down and tapped her pen on the paper.
"What am I signing for?" she asked and he appeared shocked and Heero looked over at her sharply.
"Excuse me?" he snapped slightly stunned.
"You heard me? What is going on?" she snapped back.
"She just lost her family, please excuse her Captain" Heero whispered and he nodded.
"Not to worry" the Captain said lighting a cigar and drawing heavily in the smoke. He breathed out slowly standing and facing the window. "Miss Ilmeque, I am sure that you have been briefed on the OGA and ESA ongoing debate so I will keep the simple. You are a very important part of a project designed by the ESA who are nothing more than a bunch of "communists" as they call themselves that want nothing more than enslaving all the people on this earth much like the times of the pyramids and dark ages. This may seem strange to you but the events of World War 2 are reoccurring with the ESA general being a very good public speaker much like his idol Hitler. We, the OGA, wish to continue pacifism between all of us humans and continue on with a democratic government" he paused drawing in another deep drag of his cigar breathing out slowly before knocking the ash into a tray.
"Now as you know the gundams were destroyed last year in a hope to demonstrate peace. However before we knew it the ESA had begun development effectively and suddenly we were faced with a new army of mobile suits similar to our designs that creates an idea of someone giving out the blue prints. On the other hand we got wind of another model being made. This model was unlike our wing zero system it requires a special stream of DNA that required almost every recessive gene on record because in this gundam the pilot must synchronize with the super computer on the inside or it will not move" he put out his cigar and looked hard into Jenica's eyes.
"You do realize that you are this genetic phenomenon and with you just sitting there in that cockpit they can destroy everything. You don't even need to pilot it all it requires is your body" he said and she opened her mouth.
"One thing, why didn't they just use biogenetics and create another me?" she asked and he nodded.
"With every gene together it is like wool, a mess that isn't strong but when a special chemical that can not be composed is added it becomes like steel and that is what you are, a chemical reaction that they need to have world domination. Now the question is will you let us protect you and the rest of us from them?" he looked down at the paper and she looked across the Heero who looked away from her immediately. She lowered her hand and singed elegantly dropping the pen and breathing hard.
"OK could you please escort miss Ilmeque to the labs where they can begin the tests" he said looking away again and they both left. After a few seconds of walking in silence Jenica faced Heero.
"Did I do the right thing?" she asked and he stopped.
"I am not in a place to say," he said and she stopped him by grabbing his arm she looked at him long and hard. "I think you did but this just means that they will put you in a nice big room for years on end and you will spend your life in a quarantine if you are the right person" he said.
"What if I don't want that," she said.
"You signed and you might not even be the right person" he finished continuing to walk on. She jogged to catch up with him.
"Do you think I am?"
"Once again I am not allowed to answer"
"Stop this crap and tell me," she snapped and he looked at her for a long moment.
"I don't want you to be" he said and felt like kicking himself for saying it.
"Why?" she asked.
"How many questions can you have?" he asked scratching his head. "You see if you are this person I wont ever see you again because I will be assigned to a new mission. If you aren't I will get to see you for sure" he said and walked quickly away feeling embarrassed.
"Do you think I am?" she asked again and he put his hand on a door handle.
"They said the one would have visible differences from the others. They said that they would have a unique phenotype, I had a hunch it was you because your eyes are unlike anyone else's I have seen before. Then again I thought it was your sister but then I realised that you had impeccable balance and reflexes that makes you such a good acrobat you have skills that others would need to be taught how to do. I know because I have seen it. I have trained my whole life and you looked like you could just do all of your moves from the beginning" he stopped and led her into the room.
"Goodbye Jenica, it was a pleasure" he said and shook her hand.
"See you soon" she smiled and he shook his head.
Jenica opened her eyes hoping that the night before was nothing but a dream, however she awoke to find her neck sore from leaning on the car door and the boy next to her still driving. His face looked tired and his eyes seemed to show pain and hurting inside of him.
