Chapter Six- Storm Clouds Appearing
--Sunday of the same week--10:30a.m. Preventer Headquarters.
"It has been a month and a half since we all have been in the same room. I know of the grief that is still present due to Relena's absence from us, but we have other problems on our horizons. I wish for everyone to please focus on the problems that I will present and the person I will introduce as well." Lady Une said as she stood at the head of the meeting table once again. The Preventers and pilots present nodded their agreements and began to listen to Une more seriously.
After pressing a few buttons, Une recalled a familiar map though with a few differences.
"You recall the time we looked at this map and discussed what has going one? Well, things have begun to become more threatening. Satellites essential to the Mars communication grids have disappeared and there is no method of trying to reach them by shuttle, or by other means that is working. The President himself is becoming concerned with the events taking place and has asked for the evacuation of the Mars colony.
"I remember something of the sort when I was in the hospital. The men who went by shuttle to try to fix the satellites came back in comas and the doctors cannot find any medical reason why the men are that way." Preventer Ice said from beside Lady Une.
"Who are you and why do you know of that fact."
"I'm known as Preventer Ice, or Alandra. I have been a member of the team investigating the disappearances from almost the beginning, however, a dear friend requested I transport a family member just before her death. This is the reason I was not present and introduced at the first meeting."
"Who was this dear friend of yours that asked you to transport me and my family to Earth?" Millardo asked from down the table.
Alandra for a time just stared at him, before dropping her head and saying, "Sorry, I cannot say that. Just know that the friend cared enough for all of you to ask me to come out of my retirement."

"Do you, Alandra Kushrenada, swear to uphold the standards of the office of Foreign Minister, do everything within your power to keep peace among the EUSN, fulfill all of your duties with honesty and integrity?" The President of the EUSN, an elderly senator from Britain recited to Alandra who was holding both hands over a bible.
"I, Alandra Kushrenada, do swear to uphold all of which is required and necessary for the office of Foreign Minister with honesty and integrity and to do all of the duties in honor of the late Foreign Minster, Queen Relena."
"By the powers invested in me by the people of the EUSN, I hereby declare the office of Foreign Minister to be filled by one Alandra Kushrenada. Welcome.".
