Heero was the first to wake-up. Looking around the bridge he could see that his friends where out cold. Perfect soldier taking control, he forced his sore legs to hold him erect, and strode to the aft door. As if he had heard Heero's movements, a tall figure appeared in the portal.

"Zechs, we've gotten ourselves in deep," Heero sighs.

"So I've noticed," Zechs responds glancing out the window at a large fish that had found the persons inside suddenly of interest.

"You know that's not what I meant," Heero groans

Smirking Zechs responds, "Just trying to lighten you up"

"Zechs…"

"Yes?"

"Omea O Kusuro"

Zechs walks over to his sister, shaking his head; he could never get Heero to give him a smile. Reaching gently down, he shuck Relena to wake her

" Go away!"

"Relena It's…"

Twap "Damn! What was that for"

"Wha? Oh it's you Zechs, sorry"

Heero turned from watching Zechs trying to wake Relena and went around the room checking on everyone else; he was, after all, the captain. Deciding against waking Duo first, he went instead to Quatre and Dorothy, who had fallen on top of each other in a heap.

"Quatre; Dorothy."

"Wha?"

"Yawn who?"

"Good you're awake"

"Barely… what happened?"

"Well as far as I can make out we just did an impromptu terraformation of Siberia. Quatre, go with Dorothy and see if you can get some of the auto-guns on line"

"Right, come on Dorothy"

"Relena"

"Yes, Heero"

"Why aren't we all dead"

"I have no clue"

After awhile the entire crew was awake and in the bridge when the Mikanskvy Radar suddenly flared to life.

Duo read the reading aloud from the screen at his station.

"Large humanoid object approaching"

"Organic in structure…THE HELL!?!"

"Damn"

Heero left the bridge to go check on the mercurius shields of the ship, if that was organic; it would be even more helpless against I-particles than an MS. Stepping into the Control seat for the shield system, this was controlled much like the mobile-doll-control-system on Libra. Staring at the vid-screen, Heero waited for the strange purple creature to move closer

Shinji stared at what should have been snow-covered tundra, and saw instead, vast wastelands. The trail from the objects descent had led him to this lake. As he prepared to jump in, hundreds of small round disks shot out from the water and surrounded the lake. Back at the base Ritsuko and Misato where trying to make out the purpose of the disks when Shinji discovered it by accident. He had swung at one of the disks and to his surprise it had burnt and damaged the Eva's hand. He attacked the disk with his knife but still nothing.

Heero watched as the creature struck at the shields. Suddenly, Heero realized that if this thing came others could come if this one did not learn honor. Tapping the COM, he signaled the Winners in weapon ops.

"Quatre, are the weapons online"

"Yes all of them are"

"Hmm…Nimyru Ryukai"

"Oh hell! he's not…"

Suddenly the surface of the water boiled as thousands of Neo-Phoenix missiles hurtled to Eva 01. There was a blinding flash from the I-particle Warheads and the Eva was down

"Shinji are you there"

"Y-yes--Ritsuko?"

"Yes"

"You won't believe this, but I think my Eva um, lost control of some things out of shock"

"What?"

"I think it lost control of its bladder"

"Wow"

"I think I need to rest…"
