Hanna runs down to the docking bay as the gundam is retrieved, hair flying around here as she nears the 0-g section of the docking bay. Kim follows right behind Hanna, medical staff in tow as the Gundam is finally settled into place. Hanna disregards the personnel as she jumps up to the cock pit and hitting the emergency eject button. She hangs onto the lip for where the cock pit opens and waits as the prone form of Serenity spills out.

Medical personnel all crowd about, medical supplies and a stretcher are both brought out as the limp form of Serenity is taken to the infirmary. Hanna mean while stands there trembling before Kim comes up to rest his hands over her shoulder. Her eyes sweep over the interior of the mecha looking at the blood that coats the back wall and floor. Her shoulders shake as she grips Kim's hand, frame tense before she explodes with a wrenching sob of worry and frustration.

"That idiot! How could she do something like that? She was bleeding too heavily and she knew it. Why does she do this? Why does she think that she won't die if she continues to push herself?"

She seethes as she reaches up to squeeze Kim's hand before following the medical team. Kim himself holding a grim look on his face as he trails after the woman he loves, an unhappy suspicion worming its way into his thoughts as to why Serenity does so much.

Relena sighs for what seems like the fiftieth time as she stares out into space. She does smile as she watches Catherine and Noin playing a game of cards across from her. She threads her fingers in front of her before turning and looking at the others.

"Do you think it was foolish for me to do what I did?"

She asks for the first time.

Hilde smiles softly before moving over to sit next to Relena.

"Wasn't that why you took us with you?"

She asks with a smile before Dorothy comes to sit in the seat opposite of Relena and nod in agreement with Hilde.

"We are here and if you get in trouble then we will be able to help you out of it."

She says with confidence.

Relena smiled gratefully before looking out of the craft window "Still I wonder if the guys have figured out were we are by now. After all we are talking about ex-Gundam pilots..." She trails off before looking at her watch, just two more hours before they reach their destination. Before she can slip into her brooding again a gentle hand lays it's on her shoulder. Relena turns to offer a smile to the last woman in there group. Sally smiles back before holding up her own set of cards "Care to join me in a card game to pass the time?"

Hero grits his teeth as he tried to track the course of Relena's shuttle again to double check the destination. He sighed before looking at Duo who was having about the same luck finding out if the resource satellite was real or a cover for something else. Dou leans back in his chair to look at Hero with a slightly irritated expression.

"Man this bites, for all looks and appearances it is real. Company, workers, pay, shipments, everything is legit. However I still can't find out just what they are producing there."

He sighs again and leans back father in his chair to look at the ceiling.

Trowa leans against the wall at the other side of the computer lab in the preventors building before standing and walking over to take Duo's place. After a few moments he nods and speaks quietly.

"I think it is time to call Quatre."

Duo blinks before sitting up and looking at the screen his eyes slowly widen as he reads the news file.

N Colonies Destroyed in a freak Asteroid Storm.

In the month of February there was a freak accident that allowed a few rouge asteroids from the asteroid belt to drift into N colony space. It isn't determined yet what caused the accident but reports say that all colonies in the N area were destroyed. There are reports of only one survivor from the colonies themselves along relatives and a class of students that were on a field trip has survived the tragedy by being in the L colony region. Farther reports indicate that the lone survivor was in a shuttle within viewing distance when the asteroids collided. The names and information of all surviving members of the N colonies will not be released to the public it has been said.

Dou whistles as he reads the information till he stops at the location of the colonies before looking back at the log file for the location of the resource satellite. After a few moments he curses and looks at Trowa's retreating back.

"That it, isn't it? What we kept looking at but not thinking about."

He calls to the former Heayarms pilot. Trowa replies with a lift of his hand and Dou starts a new search on the computer for any information on the N colonies.

Hero meanwhile kept checking and reaffirming the departure and arrival of Relena's shuttle along with any other craft that might be on an interception path. He glares at the screen as he makes sure to halt all flights that are going towards the same destination before sitting back and filling to prep a shuttle for them all to follow the Vice Foreign Minister and her escorts. He looks at Duo and inclines his head towards the sent arrangements.

"We leave in four hours."

The former Wing pilot informs the previous DeathSyth pilot before shuts off his computer and walks towards the door before stopping just shy of it. He turns again to look at Duo before speaking coldly once more.

"Get Wufie to come as well, Sally went with them form what I have seen of the departure data. Plus I have a feeling we are all going to want to go to this."

He walks out before Duo stands and exits the room as well, hands behind his head as he leaves. He shakes his head as he closes the door and locks it with the access code.

"Man he is never going to lighten up."

The young man mutters before walking down the hall, his cell phone already out and dialing Wufie's number.
