Please Note

The gouf in the story is a gouf variant A meaning that is one of the first gouf mass produstion models. The MS-07A had no vulcans in the finger tips of the left hand as did later models of the gouf. This gouf varian can be noted in game such as Mobile Suit Gundam Zeonic Front.

Also Lutenants usually get higher grade MSs than lower ranking officer such as ensigns. Jake's Zaku is equipped with either a 120mm machine gun or Rakten 880mm bazooka, his mobile suit also has an officer antenna. In later chapters his MS will be able to have equipped a 90mm or Gattlingcannon much like one that would be found on a gouf areial unit or custom model.

Re-enforced zaku 1s usually have medium shields instead of light ones (like those found on most zaku 2s) and have re-enforced armor plating.(hence re-enforced)

"It appears the federation is taking mobile suits more sereously, this must be a mass production model of the Gundam!" exclaimed an estatic Captain Shay. She let the mobile suit fall to the ground and demanded a salvage team get this new lesser gundam up and running. With this, zeon could get a better understanding of the real thing.

"Now sweep the city and make sure that all the defenses are immobilized or destroyed." called out Luetenant Blake, now raising his Rakaten, he began to thouroughly search the area. The airstips came under zeon control remarkably quickly. They did however have to worry about the Gms and type 61s arriving the next day.

The insurgents radioed command and told them the airstrips were now under zeon command and able to recieve troops, supplies, and to begin operation in the Japanse area. Command was pleased and sent in three GAWs loaded up with mobilesuits, tanks, and some infanty. With these new recources, Captain Shay ordered that Luetenant Blake set up a defensive peremeter around the city. The company settled down for a rest.

"Pilots scramble! Pilots scamble!"

Jake, not knowing what was going on, slipped on his boots and scurried into his zaku. Turning on his consol he hefted his 120mm machinegun and awaited instruction. Capatin Shay runs out of the barracks and calls out. "Whats going on Petty Officer?"

"The GMs found away around the water too early ma'am, they're imbound!"

"Damn!" Shay mumbled as she finished zippin the top of her blouse up.

As suddenly as they awoke and mobilized the GMs started moving in she added "Blake"

"Yes ma'am?"

"I want you in the new mobile suit.. I had our engineers working through the night to have this ready; and I want you to test it."

"Yes ma'am"he replied with a grin on his face. He hopped out of his zaku and lept into the feddie suit, and closed the hatch.

"Jims to right ma'am, I got em."said Jake as he used the beam rifle on the new suit. You could be sure the feddies didn't know what hit 'em. the beam cleaved the first one in the arm, with this Rivers continued to disarm the GM and sink a shell in the back of the GM's neck, cutting off the sensors from the pilot.

"Hmmmmmm...beam saber?"mumbled to himself with a hint of curiousness. He then pressed the button on his consol and the side of his MS's leg opened up revealing a hilt of a blade. He reached down and grasped it firmly in his mechanical hand, he pulled it out thinking "wow a boot knife." but as he removed it from it's sheath the side of his leg closed and the blade flicked on, "Whoa!" He then began to destroy the 61s with ease. For the fun of it he even stepped on a few.

"Ma'am look out!"
