I do not own Gundam Seed anime, manga or any other materials.

The battle was not over, a colony was destroyed. The Archangel had the tough decision to either go directly to the moon or try and used the wreckage to hid from the ZAFT ships and plot to go somewhere else. The ship had no identification within the Earth Alliance. This could mean that even if they made it to the moon, their allies would see this ship as a possible enemy ship. Natarle was sure that she could send a message in a probe. Mu shut down that idea, if the prove was seen as a hostile weapon, they would destroy it without even examining it. They had to deal with the missing registration of the ship, and that had to be done as soon as possible. Mu suggested that they head for Artemis. The base had been mostly ignored by the ZAFT forces, and it had the most impressive defense system. The umbrella was believed to be the reason ZAFT did not attack in the first place. They could use a terminal at the base to register the ship with the Earth Alliance. Murrue only had two problems. The first was that the base was an Euroasian base. They had a long history of hatred towards the personnel of the Atlantic Federation. They had to be careful with the data in of the Archangel and the Strike. The last problem was Kira, how could they explain his presence to the officers of that base. To explain to them that the ship's only mobile suit was being piloted, by a young coordinator. The thing that they hated even more than the Atlantic Federation. How could she keep him from harm. Mu simply got up and went towards the exit. As he reached the door he looked at the worried face of Murrue Ramius. "Look he is a mercenary. I say we use his fame as a mercenary and make it look like he is only doing it for a large paycheck. This might even make them think that they could hire him. We ask Kira to fake a contract to gain access to their computers. He registers this ship, and finds out what their real goals are. This could be an easy way to have some way to defend ourselves should they try and kill us and steal both the mobile suit and the ship." Murrue did not like it one bit, but saw the logic behind it. She would only agree as soon as she was able to talk to Kira about it, and if he agreed to it. They would use the idea, but only if he agreed to it.

Kira was busy doing his best to improve the efficiency and power of each of the packs for the strike. The nanites were used on each of the weapon packs and in matter of minutes they had analyzed the packs using the data from the mobile suit. Each pack was partially broken down to pieces and reconstructed. The Sword pack, the blade of the sword was made lighter and quicker, the boomerang was made a dual boomerang. The launcher pack was improved in range and energy efficiency. The main weapons could fire more times, and the energy cost was significantly reduced. The Aile pack was changed most of all. The beam rifle was upgraded to be able to increase power, accuracy and energy consumption. It had almost unlimited shot, and the only way that it could be beat was that the Phase Shift Armor was forced to power down. The shield became able to reflect energy weapon attacks and could be made to retract into the mobile suit arm and take the form of a single gauntlet. The gauntlet would automatically pull a beam sword from the Strike, and improved the handling of the weapon without having to lose accuracy on the rifle. The last improvement was the thruster unit, it allowed full flight control, and reduced energy needed to maintain flight. For some weird reason the nanites did something also to the Gundam, they installed on the Gundam was what they had been long intended. The hive shield was completed ahead of schedule and the Gundam was the very first unit to have the system installed. The nanited made microscopic clusters of nanites around the outside of the mobile suit. They would handle defense and repairs from that moment on. Chief Murdock did not mind one bit, for him having one less thing to repair was not a negative situation. Kira did warn him that if he or anyone attacked the Strike physically, meaning hit it with a large enough of impact, the nanites would attack the person who attacked the Strike. The nanite colony on the Strike considered it their host, and they would always defend their host.

This made him ask Kira the obvious question. Did this mean that they would attack the enemy too? By developing and constantly upgrading the Strike's weapons that was exactly what they were doing. But if a mobile suit hit the strike, say with an axe or a simple punch they could eat the mobile suit, they would have to have physical contact and even with laser swords physical contact between mobile suits was rare. Mobile suits were originally designed for long range combat to begin with.

Little did he know that there were some pilot's who used their mobile suits to physically beat down, and crush their enemy. A rupture in the cockpit was more than enough to cause the mobile suit to be disabled if not destroyed out in space.

As Kira left to have a light lunch, when he reached the ship's dinner it was a surprise to see Murrue having the same idea. She was having a light salad, and Kira decided to try to have some rice, and what he believed to be meat loaf. "So Kira, done with the maintenance of the Strike? Because if you are I have a few things to discuss in private." Murrue asked Kira as he began to have his lunch. Kira could see no reason why not. He was having a rather lovely time with Murrue as they each ate their lunch. As they were finished they placed their things in the ship's dishwasher. As they left he asked a question that made Murrue blush, "Just how private will this meeting be?" She kissed him on his lips, "Just the two of us. Why do you want to do something?" He quickly offered a nice full body massage, his reason was that she must be stressed. Murrue was very happy to accept the considerate gesture by her very loving boyfriend.

As they reached the room, that also close to her office. He opened the door for her. She got inside and he followed behind her. "So what's the situation?" Kira asked wanted to get the business part of the discussion over quickly. Murrue explained what she, Natarle and Mu had discussed and Kira had heard it all. He too knew that the Archangel did not have a registration with the Earth Alliance Forces. But he made a few amendments to their idea, first if they were attacked near the Artemis base he would have to either figure a way for Mu to be able to pilot the Strike, and he the Zero. He quickly told her that the officers would never believe that he was the mobile suit pilot. Murrue countered that argument and told him that it would make the fact that he knew the mobile suit so well an extra reason to try and recruit him on their side. He did see the point, but then he would put a good enough of a show. He also told her that the Strike had a rather personal activation code, one that he alone knew. The naturals would never be able to hack it in a million years. Murrue was impressed with her boyfriend attention to detail. "Now Kira could the EVOLT system be used on other things besides the Strike?" Murrue asked, and Kira told her that the nanites would have to be given time to digest the information and to assimilate into the ship. It would take at least a month given the differences in size and systems.

"Well since we are done with the business aspect jump on that bed, and get ready. I will make sure you feel a hundred times better in no time at all." Murrue was happy to hear that but she did not really need to be told this twice. She had begun taking her shirt off as soon as the business segment of the discussion was over. In no time at all she was in her underwear, and doing a very provocative pose on the bed, "Like what you see, or is that a wrench in your pocket?" Kira had completely forgotten about that part as he came to her and began doing his best massage he could. She was again surprised, but also found the intimate touching to be a bit of a problem. In her mind there was an idea that kept repeating, "If this gets any better, I won't be able to control myself. If he can do this with just his hands, I wonder what else he can do?" Kira was always focused on the task at hand, and this was no exemption. He was focused on making her feel happy, relaxed, and completly stress free. His problem was that he did not have time to go to the infirmary to pick up a few condoms, and if she did not take her birth control. The current situation was not the ideal for starting a also wanted to wait till they were married. "Kira do you happen to have any condoms on you? Cause I haven't had to take a birth control pill in a long time." Murrue asked. Kira knew that the action was not going to go further unless.. "No, sorry my love. I don't but I have a suggestion. Why not use the other entry port?" Murrue blushed at what he had said, Kira did have a point, and she was technically a virgin there.

"Well, as long as you are gentle, sweet, and remember that if you do. You are only mine." Murrue told him in the most seductive tone she could. He held her close, "Gentle and sweet are I always? What do you mean yours only? I was sure that had already been decided when we decided to formally announce our relationship. Why would I cheat on the beauty that is in my hand at this moment?" Murrue kissed him on the lips and the kiss made it quite clear that he was going to have a very nice time.

Murrue was busy taking off his clothes and he was busy trying his best to unlock and remove her bra. Darn this hooks, that was what he was thinking. He had no problem taking out enemies in a mobile suit, reprogram an OS like a champ. But to take her bra in this situation? He was having a hard time, By the time she got his shirt and top part of his underwear off, he had finally managed to get her bra off. "He either never slept with anyone else before or he really is excited about our first time. Either way it makes me feel quite happy." Murrue was thinking as she touched his muscular chest and finely defined abs. The best thing about Zero Gravity was that switching positions was effortless. But the idea was interrupted as he massaged her breasts, and gently kissed her nipples. She could not stand it and kissed him. "If you are so good with just that? How are you with the rest." He merely winked and told her that she would have to wait and see. They switched to a position that was commonly known as 69 and he got to work on her very wet remaining piece of underwear. She was busy with the belt, pants, and briefs. After a few moments they each where staring at each others parts. He did not for long before he dove right in and began kissing and licking her in a most intimate way. She was moaning as she was starting to touch his rather impressive tool. They each took their time, making each other feel more, and more passionate and more pleasure. She had to make sure his tool was really well lubed, considering where it was going to go into.

After her first orgasm she was the one to climb on him, with her on top. As she pushed as hard as she could he pushed his tool deeper and slowly helping his beloved. After she got used to his tool they began to get faster, harder, and felt even better. After nearly 10 minutes they each had an organism that they each would always remember. "What a waste of perfectly good ammo." Murrue told him as they held each other close in the afterglow. "Murrue I would be very happy to have a family with you. But wouldn't you agree that this is not the best situation for us to start a family?" Murrue kissed her considerate lover, "Yes, I agree. But first you have to marry mister!" He did a salute, "Aye, Aye Captain!"

"Where is Kira and the Captain, who is going to decide what to do?" Natarle told Mu as they passed the door to her quarters. Mu had excellent hearing, much to his discomfort this time. He clearly heard the moans, and noises of a couple doing things that would make most porn stars blush. "Oh, I think we should really leave the two love birds alone and set a course for Artemis. I don't think we will see those two for the rest of the day." Natarle looked absolutely pissed. "Honestly, don't you get married, before you have your honeymoon?" She left a rather confused Mu La Flaga following her to the bridge as she mutters things along the lines of injustice, and lucky bitch.
