In the second most secure sealed depot ever constructed, which just happens to be in the Earth nation of New ORB, the Gundam-not-quite-yet-jacker known as Green Machine was facing his own problems.

"Saying this again. Manual Override OS Shinn Asuka turn on!"

…

"Hi, this is Mayu. Shinn is busy having flashbacks. Please try again later, or leave a message after the beep. Thank you!"

…

*beep*

Machine hung his head, and dejectedly spoke into his transmitter.

"Yeah…the manual override isn't working for me. I think the OS is defective."

"Manual Override OS Cagali Yula Athha. This is Gold Control, SENTINEL launching!"

The masked man, inside the YGDL-X07 SENTINEL, launched into open space from the moon base. He was happy to see that another Mobile Suit was deployed from the other side of the moon to stop him.

"What do you think you're doing? I can't let you defi-"

"Mute."

Control silenced the OS orb and deployed the two dozen multi-laser Dragoon drones the SENTINEL came equipped with. The Dragoons are essentially 24 laser-totting disco balls that can flit around with more grace, speed, and annoyance than outer space mosquitos. Their firepower was nothing completely outlandish, but could cut apart any standard space vessel within seconds. They quickly dispersed and formed a defensive matrix of lasers around him as the shields on either arm of the Mobile Suit activated. When energized, the SENTINEL's twin shields made HPSA look like plaster. The SENTINEL was built to be the paragon of defense, shining a radiant gold to match its OS orb.

Coming around from the other side of the moon was a Mobile Suit glimmering a deep purple. Distinct from other Mobile Suits, the YGDL-X05 EQUILIBRIUM has no legs. They were sacrificed in order to attach a conical honeycomb of Hyper-Antimatter Warp Torpedo silos beneath the Mobile Suit's thorax, to complement the two rocket launchers slung over the Mobile Suit's shoulders. Each torpedo on its own had enough destructive power to completely destroy your average costal city, and the Equilibrium could fire them just under 12 times per second. Unfortunately, only 72 of these torpedoes were ever created. Fortunately the EQUILIBRIUM carried them all. Besides the torpedoes, the EQUILIBRIUM's armament of rockets and mines would make any enemy think twice before deciding to blow the Mobile Suit up.

And obviously the EQUILIBRIUM's hull was designed to resist the simultaneous detonation of its entire payload. You know, just in case that ever happened.

The pilot of the EQUILIBRIUM is only known as Agent Zero. As the very best pilot of the Earth Forces, singular, she was trained to fly this Mobile Suit for exactly the reason that was happening right now. Her pink bangs swung as she spoke down to the purple OS orb bobbling about on the control panel.

"Fire disruption rounds. Take out those Dragoons!"

"My pleasure!"

Several missiles launched from the EQUILIBRIUM, dead set on exploding in the SENTINEL's face. The defensive Dragoon grid parted specifically to allow them to do so. The SENTINEL's shields held firm as explosions didn't echo through soundless space, and their momentum simply pushed the golden Mobile Suit towards Earth.

"I don't know why, but the Sentinel isn't picking up my calls."

"It doesn't matter, that thing is toast. Oh…wait, evasive action!"

Zero called the order as the Dragoons returned fire. Lasers filled the not-air and aimed to pierce the purple Mobile Suit straight through. Ms. Purple, being the sensible OS orb it is, decided the best course of evasive action was to blow up a Magnet Pulse that was still docked firmly inside the EQUILIBRIUM's silo. The EQUILIBRIUM took no damage in blowing itself up, and the shockwave deflected all incoming fire. It retaliated with a Torpedo killshot, and followed up with two more, just in case.

Inside the SENTINEL, the masked pilot saw the incoming death torpedos and made a slight change of plans. He picked up his transmitter and yelled "Green Machine! Rendevous at the dome!" before recalling the Dragoons and sealing his mobile suit into a tight armored diamond. He felt the Mobile Suit's frame shake as three massive explosions rocked him like a hurricane filled with nitroglycerin, but more importantly, he felt the shift in gravity as they tossed him towards Earth's atmosphere. The SENTINEL began to glow red instead of gold as it began re-entry.

Inside the EQUILIBRIUM, the word "oops" could be heard in two different voices. Zero quickly blasted off after the SENTINEL down to Earth, while radioing in her status.

"The Sentinel is landing on Earth, destination unknown. The Equilibrium is unsuited for combat restricting collateral damage. Requesting ORB for reinforcements."

As the purple Mobile Suit turned red, diving past the point of no return, it received a transmission from the moon base.

"Mobile Suit Ravager has been stolen, destination is likely the moon. Equilibrium, your assistance is needed here!"

Agent Zero's sense of confidence fell almost as quickly as her Mobile Suit. Her purple OS orb continued to bobble around aimlessly.

"Definitely not the best way to start the day!"

From inside the hangar of the SSC-Gemini, ORB's last remaining battleship, Captain Megan Amano watched footage of two figures re-entering the atmosphere. Their trajectory would likely place them in the middle of the Sahara Desert. In any case, ORB has to take care of its own problems first. She tied her dark blue hair up behind her and placed a white orb on the console before her. In an instant, the YGDL-X01 Unity came to life.

"Haro! I am fine and so are you!"

"Manual Override OS Mu la Flaga, energize!"

"Glad to be of service Captain. Let's go!"

"Megan Amano, Unity launching!"

The shining white Mobile Suit shot off the deck of the Gemini and into the air, headed towards the second most secure sealed depot ever constructed.
