Lillith's MS-06 FS II is a mid point between the standard Zaku II model and the MS-07 B-3 Gouf, it is lightly armored, incredibly agile, and equipped with a trio of 35mm armor piercing machine guns on it's left wrist. It also has a prototype heat saber and a Gouf style shield, it lacks the heat whip/grappling line that was a Gouf standard and is prone to mechanical breakdowns due to its rushed production.

She holds no fondness for it what so ever; honestly thinking she is going to end the war in a Kampfer or a Gelgoog Jager, time will tell though.

Captain Garma Zabi shifted uncomfortably as he awaited the arrival of Rear Admiral Lillith Potter; the very fact that a flag officer, much less an officer that was a long time family friend was being sent as a chaperon chaffed him badly. Despite this his scowl turned into a wistful smile as he twirled is fingers through his long lilac hair, well, it could be worse, he along with every other straight male in Side 3 had a crush on the woman in question after all.

Although he sincerely doubted any other male in Side 3 had walked in on her naked and groaning with his sisters head firmly planted between her legs; the black eye he'd earned for that intrusion had been well worth it. Smirking to himself he was startled as the offices doors slid open allowing the entry of his personal wank fantasy, who currently looked like complete and utter shit.

"Err...Rear Admiral its-" she cut him off with a hiss and a wave of her hand, her crumpled uniform, sunglasses, and stale breath making it very clear she was suffering from a massive hangover.

Stumbling towards the chair facing him she fell into its embrace with a grunt, slurping loudly from a rather massive mug of coffee she eventually turned her bespectacled gaze towards him. "Sup Garma, what's the situation?"

Clearing his throat uncomfortably he shifted the collar of his uniform before speaking, "Well Ma'am our plan is to drop our Heavy Lift Vehicles into the abandoned suburbs surrounding New York City. While not necessarily strategically important it will certainly be a strike against the Federation's morale and will make for an effective staging point for our push west."

The hungover woman accepted the offered document and scanned it a moment before grunting lightly, "Right, with Washington D.C. being nothing more then a dusty crater after World War III New York is the most culturally relevant city left in North America. Pity about LA, complete shite hole, amazing Latino food..." Garma had no idea what to say to that considering Los Angeles had been a burnt out bone yard for nearly a century, instead he coughed to regain the woman's attention.

"Right, we are going to be relying on Gau air carriers for the most part so the airports are going to be a top priority; the planes in question are already equipped with reentry gear and will only be combat ineffective for the ten minute entry window." Lillith snorted at that as she slurped down the rest of her coffee, tossing the mug over her shoulder and wincing as it shattered against the wall the young Admiral nodded once.

"Right, you're doing good kiddo, I'm going to make sure my Zaku is ready and then I'm going to go throw up in the loo, talk to you tomorrow." As the Raven of Loum stumbled out of his office Garma came to a startling conclusion, his crush was as annoyed about her assignment as he was, and it rather hurt to realize this.

The woman Garma ran into the next day could not be any more different from the one who had left his office, Rear Admiral Lillith Potter practically exuded professionalism as she prowled the bridge of his Gau carrier. From the shining gold mantle adorning her chest to the crisp deep green uniform and heavily polished black boots she was the perfect picture of parade elegance, the baleful glare cast over her wire rimmed glasses effortlessly quelling the surrounding men under her gaze.

Garma was so turned on it wasn't even fair.

Clearing his throat he saluted readily, "Admiral the fleet is ready for atmospheric entry upon your command!" Smirking she pulled a slightly tarnished silver box from her pocket and snapped it open sliding a single thin cigar out; slipping it between her lips the Japanese woman at her side quickly lit it with an antique lighter.

"Thank you Yumi," she stated offhandedly earning herself a short bow in return, turning to the main view screen the emerald eyed beauty took a drag from her cigar before blowing a large cloud of smoke around her. Turning her mirthful gaze to Garma her lips quickly split into a toothy feral grin, "Don't be afraid to be rough with this bitch Captain, hit 'em hard, hit 'em fast, and leave nothing but broken dreams in our wake."

So. Not. Fair.

Clearing his throat he nodded once as he swept his hands before him, "All units begin entry sequence, as soon as the HLVs reach an altitude of three thousand feet they are to begin the mobile suit launching process. Anyone caught flat footed will be left behind, SIEG ZEON!"

The chorus of 'Sieg Zeon' was echoed across the channels, as the Gau plowed into Earth's atmosphere the entire airship began shaking violently, as glowing red plasma washed across the reinforced nose Lillith Potter chomped down on her cigar grinning widely.

When all anyone could see was burning air and all they could feel was heavy vibrations one sound cut through to all their hearts forcing them to keep their focus.

The Rear Admiral was cackling with glee, she gripped the handrails as she stared out into the glowing storm of their forceful atmospheric entry with a sadistic grin curling up her lips.

It was an intoxicating noise.

After a time the shaking and glow settled down, and soon the heated air cooled and they were given the first views of the beautiful wide open Atlantic ocean, and the fast approaching coast of North America. Removing the mostly burnt out cigar from her mouth Rear Admiral Potter crushed it against the handrail as she turned to her 'Boss'.

"Pretty, what are we blowing up first?"

Twenty reviews was great for last chapter, and the response inspired me to write more less then a day after my last update, hope you all enjoy!
