In another room, almost identical to the one Nemesis lies restrained in, Vince sits in between to medical beds, the forms of his two body guards can be made out in between the layers of sheets and life support equipment.

Why does being here like this suprise me so much? Being mobile suit pilots, everyday we carry out possibley the most dangerous lives of anybody. And yet for some reason i always thought everybody would be alright, everybody important to me seemed invulnerable. But now both of you seem so fragile. So weak.

*He stands up and paces around the room with his hands clasped behind his back*

Oh Nemesis youve almost killed my two best friends, and i could have left you in the middle of battle to die. Can i ever forgive you?

*Shadow walks into the cafe and gets a quick dinner and sits down at a table. When suddenly a young man dressed in dark blue steps up next to the table. Shadow looks up and then jumps out of his seat*

Person: Hi there chris.

Shadow(Chris): Is it really you Tom?! I haven't seen you since officers school!

Tom: Too true my friend. Back then, your almost killing a teacher was becoming well known. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone here knows about it.

Chris: That's probably why they won't shut up.

Tom: I heard about your little defection, both of them.

Chris: Yes, I was enraged, and didn't know who to take it out on, so I decided to take it out on the empire. Then I got angry at the rebel leader. Damn fool, she thinks her febel force can stop an entire planet. I bet her carrier is still sitting out there on the moon or floating around aimlessly.

Tom: I'm sure. What rank are you being entered as?

Chris: To be honest, I'm not sure. I was up for a promotion to colonel. As you know, I was doing pretty well in my artillery tactics class.

Tom: Always one step ahead of the rest eh?

Chris: I guess so, not as good as I used to be, never got to practice my skills.

Tom: Yeah...

Chris: Well, I gotta go test out the new weapons on my suit. I'll give ya a call later.

Tom: Ok, see ya later ol' pal.

*Shadow goes to test out his new improved suit*

A group of six men walk up to Shadow as he approaches his suit. The apparent leader of the group catches Shadow by the shoulder.

Hey, are you that Confederate traitor?
I heard the punk switched sides on a dime...
Word is you can't be trusted, rebel.
Lord Bhaal's too damn trusting these days.
Listen, rebel, we don't want your kind around here--

The leader spins Shadow around and grabs his collar. His rank becomes visible to him in the process, a Staff Sergeant from one of the infantry teams.

Kayl returns to the docking bay, his wounds treated and his side bandaged. He stops a technitian running by.

"Where is my mecha?"

"Sir, it's repairs are completed. Come this way."

Kayl follows the skinny man to a large room where a crane is hauling a large rifle.

"As you can see, we're adding a sniper rifle to your mecha. It is the of the same, if not higher, caliber to that of which you were shot with. We were able to trace the weapon with the residue left by the bullet. Rather powerful gun, it was. I had only-"

Kayl cut him off.

"Yes yes. It looks good. Now if only you could improve the Knight's-"

This time the technitian cut Kayl off, much to his annoyance.

"We've already gotten to that, sir. We've added a nuclear core to the sabre, letting you turn it on and off at your will. The extra energy from the core will allow it to even stop bullets. Sniper Rifle bullets, for instance?"

Kayl grinned widely and shook the technitian's hand.

"Bhaal has nothing like you on his side. Truly fantastic."

*I see the confrontation happening from afar, causing me to realize who the center of the little spat is. I jog toward them a bit and then slow to a walk, trying to get a better look. As Shadow gets into his mech, a shot is fired. Nothing else becomes of it, though, as Shadow gives a quick retort and then re-enters his suit. The others walk away, clearly in a huff. I draw closer to Shadows suit.. my old Commander's Calamity unit, clearly highly improved and overhauled. I call out to him to get his attention.*

Shadow, is it?

*Shadow once again emerges from his cockpit to see who the new speaker is.*

Hello, soldier. Or is it Sir? I really have no way of knowing what rank you re-entered our side into. I am Acting Lieutenant Xanderspade. I don't suppose you'd mind me asking what your rank is and where you get off assulting and talking back to a Staff Sergeant like that.. Forgive me if I slightly sympathize with their distain for you.

Hello, soldier or sir, I am not sure of my rank either. I'd assume it be colonel, as i was slated to be promoted to that rank days before i left.

I was assaulted by your staff sergeant and his little posse. Have they no discipline?

Oh, I'm sorry, My name to many is Shadow, but my friends call me Chris, you can call me whatever you choose.

*Chris puts out an open hand for an handshake*

I hope we don't get off to a bad start like my, other friends. Especially the staff sergeant on the floor over there.

*by this time, the Staff Sergeant has risen and gone about his business, which I secretly involves writing up Shadow.*

*I look down at Shadow's hand.*

Shadow then. Forgive me if I don't shake hands. Nevertheless, we won't get off to that bad a start if you don't wish. I won't be insulted and I won't be layed a hand on. I don't do these to other people and I expect the same courtesy. I won't even do these things to you. If, in private quarters, I refer to you as a fickle traitor, it is nothing but the truth and I don't mean it as a petty insult. Quite frankly I don't trust you, Shadow.

As for the Sargeant, I know nothing about his discipline. But he outranks me, and as you have no rank as yet, he probably outranks you as well. I don't question the actions of my superiors when they are in their head, and neither should you. Such mutinous thoughts and actions promote disloyalty.

I understand that having you around promotes Lord Bhaal's cause. It is a message to the others from this insurrection that those who wish to do the right thing will not be persecuted. As such, I hope that you can prove my skepticism unwarranted. But given your actions, I don't see how you can. Some things you can't take back.

But now I've said my peace. Watch what you do as you are already on thin ice with me and just about everyone else in this command. I leave you to your own matters.

*I don't wait for his reply, as from what I've observed it would undoubtedly be smug anyway. I turn on my heel and head back to my mech.*

Sir do you think we should put a stop to this before it gets out of hand?

No I think we'll leave off calling security for now. This way our friend Shadow will try even harder to impress us to prove that he is worthy and a motivated soldier is always good. Also letting the lads let off a bit of steam about the rebels will make them feel better. They may think I trust the rebel too much but they are unaware of the method behind my madness. They shall see that my loyalty lies with them rather than the new guy but for now I must keep both sides happy

(As for new arrivals we are no longer accepting any at this late stage in the RPG but the probable sequel may be accepting members depending on how many current ones don't want to continue.

Also this thread is going a little slow at the moment as me and Toryu have exams. Also Toryu is ill and my P.C is down so I'm back to a 56k which I have to pay for the longer I am on.

Well as for "letting him go" I didn't want either risk valuable resources or loose lives in attempting to stop him in a situation where we were being forced back. We will be advancing again in a matter of days in far greater numbers so then we can easily have him hunted down and stopped. In fact I was planning to ask if you were up to such a task in the assault when it begins. You may have as much support as you like but I want to make sure he is dead. If you don't feel up to the task others can be found but I would think that you would like the challenge.

That suit I..that thing I comandeered. It's not normal, you cant just tell it what to do, you cant just control it. It enhances you and also uses you.
It doesnt have any conscience of feelings of a greater good, it simply tells you what you need to do to further your ambitions. You could almost call it a selfish suit.

*He closes his eyes and grits his teeth as he thinks back to remember*

I wasnt ready for it then, it showed me what the planet could look like if this war were to continue, it showed me that we were taking the wrong path, or could be taking the wrong path. The only way i could see to stop the demoltion of a planets eco system was to wipe out those to be responsible for it.
The only wa i could see to stop it was to kill everybody. absolutley everybody who was fighting, wether they were with me or not.

But that was when i wasnt ready, next time i will know what to expect. I need some modifications done to thats suit. In particular the beam cannon, i need a power slide put on it with a romote link to your suit. That way if it does get me again you will be able to shut down the cannon and stop me doing major damage.
