Oito nodded slowly.
“Very simple,” Zwanzig continued. “We’re dealing with an unknown
and possibly hazardous situation here. Better to have the Specials stick
their necks out than UESA soldiers. Besides, as much as I hate to admit
it, if the target does become hostile the Specials are better equipped
to handle it.”
So the military doesn't have any mobile suits?
Sure they do. But like they guys said, way risk his troops when they can risk
Treize's.
And so it was that Olsen found himself with six of him
fellow servicemen in a helicopter over the Gulf of Mexico riding out the
worst storm he’d seen in all of his twenty-four years.
Do they even use helicopters any more? Why? They've got anti-gravity!
The planes they use to carry mobile suits look like conventional aircraft so I
don't see why not. And this is a ocean search and rescue team. For stuff like that
a chopper is perfect. And I don't think they have anti-gravity. Planes are just
more advanced.
“But they don’t have our experience in search and rescue,” piped in
Weaver. This caught the rest of the team slightly off guard. The tall
blond crewman had a reputation for being the silent type.
They sent an unarmed helicopter to investigate a presumably hostile incursion?
Well isn't that special! Why? What did they expect to accomplish?
Sacrificial lambs. If these guys get toasted the brass know something bad is
going down but aren't out any mobile suits or pilots.
“Weaver’s got a point,” added Mwamba, a wiry black man who spoke
with a vague East African accent. “But as we were loading up I overheard
some of the brass talking. Seems that Specials don’t want to get
involved until they know just what landed out here.”
So the Specials aren't actually under the authority of the military?
The Specials were OZ's boys.
Even in the year AC 195 Arizona’s Grand Canyon is still considered
one of the Seven Wonders of the World. In its history the canyon has
Natural wonders perhaps.
No, I'm sure its one of the Seven Wonder period.
"Did anyone see you?"
"Not anyone still among the living," assured the God of Death.
Why didn't the helicopter broadcast information?
They were spending those few seconds trying to stay alive. <shrug> You never
really hear anything about all those mobile suits the Gundams fought making any
broadcast so why should these guys be any different.
Professor G just nodded. "Good. Our spies tell us that OZ is already
starting to put things together. The fewer witnesses they have to work
with the longer it will take them to figure out how to deal with us.
That delay will be crucial if we're to win."
What is OZ?
If you don't know that then you really aren't going to understand this fic.
Duo briefly wondered if someone might try to pin the blame on the colonies.
Since the colonies are responsible, that seems only fair.
And considering the number of wars going on in AC 195 I'm sure there's a long
list of people who'd like to see that factory destroyed.
