Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elzam chuckled, and opened the door, and... the room seemed pretty normal... except for the huge kitchen in the courner. "Well, it's good that you plan on keep it under wraps." Elzam said, and led Brittanny inside, "Well, I'll try to set up another bed or something."

Elzam chuckled slightly, and said, "Yes... in this... or another room." Elzam sighed, and continued, "So... you said you were trained with the 'Joy Helmet'... What is it...?"

"I see..." Elzam said, and turned around, "So... That's how they've done it... it's ingenious..." Elzam then blinked, and thought to himself, 'I can't belive they done that to Ray and Deane...'

Elzam nodded, "Yes... I know of some... two, personally. They're under my portection right now... one of them, Ray, is in the infermary right now..." Elzam headed to the door of his room, and said, "Well, I'll be going now... I'm going to inspect the ship." He then left, with a smile.

(Yesterday was my B-day!)

((Wow... That's pretty interesting. Hmm... sweatdrop I have no idea on what to give...))

Ray stared at the broken mammoth slabs of metal for a little while longer, his maroon eyes noit flickering. Something seemed to come over him with it, something he was trying to remember but cannot reach, his very memories seemingly eaten away on the back of his head and still churning. There was a certain flash of light that snapped him into reality, and by the time he turned around, Elzam was gone. He looked about the others, the kindly tall doctor that held him by his shoulders for Ray to keep his balance and Tsugumi, and nmerely smiled at his silent pondering face. "Where did Ratsel go?" He asked.

"He had to er... go somewhere..." She held out her hand upon her lips as she giggled of knowing Elzam's rediculous facade, and the tall doctor behind the boy simply smiled. Ray, of course, was as clueless as always, and merely knocked upon his throbbing head for clearance.

Tsugumi, feeling a little odd at Ray's awkward standpoint, forcefully cleared her throat to change the subject, "Ray, would you like to check out your GUNDAM? I have done several unique modifications on it that you might find interesting..." she made a playful wink before turning a serious gaze towards the tall man, who noded with a smile. Ray showed hsi gratitude, but did not show much excitement nonetheless, merely a gesture of sincerity.

With all three agreed, they floated through the hallways and towards the hanger. Tsugumi sought for this as a chance to introduce Ray to the doctor along the way. She raised her thin small fingers in a polite form towards the man, "This man here, is doctor Geas. He's one of our top ten doctors in the medical wing," she giggled upon herself and the blond haired man smiled. There were only ten doctors on board the Kurogane to begin with, all the rest nurses, but Ray bought it at full anyway.

"Really? Wow... I'm quite grateful that I'm under his care..." Ray grinned slightly, looking up towards the man behind him. By then the they have reached the doors that led to9 the hanger, which slid open with a smooth sound on it. Ray felt the sudden shock once entered, once again reminded that he was in the outer space, lacking the gravity he was so familiar with back at the colony. The stopped by the thick glass windows, and Tsugumi led the other two all the way to the left, towards a more spacious lot in the very corner that stored all the more colorful mobile suits. Passing by it, Ray could recognize the Freedom GUNDAM that Deane piloted, and quickly glanced around to look for the guy, before once again interupted in his trail of thoughts by Tsugumi's gentle words. She called for Ray's attention, "You seem to be pretty dazed all the while, Ray. Is something wrong?"

"Nothing..." Ray shook his head, almost honestly. Indeed, he can't identify what it was, but he can't shake the uneasy feeling either. Something had been bothering him since seeing the abandoned colonies. He looked up to her, and followed her gaze back towards the Shift.

A stunning expression overwhelmed Gustov's face when he thought he saw something flicker through the pilot's eyes, but concluded it to be of his imagination anyway. With a slight smirk, he humphed out small chuckled as he replied, "Elegant curtesies are of no place here in the army. Salutes are more suitable for us men. ( rofl In other words, under our standards, you're acting like a gay person, imitating how a woman would do.)" His grim face was shrouded under the shadow of his cap as he lowered his head and cleared his throat. He looked at the Bloodfin, sparkling brightly through all the repairs from head to feet, and then to the man, quite young for such skills. 'Well well... So marvelous at what the new OS could achieve, working really well with a pilot whome otherwise had no training experience in the academy records.'

He chuckled out some more at the thought before adressing towards the young man, his fists tied over each other behind him, "It's... favorable to meet you, Mr. Kayone. My name is Captain Jim (full first name is Jimmy)Gustov, commander of the L5 24th Division Elite Class Fleet. We have searched your name through the profiles earlier on, but I am afraid that your information is just either classified or non existent at all, so as frankly as I say it, I do not give you my full trust, but am keeping you as my subordinate. You shall do whatever I order you, however I will it, and no matte rhow uneasy it may seem to you. You should already know this at the Academy, but assuming that you haven't attended it yet, I'm just giving you the basics." Without another word, he briskly pivoted away, and floated through the hallways back towards the briodge, making a stern command, "Lina. Take this man to his quarters, to room C08. It's available, is it not?"

"Yes sir," all of the sudden, a woman in a high-ranking uniform came into notice as she floated past the large man and towards the pilot, her face quite similar to the nurse who helped Raine's wounds back in the Laeza in his prison, yet much more mature and not even blinking. She noded and said, "Follow me," grabbing hold of Raine's hand and leading him through the hallways and past several rooms, not turning back. Two guards followed them from behind at a close range, carrying their firearms ready, ready to shoot at any moment.

After leaving the bridge Reo floated over to his machine in the hanger to help work on the gigan which he obviously neglected after the explosion of the Hangane he felt sickly...

"Hey guys, so whats goin on with gigan at the moment?Said Reo.Well you pretty much ran the machine to its fullest... it looks like a prototype and not a complete version of the model and it looks massed produced... Mabey that daty disk in Africa can give us more information on this thing...Well I'll get my mechanics to work on Gigan, but if you over use it it will be unable to distroy ((That means one more 0 im done till Africa sad ))I'll be right back I need to get this data to Captian Elzam.Said Lead machanic.Ok I'll be sure not to stress it out any further and besides we need it for Africa...((kind of))Said Reo
