A week after the events of Europa Secrets ...
Misha Gilliam in person would come to Saturnus aid upon being contacted. The Gold plated Hyaku Shiki Kai along with a pair of Zeta Plus C-1s would escort the RX-0 Banshee and it's companion shuttle through Jupiter Self Defense force controlled airspace, keeping not only the Federation away but also th institute security forces. At this point, the Jovian princess had 'secured' a empty hangar inside a JSDF base, smuggling the RX-0 there one night when she knew the security officers could cover for them.
" We're going to have to come up with a way to disguise that beast." Misha would comment as she looked at the imposing RX-0, still wearing her zero gravity pilot suit. " More importantly, find the two of you a place where you could stay. Though I suppose that would be far easier." It wasn't beyond her means to find Saturnus and his brunette partner Catherine a roof over their heads.
Catherine herself was thankful or the assistance, instantly establishing a newtype connection with Misha. She knew the Jovian princess could be trusted and that their goals seemed to coincide for the time being.

Saturnus looked up at the RX-0 Banshee through the visor of his helmet. The long flight had left him tired and sweaty. During the previous long haul mission he had performed he had stayed in the shuttle the majority of the trip. But the fact that the Inst was on their tails required him to perform a long flight time. The mobile suit locked into place on it's rack he stared at it. Up until he heard Misha speak commenting on how obvious it currently was."Could always throw a tarp over it." Saturnus said half jokingly."Should be easier, hopefully so." Saturnus stated looking over to her."Hope we didnt draw to much attention to you."

" That would be good enough for now." Misha was not very concerned about anyone finding out about this. The institute had no power to request an inspection of a facility belonging to the JSDF. Now it was only a matter of finding these two a place to stay and recover after their escape.
" I'll go ahead and make reservations for you in a Hotel at least until we find you a more permanent place to stay." When it came to helping "radical elements" Misha tried to be as generous as she could. Anyone who went against the status quo was certainly someone she could trust, even if her father was a vital part in all of it.
This was the first time Catherine had set foot outside the institute so all she did was look around wondering what awaited ahead. She stared wide eyed at the streets as they drove out of the installation in a car Misha's agents provided.

"A hotel should do just fine." Saturnus would of stated fine with such accommodations."Will it be close by?" he asked wanting to make sure they can help at a moments notice. Saturnus wasn't used to someone being this generous towards him. But he reasoned that the reason was because their goals lined up with one another.Then after that and they were on their way to the hotel he would stare out the window quietly."What do you think?" he asked Catherine.
---
Not to much time after someone else would arrive as Misha would no doubt expect. A Columbus class ship with long range tanks had arrived and docked. This was Jove, who was on here on mission for the martians. Not just them however as above all else he worked for Citrio and his cause. But, their current reason for bein in the Jupiter Sphere was to aquire some AE transport ships. On the side he wanted to catch tp with old friends and contacts. So after the airlock had finished equalizing pressure he stepped onto the colony itself.

" Ten minutes away on vehicle. That's the closest we can get you." Misha would answer Saturnus question while arranging their reservations from the screen of her mobile device. Coincidently enough, today she'd also arranged a meeting with an old friend whom she hadn't seen in nearly two years. " I'll have my people keep an eye out for you so if you feel watched it's likely them. I have other matters I need to tend to today so don't get in too much trouble."
She would drop them at the aforementioned Hotel, a four stars resort in a centric part of the capital. There weren't many guests around this time of the year. " It would be so easy for me to get lost on a place like this ..." Catherine might have looked like an adult but her mentality was still pretty much one would expect from a child. In her eyes this colony was an sprawling world she could not comprehend in comparison to the aisles of the institute.

"Well, stick close to me and Ill make sure you dont become lost." Saturnus would say rather assuredly to her as he looked to her."Its just like the inst in a way." he started to point out."Just a larger scale. Youll become used to it eventually." he said as they started to explore their room. Curious about how it was seeing as it was a four star hotel. The rooms he had become used to were very utilitarian with sparse decoration. This was much nicer, he could tell as it reminded him of his room on his fathers vessel.

" I'll stay with you, brother." Catherine reached out for Saturnus hand, holding onto it as if her life very much depended on it. Her eyes looked up at him glimmering with hope for what was to come next.
---
Misha had her agent go get Jove at the space port ahead of time from where he would drive their guest all the way to the Gilliam family estate at the other side of the colony. Lately, Misha had taken a break from the stages so she could focus on assembling her supporters and the materials they would need for their uprising.
Once he'd arrived, Misha would be there in person to meet him the moment he stepped out of the parked vehicle. Her attire was fairly casual and light colored, unsurprisingly she'd matured quite nicely since the last time they'd seen each other. " I almost didn't recognize you, Jove. Come in, my father would arrive later tonight."

Jove stepped from the vehicle and took a nice look at the estate as it had been two years since he had seen it. Perhaps more for his friend Citrio and as he took it in he nearly missed Misha as she had approached him. Jove blinked at seeing her, as saw how much she had matured since they had last met."Misha? I have to say I almost didnt realize it was you either. its been awhile eh?" Jove asked in a friendly manner."But yeah, lets head inside." he said but not entirely sure he wanted to see her father, but he kept that under the lid.

" How have you been lately?" Misha would turn her head around to ask Jove as she guided him to the dinning hall. A maid would walk up to Jove asking if he fancied a drink shortly after arriving.
" I myself have been taking a vacation from the stages. Focusing on other activities to inspire myself. You know, the usual." Misha would get herself a glass of chilled cucumber water with lime. She wasn't a big fan of alcohol at all.

"I've been well. Been keeping myself busy." Jove said rather simply before noticing the Maid walk up to him."Yeah, a drink would be nice. Can I have some lemonade?" he said rather enthusiastically before he got a good look around the dining hall. It was the same as he remembered it, fancy, large, and in rather good taste. Not only that, but kept very clean from what he could tell. No doubt the staff had something to do with that."Oh? What kind of activities?" he asked curious as he watched her get a drink."But yeah, business has been going well on my end. "

" Getting more involved with the SDF. It's not easy being the poster girl of our armed service but it's something I quite enjoy." Misha was not in the least surprised to hear Jove was handling his business quite competently.
" So, tell me. Have you heard of Citrio lately? As you know since father disowned him I haven't seen or talked to him. " Misha loved her brother Citrio. She thought it was unfair what her father had done.

Jove paused and thought his next words over carefully having been about to just start speaking. But lucky for him he caught himself before he revealed information he probably wouldnt want to."I have heard of him. They live on the Moon these days." Jove updated her."They contacted me after I finished my term of service. They are doing fine. Started up my transport business around the same time." Jove added on."I was rather surprised you know? By how much he has..." Jove scratched the side of his head."Changed?"

" Changed you say?" Misha picked up on Joe's way of wording that answer. She truly had no idea what new ideas her brother had cultivated over the few years they had been separated.
" I heard he got more in contact with his feminine side but I don't think that's a bad thing like father says." She would add, not finding it at all wrong that he decided to be look more girly.
" That doesn't make my brother any less of a man."

"Ah so you did hear then? Well, he also helped Dinia find their feminine side as well." Jove commented with a pause."I suppose not, its just that I almost didnt recognize him for real when i saw him again." Jove said somewhat unsure of what to think of how Citrio had turned out."I mean, I am still his friend. Always will be. Just, well I am unsure... dont know..." Jove said seemin a bit conflicted about that part of the situation."But you are saying that could be part of the reason your father disowned him?"

" Dad is all about keeping the appearences. I don't think it's one of the reasons, more like the only reason why he kicked Citrio out. Our old man is stuck in an idealized past." It wasn't a surprise to hear that Dinia had also decided to do the same as Citrio.
" Hmm... What do you think caused them to be more comfortable with their feminine side? Do you think it could have been the work of a woman? I know my brother and Dinia have always been straight."
