Despite the Federation best efforts it had been impossible to keep a complete media blackout after the skirmish a few days prior. Details were scarce, the only thing not being vague was how an RX-78 trashed a good portion of the industrial sector of the city. If anything all that it achieved was putting on display the Titan's ruthless methods. This Zeon remnant cell had become a problem that refused to go away and thus a larger force was assembled to deal with these remnants for good, still unaware that under their noses plans were being put in motion to thwart their tyrannical attempts.
An Anaheim electronics agent dressed in civillian clothes would approach Joshy Graysonn, informing him of the situation at hand. If he choose to accept it, his mission consisted of reinforcing a lone Chivvay class cruiser captained by a certain woman named Clara Marques. He was to take the Gerbera Tetra they'd built in secrecy and fight a force that outnumbered at least 3 to 1 as such he had already been given a fair amount of firepower and a mission long supply of ammunition and fuel.

Joshy sighs, overlooking the document covertly handed to him once again, explaining the situation. It's not that specific sadly, although of course, it couldn't be to be concealed as easily as it was; Take Gerbera Tetra, escort Chivvay, 3 to 1 odds, and of course a location, with vague details on what will actually be happening. As he continues pondering the message, softly playing in the background is an old OYW era patriotic song, one of the few to ever actually exist, for Zeon or otherwise. He remembers the days back when this first released, him and the boys listening to it over the radio until eventually he just happened to see it in a shop in Zeon-occupied territory, decided 'why the hell not', and purchased a cassette of it, which is now playing in his cassette player. Nowadays, the only audience for this song, now nearly wiped from existence, are probably the edgiest of edgy Feddie teenagers and him. He sighs within his inconspicuous apartment room, quietly muttering a "Sieg Zeon" along with the song, pulling a lighter out from one of the drawers of the desk he'd placed the small note upon and set the note alight, tossing it an ashtray only really used for this purpose. He doesn't per se want to do this, but he knows he has to, as there are only so many loyal to Zeon left nowadays and losing an entire Chivvay would be a tragedy and three quarters. He sighs again and gets out of his chair, stopping, picking up, then pocketing his personal cassette player and calmly walking out of his temporary apartment, locking the door behind him, and moving towards the rendezvous point. Upon reaching said point, he is taken aside to be re-equipped to better blend in with the currently present AE agents, disguised as Colombus Transport crewmen; his mobile suit already being in a ship within the ship, a modified Komusai I from the OYW. Either AE are gods or their sarcastic remarks about the Feddies were true for this not to be noticed. After a few hours of basically faffing about, the cargo transport leaves Side 3, heading off into the stars with the Feddies being none the wiser. Upon reaching a roughly safe distance from the colonies, he changed back into his Zeon uniform, putting his pilot suit on over it and entering the modified Komusai placed within one of the Columbus' cargo bays, containing his mobile suit as well as a single, definitely going to be useful Zaku, rocketing off towards roughly where the Chivvay should be. Joshy just calmly sat inside their mobile suit, playing the song once again, waiting.

Even from several hundreds of kilometers away flashes of a fierce skirmish could be seen. Beams and volleys of high caliber automatic fire irrupted the soundless darkness. As they drew closer it was possible to establish a line of communication with the 'Sobek' which was the name of the Chivvay class vessel they'd been sent to reinforce. The Sobek's radio operator advised Joshy that there were two hostile Salamis class cruisers in front of their path and would need help clearing them out.
" This is Falcon leader, callsign Dusty." Clara would formally introduce herself using her callsign to Joshy. " There's quite a few GMs in our way. I suggest we deal with them first and then focus on their cruisers." Each of the Salamis cruiser carried eight mobile suits in total, mostly modernized GM types which were not to be taken lightly.
The battle had grown so fierce that for the first time in a year Captain Clara Marques decided to step inside the MS-18E and help clear a way. The light gray mobile suit joined up with the black Gerbera Tetra, forming up in it's left side at a reasonable distance. it itself carried an MMP-80, a couple of Panzerfausts and one 360mm bazooka as opposed to the two it could theoretically carry. Since there were long distances involved Clara decided to go out with a " light" weaponry configuration in order to save as much fuel as possible. With the performance limiter on the Kampfer fuel efficiency was just as good as a Zaku II.
" What's up with that machine?" Clara muttered to herself, finding the type oddly reminiscent of something she'd seen during Operation Stardust. The type of mobile suit was not in her database either but it looked Zeonic.

As the Komusai steadily approaches the battlefield, Joshy is finally informed that it is too vulnerable to be able to stay behind and resupply him, so they will have to send him in with everything he's got; hence why the modified Zaku is here, to carry his Raketen. During the probable inevitability of it being handed off to him again, the prototype Zaku is equipped with wrist-mounted Vulcan guns, an extraordinary fucking breakthrough in Zaku design surely, Joshy simply acknowledging this with a "Yes sir", and summarily being equipped with his full armament, the second Gouf shield being semi-haphazardly strapped onto his Mobile Suit's arm by several mechanical ones mounted within the Komusai. Shortly after, he is deployed alongside the Raketen-wielding Zaku, staring off into the battlefield in the distance.
Joshy, having had been launched along with the Zaku, watches the Komusai fade off into the void as their brother in arms forms up next to them, already having had been given their orders, but waiting for Joshy to start moving anyway. They are then approached by seemingly the polar opposite of their Mobile Suit, white and gold, sticking out like a sore thumb, whereas his is only really visible thanks to the monoeye, glowing piece on its chest, and stupid white star symbol. Joshy listens to Clara's words and investigates her Mobile Suit for a few moments before simply nodding the head of their Gerbera Tetra, disabling their inertial dampeners, and rocketing off with both the Sturm Booster and their leg-mounted thrusters, simultaneously crossing their arms in such a way that one chaingun overlaps the other just under his Mobile Suit's head, extending outwards past that and forming a skull-and-crossbones type look. This is partially for protection, but mostly for aesthetics that nobody will really be able to see in this environmen. If he doesn't look cool while doing this, what's the point? The Zaku, of course, mildly overloaded by the Raketen, tries its damndest to follow after him, but he has already settled on a semi-ludicrous speed far greater than what its Not-Char-Aznable pilot can achieve, simply detaching the Sturm Booster and drifting towards the battle, uncrossing their arms as their monoeye flashes, the Shooting Star charging into battle with a backing track of 'Sieg Zeon!'.

" Seems like we got ourselves an eagle of Zeon." Clara muttered to herself, taking notice of this pilot way of communication merely through the gestures of his machine. In a way he reminded her of several other people she'd meet before. The Kampfer was not quite able to keep up with the boosting Gerbera but she could still tag along with the Zaku, making contact with it's pilot. " You might wanna keep your distance for the time being. We'll make sure to get rid of their escorts firsts so just don't get hit by any stray shots!" It was always in her best interest to reassure those in the support role. A formation composed of four GM type C and two GM Quels entered the Zeonic machines detection range. All six of them carried beam carbines with only the C types carrying shields. The Quels on the other hand both dual wielded their carbines with 90mm rifles. If approached hastily and head on Joshy would find himself under fire from mildly accurate long range fire from the pair of Salamis Kai cruisers main turret armament. While the first four shoots went nowhere near the three of them, a second barrage of four beams would start getting much closer. The GM were simply acting as spotters, having seen the flare of his boosters coming from long distance. The Titans were not in the mood to play silly games with the remnants at this point. Opposing forces: x4 GM type Cx2 Salamis Kaix2 GM Quel
