UC 112- on board the Clop class cruiser "Hidalgo"
By orders of Captain Sofia Torres, Henry was re-asigned to the Hidalgo since they had suffered an operational loss earlier that day. It wasn't uncommon to have pilots transfer into empty spots in times of war.
He would be greeted by this long haired blond woman wearing a Lt. bar in her uniform, this was none other than Eva Angelina Cordova also known as the Venus of Luna II. Eva had built a reputation as a barracks queen that would sleep with most people but she was also a competent pilot that had proven herself in combat against the Mars Zeon forces. This, however had not changed her demeanor and would start hitting on Henry straight away, promising him a good time later once he got acquainted with his new posting.

Henry received his new orders to be reassigned to the Hidalgo and went through the process of adjusting himself within the ranks of the crew, he was quiet as he had also recently came from a conflict down on Earth not long ago, a short skirmish that took the lives of at least 150-200 civilians...people who didn’t deserve deaths as brutal as such. As he met with the Lt. he was flustered by her advance and stuttered as he turned bright red for a moment and shook some sense back into himself, a deep sigh came from him as he thought to himself, 'Guess this is home from now on, it’s better this way to be fair, for my own well being too, hopefully the others are just as nice as the Lt., but not as forward either,' he was a boy of the age of 19 and he was piloting the ZZ Vier Gundam, his own personal unit.

" As much as I would love to have fun with you the truth is we got a lot of work to do." Eva would explain to him that the Martians were trying to whittle down the Federation expedition to Mars.
An EWAC Jesta would land on the Hidalgo shortly after. This was the only unit that had managed to come back from an skirmish with Martian Geara Zulus and Bawoos.
The order for launch came straight away and Eva's MP Nu Gundam would deploy first, equipped with an Hyper Bazooka and an incom unit . Their element callsign was Virgo with Eva being Virgo 1 and Henry being Virgo 2.
The mission was a fairly straight forward Combat patrol following a route provided to them by the EWAC Jesta. Mere ten minutes later they would spot flares up ahead, belonging to three speeding Bawoo type mobile suits in their MA form.
These Martians would rush the two Gundam types from a high angle, zooming past them while strafing them with their forward facing wing mounted beam guns.

"Already...damn these Zeons definitely don’t want to waste time, guess we gotta play rough now, I’ll follow your lead ma’am, lead the way."
The head of the ZZ Vier would turn to face her as his High-Power Beam Rifle would be hot and ready to fire at the incoming Bawoo’s, albeit facing one is annoying enough as his Gundam can’t transform like the original ZZ, but I packs more of a punch and can take hits like a champ.
Through his own mind Henry was wondering how this outcome would fall into play, maybe a run and gun maneuver or just engage them them and use the debris around to their advantage, his mind was racing with thoughts as it always did.

" We'll bring them down one at the time." Eva was confident in her ability to turn inside the transformed Bawoo's. She would go for a wide AMBAC roll, making sure those beams missed her for a fair margin but the shield of the MP Nu remained up at all times. Not feeling like wasting a shot of the bazooka, she would aim using the Vulcans, spraying the lead element wit ha withering barrage that would cause it to drop a little speed.
The other two Bawoos recognized the ZZ and would split up and began approaching it from different directions simultaneously. Each one of them would fire their beam guns at the maximum controlled rate of fire, not wanting to over heat but also giving the ZZ something to think about as they went to outmaneuver it.

"Crap here we go!"
The ZZ would boost upwards and begin to make counter maneuvers from the beams as Henry would try to get the right angle to fire his rifle, if he could hit one of the weak points within the Bawoo’s MA form it could ease up the pressure on him and the Lt., good impressions were always an attempt he tried to make even in combat.
As he would reach a favored distance he would quickly in on motion fire of a volley of blast at the one on the right of him and then focus fire into the actual shot, the volley simply was a attempt in causing disorientation.
"Take that and get out of my way!"

The beam that struck the Bawoo tore a hole through it's main structural support, effectively causing it to come apart shortly after. The ZZ beam weaponry was not the average Jegan carbine, after all.
" I almost feel sorry for these people." Eva Angelina made sure to plant an HE shell so close to the Bawoo it would simply disintegrate into a cloud of fiery debris. The MP Nu Gundam having simply gotten the upper hand by simply maneuvering into the MA's blind spot.
Only one now remained and it had simply turned the other way, having witnessed it's squadmates go down. A minute later, large shells would begin to arrive at their quadrant. No doubt long range fire from a few Geara Doga's or Zulus equipped with Bruno guns. Even the Gundams could be badly hurt by a direct hit from one of those and Eva understood this.
" I'll close the gap if you can cover me." Eva was not in the mood to sit down and kick back, already coming up with a way to eliminate those guns and the threat they posed in close combat.
" There's no telling what else they might have waiting for us but we can take anything they can throw at us, and then some." She was confident on the capabilities of the MP Nu and the ZZ.

Henry nodded and had a adrenaline fueled grin as he would lift his wings and shift them into dual linear cannon mode for long distance firefights, he would follow through and fire of Impact shells that detonated close to the Geara’s location. Each round shot caused the wings barrels to flow red for a brief second before the vacuum of space immediately cooled the barrels.
"Your time to shine ma’am there sitting ducks at this point, seems the won’t learn will they?”
He practically felt at ease realizing how she could easily deal with close quarters rather than he could, he was mostly gun with a beam saber or two for close quarters. His faith in their teamwork was on the money.

The linear gun shot ripped the barrel off one of those long Bruno guns, causing the Geara Zulu to drop the rest of the heavy piece of artillery that was no unusable without a barrel.
The other Geara Doga would commit to counter battery fire, letting out a frag shell at the ZZ. Eva Angelina's MP Nu would rush them at full power, making erratic changes of course to keep their gunners guessing as she made her approach under Henry's over watch.
Her idea of getting "up close" Actually involved the Bazooka's maximum effective range. Since her targets had remained stationary it was much easier to line up a shot while traveling in a straight line. In this violent exchange of fire the heavy gun barrels of the Martian mobile suit artillery would be ripped asunder but that Bawoo from earlier was circling above the battlefield, waiting for the right change to strike back at the ZZ.
Before Henry knew it, a barrage of six missiles would be fired at him from that same Bawoo that had ran away earlier.

With little time to react, Henry used the right portion of his wing to block at least a few shots but left him open to the other few as he screamed in pain and his cockpit shook...blood...blood filled his mouth, a blood vessel must’ve popped as he spat it out and growled, some dripping from his mouth. The damage to the ZZ Vier was moderate as the wing was blown off on a section making it difficult to maneuver and hindering the suits dexterity in space.
"You coward!"
He turned around and fired 4 rounds of the left wing’s linear gun at the Bawoo that had done such a cowardly move.

The Bawoo pilot was certainly twitchy, deploying counter measures in the shape of chaff and dummy balloons and maneuvering dramatically to shake off Henry's aim. One of the railgun shells nicked it's rear end, knocking it off course and causing it to spin out of control.
Eva Angelina had decided it was time to deploy her INCOM unit, the wire guided remote weapons soon getting around the Geara Doga's and obliterating them with rapid fired beams.
" I am about to wrap up here, Virgo 2. what's your status?" Eva would call Henry, seeing that he had caught some lead.

Static came on his end for a moment but clearly his was muttering swears under his breath about the Bawoo’s cheap tricks. He flew over to her as visible damage was seen on the frame, but overall he and the Gundam were A okay.
“All good ma’am, it’s gonna take more than that to get me to be honest, ground war is way more raunchy than this...but what about you?”
Concern flowed through him, just an innate thing he tends to ask, not out of the faint of heart, but out of carrying.

" I am good. If you say you can keep going then let's move on." With the Geara Doga's suppressed they could finally move freely. Truth to be told the MP Nu Gundam hadn't gotten so much as a single scratch just yet. Eva was clearly more than just a pretty face but in reality it was going to take more than moth balled Bawoos and Geara Doga's to put a dent on them.
All of a sudden they would come under attack from a couple of RF Dom's toothing beam bazooka's. The leading Dom would speed up, wanting to get on a head on with Henry's ZZ while it's partner tangled around with Eva, beam saber in hand.

Henry grunts in shock at the Dom’s as he would move to pursue the second one trying to get ahead of him, why won’t they just give up?
He kept a good pace with it as he drew out a beam saber and lunged at the Zeon suit going for a feint to see what it would do, he worried about Eva but knew she was far better at combat than he was for sure, just being around others made him act like so. "Hey why don’t you just give it up and leave with your friend and save your lives while yo still have enough?”
He said with a serious tone as the ZZ Vier was barreling in front of the Dom now, he could easily strike and engage in close quarters at the moment.

The RF Dom engaging Henry's ZZ would fire it's automatic cannons at near point blank rage, peppering it with a barrage of heavy caliber full auto fire. It had drawn it's own beam saber but instead of going for a swing it would simply keep shooting, fully intending on obliterating this Gundam with armor piercing shells.
Eva Angelina simply fired the bazooka at the RF Dom from up close. It was much easier to land blows up close and the MP Nu mobility allowed it to bully certain type of Zeon made MS.
