After the events of the 'Rain Over Deimos'.
Rosengarten's Ship & Hessen warship were each sent a coded transmission giving location and a holographic image with a message each to meet for them to meet at a nearby asteroid colony. The colony in question was being re-purposed into a fortress by the Outlaws as a makeshift base with help of Zeon construction workers.
Inside deep in the depths the colony inside of the commander's boardroom was Lucius who was forming his fingers into a pyramid while sitting inside of a large chair within the lodge's meeting space with a large table, he appeared to be pressing a button on the table as a hologram of him sends them each a transmission.
"This is Lucius Alexander Smith, Commander of the Devil's Raiders.. I request you both to attend a meeting at Delta 5 Asteroid Colony. It is a very important matter that may alter events..." He stated with a serious expression, his air about him appeared to be calm yet resolved. His black and red uniform was polished but the bags under his eyes clearly showed his tired expression.

Siefgried walked into the Delta 5 Asteroid Colony, Shelly not being with him at the moment. He looked around the area, other soldiers talking about the battle. Siefgried brushed his hair out of his eyes with his hand. He wondered what the commander would want with him and what he meant by altering current avents.
Siefgried walked to the coordinates given to him by the message. Thinking still why the commander called him. He would soon arrive at the destination seeing the Commander there. He extended an arm to shake his hand. "Greetings commander.." he said, brushing his hair out of his eyes with his free hand.

Ekkehard Rosengarten would arrive a short time later docking to the Delta 5 Asteroid Colony via a shuttle. He was rather timely considering all his other duties at this point. He arrived in the conference room after being escorted there with an energy in his step. Despite this, he seemed a little different then that last time Lucius would of spoken with him. He was a bit tired, having not slept for a day."Greetings Commander Smith! I was told that you had some good news." he said rather extravagantly before sitting down at the conference table."I also heard that you fought valiantly at the battle."

Lucius accepted the handshake before staring at him. "Siegfried a pleasure to meet you, once Rosengarten arrives we may begin. In the meantime help yourself to the refreshments provided if you wish." He addressed him directly with calm confidence in his tone before motioning to the seat to his right as the table carried a collection of various kinds of treats including sugar cookies, fruits, some tea, and coffee respectively. While Lucius was pouring himself a cup of coffee to place onto his side of the table, he finally heard Rozengarten's arrival.
"Ah, Ekkehard... a pleasure to see you again. It's a shame I couldn't do more my Gundam unit was intercepted by that unknown unit that labelled itself as the 'Goddess of Shadows'... that appeared to outstrip me technologically." Something of anger gripped at his heart even forming a fist behind his back as he folds his right arm fist attempting to hide his fury at that while extending a hand out to his seat like a gracious host masking his true in-front of them before adding in. "Help yourself to any refreshments, Rosengarten I have something to talk to you. This is Mr. Siegfried Wagner, the current leader of the 'True Zeon' Movement, though I asked him to join into this meeting as well." He casually explained to him before taking his seat at the head of the table in the commander's seat before sipping on the edge of his cup to sip his coffee.

Siefgried nodded at the commander, sitting down at the seat he mentioned. He took a cup, pouring in some tea for himself, taking a sip. He looked over to the door to see Ekkehard, waiting for them to finish their small talk.
He froze when Lucius introduced him as the leader of the True Zeon movement. Looking over to Lucius, "How could you have known about the movement..? I've been keeping it under the radar." he said, his blonde hair falling over his right eye. He felt distressed now that one of the higher ups new of his movement.

Ekkehard Rosengarten would take a seat, though raised an eyebrow at what was said in regards to Siefgried by Lucius. He furrowed his brow looking at them and their quick exchange."Pardon... But what?" he asked them not seeming entirely happy, his mood shifting a little."Regardless of how he learned about it... What is this True Zeon movement you speak of?"

Lucius chuckles at Siegfried's reaction before turning to him. His eyes briefly left back to rosengarten. "Oh don't worry about that. His political views don't worry me. Now onto business since I have been expanding my forces and decided to stick around with Zeon. I feel it's necessary to rebrand my forces. Effective today I'll regard my forces as the 'Neo Zeon Sleeves' going forward." He slowly explained with a polite smile as his hand reaches underneath the table to grab a suitcase.
Unclipping the suitcase he pulls out a pair of documents that look to be medical forms. "There's also this matter I want you to take a look at Rozengarten." He slides the forms over to the table. The forms themselves carried 3 different confirmed tests from Federation and Zeon labs as documented proof. This is proves a positive connection of Fumiko being related to the Zabis Family, or more accurately one of their last living descendants. Before sitting back down to enjoy his cup of coffee while watching their faces carefully.

Siefgried took a breath, taking another sip from his tea. He tapped his foot on the floor waiting impatiently. He brushed his hair out of his eyes. He looked at the documents, quickly snatching them before Ekkehard could read it. "What is this?! Fumiko? Zabi bloodline? Lucius, you better explain what's going on here" Siefgried said, putting the papers down on the table.
He stood up. "What exactly are you planning?" he asked the mercenary.

"Who?" Ekkehard asked rather suddenly with a raised eyebrow not recognizing the name."The Zabis have had a number of bastards, and I've never heard of this Fumiko person." he said not entirely sure what to make of this."Also, what do you expect from tell us this? I don't know if you realize this or not but the Zabi familiy what is left of them has not had any actual power since the OYW." he said crossing his arms after hearing what the document was about from what Siefgried had said."Also re-branding? Sleeves? I am touched that you would rename your mercenary band, but what does this mean? That you are dedicating your full attention to our cause? Though given this reveal, I suspect something else."

Lucius modestly chuckled at Siefgried's reaction as it was his calculated result before turning his thoughts back to Ekkehard. "Fair argument as it relates to the Zabis though some groups would use it as the name as a 'divine right'. I have no illusions to take over Mars Zeon but given the fact that "borrow" an stockpile of unauthorized armament from the Earth Federation. I don't think they would simply let me back with open arms after this, my hands are fairly tied." His response did a simplistic grinned before giving a shrug of his shoulders before forming his hands into a fist to explain his thoughts.
"Though yes your quite right the Zabi family lacks the official power to do anything since One year War or even those other Neo-Zeon Wars. The reason why I brought it up was simply our third member of this room, Mr. Wagner. He's a man who wishes to bring some of the old ways back with his political movement. I am worried about extremists to rationalize this. Though not all without merrier I called him into this conference and exposing my hand to ensure that wouldn't leave into a Civil War." His eyes were now fixed on Siefgried staring a hole into his soul almost like a silent command to take his seat and calm down before he continued to speak.
"Neo-Zeon tried twice before and failed with the Newborn and Axis Zeon... we talked about this before. I want to create an organization that ideals both the ideals of another group called the "AEUG" with the Zeon ideas. Minus their beliefs of changing humanity most of AEUG's goals were pure. After all, Zeon wanted to get those off them off Earth and into the stars so the Earth may heal or simply independence. I have no plans to betray Zeon Mars as it stands. It's the closest thing we have to a functional government for spacenoids and keeps those more extreme groups in check. " He takes a deep sigh before finally staring directly at Ekkehard with his calm expression cracking revealing the stressing his calm expression before speaking once again.
"My two goal is to restore the Republic of Zeon to its former glory and make it greater then before. Mars Zeon is a good benchmark but the multiple parties will begin to fight among each other like the Romans did in ancient times, which is my fear overtime. I wonder if you gentleman be interested in supporting me?" He finished his little speech before taking a sip of his coffee slowly before sitting back to await their response as he tried to collect himself.

Siefgried sat down, calmly brushing his hair out of his eyes. This man was cut from a different cloth.. But he would have to keep an eye out. He would continue to listen as Lucius spoke of his plans.
"So.. You want my support for your little group?" he asked, sitting back against the chair. "And what exactly would my position be?" he asked, taking a sip of tea.

"You speak of not wanting to betray Mars Zeon, and then in the same breath speak of supporting the restoration of a Republic of Zeon under a different set of ideals then our own. Mars Zeon has come to be the way it is for a reason, and any spacenoid state trying to have a return to form would not survive. You do not wish to see infighting, and yet what you seek to do will create competition." he said narrowing his eyes at the younger man."The Republic of Zeon is under the thumb of the Earth Federation. If you go out there and try and take it back you will have no friends, no support structure, and the Earth Federation will bring everything down to bear on you. Were it so easy to return to the Earth Sphere we would of done it long ago."
"So tell me, do you plan on propping up this apparent bastard of the Zabis and declaring them your puppet for this new Republic of Zeon? How do you even plan on accomplishing these goals you speak of? I will not stop you, but I cannot spot the resources to support you. All I can say is that the more attention away from the Martian war, the better. But, I will warn you. There are people here, that you will certainly anger. People, who hold more control then you give them credit."

Listened to his words carefully before stroking his chin. "Don't misunderstand my intent. I truly want Mars Zeon to grow and become strong enough to eclipse the 'Republic of Zeon' and keep their ideas. As for the puppet state, true I could attempt to take it over but I know it wouldn't end well and not do much. As it stands the Republic is right but I am worried when the 'Wrong' person attempts to take control and uses it for their own gains instead of the needs of the 'People'. All it takes it the wrong man to turn a Republic into an Empire like before." He replied feeling further his more pragmatic side of his mind taking on display with that response. He raised his hand to his chin-stroking it gently before finally turning to address Siefgried.
"I called you here to offer you a spot as my personal assistant Siefgried with your funds and insight might be vital in the coming future. I also would ask Rozengarten as both a Tactical Adviser and still as a friend that will keep us on the straight and narrow path with your wisdom." His tension softened a bit as before letting out a heavy sigh attempting to keep gauging the two men.

"Hmph.." Siefgried scoffed at Ekkehard. He ignored the man, not to stuur up conflict. He folded his arms as he listened to Lucius. As Lucius finished speaking, Siefgried closed his eyes to think for a bit.
"Hmm it is a very tempting offer... What would my duties intail?" he asked, resting his arms on the sides of the chair.

Ekkehard eyes darted over to Siefgried."You will do well to watch your attitude around me Ensign." he said before speaking again."While his offer may be intriguing as you put it, you should know that I will treat you going with this without permission as desertion and treason." he would say before looking over to Lucius."So, you think that you two are the 'right' men." he in return chuckled."How very confident of you." Ekkehard said before pausing for a brief moment."So, you want to make your own Zeon. But where if not the Republic? The only place for you is here in Mars. If you want my advice, I'd say quit while you are ahead." Ekkehard would say before standing up."My part in this meeting is over. And Ensign, I'd think really hard about your career before wandering off with our faithful mercenary." Ekkehard would say before departing leaving the two of them to their devices.
