Dragon's Fury (Siege of Londenion)

Commander Sonia Lortie hopped down from a platform next to her MSK-008R Rick Dijeh with goggles on as Lorena passed by. A slight smirk on her face as she took a step forward."You must be tat new arrival that came across my desk? Pleasure to meet you in person Lt. Commander." shhe said extending a hand while her other one lifted up her goggles. She had been tweaking her mobile suit since her last battle. Had a few kinks to work out that she had noticed when running checks."Taking a tour of the hanger?" she asked seeming rather laid back and friendly for a Commander.

Agent Kotch was already going over the known data of the target colony of Londenion. Seeing that it was the HQ of Londo Bell it was obvious that the assualt force would need to play dirty. A small enough force could establish a quick beach head, likely Infantry and a vehicle compliment would be needed.

Kotch had their head down still in their flight suit. The glow of the tablet computers screek obscuring the famed pilots identity. But then he began to speak. His voice slighlty deep with a cool as ice tone.
"I request 6 Komusai with Army troops and vehicles, Preferably Sappers also. I will also require engineers who know how to work the reactors of a colony."

After a brief pause he spoke agaij before anyone could respond.
"The Komusai will need short range burn drives. For a quick get away when we get the target or need to pull back."

Fumiko had decided to remain by Lucius side as they went over the preparations for their surprise raid on Londo Bell headquarters. She was appropriately dressed, wearing a tight neo zeon standard issue space suit. Naturally, a distraction was going to be needed and this new arrival agent Kotch had came up with a fairly amusing plan. Fumiko would suggest the shuttles would be launched scattered to avoid detection. If all six of them traveled to the target together they would certainly be easier to spot by the enemy. This also made their interception harder since all shuttles would be coming from different vectors at different times, effectively ensuring someone would get through ... eventually.

" I can also help by suppressing their point defenses and knock down their communication arrays." The blunette had decided to leave the Zodiac back at their HQ and instead bring her own blue Rebawoo, optimized for quick strikes at vital infrastructure. " That should also make our exit easier if they can't get a bead on us when the time comes to scatter." They couldn't just come up with a way in, it was also vital to establish a secure escape route which would be used to retrieve their price.

"I apreaciate it. This is Londo Bells home. I expect us to be facing stiff resistance. But I have some plans to waate their time and resources.

We need to take the colonys reactors, also by extension we will likely have taken engineering as a whole if that objective is achieved. Then we begin draining the reactor coolant and tampering with the life support. The cylinder is large enough this won't be too immediate of a problem for them. But it will be long lasting and compund on itself."

Then Kotch turned the tablet off and looked at her would be allies during this deployment. She thought of the two gunner ZuluS she deployed with. Likely she could get them to come with and provide some kind of support. But likely it would not be a good idea. Too many things could go wrong. But an extra pair of hands could do with setting charges on the colonys transparent panes.

"I won't lie here. If we even make one wrong move we likely will be killed. If we could deploy some of the new mines I deployed earlier perhaps we can keep Londo Bell busy trying to figure out where we really are. It would be eassier to close the distance and prodvide us cover that very well will damage the colony if it gets too close."

These new mines were rather sinister. Each one looked like a dummy but nestled inside was a very much active warhead and simple electronics That made the mono eyes and sensors of the mines light up as normal. They even had a limited minovsky particle signature which helped disrupt sensors when in large numbers.

Kotch then locked eyes with fumiko for a brief momment. His own face still obscured by the mostly opaque visor. Then Kotch took in the men and women assembled before them.
"If I could take in the Sinanju And it's pilot we can all do this. They couldn't have anything that hits nearly as hard as that monster.

We have the skill the federation doesn't posses. And most importantly we are truly free men and women who have worked to build what we have. We can't let the federation take from us like they did our ancestors and family."

" Heh heh!" The blunette girl was not afraid of death as evident on that confident chuckle, had that been the case she would have never joined Lucius in the first place. Fumiko's disregard of mortal danger was a more foolish type of pride- a desire to experience new and dangerous thrills rather than blissful ignorance or psychotic positivism. When the briefing ended she went to Lucius side seeing this was his hour of need. She would offer him kind and reassuring words along with signs of genuine physical affection.

When it came time to deploy, her blue Rebawoo had already been kept in it's faster MA Mode. This particular model had been outfitted with larger fuel tanks. Four massive anti radiation missiles hung under the wings of the main module which would be used to disrupt Londo Bell sensors and communications ahead of the raid.

" This is blue jay, I am taking off!" She would signal after being loaded into the catapult. Upon being launched she was going to set course towards the lunar surface, finding a sneaking path through their sensors coverage. For the sake of covertness all communications would be silent until the infiltration was successful. Fumiko's control of the transformed Rebawoo was excellent even with all that heavier than usual equipment bolted into it's frame. This Zeta Gundam knock off-as some people called it- had performance on par with the original which allowed it to excel at roles outside it's intended one.

Evading the Federation patrols required patience, since she couldn't exactly head to Londenion on a straight line unless she felt like jeopardizing the entire operation, It was a long flight that required finesse. 30 minutes had passed and now she was finally at the surface, flying at medium speed while evading prominent terrain features. Thankfuly all those sensors and radar dishes were installed on the outside which made it easier to spot and neutralize rather than having to risk going into the intricate network of tunnels. These installations were protected from barriers that were designed to deflect asteroids so she would need to whittle them down first with a couple of accurate beam rifle shots. The Rebawoo would make an aggressive high speed pass first, before firing one of the anti-radiation missiles at the first large radar dish. The homing projectile would explode at a set distance, riddling the dish with shrapnel all the way to it's support structure, effectively rendering it absolutely useless.

With this array down the door would be wide open for the assault to begin. At best they wold have an hour to do the deed and get the hell out.

Siefgried walked over to the mobile suit, jumping from floor and floating into the cockpit. He closed the hatch, fastening his seat belts, taking a deep breath. This Gundam seemed a bit out of date, but it would suit him just fine. He made sure to put the Mobile suit in low power mode. He waited for the order to deploy, during that time he would think about the mission and how to go about completing it.

When the order was given to launch, he kept the Gundam's internal power on to avoid detection from the enemy forces. The Komusai moving along slowly alongside the others. It was quiet between the pilots, the silence only being broken by the soft rumble from the Komusai engine. He wanted to encourage the rest but decided not to, in case their comm channels would be intercepted.

Siefgried preferred to be in this type of mission, a small group infiltrating a base. The success of this mission could lead to a major turning point in the war. He took a deep breath, waiting for further orders.
