Somewhere near the Asteroid belt
Lt. Jack Saunders was given command of a Columbus class transport ship using fake Jupiter Self Defense force identifications. The vessel was loaded with 20 fairly modern mobile suits manufactured at the moon, all of them Zeonic models that the Chairwoman of Mars promised to her new ally.
Jack was not an stranger to Smuggling runs and knew how to steer clear of any would be Federation persuers. On the way there he had personally brought down a few patrols. Killing in cold blood left a bitter taste but his orders made it clear it needed to be done. After the long journey his shop finally arrived at the rendezvous point, he himself piloting the MSN-04 Chanel painted in his personal colors of white and Grey. The curious commander mobile suit was an amalgam of Sazabi and Quebeley parts equipped with a Geara Zulu beam machine gun and grenade launcher.

When Jack had arrived at the rendezvous point a lone Tivvay-class could be seen waiting for them. Floating quietly there in the void of space amongst the glitter of stars. It's side was presented towards Jack and his ship having arrived there before they had. Via sensors or maybe even visually two mobile suits could be seen. There was a MS-14J ReGelgu floating above the ship and a RMS-119 EWAC Zack floating to the side facing the approaching ship. Slowly however somthing else would emerge from behind the Tivvay. It was a MA-06 Val Walo in full mission mode it's mono eye flashing at making visual contact with Jack's ship and then Jack's mobile suit.
Making contact via close proximity channel a female voice would be heard."Ah there you are, glad that you showed up." Felizia said from within her ReGelgu as she looked on at the approaching Zeon vessels with a smirk. Her ReGelgu armed with the fixed 8-tube Missile Pod, 12 x Space Mine, 2 x Grenade Launcher, and 2 x Beam Saber. In her mobile suit's right hand was a Beam Machine Gun and in her left a Shield. They had arrived here avoiding JSDF and Federation patrols. Doing this using knowledge of their patrol routes and fast ship to get between sweeps. Though security on this end was lax, even with a war in progress.

Not too long before arriving at their destination they crossed path with the Tivvay-class ship that belonged to their clients. Jack knew there was no way those twenty suits they had brought all the way here would fit inside the speedy cruiser.
" This is Gault leader. Pleased to make your acquittance." The Chanel would maneuver cautiously, putting it's hand held weapon away as it approached Felicia's Regelg as a sign of good will.
" Just tell me where you want your cargo and we'll start unloading these goodies." Jack hadn't been told Felicia was so young so it was a bit of a shock to find out their commander sounded like a young girl. When he was ordered to give Commander Schor he imagined it would be the old man in cahrge of Zeon's re-supply, Jack had meet the man in person during his stay in Axis Zeon.
" You must be commander Schor daughter. Sorry about to hear about the old man passing." He would add afterwards.

Felizia would place her Beam machine gun on the back rack of her ReGelgu. The weapon locking into place as she stared at the approaching mobile suit. Having done so following their putting away of weapons, to which she supposed it was a formality."A pleasure to meet you as well." she would say in a friendly enough manner.
"If you can unload them off next to my ship here we can call in our Pazock." she said leaning leaning back in her seat a little."My crew can help with securing them and making sure they don't float away. They are pretty good at that~" she said with some amusement. Though as she went to touch her console she paused.
"You knew knew my old man?" she would ask a curious tone her her voice as she eyed the mobile suit."Guess he got around." she mumbled wondering what else her old man had gotten up to.

" I was an Ensign back then flying Gaza's C from Axis to Europa in security detail back in our Axis days. I wouldn't say I personally knew the man since he was a few steps up the ladder compared to me but we worked together more than a few times." The Chanel made hand signals to the Geara Zulu that had come with him. This message was relayed back to the Columbus class carrier which would set course to get closer to the Tivvay, it's hangar bays opening afterwards revealing the brand new Rebawoo's and Doven Wolves the Martian chairwoman promised to deliver.
All of these mobile suits had only been recently assembled and came fully equipped and with manuals translated in every language for ease of comprehension. The Columbus was also carrying the supplies needed to perform the initial maintenance on such machine though aside from their internal weapons they didn't come armed at all.

"Ah I see." Felizia would say though knew that confirmed one or two things she knew of her old man."Well, at the very least it sounds like he kept in contact with Zeon for awhile. Probably how we ended up with the two ReGelgus and two Gelgoog Stutzers." she said with a chuckle knowing her old man had not just been sitting on his hands all that time."Say~" she would say."How about while we await the Pazock you come onboard my ship? Hmm?" she asked making a gesture towards her vessel, the Val Walo still peaking out from behind.
Around this time a Gelgoog (Stutzer) and another ReGelgu would be launched from the Tivvay-class. Launched without handheld weapons they would fly over to assist with getting the delivery into position."I am sure my men and your men can work this out." she said.

" As you wish." Jack would simply reply, not seeing the need to introduce himself formally while within their combat units. It felt a little strange seeing the collection of quite frankly old mobile suits Felizia had at her beck and call. Those Stutzers were by themselves relics of the post one year war period and that Val Varo while old was still a force to be reckoned with and without a doubt the terror of every ship from here to Saturn.
The Chanel docked to the outside of the vessel, Jack himself wondering outside the cockpit, obviously wearing a normal suit and helmet, his side arm holstered at all times. He would enter the airlock afterwards amazed to find out Schor's daughter looked like a teenager. The man took his helmet afterwards showing his face to the girl.
" Lt. Jack Saunders, pleasure to finally meet you in person, Captain Schor." Little gal or not this was still her ship and he wouldn't dare disrespect the late commander Schor daughter in front of their crew.

Felizia smirked at how quickly he agreed to meet with her on board her heavy cruiser."See you aboard." she would reply before turning her ReGelgu around and maneuvering it back to her ship. Upon arrival she would land and dock the ReGelgu her crew taking care of maneuvering it to it's storage rack as she hopped out from the cockpit. With a effortless kick she propelled herself towards the hanger airlock where she would grab a hold of the safety rail. A smirk on on her face as she would enter the hanger airlock, looking forward to meeting with her guest.
Jack prior to docking perhaps would of also seen the launch of two more mobile suits from the heavy cruiser. Another MS-14A Gelgoog (Stutzer), but then a MS-14C-1A Gelgoog Cannon. Indeed their inventory was old, but Felizia and her gang had found ways of making the best use of it as they could. The Val Walo being the key part in their arsenal, one which she was very fond of.
Having taken off the helmet of her pilot suit Felizia had dawned her signature German officer cap. She gave Jack a curious inquisitive look as seeing him face to face for the first time. Sizing him up a little perhaps, though that was cut off with a smile at hearing herself be called Captain."Likewise Lieutenant." she said a tad formally."It is a pleasure to have a face to face with you." she said."Now then, how about I give you a tour of my ship?" she would ask him."Then maybe treat you." she added on."Afterall, it is the least I can do."

It had been nearly fifteen years since the last time Jack laid his eyes on a original Gelgoog. The cannon equipped variant was one of the most rare version since only a handful were made and less survived the one year war.
Jack had removed his flight suit, dressed in his Mars Zeon dress uniform which was designed to resemble the principality's rather than any of the other Neo Zeon movements complete with the mantle depicting his rank insignia, riding pants and brown boots perfectly polished.
" I would be honored, my lady." The Lt. reached out for Felicia's hand, kissing it without removing her glove.
" Nice hat, it suits you well for sure." As they got underway he couldn't help but praise her fashion sense.

"What a gentleman!" would say after he had kissed her hand."Not many of those left!" she said somewhat amused by that, having not expected it."Oh this?" she asked touching the brim of the hat."Sometimes old is the best style." she said giving it a slight adjustment."New and old can be like peanut butter and chocolate." she said with a slight chuckle addressing her age."Anyhow, lets commence with that tour. I am sure you will notice some things as we go along. Maybe some things I would miss." she would say with a slight shrug before turning around. With a slight push she would start down the old hallway of the one year war vessel. It was a ship that showed it's age in that the hand rails along the corridors and spots that crew touched had their paint warn. Slight pitting could be seen from constantly being exposed to skin oils. Around the next corner there was a missing light in the ceiling. Faded symbols of the Principality to be seen. They would pass by a series of windows that would let him see into the hanger."So this is the hanger. Its been rough trying to keep these catapults in shape. But, we have managed." she said a couple of the windows having been welded over by metal plates.

Jack was feeling very nostalgic as they floated down these halls. This had been the type of ships where he made a career for himself a few decades ago as a teenage cadet. Surely he wasn't good enough to be a part of side 3 prestigious acadey but the Zeon remnants groups had been more than welcoming. Felizia was young but this ship was still her home, she would certainly feel a little out of place in the newest type of war ships made after the Axis Zeon days.
" My lady, have you consdered coming to Mars?" He asked her later at the dinner table, choosing to sit at her side on the table.

"I have indeed." Felizia said simply as she sat at the dinner table a smirk on her face."Considered it after it was requested I go there." she said with a small shrug."There are some factors preventing that though." she would add though in reality she was hesitant to join the war effort in the Mars Sphere."We don't have enough fuel on hand to safely make the journey unfortunately. Would need to make some hits on Federation H3 movers first. My crew has experience doing that sort of thing ya know? But the real problem is sticking around long enough to gather up enough H3 from the tanks." she said having her experience be in hit and run attacks. Every moment you stay around a target is another moment they can get help."Which is why I proposed that me and my crew here do trade interdiction instead." she had having it all well thought out. Though of course she had somthing to gain from this, from staying out here in Jupiter.

The lieutenant had expected an answer like this one from the young pirate leader. He had been instructed to try and dissuade Felizia but this was a task he was a little Ill suited for since he would never get too insisting with women.
" That is most unfortunate, my lady. Our ship is almost out of fuel. We were expecting you would be kind enough to provide us with what you could but it seems we are going to be forced to pillage from the Federation if we are to make the trip back. Would you grace us with your approval to operate in your airspace? He was confident the Chanel unit at his command was more than a match for any defended target.

Felizia blinked in surprise at hearing about their fuel situation. That wide eyed surprise quickly turning into a smirk once more."Oh?" she would ask adjusting in her seat."So it would seem you will be here for some time then." she said with a slight chuckle."Figures that they wouldn't account for that detail." she said with a shrug."But yet, you are more then welcome to gather what you need while here. If anything, it will make things easier on us. But, I am going to ask one thing of you." she said tenderly pointing her index finger at him."Stick with us, and use our playbook. We operate as a guerilla force out here still after all."

" It's a great honor you have given us this opportunity, my lady. I will operate as instructed if that's what you want from us." Jack focused on finishing his meal afterwards. Not all was lost and in the time that transpired until the raid he could came up with ways to change Felizia's mind.
He gave the young pirate leader a memory unit wich contained a message from the Chairwoman herself Isabel Brandt, promising Felizia the command of the Gwanban class battleship " Mecklenburg-Vorpommern"
