Jeremiah Gotwald grinned from ear to ear. It was time for him to spread his loyalty to the Emperor to the people of this Earth!
The Commander of G-Force had a specific assignment in this mission.
He recalled his conversation with his Emperor.
"Celestial Being was invited to the Republic of Moralia. This country is a relatively new presence on the world stage. It's an extension of AEU, full of mercenaries and Weapons Industrial Complexes. One could say it's part of AEU. But as a large Power Block, it would deny that. It's a plausible deniability situation"
" A Typical Demoncracy and their love for popularity contests, they would deny that they have something like Mercenary Country." The Emperor snorted while saying that.
"Your job is wait until Celestial Being's intervention ends and use your loyalty to invite a specific red-haired mercenary who would lose his job in this Intervention.
Once Moralia falls, there won't be any jobs for men to hire. That is, until we appear. I need him for clean-up tasks." He told Jeremiah as they watched the fourth container carrying a specific mobile suit had passed through the portal.
This container had AGN-00 written on it. It is a GN UNIT!
"Understood, Your Majesty! I will leave at once!" The man with a grin departed at once.
That was a couple of days ago. Jeremiah needed to figure out where this Moralia is and what it's all about, and at the same time, who this mercenary, Marcus, wants to get.
To his surprise, it was someone good at the dirty work they envisioned. The guy loves his war. It will be perfect for that Chaos they need.
With that in mind, the Commander of G-Force decided to enjoy his morning coffee and wait for the Gundam Intervention.
~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~
"Thank you for having us, Wang Liu Mei." Sumeragi Lee Noriega. Thanked the Heiress as they found themselves in this girl's villa in Moralia. The Ptolemaios crew was on site for this mission, as they will issue orders from here.
"It was the least I could do." Wang Liu Mei replied with a beaming smile. She was super happy for some reason.
The group explored the villa, realising that this Heiress had a complete setup for running a military operation.
'Like always, she doesn't disappoint.' Sumeragi was impressed. This girl got her hands on military-issued hardware. How on Earth did she get her hands on this?
"I used my contacts to get a secure channel for your connection to Gundam Meisters. You shouldn't worry about this intervention." The Heiress smiled brightly while saying that.
"...How were you able to achieve that?" Feldt asked, impressed! How can one have a secure communication channel in a military area like that? Who could possibly be her contact?
"I have my ways. Now, for the next thing you have asked." Wang Liu Mei flicked a memory stick from her purse.
"...Do you have any information on Marcus Anaheim?" Sumeragi asked with a hopeful look. She needs some sort of intel on that guy.
"More than that." She waved the stick.
"I spoke with him in Taribia."
"...Spoke!?" Feldt and Christina gawked at that information.
"Something fascinating that I have learned." Wang Liu Mei handed the stick to the captain of Ptolemaios.
"..."
"You see, his Anti-Gundam Force raided Alejandro Corner and Laguna Harvey's houses. These two were in cohorts to take over Celestial Being and Aeolia Schenberg's plan."
"...What?"
"!!!"
The trio of girls looked spooked after hearing that!
"That's right. The Corner family joined the plan around 80 years ago when they went to investigate Jupiter and found where Solar Reactors were made.
They learned about the plan there when they found one of the Haro computer terminals containing schematics for Solar Reactors.
In this memory stick, you can find all of this. Be thankful that Marcus Anaheim is part of Celestial Being and that he protected Aeolia Schenberg's plan."
"...He is part of Celestial Being!?"
'Was I wrong in my initial assessment!?' Sumeragi frowned as she looked at the ground, her mind racing, thinking about where she had gone wrong.
"He is the one who gave us access to the Tower."
"!!!"
"...I-I see…"
The Ptolemaios' girls were in complete surprise.
"I knew that he was a great guy! Just look at what he does. Prosthetics, cheaper technology to help people, he is totally a great guy!" Christina started gushing as she found him hot looking.
"...Christina…" Feldt couldn't believe a complete 180 her fellow CIC just did.
"What? Just look what he is doing for humanity." The brown-haired girl was holding her ground when it came to her new idol.
"...Among other things…" Sumeragi clenched the memory stick. She wasn't fully convinced, because of Veda's actions, a quantum computer can't reveal anything about Anaheim.
"Why is he part of the plan? Did he ever give any reasons for it?" The Captain asked the Heiress.
"He is fully in the camp of uniting humanity and focusing on Space colonisation." Wang Liu Mei smoothly explained to Sumeragi.
"Marcus Anaheim was the one who covered and hid Solar Reactors away from the public. Alejandro had over 30 of them made to destroy the Gundams."
"!!!"
"N-No way!"
The group sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard that.
"So be thankful that we have him." The Heiress covered for her future husband.
"...That is concerning… what happened to those reactors?"
Wang Liu Mei shrugged at her.
"I might have been able to get some details out of him, but he is happily married and wouldn't easily speak just because I asked nicely." The girl shook her head in fake disappointment.
"...Moh!!! Why are awesome guys like that already married!" Christina complained loudly as she decided to leave.
"Let's go, Feldt! We need to do some shopping! We rarely have a chance to visit shops like that!"
"...But…we still have some business!"
"Go, you two. The operation happens tomorrow. So until then, you can rest and do some shopping." Sumeragi smiled at the two girls.
"Yay! Let's go, Feldt!" The older CIC pulled the pinkette away.
"...O-Okay…"
As the girls left, Sumeragi looked at the memory stick she got.
"Can I borrow your computer?" The brown-haired lady asked the Heiress.
"Sure."
With that in mind, the Tactical Forecaster went to read the data Marcus had provided to her.
~~~
"..."
"..."
"..."
'N-No way…'
Sumeragi was horrified to learn how much of Celestial Being was compromised! A literal Innovade was helping Alejandro Corner.
They built mobile suits and something called GN Tau Drives, and they were considering using Celestial Being to unite the world before destroying the organisation with armies of GN-powered mass-production units.
But someone leaked information, and Marcus Anaheim swiftly took over and covered for them, even getting access to Tower.
'But only Innovades can access Veda from a distance. He couldn't have access to it.'
There was a missing link… until then… Marcus is part of Celestial Being.
'Until I can prove that he is a traitor… I should use him for the plan.'
Sumeragi frowned as she believed her gut feeling, but at the same time, she could see that Marcus was helping them and risking his head for Celestial Being.
It's a contradiction!
"...Ugh… let's watch and see."
The Tactical Forecaster rubbed her forehead. Things make no sense to her. What could he be planning?
The only thing she could think of is power and standing. Anaheim will have that as time moves on. That could be the angle, but what about Veda? How could he possibly hack it? There was nothing about Veda in the memory stick, only GN Tau Drives, Ribbons' betrayal and the scheme to take over the world.
'Oh?'
Her eyes ended up on the tit bit of information. There could be another splitter group? Alejandro made something called Gundam Thrones that went silent.
These people could be responsible for Veda's hacking.
'Marcus Anaheim may be an asset that could help us to fulfil HIS plan.'
For now, they will play along, but it doesn't mean she will lower her guard.
~~~
The Celestial Being's intervention broadcast worldwide. It was AEU's way of picking a fight with the Gundams.
It was one of the world's superpowers against the mysterious Paramilitary Organisation. Sadly for the AEU, they do not have a Genius Inventor who can pick up the slack and develop something decent.
Their only solution was using overwhelming odds in their favour. But this is where one of the best tactical torecasters in the world comes to play.
The woman devised a strategy that would put this Super Power on its knees.
And sure enough… it lasted less than half an hour. However, an incident caused some worry.
Exia's pilot, Setsuna, left his cockpit, mid-fight against a custom Enact. That has raised some red flags for Celestial Being.
Now that Marcus is an Observer, he has the sweet details he can use once he wants to put a plug on this organisation.
He can persuade other observers to pull back from financially supporting Celestial Being, for having a pilot who does not understand that one's identity is a top-tier secret at the same level as the GN Drive.
As the world is reeling back from Celestial Being's overwhelming power, Marcus was already called in for a meeting with the top brass of his government.
"Our thanks for arrival at such short notice, Commander Anaheim." One of the suit-wearing government officials said to Marcus.
He was in the Capital to meet people to discuss the aftermath of Celestial Being's Intervention.
"I assume this is because of the whopping Moralia and AEU just got from Celestial Being."
"More or less. Our Over Flags, your creations are the only ones that can put up a decent fight against these Gundams.
This is why we are investing in you." One of the suited men said to Marcus.
"That means that you are to expand your operations. We have prepared a list of pilots who could pilot your Over Flags.
On top of that, we are increasing your budget."
Marcus internally grinned. This is what he expects every time the Gundams do something. Bit by bit, he is gaining more power and authority.
But for this to work perfectly, he needs to show some results.
"Understood, sir. I shall continue to improve our machines. I have figured out some of the Gundam technologies from the hand we acquired." Marcus smoothly explained that he 'learned' something. Perfectly honest, he didn't even touch it. Most of the time, the hand was with Billy.
"Good, very good. We have forwarded a list of people who could assist you with the development of your Over Flags, among them is Ralph Eifman."
'Wasn't that the old man who realised Celestial Being's real reason for existence, and what is the GN particle? Thus, assisting in Billy's understanding of it further than anyone outside Celestial Being?
I suppose I need to accept him, but I can't allow any of them to steal the thunder, not until I am in high enough rank.' Internally, Marcus pondered the cons ans pros of this.
He could use his newly hired muscle to wreak havoc in the name of Celestial Being.
Indeed, He will have Ali al-Saachez, who can do his dirty work and pin it on Celestial Being.
"Understood, sir. I will use his genius and experience in combating Celestial Being." Marcus smoothly nodded to his superiors.
"Wonderful, we will contact you if we learn anything about Celestial Being and their next move."
After saying that, he left the meeting room.
Outside of the room, there were Billy and Graham as they looked bored with waiting for him.
When they saw him, they swiftly recovered their enthusiasm.
"Well?"
Marcus showed something. It was a document.
"Well, boys, we are officially Union's Special Forces called Over Flags." He showed them a new crest their force had adopted, based on Flag's head.
"Oh…wow… they took the mobile suit's name and branded the whole Special Force after it." Graham liked that! A lot!
"Yeah, and look at our orders." He handed the list to the brown-haired mobile suit developer who spotted a familiar name on it.
"They are assigning Ralph Eifman to our force!" Billy Katagiri looked delighted to see him; this man was Billy's teacher after all!
"This is awesome!"
Marcus smirked, seeing their enthusiasm. This is good. Now that Moralia is all but gone and AEU is damaged, the Chaos is picking up. Soon, he will have his Mercenary, and Inventor Emperor will be able to use him to make more opportunities for himself.
