((This is way late to interdiction in the action going on so far, but I'm going to say I didn't authorize nor plan for a second attack after having both separatist factions retreat. It was stated late in the OOC but I haven't been paying attention to RP'S for studies, but I'm going to retcon and return to before the alarm raise. The next plot point is the retrieval of the fourth gundam and regrouping of both groups. I'm sorry for any inconvenience and would have done something sooner had I known. I am aware everyone would like to have more conflict play through the story, and such events will come.))

Tried to include as many people as I can to ensure everyone knows where they can be, or what's happening where. I also got a few names mixed up backwards in the RP, so I think I fixed it (regarding gundam pilot assignment)||
Orb Shipyard: After sending the security team to the shipyard, Commander Hazuko had Ensign Kage in the Sasu, along with two Taerus, re-enter the classified room that held the gundams. Hazuko took Mochizuki in a launch shuttle as the Sasu cut through the metal walls to where the final gundam was stored. From the explosions, a support column broke and latched into the gundam's lift, providing the error from before. After having the three mobile suits pull the gundam out, Hazuko ordered Lieutenant Commander Mochizuki to be assigned to the gundam, and had him activate it. Hazuko had the four mobile suits return to the Uzumi, now filling up its hangar completely, as the final reports came from the security team. Aside from several official's bodies, the Atlantic Federation's President wasn't among them. The likelihood of it being pulled into the vacuum of space was low, but the other options were grim. Once back on the Uzumi Nara, Commander Hazuko ordered for a final check on the passengers, and allowed a contingent from both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT to send a shuttle to the Uzumi to reunite their military with their officials. So far most of the passengers were checked, and the authenticity of their identity was confirmed by higher officials in each group. The Commander had the four pilots of the gundams, Taiki, Mochizuki, Kage and Koizumi, along with XO Autumn join him in the captain's quarters to brief them on the situation regarding the new mobile suits. Ensign Katami was left in charge on the bridge.
Ghost Fleet: As the remnants of Logos and Blue Cosmos flew further and further away, they began to dissembler two of the five Taerus they stole from Orb. Their components, design and data would be relayed back to the home of the Ghosts in the debris belt. There, the mobile suit engineers would interpret any great advance that could be incorporated into a mobile suit upon Joseph Mikail's request. So far. the reward was worth the physical cost, but if the Loyalists and those gundams hadn't intervened, the Ghosts would have completed their objective flawlessly. It was nearing the time Joseph requested to treat his surprise guest to the Thixo, so the guards should be escorting her up anytime now, along with the captain and the fake human Flay Allster.
Loyalist Fleet: After retreating from the Orb shipyard, the Loyalists were celebrating. They had fewer casualties and ultimately achieved their goal. The commander had requested some of the pilots and infiltration personal to give their reports personally and sent them off to their commander on the Lenore. Encrypted well enough for only coordinators at the very least, and loyalists at the most, it contained the design data of the Taeru, as well as the more interesting reports about the unknown mobile suits. He then met Asakura, Halkelin, and Soushani
||Commander Hazuko, Captain of the Uzumi Nara|| ||Location; Uzumi Nara Hangar|| ||With; Autumn, Taiki, Mochizuki, Kage, and Koizumi|| ||OOC; Imagine Hazuko's office much like Rau le crueset's office from SEED, with a desk in one section.||
In the rather small room that Hazuko resided in for his command, five people were gathered near the commander's desk, and the man himself sitting in the chair, sitting parallel to the edge. On the table were the four files of the gundam and one for the Taeru mobile suits. "Until today, only the Taeru and the Uzumi Nara were known to be part of project H. They were the two programs approved by the Orb council, and expected to be the only products. Now everyone, including the Zala Loyalists and Ghost of Cosmos know that wasn't the case. I was in command of the project and, along with Morgenroete's agreement, began developing the four gundams."
"After the past Bloody Valentine wars, it was agreed that Orb was lacking both the technological and productive capabilities of the Earth Alliance and the Zaft organization.. We also took into account that when both of those superpowers developed prototype mobile suits, the units were hijacked. We took the incidents into consideration, and placed these four mobile suits under the utmost secrecy. Each of them have only two blueprints in existence, and one of each are right here."
Hazuko glided his hand over the files. "To also deter theft, each unit is designed to only accept one pilot at a time through a retinal recognition system. The first pilot to activate and pilot the unit becomes its pilot. This can not be changed until we return the mobile suits to Morgenroete, meaning the mobile suits are now entrusted to each of you, and you are now the assigned pilot of that mobile suit. Each of them were developed with a specific role to be performed in combat, so you will be trained in that singular role." He paused for a moment to let the crew take in the information.
Name: Haru Hazuko Genetic Type: Natural Rank: Commander Position: Uzumi Nara Captain Background & Personality: A true commander of Orb, Haru Hazuko has been a loyal Orb soldier since he could sign up. Before the advent of the M1 Astray, he was proud of the Orb's military might and felt it could defend against ZAFT or the Earth Forces without mobile suits. When the invasion of Orb happened, he was proven wrong and focused on generating his own anti-mobile suits tactics. Some of which were successful, and he was promoted to Commander by the end of the second war. He was selected as the Orb military's first choice to captain the Fujin, and he recommended his long-time crewmember Ryuu Taiki to transfer onto the ship as well. With Haru's experience, the recommendation was accepted.
Unlike his subordinate, Haru is a very serious and strict military commander. While he knows about the cost of war, he also believes war is sometimes a necessary evil. He holds a dislike for the Earth Alliance and ZAFT after each invasion on the Orb homeland. He also smokes often and has an occasional drink for celebrations. With his knowledge of the previous major gundam projects, he was the biggest supporter and influence on Project H(inode), and remained paranoid all the way to the launch ceremony. Appearance:

Listening to Alex's comment, Itsuki also thought about the Orb Military and its role to destroy the rebels or separatist forces.

Hazuko turned in his chair, setting his hands on the table and clasping his hands together. "The Taeru was to become the next frontline mobile suit of Orb, and that was what the council saw beneficial from this project. They are not aware of these four new mobile suits, only Morgenroete and I were aware of the four experimental mobile suits. It is highly likely that the council will hold a trial because of my participation, but that isn't your concern. Morgenroete's intent for those prototypes however is to test the capabilities of a fully coordinated team, with individualized combat roles." He did not however reveal the rest of the expectations of the prototypes.

Yaichiro got a displeased expression on his face. "In other words, a private contractor like Morgenroete once more took it on themselves to develop military G-Weapons in secret from our government in spite of the dire problems such action has historically caused. We should have nationalized them and brought them under military control years ago. At least your participation likely boosted security enough to where the Gundams weren't stolen, Sir. They'd probably have produced them with or without you."
What he referred to was clear. Morgenroete's first set of Gundams dragged Orb into War and led to Orb being seized by the Earth Alliance. Then Morgenroete's Coordinators fled to the PLANTS and made ZAFT's Second Stage Gundams, starting THAT conflict. G-Weapon development had debatably done as much harm as good, the harm only stalled by a certain Ultimate Coordinator and his allies. The vast majority of times that Morgenroete personnel had constructed a G-Weapon, someone had tried to steal it.
"Well, I don't at all mind learning more CQC tactics and trying to improve myself, but I'm no specialist. I'm still trying to find ways to make the Sasu more versatile without hindering its performance in any way. I'm not your first choice for a strict CQC machine, and it shows."
Name: Yaichiro Kage, 20 Genetic Type: Coordinator Rank: Lieutenant, Junior Grade Position: Uzumi Nara Mobile Suit Pilot Background & Personality: Having lost his family during the First Bloody Valentine War and having no other prospects in spite of his fine academics, Yaichiro signed up for the Orb military to help deter a second invasion of Orb when he finished school. He realized that little had been settled with permanence in the conflict and soon found his fears confirmed. Not long after finishing his training, he found himself participating in the Second Bloody Valentine War as a MVF-M11C Murasame Pilot. He proved to be a good all-purpose pilot, having a predisposition for ranged combat but refusing to let his melee skills suffer as a result. His actions during the war promoted him a grade and would eventually see him assigned to the Uzumi Nara. Appearance:

"Morgenroete already supplies Orb's military exclusively, there's no advantage in nationalizing such a company, but it isn't our decision to make. Whether they decide to develop their prototypes or not is their decision, I just offered their program protection provided the mobile suits went directly to the Uzumi Nara, and by extent the Orb military. Despite my best preparation, the Taeru models were hijacked and I was forced to have three of you become the pilots without knowledge of these suits. For that I am sorry, but there is nothing we can do about it now."

||Lieutenant Ryuu Taiki, XO of the Uzumi Nara|| ||Location; Uzumi Nara|| ||With; Uzumi Nara hangar crew|| ||Episode Opening Song|| ||OOC; ||
Ryuu was stunned at the information the new pilots were receiving. If he knew piloting that mobile suit once would mean forever, he would never have stepped into it. He could take easing back in with short piloting sessions, but full deployment was months aware from a reality as far as he believed. He kept his composure in front of the others, intending to question Hazuko personally.
Name: Ryuu Taiki (23) Genetic Type: Coordinator Rank: Lieutenant Position: Uzumi Nara XO Background & Personality: Ryuu was an orphan at the age of 7, and since his parents customized his appearance , he wasn't adopted for a few years. As a Coordinator, he was advanced in schooling, but was ridiculed by natural children and their parents who condoned coordinators. He joined the military of Orb sometime after the events of Bloody Valentine in fear of Orb's inclusion as the war dragged on. While he was acceptable as an Astray pilot, his suit was destroyed on the first day of fighting and he choose to become a crewmen instead. Serving with a man named Hazuko, he was able to survive the first and second Bloody Valentine wars. He gained the rank of Lieutenant with Hazuko's personal request for him to be his XO on the Uzumi Nara.
Ryuu believes deeply in Orb's motto, but also thinks if someone has the ability to help others, they should whether it involves them or not. With the shock of his experience, he gets shaky when piloting a mobile suit. He also holds a grudge against Blue Cosmos for his parent's death. He often listens to music to calm himself down, or concentrate. Appearance:

" Don't apologize Commander! I'm actually proud to serve in anyway to the motherland of Orb! "Itsuki then made a fist pump like pledge towards the Commander.

Seran Ester reviewed the reports he was sent in his office on the Lenore, built the same way as Patrick Zala's office back on Aprilius One. Seran Always had a cold shoulder in this room, as if his former icon was watching over him for any wrong move. Seran closed the reports, switching over to begin video communication with the flagship of the shipyard raiding group. As the image of another ship began to appear, Seran looked at the selected pilots and soldiers the commander chose to bring to the small meeting. "Begin your reports." he said.
Name: Seran Ester (31) Genetic Type: Rank: Councilman Loyalist Commander Position: Loyalist Commander Background: Before becoming a councilman, Seran Ester was a supporter of Patrick Zala. When the second war came, he became a councilman and rallied the remainder of Zala's faction and became their voice on the council. While detested by others, he supported the Destiny plan because he believed it would condemn most Naturals while Coordinators would remain unharmed. When that failed however, he was put on trial along with the rest when Lacus Clyne became the supreme Chairwoman of the council. After the Librarian Works attacks however, he was broken out by Zala's radicals and fleed with a small portion of of Zaft's force and nearly all of Zala's supporters. With this new force created, he named them all the Zala Loyalists and set on a mission of destroying the murderous Naturals, while intending to prove that Coordinators are the better species.
