SS Floater

Nearly a week after the assault on the Floppy Lion. Laredo Veil has found himself back drifting in the solitude of 2D space. Floating around Veil are dozens of notes and pictures. Currently he is playing the soldier. Advanced Recon, it seems fitting for him when you first think about it. He spends the majority of his day watching people's movements but in the black of space theres nothing to watch. Laredo spent the last three hours looking over various thing drowning himself in numerous notes about smugglers and feddie test units. He needed a break he thought to himself.

"Wake up Veil!" An incoming transmission. The voice was familiar though. Veil normally would sigh at the thought of speaking to Ghettid but he could use the distraction.

"Ghettid, what do I owe the pleasure? Haven't seen seen you since our time in Riah. Not a social call I take it?"

"Hehe, always to the point. Well I'm currently in Overlord 5 I just missed you by a day or so. I want a status update on the smugglers."

"The ledger I found on Thomas Gane's body, mentioned a shuttle, Sos Ro, its listed as a Federation Transport Shuttle Colombus Class."

"So feddies are helping out the Anti-Zeon Groups?"

"I don't think so?" The manifest says its a feddie ship but I did some digging when I was on OL5 and it turns out the Sos Ro was destroyed almost a year ago.

"A fake?"

"Yes, that's how he is getting past the Feddies."

"How's he getting past us then?"

"Not sure yet, I think the Sos Ro swaps its cargo with a ship somewhere out here. I would investigate further but it seems I'm needed here."

"Not a fan combat? You are officially there to provide Recon for our forces in the front lines. Keep our men sharp.!"

"I more concerned about my unofficial reasons to be here."

Laredo pulls out a folder from of the under his seat. Inside contains pictures of odd looking mobile suits. The one that has his attention has a white and black paint scheme.

"Lunar Titanium Armor and E-cap technology. Hmm this could be a real problem."

"We're concerned about the Juggler. We need to see it in action. The feddies have newtypes. Jamitov is unpredictable and has a hatred for us. He is a concern. How long before before you can get me some real intel."

"When I stopped being used a motion detector. You have provide support for two officers who are clearly mad men."

"Haha you've met Wu?"

"Can't say I was impressed. He seems like every Zeon officer I've come across. Over confident and painfully high self worth. Did you know he has a painting of himself in battle armor?"

"Sounds about right. I know this isn't what you signed on for Veil. You have to play the role of a soldier first to get what we want. Remember those men in space are your pawns. Use them how you see fit. I look forward to hearing what you find."

"Likewise."

"Sieg Zeon!"

Veil nods in acknowledgment. There's so much work to be done and this war isn't helping at all. He notices the time. It's almost time.

"Alright, lets play the role then."
