As he was being dragged to the Prince of Aargau Emil finally realized what ship he was being brought to. It's that ship.. the one that's been haunting me this whole time.. I need to get away from it. ohgodohgodohgod he thought. However, Laura managed to stop him before he did anything stupid.
"Don't worry, just do what they say and I'm sure you'll be fine." she said, trying to calm the nervous young pilot. It seems to have worked, since he let go of the handles, leaving the mobile suit in the control of his capturers. After a little while, he was brought to the cargo area of the Prince of Aargau.
As he got there, he were told to get out, obviously, so he listened to their demands and came out with his hands above his head. He tried his best not to break down, even with all the guns he had pointed at him. After a little while, Laura also came out, hands above her head. This seems to have surprised their capturers a little. Emil managed to let out a little "Don't shoot! We'll do what you say." before he went back to being quiet again.

The Prince of Aargau's captain waited inside the airlock beside his boisterous companion, Sarabajka, as the both of them waited for the outer locks to disengage.
"Captain, I shit you not. That Federation GM E was like a freaking clown car!" said the assistant before he burst out into laughter. "Seriously, I'm not lying. When that hatch went down, fully two people came out. Some kid and a girl that doesn't look half bad."
Kajka, the CCT's captain, also laughed and he couldn't wait to meet his new guests. It was clearly becoming apparent that except for insignia, this ship could easily pass for an Earth Federation registered war vessel in a pinch. The man couldn't help but feel like a slight pirate with this newest acquisition, and no doubt the crew felt a same. A quick turn of a lever later, the two were out in the first cargo hold of the Prince of Aargau, recently vacated by Nadia and occupied instead by a damaged GM E, technicians, and a handful of armed crew members.
Walking up to the two surrounded Earth Federation captives, Kajka took a moment to size up the two while Sarabajka took more interest in the blond female. Sticking out his right hand, Kajka introduced the two to his ship. "Welcome to the Prince of Aargau. I am captain Kajka Marecek, and this is my XO Sarabajka Paton. It is my duty to inform you two that you all are now considered prisoners of wars pursuant to Article 4 of the Third Geneva Conventions. As you are aware, you will be afforded the protections and rights as legal prisoners of wars, so if you are so inclined, could I have your names and ranks? Also, are either of you in need of any medical attention?"

Being surrounded by people with guns seems like something Emil will have to get used to around here. Either way, the captain of the ship seems to be decent enough. Emil tried to respond to their requests, but the sheer amount of guns made him quite nervous. Laura noticed this, so she saluted and began talking.
"I am Lieutenant Laura Glensburg of the Earth Federation Space Forces." Nodding towards Emil, she responds once again. "And this nervous little boy is my subordinate, Seaman Emil Myberg, him also from the Earth Federation Space Forces."
Putting her hand down, she let out a sigh of relief before shaking the captain's hand. Once again, she answered his query.
"We're both unharmed.." She looks over at Emil again. "At least physically. However, my little friend here seems to be getting more nervous all the time." Giving the captain an innocent smile, she asked for a favor. "Is there any way to.. lower the amount of guns you have pointed at him?"

Kajka motioned for the men to lower their firearms and then beckoned the two prisoners to follow him into the pressurized area of the ships. Behind them, engineers and technicians already began analyzing the recently captured mobile suit and even a standard wipe of its memory banks could be reversed with enough patience. Sarabajka remained behind to oversee the process, having lost interest in the woman as soon as he had found it, and he began to scold Swarovski and Reynolds for their misappropriation of issued gear even though the latter two knew that their XO was merely joking around.
Once safely inside the cabin, Kajka took off his helmet and instructed a handful of men to stand guard while the rest were to return to their respective duties. A man from the opposite side came bearing a pouch with a straw attached, which the captain took as soon as it was handed to him.
"So, first thing's first. If you don't mind answering me, why exactly is an officer and an enlisted man sharing a one man cockpit way out here in uncontested Zeon space? I don't suppose you two are the ones responsible for the scare on one of our resource mines in the area." Taking a long sip from the beverage pouch, Kajka then added, "Oh, and would you two like anything to drink?"

Being led into the cabin and some of the guards leaving managed to make Emil a bit less nervous. Getting his helmet off also seemed to make him feel better. He was about to try and answer the man's questions, but Laura interrupted him and did it herself.
"Well.. it's a bit complicated." She chuckled a little. "You could almost say I forced him to bring me." Trying to laugh, but obviously a bit nervous, she continued. "But to make a long story short, I met him on Side 6, and I thought this would be the best way of transport."
Trying to change the subject, Laura answered another one of the captain's questions instead. "Well, the ones trying to attack the mines.. That's us, alright." She sighed a little. "Even us officers have to follow orders, you know."
Realizing that that might be a bit of a touchy subject, she tries to distract him with something else instead. "Oh, a drink would be nice, and I'm sure Emil would love one, as well."
Emil was quite nervous about receiving drinks from people after what happened the last time, so he tried to decline the offer. "Err.. I'd much rather no-" However, Laura interrupted him before he had a chance to finish.
"Now now, let's not be rude. If they are generous enough to offer it, we should take it and be happy." Looking back at the captain, she continued. "So, what do you have?"

The captain listened attentively to his Earth Federation counterpart, making mental note of her words and nodding regularly. He would relay the information to Solomon, but it wasn't his job or qualification to conduct a thorough investigation of the captives. No, that was the task of those on the asteroid fortress; his mission remained the transportation of prisoners, and that beat combat duty any day. Kajka was certain the rest of his crew didn't mind the temporary job either.
"Well, we have your normal assortment of water, sodas, tea, coffee, hot cocoa, and I think we still have some orange juice left, but I'm not too sure about that. In any case, you two will be sharing a room recently vacated by one of our own pilots since space is a bit of a premium on this ship. But, I don't think it'll be too bad, because we'll be at Solomon real shortly."
Kajka called to attention the orderly and instructed him to provide the requested refreshments to Glensburg and Myberg, instructing him to meet them at the pilot's crew quarters. Recently passkeyed, Kajka put up small card and placed it up against a black protrusion and waited for the door to open. What greeted him, however, was a pair of yellow boyshorts visibly floating a mere meter away from the captain's face. The sight even attracted some of the guards who decided to peak in to see why their captain had fallen so silent so suddenly, but they were quick to return to their positions before he could notice.
"Erm," Kajka sounded, trying to explain the situation. He would make sure to scold Nadia when she returned, but for now he quickly reached out and grabbed the undergarment and balled it up in his hand before sticking it inside his deep trouser pockets. "Well, almost recently vacated by one of our pilots. Oh, look, your drinks have arrived."

"Haha.." Laura let out a little chuckle before she burst out in laughter. "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Emil was surprised at this sudden outburst, and so did the captain of the ship also seem to be. She kept laughing while trying to explain why. "I've got the same kind of underwear at home." Trying to stop laughing, she kept on talking. "You know, I guess we're not too different, after all."
Grabbing the two drinks she had ordered and giving one to Emil served as a nice way to make her stop laughing.
But after that, she got a more serious facial expression, something Emil hadn't seen her have in quite a while. "Speaking of home.. I guess we're not going there for a while." Laura sighed. "I've heard that this rock you're presumably taking us to has some really nasty security, so I guess we'll be stuck there, at least until the other feddies decide to negotiate for our release."
She noticed that Emil had gotten a sad expression on his face, something she particularly didn't enjoy, so she tried to fix it. "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be fine. We always are, right?" Emil smiled a little and nodded.
She let out another sigh before continuing. "Oh well, c'est la vie, right?" Laura had a thought, one she decided to share with the others. "Say, is it possible for us to meet the pilots who captured us? I'm a bit curious as to who were able to capture us so easily, even though we were in a GM."

The Prince of Aargau's captain presented a tired expression and allowed his EFSF counterpart's laughter to subside before addressing her question. "You are right about Solomon, but I wouldn't worry too much about it." Scratching the back of his head, he turned away and went outside to let the two talk amongst themselves.
Just then he could hear the beep for the airlock being engaged and shortly after saw Alice moving toward him with her helmet snugly under one of her arms. "Well, speak of the devil," Kajka said in response to the his counterpart's request to speak with the Zeon pilots, "she's already here."
Kajka moved out of the way to allow Alice to get a good view of the Federation captives, to which the Zeon pilot said, "Huh? I didn't think it was a trainer model."
"Actually, they both came out of a normal GM E," corrected one of the nearby guards.
Raising an eyebrow, Alice then asked, "Oh, in that case, why the hell were they in-"
"Long story, seaman. Just uh, this is lieutenant Glensburg and seaman Myberg," Kajka interrupted before he squeezed himself between the bulkhead and Alice. "They wanted to speak with you; I have to send off a report to Solomon HQ."
The young Zeon pilot briefly watched as her captain distanced himself from the group, and then turned her attention back to the uniformed Federation personnel. "Okay then, my name is Alice, and our other pilot isn't here right now, but it's fine since I did most of the shooting," she said before extending an open hand. "Nice to meet you two. Hope I didn't jar your heads too much!"

Laura chuckled a little. "I guess we shouldn't worry too much." As the Zeon pilot entered, she stared her up a bit. This isn't the girl he met in Neo Hong Kong City. I guess that girl he met isn't a pilot, after all. Unless that other pilot is her.. she thought, as she started smiling.
Still smiling, Laura shook the hand of the young Zeon pilot. "Alice, huh? I'm Laura, and this little fellow next to me is Emil" Emil nodded a little. "Oh, and don't worry, we're fine." As she let go of Alice's hand, she asked tried asking a few questions. "Say, you wouldn't be the pilot of that odd-coloured GM E I saw earlier, would you? Also, isn't that the GM E we lost a while ago when we were trying to help this ship?"

"Ah ah ah ah," Alice repeated, waving a single finger disapprovingly at the female EFSF officer. "You're our prisoners; you don't get to ask the questions. We do!"
The vivacious girl winked playfully at the two while measuring up the two prisoners and basking in warm feeling that pervaded her body. It was one thing defeating an enemy, but capturing an intact enemy mobile suit and fully two people? Even better, the fact that the group also included a fully commissioned Earth Federation officer would definitely bode well for her resume. It sure as hell beat patrol duty back on Solomon! Shame that Nadia wasn't here though.
"But I can tell you that I was indeed the pilot of that GM you saw. That, and I'm actually fairly new here, so I don't know what this ship has done in the past."

"To be honest, I expected you guys to ask us more questions, but that's ok with me." Laura replied. "And my little pilot friend here probably likes it better that way." she said as she grabbed Emil a bit on the head.
Emil tried to speak, but once again, Laura interrupts him before he has any chance. "The guys on this ship traumatized this little boy the first time he met them, you know." Emil tried to have his say in this. "Please, you don't have to tell her." Laura replied in a slightly angry tone. "No, this girl needs to know who she's working with, just in case."
Laura started telling her. "Well, we got an SOS from this ship just as soon as we were about to attack the Zeon fleet. So, since this thing looks exactly like a federation transport craft we answered their call, of course." She curled her hair a bit. "However, just as we were trying to help them get their supposedly broken engine running, two Zakus bursted out of the cargo. Before he could even react, this guy's wingman died." Laura snaps her fingers. "Just like that. In a split second, his only ally was dead. That mobile suit you are using, it is stained with the blood of that man, and the innocence of this little boy."
Keeping it up, she kept talking. "He still has nightmares about it every night, and he hasn't been able to sleep properly ever since, and he probably never will. It made him even more repressed, and now he hardly talks to anyone he doesn't know." Suddenly, Laura stared the young Zeon pilot straight in the eyes. "Are you sure you can live with that? Knowing that that suit you're using has caused a boy this young so much pain?"

What was she listening to? Who did this woman think she was? The audacity of this captive EFSF officer to say as much as she did hit Alice as appalling, if not outright foolish. Surely the Earth Federation comprised itself of people other than loud mouthed officers and spineless enlisted men.
Visibly irate, Alice rebuked, "The Zeon Space Assault Forces conducts all actions in accordance to the rules and guidelines agreed upon by all parties to this conflict."
This was, of course, the textbook answer that the soldiers gave to inquiring persons as Alice had no immediate way to verify the officer's claims-- not that she wanted to in the first place. It didn't matter in any case, since the Zeon pilot found the entire story to be extremely self-conceited and biased.
"And I'm not the person who decided to send this kid out to fight an enemy!" Alice exclaimed pointing at the blond haired boy. "The Duchy and the Federation are in a declared state of war, and yet you're blaming us for shattering his 'innocence'?"
Alice took a moment to collect herself before continuing. "This is war! You don't pin the blame on your enemy for ruining his happy-go-lucky disposition! And if you do, you should be smart enough to realize that you are just as responsible of doing so as we are. We didn't force him to sign up and fight when your own words make it obvious he shouldn't be fighting in the first place! I find your claims ridiculous, absurd, and a downright mockery of those who have lost more than their 'innocence'."
The sweet taste of victory had been thoroughly soured by the prisoners. Maybe perhaps she let the Federation officer get to her far too easily, but it mattered little to the Zeon pilot as she had no control over the fate of Glensburg and Myberg. In any case, Alice found herself leaving the two captives to their own devices and locking the door behind her, muttering something under her breath as she made her way to her quarters.
