After boarding "Athena's Wrath" Anya is standing in the hangar. She is staring up at her mobile suit. She quickly looks around and sees other personal buzzing around her.
"Wow...Did I make the right choice?"
She shakes her head and sighs. She goes back to staring at her Zaku, she starts thinking to herself.
What am I doing here? like really Anya...making movies wasn't good enough? I had to become a mobile suit pilot...why not a teacher..or something less dangerous?
Anya laughs to herself.
"Well...time to start my new life....."
She smiles and starts walking down the catwalk, away from Zaku.

Purgatorio, Zeon Space Fortification
Athena’s Wrath, Chivvay II-class
Hangar bay
If there is something she failed to appreciate until now, it is the wonder and awe that a large collection of combat-ready machines can give you.
Colonel Veronica Wu folded her arms across her chest as her eyes took in the sight of the rows of Zaku II High Mobility Types lined up in the hangar. The refitted Chivvay II-class battleship is a step above and beyond the original ship design, one that Veronica can appreciate.
Not only that but another Chivvay II-class the Nyarlathotep, the Zanzibar II-class Veiled Intent, and the Musai class Freyja's Anger are sitting in dock with the Athena's Wrath. This mighty collection of Zeon naval might makes up the "ZMF 2nd Resupply Fleet". A simple name for the simple purpose of reinforcing the battle harden "Zeon Expeditionary Force". Together, they will bring retribution upon the EFSF.
Veronica's daydream faded away when she spotted movement to her left. She turned and spotted a Japanese woman walking away from the Zaku II R1 HMT mobile suit. Reminding herself that she is now a commander and not a specialized grunt, Veronica nodded at the approaching pilot.

Emil Myberg and Laura Glensburg was in the hangar bay of the Chivvay II-class Athena's Wrath. The reason they were there was because Laura had persuaded Emil to go welcome some new pilot. However, Laura was more interested in meeting Veronica Wu once more, but she didn't tell him about that. Emil had been a bit wary of the Colonel ever since she managed to scald him pretty badly a few days ago, and he still had bandages covering most of the right side of his face. Considering that the next few days were probably going to be rather calm, Laura left the ship in the capable hands of her vice captain, the oldest of the Dietrich sisters, Emeline.
He wasn't sure why they were meeting the new pilot, but he didn't really mind. At least in a public place like this, Laura won't be able to do anything stupid.. Emil thought to himself while they were looking for the pilot. After a while, Laura found someone that fit the description on one of the catwalks. They managed to catch up to her rather quickly, and once they arrived, Laura gave her a small salute before introducing herself.
"You're Sergeant Anya Wilds, aren't you?"
She stretched out her hand to welcome the new MAF pilot.
"Welcome to the Zeon Expeditionary Force, miss Anya. I'm Commander Laura Glensburg, and this little fellow behind me" She used her other arm to push Emil forward. "Is Petty officer Emil Myberg."
She gave the MAF pilot a big, hearty smile.
"I hope you'll enjoy your stay here."

Anya focus snaps forward to the pair standing in front of her, shocked she stares blankly at the woman in front of her for a second. She then salutes fast.
"Hello Commander Glensburg, so should I call you Commander or Laura?"
She looks past Laura, and smiles at Emil and waves.
"I got to say, I'm nervous about this...being a mobile suit pilot that is. Have any tips? Ya know like who not to piss off, or what not to eat in the cafeteria?"
Anya laughs softly to herself and looks down the catwalk and sees her Colonel Veronica Wu. Anya suddenly gets nervous and feels her stomach sink.

Laura smiled a bit at Anya's questions.
"Just call me Laura, okay? I don't like it when things get too formal." she said, to reply to her questions.
"As to who not to piss off.." she thought for a while, before pointing toward Emil. "See these bandages he's got on his head? That's what happened when Veronica Wu decided to pour hot coffee all over him. So be nice when you're talking to her, alright?"
She looked around a bit, before finding who she was looking for.
"Ah, speaking of which.." she said, after which she started waving her hands and shouting. "Hey Veronica! Could you come over here and say hi to the new recruit?"
She turned back to Anya, and gave her a wink. "Make a good first impression, okay~?"

The last sortie had shaken him. There was no other way to put it. That pulsating pseudo pressure that had haunted the war machine now haunted Florian's thoughts. The feeling was so eerie, he couldn't shake it. He'd kept quiet about it to Lilja, though - She'd cloister him away in his room again. Odd as it seemed to him, she was the last person he wanted to be around at the moment. Her pressure was too overbearing - too strong, and around it, Florian could only think of the machine.
So he'd ducked away while she wasn't paying close attention, and spent the day wandering the ship's corridors, delighting in the relief that the lack of strong and nearby pressures afforded him. His wanderings took him, eventually, to the hangar. That was alright with him - there was a lot to see and do, and many places to keep hidden from grouchy handlers. Instinctively, his attention shifted to the catwalk above him, and a smile found it's way onto his face as Florian recognized Emil. With a gentle push, he made his way up, catching hold of the handrail near the blond and waving.

Emil noticed Florian next to him, waving, so he started talking to him. He always loved listening(or rather, reading?) what Florian had to say. It made him feel at easy, almost as if nothing could go wrong.
But something did. And it would have irrevocable changes.
Whilst Emil was having a pleasant chat with Florian, a recruit in the Zeon army approached Laura Glensburg. Whatever it was that was said, it caused her to flinch out of shock. And she approached Emil before long, with a sad expression on her face.
"Emil.. they just told me about something" she said, putting her hand on his shoulder. "They told me that the Horseman's Banquet was attacked by Federation mobile suits.. and.. and.." her eyes teared up. Emil had told her about how impressed he was with Mahara Villina, even though he just had a short stay on her ship. She knew that this wouldn't end well.. But he deserves the truth she thought to herself.
"..there were no survivors."
It took a few seconds before Emil realized what she just said. His entire body started to shake, and he nervously cleaned his eyes with his arms, as if to see if it was all just a bad dream. But it didn't disappear. Mahara was dead. And he never even got to show her how to pilot a Mobile Suit, like he promised. She was dead. Another innocent person had died, thanks to this war. She and her amazing crew just wanted to work for their dreams. And they got killed for it.
"...no." Emil whimpered after a little while. "NO! This is a lie! This can't be true!" he started yelling.
"Emil.." Laura tried to calm him down. However, he just slapped her arm away.
"Let go of me!"
He stormed off, and Laura Glensburg chased after him.

Anya stares off, a bit confused at what just happened. She looks at the woman standing a few feet away from her and sticks out her hand
"Hello, my name is Anya Wilds. Please to meet you."
(im sorry, im a moron.)

"So many new machines...it looks like we're lucky command still likes us...and that the company that the Jinyuans own is willing to take a gamble like this. Rick Dom II, eh? About time those of us in space got something new."
Richard was strolling through the hangar, looking over the new machines. He'd been impressed with the sheer number of the new model Zaku Kais that the fleet had gotten in such short order after their apparent failure in Earth Orbit. Even though they'd failed there, space was still anybody's game, though from the movements of the EFSF, one would think that they'd already won the war. Adjusting his glasses, he audibly scoffed at that thought. It was a bad habit of the EFF to assume victory so quickly. They still had a very long way to go before any of the Zeonic forces were on the ropes, and he very well intended to make any attempt in space a very slow, painful, and frustrating experience.
"Space is ours, Federation Forces...you'd do well to remember this fact."

She isn't quite sure if God had a sense of humor or it was just a matter of time before her principle responsibilities are pulled to her like a magnet. In any case, thanks to Commander Laura Glensberg, Veronica has no choice but to join in on the growing crowd of people. It came at a further surprise to her when Emil Myberg suddenly ran away from Laura Glensburg, crying.
Veronica hopes she doesn't have to deal with that.
To her great relief two things happen. The first one is Anya Wilds restarting the conversation and the second is the appearance of Richard Banks.
Taking her cue, she walks up to the group. Straight back and face stern, she announced," I am Colonel Veronica Wu, the commander of the Zeon Expeditionary Force and of the autonomous Zeon units in space. I hope you all had a good rest because we are about to commence offensive operations."
She jerked a thumb at the SAF officer approaching them," This is Lieutenant Junior Grade Richard Banks. He is the Officer in charge of Mobile Weapon Operations for this fleet. Captain Beria of the Lucifer's Fury would be handling Ship Operations. Then there is of course our resident SS Officer, Oberscharfuhrer Junichi Ghettid. You should be familiar with all of them. If not, do so quickly. We will be shortly be in position for our next move."
Veronica paused. "I recommend bringing anti-ship weaponry and heavy weapons. We're not being paid to bring ammo back."

After waiting for Veronica's speech to conclude, Richard cleared his throat and began to address the small crowd of pilots. He didn't know a great many of them, but he didn't want to see them die senselessly. Emil's sudden absense bothered him, but the fomer Federal pilot likely had a good reason for it, so he was willing to let it slide.
"As Colonel Wu stated, I am Lieutenant Banks, the leader of this fleet's mobile suit squadron. While we are unfamiliar with each other, I hope to continue operating with you all in future battles. For the new Zaku Kai pilots, keep in mind that the MMP-80's just a little different than the old one hundred millimeters that you might be used to. You get less ammo, but it goes farther and hits harder, so less spray and pray and more aiming. We're well equipped for our next op, but don't get cocky out there. The best way you can piss the feddies off is by staying alive."
He knew that the crowd was only a fraction of the total number of pilots that had been assigned to the fleet for the upcoming operation. Though he made sure it didn't show, he was looking forward to getting back into the field and showing command that they could keep the situation in space under their control. With the EFSF encroaching on positions a day out from Purgatorio, they needed to take decisive action.

Anya starts thinking to herself, wow this is really happening. This isn't a joke. She looks at Richard then over to Veronica, listening to them talk. Her mind starts to wander. You know...I can do this, I'll have my Zaku. Her self doubt starts to disappear as she starts to get a little excited about piloting her suit, proving to everyone she deserves to be here. After Richard finishes, she looks over at Veronica and decides to introduce herself. Taking a deep breath she walks over to her. She salutes and sticks her hand out. "Hello Colonel Wu, my name is Anya Wilds. I am very pleased to meet you. I've heard so much about you. It is an honor to be here on your ship."
