Close Help
"Listen up scumbags!" Williams yelled as he entered the simulation ring. The wall was lined with MS simulated, giant boxes with wires coming out of the backs that were connected to a central hub.
The pilots exited their simulators and snapped to attention. Williams saluted back and left the room for a second and came back with a medium sized TV. On it, John Craven was in front of a podium, giving the State of the Union address. The pilots circled around the TV and watched.
"Today, little more than four years after the defeat of the Keung Si and People's Government of Mars, a new threat has announced itself. The Romanov Fleet. We have all seen the footage of the drop of a populated colony onto the surface of Charon. They claim that Mars has illegal Mobile Suits and other weapons, but we know that to be false. Weapons inspectors have not reported anything that would be a breach in the Treaty. While it may seem that the Romanov Fleet is a decidedly Mars threat, it is not. They not only have the forces, but the resources to capture Mars as it stands. For just that reason, the Republic of Earth has decided to exterminate Yuri Romanov and his forces. From his base somewhere in the asteroid belt, he launches covert  attacks on supply lines and mining bases. The citizens of the Republic of Earth do not need to worry because the completion of the Earth Defense Force is nearing. With this new defense force, nothing can attack Earth without expecting massive casualties. Are there any questions?" John said.
"Yes, Chancellor, what exactly is the Earth Defense Force? There has been some information about it, some are saying it is a fleet of ships, a quartet of Nemesis type ships or a massive I field barrier. What exactly is it?"
"The Earth Defense Force contains four large asteroids that have been converted into bases that will orbit the poles, New York City and Tokyo."
"Why those locations?" another reporter asked.
"New York is the capital of the RoE and Tokyo is our main MS computer manufacturer," John Craven answered.
"What about the ones above the poles?"
"No Comment. Any other questions?"
"Yes, what do you think about the tensions in the colonies?"
"What do you mean?" John asked.
"In the colonies, there is a movement for colonial independence. What are your feelings?"
"Well...we are willing to listen to the colonies views and make our decision."
"By 'we' do you mean 'me'?" a reporter asked.
Williams turned the TV off and turned the to the Fenrir, "Do you know what that means?"
"Someone is planning on attacking Earth?" William chanced.
"Correct. Do you know who?"
"The Colonies and maybe Romanov?" Noel asked.
"Good. Now, this brings the next simulated mission into being. You will be performing an insertion into an enemy occupied colony. Your goals will be to annhilate any hostiles and minimize damage to the colony's structure because otherwise, we will have a fiasco. You're not to be detected. These simulations are very  real. If anyone escapes from the attack, they will be on you like stink of shit. Is that understood, scumbags?"
"Yes, sir!" the Fenrir announced.
"Good. And if you fuck up...you won't like what happens when you fuck up."
"You're training ends Wednesday, but during that day you will be going through your final. Anyone care to guess?"
"Fight off a fleet of RoE ships?" Trent chanced.
"Close. Very close. You're going to have to take the Dark Tiger Squadron HQ from the Dark Tiger Squadron," Williams said.
"Oh, we're boned," Xerus muttered and headed back into the simulator.
