The next morning Jason went back to his room on the Minerva.
He was there very long when the alarms started going off on the base.
He went to the bridge to figure out what was happening most of the crew was on leave since the ship was not due to launch till tomorrow.
Talia Gladys was the captain of the Minerva when Jason show up on bridge she told him that the new machines was being stolen to get in a mobile suit and try to recapture them.
She had Meyrin get in touch with Shinn and get him back to the ship so he could launch in the Impulse.
The three new mobile suits was the Chaos, Gaia and Abyss.
They destroyed all the closes hangers by them and move to destroy the others.
Rey and Lunamaria Zakus was pinned under some rubble that fell on them.
So it would take a little time to get them out.
Jason launched in a Zaku Warrior to help battle the three.
Shinn got the Impulse ready shortly after since he was on his way to the ship after buying some breakfast on the base.
They was engaging when they finally got Rey machine free where he could get into the cockpit.
He freed Lunamaria when he got in. So the two of them went to join the fray.
Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal was meeting with Cagalli and Kira was her body guard when the fight started.
He asked people to get Cagalli and Kira to a safe bunker and went to see what was happening.
The commanding officers urge him to board the Minerva since there was gas leaking all over.
The harbor fell to an attack shortly after.
The three stolen machines tried to make a breakaway to retreat.
The Chairman Durandal got on board the Minerva.
Lunamaria's Zaku Warrior was having issues when in pursuit so she had to go back to the ship when it lost it flight.
Cagalli and Kira boarded a machine to help escape the disaster taking place.
In the fight with the Gaia it took some damage and Cagalli hit her head and was bleeding some.
Kira seen Chairman Durandal going on board the Minerva so he left the battle to go to the ship.
Lunamaria just landed and took them both into custody when they disembark the Zaku they was in.
She seen to Cagalli to get the treatment she needed.
Jason, Shinn, and Rey went after the stolen machines.
They was trying to blast a hole open in the side of the PLANT they were on.
They finally manage to get a hole and retreated out into space.
They quickly ran to the ship outside that was waiting for them.
The three of them was then under the attack of a mobile armor.
Rey tried to convince the other two to retreat but they got pulled outside and went after the stolen suits.
Chairman Durandal gave the order to send the Minerva out since they could not lose all the new machines they was just completed.
When the Minerva got outside they seen the ship moving away from them and the Impulse and Zakus locked into a battle with a mobile armor.
They started to fire on the ship and the mobile armor retreated shortly after.
The Impulse and Zakus were running low on energy.
The ship took off quickly once the mobile armor was on board.
The Minerva went after as soon as the three of them was on board.
The ship they label as bogey one.
It use the spare fuel tanks and denoted them to cause the Minerva to stop for a bit because of the damage it took.
So it was able to get away for the moment.
When the battle calm down Lunamaria report to Captain Gladys about the people that came on board the ship.
Chairman Durandal and Captain Gladys met with them.
He told them what they plan to do and Cagalli agree to go with them to chase after the ship that stole the new machines.
While giving a tour of the Minerva they ran into the pilots.
Jason and Shinn gave a friendly greeting since they knew the two of them.
The others was not sure what to do but introduce themselves to them.
It was a nice chat.
Cagalli "Jason you look like your doing fine here."
Jason "Yeah its been a year or so since I last seen you."
Cagalli did not know why all of the sudden that Jason and Shinn had both left ORB and went to the PLANTs.
They talk for a bit until the alarms went off.
The Minerva had caught up to Bogey One.
