'Just where did that attack come from and how did our hull get breached?!' There was no time for her to get answers for those questions so Meriol had to settle for doing damage control. "Release emergency sealant to seal those breaches and get me a full damage report as soon as possible!"
"Madam, we're getting reports of intruders in the ship!" exclaimed one of the bridge officers. "Last spotted location is the cargo bay!"
"Perhaps it wasn't an attack but rather a person planting a bomb against our hull to get access to the ship... that would make the most sense," muttered the Captain to herself. "I want all security personnel mobilized! Squads One through Three will search for the intruders while Squads Four and Five seal off the breached areas!"
**********
She could hear groups of armed security guards scrambling through the hallways to their respective positions through the closed door of the Captain's office that she and her companion were currently occupying. Thanks to memorizing the layout of the generic Agamenon-class ship, the duo had been able to use their explosive distractions to divert crew members away from the most efficient route to their destination. "This is making me nervous. Have you hacked in yet, Morris?" asked the woman in a low tone.
A figure dressed in a black space suit with a small white jet pack attached on his back continued to tap away at the computer workstation. "Took me just a bit longer to bypass her security, Becky."
"Don't call me that. Only Hina-chan can call me that," said Rebecca with a pout.
The black Coordinator snorted once and continued working. "I'm betting that the Hyperion Gundam data would be heavily encrypted so let's see if Steamhein's little gadget is strong enough to hack through. Then the Professor can examine the 'Armure Lumiere' technology and compare it to his own notes on the same technology."
The woman stopped her pouting and sighed to herself. "It probably would have been a lot easier if Hina-chan just threatened the ship with her GuAIZ."
"And if she did, the irrational Naturals on this ship would probably wipe their database clean to ensure any classified data is completely inaccessible to us." Morris paused as his cyber-digging finally paid off with the file location for the CAT1-X1/3 Hyperion Gundam Unit 1. "Come to papa..."

"Hold up a sec... Barry, turn your main camera towards 592 Mark 14," ordered Jean over his communicator.
The modified Astray unit turned its mechanical head to the coordinates that his companion had mentioned. "I don't see anything, Jean."
The blond Coordinator went pale as he could see the strange grey GuAIZ unit flying towards them with a backpack that looked eerily similar to the Justice Gundam's own backpack unit. "... you mean to tell me that you can't see that mobile suit that's on an intercept course?!"
"What?!"
"INCOMING!!!!"
"Whoa!!!" Barry's good reflexes and the additional space maneuvering thrusters on his unit had him performing a backwards somersault which saved him from the five beam discharges that seemed to come out of nowhere. As he recovered, his radio came to life.
"Eh... you're lucky that your little companion saw me..." Then the GuAIZ mobile suit had its colour change from grey to a dark orange, bordering on red, with a black spiral in the middle of its chest. The two Xiphias rail cannons were spread out and the unit carried a beam rifle in its right hand. Two beam cannons from the backpack were resting on the unit's shoulders.
'Phase shift armour?! And it was also using something earlier that was like Mirage Colloid... it was able to at least block itself from radar and Barry's standard main camera settings couldn't detect it.' "Barry, can you see it now?"
"Positive."
'Good. One less thing to worry about since we have more than enough on our plate already,' thought Jean grimly.
That sweet female Japanese tone came back again. "Ano... would you pleade do me a favour... AND DIE?!?"
