>>6338903Rusty McKenzie knew precisely what he was getting involved as the stealth shuttle docked within the hull of the colony.
Yet, his beating heart and racing pulse couldn't really ease down, not out of nerves, that had been since long dealt away with.
<span class="mu-i">But excitement.</span>
Rusty didn't quite get why someone as exemplarily unique as Frieden was so against Dearka's and Yzak's search for honour through service. He's even got a recognized Epithet across ZAFT's forces and is all but an ace in name only!
To try and downplay his own achievements professed by the state apparatus... It does ring a bell slightly on having a stick up their-.
The bulkhead of the shuttle opens as the greencoat in their normal suit finished hacking an entrance into the colony's service tunnels.
"Go time! Signals only from hereon." Athrun called ahead as you all locked and loaded your submachine guns.
<span class="mu-i">The heft of the flak vest and rig in their chests pressing lightly on their normal suits as they proceed to enter into the colony's interior</span>.
Fortunately, Captain Le Creuset got some last-minute intel that had hurried along the search for these new models... An industrial sector far away from any residential dwellings or commercial hubs.
It seemed to ease Nicol and in some regard, Rusty as well that the attack will be focused and if all goes to plan.
<span class="mu-i">The Colony will just learn a lesson not to work with the enemy of ZAFT.</span>
"Rusty, hurry up!" Yzak calls out as they finished planting the explosives upon the base-plates of the main engineering building "Intel wasn't clear on the machines hangars, we got to clear them quick!"
Going topside... The anticipation made the young man's pulse race, as he set the timing of the bombs right onto Le Creuset's signal at the Vesalius.
The infiltration group rushed ahead, Greencoats securing their Mobile suits for deployment into the colony...
And you five redcoats finally checking hangar numbers as they're prepped in, tarps and trucks seemingly mobilizing them for testing.
A stray thought did cross Rusty's head as he watched the Mobile Suits being stored, waiting for Le Creuset's signal...
Frieden wasn't present... And while he already had previously noticed how against the idea of a colony infiltration Captain Margellan was... He knew personally that wouldn't deter the Blackband pilot from going ahead. Knowing the stakes of the mission.
<span class="mu-i">So... <span class="mu-s">Did he really abstain from participating, where could he be?</span></span>
