"Yumiii.... Where are you YuuuMiiii?" The Ghostly female voice said again. -----
Ai sat down in a corner somewhere and started to run a system check on her armor.

Hearing the ghostly voice, Yumi concentrated her thoughts at a single focal point.
Follow my voice... meet me at the clearing... she thought.

Delilah kept watch over the slumbering Souffle, watching her seemingly sleep very peacefully. The catgirl let out a light yawn, rubbing her eyes with her hands, and continued to watch, unaware of the activity that is going on inside the Xi Gundam Girl.

A loud crash and when the smoked cleaned a purple trooper tood in the now burnt circle in the feild. The Female stared at the ground and blood dripped from her armor.(Think Eve Unit 01 covered in blood =) )

Meanwhile...
Amy soon found herself immensely glad that she was finally off the transport and where she and the Witches were supposed to be for this mission. They were in a nearby forest a considerable distance away from the base; the forest provided cover from sensor detection, while any guards would be hard-pressed to spot the Witches there. Unfortunately, the forest would only cover them about half of the way; after which, the Witches would be attacking the base in open grassland.
But at least they were off the ship; The Witches belonged with their feet on the ground. "Ahh! Finally! Big Boss' personal transport's comfy and all, but even I can't stand being in it for all of ever!" ^^
"The microwave pizzas were nice, though. I have to give Big Boss that." ^^
"And it feels great to be on the ground again!" ^^
Silence. The Witches formed a hasty-yet-perfectly-synchronized line in front of Kyte, the Dom armor's hover engines jetting briefly and carrying them quickly to the ranks. All three saluted. Professionalism returned.
Or at least it did for a few seconds.
"So, Boss, how're we gonna get through this? You want us to attack the main target, or do you wanna do it?"
* * *
At the same time, Kally's expression became one of where she finally had enough. Her patience was at an end, even shorter than before since she had gotten Billbine. Sitting in the middle of the Aura Containment Field, Kally looked up and stared bloodshot at Elise as if the field was nothing.
"You're wasting your time, and mine. Last chance, Elise." Kally issued a firm, cold ultimatum despite her obvious situation. "Let me and Riley go to our business, or anything and everything that happens next will be your fault."

"I'll be taking care of the main target, no offense to any of you, but this guy is out of your league, don't want you getting hurt," As much as I'd like to stab all three of you and leave your corpses in a ditch sometimes... Kyte paused for a moment, thinking.
"Here's the plan..." Kyte's armor suddenly melted and disappeared back into their storage compartments, leaving a small layer of nanomachines to morph his uniform into an Alliance officer's, "As you all know, I've spent some time building a bit of a reputation within the ranks here... After all, that's how I got in contact with Khall. I can just walk in the front door, claiming I'm relaying a message from the General. Once I'm inside, give me fifteen minutes, I'm confident I can get deep enough inside to figure out Murdoch's position by then. You three hit the base as hard as you can once time's up. Cause as much confusion as you can and get out, and I'll go after the man in the middle of the mess."

The triplets needed no reminder of that. Before their time as the Witches, after all, the triplets were themselves UEG soldiers in General Khall's own division and slated to become his personal bodyguards; as such when Khall offered the triplets a more exciting, but much more dangerous and shady job than patrol duty on Earth, the triplets hadn't hesitated --- and hadn't regretted anything.
"Ooh, ooh, question?" Amy raised her hand.
"Yes...?"
Kimmy stepped forward at that. "You said 15 minutes, so..."
Finally, Sammy finished the question.
"...What if you get discovered or killed before then, Boss?"

Kyte laughed, "I can handle a few mishaps myself, but if it should come to it... stick to the plan. The only difference is that you'll be covering my escape, not an assassination."
He reformed his armor, except this time it took on the symbols of the Alliance, along with an ID number registered to Khall's personal staff. With the proper markings in place and documents in his posession, it would be nearly impossible to distinguish him from any other soldier, "Unless there are any other questions, let's get this show started."

Both Yumi and WeiLi were startled from the sudden crash, temporarily coughing from the smoke and ash. When the smoke cleared, both women had a good look at what caused the crash itself; a woman, petite and lithe, dressed in an unknown purple armour. Unknown armour, mainly because of a viscous fluid dripping from the armour... blood.
"Mel," WeiLi cried, only to be stopped by Yumi.
"Something is wrong," Yumi muttered, immediately morphing into her armour, but left off her fin funnels and firearms, leaving only her shield. "Stay back."
The Hi Nu Girl carefully approached the woman, slowly inching towards her while she called out to Mel with her mind...

"Nope, nuh-uh."
"I'm good."
"And I'm good if my sisters are."
"So!" All three cried out. "When you're ready then, Boss!" ^^

Kyte nodded, "Good, in that case start time now, I'm heading in."
Without another word, he took to the air and flew towards the Alliance base, he activated a UEG encrypted comm line, "Attention Tower, this is Captain Scott Walters of the UEG, unit 67-Echo-Alpha-29. I am on special assignment to deliever a message from General Khall to General Murdoch, I am transmitting identification and authorization codes now, requesting permission to land."
It took a moment, but the message came back loud and clear, "Everything checks out, Captain. You are clear to land at your discretion. An escort will bring you to the General."
Kyte smirked underneath his helmet, "Understood, Tower. I am on approach, over and out."
He flew the rest of the way in unhindered, and made touchdown just outside the main facilities.

...and as promised, and escort was immediately dispatched to Kyte's location.
In the general's quarters, word came through to Murdoch that a 'Capt. Scott Walters' is on his way to deliver a 'message'.
"Your orders, sir?" the soldier at the com asked.
The general stood silent, a monolith amongst men. His eyebrows furrowed, almost in thought.
"Run a second check on the captain before you have him escorted to my quarters... and do apologise to the captain on my behalf," was his reply.

The Woman looked up and sure enough it was Mel, well kinda anyway, something about her didn't look right she had a blank look on her face and tears welling at the corners of her eyes. "Yumi.... AAAAHHHgg It hurts Yumi...*sob sob* Help me..." Was her reply to Yumi. Mel's shakey right hand reached for the Combat knife in her left shoulder armor and then held the knife out at Yumi. (Classic Eva 01 With Knife out and it's other hand behind the knife)

At the same time, while the body of a stray patrol soldier lay unconscious and hidden within a patch of tall grass in the forest, Sammy looked down --- wearing said soldier's uniform with her own old UEG nametag --- at the soldier while Amy and Kimmy blinked at her. Silence for a minute. Amy sighed.
"...I can't do it. No heart." -_-
"Strongly agree. We used to be like them." -_-
"Considering that we'll have to distract them later on anyway, I guess this is one less." -_-
The triplets nodded.
"So." Sammy began.
"We have a plan?" Amy continued.
"Yep. I'm okay with it." Kimmy finished.
"Well."
"...I guess we have to wait until near deadline to get on it, then. It's all up to you now, Sammy!"
* * *
"General Khall...?" Kouji frowned, and looked around him. There was a saying in China --- Cao Cao appears just when one mentions Cao Cao --- and that old anecdote applied here too conveniently. Appearing here just as Kouji and Murdoch were speaking of him, Khall couldn't be up to anything good, especially if Kally's own warnings about the General held true. "General Murdoch, I do not think this meeting will bring any good bearings. Be wary of his motives. I will---"
Then a very familiar, yet for some reason rather hasty and panicked neighing reached Kouji Kamishima's ears. His heart leapt in concern.
Fuunsaiki?
"Gomen ne, General, sir, if you will excuse me a moment. I will remain hidden at the rear of the tent afterwards, just in case my assistance is required."
With that, Kouji hastily ran out of the tent and past a certain Scott Walters.
* * *
Of course, there was nobody else Fuunsaiki could be this panicked against. The Mobile Horse couldn't place it, but she alone felt it well enough, being who she was. Something was not only wrong with the newcomer, it was eerily familiar --- something Fuunsaiki remembered feeling all the way back before the April Fools Massacre. Plus, Scott Walters was just teeming with a murderous aura, something which she could safely say she would not feel from any others around the base. This Walters was not who he said he was.
Feeling more concerned for Kouji's safety than General Murdoch's, naturally, Fuunsaiki was on it right away, neighing like crazy at Walters and pacing warily around and at him, stepping back and forth quickly in warning. Of course, since nobody else could understand what she was saying, the effect was immediately lost. Even as the soldiers performed said second check, Fuunsaiki was neighing loudly and almost kicking at him with her front legs, and it took five MS Troopers to keep her reined in and from trampling 'Scott Walters' outright.
"What---what are you all doing!? Unhand her!"
Kouji was otherwise prompt to completely ignore Scott and run over to Fuunsaiki as the troopers handed the beam reins over to him, throwing his arms soothingly around Fuunsaiki's neck and stroking her back. "What's the matter, Fuunsaiki? It's alright, I'm okay. What's wrong?"
Seeing Kouji alright, Fuunsaiki calmed a little, but her eyes were still glaring at Scott --- and when the chance presented itself, she kicked at him, only to be pulled back by Kouji again gently. Kouji kept hugging her and bowed to 'Scott'.
"Gomen ne, you'll have to apologize for her behaviour. She doesn't take well to newcomers, that is all."
Inwardly Kouji knew a little better, though, and as he then pulled Fuunsaiki away from the scene and Murdoch's tent altogether, instead the two then snuck their way behind the tent, as they said they would --- thankfully the tent was opaque enough --- and waited for Murdoch to say something...

Kyte nodded in return, "Perfectly understandable, don't worry about it."
Something familiar about him... he thought, eyes narrowing underneath his helmet, Of course! Kouji Kashima, formerly of the Shining Hope and the boy who killed Albright. We've got files on him back at the base.
He grinned, though of course no one nearby could see it under his full face plate, This just got much more... interesting...
He waited patiently for the check to finish. No standard checks would reveal the codes as forgeries, only an in depth examination that could take weeks of decryption. In fact, really he wouldn't have needed to forge the orders if it wasn't for the fact real ones would throw suspicion on Khall. So long as the Alliance ultimately decided it was a set up, the puppet would still be useful.

With the last bit of security enforced, the soldiers finally allowed Kyte to proceed into the tent itself, with General Murdoch at his seat, waiting patiently for the 'captain' to come in.
"Captain," Murdoch stood up and nodded slightly to Kyte.
