Chapter 01 – Pre-Battle Of Berlin C.E. 73, Minerva Class Battleship, currently stationed at ZAFT's Gibraltar Base.

"Captain." The Ship's Executive Officer, Arthur Trine, called to the Minerva's captain for her attention.

Almost in a sleep-like state, the Minerva's Captain, Talia Gladys, blinked once, before scanning the Minerva's bridge for the Executive Officer. Catching a glance at him out of the corner of her eyes, she turned on her seat, and faced him. "What is it, Arthur?" She asked, still somewhat sleepy.

"Sorry to bother you Ma'am, but we've received a new pilot." Arthur replied, pointing to a figure in the ZAFT Red-Coat uniform standing at the Bridge's entrance. Almost immediately, the male pilot looked up from his handheld game, turned it off, and pocketed it, as he made his way to the Minerva's commanding officers. "This is Antonio Vega, Ma'am." Arthur said, nodding to the male next to him. In his mid-teens, the ZAFT Red-Coat had just recently graduated from a ZAFT Military Academy as a top dog, granting him the honor of being the Red-Coat he was. Fresh from the Academy, he had only Seen Combat twice, and had performed averagely on both occasions. His features included long unkempt black hair that ended in a ponytail, typical dark brown eyes, and a rather quiet disposition.

"Antonio Vega, formerly attached to the Gibraltar Base's 45th Mobile Battalion, at your service." The Young pilot stated, raising his right arm, and saluting the Minerva's Captain.

"A pleasure to meet you, Antonio." Talia replied, returning the salute.

As this went on, the Minerva's Bridge crew and pilots, excluding Shinn Asuka, entered the bridge.

"Rey, Lunamaria, excellent timing. I need you two to lead our new pilot here to his quarters. He'll be placed next door to Shinn and Rey's quarters." Talia immediately ordered as the 2 pilots entered the Minerva's Bridge.

".. Ma'am." Rey Za Burrel simply replied, scanning the new pilot in front of him.

A long pause was given from Lunamaria Hawke before she replied. "Yes Ma'am."

As they were ordered, they also took the chance to dismiss themselves, and step outside the bridge to wait for the new pilot.

"So... That's why I saw another Zaku Phantom..." Rey said quietly, not expecting Lunamaria to hear his words.

"Ah... But we can always use the help, you know." She stated, nodding to Rey.

The Blonde pilot returned the nod, as both of them leaned against the corridor walls to wait for the new pilot.

Back inside the Bridge, Arthur was showing the Red-Coat around, before dismissing him, and sending him to his quarters, to which he said ace pilot Rey Za Burrel, and Lunamaria Hawke would lead him to.

"Sir." Antonio replied as he was dismissed.

Turning on his right heel, he'd take a few steps back, before making his exit from the bridge. Once out, the other two Red-Coat pilots briefly glanced at him, before immediately walking ahead of him. Lunamaria, being the social and curious girl she was, faced a quiet Antonio, and openly spoke to him, as Rey simply stood by, and watched everything unfold.

"My name's Lunamaria Hawke, nice to meet you." Lunamaria said, holding out her hand to a still quiet Antonio.

"Antonio Vega, Pleasure's all mine..." Antonio replied, grasping her hand with his, and promptly shaking it.

Rey continued to simply watch, quietly observing the other male. Lunamaria, nudging Rey's side, motioned the Blonde pilot to do the same, to which he unwillingly complied.

"I'm Rey Za Burrel..." The Blonde male said, nodding.

Returning the nod, the other male resumed his quiet state, as the three once again reprised on their way to Antonio's new quarters.

Turning a corridor, the three stopped in front of a shut door, where Rey motioned to Antonio.

"These are your Quarters. Make yourself comfortable." Rey said, pointing to the now open door.

"I'm in your debt, thank you for going to the trouble of bringing me here." Antonio said, slightly bowing as he made his way into his quarters.

"It's no trouble." Lunamaria replied, nodding, and walking off.

Rey did the same, as he made his way off, and entered his and Shinn's quarters.

Almost immediately after the other two pilots left, Antonio shut the door, and removed his coat, followed by his pants. Throwing them aside, he looked around his new room, like a college boy fascinated by his new dorm would, and promptly stepped into the shower room.

A few minutes later, the Red-Coat pilot would exit the shower room, a towel hanging over his shoulders. Almost at once, the Minerva's Executive Officer, Arthur, made a statement of departure as the pilot sat down on his bed.

"As is scheduled, the Minerva will be leaving ZAFT's Gibraltar base in a few minutes. All hands should prepare for departure. I repeat, all hands prepare for departure." The Executive Officer stated.

"Hm..." Antonio quietly retorted as he continued wiping the towel against his ears.

As soon as the speaker went off, rumbling could be heard coming from the rear of the vessel, as a stunned Antonio stumbled back onto his bed.

"I thought they said a few minutes, not a second or two." He muttered, getting back onto his feet as he leaned against the wall and again made his way back into the restroom.

Shinn and Rey, on the other hand, simply shrugged the motion off, as the pilots went on with their usual activities.

"Have you seen the new pilot yet?" Rey asked, breaking the silence, yet facing away from a quiet Shinn on the other side of the room.

Shinn, listening yet again to Mayu's cell phone messages, turned, glanced at the blonde pilot and simply shook his head.

"His name's Antonio Vega, I think. He's a Red-Coat, like us..." Rey said, turning to glance at the overhead ceiling.

"Heh..." Was all Shinn replied, before returning to the cell phone before him.
