0085.07 Aswan

“Are the repairs on the Hazel finished?”

Hearing the voice of the woman, Pete looked over his shoulder. Clad in a normal suit, Audrey April floated in the air drawing closer to him.

“She’s still down…”

“What’s the matter?”

“The main computer won’t recognize the new leg device.”

“Move,” Lieutenant JG April said as she pushed Pete aside and dove into the cockpit.

“The previous driver is probably hindering that.” she said as her fingers clacked with ferocity over the keyboard of the connected tuning computer.

Pete gazed at the display. A front view of the Hazel was brought up on the screen and the bottom from the left knee disappeared. Suddenly it reappeared. The Hazel’s computer recognized the left leg’s device.

“Leave it to you…” Pete said, “I’m no match for you, Lieutenant April.”

“I’m heading out. The others are in danger.”

Just then, old man Hendrick’s voice could be heard, “Little Lady, since you’re heading out, you should test the high mobility option of the Hazel.”

“High mobility option?”

“We’ve attached a shield booster to the back. You should have the same propulsion power as a mobile armor.

“Move it!” Murphy could be heard saying, “Don’t stop even for a second. If you do, they’ll shoot you.”

Having said nothing up to then, Eliard moved his machine rapidly. He felt like he was inside a shaker.

The radar captured an object approaching at high speed. It was sending out a allied ID code.

“The hell? A mobile armor?” Eliard spat out without thinking.

The object was captured on his monitor before long and as expected, it looked like a mobile armor. However, in the next instant, it changed shape. In reality, although only the shield parted, the transformation revealed the Hazel in a dramatic way.

“Sorry to keep you all waiting,” came Audrey’s voice.

Eliard felt as if he was thrust out the depths of despair in an instant. The Gundam’s form had that effect. Even against the enemy, the effect was grand as they were evidently trembling at its appearance.

Commander Murphy wasn’t about to overlook their chance. Eliard and Audrey followed him.

Audrey’s Hazel exhibited full high mobility, and with its appearance, the situation changed completely. The emotional influence of its form alone proved its strength.

Eliard took the opportunity to fire away with the bean rifle.

The enemy was soon retreating.

Eliard felt his body suddenly grow weak. But, he managed to survive.

“Hey, Audrey.” Commander Murphy could be heard saying, “That’s my bunny. Treat it carefully.”

Audrey had already merged the three shield boosters together tightly again and was maneuvering to return to the Aswan.
