"Anyone boarding shuttle 64L to the L2 colonies are to come to platform 3. I repeat, anyone boarding shuttle 64L please come to platform 3 " blared from the speakers. 'Well, I guess it's time to leave' she thought picking up her duffle bag. Walking quickly down the terminal she found platform three. Handing the shuttle port personnel her ticket she walked inside the shuttle. It looked roomy, and there seemed to be plenty of leg room. Putting her things in the shelf above her seat she settled down in her seat. "Hello this your captain speaking, we will soon be departing for the L2 colony cluster, so please fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the flight. 'boy am I tired' was all she could think of. As they got out of earth's orbit she saw the stars and the chilling. yet incredibly calming darkness of space, 'so is what being among the stars are like?' she thought as she fell into a deep sleep dreaming of the things to come.

"Welcome to L2 we hope you will enjoy your stay here." Walking through one of the streets of the many colonies of L2 she ended up at a newsstand to buy a paper. "GUNDAM PILOTS ONCE AGAIN INTERFERE WITH OZ" was the headline in bold. 'Those men are so brave, so few in numbers, but strong enough to know they are the only hope for peace in this small universe.' She thought, quickly scanning through the residential section of the newspaper she found an ad for a two room flat at a reasonable price. When she talked to the land lord about it he said that the room was formerly rented by an elderly woman who later left to go live with her son, he also said the flat needed a few repairs and cleaning that he would be more than happy to assist by paying for the costs of repair. After paying for the months rent he handed her the keys smiling saying "Thank you miss, hope you like it here." she just simply nodded and with catlike grace walked into her new home.

'An old lady lived here my ass,' she thought scrubbing away at the floor. "The apartment is a bit unkempt, I'll be more than happy to pay for the repairs" she mumbled repeating the land lords words with venom. . It turned out that he wouldn't pay for repairs some how he 'forgot' "Hrmph, the first thing I got to do is to find myself a job." Laying down her scrubbing brush she pushed stray strands of her long hair behind her ear tying the rest back at about the small of her back. She plopped down in a wooden chair in the kitchen and reached for the day old newspaper to look for jobs. "house keeping...had enough of that today..secretary...can't stand being in stuffy places...catering...can hardly survive on my own food...mechanic-." She stopped abruptly reading the ad

L2 location

"Why of all the job catagories and locations it had to be OZ? oh well I need the job and they probably wont like a female mechanic much." Rumminging through her closet she found some clean jeans, a dress shirt, a tie and some glasses. Picking up the clothes she quickly put them on. She looked like a scrawny boy with some geeky glasses . "now about the hair...." she put three small braids on each side then tied them back. (A.N. kinda like Relena's hair). Grabbing her leather jacket she walked out of the door to the army base.

"Nicole what is the background of this person you are interviewing today?" A stern voice commandingly asked her subordinate. "Name: not specified, Age: approxamateley 15-16 years, Vital statistics: height: 156cm weight:41kg eyes: cobalt blue, hair: medium brown history: family deceased, killed in a army raid in eastern North America, raised in an orphanage till 15 years old, recently moved to L2." "Hm..not much is known her is there." she pushed her glasses up then smirked "she may be a valuable asset to OZ with the proper training and has the nerve." "Colonel Une may I ask what do you plan to do with the girl?" she smiled once again sending a cold shiver down the mans spine not saying a word. 'Oh little girl you'll be surprised for what is in store for you one we meet.' She thought as she got up and went to her quarters in preparation for her arrival.
