Jon sat in the cockpit of the Mudrock. He was quite displeased with how that performance turned out. He hadn't even finished his sentance when that ball had attacked. Jon was through with this Gundam. The Mudrock was to be disposed off. Jon made it back to his hideout but barely. The Leg joint was starting to sieze and the suit in its entirety was damaged severly. Jon lowered himself to the ground.

"Well Mudrock, It seems that your not the weapon i will need."

Just then Zero approached Jon. "Looks like you got your ass kicked!" Zero said patting Jon on the shoulder. "No worries, That Gundam is actually an older suit we pulled out of storage to send you. I have a present for you. It will be here soon, and with it , you shall bring your dreams to light and bring forth a new era to this world."

Jon looked at Zero with a cocked eye brow. "A present?" Zero simply nodded as he circled around Jon. "Yes a present. I wanted to make sure that you will be able to back your plans up. With some of the connections i made as a Faith Spook, I've contacted some people and a new suit in in construction." Jon just smiled. "Very well, I cannot wait to see this suit."

The two men entered the building and instantly Jon sighed. "Its good to have nice, cool air blowing on me. That Mudrock can become very hot." Jon made his way into his office and plopped down into his swivel chair. Looking up he turned on the TV to see a reporter on the television. Jon perked up when he realized it was Scarth. The reporter was the one Jon had just attacked. He was reporting on the attack on his life and the following events.

Scarth: "Another day, another successful broadcast."

Male Anchor: "Maybe, if someone didn't keep flaring up their reports."

The female anchor simply chuckled, before both stood up after the cameras turned off.

Scarth: "Oh come on, I was told to report on the traffic jam, and some lunatic decided it would be fun to shoot. It's not like I..."

Scarth's words were cut short as he tripped over one of the studio's many cables, crashing into the weatherman's green screen. Scarth laid on the floor face first, covered in green tarp.

Stagehand: "Chopper Dave, Boss wants to see you."

Scarth gave the man a thumbs-up, hoisted himself from the shattered green-screen's remains, and made his way to the corporate offices.

Network Executive: "I'm not happy Scarth. Not happy. Do you know why I'm not happy Scarth?"

Scarth: "Because you're about to give a cliched speech?"

Network Executive: "Because your job is to report the traffic! Not spend company money picking fights with the bandits and spacers running around in Mobile Weapons. Do you know how much it costs to fix these choppers?"

Scarth: "Maybe they just work for JJJ's news network? He's not a fan of Lunarian news broadcasting from Earth."

Network Executive: "Perhaps. Which leads me to my next topic. We just got a lead regarding a band of Mobile Fighter combatants uniting under some man named Bonesy or something... whatever it's a man in a Halloween costume. Apparently JJJ's company is backing this Jolly Roger, so much so that he's even agreed to share resources with him. You've met JJJ once before, and he offered you employment in his news network correct? Well, you're going to take him up on that offer, and get the inside scoop on this new organization."

The executive paused to let the words sink in. Scarth almost wet himself with joy.

Scarth: "By the beard of Zeus. You mean, I get to report on a breaking story? Headline news?"

Network Executive: "We'll see. However, for JJJ to trust you, he's going to need to think you have no more ties with this company. Therefore, effectively immediately, you are termina..."

Scarth cut his boss off mid sentence.

Scarth: "Wait, Wait. Before you finish that sentence. I have an idea. Just firing me out of the blue may seem a little suspicious. Let me record one last report, and I'll ensure it looks convincing enough to warrant the termination in everyone's eyes."

Network Executive: "Hmm... Very well then. We'll try it your way. Come back with a report by the end of this week, and I'll fire you for it. Now get the hell out."

Scarth left the office and the entire building as fast as his legs could carry him. He was so elated, he nearly skipped the entire time. As he made his way into the newly repaired Murphy, he paused for a moment.

Scarth: "How exactly am I going to get myself fired? Maybe I could find that Ball again, he always seems to cause chaos. No, no, too cliche. I wonder if..."

Scarth was too busy stroking his mustache to notice the message left on his Murphy's dashboard. It wasn't until he noticed a grey hair that he instinctively reached for his tweezers, grabbing the envelope instead. Inside was a contact number written by one of the stagehands for him, with a message stating someone sounding way too serious was looking for him. Scarth had no idea what the message was about. Perhaps this was divine intervention, or perhaps it was a telemarketer. Scarth had no idea, but figured it as good a place as any to start. Using the Murphy's communicator, he sent a signal to the contact number given. While waiting for a response, Scarth began humming.

Scarth: "I've got a golden ticket..."
