Not so Private Phone Call
POV?
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
A phone rings.
It is answered.
Nothing, then:
“Secure?”
“Secure.”
Voices unidentifiable.
“What time do you have?”
“9:33 PM, Standard Time, February the 14th-”
“I know what day it is! Just-”
“Quit jabbering! Everything ready?”
“Ready.”
“Ready.”
“Launching Meteor.”
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
A phone rings elsewhere.
Connection 1 [ C-1 ] : “Hello?”
It is answered.
Intelligence officer [ID ***-941] : “Please hold for Minister Aznable.”
C-1 : “Certainly.”
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
A third phone rings elsewhere.
“Oh hey! I think I got a grip on this call!”
“Encoded at all?”
The third phone rings again.
Again.
Again.
“Is it feeding us a bogus channel?”
“No. I think it's just ringing.”
A fourth ring.
A fifth.
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
Connection 2: [ C-2 ] : “What is it?”
It is answered.
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
“It's a live one.”
“Fantastic! Make sure we back it up.”
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
[ C-1 ] : “Is this line secure?”
[ C-2 ] : “Of course. Hurry up, I don't have all day.”
[ C-1 ] : “I've just been informed by our old friend that there was a scare, that last night one of our import locations was suddenly raided by the local police.”
[ C-2 ] : “So?”
[ C-1 ] : “They had to rush move crucial biological material; the subjects all rotted in transportation... More importantly, there were parts for a new particle accelerator, crucial to the Director project. Only a last minute tip from an insider saved it all from being seized.”
[ C-2 ] : “What do I have to do with this?”
[ C-1 ] : “Char... I expect that you, as Minister of Intelligence, would be in the position to keep us more well informed. That is all.”
[ C-2 ] : Identified as Minister of Intelligence, Char Aznable: “May I remind you that I am the only reason why President Garma and the others aren't hanging us from the scaffolding for treason right now?”
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
“My god! Can you confirm this?”
“One of the satellites vectoring in that line's output is blocking me from getting exact information.”
“Not even a rough estimate?”
“Hahahaha. So Minister Aznable is their column in the federal government.”
“Would you old fools pipe down and listen already?!”
“Who are you calling old, you clawed relic?”
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
[ C-2 ] : “I hardly see this as my responsibility... My meddling in ordinary police issues would be suspicious. We both know whose fault this is... He has connections that the rest of us must depend on.”
[ C-1 ] : “As do we all, the reason we're united on this godly ambition.”
[ C-2 ] : “Please, stop with the sentimental semantics. They may say you have a silver tongue, but it is wasted on me. Like I said, I don't see how I'm involved in this.”
[ C-1 ] : “Treize Kushrenada intends to become the mayor of Metro City in a few days. He may become an obstacle.”
[ C-2 ] : “There's nothing I can do about that. The President is content with Kushrenada being out of the running for his presidency. He could win in a landslide against any opponent at the polls. If anything, Dullindal, I'd think that you should put some pressure on Zala, especially since the problem is on the local level. Isn't he your pork-barrel buddy there?”
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
“I told you Dullindal would lead us right to the rest!”
“It's my wonderful hacking skills that led us to this find!”
“We all took equal parts in drafting the programs.”
“Hush! There's no point in us bickering.”
“Yeah, quiet down. We should still watch out for anyone else that could be riding this frequency.”
“You know, I never even thought about that...”
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
[ C-1 ] : Identified as Senator Gilbert Dullindal: “Both the governor and I only have minimal sway over local police procedures.”
[ C-2 ] : “Listen, there is a solution for this. We tell the 4th that his boys need to be more careful while moving our goods.”
[ C-1 ] : “I agree. However, federal agents with high clearance could make a big difference in our favor.”
[ C-2 ] : “How many hands do you need? I'll lend them. Wait. You know what? We can work this out later. I have to catch a flight.”
[ C-1 ] : “Fine. Your cooperation and effort is appreciated... as always...”
[ C-2 ] : “Goodbye.”
Connection 2 hangs up.
[ C-1 ] : “Hmph.”
Connection 1 hangs up.
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
“Shit, ended just as it was getting good!”
“We still got a great amount of information out of it.”
“Char Aznable gives us a new angle to approach this from.”
“And a new angle to worry about being attacked from...”
“You should stop being such a pessimist!”
“Hey! Hey- shut up! Do you all hear that?”
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
“Another rider on the frequency?”
“What? Is there really someone else listening in?”
“Hush! Quit your blabbing!”
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
“Damnit! There is someone else on here!”
“Could they have heard us? They must have been on before we were!”
“Disengage program!”
“They'll already be locked onto us. We've been on the channel for so-”
Hangup.
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....
................................................................. ........................................................................... ....

ID Notes:
Char Aznable. Please say you know who he is. Ok, ok. In case you don't, he is the Red Comet, the father of all masked baddies in any Gundam show and all subsequent knockoffs. He is from the original Mobile Suit Gundam, the first Gundam show. He is one of the coolest anime villains ever. Here he is the Minister of Intelligence, think of him as head of both the CIA and FBI.
Briefly mentioned here, the Governor of where Metro City is located, Patrick Zala from Gundam SEED. He will play only a minor role in this story, so don't sweat him.
Five people bickering, hacking into government channels, have a program called Meteor, one has a claw. Can you guess who these chaps might be?
One little funny note:
Can those of you who've seen Mobile Suit Gundam and Gundam SEED Destiny try to imagine what a phone conversation between Char and Dullindal might sound like? Well, if you're having trouble it's because they're both voiced by the same (excellent) voice actor, Shuuichi Ikeda!
