[Balmung Misaki III]

Sitting quietly with his eyes closed, the Gundam pilot wondered in his mind if this was the right thing to do. Rumors had spread across the sector of an unknown mobile suit being spotted, and of course it was up to he and the rest of the crew of the Eternal to check and see if these rumors where true. Opening his eyes, he glanced quickly at the monitor which beeped before coming on. "Where here." The Capitan reported as she looked at him, "Are you alright?"

"I'm okay, just make sure to stay away in case of a battle." he replied with a small smile as he put on his helmet and let his suit fill with oxygen. "Roger." The Capitan replied as she smiled at him, "Watch yourself out there." Returning the smile, the pilot nodded as the monitor shut off and his hands flew across the keyboard in-front of him. "System booting...Systems green," He confirmed in the comm channel as the mechanical clamps released his Gundam.

Stepping onto the Launch pad, the Comm Officer's voice echoed from the ships loud speakers. "X20A STRIKE FREEDOM. PLEASE LAUNCH." As the Liniear Catapult went green with word 'Launch', the pilot stared out at the endless space before him. "Kira Yamato, Freedom. Launching!" he confirmed as the Strike Freedom was suddenly launched forward and into space. Spinning around from the force of the launch, he extended the 'wings' on his pack as his boosters came on.

Spinning around one more time, Kira pushed the thrusters forward and sped off into space.
