Battle in Null G

Heero brushed a stray lock out of his dark eyes, and smiled grimly. He adjusted the straps that fitted over his chest, groin and legs, his ritual in prepration for battle. His speaker crackled, and Quatre's voice floated around Heero's gundam. "What's your mission today Heero?" He asked quietly.
"I am to go to a space lab, orbiting Venus." Heero replied, reading over his commands. Quatre was silent for a moment, then spoke again. "Strange," he murmered. "I have the same assignment." Heero checked a few statistics on his control panel, and answered absently.
"It will not be the first time we have had the same mission, Quatre." He reminded the other pilot.
"I know that!" Quatre let a note of impatience creep into his voice. "But this is different, Heero! We are not being told to go destroy a enemy base, or stop a carrier full of mobile dolls. Now we are being told to go to some unknown lab, without any enemies within a hundred thousand mile radius! Something is wrong!"

Heero frowned. "I think you are overreacting." He said sternly. "I have always obeyed the scientists' orders, and I intend to obey this one as well. If you don't want to help, fine, but leave me alone!"
The other side of the connection was silent for a long minute. Finally, with a peculiar note in his voice, Quatre replied. "Do whatever you think best, Heero. Over and out." Heero leaned back against the gundam seat, and tried to crush the doubts rising in his mind. Quatre was just being paranoid. He firmly decided, and pushed everything else out of his mind, sending Wing Zero through space at top speed.
Meanwhile, Quatre still thought something was wrong. With a few quick flicks of his fingers across the keyboard, he had a direct communation connection to Shigiami. Duo confirmed that he had the same assignment as Quatre and Duo, and that he had spoken to Trowa and Wufei. Everyone was being given identical orders. He explained why he was worried about this mission as fast as he could, speaking breathlessly.
Duo was quiet for a moment. "What do you suggest we do?" he asked.
Quatre wasn't sure, and said so.
"But we have to do something, Quatre! I agree with you; are is something bad about this mission!
