Ch. 3
"Yo, Dorothy. You have any idea why we’re having this meeting?" Hilde said to her blond friend.
"Not a clue," she responded.
"I think we’ll find out soon," Catherine said. General Jackson, Sergeant Steel, and Doctor Coopers walked into the conference room where the five girls were told to gather for a meeting.
"Hello, girls. You five have come so far these past months," Jackson commented.
"Why are we under going all this training?’ Relena asked.
"You girls was OZ’s secret weapon, which will help us destroy those Gundam Pilots, so we can take over."
"And how might we do that?" Sally asked.
"Well, we will start you out with spying on them. You will do this by using a spy bird that we will give you. Each bird will contain a small camera in their collar they will wear. They have been trained to obey you orders. Catherine will also help us in the spying part. She will take pictures of anything we need. Hilde and/or Dorothy will be our hackers in the Preventor’s station. Relena and Sally, when we need something blown up we will use you two."
"Is that all we will be doing?" Dorothy asked.
"No, we will be giving you five Gundams."
"Seriously!" Hilde exclaimed.
"Yes. You may need them to fight the other Gundam pilots."
"Cool!" Hilde said. She was so surprised; she never thought this would ever happen.
"Why don’t you girls come and follow me," Jackson said walking out of the conference room.
He led them down the hallway and opened a door, which he once forbid the girls to enter. When they walked in they saw five huge Mobile Suits in the Middle of the garage. General Jackson led them over to their very own Gundam. The body of each suit looked similar, it had a feminine shape. They all had wings for flight, and beam cannons for large battles. All five of the Gundams had a self-destruction mechanism that would be used if absolutely necessary. There was a camera and screen that would be used to communicate with one another and the base if need be. The head of each Gundam was an oddly shaped bird’s head. Sally’s was shaped like an owl, while Hilde and Catherine’s looked hawkish. The eagle went to Relena and the falcon went to Dorothy.
"What’s over there?" Catherine asked pointing to the corner. There were squawks and fluttering coming from the dark corner.
"Those are your spy birds," General Jackson stated.
"Is there a theme the birds, because everything deals with birds," Hilde asked.
"Actually, yes. Each of you has a specific breed of birds assigned to you. In fact, your code names reflect the breed."
"Oh okay…" Hilde muttered.
"In a battle it is imperative that you refer to one another by your code names." He waited until they nodded before continuing, "Dorothy you are falcon." She was handed a cage containing a white bird with brown speckles. "Relena, the eagle," he said giving her a cage with a large brown bird. "The hawk is Hilde," handing her a light brown bird with white tipped wings and a reddish tail. "Catherine is a kite." She received a bird similar to a large swallow with a head of a hawk. "And Sally, you are the owl." The large snowy bird hooted when it was given to Sally. Each bird had a small brown collar, which contained a humming device and a small camera.
"You girls have the rest of the day off, but don’t do anything stupid. Tomorrow is you first assignment, and we don’t want you hurt." General Jackson, Sergeant Steel, Doctor Coopers left without another word.
"This is so cool," Hilde said stroking the feathers of her bird. "Let’s go fly them."
