After Alex explained his reason to Eric and Steve he saw that Arthur seems to have something to talk about so he asked him to speak.
Arthur said " Alex why are you so sure about the completion of the Orb MS and why do you believe the ZAFT will definitely attack Heliopolis for G project prototypes? "
Alex said " I can guess the Orb's MS completion because i been following the EA G project MS development progress for a long time and now i also received the details that all the G project MS will be completed except for OS near the end of January next year. As for why I am so sure that the MS will be stolen is because the EA military is being almost completely controlled by Blue cosmos and it's leader will not let Halberton have the merits of the G project or the Archangel development because that make the blue cosmos lose some of the power they control and they might lose more as the success of G project is reflected in the battle with ZAFT. Besides i believe Blue cosmos also has people in the project once the Original prototypes are stolen and they develop their own prototypes with the data they already copied and sent before the Prototypes are stolen they will benefit a lot and they can also suppress Halberton by saying that the theft occurred all because Halberton was developing the MS with Orb in Heliopolis when it could have been safer in EA nations on earth."
Arthur with his eyes open wide " They can't really be so bad that they will leak information to coordinators right? after all everyone knows blue cosmos hates coordinators the most to the point of being labelled as mad dogs?"
Alex said " Trust me you don't know how worse these guys can go and i don't Blue cosmos alone . Whether it is blue cosmos or ZAFT once wars start they will only truly stop when one side has absolute power or a third party with absolute power stops them. "
Just then Frey arrived at the villa seeing her Alex asked why she was here.
Frey said " Alex I came to ask when the process for becoming a coordinator will be ready to be used safely ? Don't tell me it will still take longer ? "
Alex said " The procedure has been tested recently and is very safe but Frey are you sure you want to go through with it after all i know how much your father despises coordinators i seen it when i came to house many times with my father . If not for the fact that he has dealing with Ashford group and my father is a natural i bet he wouldn't even allow me into your house much allow our interactions and i hope you didn't tell your father about this technology as i asked to keep this a secret till it is actually released. "
Frey said " Yes i am sure i want to be a coordinator and i keep my promises don't doubt the integrity of the Allster's . I know after your repeated mocking of me as future blue cosmos psycho when we first meet i seen the development history of the rise of coordinators since George Glenn's declaration and came to accept the fact that the attack on coordinators came from both jealousy for their abilities and some traditional religious superstitions . Natural people who need to put a lot of effort and time only to find the coordinators younger than them better than them was a major cause for jealousy and has been the source of most blue cosmos members . While the religious cause is also there is amount to very little and could have been slowly accept if not the other cause . "
Alex said " OK . It's good that you come to accept facts for what they are cause only when you see clearly can you control your own future . Speaking of future i heard your father has talked the Argyle family about your engagement with him ? "
Frey said " Yes I meet Sai argyle although it was an arranged marriage for the sake of convenience i think Sai is a good person and acceptable . "
Alex asked " I don't know much about the Argyle family could you tell me a bit about them especially about their views of coordinators ? "
Frey said " Well i can't say much as i also know very little of Sai's family but from what i saw from them when i meet them they don't seem to like having their or their descendants genes adjusted more because they believe that being natural is the right way but they also don't seem to discriminate and hate the coordinators much . As for their family situation they seem to be same as your family a business family with connections in the Orb military as they seem to be a military equipment makers and they also have some factory's in Heliopolis . "
Alex said " Thanks for the information Frey as for the procedure i will arrange a private ship in a week to our secret base in earth . It will take 10 days round trip and the process also be warned that the process will be painful as using anesthetics is not a option because it could cause the person to be in coma for indefinite time . "
Alex thinks if not for the pain i would let my parents go thorough with the procedure . While waiting to become innovators as it could provide them with a stronger body . I should have convinced my parents to have Lily's genetics adjusted but thinking of their worry for i didn't let them have another as i was very sure that whether it is a coordinator or natural person who becomes a innovator they will both reach the same level in both body and mind only difference will be with the seed carriers as it seems their genes are already showing superiority among all the people . If possible i should get the gene samples from all know seed carriers for comparison to see if they have any special genes different from the others. I already have the gene samples of Athrun and Shin thanks to the time i saved Lenora and Mom's friendship with the Asuka family. I should be able to get Kira's in Archangel as by that time he should relax his vigilance against me and Cagalli's during the ZAFT raid or before if I run into her . The only problem is Lacus i will have to get it while helping Kira send her to Athrun .
Once i get them 5 sample should be enough to compare and then i will compare it with our family if we also have it's good if not even if the gene adjustment is painful i will have to convince my parents to accept it .
Frey said " No problem i will find a excuse for the teacher to take a leave for 12 days as for my dad i won't tell him about this for now i will do it slowly later so that he can accept it ."
Alex said " if you wait until the war he can more than accept it as long as our company doesn't make this technology public . As for it being public you don't need to worry as I plan to have this technology private for at least next 5 to 10 years using for our family , friends and important connections. "
After a week Frey left Heliopolis in the Ashford's private shuttle and came back soon as if nothing happened but also controlled herself to not show anything outstanding than her previous self. Alex also told Frey about some of the secrets about the G project and had Eric and Steve teach Frey about MS OS and operations they learned in the GINN and had her try the MS simulator which he had developed with Aegis's Data . Because of the number of people in the Aegis G project the Ashford bought they won't even need to steal the data of Aegis anymore after it is assembled because they already have all the data now so even if they somehow fail to get the second Aegis they had developed in secret and also not get the data in original Aegis it won't matter.
21 January C.E 71
Frey as usual came to Alex's villa where she found both in an MS simulator cabins since last month there where 3 more simulator cabins than the original one , 2 for MS and 1 was a battleships simulator cabin for Arthur .
Frey said to Alex who was on his personal terminal " Alex why are you guys always on the MS sim cabins as if the war is going to affect you even if the EA has MS being developed we can just leave Heliopolis it won't effect people of our status ? "
Alex said " Frey it would be very good if the world was as simple as you describe . Anyway you gotten used to the Aegis controls well now but i hope you are not afraid during a real fight . "
