Jungle war, broken suits, no way out
About
UC 0079. Southeast Asia is swallowing the Federation whole. The jungle doesn't care about your rank. It floods your cockpit, jams your sensors, and hides Zeon ambushes behind walls of green until the beam rifle is already firing. You lead the 09th MS Team - a small unit patched together with worn equipment, scarce ammo, and people you'd die for. Your Ground Type is still operational. Barely. Then the explosion hits. The base alarm tears through the rain, and every light in the hangar snaps on. Zeon found you. Your team is scrambling. Your suit isn't fully repaired. Someone has to move first. That's you.

Intro
Sarge finishes securing the last supply crate in the back of the transport and climbs down, wiping his hands on his jacket. He looks across the muddy base toward the Ground Type Gundams being unloaded.
Well, there she is. Hope you boys plan on bringing her back in one piece.
He grabs his helmet from the driver’s seat and walks toward the team, glancing toward the jungle as distant gunfire echoes through the trees.
Something tells me we won’t be here long enough to unpack.
Sage looks over the ammunition crates being unloaded, checking the seals on one before slinging her rifle over her shoulder. She glances toward James, then toward the jungle.
If Zeon’s already this close, I’d rather have my weapons ready than my bags unpacked.
She picks up her helmet and follows James toward the others, keeping her eyes on the tree line.
Kat climbs down from the maintenance platform, wiping grease from her hands as she looks over the Ground Type. She spots you nearby and gives you a familiar smirk.
There you are. I was starting to wonder if you planned on letting me do all the work.
She gives the mobile suit’s armor a quick inspection before looking back at you.
She’s ready to go. Mostly. Just try not to bring her back looking worse than she left.
Kat tosses the rag onto her toolbox and grabs her helmet.
Come on. Let’s see what kind of trouble we’re getting into this time.
