As if the day hadnt been long enough the bar fights between the different corps just made everything worse for the wear. Kale paid no attention to those whom quarelled over things that neednt be fought about. Kale was tired from the long day of trial and error between his training of the new pilots and trying to teach them on a completely new cockpit in the standard GM MS units that had been amassed lately. Kale had his own suspicions about things but for now the drink in his hand and the uniform around his hard frame being unbuttoned was good enough as life for him at this moment. Nothing and nobody crossed by his eyes as he just drifted into the sweet empty nothing of the alcohol that he was consuming. And the victory of that pungent liquid would have been absolute to Kale if it wasnt for the interrupting news broadcast from the senate building on Earth cutting into everything and killing off any activity if it didnt have to do with what was going past on that TV. The old and very gaudy dressed Senate Chairman "President of the GA" Reeso Hyuila (You-E-Laa) crossed to his podium for an annoucement overdue in Kale's mind. And though none spoke of it everyone was expecting it, this message was broadcasted from Earth to every TV in the known human dominion.
"My People, Today we stand on the verge of change in our great struggle for life expansion. For many years the Global Alliance has stood by with its meager military forces maintaining the peace that we have enjoyed throughout the many years. The increasing amount of terrorist attacks against supply freightors from the Earth's surface has led us not only to believe that these terrorist are organized but they are united to wage war with the Global Alliance to place all of its good peoples under a banner of tyranny and oppression. These fears were realized earlier this afternoon when I received not only a declaration of seperation from the Alliance but a declaration of war from an alliance formed between the MRSC 19-22 and all the out-lying space colonies calling themselves "The Crimson Plague". The declaration states that the attacks against the vital supplies to the colonies were the collaboration of the leaders of this Crimson Plague." Reeso took a break to let everything set in for everyone who was listening. For he knew not only was his allies watching but neutral colonies and enemies alike. Taking a deep breath in preperation for the last part of his speech Reeso finally began to speak once again, "The Global Alliance will not sit idly by and let these type of extremist actions to be taken. I now have a document signed by one hundred percent of the Global Senate as a declaration of war against this new threat. As of now the entire Global Alliance is in a state of war and we are declaring a state of martial law. Posted in the near future will be the details for civilians regarding their protection and new laws enforced by our mighty military. For our enemies who are no doubt watching this, know that we will never stop until our cause has been completed and we will not let you terrorize us with your attacks any further. For my people I just wish you the best in these dark times and I promise as Chairman that I will bring this war to a quick and swift end using every military resource to suppress this uprising in force. And finally for the military annoucements I will turn over the mic to the man who will be leading us through these times, Ladies and Gentlemen General Fredrick Haasel."
And as the withering senator stepped down another withering proud soul stepped his way up to the podium infront of the cameras wearing his tan MS Corps General's uniform proudly as he tried to stand as straight and tall as he possibly could in his deteriorating body. Finally gaining the composure the old soul wanted Gen. Haasel began to speak, "To all engineering and medical corps mobilize immediately at your designated home bases. To all tank corps, do not mobilize but put your men on high alert. Supply Corps mobilize on the double to your designated MS Corps. The 1st-12th MS Corps moblize and report to your base commanders for deployment orders. All Black Viper Squadron members report to your base and mobilize for immediate deployment to a classified zone. All others be on high alert and await personalized orders from your base commanders. That is all." And as soon as the TV had flashed to the annoucement it was black once again and the hush fell over the crowd.
Kale rose up from his chair and straightened his jacket pushing his drink to the other side of the bar away from him. Kale carefully buttoned and straightened his tan uniform, the patch upon his right shoulder proudly displaying a black viper designating him as a member of the famous Ace Squadron of the Global Alliance. Kale moved about the gawking mass as slowly one by one every soul drifted to leave the bar area and either go on alert or be mobilized. Kale laughed alittle bit as he stood on the outside of the bar and looked to the giant hanger about a thousand yards from him, "It had to start sometime..."
