Alex thought i went through so much trouble of risking the nanobot gene editing procedure being found while adjusting you as coordinator so that i can leave early from Archangel so as to not effect the completion and neutrality of the private space colony. I hope Frey doesn't die and can ensure the safety of the landing shuttle if not Eric's Father Blitz Gundam which will be prioritized for production in Copernicus city after the data gathering will have to be revealed early to protect the shuttle and then everyone will know that the Ashford's also got the data of all G project MS and some might guess we even have Archangel's data also.
Frey said " why would i need to pilot a MS into battle please don't joke like that . "
Alex said " Oh trust me when i asked people who did the genetic adjustment to you they said your genes where adjusted with your wish for higher intelligence while also adding ability to learn and develop in combat . "
Alex of course didn't mention he had her genes compared with Athrun's and Shin's and suspects her of having Seed .
Alex also said " And don't be angry Frey the world is really not simple and you will be very happy to have the ability to pilot MS and have a chance to become a top Ace pilot."
Frey was really angry this time
Frey said " You... how can do what ever you want to a person who put so much trust in you and how much more pain did i have to bear because of your added benefit ?"
Alex said " Not much as the process was onetime adjustment with same adjustment time regardless of number of genes modified. And yes i am sorry for not asking you about it but i just thought i might need your help some day because i feel you are special and have great potential. "
Frey said " Alex you are not indirectly proposing to me are you ? In that case let me be clear even though the marriage between Sai and me is was an arrangement made by our parents i think Sai is good and am not planning to abandon him. "
Alex said " You don't need to worry I prefer my future partner to be more straightforward than like you who are exposed to political schemes and like to think with ways your father shows around you."
Just then Arthur who was in the Battleship sim came out of it and asked Frey.
Arthur " Frey what are doing here so early today don't you usually like to have your beauty sleep and shopping dreams at this time of day ? "
Frey said " I came here to tell you guys I won't be come to practice MS training for the next few days as I plan to spend time with Sai and My friends shopping as a proper lady should not playing with MS like me. I been fooled into learning because Alex said he would give a great surprise in mid or late Feb if I learned it and said the gift is very useful for dad's career."
Arthur said " Well if Alex said it will be helpful to Mr. Allster then it will definitely be helpful anyway from what I saw in your MS piloting your are already good so even if you stop coming now Alex probably won't go back on his word."
Alex said " Yes Frey you don't have to worry about the gift anymore I will have it ready before late Feb so you can do what you like from now don't have to force yourself to come here."
After hearing what Arthur and Alex said Frey also tried to ask what the gift was but Alex wouldn't tell. So she left while muttering that Alex was stingy.
The following day Alex opened the main entrance to villa to find his parents and sister and a little girl arrived at Heliopolis which nearly gave him a heart attack. But his parents happily wished him happy birthday so what can he say he can't exactly tell them ZAFT will raid in 3 days .
James saw his son was more than just surprised and decided to ask him about separately.
Emma said " Stella dear come here this your brother Alex. Since we adopted you Alex has been here in Heliopolis so this is his first time meeting you say hello ."
Stella said " Hello brother Alex. "
Alex now really felt like his head hurts he had asked his dad to take care of Stella in their house and have her join the security company after solving her psychological problems not to adopt her good now if i bring up having Stella pilot MS with his mother she would probably beat with anything that reaches her hand until he is covered in bruises all over his handsome face still Alex responded .
Alex " Hello, Stella . I am really surprised I have another sister now so don't mind me much. OK all of you really surprised me lets get in and we will talk. "
As soon as Alex finished speaking Emma directly went to kitchen saying she is going to make some healthy food for her son's birthday .
James followed in while saying that Arthur , Eric and Steve's parents are coming here in few mins as they went tour Heliopolis. While they reached the main hall James told about how Emma who saw Stella brought home by the company people and learn of Stella's situation and felt very sorry for and especially more so when she heard Alex had her bought because he believe she has potential to be an Ace MS pilot when she is suffering so much from war and decided to adopt her to keep Alex " From getting his evil claws on the little girl " Emma's own words. In the kitchen Emma was busy with the breakfast preparation as if she couldn't hear the voices of her husband and son . Stella was in the helping her find the items running around like a happy little bird.
After an hour with Emma and Stella's hard work even with Lily troubling them the breakfast for four families was completed. Just then the William , Hayes and Smith families arrived and wished Alex on his birthday.
Edward William and his wife Anna William
John Hayes and his wife Jenny Hayes
Brian Smith and his wife Serena Smith
After a happy breakfast the ladies of the three families and the 2 little once went to the garden to enjoy their little get together. Although the 3 three families worked under James. James treated Edward , John and Brian as family so even though they meet for the first time Emma treated them very well with respect.
In the villa study
Alex said " Dad what a great day you chose to come here and couldn't you inform me at least that you are coming ? "
James said " I got word that the G pilots will be arriving here in Heliopolis by 25th as for your advice to start for Heliopolis i decided it gives the feeling of being very intentional to everyone once they think about it so i decide to use your birthday visit openly will stay here 2 days and leave just before the G pilots get here. Then we can turn around later after we receive news of Heliopolis destruction as the news can't be hidden and will be know to both EA and ZAFT forces immediately and I had specifically asked EA patrols to update me of any danger in Heliopolis saying that I am worried about your safety so i will receive the news immediately ."
Alex said " So Dad how is the Copernicus factory for developing MS doing ? Can we get the Place to produce the Blitz in less than 10 days with the data we get ? "
James said " It will take at least 2 months to fully complete the manufacture of X207 Blitz after we get all the research data. "
Alex was so shocked that he blew his fuse and said " Dad don't joke around even if we give up the Artemis umbrella your sons life depends on the Blitz being ready in at least 19 days or your son will have to take more risks on Archangel. "
James said " Lucky for you we got the X200 frame for Blitz even though we don't have complete data and we are already building a frame for John's MS Shield Blitz for now and we can complete it's complete manufacture in 2 days with the help of Maws with EWM's and let this be a lesson son you can't plan everything perfectly so leave some room for error's in your plans from now on . This time if not for secret help from Rondo Mina Sahaku we would be in a bind forget getting Artemis's umbrella . You would be in a bigger mess with your plan to leave the battlefield as a person who got involved by accident. "
Alex asked " Mina's help ? No why did we even ask for her help and how did you get her to agree to help us ?"
