DISCLAIMER: Gundam Wing belongs to Sunrise and its affiliates, not the author.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Okay, so this is a VERY short section of the story. Sorry!!! I guess I just don’t write in chapters well. This is the result of writing a story and dividing it into chapters AFTER it has been drafted. @_@ I needed this part to transition to the next, but it doesn't fit anywhere with a bigger part so here it is, floating around on its own.

“A,B,C,D, and 335”

“Evidently, ‘Rosencrantz’ and ‘Guildenstern’ are planning to implement some sort of test run, or experiment, on something known only as Project P at the upcoming conference. In the reports, Project P appears to be a weapon of some sort that required numerous scientists and originated long before Operation Meteor, but, due to its apparently slow progress, was dropped in favor of Operation Meteor. It seems that the Barton Foundation sponsored the research behind Project P, but from the data Quatre has sent us, it also seems that the objective of the Project P planners this time is simply testing their weapon. What they intend to do with their ‘weapon’ once it is completed is unclear. In fact, since Dekim Barton is dead, it is unlikely that the Barton Foundation is involved any longer in this project. Thus, whoever is in control must be some of the original scientists who initially worked on the project.

         “As far as Quatre’s sources can determine, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are codenames for whoever is handling most of the logistics behind this. We do not know if Miss Relena or any of the other delegates are being specifically targeted, but we do know that the ‘weapon’ is set for testing on the day of the conference.” Sally paused in her briefing to rifle through her file a moment.

         “So... we don’t really know anything about the enemy?”

         “That’s right, Duo. Well, we know they have a new weapon, but we don’t know anything about their motives or intents.”

         “Man, that sucks.”

         Sally smiled. “Hey, we still have the advantage of prior knowledge, thanks to Quatre.”

         “But we don’t even know what the weapons are, woman!”

         “Well, we now have conclusive reasons that Lady Une can accept for approving the stationing of more Preventers all around the conference building, Wufei. We don’t want a panic, though, so we will send in many agents undercover. Here’s the plan for the day of the conference.” Sally pulled up a diagram on the conference room screen.

         “We have permission to use 4 squads of Preventers, designated Squads A, B, C, and D here. Squad A will be positioned throughout the lobby, watching those who enter north of the structure. B, C, and D will be positioned all along the perimeter, in case we need to initiate a lock-down on the building.”

         “What squad do we serve on?” Duo asked. Sally turned to look at Heero. He nodded.

         “None. We’re all attending the conference.”

         “WHAT!!!”

         “FORMAL WEAR?! Are you crazy, woman?”

         Sally looked coolly at the two young men. “You two had better shape up and be ready for it. Which means finding some public manners—toward men AND women—some time in the next 48 hours. We’re patrolling inside the conference itself, specifically watching Miss Relena and the President, but that means we must BLEND in. The conference is open to those who managed to obtain invites, and many of those invites have gone to the hands of unrenowned citizens of the colonies. In other words, ordinary people, not just recognizable delegates, will be allowed to wander the area. It will be very difficult to single someone out as suspicious.”

         “But—“

         “And,” she interrupted, “there will be a prior sweep of the area for potential explosives or bombs by Bomb Squad 335, which will also be among the Preventers personnel on L1. We’re flooding the colony with agents, but we all need to keep a low profile as Preventers. I think that’s all, for now. Keep your ears open for any mention of Project P, Guildenstern, Rosencrantz, or anything mentioned in Quatre’s report. Any clue to the identity of our conspirators or their motives and plans would be invaluable. Dismissed.”

         Duo sighed, a resigned expression on his face. I hate formal affairs...

         Likewise, Wufei turned to go, accepting the plan but not liking it. Underhanded covert operations... we should fight openly to protect the conference. The people know we fight for them... and it will give the enemy less of a chance to regroup and resist.

         The door shut as the two men prepared for the conference, which was now only two days away.

         “Heero.”

         His eyes met hers steadily.

         “Relena—“ Sally began.

         He nodded curtly, cutting her off. Turning, he left the room.
