Alex asked " Dad get me my personal terminal i will feed the data and methods for upgrading our products and also make a company in orb to smuggle the food products to plants at the beginning of war and make it so that it can be discarded after use without being traced completely to us by the Earth alliance by using barter for space colony technology, manufacturing and maintenance machines. Even if plants will later reveal the transaction after truce between both sides. It won't matter to us as long as we say it was a normal business without involving any weapons and ammunition at most we will suffer a little and have to reduce some profits by selling some companies for discount."
James said " OK son i will have someone bring the terminal and also improve my relations in the Eurasian federation military and government. While also trying to form connections with the Atlantic federation military. Before your terminal arrives take some rest. Your mother is very worried about you and she will be staying here to look after you. So at least for her to not worry you should get proper rest and even when the terminal arrives you should ensure proper rest and work."
What James didn't know was that all the data and knowledge needed to upgrade most of the products in the world are in his mind some of the medical technology released world make those Logos in humane human experiments even more perfect and dangerous so he never thought about using all data in VEDA and only older knowledge which only give them 3 or 4 years of advantage.
Thinking about these knowledge he truly finds the development of both Gundam worlds strange as in Gundam 00 all technologies except power tech are very advanced this is probable due their heavy reliance solar orbital stations but when it comes to Gundam seed world except for energy weapons, Batteries and genetic engineering all other technologies are developing very slow.
After few years C.E 70 January
In the underground warehouse of luxurious mansion situated in island nation of Orb Alex was working on oval shaped flying drone named "Maw" which also use the maintenance machines based on the Haro's the celestials used to manufacture and maintain all kinds of things from MS, Ships to even theirs base. He didn't use Haro's as he didn't want to come as someone who is Lacus Clyne's fan. These are his minion's for his evolution into innovator as he once he obtains the modified spaceship parts he can use the pseudo GN drives along with a nuclear generator for powering the drives so that the GN particle camouflage won't fall apart due to lack of power which all pseudo GN drives suffer from.
As for the GN particles and GN drives just last month he explained to his parents that these were his 3 years of effort after he thought of how break his fate being struck between coordinator and naturals which is to become a third type that can accept both. So no one can rally against him using stupid excuses. They can either just attack him for his technology or they just stay away from him but even still he doesn't plan to release details of GN Drives technology in the next 6 years before "accords" those half baked new types (let's just call them that ) with come out into the open to die.
Even to ensure our messiah Gilbert Durandal doesn't come up with the notion that his family's private space colony is a threat with strong convictions that need to be eliminated for the implementation of his Destiny Plan. He will not use GN drives openly and only have the original GN drives he manufactured installed in a special warehouse disguised as a larger rescue pod and let his parents and his little sister be exposed to them occasionally everyday so as to help them become innovator along with himself. As becoming an innovator also comes with longer lifespan not forgetting the smarter brains and stronger body. He wants his parents to live a longer life with him.
While completing Maw Alex thinks " Well it's a good thing i encouraged my parents have another child. Now i have a cute little sister to play with and also someone to keep my parents occupied with while i am do some dangerous things."
"It's been half a year since i come to orb as student for advanced studies which i can use as platform for me to go Heliopolis before the G weapons of " Project G" are stolen. Luckily dad's efforts paid off and he had sneaked in a few loyal technicians who were supported by dad's friends from before leaving Atlantic Federation at the cost of few advanced machinery which will be caught up to by everyone by the next few months."
"Though it was only an advantage of few months they are still helpful in the long run as it would not only give them competitive advantage but also give user a brand recognition though when the war starts its up to their preparedness if they will survive the competition in an energy crisis speaking of which using the excuse of getting inspiration from Orb space elevator i had my dad propose orbital elevator of their own for Eurasian federation but knowing of the energy crisis but the government wasn't interested in it and so the Ashford group had to privately make it's own solar orbital station while collaborating with Orb union and orb which was also very interested in the unique high efficiency solar power generator and the microwave energy transmission system happily took part in it to absorb these technologies although the microwave transmission technology could be weaponized considering in a year there will a genesis and a little later a requiem."
Just then his phone rang displaying it's a call from his father.
Alex answered the call " Dad how are you? Are you calling cause the Spaceship parts are ready ?"
James answered " Yes it is ready and also i called to tell you that your mother and i miss you so we are coming to orb while also checking the solar orbital station construction."
Alex said " OK i will have the nanny prepare lunch for you guys."
After that Alex went upstairs to inform the nanny working in the villa to prepare lunch for his parents who are coming and also preparing the intelligence he had secretly gathered about Junius 7 which is about the space based food production research and also in it are details about Lenore Zala who has been living in the food production research base to get the data of latest development in the research.
After few hours
James and Emma who was carry Lily Ashford came to the villa. Just as they arrived the nanny had prepared the dishes and readied the table. So the family of sat in their respective chairs even Lily whose only 2 years old has her own baby chair beside Emma.
Emma said " Darling I and Lily missed you so much. We are going to stay here for few months before you go to Heliopolis."
Lily on the side also shouted in her cute voice " bro bro Lil miss you"
Alex " Lily brother misses you too and here brother made this mini Maw just for you."
Speaking of which the mini Maw is almost the same as Maw except that it does not carry add on modules of the Maw such as the super mini quantum computer hacking and the Maintenance machine control module. It is perfectly capable of protect his sister from child bullies with its special water guns and it's own built in thruster to head butt them.
Lily happily took the mini Maw and curiously fiddling with it.
After Eating Emma took little Lily to the bedroom to help her sleep while James and Alex went to the study to talk about things.
James said " Son with the recent development the Ashford groups wealth has been increasing very fast to the point there are many people who want a piece of it . Also we been gathering soldiers from the skirmishes who have been abandoned after disabilities or post war traumas and helped them move in with their families to the housing quarters of our security company while also providing them with jobs that they can do without the being effected by their injuries and for those with trauma we are providing jobs in serene places which will not make them remember anything about war. But son how are you going to find which of them can be trusted and how will you make them give up their grudge against coordinators and live with them in our space colony."
Alex said " Dad i will first have them work as you arranged so that they can understand that we are not pitying them or doing charity but giving them the dignity they deserve as a normal person. And we will not be talking about living together with coordinator now as i predict war will escalate in a month or two."
