"We will begin with building our base and getting basic tech."
"Any idea where too? If I wanted privacy, I would take the deserts or the poles…wait! Do the poles still have ice?"
"Yeah. But we won't be taking poles or the deserts. I am thinking of building a base on one of the planets, like Mars or Titan."
As Raynor said that, Tony's eyes went wide for a bit, while the rest didn't have that much of a reaction. For the simple reason that they had no idea what the hell is Titan or Mars. Except for Arno but he didn't care much about that. While yeah… he likes the whole idea of base on different world but he already got used to the madness of his friend.
"... I see… that would give a lot of privacy… and then?" Iron Man said that dumbly before pressing on.
"Once we have foundations for our tech. I will do a coup d'état in the biggest neutral super nation on Earth." As Raynor said that, the miniature earth spun for a bit in the middle of the table and stopped on Equatorial Union.
"You…telling me… I am going to be part of a dictatorship?" As the billionaire said that with disbelief, he massaged his nose bridge.
This is getting weirder and weirder by the minute…
He doubts any would believe that he, an American, would end up high in the hierarchy of a dictator's regime which runs a super nation!
Tony Stark can already imagine Rhody laughing his ass off when he hears that!
"Your Excellency… I prefer if it was Theocracy… as someone of your standing, you should be at the very least be a leader of a religious group." The blonde secretary said with quite a serious tone.
The Avenger can see that the woman is beautiful, but… what he sees in her eyes simply sends goosebumps through his whole body.
She is a fanatic… Tony saw some of these kinds of people when he was kidnapped by those terrorists in Afghanistan.
In other words, she was a completely Godling's person and would follow any kind of order…
Tony decided to watch her closely to see what kind of madness she will unleash in her God's name!
"Not this time, Jihl. I won't be using excess godly powers. We came here for the machines. So we will be playing by those rules."
"As you wish." She didn't argue. Only was disappointed that these people won't see the radiance of her God!
"Now let me explain the rules," Raynor said that more or less towards Tony and Jihl who didn't hear this before.
"If one of you dies. I will only resurrect you after all of this is over. This mean treat your life properly. Especially for you… Ruby."
For second, Ruby Rose became the centre of attention.
"Wha? Why me!? Yang is the hothead one here!" The gothic lolita pointed her finger at her older sister.
"Hey! Don't divert the attention to me! I have someone who will watch out for me. So it doesn't count." The blonde goldilocks said that quite smugly.
"Umm… Yang, I think Ray is quite serious about not using our powers here. I'm pretty sure with heightened spiritual awareness and his passive blessings, we are heads above regular people and could easily compete with the coordinators. " Arno chipped in, erupting the bubble his girlfriend had.
"… Will we at least have aura protection?" She asked quite seriously. Without her aura protection, she will feel quite weird…
"We will discuss that later on. But yes, we will keep the powers to a minimum for maximum experience."
"... You know you could just fix everything with a snap, right?" Tony said with a sigh.
"Indeed. We are in a world much simpler than yours, Tony. However. We are not here to fix issues. We will fix them along the way as we progress in conquest and technological superiority."
"... War… what about the common people?" Tony asked quite seriously. This is quite important to him.
"As thank you for allowing us to play here. I will resurrect everyone who died in this war. Including Junius Seven, the agricultural PLANT colony which was destroyed before the war."
Satisfying to hear such an answer, the Billionaire sighed in relief. This removed a very huge boulder from his heart.
"Great. So you do a coup. Get a county. We arrive there with our stuff. What then? Join the war with superior technology?" Tony asked for more details.
"We don't join. We get attacked. According to what I saw in the timeline as my body is already is in the universe. The Atlantic Federation attack us for a multitude of reasons. Mostly because I send a 'fuck you' message to Blue Cosmos leader.
And Blue Cosmos is the terrorist organization with radical ideas towards Coordinators."
*Amused Snort*
"Language Ray! What kind of example you are showing as a Primordial God?" Weiss said with a tired sigh. Raynor could only roll his eyes in amusement. He wonders who is the first one to cave in? His white-haired girlfriend or him?
While the Primordial teen is having a staring competition with his girlfriend, Tony Stark could only laugh from amusement for a bit.
This already sounds amusing as it is. He wonders… should he ask him to send a fuck you to those government officials who still want his tech?
Well, Tony did his version of it. But if a Primordial God does one of those… he wonders how he will deliver it?
"Exactly Weiss. I can do whatever I want, and it will be an example." As Raynor said that, his girlfriend for a second looked at him with a baffled face. However, his words had a different effect on a certain zealot girl.
"Your Excellency… do you wish for me to swear as well?"
Raynor quickly snapped at her with slightly widened eyes.
"NO! It doesn't fit with your style! I prefer if you use proper words to beat people down. It shows your true professionalism. Swearing is for people who don't care about class." The teen Primordial quickly explained to her. Earning some snickering from his best friend and the girls, while Tony looked at this from a different angle. He already started to see that the God kid is more like a teenager than a some unique godly being.
It is hard to explain in words but it looks like he is just a teen with an immeasurable amount of power.
Something he could comprehend to a certain level.
Still, this is too early to conclude on this.
"I understand. I will continue how I did before." Jihl said with a nod.
The Primordial Dragon quickly nodded. Thankfully, she didn't insist on this. However, his girlfriend is looking at him with amusement. His swearing is finally biting him in the back!
"Back to the matter at hand. My idea is quite simple. We dig in for a matter of time. Earth Alliance attacks and we defeat them and lower their overall power. Once their strength is diminished, we go on offence.
Taking over their territory bit by bit until they completely surrender or we conquer them."
As Raynor explained to them, Arno had one question to all of this.
"You do realize that the Blue Cosmos is behind it and they are not going to surrender…"
"Indeed. That's why we're going to torment them." The Primordial Dragon said that with quite a feral smirk.
"I thought you won't be using your powers…"
"I won't. But there are a multitude of ways to torment people to the point where they shit in their pants. After all, Blue Cosmos is run by a rich brat who is bitter that he never had a chance to become a Coordinator."
"... I see, this might actually be fun. I assume you're planning the same for LAGOS??" Arno asked with a raised eyebrow.
"LOGOS?" Tony perked up hearing that.
"It's this universe's Illuminati, they are profiting from the war and the real perpetrators of the second war and most likely the first one as well," Arno explained to the inventor who had a thoughtful look for a second.
"I see… it appears you guys know quite a bit of this place. This makes things much easier than I thought. We could target LOGOS and Blue Cosmos from the very beginning." He offered to them.
"Yes we could, but then the development of mobile suits will derail from its course. We need certain events to happen. Like ZAFT getting the prototypes and pushing the development of certain specific machines."
"...quite annoying. But I suppose this is the downside for me, being in this with a God who plays the world like a board game."
"Look at the bright side. You will get the tech. None of the people will die after all this madness, and if you want, I can simply erase memories of this war in the first place."
"Bring them back yes, erase memories? No. It should serve as an example not to do something like this in future."
"Then we will do this the long way. As I said before, we are here for the experience."
~~~~~~Sunrise Universe~~~~~~
~~~~~~Gundam Seed Timeline~~~~~~
After finishing the discussions, it was time to get to work. After much debate about selecting their first base, the group decided on Saturn's moon. Titan.
One, it is further away than Mars. Two, the view is epic, three there is abundant of resources around the Gas Giant. Four, Raynor is going to turn this place into a liveable planet before they start their 'game'.
As he said himself. These are the 'starting' bonuses…
However, one thing in Tony's mind stuck… Saturn is very far away… as in hundreds of millions of kilometres away from Earth where all the action is.
How they will be going back and forth with such distance!?
"Well, there are three starting gifts… one is Titan is Habitable, two our base, and three FTL Drive?"
"... I see… and who decided on those? You know… at least we could check the list?" Tony said with a baffled look! He didn't even see what they are getting as starting stuff!
"Well, there is a point since you came prepared as it is. So we have your tech, the base will help with crafting stuff… and before that, we're going to steal some ZAFT stuff to start building foundations for the tech with your tech's help."
"I see… and you know… the regular stuff? Like, I need food and water… and maybe a city to live in? I don't know about you but staying for possibly years on empty world is kind of…madness-inducing?"
"Heh, don't worry about that. We're going to bring some people from Earth. After the war started, ZAFT developed technology which neutralizes Nuclear Power. It utterly destroyed the economy. So there is a bunch of people who need help and we need a labour force."
"... I see… so you say they have tech which can disable Nuclear Power?" Tony asked with a very interested look. Now, this was a catch…
"They do, it's called the neutron jammers. After blowing up the agricultural PLANT, the ZAFT answered back with neutron jammers, which disabled Nuclear power."
"... Since they came up with this, it means they have ways to cancel it, don't they?" The genius inventor quickly realized that. Unless, of course, they are stupid and actually can't do it.
"Oh, they do… the mobile suit we want to take from them is powered by nuclear power. However, with you here, it will go through retrofits to make it better."
"...that's going to be a challenge. While my arc generates pure energy, it's not as limitless as a Nuclear powered killer robot." Tony said, with a bit of weariness. The kid asking quite a bit…
"Oh, you shouldn't worry about that. The next adventure will give you some ideas on perpetual green energy." Raynor smirked at him for a bit.
"... Now you have my attention," Tony said while stopping staring at the yellowish skies of Titan and looking at the Primordial Teen with interest.
He even for a second forgot about that he was dressed in casual clothes and standing on Saturn's moon…without dying from excess radiation which comes from the Gas Giant…
