Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

February 3, 2027.

Location: Kenya base.

Local clock: 09:12.

Narrative:

The Kenya base is one of the largest military bases Umbrella established in Africa twenty years ago, and it is also the largest base in the southern half of the earth until now.

After all, it is not far from Minos Island, which is rich in super soldiers, and Africa has many historical problems, and it is still a hotbed of rebels, pirates and terrorists, so the size of the Kenyan base will only increase.

View from the air.

The Kenyan base has a huge airport with various types of fighter planes parked, even the 'old-fashioned' refurbished version of the A-10.

On the easternmost side of the base, there is also an orbital elevator similar to that built on Harvest Star, and its scale is even larger than that on Harvest Star.

You can see many large military trucks, carrying huge containers of different colors into the base, and then go straight to the bottom of the track elevator.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of ground crews will drive the orange-yellow painted MS for engineering, work together to unload the container, and transport it to the track elevator.

It seems that all kinds of materials will be quickly transported to the rail elevator hub station 14 kilometers away by installing anti-gravity freight elevators.

In fact, these materials are the living supplies of the Earth's low-Earth orbit defense system.

The location of the Kenyan base is very good, only 60 kilometers away from Mombasa, which is controlled by Umbrella.

Under the management of Umbrella, Mombasa is already the largest and newest "interstellar" city in Africa and one of the largest ports on Earth.

Therefore, the Kenya base with orbital elevators welcomes supply convoys from Mombasa almost every day, continuously providing materials and supplies for the low-Earth orbit defense forces.

At this time, the engineering teams stationed at the Kenyan base were quickly assembled at the airport.

Afterwards, these engineering team members dressed in orange-yellow mechanical skeletons quickly followed into the Pelican and DR-7 transport boats that were already on standby.

At the same time, several mobile suits belonging to the engineering team were also standing on the edge of the airport, waiting for orders.

After the transport formation carried all the engineering teams into the air, they all turned their noses and flew towards the sea, preparing to assist Halsey who had already arrived in Mombasa to excavate the remains of the pioneers located in the suburbs of Mombasa.

Moreover, before flying to Mombasa, several Pelicans went over the MSs used for engineering, and used the suction cups on the tail to carry these MSs, and headed to the seaside Mombasa together.

These MS are not combat type, they do not have the anti-gravity and shields of ATs, or jet packs like Air Assault, so they do not have the ability to fly quickly in the atmosphere.

After carrying the mobile suits for engineering, these Pelicans accelerated to catch up with the transport formation, and flew towards Mombasa in the southwest direction together.

After a few minutes.

Mombasa city.

Overlooking the city occupied by Umbrella, it can be found that its plan is square and flat, and the streets are all 'well'-shaped divisions.

Most of the buildings are giant buildings representing the technology of Umbrella's engineering team. These buildings have many company logos, such as Constantine's Terra Enterprise, or the branch of Dalin Heavy Industry, etc.

There are a lot of vehicles of all kinds on the streets. Although the number of flying boats is relatively small, this is enough to prove that Mombasa's economic situation is very good.

After all, this is Africa...Africa, it is very rare to have so many types of vehicles on the streets, let alone huge commercial buildings hundreds of meters high.

at this time.

A 300-meter-long battleship belonging to the Zero Fleet was hovering 500 meters above the center of Mombasa.

Phantom.

This 300-meter-long, 300-meter-wide hidden warship, carrying Halsey, Ivan, Shia and other juniors, came to Mombasa to preside over the excavation of the ruins.

Inside the hangar of the Phantom.

The space here is much smaller than the hangar of a frigate, and the number of carrier-based aircraft and ground vehicles is extremely small.

Ivan, Shia, and Nova in straight military uniforms are walking towards the center of the hangar at the edge of the hangar deck.

Megan, Ivan's exclusive artificial intelligence, naturally stood quietly behind Ivan, but her 'military uniform' was simulated by liquid metal.

Busy on the deck are the elite marines wearing mechanical skeletons and gray combat uniforms.

The number of marines is small, about 60 people, the strength of two platoons.

The team leader was none other than Johnny Ruigo, one of Ivan's few team members.

Rui Ge performed very well in the landing battle in the city of fraternity. He led a platoon of firepower and cleverly used the formation of alternating firepower to suppress the ghost-faced beast troops that were several times larger than his own.

In that battle alone, Brother Rui gained the military merit that allowed him to be promoted from a lieutenant to a colonel.

As for Rui Ge's deputy and girlfriend, Tiz Frost, she stayed on Earth to recuperate because of her pregnancy before the start of the Human-Star Alliance War.

As Rui Ge's friend, Ivan also applied to William to transfer Tizzy from the front-line combat force to the civilian unit.

Naturally, William did not refuse, so that Rui Ge could lead the Marine Corps without any worries and make great achievements.

Just look at the current Rui Ge, who is commanding two platoons of elite marines, carrying a large number of equipment boxes and transferring them to the cabin of the Pelican.

When Ruige saw Ivan approaching, he immediately raised his hand and saluted: "Master, the doctor's scientific research equipment is about to be transported."

"Yeah." Ivan also raised his hand to return to Rui Ge, and smiled like William and said:

"Major Rui, you and I are currently both majors in the military ranks, from now on you only need to be called by the military rank, and you don't need to call me young master.

When there are no outsiders, you should just call me Ivan. "

"Yes." Brother Rui was not polite to Ivan, and immediately put down his right hand, looked around, and said:

"Ivan, where is the doctor?"

"Ivan." Before Ivan could reply, Halsey, who was wearing a women's suit, came to the hangar and asked beside Ivan:

"When can we leave?"

Hearing this, Ivan turned around and replied to Halsey: "Mother, you can start now."

"that's OK."

As Halsey said, she took a tablet as thin as paper, and walked into the cabin of a Pelican she was pleasing to the eye while studying.

"Uncle... Mother is still so resolute..."

Shia, who was standing on Ivan's left hand side, looked at Halsey who had already approached the cabin, and couldn't help sighing to Ivan in a low voice.

"Ah, yes." Ivan also shook his head with a slight smile.

As he said that, Ivan also led the girls towards the Pelican, and at the same time said softly to Rui Ge:

"Brother Rui, let's go when you're ready."

"Okay." Rui Ge replied.

In the next few minutes, the marines moved all the necessary scientific research equipment, and then left the hangar on the Pelican one after another, and flew towards the outskirts of Mombasa.
