Gundam:??? (NO SV, the Universal Century is Coming to YOU!)

Turn 0: Leadership Select

(Yang POV)

You looked down at earth with a sad and ignoble feeling as you realized the sheer magnitude of this mess.

"So...we are in the past?" You said.

"Yep...and its the start of the 1900s to so we can't even complan about things on the internet." Gopp said.

"So...everything we did was for nothing?" You said.

"Pretty much, all the blood, sweat and tears, it was all for nothing." He said.

"Man this is bullshit…" You said.

"I know its all shit, we have to deal with all the troubles of the middle ages, like monarchists...and worse." He said.

"Yeah, we completely discredited that medieval fantasy with blood." You said. "Those annoying Red coat-loving sociopaths who never worked a day in their lives, they can drown in the blood of all the lives they destroyed."

Gopp sighed. "Dude...I get it, you hate Communism and you spent a great deal of time after the war destroying and discrediting it. You gotta let that hate go and accept reality that its not going to be simple as making everyone see it as most of us see it as."

"I just wish I had the ability to go do from here and Kill every SINGLE COMMUNIST I FIND!! ON EARTH!! Before they spread their poison and murder millions. For the Unborn generations to come." You raged.

Gopp sighed. "Our nation and government is collapsing and you want to go on a Military adventure to destroy the concept of International and Communism. WE had three successions last week and we don't have an economy! I get it you're upset about all of this and want to blame the people you hate instead of getting a solution."

"I'm mad because everything we faught and died for, a united and peaceful earth and all the blood we spilled to get it is all for nothing. Now I feel like everything I did for the federation after I surrendered was for nothing." You said.

"I get it Yang I'm mad too, we were building Jaburo...and now its gone." He said.

"I'm just mad I'm gonna have to do something like the Katanga massacre again." You said. "One more sacrifice on my mind. Do you know how hard it was to round up and kill over two million people and put them all to the sword. All because they didn't like the government policy, they didn't want to care about the environment even after the war nearly destroyed it."

"They chose violence and extremism Yang, we gave them every olive branch, peace conferences, financial and infrastructure aid, and support, and they still hated us...we forced something they didn't like out of necessity, we made that clear. But at least it wasn't as bad as the Damascus or Butan Emergency's?" Gopp said.

"Yeah, like how the hell did they get their hands on Fissile Material, they caused 2.5 million people to die in agony for that." You said. "So why are you bringing that up?"

"You're not a monster Yang, despite what you do for a living...because people are far worse than you. At least you and guys like us use violence to keep the rest of the sheep of humanity from waking up dead because of someone even worse than us." Gopp said.

"Because there will always be someone worse than us. That's the unfortunate truth of life. And someone like us will need to put them down." You said.

"At least we aren't in charge anymore, this is someone else's problem now?" Gopp said.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So...snap elections are coming up Yang. Who are you Voting for?

(Choose your Party)

[]The Social Union Party of Earth: Old Classic Ben Harrington, the architect of the Federation Welfare and Medicare Policy survived the transfer and is working to deal with the crisis of leadership; he's calm and steady, if lacking a spine in backroom politics. Publicly he's perfect, but a man with no stomach for the back room madness is a liability in the long term, but he knows people and is trusted and that trust can go a long way.

[]The Earth Union Party: You knew deep down that Georges Marcenas was to blame for something, he wasn't with his father when he died, despite being attached to the hip beforehand. But despite that, he's a career politician, charismatic, experienced and somewhat funny. He knows the score and will listen when prompted. You just can't shake a feeling about him.

[] The Industrial League Party: Fai Newman, is the archetype for the Federation Dream, became a war hero at 21, billionaire by 25 and is now dealing in high level politics at 30. He can jump start something, and get the sides in line with his so called "Side Trade Clause" but trade cannot heal a nation..can it?

[]The Side Reform League: Opposite Georges on the Aisle is Maylee Soltes, who has the unique pedigree for being the first person born on the moon. She's paralyzed from the waist down because of it, but she lets none of that stop her from being open to reality, Most people live in space, they should be concerned about Space, not adventures on earth, that comes after the mess is sorted out.

All in all, a Colorful cast of characters to run a nation.

God help us all.

AN: Your leadership isn't the Military Junta, they stepped down because they didn't want to deal with people and treated every problem like a nail.

They are self aware enough to see that that is a bad thing, and didn't want to be blamed for things going wrong when they did.

Enjoy.
