A/N: This is the spin-off from my Fog of War, a shameless SI that I wrote few months back.
As I was lying on a bed, I look up at the cream coloured ceiling of the room. "Oh for the love of… sigh, what am I, your personal plaything?" I grumbled under my breath at the cosmic joke played by the oh so benevolent being.
Well, this was not the first time I woke up in completely different place than the one I took a sleep last night. And not the first time I found myself in entirely different body either. Which…. Kinda gave me some sort of experience in order for me not to freak out at the sudden shift in physique.
I cast my gaze left, to the bedside table. On it, there are two item present, a purse and a Union Core. Well, still a Fog I guess… Actually, it is kinda neat. Fog and their N-mats manipulation is one of thing that I really love.
The only complaint was I'm no longer Takao. The platinum blonde, almost silver bangs and dark purple ball gown were the tell-tale signs I was turned into another Fog. The Kongou.
On the other hand… "Well, it's an upgrade, I guess," I said. Maybe being a 'battleship' was the compensation for the 'transition', and I wasn't about to look the gift horse in the mouth.
At the same time, I was inspecting my pale, almost ivory skin instead of the more pinkish tinge I got used to when I was Takao. Even without looking at a mirror, I had no doubt my lips are in pale blue and my eyes are crimson in colour.
But first thing first, status check. I could always complaint about the gothic look later.
I rose up and sat cross legged on the bed. Then, with long practiced mental command, I popped a hexagonal screen at the front of me, and began to check of my personal status. Now let's see…
Average U.Core usage: 3.72%
Mental model: Available.
Mental model's status: optimal.
Hull: Not available, pending reconstruction.
….
To curse, or not to curse?
Sigh…
Well, that sucked. How the hell was I supposed to run around and cause mayhem if I my ship self was missing? Hm, at least I still got the….
Excuse me for a moment please.
Not now.
Not yet.
…
God fucking… DAMMIT!!!!
The entire internet cache just got wiped out from my databank. Madoka, gone. Silly AU timelines, gone. Ace Combat series, also gone! The only things left were Fog's stuff, some blueprints and few Wikipedia entries.
"Ugh…." I groaned with my face in my palms. All of my favourite entertainments were gone for good. Honestly, that was beyond cruel. But then again, I still had to find my bearing in this new place so I put my grieving to the side.
I changed the display and looked at another status page. Well, looks like I am allowed to change my attire in any way I saw fit, but I was denied access to make any major changes on the physical appearance of my mental model.
There goes my plan for easy shapeshifting.
On the other hand, I was allowed to rebuild my hull according to my taste, if I could lay my hands on enough nanomaterials. As of right now, I only possessed enough to build a small, destroyer sized hull. They were compressed into tiny, inert cubes. At the very least, I could easily bring them anywhere with me.
Then, I reached out to the handbag took a look. There were nothing weird inside, just a purse, vanity items, house keys, car key… huh, neat. Also, there were cell phone, passbook and some little knickknacks.
Next, I took the purse out and investigated the contents. Apparently, I already have an established identity here. From the ID card I found, I was registered as Katherine Thurston-Vickers.
My left eye twitched at the printed name. 'I see what you did there, you stupid bat.'
Also, there were small letterings on one corner of the card that declared my status as a permanent resident, and my address seemed to be in…
Frakking hell. It was Heliopolis, the resource colony belonged to United Emirates of Orb. Immediately, I rose up from the bed and walked in rush steps to the balcony.
And sure enough, instead of the clear blue sky, I was treated with the view of a massive central shaft, forming the spine of a great cylinder which spanned dozens of kilometres in length and at least three kilometres in diameter.
"I- I need a tea."

I get that you're disinterested with SEED side of the crossover and I respect your choice. But from your harsh comment, I have to wonder whether you have some sort of hate against CE-verse.
In the title, I already declared the crossover. You should have noticed it before you read the fic.
GingaNoTsurugi
Hear Me Howl!
actually it was a possibility of a fog Mobile suit. But then I remembered Silly Ginga Fog no need Mobile suits everything goes boom! This will end up being missile spam and other fog weaponry porn.
Which makes me sad......
Mobile Suits are inherently inferior to an actual warship from an objective standpoint. At least in open space, there's something of a tilting point when near other stuff. This situation generally accounts for why ____ Robots are typically at the short end of the stick in crossovers with more... 'Sensible', militaries.
As a bit of a recommendation, have you ever read GundamChief's Trololo?
All Kongo's like tea.
In this case, I would suggest more than just a tea. You need ALL the tea.

Tea with rum?

For a while, at least.
Thankfully, my personal memories were left intact. And because of that, I was more than aware of which universe the frakking bat dumped me into. And that got me into thinking whether I should actively influence the events or not, which I personally inclined not to. Let Jesus Yamato do his Jesus stuff and the world would be a better place.
On the other hand…
I pushed myself up from the seat, picked the cup of tea and made my way to the balcony. The view outside was bad at all, save the surreal image of upside down city located at the far side of the Heliopolis' inner wall.
One thing Kira couldn't prevent was the destruction of this colony. It was a beautiful place, and one of the few sanctuary for those who wished to stay out of the Bloody Valentine War. Furthermore, if I recalled, Heliopolis was one of the few places in space not really affected by it.
Until Rau le Creuset and his merry band of rich boys club performed their usual shenanigans.
And why the hell Orb didn't demand his head for the loss of their space colony was beyond me. But if I got anything to say…
Involuntarily, I let out a small smirk on my face. If I could foil the attack and led to Arthrun, Yzak Dearka and Nicol's capture… The thought of PLANT councillors running around and trying to negotiate the release of their kids from Orb's captivity somehow amused me. That would be a delicious media circus to watch.
On the other hand, that would probably ensure the Gundams remained in Earth Alliance's hand. No matter how I liked the Archangel and her crews, they were still too loyal to EA's for me to let them keep the Gundams.
Guh, a frakking dilemma already. Better not think about it too much.
With a few long sips, I finished the rest of my drink and decided to head out for some sightseeing. However, I was not going to walk out with the ball gown. It was too out of place here and the long train just made it worse. A change of my outfit was required.
I spent several picoseconds to decide on my new outfit before I came to a particular design.
Yeas, it still looked a bit outrageous, but people would think I was a cosplayer at most. Which in truth, the outfit definitely a cosplay costume. But hey, no one here would know about it.
Idly, I rearrange the nanomaterials. The dark purple gown and my own body, save the head, glowed brightly in purple light. Once the process was over, the gown was replaced by highly modified miko uniform and paired with black pleated skirt. As for the final touch, three golden hair sticks were attached to each of my two spiky buns.
In front of the mirror in my bedroom, I twirled to the left, and to the right a little. 'Not too bad, I guess,' I told myself, satisfied with the result.
Once I secured my Union Core, I took the handbag with me and fished out the cell phone. The screen lit up to life with a soft touch of my finger. I looked at the date stated on the lower right corner of the screen: Jan 25, 71CE.
Unaware of the significance of the date, I put the phone back into my handbag and made my way outside.
As I was walking in the nearby park, I used the phone to search for some significant news.
No, I decided not to connect to the web with my Union Core. While I knew I could brute force any security systems in place, I possessed zero experience in cyber warfare. And who knew what would happens if I caught some of the bazillion types of computer virus unaware. For all I knew, it could translate into some sort of Ebola like disease on my mental model.
I put the phone back into my handbag. Save from the headlines report regarding the fall of Kaohsiung Space Port to ZAFT hands, the rest of them are just the normal stuff I would normally find back in the 21st. it was an important one, because I knew that the attack was near.
And Fate decided to give its agreement when the ground beneath my feet shook violently.

A bit ho hum, but an acceptable snippet. Possibly try to add a bit more life to your writings, like what would you think in the situation. Not just the big thoughts, but the little grumblings about how its a bit too cold or you got some gum on your shoe and then swore quietly about it. Its the little details that really sell a world.

Hmm. . .Is sad that there was only ONE Archangel-type Hull completed, and there wasn't another in building process? Ironically, Heliopolis being destroyed, and later evacuated would provide Kongou with a debris field worth several BILLION tons of pure high quality Alloys as baseline material, and the chance of ransack and plunder any computer still in the now airless remains from the Colony in order to incorporate CE tech to her tech files for further messing.
I wonder if ORB has a Kongou-class. Also, I hear there's an Astay Gold frame in the area that few people would miss should it be 'misplaced'. Though it might be more palatable if it had an upgrade or two first. Or maybe you can hi-jack Artemis and use it as a base of operations. Nobody would miss it.

Alright, I'll be watching this. Once I'm home come Monday and NOT stuck on an old iphone I'll be happy to beta future chapters for you.
Aside from that, there's two or three spots where a word is missing and I'd also make sure to double check the verb tenses.
Till then, ja ne!
Edit: if Kongo is going to go around collecting/acquiring/stealing/ absconding mobile suits, then I would suggest she get the Stargazer, cause god damn is that suit badass.

Err. . .Not possible. Stargazer its post First Bloody Valentine War(Gundam SEED), if not as a secondary line of events INSIDE the Second Bloody Valentine War(Gundam SEED Destiny), meaning that at least for the development of Stargazer close to over 2 years are left. And THAT, without the wonderful and most than likely timeline-got-RAPED effect of Miss FoF here.
NOTHING to make discrimination of any type seem idiotic than the awareness that "Alien Life" its more likely to blast the shit outta ya than befriend you. . . .It turns the dichotomy of "Naturals Vs Coordinators" Back into "Humans Vs Them/IT"
The only thing that it could make things more "Crap your pants" worthy, is if KONGOU decides to use the concept of Mobile Dolls mixed with DRAGOON.

@holyknight just because it may not be built doesn't mean miss FoF can't recreate it by absorbing/restructuring another suit for materials. If she has meta knowledge then there wouldn't be too much of an issue.

AND? Let's be serious.
Outside of "looking cool" . . .
for ANY serious military design standard, the Stargazer SUCKED. Big Hairy Donkey balls of FAIL in what to design refers. The ONLY Reason why it was designed like that, was SPECIFICALLY due to the Star Drive system in the MS. Otherwise the unit lacked ANY remarkable features unrelated to its Star Drive or Self Repair system that could make it worth the time to painstakingly replicate the unit. If you are going to make an unit, at most you would try to replicate the Beam capture effect in order to mess with enemy beam fire without having to spend more energy on the shields of the FoF unit, but for an MS, i can see as more useful for agility and speed the variants of Voiture Lumiere seen in the Destiny and Strike Freedom Gundam.

"What the…" the words died in my throat as I hunched a little, lowering my center of gravity in order to keep my balance. It was like experiencing an earthquake. The ground shook violently, any unsecured item rattled while some fell to the ground, and some passer by squeaked in surprise and confusion.
"What was that?" One of a nearby woman asked in confusion.
"I don't know, asteroid, perhaps?" a male voice replied, equally baffled by the shaking he had just experienced.
Damn it, it was the attack and I was sure of it. "Tch, and here I'm hoping to at least give Orb some warning," I muttered to myself.
Then, the colony shook again with weaker tremors from more distant explosions. As if on cue, sirens began to wail from all the emplaced loudspeakers, interspersed with announcement by the colony's authority. "This colony is under alert level six. All residents are advised to head to the nearest shelter until further notice. I repeat, this colony is under…"
Almost immediately, the people around me began to look at each other. There were confusion, worry and air of general disbelief on their face. Even so, they obeyed the announcement when they quickly headed to several buildings nearby.
Idly, my eyes trailed a mother who was comforting her crying baby when she walked past me. 'Probably spooked by the shaking earlier.' I thought to myself.
Rather than following them, I quietly walked away to the more secluded place of the park. I looked around, making sure there were nobody nearby before I leapt onto a tree and hid myself inside the crown.
I almost regretted the decision, almost, when I felt something crawling up my legs. Ants… It seemed that my earlier jump had shook the branches more than I should, and agitated some nests in the process.
No, they didn't bit me. But the sensation of these little things crawling up my legs was totally uncomfortable ass heck.
I growled in annoyance before I heat my mental model up a little, just enough to kill those little buggers off. Honestly, not even a space colony was spared from these little bugs.
I watched with some satisfaction when the ants fell off my body. Good. 'Burn babies… buuuurnnnn….'
Then, I turned my gaze upwards, scanning the air with my eyes for any signs of ZAFT mobile suits. "Cmon… cmon…. Where are you guys…" I said in low voice. I knew would attack the convoy that was carrying the Gundams, and if I could see them, they would be my best lead to where the main…
"Found you." I said, and let out a grin when I heard the low rumble of the mobile suits' thrusters overhead. I looked around, and found the area was considerably emptier than before. There were some people around, probably stragglers who were still making their way to the shelter.
"Clear the area faster you frakkin idiots…" I grumbled in annoyance. I wanted to have a full scan at the GINNs. But with possible eyewitnesses around, I couldn't do it without risking them seeing the data rings surrounding me whenever I activated my sensor suites.
I watched as two GINNS flew overhead, passing the park where I was hiding towards somewhere in the distance on the same area stripe. For a moment, I wondered whether a photon handgun would do any damage on the mobile suits. 'Well, you'll never know unless you try.' I thought with wry amusement.
I waited for few more minutes, and tried my best to ignore the ZAFT mobile suits as they were shooting at various missile trucks that were defending the Gundams. 'Just a little more…' I told myself. Just few minutes before, the alert level has been raised to level eight and evacuation order has been issued.
It wouldn't be long before the colony was empty enough for me to make my move.

Tell me she's going to steal/high jack at least one of the suits. Maybe all of them? I mean if she digitally connected, she could just take command of the suits, force the pilots out and then go on her merry way. Maybe take the arkangel with her after forcing the crew off and destroying the PLANT ships outside.
Edit: if she absorbed and then rebuilt the arkangel to her own standards, Kongo could probably turn it into something that only a super weapon could even touch. Klein Fields, Wave-Force armor, high angle laser cannons, photon cannons, thanatonium based warheads, super heavy gravitation cannons, the mirror-ring system...the list of what she could do goes on and on. Even more dangerous is that the gravitation cannon might have near-infinite range in space since most conflicts would be a good distance away from the disruption of Earth's gravitational field.
In other words she could snipe anyone and anything she wanted too, especially with the incredible accuracy and computational power of a Fog battleship.
