still, there's the issue of getting the Gundams into space after missions, seeing as how at least one of them does need to go back up there every once and awhile. not to mention other supplies like foodstuffs and materials to repair the gundams.

if they lose the orbital elevators due to heavy inspections, they're going to be in a pretty crappy position. I mean with only Sergei finding out at least they have the AEU and Union elevators, but if Graham finds out too they've lost all their options.
