SEED - Heliopolis Siege

Thor Klune looked at the data for the Nascra-class high-speed battleship and said happily.

"This is really good. Once it's truly mine, I'll have to modify it properly.

Nami, after the assimilation is complete, don't assimilate any more warships. And in the subconscious of the people on this warship, make them all a bit more cowardly.

Then, secretly strengthen it, add PS Armor, Layered Armor, and Mirage to it, but don't use them unless absolutely necessary.

If personnel or mobile suits are transferred away, the new DG Cells will immediately leave the human body and wait in the warship, with the warship as the primary focus.

Don't let the warship and mobile suits all get destroyed before I have enough strength to retrieve it."

"Understood, Master."

"I wonder when I'll be able to pilot a Gunpla openly. This warship can't be brought out into the open for now, so it's no different from not having it.

It looks like I won't be able to think about it until we reach Artemis. I'll just have to practice piloting MA on the virtual training machine on the Archangel for now."

Kira piloted the Strike Gundam and flew with everyone to the Archangel's catapult deck.

As soon as they stepped onto the catapult deck, they saw a group of people in Earth Alliance uniforms rushing over. From a distance, a female voice could be heard.

"Captain Lamias!"

Thor Klune saw a tall, short-haired young woman in a military uniform. This person was Second Lieutenant Natarle Badgiruel, whom he had seen before.

Mwu La Flaga shouted excitedly upon seeing her.

"Second Lieutenant Badgiruel."

Second Lieutenant Natarle Badgiruel ran to Mwu, saluted her, and said.

"Captain Lamias, it's so good to see you're alright."

Mwu La Flaga returned the salute.

"Second Lieutenant Badgiruel, you too. It's thanks to your protection of the Archangel that we were saved."

Second Lieutenant Natarle Badgiruel was surprised when the Strike Gundam suddenly opened up and saw the child-like Kira Yamato slowly descending.

Sergeant Madoc from the maintenance crew also widened his eyes and asked curiously.

"Hey, hey, what's going on? Isn't that a child? Why is he sitting in there?"

Second Lieutenant Natarle Badgiruel looked at Mwu La Flaga and asked.

"Captain Lamias, who are they?"

Just then, Mu La Flaga also walked over leisurely and said.

"Well, this is quite surprising.

Hello, I am Captain Mu La Flaga, belonging to the Earth Alliance 7th Fleet."

"Captain Mwu La Flaga, belonging to the Second Space Zone, 5th Special Division."

"Second Lieutenant Natarle Badgiruel, belonging to the same unit."

Mwu, Badgiruel, and Mwu began discussing the current situation of the Archangel.

Mu La Flaga looked at Kira and his group and asked.

"Captain Lamias, who are they?"

Mwu La Flaga looked at Mu La Flaga and explained.

"As you can see, they are children from Heliopolis. When the attack happened, they somehow ended up in the factory district. I had him pilot a G Weapon.

His name is Kira Yamato. Thanks to him, we repelled a Gear and protected this mobile suit."

Badgiruel said in surprise.

"Repelled a Gear? That child did that?"

Mu La Flaga stepped forward and said to Kira.

"You're a Coordinator, aren't you?"

At the same time, the soldiers heard the word "Coordinator" and immediately raised their guns at Thor and his group.

Thor Klune knew it was time for his performance, his acting.

Thor nervously protected Kira and said to the soldiers.

"What are you doing? Even if Kira is a Coordinator, he's not the enemy.

Didn't you just see? He repelled a Gear, he repelled ZAFT's attack.

What are you thinking, pointing your guns at your own people..."

Captain Mwu La Flaga lowered her head and sighed slightly, waving her hand at the guards.

"Lower your guns. There's no need to be surprised. This is Heliopolis, a neutral colony.

It's normal to have Coordinators who don't want to get involved in the war."

The soldiers obeyed the order and lowered their guns.

Mu La Flaga scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry. I was just curious, and I almost caused a huge commotion.

On my way here, I saw the pilots of these mobile suits. In their simulation training, they struggled just to move, let alone fight.

This is troublesome. Outside, it's Cruze's team. That guy is a real pain. I don't have time to chat here anymore."

As Mu spoke, he began to leave, heading towards his own Strike Gundam to repair it.

The maintenance crew followed, starting to repair and inspect the Strike Gundam and the Moebius Zero.

Other personnel began gathering supplies from the Heliopolis satellite factory.

Sai Argyle asked Mwu La Flaga, "Captain Lamias, when can we leave?"

Thor rolled his eyes and thought, Leave? What the hell? You finally get on the Archangel and you want to leave and die? You're something else, Sai. I'm making a note of this. I won't help you if you get into trouble later.

Natarle Badgiruel said sternly, "You've seen our military secrets. We can't just let you go..."

Mwu La Flaga interrupted her, saying, "Second Lieutenant Natarle Badgiruel, stop."

Mwu spoke gently to Kira and the others, "Even if we let you go, you can't get into the fully locked-down escape pods right now. The outside is already at a Level 9 alert due to the recent battle.

And who knows when fighting might break out again. If we let you wander around the satellite unprotected, it would be irresponsible of us."

Mwu looked at everyone with sincere, gentle eyes. What she said made sense.

The satellite's Level 9 alert meant the passages to the escape pods were completely locked down.

Furthermore, all the escape pods had been sent to the launch bay. If the alert level rose to 10, all escape pods would be ejected immediately.

If Thor Klune and the others left, they would indeed have no safety guarantees within the satellite, where combat could erupt at any moment.

Kira Yamato, persuaded by Mwu La Flaga and Mu La Flaga, continued to pilot the Strike Gundam to protect the Archangel and his friends.

Following Mwu La Flaga's suggestion, the Strike Gundam was equipped with the Sword/Beam configuration to reduce the possibility of further damage to the satellite.

Before long, the Archangel's radar detected an energy signature. It was ZAFT's special forces initiating an invasion.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The urgent alarm suddenly blared, tensing everyone present.
