Thor Klune nodded helplessly from the side and said.

"Yes, let's go as soon as possible. The later it is, the more troublesome it will be.

Besides, the task of protecting this ship relies on Kira. If he were to have some accident because he couldn't think straight.

We don't know what this ship will become in the future?"

Sai Argyle agreed.

"Yes, Frey. And we didn't get any supplies at the Artemis Military Base before, and ZAFT will still be chasing us."

Frey Alsta said dejectedly.

"Okay, I get it. I'll go apologize."

Thor Klune could only shake his head helplessly from the side, speechless.

The next day at noon, Sai Argyle came to the mess hall to eat after his shift ended.

As soon as Sai Argyle sat down next to Frey Alsta, Frey immediately got up and left.

Sai sat down again, and Frey immediately left again. This repeated several times.

It was only when Sai inquired that he learned Frey was unhappy because of him. He opened his mouth and said.

"They said to save water, which meant I couldn't take a shower yesterday. It was really uncomfortable."

The group of people nearby, including Thor Klune, were speechless at this goofball and thought to themselves.

This woman Frey is truly a genius, a truly self-serving individual.

Just then, Kira Yamato walked in. Thor Klune saw him and asked.

"Kira, has the Strike Gundam's maintenance and preparation been completed?"

Kira Yamato rubbed the back of his head and said sheepishly.

"It's done, but we can't use the washing machine to clean it. Saving water is terrible. It must have caused you a lot of trouble too."

At this moment, Sai Argyle sat next to Frey Alsta and gently nudged her a few times, signaling her to apologize.

Frey Alsta reluctantly stood up, walked to Kira Yamato's side, and apologized, bowing.

"Kira, I'm truly sorry about what happened last time. I can't believe I said those things to you then."

Kira Yamato asked in confusion, "Said what?"

"It was at the Artemis Military Base, when I said you were a Coordinator."

Kira Yamato smiled gently at Frey Alsta, looking as if it were no big deal, and said.

"It's nothing serious. I didn't mind. Besides, it's the truth."

Frey Alsta felt relieved and smiled, saying, "Thank you."

Then she turned to look at Sai Argyle, with no trace of Kira Yamato in her eyes.

Inside the Archangel's bridge, Mwu La Flaga, Nataru Bagiruru, and Mu La Flaga were discussing where to go next.

The Archangel's water and food supplies were already severely insufficient and urgently needed replenishment.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to travel long distances to any Earth Federation base.

After intense discussion, they finally decided to head first to the wreckage in the Debris Belt, which was closest to the Archangel.

That is, to the wreckage of the PLANT's agricultural satellite "Junius 7".

There should be a large amount of ice floating in space, providing ample water resources, which could at least solve the most critical water problem for now.

After deciding on the route, Kira Yamato and his group were all summoned to the bridge for a meeting. It was likely to inform them about heading to the wreckage of Junius 7 to search for supplies.

Thor Klune's heart was filled with excitement and anticipation. He would finally see the true appearance of Lacus Clyne, whom he had longed to see.

Although he had seen her countless times in anime and doujinshi, this was a real person! A real person!

Although he had secretly downloaded Lacus Clyne's music videos within a few days of arriving in this world.

But that was still modified, wasn't it?

Yes, it must have been. It was modified. That didn't count as a real meeting.

Yes, the upcoming one would be the real meeting.

She was, after all, his former dream girl.

He was so excited and thrilled about their first meeting. He felt so fortunate.

It was like getting a new toy or game you really liked, how could a man not be excited?

...Men are all the same. What they don't have yet is always the best.

Also, if there was a chance, it would be great to capture that reconnaissance Gear. That would be another opportunity to pilot a Gunpla early.

Unfortunately, no matter how excited or thrilled he was inwardly, he had to put on a show of reluctance on the surface. It was really difficult.

Mu La Flaga said to everyone, "We have found a place where we can resupply."

Sai Argyle asked, "Resupply? Where are we resupplying?"

Mu La Flaga continued, a bit sheepishly.

"It's less about being able to resupply, and more about being able to resupply freely."

Mwu La Flaga said, "We're heading to the Debris Belt."

Thor Klune feigned ignorance, asking, "The Debris Belt? Where's that?"

Sai Argyle chimed in, "Wait, could it be..."

Mu La Flaga said proudly, "You've got a good head on your shoulders."

Mwu La Flaga added.

"The Debris Belt is where all sorts of things that drift in space have gathered. Naturally, there will be warships destroyed in battle there too."

Thor Klune pretended to be a little scared.

"Are you saying we have to resupply there?"

Mu La Flaga said, "There's no other way. If we don't, we won't last much longer."

Mwu La Flaga spoke up.

"I expect you all to help us with the transport using your work ships then."

Nataru Bagiruru said.

"We don't want to force anyone, but there's no other option. This is for our survival."

Mwu La Flaga said.

"We don't intend to take what belongs to the deceased, we just want to ask for a little.

Things we need to use right now to survive."

Thor Klune looked at Kira, Miriallia, and the others, then said.

"Alright, we understand. We agree with your proposal."

Soon, Kira Yamato piloted the Strike Gundam, while Thor Klune and Miriallia Haw piloted the modified Moebius Kai together.

The modified Moebius Kai had a set of the Blitz Gundam's shield system on the right, a spare shield from the Strike Gundam on the left, and the Blitz's claw-like anchor mounted on its belly.

Everyone else piloted engineering ships to the Debris Belt, preparing to salvage supplies.

They arrived at the wreckage of Junius 7, where a large number of cars, debris, and even human corpses were floating.

Everyone was astonished by the shattered state of Junius 7. They entered the dwellings of the Junius 7 satellite to search for supplies and assess the situation.
