Before flying out of the space cruiser's hangar.
Thor once again put on a worried look over Throne Gundam's GN-T Solar Furnace, saying that after the intense battle just now, continued use might cause a GN capacity overload.
Using the need to prevent the furnace from suddenly exploding and failing them during the coming battle as an excuse.
He had the maintenance crew replace Throne Gundam's GN-T Solar Furnace, which was nearing its limit, with a new one.
Concealing the fact that the strength he had displayed with Throne Gundam in the previous battle had exceeded expectations.
Only then did he fly toward Ptolemy 2 with a relieved expression.
"Everyone, the direction where that enormous beam was fired into space earlier may be where Celestial Being Organization is fighting the A-LAWS forces.
For now, put aside all grudges and help deal with the threat of the orbital cannon emplacements first.
As long as Celestial Being doesn't attack us, we won't attack them either. Understood?"
"Understood, sir."
"...Understood, sir."
During the flight, Thor also gave advance notice to several accompanying Human Reform Alliance pilots, preventing them from attacking Celestial Being and allowing Ribbons to profit from it.
Soma in particular was somewhat unwilling after remembering the comrades Alleluia had killed. Still, she reluctantly accepted Thor's order.
Elsewhere.
Regene, along with the future Hiling and Revive, had already been waiting not far outside the battlefield, ready to respond to any unexpected developments.
On Ptolemaios's battlefield.
Because 00 Gundam's Dual GN Drive System was still incomplete, it could not even break through the A-LAWS guard forces at the other Orbital Elevator.
It could only struggle to cover Ptolemy 2 as it advanced along the Orbital Elevator's connecting passage.
Meanwhile, Alleluia and Tieria were repeatedly losing ground in their battles against Hiling and Revive.
