As we all know, before entering the universe, Marines soldiers was always the loneliest, loneliest, and most painful soldier.
Because their range of activities is strictly limited to the "small" ship, they travel through narrow corridors every day, and even the resting and sleeping areas are extremely crowded.
Perhaps only when you get on the deck and look out at the endless sea can you relieve the depression in your heart a little.
In the same way, after entering the universe, the soldiers on the space battleship also face the same problem.
And compared to the sea where you can hear some sounds and see some scenery, the deep black sky is more likely to make people feel lonely.
Although with the development of technology, warships with excellent performance like Archangel will be equipped with a large number of casual game equipment for the entertainment and relaxation of officers and soldiers on board.
But the actual effect is not very good.
Especially when supplies are insufficient and facing fierce enemy pursuit, people's nerves will become extremely tense.
As time goes by, it will be strange if nothing goes wrong.
In the original plot, the protagonist Kira even suffered from serious mental illness as a result.
Normal people living in such a high-pressure environment need to find a channel for themselves to vent.
For Youzi, a veteran who has served in the army for a long time, the scandal between the beautiful and sexy captain and the ace pilot has naturally become a popular topic.
When Allen exposed the relationship between this couple, everyone in the hangar began to discuss unscrupulously when Murrue and Mu hooked up, whether they had ever slept together, what posture they used when sleeping, whether they played with the temptation of uniforms, etc.
In short, they talk about almost anything that can divert their attention and make them relax.
Some pornographic jokes even make "young birds" like Kira blush and wish they could dig a hole in the ground and bury themselves.
But it's a pity that no matter how he escaped, he ended up being passive and learned a lot of useless "knowledge".
no way!
Who makes him the only three people on this ship who can drive Strike Gundam.
With Teresa's character, he would not be willing to be a free coolie when there is no fighting.
As for Allen, it was blatantly lazy under the pretext of repairing the scrapped body.
In desperation, poor Kira can only undertake the task of searching for fresh water resources in the space cemetery, while maintaining vigilance to prevent surprise attacks by enemies.
Of course, to some extent, this was a job he was happy to accept.
After all, as long as he is not fighting his childhood friend Athrun, not to mention searching for water in a space ruins, or cleaning the toilet bowl that is enough to kill people, this kind-hearted young man is also willing to do it.
In this way, Archangel lingered near the wreckage of Junius 7 for a long time.
When we had almost collected enough fresh water and were ready to set off again, something surprising happened.
To be precise, the Silver Wind spacecraft belonging to P. L. A. N. T arrived here, planning to hold a memorial event for the entire human world on the first anniversary of Bloody Valentine.
The benefits of this are many, not least political.
First of all, paying homage to the innocent people who lost their lives in Bloody Valentine can remind all countries and ordinary people on the earth who started this war in the first place.
To put it simply, it means occupying the moral high ground.
Secondly, bringing up the Bloody Valentine incident on the first anniversary can make the entire Coordinators group more united and minimize internal conflicts in society.
Finally, and most importantly.
Speaker Sigel Clyne wants to use this method to ease the increasingly tense situation and at the same time send a signal for peace talks to the earth.
Unfortunately, he obviously underestimated how terrible the hatred caused by the war was.
Looking at the passionate fight between Ginn and Strike who were responsible for escorting outside the window, Sakura, who came with them, couldn't help but hold her forehead and sighed slightly, "Sure enough, we still collided? If I had known better, I should have insisted on bringing another MS."
There is no doubt that Kira, who is driving Strike, regards the escorting Ginn as the pursuit team of the ZAFT Army.
The driver of Ginn regarded Strike as an enemy who came to attack the mission.
The two sides suddenly encountered each other and started fighting inexplicably.
"What happened?" Lacuss·Clyne blinked innocently.
"It's nothing, it's just an ordinary encounter. But you have to be prepared, we may both be prisoners." Sakura explained casually.
Although she also wants to imitate Allen and directly demonstrate how to dismantle a Gundam with her bare hands.
But the problem is that this time I also came as an envoy to pay tribute to Undead. Apart from a dress, I didn't bring any weapons or tools at all.
Unless you tear off the disguise and really stop being a human being, being captured is almost inevitable.
"Prisoners? You mean... we met Earth Alliance's people? Why did they attack us?" Lacuss·Clyne asked still confused.
In this girl's view, she came as an envoy to pay homage to the victims of Bloody Valentine.
Even if the two sides are currently at war, they should not attack her.
"If nothing else, the enemy should think that we are a pursuit fleet led by Captain Rau Le Creuset. By the way, the aircraft that is fighting Ginn is called Strike. It is a new mobile suit developed secretly by Orb Dawn Company under the commission of the Earth Alliance. Well, don't ask so many questions. You just need the old teacher to stay in the rescue cabin. I will come out to negotiate later."
"You seem to hate me?" Lacuss·Clyne frowned subconsciously.
As a Coordinators with strong insight and keen perception, she had long been aware of Sakura's indifference towards her, but she didn't understand why.
After all, she is the daughter of Speaker Sigel Clyne, and she is also the most popular singer of P. L. A. N. T.
Looking at the girl with long pink hair, Sakura smiled contemptuously, "Hate? No, I don't hate you, I just think it's hypocritical for you to always pretend to be innocent. You have obviously inherited your father's talent of being extremely sensitive to politics, but you pretend to be stupid and cute all day long. Aren't you tired of living like this? Allen is right, the inside of the head is basically black when you cut open the pink hair."
Hearing these words, Lacuss's pupils suddenly shrank, and he opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end he couldn't.
In the end, Ginn was destroyed by Strike as expected.
The rescue capsule the two of them were riding in was also brought back to Archangel by the kind-hearted Kira.
When the hatch opened, a group of nervous soldiers holding weapons discovered that there were two girls with exquisite looks inside.
Among them, Lacuss, who is wearing a long skirt, is youthful and beautiful, while Sakura, who is wearing a dress, looks solemn and mature.
"Who are you?"
After confirming that the other party did not carry any weapons, Nataru·Bucky Lululu immediately spoke to try to confirm the identities of the two people.
As a typical soldier, she has her own moral code and style of conduct.
If the other party is a soldier, they will be interrogated first and then imprisoned according to the standard procedure for dealing with prisoners.
If they are not soldiers, they will choose to release the two people, or take them to Moon base and hand them over to Eighth Fleet, and then send them back through diplomatic means.
"Haro!"
Before Lacuss and Sakura could speak, Harro, a small robot made by Athrun, jumped out and greeted everyone around them.
It must be said that this chubby little guy who looked a bit silly succeeded in making the soldiers present involuntarily relax their vigilance.
Anyone who can carry something like an electronic pet cannot be the brutal ZAFT Army person who beat Earth Alliance to the ground.
"Hello, everyone from the Earth Alliance. We are envoys on behalf of P. L. A. N. T Supreme Council who have come to pay homage to the victims of Bloody Valentine. If you don't mind, could you please explain why you are attacking us?"
Sakura briefly introduced herself, and then took off her big hat without hesitation.
Attack the mission!
Even in the ancient war of Cold Weapon Era, this is an act that will be despised by everyone.
What's more, in this modern space age that flaunts civilization and morality.
moment!
Kira, who had just come out of the Strike cockpit, had a lot of sweat on his forehead. He stammered and explained, "I... I didn't mean it. It was the pilot of Ginn. He first aimed his gun at me, and I had no choice but to fight back."
"Hmph! Do you think we will believe what you say?" Sakura raised her chin slightly to release a powerful aura.
Not to mention a naturally receptive character like Kira, even Nataru·Bucky Lululu with a strong personality immediately frowned.
Just when Murrue tried to speak to ease the awkward and embarrassing atmosphere, Allen, who had watched the show for a long time, finally couldn't help laughing and joked, "If Miss Lacuss·Clyne can be regarded as an envoy, I believe it. But you, the ace pilot in the ZAFT Army, can you also be regarded as an envoy?"
"Allen?!"
Sakura raised her head suddenly and stared at the familiar figure standing on the high steel frame.
"Hey! Long time no see! Is your new body ready?" Allen asked with a half-smile.
Sakura replied angrily, "Humph! You should still care about your machine that is about to become scrap metal."
Seeing that the two people seemed to know each other, Murrue immediately asked in a confused tone, "Do you know each other?"
Allen nodded straightforwardly. "Of course! Remember the unknown purple machine that I destroyed in the last battle? She was the pilot. By the way, we had known each other before the war started, but in the end because of a small difference in philosophy, we ended up on a completely different path."
"That's it!" Murrue nodded thoughtfully.
In contrast, Nataru·Bucky Lululu was more straightforward. He took the handcuffs from the soldier beside him and said bluntly, "Sorry, miss. Since you are an MS pilot, I must take special and completely different measures against you."
"It doesn't matter! Anyway, it won't take long before Captain Rau Le Creuset will come and rescue me." Sakura didn't try to resist or escape.
To her, the handcuffs were basically just a decoration.
As long as you want, you can smash it into the most basic particle state at any time.
"Do you think Law·Lu·Cruze will come to save you?" Mu suddenly interrupted.
"Of course! Although Captain Rau Le Creuset has some mental problems and has extremely crazy thoughts, he is a very competent superior and will be responsible for his subordinates. What's more, my status in the captain's mind is not what you can imagine."
After saying this, Sakura ignored anyone and followed the soldier directly into an empty room.
In contrast, Lacuss was locked in another room.
After the two of them were all locked up, Nataru·Bucky Lululu asked, "Allen, if you don't mind, can you tell us about the purple-haired girl? From your tone, it seems that she has already known that the person driving the purple machine is her."
"Okay, feel free to ask." Allen shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"First of all, I want to know her exact identity and her upbringing."
"Well... how do I put it? Sakura is a victim of the Bloody Valentine incident. All her relatives and friends were killed in the terrible Nuclear Blast. Since then, she has joined ZAFT Army and wants revenge. In fact, not only She and most of the ZAFT soldiers who joined the army are like this. In the cockpits of many Ginn, the pilots will hang photos of their dead relatives, friends and lovers." Allen gave the answer half truthfully.
He was curious about how these Earth Alliance soldiers who thought they were on the side of justice would react when they heard that they were fighting a group of Avengers.
As expected, after hearing these words, both Murrue and Nataru·Bucky Lululu instantly fell into terrible silence.
Mu Geng changed his usual careless demeanor and clenched his fists with both hands.
No matter how Earth Alliance launches a public opinion campaign, it launches a nuclear bomb at an agricultural aircraft without any force, resulting in the death of countless civilians. This is a cruel fact that cannot be washed away in any case.
About three to five minutes later, Mu was the first to come out of that strong sense of guilt and sighed deeply, "Oh, what a crime. Blue Cosmos those guys..."
"Shut up! Don't mention them in the army." Murrue snapped.
As the person with the highest military rank in Archangel, she is very aware of the scope of influence this organization has in the Earth Alliance.
Many generals and national leaders have close contacts with them, directly or indirectly.
No matter who it is, as long as they make remarks against Blue Cosmos in public, they will definitely be liquidated.
"Don't worry about that for now. What we have to consider next is to question the two girls. If I remember correctly, the surname Clyne is not common in P. L. A. N. T."
Nataru·Bucky Lululu was very smart to step up and change the topic.
