Nearly every ZAFT Army MS pilot followed an unwritten rule: never let their machine fall into enemy hands.
On one hand, this prevented the Earth Alliance from capturing a Ginn and obtaining its technology.
On the other hand, it was revenge for their compatriots who had died innocently on Bloody Valentine. Even in death, they had to drag the enemies around them down to Hell.
Whenever an MS pilot realized their machine could no longer continue fighting, they would immediately force-start the self-destruction sequence.
Those who could still move would open the hatch and use the thruster module on the back of their spacesuits to quickly escape the blast radius.
Those unable to move would end their lives alongside their machines amid brilliant flames and explosions.
Obviously, the experimental machine controlled by Sakura was no exception.
Just a few dozen seconds later, the machine, whose electronic systems had been severely damaged, suddenly released a dazzling red light.
The next second...
The violent explosion swiftly reached Allen, who was rapidly retreating.
Although explosions produced no shockwaves in the vacuum of space, they did create equally terrifying magnetic storms.
In the blink of an eye, the machine Allen was piloting suffered severe loss of control.
The Mechanical Neural Network, which relied heavily on electromagnetic induction, lost almost all response in an instant.
In more serious areas, widespread short circuits had burned out electronic equipment, overloaded neural connection points, and caused damage severe enough to scrap the entire machine.
Looking at the sea of red warning lights in the cockpit and listening to the piercing alarms blaring from the external speakers, Allen could not help sighing softly. "Sigh... Was it still too much of a stretch? Maybe I should modify this machine to some extent, like Sakura did. At the level this world's
