Under Xiao Ran's leadership, Orb's forces, now a military without a nation, temporarily turned this Colony Satellite—abandoned due to the war between ZAFT and Earth Force—into the Orb Army's temporary Command Post. Although the Colony Satellite had been abandoned, it was still functioning normally.
Energy, air, water, and even the necessary daily supplies required by the fleet could all be found within the Colony Satellite. After entering the Archangel's bridge, Xiao Ran's first order was for the escort teams, Landing Force, and maintenance crews from the three warships to leave their ships and search the satellite's interior, taking stock of usable supplies and equipment.
The equipment and supplies they found were gradually gathered together and sorted for storage. Now that this fleet of only three warships no longer had Orb as its backing, and Heaven's Pillar was even less reliable, they could only replenish their resources this way so the fleet could endure longer in space.
At the same time, through the satellite-grade communications system linked to the Archangel, Xiao Ran remotely directed the Orb Army on Earth, making all kinds of arrangements and handling various matters, asking about the evacuation of civilians, their placement, protection, and other issues.
It was not until a yellow vessel, based on an Earth Force transport ship and later modified by Orb, slowly docked in the shipyard beside the Archangel that Xiao Ran put down his work and turned his attention to the newly arrived ship. He let out a slight sigh of relief. "They're finally here."
Xiao Ran was no stranger to this yellow vessel. He had once lived aboard it for several days, and he was quite familiar with the people on board. Luo Juur, whom Xiao Ran most wanted to meet in person, was also on this ship.
