"Junius Seven is moving!? How is that possible!? It has an orbit stable enough to last a hundred years!"
Although Junius Seven had been attacked, calculations showed that its orbit could remain stable for over a century. Cagalli simply could not believe something like this could happen—it was as impossible as the moon falling from the sky.
"The cause is still unclear, but it is indeed moving," Durandal said as he looked at Inori Yuzuriha. "And it is moving quickly, along the most dangerous trajectory."
Cagalli was utterly panicked.
But then Cagalli realized that she seemed to be the only one here who was panicking.
Athrun was as composed as ever, while Kira and Inori Yuzuriha showed even less reaction.
"DSSD will provide assistance," Inori Yuzuriha said. "Before this, DSSD's surveillance had already detected abnormal movement in the satellite's orbit and released the information to all relevant parties, including the Earth Alliance."
Cagalli: ...
She had nearly forgotten. There was another relevant party here.
The signal had originated from this side.
"A meteorite impact? Or some other coincidence... In any case, Junius Seven is moving toward Earth," Durandal continued.
"If something that large falls... Orb..." Cagalli's voice was trembling.
"That thing has an enormous mass. Forget Orb—most regions on Earth would likely suffer a disaster," Athrun said.

Durandal continued, "This ship is currently the closest warship to Junius Seven. I have issued a special
