February 7, CE71, around 10:00 standard time
Archangel After nearly 4 hours of galloping, it was very close to the source of the ultra-long wave signal.
Although the original plan was to have breakfast at 7 o'clock and then start advancing at full speed to join the 8th Fleet advance fleet;
But it is obvious that most people cannot sleep peacefully in this situation - except Kuzzey who dragged Sai to chat in the middle of the night before making a big mistake.
In short, around 6 o'clock, after confirming that most of the crew on Archangel, except for Kuzzey, had barely rested and were awake, Captain Murrue decided to eat early and set off after consulting Badgiruel and Mu.
At about 9 o'clock, Kuzzey, who had been too sleepy to wake up before, also ran into the bridge with an apologetic and embarrassed look, and was 'threatened' by Badgiruel and looked down upon by his friends.
Although there is such a small episode, Archangel can be considered to be "well-staffed" anyway;
So relying on the superb steering skills of Sergeant Major Neumann, Archangel continued to move forward at full speed in Debris Belt, which was covered with tiny gravels, and followed the ultra-long wave signal, quickly heading towards the 8th Fleet advance fleet.
According to the current advancement speed, it is expected to reach the position where the advance fleet is always changing slowly but continuing to send out signals regularly around 11 o'clock standard time.
But just now, Kuzzey suddenly discovered that the continuous ultra-long wave signal alarm was interrupted!
With yesterday's lesson, Kuzzey naturally no longer dared to be lazy, and immediately reported out of fear.
"Badgiruel Lieutenant..."
"What's wrong!"
Although Badgiruel just responded to Kuzzey with the same voice as always, but 'once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years', not to mention that Kuzzey was just bitten yesterday;
Therefore, Kuzzey had to grit his teeth to force himself to make a small sound.
"That, the ultra-long wave communication warning, suddenly, suddenly disappeared!"
"What!"
Badgiruel's response once again made Kuzzey tremble with fear, but Badgiruel could no longer care about this problem;
She quickly started operating on the terminal in front of her and quickly confirmed that Kuzzey's report was true;
Seeing this scene, Murrue, as the captain, immediately made an inquiry.
"Badgiruel Lieutenant, what happened?"
"Captain Ramius, the ultra-long wave signal sent from the 8th Fleet advance fleet has disappeared!"
Faced with such a situation, Murrue was also very surprised, but obviously he did not fully understand the meaning of this situation.
"What's going on?"
Although he had an extremely bad guess in his mind, in order to avoid interfering with the 'captain's' judgment, Badgiruel still responded in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Maybe the advance fleet stopped sending messages;
It may be that a huge physical barrier suddenly appears between the two parties;
Other than that, the biggest possibility is that the advance fleet encountered an accident, such as strong electromagnetic interference."
Due to the wording used by Badgiruel, Murrue, who was not really sure of the situation, thought about it for a while before reacting.
"The advance fleet will definitely not stop sending signals suddenly. The huge physical barrier does not make sense when we are chasing the signal;
So Lieutenant Badgiruel, what you mean by strong electromagnetic interference is... wait, you mean the advance fleet encountered ZAFT?!"
"The lower official believes that this possibility is the greatest."
Looking at the serious Badgiruel, Murrue was a little speechless;
However, after understanding the situation, Murrue immediately made an appropriate response-picked up the intercom phone and called the Gna cabin.
"I am Captain Ramius... Hello, Sergeant Major Murdoch? Please ask Major La Flaga to come to the bridge immediately."
After completing this key step, Murrue turned to deal with Badgiruel and Kuzzey.
"Badgiruel Lieutenant, you are also very clear about my situation. Next time your explanation can be more subjective."
"Yes!"
After reluctantly requesting Badgiruel, Murrue then comforted Kuzzey.
" Mr. Kuzzey, you did a good job this time. Thank you for your timely report."
Faced with Captain Murrue's comfort full of mature feminine charm, Kuzzey showed his boyish side.
"Yes, I, Kuzzey, will work hard!"
Kuzzey's slightly embarrassing performance made Sai look away, while Miriallia and Tolle looked at each other and smiled.
Not long after that, Mu arrived at the bridge in time.
"What's going on?"
Facing Mu, who had just arrived from the Gna cabin and did not understand the situation, Badgiruel explained the situation under the instruction of Murrue.
After listening to Badgiruel's clear explanation, Mu quickly understood the situation.
"That is to say, the advance fleet that came to search for us encountered ZAFT's troops, and this ZAFT's troops were probably also coming for us?"
"Major La Flaga, there is currently no evidence to prove your speculation."
What Badgiruel objected to was naturally not the assumption that 'the advance fleet encountered ZAFT', but the assumption that 'the advance fleet encountered ZAFT was directed at Archangel'.
However, Mu Ziran has sufficient 'reasons' for Badgiruel's 'serious' view.
"If they are not coming for us, then what are the reasons for ZAFT's troops to come to Debris Belt?
Of course, it is possible that they noticed the movement of the advance fleet and came here, but what is the difference between this and coming towards us?
Oh, yes, it's possible that he came for 'Celestial Being', but why did 'Celestial Being' come for Debris Belt?"
Facing Mu's 'one-button three-consecution', Badgiruel was speechless.
Although there is no clear basis, the answers to the three questions seem to be attributed to Archangel.
As for the question of if 'Celestial Being' is really also in Debris Belt, then how does 'Celestial Being' know that Archangel is in Debris Belt;
Although Badgiruel still doesn't want to believe it, I'm afraid it's the so-called precognitive ability of 'Newtype' that 'Celestial Being' claimed in 'Celestial Being Formation Declaration'.
In short, the enemy should be lenient, and it is not easy for Badgiruel to refute that 'Celestial Being' cannot be in Debris Belt;
So as Mu said, no matter from which angle you consider it, you can think that ZAFT came for Archangel.
After Badgiruel was speechless, Mu went on to make another 'unfounded' speculation.
"And no matter whether ZAFT's target is us or 'Celestial Being', the leader of the team is probably still the leader Creuset Team.
This is truly a haunting.
In other words, is the world's malice..."
"Major La Flaga, your statement is too baseless."
