Inside the Capsule
Luna II.
It is a planetoid brought in from the asteroid belt...
...to mine its contents for use at the colonies.
Because of its proximity to Green Oasis it's being used as a base...
...for the Earth Federation Forces.
What are you having trouble understanding?
The Minovsky particles have increased in density.
It's obvious that the troops chasing us...
...have challenged Gryps to a mobile suit battle.
Lila Milla Rira!
Could you please watch your language?
Then give me a chance to get out my frustration.
You'll have your chance.
The troops coming after us are unmistakably from the A.E.U.G
I certainly hope so.
Commander Bright here! I'm coming in!
I appreciate you coming all the way here to Gryps.
It's my duty, sir.
This is a hand-written letter.
Deliver this to Admiral Jamitov Hymem.
Yes, sir.
What's wrong?
Nothing, sir.
Give it to him in person.
Yes, sir. Excuse me.
What time's the ship leaving?
In one hour.
Have a safe journey!
Thank you, sir.
- What is it? - Sir!
The troops on Luna II appear to have detected the ship that...
...may be responsible for dispatching the mobile suits.
You're certain that Lieutenant Franklin's son stole the Gundam Mk. II?
I've come across the Newtype Amuro Ray's name in the underground press many times.
Really. Underground material on Green Oasis?
Green Oasis wasn't initially a military base.
That's true, but what were you going to do if the air kept leaking?
We were able to obtain two mobile suits with your help.
It normally would be impossible to do.
It's nothing but coincidence.
I prefer to believe that coincidences result from the abilities of the person.
Lieutenant Quattro here.
Yes, I'm on my way.
- Are they coming? - Probably.
Great!
Ensign Reccoa! Take care of Kamille!
Yes, Commodore Blex!
Enemies?
I'd say. Since we're the only ones deployed in this area...
...it's safe to assume everyone else is an enemy.
Lila, I trust you understand. Stop them and conduct an official inspection.
Our objective is not to destroy them.
I know.
Do I look like I enjoy war that much?
Yes, you do.
Then I'll have to prove myself some other time.
Am I hoping for too much?
I'd like to think that he's a Newtype.
What do you think, Lieutenant Quattro?
Newtypes aren't psychic.
Therefore, I find nothing different about him visually...
...but I sense some qualities in him.
I agree. Take good care of him.
Yes, sir.
Find anything, Astonaige?
They're building a battleship in the Gryps dock.
What kind of battleship?
I can't tell. But it looks pretty big.
Make sure you make a few copies of the Gryps data.
There's a good chance we're heading for battle.
Huh?! Have we been discovered?
Luna ll's troops have had us under surveillance ever since we arrived.
Good point.
Kamille!
Yes, Lieutenant Quattro?
Are you aware that a battleship is being constructed at Gryps?
At Green Noa 2?
Yes, I know. But I don't know the details.
I guess you wouldn't.
Data indicates that the armor on the Gundam Mk. Il is the same as previous models.
But is that true?
Yes, my mother mentioned it.
- Your mother? - Yes.
My mother specializes in material engineering.
Really.
She also said they will be using different armor for the next mobile suit...
...after the Gundam Mk. II.
It sounds like the Mk. Il will never be upgraded.
My father says he plans to incorporate Zeon's technology...
...into the line after the Mk. II.
Residential Modules lockdown, complete!
Retract the bridge!
Can't we get a view of the A.E.U.G Yet?!
We're told the Mont Blanc has confirmed a pursuing vessel!
What'll we do, Captain?!
I don't like the course we're on right now.
They may find us this way, but we'll doubleback to Green Oasis...
...and head for Earth!
Yes, sir!
What's wrong, Captain?
Yes, we'll end up returning to Green Oasis.
Is that so?
Let me see.
Sir.
If we come from Green Oasis and avoid Luna II, that will be our new route.
This way we're less likely to be caught by the garrison around Green Oasis.
Right. There will be some risk no matter what route we take.
If we're only observing the enemy mobile suits, why does my wife have to join us?
There's always the chance we'll get our hands on the enemy's armor.
Are you suggesting we do a material quality check in a battlefield?!
These are Captain Bask's orders.
Captain. Lieutenants Franklin and Hilda have boarded!
Okay, prepare the Alexandria for take off! Open gate!
So these two are Kamille's parents.
Just watch, Blex.
You seem to know what to do.
Send a signal flare to the Bosnia.
- They've found us! - What?!
I found you! Damn A.E.U.G Thieves!
I'm amazed, it's only the two ships!
What's that ship?!
That's not a Federation Forces battleship!
Did the A.E.U.G Build that themselves?
What's going on?
We're supposed to inspect it, but will they let us?
Mobile suits, prepare for take off!
Stand by to fire!
A halt signal?!
Are they telling us to stop?
I don't think they believe we're dispatching our own forces.
That's because they aren't Titans from Gryps!
They're Galbaldies!
- Four units! - That many?
Lieutenant Quattro, standby with your Rick Dias...
...so that you can take off at any time.
Maintain speed!
It's fast.
They're not slowing down. Very suspicious!
Don't assume a battleship can beat a mobile suit.
It's here!
Hold your fire!
A Galbaldy!
It's a Galbaldy from the Bosnia at Luna II!
We could be leaving!
Wait a little longer! I don't want to open fire first.
Can you hear me?! Identify your vessel's affiliation!
If you continue to ignore my orders, I will have no choice but to fire!
We are the A.E.U.G Your orders are meaningless!
- Roger, then I will open fire. - I don't think so!
- What the...! - Nice move!
There!
What?
Mobile suits, launch!
Is it true that Kamille stole a Gundam Mk. II?
How should I know?
You're always like that.
Only thinking about yourself.
Right now, I'm thinking about Bask.
I know very well that these circumstances are very odd.
Are you sure you're not thinking about that young lady, Margarita?
This is a normal suit for pilots, right?
Are you sure it's all right for me to be wearing this?
We've got no choice.
It's all we have left here.
The helmet connector is on the satchel.
Yes. And now bring that to the front. That's right.
This way, I could help as an extra pilot.
Don't be foolish.
Just because you've got the outfit doesn't mean you're ready for combat!
But I...!
It's okay. You remain here or on the floor we were on earlier.
Ensign Reccoa!
Maybe that was thoughtless of me...!
A red mobile suit!
The Red Comet?!
That isn't the Red Comet, is it?
Watch out!
Don't get in my way!
Where is it?! Scan for the enemy!
Hey! They reached our ship?!
Commander, please wear your normal suit!
I don't expect to be hit! Why should I wear it?!
Wear it! I'll take over while you get changed!
Give me a damage report!
Is everything okay?
These guys are accustomed to real combat!
Finally got one.
Flares?
Orders from the Bosnia to retreat?
We've been lured away from our plan because of that red mobile suit!
Can't we win without the backup from the mother ship?!
We lost Eddy!
I know!
Did you think I didn't notice that or something?!
No!
I hope our foe was the real Red Comet.
Otherwise, this result is embarrassing.
Awesome!
Lieutenant Quattro shot down a mobile suit!
Can't we proceed at full speed?
At this rate, we could be hit by a second wave.
We shall count on Lieutenant Quattro.
- Hurry with repairs to the engine. - Yes, sir!
Their retreat was awfully abrupt.
What do you read from that, Captain?
Bask came out and stopped us in our steps.
So I imagine they'll be attacking with a second wave.
You are to open and read your orders when the capsule following you becomes visible.
Yes, sir!
You have fifteen minutes to negotiate, understood, Lieutenant Emma Sheen?
Yes!
Can we assume that capsule is a powerful bomb of some sort?
Something like that.
Okay. I understand some of you are piloting Hizacks for the first time...
...but think of this as some advanced training.
The objective of this mission is to negotiate the return of our Mk. Ils.
Keep in mind that we'll be having someone else lead this unit tomorrow!
The A.E.U.G...!
Hand-written orders, huh...
I've located what appears to be an enemy mobile suit!
They're here! Is the Rick Dias ready to go?
- We're done! - That's quick.
They're approaching us from a different angle this time!
They're a separate mobile unit!
Signal confirmed!
- What?! - Are you serious?!
Cease-fire?!
Yes! I'm told a white flag was confirmed!
A mobile suit carrying a white flag?
That's right!
What do you think?
We need to buy some time.
We'll accept.
At least until the Argama's main engine is repaired.
Arriving alone? That's very brave.
I've brought a hand-written letter from Captain Bask with me.
If anyone approaches this mobile suit, that Hizack will attack.
- I hear she boarded alone. - With a mobile suit?
- With a Gundam! Unit One! - She's pretty good looking.
- Don't forget, she's a diehard Titan! - You mean she's a fanatic?
That's Lieutenant Emma Sheen, I recall.
We wish for an immediate response to Captain Bask Om's hand-written letter.
That's a tough request.
How shameless!
Lieutenant, are you aware of the contents of this letter?
No.
No wonder you can remain so calm.
If you don't return Kamille Bidan and the Gundam Mk. Il to us...
...Kamille's parents will be killed.
Another Titan dirty tactic!
I-I don't believe it!
They're like the mafia!
It's not something you'd expect from the leader of a proper military unit!
I-I can't believe Captain Bask would do such thing.
This was written by Bask himself!
The contents are just as you read, Lieutenant.
I know. But this isn't something the military would do.
You're right! The Titans are not the military!
They're mercenaries!
A private army!
However, they're still part of the Earth Federation Forces!
I, myself, have not agreed to be part of Bask's private forces.
Bask isn't at the top of this, Lieutenant!
It's much larger than that.
These are personal soldiers of people whose spirits have been pulled by Earth's gravity!
Not even Zeon would've thought up something so pathetic.
But this might be nothing but a bluff.
Bask would do it.
I know what he's capable of doing more than anyone.
Damn!
I heard they have hostages!
He amazes me, damn Bask!
Did you hear?
But how'd they ever get hostages?
Because they're the parents of that kid, Kamille.
The hostages in exchange for the Mk. Ils?!
- Bring up the Mk. Ils! - Hostages?
We still don't know what'll become of this!
Hey, did you know?!
The kid's parents have been taken hostage!
What kid?!
What are you doing in a pilot suit?!
Is it true?! What you just said?!
Destroy the Hizacks close to the Argama, and then we'll proceed!
That would be highly risky.
Do you suggest we do as Bask wishes?!
Unidentified capsule located!
- Capsule?! - What is it?!
- Send over an image of it! - Yes, sir!
That must be the capsule.
- Send out the observation camera! - Yes, sir!
"If there are any signs of the enemy trying to take the capsule, destroy it"!
Is it a bomb powerful enough to destroy the battleship?
Roger that, Mr. Jamaican!
Look inside that capsule...!
Is there someone in it?!
I'm sure you've realized now, Lieutenant Emma!
But there's only one person in there. I don't see the other hostage!
This can't be true!
That must be a hologram! It's nothing but an image.
Bask isn't into such tricks!
Is Kamille Bidan there?!
Have him identify the person in the capsule!
But Captain...!
I'm not about to hand over something we went through the trouble to get!
No way!
Gundam Mk. II, Unit 3, taking off!
Don't get in my way! I'm going to rescue my mom!
I agree with Lieutenant Quattro!
We're better off doing as Captain Bask...!
We can't do that!
Mk. Il Unit 3 is taking off?!
It's Kamille piloting it? But why?!
- That guy?! - That kid?
Stop him!
I think he knows who's in the capsule.
What is my mother doing out there?!
Emma returned.
But there should be a return signal.
That's not her?!
Emma should be in Unit 1!
Is that unit trying to capture the capsule?!
This is always the case...always!
You're always doing this to me.
What are you doing, way out here?!
I hope you disintegrate along with the bomb, Unit 3!
What?! Nothing happened?
Why didn't anything happen?
And there's no damage to the Mk. II's armor?
What just happened here?
What's this feeling of uneasiness?
Upon her return to the Alexandria...
...Emma Sheen expresses her disapproval for the Titans' tactics led by Bask Om.
This marks the beginning of Emma's reawakening.
Is Emma to become Kamille's new lover?
Next on Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, "Emma's Decision."
Emma's Decision
You will see the tears of time.
