The Jupitris continued to make mysterious moves.
Reccoa Londe therefore snuck into the Jupitris to search into its identity.
Scirocco saw right through Reccoa's actions...
...but for some reason, allowed her to escape.
Crisis at Side 2
Hurry with the preparations for the Suit Carrier!
And lunch, too!
Captain Bright expresses his regrets for not being able to take you to Von Braun.
Never mind me. Right now, all eyes should be on Side 2.
The Titans are trying to crush a Side 2 Colony...
...and intimidate us A.E. U. G. As a result.
We won't let the Titans have it their way.
We'll keep fighting even while we're eating.
Looks like I'll be eating in Von Braun.
Here you are. Here's yours.
Here you are.
Here you are, sir.
Thank you.
- Katz? - Hello.
Here you are, Miss Emma. A pilot's meal for you.
Thank you.
It really helps to have someone take on these jobs, but...!
And here's your drink.
Thank you.
Did you have a chance to say goodbye to Lieutenant Quattro?
No.
You're still not too late.
Why don't you go to the bridge now?
The lieutenant was saying...
"These days, time spent worrying is time wasted. Don't waste time."
But you never know when you'll see the Lieutenant again.
That's true.
Well, as long as you're aware of it.
Later I'll help you with your Nemo simulation.
Thank you very much.
Later.
He seems grown-up all of a sudden. What happened?
The Suit Carrier is taking off!
Okay, you're flying on your own.
Take care.
Please take care of Side 2.
Rest assured.
Shall we follow the Hyaku Shiki on monitor?
No, that won't be needed!
What is it, Samarn?
A laser message from Von Braun City has been deciphered.
Show me.
Please come to the analysis room.
All right.
Torres, catch up on some rest!
I haven't got anyone to replace you should you get sick!
Thank you very much!
- And? - Yes.
The observation unit at Sweetwater has confirmed that...
...the Alexandria is the battleship sailing from Side 7 to Side 2.
But that's no different than usual.
No, but they seem to have made contact with...
...a supply vessel specializing in gasses.
Gasses?
It seems they've obtained G3.
Did you say G3?!
That's deadlier than cyanide fume! That's pure poison!
There's a chance they could use it against the Colony.
They're a reincarnation of Zeon!
Those damn Titans!
Don't rush it... Good.
A bit to the right.
Good morning, Ensign Reccoa.
Morning!
Hi.
You're up awfully early.
My Rick Dias should be ready after a simple checkup.
That's great.
With this many battles, we may work ourselves to death just maintaining the suits.
To tell you the truth, Miss Reccoa's been pressuring me to work on it.
She's just returned from the Jupitris, but is already working hard...
...as if she had been on holiday.
Have you seen Fa?
Not yet.
I think she was looking after the children.
That girl! I'll go and bring her here!
It's okay!
It's not okay!
Isn't it?
Get ready for some "recreation" again.
Chief Petty Officer Astonaige!
Ensign Reccoa's asking if it's operating properly!
It's operating great!!
Four!
There!
- Let me! Let me! - No!
- No fair! - Give it back!
- It's mine! - Give it back!
Shinta!
Qum!
Kamille!
What's going on?
She's not coming. I'll get you!
Kamille, bring those two here!
Here I come!
Hey!
- Stop! - They're headed your way!
There's no need for you to come, too!
Oh, well...!
Be quiet!
Shinta! Qum!
No!
I didn't do any...! Ouch.
Hurry and get your clothes on!
War could break out anytime, you know!
- You've got the looks of a pervert. - N-No way.
I was just wondering how the children were reacting.
Please tell Ensign Reccoa that I'll be there shortly.
- Hurry and get your clothes on! - Okay...
These two are always like this.
Want some help the next time?
What's on your mind when you say that?
Where are you looking?!
- You're asking for it! - I did nothing!
Hey!
Enough is enough!
Okay!
Boy, she's scary.
You know how to get to the cafeteria, right?
When you're done eating, come back here and keep Haro company!
What are you looking at?
You're very forcible, Fa.
What do you mean by that?!
Are you saying I'm not suited to be a pilot?
With that force, you'll make a great pilot.
I really think so!
Damn you!
I'm a pilot, too, you know!
Side 2 confirmed!
Thanks for coming, all of you!
I've been put in charge of the mobile suit team...
...but I've only got one thing to say!
- It's Lieutenant Yazan. Why's he here? - He said he wouldn't come.
Lieutenant!
You weren't invited here...
...because you refused to join this operation!
- We're not here to make fun! - I know that!
Sorry about that.
Now...
...should we face a long war...
...several hundred Colonies might go down.
If we can force the A.E.U.G. To surrender at the cost of only one Colony...
...even God would approve this operation.
But the use of gasses is prohibited under the international treaty.
We all want to return home as soon as we can.
Now that the Titans control the Federation Forces...
...past treaties are as good as void.
You're right!
We want to put a quick end to this meaningless war!
And this operation is the fastest way to achieve that goal.
Should we succeed in this mission...
...we, the Titans, will have obtained a basis for taking over Granada.
Exactly.
While we're executing this operation...
...Gryps will be able to prepare for an attack on Granada.
We're just a step away!
All units, begin preparations!
- We're having a squadron meeting! - Yes, sir!
- Has your cylinder been checked?! - Jerid.
This'll be a tough one to swallow even if you should succeed.
I'm just satisfying the grudges held by those killed in action.
All Colonies, satisfactory!
No reports of any intrusion from the outside!
Not yet?!
We're connected, Mr. Mayor.
How does the A.E.U.G. Expect to protect all fifty Colonies of Side 2...
...with just one or two battleships?!
We've also called some reliable reinforcements! Please rest assured!
My priority is protecting the lives of the residents of Side 2!
I think it best we become allies with the Titans!
There's only one enemy vessel approaching us! We will protect Side 2!
But if they use gas on us, ten to twenty million people could perish!
Put me in touch with the Titans' ship!
- Mr. Mayor! - What is it?
A meteorite!
Negative! It appears to be a ship!
It's moving alongside Colony 35!
- Direct hit on enemy vessel! - Good!
That would've torn through the armor of an old model!
- What about enemy mobile suits?! - Nemos and GMs! Six in all!
Okay!
Send out Lieutenant Jerid's gas unit.
We've lost communication with the A.E.U.G.'s battleship.
Enemy mobile suits are heading toward Colony 25!
Get the Titans online for me!
Mr. Mayor!
We'll ask for a ceasefire!
We can't sacrifice the whole Colony just for the principles of one man!
Mr. Mayor! The Titans have already started attacking us!
Make him do it!
Wh-What do you think you're doing?!
- Mr. Mayor! - We're surrendering to the Titans!
We have a message here from Colony 1.
"Request to negotiate".
They can't surrender this way!
This war will never end...
...unless we show them the consequences of going against the Titans!
This goes beyond the fate of one Colony!
But...!
The Minovsky particles were too dense...
...not allowing us to receive incoming communication!
- That's how you'll interpret this! - Yes, sir!
We're gambling with the sanctity of life in this battle.
- Has it started? - Yes, flashes confirmed.
Wireless transmission intercepted!
The Titans and the Colony are attempting to establish contact!
Between the Colony under attack and the Titans?
What'll we do? It looks like we have a traitor on our hands!
Are our mobile suits within range?!
No, sir.
Not for another five minutes!
Okay, send the Zeta and Methuss out first! Have the other mobile suits standby!
Roger! Zeta Gundam, let's do it!
Methuss, taking off!
There's yet another one!
There's a gas cylinder attached to the N-pipe of Colony 25!
I'll inform the people at once!
Any word from the Titans yet?!
Nothing, sir!
We can aim at it from either Colony 22 or 26!
I'll get them to fire at it!
No!
You'll also destroy the Colony!
But if the gas is released, all residents will die immediately!
Are you questioning my orders?!
Contact the Titans for me!
If we can negotiate with them, they'll stop the release of the gas!
We've detected a different machine! It's coming from the Moon's direction!
What?!
Two units!
Commencing anti-air battery!
I ordered you not to fire!
But...!
Damn you!
If they release the gas, everyone dies!
Battleship also coming from rear!
Isn't it an A.E.U.G. Ship?
It's the Argama!
- They're asking about the situation. - Why are they so late?!
The enemy's already landed on Colony 25!
A meteorite?
No, that's a dummy. Then it must be the Alexandria!
If I hit it directly...!
Fire at the enemy ship from this distance?!
I'm going to hit it!
They're here! Progress at battle speed! Enter anti-air battle!
We've attracted the enemy!
To the Colony!
Kamille's headed for Colony 25!
Good.
We'll line up horizontally against the enemy!
Prepare to attack their ship!
Mobile suit team, taking off!
Okay! Go!
Mobile suits, take off! Catch up with the team from the Argama!
Gundam Mk. II, taking off!
Lieutenant Emma, I want you to head to Colony 25...
...to stop them from attaching the G3!
Roger!
Katz! Nemo!
Listen! You're going to cover the others from the rear!
Don't forget that!
Roger! Taking off!
So they do plan to use the poison gas!
Zeta Gundam! You're here!
I'll help you!
Mouar! Hurry them up with the work! We don't have time!
We've got do something to stop them!
Which side will he come out from?
This side!
Hate to disappoint you, Kamille!
What an incredible pilot!
If it weren't for you...
...we wouldn't have ended up with this disgraceful operation!
I can't get any closer to the Colony!
This Colony's under construction!
Where's Kamille?
That Gabthley...!
Where will it attack from?
I figured he might be in here.
He's here!
I can't pull the trigger!
A beam saber?!
It's retreating? Why in the world?!
I need to destroy that cylinder!
Right there!
I did it!
Katz, go find Kamille!
Roger!
Jerid!
Th-These guys!
I won't let Jerid die!
If you fire from this close, you'll also get killed!
You tried to kill Jerid!
You'll also die!
Kamille!
Katz?!
You're not getting away!
Stop, Mouar!
Jerid?! But...!
If you want to exploit your luck, you've got to hold back at times.
Jerid.
You did well to get here in time, Katz!
All I did was abide by Lieutenant Emma's orders!
Is that right?
Didn't you feel anything, Katz? A pressure from something crooked?
Yes. Very unpleasant. My stomach is hurting.
Exactly.
That's the feeling of a battlefield.
Remember that and you'll survive.
What's the matter, Kamille? Are you all right?
- I almost bought it out there. - I see.
Huh?
Qum! Shinta!
Fa! Right here!
- There. - Hey.
Come on, I told you! You mustn't go into rooms you don't know!
If you don't listen, I'll make you take twice as many baths!
Got that?!
Okay!
Mr. Apolly.
Have you seen Ensign Reccoa?
She returned to her room.
Not being out there today, I've got some catching up to do.
Keep it up, Fa.
Yes, sir!
Fa's so full of spirit.
Don't you feel a bit better now that you've seen Fa's smile?
"Hee hee," he says.
Where are you going?
I'm going down to Colony 1.
As Captain Bright's bodyguard.
Mind if I go, too?
Don't see why not.
I was only worried about the lives of the citizens.
He didn't mean to fire the gun.
The gun was thought to have blanks, but it was loaded with bullets.
It's up to you whether you believe me, or not.
But if you'll regard this as an accident...
...I'll consider recommending you for a pay bonus.
- So you want me to keep this to myself. - I wouldn't say so...!
But you wouldn't want to rattle the public unnecessarily, would you?
The captain of the Argama is here.
Show him in.
Understand?
I'm here to ask about a transmission that was sent out from here.
What is it about?
A transmission was sent out from this room to the enemy...
...just after the battle began, am I right?
Actually, this is somewhat embarrassing...
...but there was a traitor among our staff.
In fact, the officer who just left the room got injured trying to stop him.
Oh?
However, I wish you wouldn't be too harsh on the traitor.
We're practically confined inside a cage here.
If a poison gas like G3 were used against us, we'd have no place to run.
Very well.
But, mayor, please keep one thing in mind.
Even if you should attain peace temporarily by allying with the Titans...
...eventually, you, your citizens, and all Spacenoids...
...will end up facing the consequences.
The second homeland of humanity is a closed world.
The people of Side 2 know very little about what happened today.
Jerid goes into the next battle prepared to risk his life.
In his background are the strengths of the people trying to protect him.
Although Mouar's support provides Jerid with additional strength...
...no future seems to be waiting for them.
Next on Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, "Jerid's Desperate Attack".
You will see the tears of time.
Jerid's Desperate Attack
