This ship will continue on to the the new command center, Rostroulan.
The Phantom 3... The ghosts of the desert?
We didn't expect an attack from under the sand.
Now let's get this party started! It's hunting time!
So this is combat...
Deymon!
Kio! I always knew you could do it!
Ms. Shanalua! I did it!
I defeated one of the Phantom 3!
Even the enemy has family!
Shanalua doesn't talk about herself much,
but she lost her parents to war, and her little sister is very sick.
Oh, really? I'm sorry.
I said that to her...
The Mars settlement plan.
The people left behind in the Mars Sphere in the wake of its failure
formed the independent nation of Vagan,
and launched a war against the Earth Federation government.
70 years have already passed
since the conflict began.

In a world that I know is not a dream

Halting in your tracks and walking ahead proudly

Episode 32 The Traitor
So this is Earth.
So blue, so beautiful...
Message from codename Maria:
"I've found a castle in the jungle." End of message.
Now we can finally mobilize the fleet.
It took a long time to determine the coordinates.
Zeheart's spies aren't what they used to be.
I would have expected them to work harder, considering their unit reports directly to Lord Ezelcant.
Attention, all ships.
We will now begin our landing operation.
Our target is the Federation's South American base, Rostroulan.
Okay, break time.
Yeah!
Well done, everyone.
Here, have some lunch.
Here!
Hey, thanks.
You just ate, Taku!
Good work, Wootbit.
Thank you.
By single-seater, do you mean the AGE-3 will have just one pilot?
Can I do it by myself?
It'll be fine. Have some confidence.
Former Commander Asuno specifically requested this modification.
He did?
It means he's acknowledged that you'll be okay on your own.
Anyway, I've been so busy lately.
Help me out, man!
I'd love to, but is there anything I can actually do?
What are you saying? You're part of the Asuno family!
I've never been taught any maintenance stuff.
But you're the grandson of Flit Asuno, who made the Gundam.
What a waste!
My grandpa taught me a lot.
But all we had at our place were worker machines.
I never dreamed I'd get to touch a mobile suit.
My mom was a mobile suit pilot,
but she'd scold me whenever I tinkered with machines and told me to go read a book instead.
She was against me being on the Diva to the bitter end.
My mom would always just watch me and laugh.
I don't think I've ever seen her mad.
I'd love to have that kind of family.
Taku, enough already!
But it looks yummy!
No, no! This is mine!
Taku, stop bothering them.
Yeah!
Wendy...
Still working hard, I see.
Everybody has to stay onboard till we reach the base.
Somebody's gotta look after you guys.
Kio!
You haven't had your medical check yet.
If you don't take it, they won't let you in the Gundam.
Right.
If you don't show, I'll tell Ms. Romary.
Kio, did you get in touch with your mom?
I'll do it later.
I'm sure she's worried.
Yeah, I know that, but...
Kio, be more thoughtful towards your family.
M-Ms. Shanalua!
Don't say you'll do it later.
Contact them right now.
Yes, ma'am!
That's what I like to hear.
Talk to her while you still can.
Helm, all normal.
Maintaining current course and speed.
We'll reach Rostroulan in half a day, all according to schedule.
Where's the captain?
Meeting with the former Commander.
Jeez...
Another lecture?
An indecisive captain isn't a captain at all.
Delaying orders will only result in more people dying.
Yes, sir.
Take some pride in the fact that you've been given a ship.
If nothing else, I believe you have the makings of a captain.
But when I think that the lives of soldiers hinge on my decision...
I just...
I'm going to advise you for a little while.
First, let's work on that indecisive attitude again.
I'm very sorry.
Excuse me.
Sergeant Major Wong.
I'd like to report something to the captain.
Go on.
An info leak?
Yes.
The signal corps' report has arrived from central command.
They've found out that encrypted, compressed data is being sent out regularly via the crew's network.
The leak appears to be an innocuous message to a family member,
but it's automatically being sent somewhere else as well.
Somewhere else?
To a facility believed to be connected to the Vagans.
Do we know the sender?
Yes.
It's Lieutenant Shanalua Mullen.
What is it?
A large-scale landing operation by the Vagans!
It looks like Rostroulan has entered combat status.
But that's...
Even when the Vagans staged their mass uprising, they couldn't find it!
Could this be...
They've determined its location.
Thanks to the spy.
All ships have completed their descent.
Report deployment status of mobile suit teams.
All landing teams, commence attack according to the operation plans.
Update all information pertaining to enemy defenses on the shared database.
The mobile suit deployment is too slow!
We'll lose the advantage of a preemptive attack!
Yes, sir!
Well now, the table's been set.
Let's see what Lord Ezelcant's personal team can do.
Zeheart.
Mobile suits have now been loaded with plasma particle bombs.
Okay.
After we land, we'll join up with the vanguard forces.
Darest team, target the outer energy plants.
Leil team, follow me.
Roger.
Zeheart Galette, Wrozzo. Heading out.
What?
Inspect Shanalua's mobile suit?
What do you—
There's no time to explain!
The area around Rostroulan is a wetland,
so you should stay in Fortress form.
You can pilot it basically the same way as in the desert.
Got it.
I know you can do it!
Yeah. Thanks, Wootbit.
What's going on, Shanalua?
We aren't launching yet!
Don't let that Clanche launch!
Restrain it!
What's going on, Derek?
Shanalua was a spy!
Ms. Shanalua?
What does he mean?
You're not a spy, are you?
Ms. Shanalua!
23rd Squadron, fall back to secondary defense base!
The enemy has deployed a large number of new ground-based weapon models!
Stop the ground-based enemies with the mobile suits!
Anti-air units, focus your attacks on the ships!
The Diva has entered the combat zone from the northwest.
Its mobile suits are on standby.
Impressive, Commander Asuno.
As always, you know just when you're needed.
Have the Diva join the battle formation.
Tell them to handle the western coastal area!
Seric Abis, Clanche Custom, heading out!
Derek Jacklow, Clanche, heading out!
I'm going after Ms. Shanalua.
Defending Rostroulan is more important than the spy right now!
Why?
We don't know that she's a spy yet.
Shanalua Mullen launched when she was told to stay put.
That's clear proof she's a spy.
Let the traitor go.
Our priority is to defend the base.
Traitor...
Kio Asuno. Gundam AGE-3 Fortress.
Heading out.
Kio, where are you going?
I'm sorry, Grandpa.
I just can't let her go.
I want to know the truth.
Where am I supposed to run?
Ms. Shanalua...
An enemy?
A friendly marker?
Ms. Shanalua?
Ms. Shanalua!
Why, Ms. Shanalua?
Why did you become a Vagan spy?
I wanted my sister to get proper medical treatment.
I needed money.
My sister is very sick.
Without continual treatment, she might die.
I didn't have a choice!
I didn't want to lose the only family I have.
Let's go back.
I thought of you as a big sister.
I'd hate it if I couldn't see you anymore.
What happens if I go back?
I'm an enemy spy.
The Gundam?
You guys go on to the assigned point.
I'm going to take out the Gundam.
Yes, sir.
I'll do anything I can!
So...
Kio... war isn't that nice.
If you're piloting that thing...
You'd better have what it takes to do it right.
What it takes...?
Ms. Shanalua!
If I go back to the Diva with you, I'll be executed as a spy.
I can't let myself die now.
I have to live, for my sister's sake!
I must!
I'll explain it to Grandpa!
If I ask him, I'm sure he'll—
You're just a kid throwing a tantrum!
Kio!
Die, Gundam!
Snap out of it!
Do you want to die?
Ms. Shanalua!
Out of the way, small fry!
I'm here for the Gundam!
Die, Earther!
Ms. Shanalua!
Ms. Shanalua...
Kio...
You mustn't die.
No matter what happens...
You have to grit your teeth... and survive.
You can do it.
Become... strong.
Ms. Shanalua?
Ms. Shanalua...
Shanalua...
Hurry!
They've broken through Gate 3!
Roger!
It was a success.
The enemy thought that the Wrozzo was just a wreck.
Good.

Next Time
Those who fight, burdened with the deaths of their comrades.
When it comes, Kio's cry will shake the earth.
Next time, on Mobile Suit Gundam AGE...
"Howl to the Earth."
Howl to the Earth
Three destinies will form history...
Gundapedia Rostroulan
If you've watched all of Gundam AGE up until now, you should have 3200 EXP! Check the "d" button on your remote!
HHHHHHHHHHHHH
Since the space station Big Ring was destroyed by the Vagans,
the Federation Forces decided to make their new headquarters at Rostroulan in South America.
Even compared to other Federation bases, Rostroulan is among the best.
Look Forward To Next Time!
