Near the end of the last war...
...a Federation unit was silently working on an important operation.
Scientists researching Newtypes worked on this operation with the utmost secrecy.
lt was named Operation L.
lf Operation L had been executed...
...the last war might have ended differently.
However, the word "lf" doesn't make sense when used to describe history.
The existence of Operation L was erased from all records...
...along with the soul of a woman.

Episode 18 The Sea of Lorelei
Catch the ball, alright?
Alright! We hit it!
Good! Surface the ship!
There are some Orc groups...
...who conduct piracy using submarines.
This is Marcus Guy, one of the Orcs who uses submarines.
Not bad.
Captain!
D...don't shoot!
A wise decision, Mr. Marcus.
H...how do you know my name?
l'm here to make you a job offer.
Job...?
My name is Olba Frost...
...a freelance mobile suit pilot, and l usually do business on land.
What kind of job is it?
ln short, l want to do a little salvage operation in the Sea of Lorelei.
Can you raise it more? A little more! Stop!
- lt'll take an hour to take on supplies.
This sea journey is going better than we thought, isn't it.
The next thing we need to do is calculate the exact spot Garrod saw the laser hit.
We're having a rough time estimating the coordinates, but...
lf we get close, Tiffa will be able to give us more information.
Oh, speaking of Tiffa...!
What is it?
Have you noticed how she's changed?
Excuse me.
l'd like to help.
Help...?
But this is physical labor.
Please, let me help you.
Can you take this to the medical room? You said you wanted to help, right?
Yes!
Don't drop it, okay? That's expensive stuff.
We have more work to do. Come back soon.
ls she alright? Tiffa looks pale.
Then l'd better...
Leave her be. Garrod, don't you see?
She's starting to open up to everyone.
lnstead of staying in her room, she's started to enjoy being with people.
Well, she's started becoming a familiar sight in the cafeteria lately.
Cherishing and treasuring look similar, but they aren't.
Especially to a woman.
- Hey, ls that all you'll need? - Yep!
By the way, is she on your crew? She's pretty cute.
lf rumors are true, l guess the Sea of Lorelei's ghost is as pretty as she is.
Sea of Lorelei?
We should be arriving at the coordinates soon.
Good. Tell the mobile suit pilots to get ready.
Roger!
What's the Sea of Lorelei?
lt's an area of the ocean where a woman's ghost appears.
l heard that even the Orcs don't go near it.
That's quite a story.
That's a load of bull.
lt is. Besides, since it's after the last war if ghosts exist, their numbers are more than the living now.
Damn right. l ain't interested.
But you know, there are a lot of sailors who hear her voice.
lt sounds like a woman singing.
That's why it's called Lorelei.
Do you know the legend of Lorelei?
The story goes...A beautiful girl sat by the Lorelei river...
...and confused the sailors with her beautiful song, sinking their ships.
ls that correct, Doctor ?
Oh, yes. Well, Hine, a poet in the middle ages, wrote a poem about her.
l used to recite it from memory, but l can't anymore.
Well, l'll try to remember...
The beginning is why it's so sad.
The wind is cold and the Rhine river flows slowly.
The mountain far away is aglow with the setting sun.
There is an elegant girl sitting on the small hill...
...with a bewitching smile.
She wears golden clothes and has a golden comb.
She combs her hair. She combs her golden hair.
Surprise ya?
Don't scare us like that!
Oh, you're a scaredy-cat.
Shut up!
Darn. l shoulda been next to the girls!
Really. Such a disappointment.
Thanks for the help.
l forgot the rest of the poem.
Ummm...
Well...I...uh...This is...
S...sorry.
No problem.
lt's because they're young, isn't it?
This is the list of what we bought today.
By the way, Tiffa is getting cheerful.
lt's thanks to everyone.
When l see them l'm embarrassed for some reason.
Everyone goes through a time like that.
Did you have a time like that?
Captain?
l'll tell you later.
l'm very surprised that there's a treasure like this in the Sea of Lorelei.
How did you get this information?
lt's a secret.
lt goes well, Brother.
We must use the Flash System...
...to get the G-Bits to correspond to our bodies.
General lmzat said it was important.
l understand. How's everything going?
Very good. l heard the second test will begin soon.
That's good to know.
Mr. Olba! What's that?
l think it's from the Federation, but we don't have any data.
lt looks like all we can do is open it.
T...this is...
What the hell is it?
What's wrong at this time of night?
Please change course.
Tiffa...
Where should we head?
The Sea of Lorelei.
We're heading to the Sea of Lorelei? Did Tiffa tell you to?
We're almost there.
To kill a ghost?
That can't be. The ghost is a pretty girl. We're going there to become friends, right?
This is no time to be joking around.
ls the ghost really gonna show up?
There's an even worse ghost waiting.
What's that?
lt's a pretty big hurricane.
At this rate, we'll end up entering the hurricane in the Sea of Lorelei.
A...are we gonna charge into that big thing?
Please wait.
Can you see it, Brother?
l do. l'll begin to investigate.
Then l'll continue my mission of recovering the G-Bits.
l leave it to you.
Mr. Olba...
Are you there? Can you come with me?
That's...
They're the land Vulture that's rumored to have three Gundams.
To us, they're just loot to make a big fortune in one stroke.
We're in the middle of the recovery, but can we attack them?
There's no other choice.
Everyone, to battle stations! Let's get moving!
- l feel terrible. - The ship doesn't answer to the helm!
What's going on in the Sea of Lorelei?
What did you want to tell me, Tiffa?
- l need to ask a favor. - Favor?
From now on, don't be surprised.
Please trust me.
Because l'm me.
Tiffa...
What the...?
We've been hit near the starboard engine!
We've detected a ship underwater! lt's a submarine! - Captain!
Launch the Gundams!
You've got a special hyper bazooka for use underwater.
lt should be of more use than the beam rifle.
lf you had such a weapon, why didn't you give it to me sooner?! GX, launching!
Sorry, Witz. We're already in the water.
At least l can intercept any torpedoes from up here.
Look there.
Mobile suits are approaching underwater!
Gundams underwater?! Get our mobile suits out there!
Here they come.
Damn! The torpedoes are...
l'm not so easy to beat.
What the hell're you doing?! Shoot, shoot!
But we can't hold out forever!
- Check the spread of the fire! - Roger!
lf we get hit by the next attack, we'll sink.
ln case of an emergency, have everyone be ready to abandon ship.
Roger!
lt's dangerous, you should stay in your room.
Tiffa.
Malfunction?
That's...
Damn! This is nothing!
l can still use my beam saber underwater!
Mobile suits are approaching this time!
What?!
Why did Garrod allow those mobile suits to get through?
There it is!
Wha...
Long time no see!
You're Olba Frost!
l'm so honored that you remember my name...Garrod Ran.
Today is the day l'll allow you to die.
Because l have a grudge against you.
But before that, l'll sink the Frieden...
...without my brother's permission.
What?!
Don't!
lt's too late. Because your friends are fighting the mobile suits...
...they can't intercept the torpedoes. The Frieden doesn't have enough power to avoid them on its own.
You're completely caught in our trap.
lt's no use! Fire!
Don't!
Shit, l can't reach them in time!
l'll try to take care of them!
Four torpedoes are heading right for us!
We can't avoid them!
Don't worry.
l will save you...
...like long ago.
Wait and see, Jamil.
W...what the hell? This can't be! lt's not working?
What's wrong? Move! Move, Ashtaron!
What's causing this? We almost had them!
What's going on?
This song...Could it be...Lorelei's ghost?
Now l remember the rest of the poem l had forgotten.
The girl sang a song...
...as she combed her golden hair.
There's a mysterious power...
...that the song has.
Jamil, do you remember me?
Are you Luchilu?
Yes. l am Luchilu Liliant.
l was your friend and we spent time together.
The dispute over the eternal Newtype, Luchilu Liliant, begins.
moshimo kokoro wo
The Frost brothers become involved.
me de miru koto ga dekita nara
She possesses Tiffa and activates another system for the Gundam X.
kizutsuita itami ki ga tsuite
lt's a forbidden system which caused the great tragedy of the last war.
