Zulu Alpha arrival confirmed.
From this point on, Zulu Alpha will link nav-com to guidance channel lota Bravo.
Port entry sequence, go.
So this is ZAFT's latest smart ship, the Minerva.
Our princess has brought home something rather troublesome.
It can't be helped, Father.
I imagine Cagalli never dreamed she'd be involved in all this trouble.
We can't exactly treat the ship...
...that brought our head of state back safely, with a cold shoulder.
For the time being.
Yeah, not for the time being.
Cagalli!
Yuna!
I'm glad you're okay. Oh, you had me really worried, you know!
Oh... well... um... sorry 'bout that.
Come on, Yuna. I know how you feel, but this isn't the place.
Can't you tell that the ZAFT crew is uncomfortable?
Unato Ema!
Good to see you back, Representative.
It's a relief to finally see you return safely.
I'm sorry that I couldn't be here during this crucial time.
I thank you for taking care of things while I was gone.
Please update me on the situation with casualties and damages.
Areas along the shore were damaged by the high waves...
...but fortunately there were no direct hits within Orb.
I'll provide you with the details later during our administrative meeting.
I'm Talia Gladys, Captain of the ZAFT Forces ship Minerva.
Arthur Trine, Executive Officer of the same.
I am Unato Ema Seiran, Prime Minister of the Orb Union.
We are most grateful to you for bringing our Chief Representative back safely.
Thank you. Though what happened was unexpected...
...we regret very much that Representative Athha had to go through all that trouble.
Furthermore, we express our condolences for your losses from the recent tragedy.
I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
In any case, I suggest you people get some rest. I understand your situation.
Your crew must be extremely exhausted.
Thank you very much.
We should make our way to the administrative meeting.
I'm sorry to have to insist on this immediately upon your return...
...but there are many things that we must report to you.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, and we're very grateful for your services, Alex.
We thank you for protecting Cagalli during this time.
My pleasure.
You may submit your report later. Right now, get some rest.
We might be asking you to act as an intermediary...
...between us and the PLANTs in the future.
But, ah...
However, I wonder what their true intentions are.
Seiran has always favored the Atlantic Federation.
With the position they're taking, even with Cagalli's return...
You're right.
Whatever the case, what's happened has blown things out of proportion.
What did you say?!
You're finalizing a new alliance treaty with the Atlantic Federation?!
What in the world has gotten into you, and at a time like this?!
Right now, our priority should be to send immediate aid to the disaster areas!
This must be done precisely because of the situation we're in.
Besides, it isn't a treaty with the Atlantic Federation.
It's true that the proposal is coming from the Atlantic Federation...
...but the treaty itself will join all nations worldwide.
Naturally, included in the agreement are policies...
...on assistance and aid to the disaster areas.
We are considering signing this treaty for that very reason...
...to take action more effectively in those areas.
Yes! However!
Being aboard a ZAFT ship for some time...
...it may be difficult for you to comprehend the overall picture, but...
The casualties Earth suffered are far greater than words can express.
Not to mention this.
We... in other words all of us living on Earth, already know about this.
How could this... Where did these images come from?
The information came from the Atlantic Federation.
However, the PLANTs have already...
...more or less acknowledged that these images reflect what happened.
And I understand that you were also aware of this, Representative.
But... However, that was caused by a handful of terrorists...
...and the PLANTs weren't...
In fact, Chairman Durandal and the crew of the Minerva made every effort...
...to break apart the object as soon as they realized what was happening!
That's why... That's why Earth was saved!
We realize that.
But can we tell that to the tens of millions who have been affected by this calamity?
Tell them, "You people have experienced great anguish...
...but forgive them because Earth was saved"?
I won't forgive them! How could they do something so cruel?!
They were trying to kill us all!
I cannot find my son. I'm all alone.
Where's Mom? Hey, where's Mom?
I knew it all along! Those Coordinators...
...think of us as nothing more than monkeys!
I can't stand this! They are to blame for everything that's happened!
Destroy the PLANTs! Give them a taste of what we're going through!
For the preservation of our blue and pure world!
That's right! For the preservation of our blue and pure world!
For the preservation of our blue and pure world.
Right now, there is not one person on Earth...
...who can suppress their anger after seeing this.
Fortunately, Orb was able to escape with relatively minor damage.
All the more reason why we must choose our next steps very carefully.
Ideals are important, but right now it is more important that you think about...
...with whom we should be sharing these feelings of pain?
Yes, I guess so. We should be fine if we leave the ship's hull to Morgenroete.
But you should do all the interior repairs.
Yes, ma'am.
They've offered us whatever material and machinery we need...
...so focus on doing a perfect job.
But are you really sure about this, Captain?
I can understand our need to replenish here, but personally...
...I think we should wait with the repairs until we get to Carpentaria.
I understand what you're getting at, but...
Shall I put on record that you made the suggestion?
No, that's fine.
But you need to prioritize the ship's safety...
...over the ship's secret, after all.
Unless ships... especially battleships, are in top form at all times...
...it's that much more burdensome for the Commander, isn't it?
Who are you?
Pardon me. I'm Maria Bernes of Shipbuilding Division B.
I'm in charge of the work being done on your ship.
I'm Captain Talia Gladys. Nice to meet you.
I heard that the Minerva hasn't been officially launched yet.
But it appears to already have a lot of history to it.
Yes. Unfortunately.
I never expected anything close to what we went through...
But I guess it can't be helped.
What happened has happened.
It's true of everything, you really don't know what awaits you in the future.
I feel even more strongly about that right now.
I agree.
I'm guessing that right now Orb isn't really in a position...
...to be lending a hand with repairs to a ZAFT ship.
Well, you may be right about that. But it's as you just said.
We don't know what awaits us in the future.
So right now, we can only do what we believe to be the right thing at this moment.
If we learn later that it was a mistake, we'll cry and pout about it then...
...and then think about what needs to be done next.
Yes, I guess so.
Huh? Really?!
Well, I can't say for sure yet.
I'm just thinking, if we're gonna be here for a few days with repairs...
...there's a possibility that we'll be allowed to disembark.
We've been pushed to the limit to get here, after all.
Although it all happened so quickly and everything was pretty crazy...
...it's more like we focused on our jobs, and found ourselves here.
Oh, by the way, about Orb...
Do you think... we'd be allowed to disembark?
I dunno.
Kira.
Oh, Athrun!
No, he's Alex!
It's Athrun!
Alex!
You were away somewhere, right?
Where did you go?
Where's Cagalli?
Athrun.
Welcome back. That was quite the trip.
I hear you had quite the time, too.
I hear the house was washed away, and you moved over here.
Are you all okay?
Yeah, our home is gone!
We didn't see it, but these big waves came and smashed our house apart!
Into pieces.
All of our toys are gone, too!
We have to stay here until our new home is built!
Oh, my. Please wait, everybody.
We can't even get a conversation going.
Birdy.
Where's Cagalli?
At an administrative meeting. I imagine she's got a ton of work.
Birdy.
Kira, go ahead!
I'll bring the children back from the harbor later!
Everyone knows by now what really caused that thing to fall, right?
One of the guys told me.
"Why have you forgotten the sorrow of the lives mercilessly thrown away here?!"
"Why do you live in a fabricated world, laughing with those who caused this?!"
You fought?
I went to Junius Seven to help with the demolition work, and there they were!
Remember that time, here on Orb, I asked you?
I asked, what should we really be fighting against, and how?
Then you said, we can all look for that answer together.
But... I still can't find the answer.
Athrun!
Good morning.
Sorry about yesterday. The administrative meeting went on forever.
Oh, and I'll be in cabinet meetings all morning...
...so I don't have much time to talk, but...
It's okay. I understand. Don't worry about it.
Tell me, what's the situation with the Orb government?
I see.
I guess it can't be helped that we move in that direction, given the circumstances.
Although not as bad as other places, Orb was still affected.
I can understand the opinions of the ministers.
But to share the pain felt...
It shouldn't mean we join the people who shout for revenge, and hate the PLANTs.
Go where?
I heard about that!
Shinn?
Aren't you there, Shinn?
I'm going to the PLANTs.
I hate to do this given Orb's situation...
...but I can't afford to just sit here alone doing nothing.
Athrun. But that would mean...
I'm concerned about the PLANTs' position on this.
Although I'm sure with Chairman Durandal at the helm...
...they will not resort to the worst case scenario.
But, as we saw...
...the fact is, there are still people who are swayed by my father... by his words.
Talk to the Chairman.
If there is anything I... even I, can do to help...
Whether it be as Athrun Zala, or as Alex.
If the PLANTs and Earth continue on this course and end up becoming enemies...
...I will no longer understand what it is that we've been trying to do all this time!
I thought you wanted to disembark. You got approval, didn't you?
I do understand your situation with Yuna Roma...
But I don't like it.
What?!
Y-You... Um, ah...
This is no way to give a woman a ring, you know?!
Sorry 'bout that.
Take care. Keep in touch.
Yeah. Hang in there, Cagalli.
Hi! Mayu here! I'm sorry. I can't talk to you right now!
I'll call you back later, so please leave your name after the beep!
It's all right. Their targets are likely the military facilities. Hurry, Shinn!
Mayu! Come on!
Birdy.
Is it... a cenotaph?
Looks like it.
I'm not too sure myself.
It's my first time, too. To actually make the effort to come here.
The flowers have finally bloomed...
...but unfortunately they'll wither because of those crashing waves.
I watched as you dreamed
You laughed like a child
Perhaps it means they can't be fooled.
No matter how beautiful the flowers are, people will wipe them out again anyway.
So familiar, and yet so far...
What?
I'm sorry. For my comments.
That's ludicrous! There's gotta be some mistake!
No, there's no mistake about it.
The Alliance, including Eurasia and the Atlantic Federation...
...have made a joint statement.
Should the PLANTs refuse to agree to these demands...
...they will be deemed a hostile enemy state and a threat to humankind on Earth.
At which time the Alliance will take all necessary steps to eliminate that threat...
...including the use of force.
Battle takes place in the name of protection.
Knowing that there is no rest as long as fire is exchanged. Then why?
Athrun's cries are in vain...
...and the skies are once again dyed in lights of fear.
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, "Bared Fangs".
Protect the peace of the PLANTs, GuAIZ!
