"I object! This country is too dangerous!"
Lieutenant Bucky Lulu’s high-pitched voice suddenly sounded.
The fierce tone startled Ma Liu who was beside him, and he glared back at her angrily.
At this time, they were gathering in the captain's room to discuss the meeting just now.
"Otherwise, what should we do? But everyone has said so, you can't get off the boat here and let everyone swim to Alaska, right?"
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
Natal replied solemnly: "I mean the price paid for repairs is too high!"
"I know this too...but..."
Mu tilted his head in reply.
Strike Gundam's data and Kira's technical assistance——
In exchange for this, Uzmi is willing to provide 'pretty good benefits'.
The combat data of the Strike Gundam are top secrets of the military and cannot be shared with other countries by their nature.
But then again, if you consider which country developed Strike Gundam... this becomes a very delicate issue.
Frankly speaking, what really makes people feel heavy is actually the second condition... Kira's technical assistance——
"Is it enough to say it's a price?"
Malu thought thoughtfully and murmured: "Although the other party didn't say anything, the pressure from ZAFT must be inevitable, and the reason why they are still willing to protect us - you should know."
Second Lieutenant Baji Lulu's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, because what he had was something that money could not replace.
In any case, Orb is a neutral country internationally.
They are not allowed to aid ZAFT or the Coalition.
Once there is a biased stance, one will become an enemy of the other party.
What's more, anyone who is not privy to information now knows the inside story of the incident in Hailipolis.
According to common sense, one should avoid irritating ZAFT, but now they have to protect the Archangel, and of course they should demand a relative price.
"Since the captain said so, I have no right to object, but I will report this matter after arriving in Alaska!"
After finishing speaking, Second Lieutenant Baji Lulu stood up and walked out of the room without looking back.
"Eh--"
Looking at the closed door, Mu couldn't help but said helplessly: "This is the only thing that needs to be done, right?"
Ma Liu smiled bitterly when he heard this. What he said was really disappointing.
Thinking about it, it was indeed true. The mistakes she had accumulated along the way were probably enough to get her fired several times.
Although I felt that this extra sum wouldn't make any difference anyway, my mood never got better.
"It's just that I have to trouble my little brothers again... Think about us adults, haha——"
However, Mu seemed to have noticed nothing and continued to say heartbreaking words.
"yes……"
Malu nodded with a bitter expression.
Really speaking, what they are going to do next is no different than betraying Kira, and he will probably get hurt again.
Along the way, they have asked Kira to bear too many things that he could not bear... Thinking of this, Ma Liu's stomach couldn't help but feel a little cramping.
I even started to feel like a very bad person.
"Alas - alas...it's true!"
Ma Liu lay on the table in frustration, tears filling her eyes.
"Well, thank you for your hard work..."
Mu patted her back, as if to comfort her.
"Please don't do this Major!"
Ma Liu didn't move, but said coldly: "This is X harassment."
He is the captain, and he may be an incompetent captain, but he still has to pretend to be strong in order to avoid causing uneasiness to the crew, so no matter what the situation, he has to be strong enough.
If you treat me well at this time, doesn't it make me cry?
······
Aubne——
Kira drove the Strike Gundam to the island belonging to the Dawn Society.
Under the leadership of Director Simmonds, we came to a place similar to a machine depot.
"these are····"
Kira looked at the mecha with the same face as Strike, and couldn't help but look shocked.
"As you can see, this is the true face of Orb, a neutral country." Before Director Simmonds could answer, Cagalli changed into civilian clothes behind her and walked over with Luo and the others.
"Hey, Kira... Um, brother Kira, we meet again." Luo, who had regained his energy, stood next to Cagalli, raised his hand towards Kira and smiled.
"you····"
"Long time no see 'Professor'."
"I heard you got married?"
Before Kira could speak, the professor standing next to Luo came to Simmonds at some point.
"Haha, you are really my best friend."
Simmonds shook his head and smiled when he heard this, "My mother and son are already in elementary school. Are you telling me this?"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Luo come to your place, right?" The professor stretched out his hand to straighten his long hair, with a smile on his face.
"You... know each other?"
Luo looked at the professor who was chatting happily with Simmonds and couldn't help but look surprised.
The professor actually knows such a big shot?
"Children shouldn't inquire about adults' matters," the professor retorted.
"Uh..." Luo was choked by these words.
"Haha, the professor and I have known each other for a long time. Are you Mr. Luo Jure from the scrap house? The professor often gets ahead of you in front of me." Simmonds spoke to ease Luo's embarrassment.
"Okay, okay, what you said is too false. We haven't really contacted each other for almost ten years, and we can't tell lies."
"Uh...hehe, I haven't seen you for so long, but you're still the same."
"You're not? You're hypocritical and disgusting to look at."
"Really? But it's good this way, so that you don't have trouble when I order you."
"Summon me? Then you have to work harder."
"·····"
Seeing the two people chatting happily, Cagalli couldn't help but tilted her head and asked Luo: "Well, what happened to them? Do they have any grudge?"
"have no idea."
Luo couldn't help but blush when he saw Cagalli suddenly approaching, but he quickly reacted and said: "Maybe...menopause?"
"Shut up!"
"What did you say!"
"Forehead····"
Luo was so frightened by this sudden voice that he quickly raised his hands in surrender and stepped back.
Kira stood aside with a confused face, always feeling that the development of things was a bit unexpected.
"Forget it, I'll talk to you later."
Simmonds also realized that he had been delayed here for a long time. He pointed to the guarded door in the distance and said, "Let's go in first."
Soon, under the leadership of Simmonds, several people walked into the Dawn Society's mecha system laboratory.
"This is····"
When you walk into the command room, you will see three orange and white MSs.
"Ashaji, Julie, Mayila."
Simonds, who came to the isolation glass, put on a headset at some point and said, "You can start your performance."
"Yes!" The three of them replied in unison.
Bang-bang-bang-
The three machines started their performances in the test site.
Kira and others thought they could see something extraordinary, but it turned out... it was really something extraordinary.
"This..." Luo scratched his head, standing where he didn't know what to say. This action was the same as that of an old lady.
Kira watched the movements of the machine without saying a word, feeling inexplicably familiar.
"It's still the same." Cagalli had obviously expected it, and there was not much surprise in her words.
"That's twice as fast," Symonds replied.
"This level really needs improvement. No wonder you took the initiative to contact me."
After seeing the speed of the mecha's movement, the professor immediately understood the reason why Simmonds contacted him.
As for why Simonds knew that Luo could pilot a mobile suit, it was Simonds who originally assigned the mission to let the scrap recycling house pass.
Thinking of this, the professor's eyes couldn't help but glance at Luo, who looked a little demented.
Maybe this kid hasn’t noticed it yet...
"For Orb's ideals, we want to become stronger, Kira, we need your help."
Simmonds couldn't help but look at Kira and Luo, and said: "Of course, we are not free. If Mr. Luo has any requirements, you can make them. As long as we can do it, we will do our best to help you complete it."
"Really?" Luo Jure suddenly raised his head and looked at Simmonds after hearing this.
"Of course," Symonds replied.
"Then I want to upgrade the red heretic, can I?"
"Can."
Unlike Luo who was refreshing, Kira was distracted looking at the clumsy mobile suit in front of her.
Because the MS Helipolis developed by Dawn Society turned into a wreckage floating in the universe, and now that Orb has such a thing, will this bring disaster to this country? Who dares to say that these MS will not cause the same disaster?
But I don’t seem to have the reason or right to refuse————
Thinking of this, Kira couldn't help but look at his hands. How much blood would I need to stain to resurrect 'Kira Yamato'...
