Patrick Sala——
Former member of the Twelve Committee of the Supreme Council and Chairman of the ZAFT Defense Council.
Later, through the election, he replaced Sigel Klein as Speaker and became the President of the Supreme Council.
'Make a contract in the name of God, lower the hammer of justice to natural people, win the real freedom of the adjuster, and lead the adjuster to a new life——'
Based on this concept and belief, Speaker Sara asked the MS R&D Design Bureau to create the Divine Gundam, Covenant Gundam, Justice Gundam, Freedom Gundam, and Rebirth Gundam——
In the final battle, the Battle of Yakinduwe, Genesis was used to suppress the entire Earth coalition.
Of course, if everything ends here——
He may continue to be a hero, after all, he and Sigel Klein once gave Plant enough voice.
Unfortunately, Speaker Patrick Sala's last crazy move caused him to lose his final authority as Speaker and he died in the control room of Genesis.
A regulated breeze blew under the rays of the setting sun.
Four men in casual clothes stood quietly in front of the tombstone, silently watching the actions of the man in front of them.
Aslan placed the flowers in front of the tombstone and looked at the name engraved on the tombstone. The image of Yakinduwe's control room unconsciously rang in his mind——
The look in his eyes that wanted to destroy the world until the end was something Aslan would never forget.
Sometimes he really couldn't understand whether his father was really fighting for the Adjusters or simply for revenge——
"Actively exercising the right of self-defense...ZAFT is really going to take action..."
Aslan murmured bitterly: "Why must we come to this step..."
Yitzhak also looked angry when he heard this, as if someone had touched a sore spot.
"What can be done about this? People have already used nuclear bombs to hit them, so we can't just do nothing..."
After Diaka was silent for a moment, he then said: "During the first wave of attacks, we also went out to fight against them. Those people... they wanted to destroy the colony!"
Although Nigel didn't say much, the look on his face was a little gloomy.
Last time, if it weren't for the existence of the neutron disperser, the plant colony would have disappeared into the universe.
Aslan looked up at the sky and sighed.
Why does this kind of thing always happen over and over again?
His eyes were full of puzzlement and confusion, and he said: "Why do we continue to advance step by step towards the abyss of war, knowing that it will inevitably lead to more sacrifices? Is what we can exchange for the death of our compatriots really worth more than their death? ——”
"If death will eventually take away everything in life, then what can transcend death and give my life eternal meaning-"
Noel's voice sounded slowly.
Aslan and others looked over subconsciously, their eyes full of doubts.
"This is a sentence said by a certain philosopher, and it is also a sentence I only saw recently."
As Noel spoke, he turned to look at the sunset: "Everyone has something deep in his heart that only he can understand, and that thing is also the key to letting him transcend death."
"To time and the world, our lives are like candles swaying in the wind and one day being swallowed up by darkness."
"Death is inevitable and the end. It is the final destination of human beings and all life."
"So death is not terrible, what is terrible is a meaningless life——"
Noel said inexplicably, and Aslan and others listened inexplicably.
"So if you ask what is worth their lives to obtain, there will never be an accurate answer to this question. People often regard the satisfaction of desires as happiness, so when you obtain some kind of 'happiness' in war, when most people People can gain 'happiness' in war, and then the emergence of war becomes inevitable."
What is war, the answer is death.
But you have to ask what can be gained by war——
There are too many answers.
Dignity, money, rights, dreams, obligations——
When most people can find something they want in war, and can only get something they want in war.
War will also change from a nightmare that countless people talk about to a holy place that everyone flocks to.
"Is this how you view war?"
A strange look flashed on Aslan's face after hearing this.
"Even if the sun sets at dusk, I will let the world be covered with my own glow - this is my view on life."
Noel smiled faintly, his expression sincere and without any falsehood.
Aslan froze on the spot, and even Yitzhak and Diaka looked at Noel in surprise.
"This sentence just came to my mind. Isn't it very cool?"
Noel asked rhetorically.
"······"
Yitzhak and Diaka both rolled their eyes after hearing this.
"So, what about you, Aslan, what are you going to do next?"
Noel ignored the two second-stroke pencils. He was more concerned about Aslan's thoughts.
Although many things have not changed much so far, at least the big things that should happen have happened.
But now he can no longer guarantee that the future will develop as he knows.
So will Aslan make the same choice as before——
"I--"
Aslan was silent. He didn't know what he could do in this situation, or even what he was doing.
He came all the way to the colony but found nothing, and it failed to prevent ZAFT from sending troops.
If he returns to Orb now, he will just become a spy to find out Speaker Durandal's personal thoughts.
After a while.
"It's so annoying to be hesitant. Just tell me what you want to do! In this situation, what else do you have to hesitate?"
In Yitzhak's question, Aslan felt more accusations, and he forced himself to look away.
"What is Orb going to do?"
Yitzhak still refused to give up and continued to press.
"Yitzhak, Aslan, he——"
"Nigel, shut up! Don't you know what's happening now?"
Before Nigel could finish speaking, Yitzhak interrupted Nigel with an angry shout:.
"Orb...don't know yet."
Aslan looked bitter.
Unat Emma Seran is pro-Atlantic Federation, so maybe Orb will give up the neutral stance that he has implemented in the past.
Next, you have to rely on your own efforts - no, Cagalli's efforts, because Aslan can't even participate in cabinet meetings.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that none of the things he wants to do or agree with have made progress——
That anxiety and exhaustion struck Aslan again.
Seeing Aslan's struggling expression, Yitzhak said with anger and helplessness in his voice: "Come back, Aslan."
Yitzhak's sudden words broke Aslan out of his thoughts.
When Aslan turned his head, he saw that Yitzhak still had an angry look on his face, but his eyes were extremely serious: "——Things may not be that easy, but I will try my best to find a way. So, come back. , come back to the colony.”
"Yitzhak..."
Aslan was deeply moved by Yitzhak's words.
Nigel and Diaka were also startled by Yitzhak's words, but after a brief moment of astonishment, both of them chuckled.
Noel was not too surprised by this.
Although Yitzhak always had an attitude of not taking Aslan seriously every time he met, Noel knew very well that there was an extremely deep bond of trust between Aslan and Yitzhak.
"But……"
Aslan was just about to say something when Cagalli's cheek flashed before his eyes, causing him to hesitate.
"——Adults start wars based on their motives, and finally let young people die; if those misguided young people are accused of guilt and punished, who will be responsible for the future of the colony in the future?"
"Because these people have had painful experiences, I hope that they who know the pain will build a peaceful future..."
This was what Speaker Durandal said in defense at the military court.
It was also a passage that moved Yitzhak deeply.
Because I know the pain, I cherish it more.
Yitzhak saw Speaker Durandal's determination during that trial.
He really wants to make the world peaceful——
——Everyone has this intention, and it will definitely save the world.
Aslan also recalled the Speaker's words.
People who are also worried about the future may have their voices silenced by mainstream voices, but if they become silent because of this frustration, the world will surely follow the same path of destruction.
——I hope that people with similar ideas can stand on the same front.
So Yitzhak and Diego re-contributed their efforts.
I saw Yitzhak saying seriously to Aslan: "Although this is the only thing we can do, it is always a contribution, not only for the colony, but also for the friends who have died..."
"Yitzhak..."
Aslan looked at Yitzhak's expression and suddenly realized that he had the same look on his face.
In fact, the contribution he can make is not much. No matter how good his marksmanship or driving skills are, they are of no use in the environment he is in now.
Yitzhak stared at Aslan with sharp eyes.
"So, do something for me too! Do you want to waste your talents in vain?"
There was regret in those ice-blue eyes, and as his straight and firm gaze came, Aslan's long-lost heart was deeply touched.
