PLANT aspect.
The reason for Jibril's escape.
ZAFT and the anti-LOGOS coalition began a large-scale manhunt on the earth.
At the same time, in order to prevent the troops stationed on the lunar base from jumping over the wall, ZAFT has strengthened its space combat capabilities.
PLANT Integrated Development Bureau members Lina Serra Mirei and Courtney Hieronymus, who obtained actual combat data, also returned to the universe one after another.

"...many cadres of the organization were captured on Paradise Island and are currently in custody. United and PLANT will jointly convene an international court to target these cadres who have been detained——"
Today is the third day after the Battle of Paradise Island.
The aftermath of the Battle of Paradise Island is still being broadcast around the world.
Although Jibril was not caught on the spot, almost all the remaining main members of LOGOS were arrested.
After this battle, LOGOS almost existed in name only.
Countries around the world have also begun to encroach on LOGOS in the name of justice.
The anchor's flat tone echoed in the room.
"Tsk tsk, LOGOS has completely become history now."
A somewhat familiar voice came.
After the man's voice fell, a woman's voice was heard and continued: "There is no way, this is what happens to the guy hiding in the darkness once the light shines on him."
"Who says no...are you talking about me?"
"What do you think? You've been making so many moves recently. If something goes wrong accidentally, you don't have the power of LOGOS to fight against the world."
"Do you think I'm comparable to those idiots from LOGOS?"
"Who knows."
"····"
The sound of the conversation between the two people buzzing in my mind was disturbing.
This irritating sound awakened a tearing pain in the body.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, a burst of light penetrated the dark world, and the bright light gradually awakened the nerves through the gaps.
The painful vitality revives the mind, and the world emerges from the gradually clear sight into the mind.

Crooked solar mirror panel.
A space station that cannot let in any light.
In the darkness, the dry ground was mottled with auburn, and the little remaining moisture had long since frozen.
The abandoned buildings still maintain almost the same appearance as when people lived here, but not even a moving shadow can be seen on the streets.
The air pressure inside the station has dropped, so there is no wind, and every scene is immersed in silence.
"There can't be ghosts -"
Overlooking the depressed artificial land, Dacosta couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This is Mendel, the L4 unmanned space station.
Before the war, it was an academic city specializing in genetic research, so there was nothing wrong with it.
Mendel was blocked when a virus crisis broke out in CE.68.
Until the war, although L4, which belonged to the neutral space, was also affected by the war, because the space station was no longer inhabited, it was protected from attack and remained in its original state.
After that, it seemed that it had been occupied by some outlaws, and even Dacosta and others used this space station to cover up their whereabouts.
But compared with then, Mendel is now more desolate. Not only is the air leaking out, but the temperature has also dropped significantly. They have to wear outboard work clothes to get in here, which is not as convenient as before.
"I hope it's not a waste of time—"
While muttering, Dacosta floated towards Mendel's interior.
If it weren't for the fact that the information was too important, he wouldn't want to come over even if you beat him to death.
I received encrypted information from the terminal a few days ago.
Said there might be something they need here, so——
The screen of the work boat was showing a map of the pre-war city, comparing it with the lifeless cityscape around it.
Dacosta followed the coordinates to one of the buildings.
It was once one of the units of the Institute of Genetic Analysis.
Several people got off the boat and entered the building.
Under the illumination of searchlights, everyone found that the house had been tidied up and it was surprisingly empty.
"Tsk...it's so miserable. It's so abandoned and there's nothing left."
After walking around, one of the team members said disappointedly.
But I heard D'Agosta murmuring: "It's weird...who did it?"
"A staff member of this unit! He must have been escaping..."
"But there was an accident at that time, so it should have been an emergency lockdown."
The team members immediately understood what he meant.
"That's right, they probably don't have time to destroy the research data."
"Even if it was raided by pirates, it was too clean."
After being thoroughly disinfected by X-rays, it is impossible that the computers in the space station still have files. It is conceivable that more than 80% of the data has been lightly lost, but it is not possible to not see even a written document or a scrap of paper.
The glass bottles suspected of being samples were either deliberately broken or taken away entirely, leaving only traces of where they had been placed.
"Dagosta."
One of the team members who went to search the small room in the back came back with something in his hand.
"There's nothing there, just this. Found it in the back of a drawer..."
Those were several handwritten notebooks.
Through the thick gloves of his work clothes, D'Acosta awkwardly opened the page.
He browsed it roughly, thinking that it should be a personal diary written by the researcher, but there was a line in it that caught his attention.
Dacosta's hand stopped, and a light flashed in his eyes - Durandal.
————
Inside the VIP lounge at the Gibraltar base.
Durandal sat quietly at the chess table and thought.
Opposite him, Mia, who plays Lux, was flipping through the lines she was going to say next.
Button——
There was a knock on the door.
Durandal and Mia looked over together.
"Excuse me, is Speaker Durandal here?"
Ray Za Barel's voice came from outside the door.
"come in."
Durandal nodded towards Mia as he spoke.
Mia put down her lines, stood up, walked to the door and opened the door.
"Thanks."
Ray Za Barel nodded to Mia and walked into the room.
"What happened?"
Durandal put down the chess pieces and asked softly towards Ray Za Barel who walked in.
"yes."
Ray Za Barel stood up and saluted, handed over the document in his arms and said: "According to the latest information from the Kapantalia base, Jibril fled to Orb. This is Kapantalia. Encrypted documents sent from the direction of the base."
Durandal frowned slightly when he heard this, took the file and lowered his head to read through it.
Mia also stood aside with a surprised look on her face after hearing this.
Soon, Durandal put the file on the table and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "That guy actually went to Orb, but think about it, Orb has a mass accelerator."
"speaker?"
Ray Za Barel showed a doubtful expression at the right time.
"Things are getting complicated."
As Durandal spoke, there was an expression of embarrassment and helplessness on his face.
See Mia and Ray Za Barel looking confused.
Durandal explained: "Orb recovered from the last war with the help of the Atlantic Federation, and now Jibril has gone to Orb..."
"Does the Speaker mean that Orb would still choose to side with Jibril in this situation?"
Ray Za Barel said in surprise.
"That's probably right."
Durandal said sadly: "I thought everything was over, but I didn't expect that there was an accident on Orb's side."
"Speaking of which, Orb seems to be the only force on Earth that refuses to fight against LOGOS." Ray Za Barel added.
"I thought they just chose to stand by and watch because of LOGOS's help to them..."
Durandal felt a little sad.
Ray Za Barel didn't answer when he heard this, he just stood there quietly.
Mia's eyes flickered.
