What the hell's going on here?!
There have been times when the spawn point at the last minute,
but never inside the colony!
The organizers say they can outwit any MPs lying in wait, but I don't know, man!
What's wrong? Why did you stop?
It's okay, it's nothing.
What's going on today, anyway?!
Did they spread Minovsky particles on the bulkheads as well?
They've found Shuji's hideout!
The MPs will find out by tomorrow!
I gotta get hold of the space glider before that happens...
and help Shuji escape!
Machu... are you in love with Shu-chan?
Those MP officers seem unusually busy today.
Oh, yes... They got hold of Clan-Bat intel, supposedly.
"Clan-Bat?!"
It's an illegal battle sport using mobile suits.
You didn't know that, Chief?
Hmm...
We gratefully appreciate you for arranging
to meet with us like this, President Pergamino.
Things never went this smoothly under the previous Rank administration.
Oh no, I am humbled...
It is my privilege to host Her Excellency Kycilia.
Enough of these pleasantries.
Let's get to the point.
Yomagn'tho Construction Project Plan Overview
On behalf of the Audit Bureau,
we express our support of the Solar Ray concept,
which aims to restore Earth's devastated environment.
However, we wish to be included in the inspection team
overseeing the construction process.
Ah, he means that if you allow us to become investors,
we'd love to share some of the responsibility as well.
Of course. I appreciate your reassurance.
A Zabi woman bowing down was such a sight to see, wasn't it?
Zeon was supposed to have a monopoly over space,
but unfortunately, they are struggling financially.
Perhaps they're trying to atone for the colony drop?
I have no idea what they might be thinking.
Initiating a conflict with the Federation seemed like an extremely rash decision...
...but what could they possibly hope to achieve this time by assembling
a budget large enough to bankrupt an entire nation?
Flight training? What a waste of money.
They are cracking down on Clan Battle.
On Clan Battle, you say? Why would they do that?
You do know we're making a ton of money managing it, right?
Why the commotion?
The police are tasked with upholding order,
yet disorder prevails?
It's disturbing, certainly.
I'll have Ensign Xavier hurry up and escort you.
Hmm... something about this place doesn't smell right...
MACHU'S REBELLION
Machu's Rebellion.
How can MPs be up to all that nonsense
when Lady Kycilia is about to make her visit?!
Where did the Commander go?
Oh...? What's with the phone reception...?!
Why did they change the spawn point?
We leaked information to lure the MPs out of the colony,
ensuring we'd be the only ones left.
Why did those organizers have to mess up our plans?
Is there a problem?
They've dispersed Minovsky particles all over the colony...
...so we won't be able to use standard avionics.
Whatever.
I love the smell of these Minovsky particles.
So it's you again today, Nyaan.
It's fun, so I don't mind.
Shu-chan...
...the three of us will head to Earth as soon as we meet up with Machu.
TEENAGE IMMIGRANT, 17 IMPLICATED IN ALLEGED SMUGGLING OPERATION
I can't stay in this colony, either.
Shu-chan... no matter what happens in today's battle, please don't leave me.
I don't get it, but okay.
Stay with me all today!
Why in the world would the Colony Corporation's
air conditioning unit be flying?!
It's... gotta be a mobile armor!
That's against the rules, no?
Report it to the organizers!
- Don't. - Huh?
Go pack up instead.
Huh? But, why?
Oh? Where's Annqi?
It's open!
THAT'S THEFT!
I mean, it's money that Shuji and I earned.
I'm truly grateful to have the chance to spend it.
I see...
So that's how it is.
By the way, would you mind telling me a little bit about
the pilot of Gundam GQuuuuuuX?
A young lady.
Both of them?
The person in the GQuuuuuuX right now... is our courier, right?
Why would it go where there's lots of people? So strange...
Damn you, Gundams!
We don't have any time for you!
Deux! Get rid of them!
I wonder if I can shine with the Kira-Kira today.
What's up with that thing?!
Are they really doing Clan Battle...
...with all these people here?!
Shu-chan!
Explosion detected within the colony!
What is that?
It's a machine that doesn't exist in our database.
Prepare for Level 1 battle stations!
Intercept the unidentified mobile suit!
I used to think you were pretty awesome, Annqi...
Then be more like the smart woman that you are.
Return everything you put in your bag.
I'm gonna protect Shuji.
You don't have the guts to shoot me.
Getting your hands dirty like this
and fighting in your mobile suit are two completely different things.
So you're throwing everything away over a man... how pathetic!
You're the one, Annqi... who told me to clear my mind and just go for it!
I hate grown-ups!
Stupid girl.
You know you can't go back now.
- Hurry! Hurry! - Hurry! Hurry!
There are four machines. Secure all of them!
Order those who ventured outside to return!
We'll protect the colony from those damned Junk traders!
I can't make it to where we're supposed to meet up with Machu!
Shu-chan!
Neither Shu-chan nor I can keep running away.
Machu, are you in love with Shu-chan?
What about you, Nyaan, what do you think about him?
No, something is wrong.
"The rose is awakening..." the Gundam is saying.
Shu-chan!
Let's get out of here, just you and me!
Leave Machu and the Gundam behind us...
...and let's get out of this place!
Shu-chan!
Let's get out of here, you and me!
Where to?
I don't know.
I don't know, but let's go somewhere we can be free!
What is this...?
Shu-chan!
Minovsky particle phase reversal detected!
That parameter means...
...this is a Zeknova!
Nonsense... how could it possibly take place here, of all places?
It'll punch a hole right through the colony!
The Kira-... argh...
What's wrong?! Deux!
Argh... the Kira-Kira... argh...
Wha..! What in the world is going on?!
Oh...
Damn those Federation terrorists...!
Where is the Side 6 security?!
What is... this sound...?
The "sound?" I don't hear anything, Ma'am...
Please follow me to the roof, Lady Kycilia.
That radiance...
Is it the same light we witnessed at Solomon?
Ah...
Wait, Shu-chan!
...I can see the other side...
Shu-chan!
What happened, Deux?
Get a hold of yourself, Deux!
We're just one step away from Kycilia!
Dammit, and this is why I can't depend on the Murasame Lab!
The Kira-Kira is... fading away!
What are they doing?
What's going on?! Hey!
Can you handle them, Deux? Deux?
We won't let you!
Prepare Mega Particle Cannon!
Fire!
- It's an I-Field! - Dammit!
TRAINS STOPPED RUNNING. NO PHONE RECEPTION, EITHER.
What's going on out there?
What about the Clan Battle?
The GQuuuuuuX? What is it doing here?
Where's Nyaan?
Where's Shuji?
Don't move!
Put down everything you're carrying, slowly!
Commencing verification!
Amate Yuzuriha. She's a student.
Good. Move away from the mobile suit.
Don't you be resisting now, you terrorist!
N-No! I'm not a terrorist!
Don't move!
What the...?!
Thank you, GQuuuuuuX!
Damn...!
It must be radio interference caused by the Minovsky particles, Ma'am!
Lady Kycilia!
A Federation Psycommu weapon?
We'll knock them out!
We'll tear them away from Lady Kycilia!
Dammit!
A mobile suit, directly above!
Oh? Is that Xavier?
Lady Kycilia!
Ugh... Who's that?!
That's the Gray Phantom!
Watch out! There's an all-range attack coming!
Give back the Kira-Kira!
Are you an artificial Newtype?
Because we've evolved by our own will...
...we are the ones who are truly worthy of being Newtypes!
So that's...
...the Commander's Kikeroga. He can do Mav maneuvers all by himself.
Ensign...
...please take care of Lady Kycilia.
Where did the Gundam go? Where's Shuji...?
Shuji!
Without you, Shuji, we can't...
...we can't experience the Kira-Kira together!
Calm your fury, pilot of the GQuuuuuuX.
You still have things left to do, Miss.
The two terrorist mobile suits that infiltrated the colony
have been shot down by a Zeon mobile armor.
The situation is now under control, and assessment of the damage is underway.
In addition, authorities suspect that a group
involved in illegal gambling activities, known as Clan Battle,
may be connected to this act of terrorism.
Reports indicate the suspects fled the scene using their mobile suits.
Police authorities are actively searching for their whereabouts.
Due to the severity of the incident...
Isn't that Amate?
No way...!
We have information that the suspect's father is a Diplomat...
...and the mother is an employee of the Audit Bureau...
...so we have requested confirmation from the Side 6 government.
Finally found you.
Aren't you the pilot of the GQuuuuuuX?
Wait a sec... I won't do you any harm.
You have no idea of the talent you possess.
Are you telling me to come to Zeon...?
You figured it out quickly.
A person of great esteem wants to meet you.
Welcome to Zeon.
You've saved my life today, Challia Bull.
I must thank you.
Your Excellency is too kind.
This concludes your mission at Side 6.
However, I'll need you to report to your next assignment immediately.
Yes, Ma'am!
Looks like Her Excellency's Chivvay has arrived.
Lady Kycilia...
...was it a wise move...
...for me to leave the Sodon?
With today's work,
we've proven that Challia Bull is not a spy for the Supreme Commander.
You no longer need to be aboard the Sodon, Ensign.
This girl...?
If you have family or close friends, we can bring them to Zeon as well.
...No thank you. I have no one.
We detected a Zeknova reaction during the combat today...
...even though at much smaller scale.
Hmm...
And the Red Gundam has gone missing yet again?
Not only that, Lady Kycilia nearly lost her life today.
Absolutely.
At this critical juncture, Zeon teeters on a precarious balance.
Any disruption to this balance could swiftly plunge us into a state of war.
To preserve the peace we've finally achieved...
We must eliminate both Supreme Commander Gihren
and Her Excellency Kycilia at the same time.
We have breaking news...
Military police authorities have launched
a public investigation into the suspect Amate Yuzuriha.
To repeat...
Military police authorities have launched
a public investigation into the suspect Amate Yuzuriha.

Universal Century 0079.
The Earth Federation Forces carry out a drop operation
using Space Fortress Solomon.
Does Zeon still have enough fighting strength left to stop it?
Next episode: “Falling on the Moon.”
Wait! Don't I get a turn?!
