Arriving from Space

[Sakurai Honoka]

Sakurai took the cable up to Vent Savior's cockpit. She couldn't get Shinya out of her mind. She wanted to cry, but she has been crying through out the day. She leaned forward to the console and crossed her arms. She rested her head on her arms and started thinking.

[Mwu la Flaga]

Mwu looked at Murrue. "Let's hope he made it out there alive. I'm sure he did. After all, he is the Desert Tiger," he said. Mwu was trying to cheer up Murrue.

[Murrue Ramius]

Murrue smiled. "Thank you Mwu, I know I worry a lot. I worry more about you especially," replied Murrue.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira continues to monitor the progress of the re-supplying of the ship. He made sure there was enough fuel to make it to Diocuia.

[Sakura Hatashi]

After seeing Sakurai leave, Sakura decided to return to Minerva's bridge to monitor the ship's status. She was going to wait until the ship's re-supplying was at least 75% before taking a break. She could use the rest.

[Athrun Zala]

Athrun was still thinking then he remembered the Forbidden and Raider Gundams since their were used in the first war and he went to Kira to ask him about those two mobile suits "Kira did that captain tell you anything about the Forbidden and Raider being in his team since the last time I saw him his team had the Strike, and its upgraded Strike Noir, along with that new mobile suit called Astraea."

[Kira Yamato]

Kira looked at Athrun as he approached him. "Are you ok Athrun? You seem to be a bit out of it. I wasn't on ORB. The Minerva crew and I arrived here from space. We lost Shinya during our encounter with the Zala Foundation." he replied. Kira looked at Cagalli. "Cagalli, did you notice anything unusual when Eric Takemaru took over Orb?" he asked.

[Cagalli Yula Athha]

Cagalli looked at Kira and Athrun. She thought about what Athrun had said earlier about the mobile suits. "I didn't really think about the mobile suits at the time. I assumed Eric was dispatched with a new team of mobile suits. Besides, the man on the screen was Eric Takemaru. Only he knew about our defenses. He has family in Orb." she added.

[Athrun Zala]

"Sorry Kira I just have a lot on my mind at the moment." Athrun replied to Kira and he listened what Cagalli was saying as he looked at the Minerva.

[Kira Yamato]

Kira gave a pat on the pack to Athrun and smile. "Usually you tell me not to think too much, but this time I'm asking you not to think too much about this." he said. Kira was still thinking about the pilot Athrun had mention. Kira's senses wasn't deceiving him. Athrun did encounter Rau le Creuset.

[Sakura Hatashi]

Sakura continued monitoring the progress of the ship's resupplying. It was reaching 70%. She looks at the console and continues to watch.

[Mwu la Flaga]

Mwu chuckled a bit. "I know, I make you worry a lot and I'm sorry." he replied. He looked at Murrue and told her he will never leave her side.

[Murrue Ramius]

No matter how many times, Mwu would say that. Murrue's heart would almost seem like it skipped a beat. She could remember the times when she thought Mwu died. She could always replay that moment when Mwu sacrificed himself when Strike went in front of the loengrin cannon from the Dominion. She was happy that Mwu was with her.

[Sakurai Honoka]

Sakurai's head was down between her arms. She was still handling the loss of Shinya with difficulty. She looked up and said, "I need to focus more or I won't be able to concentrate in battle," she said.

[Cagalli Yula Athha]

Cagalli could see her brother standing in front of the console. He seems out of it. Cagalli gave a gentle nudge to Kira. "Hey there, are you ok? I can tell when something is on your mind, so it's no use trying to cover it. You and Athrun are the same." she said.
