Perhaps, this was the first time the crew of the Polaris witnessed the collapse of an artificial colonial satellite.
Although it was only a scene observed from a distance with the help of optical radar, the scene of the colonial satellite that allowed millions or even tens of millions of people to settle down collapsed and turned into countless, meaningless cosmic garbage was really shocking.
soul.
"It actually... collapsed?!"
Feng Yun looked at the scene in front of him with a solemn expression.
This is the L3 space. According to the data, the colonial satellite in this space is the neutral satellite Heliopolis from Orb.
A neutral satellite that had not participated in any war act collapsed like this?
"Carefully scan the surrounding energy residue reactions. In addition, the Polaris does not have to be close to Heliopolis."
As soon as He Ming spoke, Feng Yun couldn't help but turn around and look at He Ming.
"Colonel. We..."
"No. Captain, you should understand."
He Ming shook his head and denied Feng Yun's thoughts.
The Polar Star is still in a silent stealth state. If it approaches the area of ​​Heliopolis like this, it may be seen by the ships rushing to rescue it.
By then, no matter how He Ming and Feng Yun explain it, they may not be able to explain the suspicions involved.
"Captain! The radar detected several spacecraft approaching Heliopolis at high speed. According to the identification signals, they were cargo spacecrafts from Orb and the Equatorial Alliance, and it was monitored that these cargo spacecrafts were sending out emergency distress signals.
.”
After hearing the CIC report, Feng Yun's expression finally softened a little.
"Colonel He. Next, is the pursuit of the murderer who caused Heliopolis to collapse?"
After coming back to his senses, Feng Yun thought for a moment and guessed what He Ming would do next.
"Yeah. But, it's not just about chasing the murderer."
He Ming looked at CIC.
The latter has completed scanning the energy and radiation residues in the surrounding space.
"Report! Based on the analysis of the scanning results of various types of radars of this ship on the surrounding space, we can be sure that a battle occurred in this space ten to twenty hours ago, and according to the analysis results, participating
It is very likely that the Nazca battleships and Lorathia-class ships from ZAFT were sent to this battle, as well as an unknown battleship that has not been registered in the database."
"Unidentified battleship?!"
Feng Yun's eyes flashed, and he became more and more certain that He Ming was aware of the existence of this unknown warship.
"Where are you going? Have you analyzed it?"
"Yes! According to the analysis of the residual amount of energy and radiation, the warring parties should be heading towards Artemis, the satellite fortress deployed by the Eurasian Federation in the nearby space."
"I understand! Thank you for your hard work. Continue to monitor the surrounding space and keep this ship in a silent state!"
"yes!"
After giving the latest order, Feng Yun looked at He Ming.
"Catch up! Captain, haven't you been saying that the Polaris lacks an official maiden voyage? In terms of the scene, support the satellite fortress Artemis, which is being attacked by the ZAFT fleet, and
The result of repelling the ZAFT fleet is indeed qualified as the result of the Polar Star's maiden voyage."
"Okay! Polaris, target, Eurasian Federation satellite fortress - Artemis. Full speed ahead!"
After a pause, Feng Yun added.
"Send an urgent message to the Heavenly Pillar and ask the Heavenly Pillar to inform Orb that Heliopolis has collapsed under ZAFT's attack."
"yes!"
——————
Time goes back not long ago.
From the battle of Heliopolis, he finally escaped the pursuit of the ZAFT fleet led by Rau Lu Cruze and stayed away from the space area where Heliopolis is located on the Archangel.
, it is a cloud of sorrow.
The new captain Mariu Ramias, who was pushed out of the ship, had a solemn expression on his face and sat in silence on his chair.
And Natal Bakkilu, who is also rushing to get on the shelves, but seems to be able to cope with it more easily than Mariu Ramias, is also thinking about the next way out.
Facing the two new chief and deputy officers of the Archangel in front of him, Mu La Flagg, who had lost his fleet and was forced to stay on the Archangel, twitched his lips and tried to liven up the atmosphere.
"I said, there is no need for you two officers to be so distressed? Haven't we already gotten rid of those ZAFTs?"
"Major Mu. I don't think the ZAFT fleet will give up chasing our ship. Especially after the opponent has snatched four of our MSs, they will not let go of the opportunity to pursue us!"
Natal Baqilulu raised her head and said seriously.
Although she had just arrived at Heliopolis under the order of the headquarters not long ago, preparing to board the Archangel and become one of its crew members, she saw that the young man was driving, which was also on the Archangel.
After the lethality of the only mobile suit that was preserved and not robbed, Natal Bakirulu knew that the commander of the ZAFT fleet would definitely catch up.
As long as the opponent is not stupid, he will definitely be obsessed with destroying the Archangel, or the mobile suit that the boy called Gundam.
"Ah hahaha! Haven't we already beaten them away?"
Mu Gan laughed a few times and said something that even he himself lacked confidence in.
In fact, Mu was more aware of the horror of the man biting behind him than Mariu Ramias and Natal Bakirulu.
Law Lu Cruze.
The memories that were once sealed in the depths of my mind have quietly awakened with the encounter with that man again.
Mu understood that the current Archangel was like a canary struggling in a cage, and could be wiped out at any time by a man named Law Lu Cruze.
"No. We still have a way, don't we?"
Malu Lamias, who had been silent for a long time, sighed, raised his head, and looked at Natal Bakilulu and Mu.
"Instead of choosing to take great risks and go directly to the moon, we can also choose to go to Artemis. Perhaps, there, we can get some supplies or rest."
Mariu Ramias spoke his thoughts slowly.
"Perhaps, we can entrust the civilians on the ship to Artemis there, and let Artemis help evacuate the civilians to the earth, or other colonial satellites."
After finishing speaking, Malu Lamias remained as calm as possible and looked at the two people in front of him.
"What do you think?"
Natal Bakilulu pondered for a moment, and after confirming that she could find no other way, she nodded.
As for Mu, to be honest, he admitted that this was the only solution at hand.
Mariu Lamias breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, let's go to Artemis next."
