Gundam EXARE

Finally, the uncomfortable silence was broken.

The two people who had entered the bathroom to clean themselves came out, and Mu was very surprised to see Ray and Lux.

"Are you really waiting here?"

"There's nothing for me to do anyway."

Rei shrugged. At this moment, he noticed the young pilot's gaze, which was filled with a very, very resentful expression, and he was gritting his teeth in anger.

Half a second later, Ray suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"Then let's go find the captain."

"Why do you talk like that?"

Mu had no idea what Rey was doing, but it didn't matter, as long as Rey knew it himself. He saw that the girl seemed to be choking with anger.

I almost said you are just pretending.

It seems I was right.

Rei knew that the other party recognized him by his voice. Before that, Jin Heretic watched for half a minute to detect Jin En turning around and waiting for the other party to surrender. Haha, just a joke.

He actually kicked the Golden Heretic, making the Detective Jinn spin more violently.

In short, some people seem to be vomiting so much that they want to kill people.

"laugh."

Rei smiled, he thought teasing others was fun, and teasing girls was even more fun.

PS: If I had a shadow clone, I could do two things at the same time. Sad.

Chapter 21: Not to be spread

The captain's reception room was crowded with people today. As the captain, it was impossible for Malu to ignore the matter of the prisoners, so he needed to find out the situation.

Although Rey had heard of this situation a long time ago, the Earth Army attacked the PLANT ship heading to Junius 7, and both sides suffered heavy losses. Only one reconnaissance engine was left to search for Lacus's lifeboat.

After learning about the situation, Mariu felt a little confused.

“To think such a thing would happen”

If Lux did not lie, then the Earth Army's reaction was too extreme. Can't they even mourn the dead?

Of course not. Rey on the side thought that Lux and her group came to Junius 7 not just to mourn the dead.

It's a time-consuming and laborious voyage all the way here, and what we must bring back from here must be video footage.

Thinking of this, Ray said:

"We can't let them take photos and videos back to PLANT to boost military morale."

As soon as he said that, everyone looked at Ray.

"The war has been going on for almost a year, and neither side has yet to determine the winner. To continue the fight, we need some incentive. The Earth Army is using neutron jammers and the energy crisis as a pretext, while ZAFT's pretext lies in Junius 7."

This is Rey's speculation. An action can be given different meanings. Language has this incredible power.

"That's why the Earth Army reacted that way. They couldn't let the tragedy of Junius 7 become public."

Rey seemed to be making excuses for the Earth Army's actions. After all, if the actions of Lacus and the others really had strategic significance, it would be reasonable for the Earth Army to attack.

But does this really make sense?

At this time, driver Jin En, whose hands were still handcuffed, felt a fire rushing from his heart to his brain.

They talk about strategy, but there are more important reasons here. How many people do you think Junius 7 killed?

According to Rei, the Earth Army cannot let the tragic plight of Junius 7 be made public. After all, as long as PLANT uses it as a new round of propaganda material, the Adjuster Country will definitely be more united.

Junius 7 has a handle feel, but:

"But ultimately, it was the Earth Army that destroyed Junius 7. The Earth Army themselves created evidence that cannot be made public."

Rei's words confused the pilot who was investigating Jin. Which side are you on?

Regardless of what others were thinking, Ray asked with a sarcastic attitude:

"Don't you think the criminals are afraid of others coming to check out the scene?"

He previously exposed PLANT's reason for returning to Junius 7, and now mocks the Earth Army's inconsistencies.

"Which side are you from?"

Mu quickly interrupted Lei and said, "Although it is said that obedient soldiers are good soldiers, soldiers are also human beings and cannot help but think."

If he said a few more words to the other party, he would lose the morale to fight ZAFT.

Rei shrugged and gave up on going deeper into the topic. Depending on the country's top leaders, the so-called defense of the country could be real or fake.

No matter how many words are used to cover it up, it cannot change the fact that the Earth Army declared war first and massacred first. Although it is useless to talk about these things now that the war has started.

One side has demonstrated its ability to launch nuclear strikes without limits, while the other side has demonstrated its technology to blockade energy. Add to this the various conflicts and blood feuds that have plagued us to date, and how can we win?

What else can I say next? I've asked all the questions I need to ask, and now I'm done with the unhappy ones.

The questioning ended here, and Ray took the two men to an empty room on the Archangel, while the remaining three Atlantic Federation soldiers considered what to do next.

What to do with these two? I couldn't just throw them off the Archangel to die, but I couldn't let them go either. Putting aside where to put them, wouldn't releasing them and reporting to ZAFT immediately let me know the Archangel was near Junius 7?

But it would be weird to just take it back to the Moon headquarters without putting it back, so Mu shared the same thoughts as Ray:

"I've found a big trouble."

You said to take her to the Earth Army. Kidnapping the Speaker's daughter is simply crazy.

To put it bluntly, this incident was even worse than the tragedy of Junius 7. Mu Lian had even thought of the propaganda content—the Earth Army was extremely evil and attacked the innocent Speaker's daughter who was mourning the dead.

Thinking more extremely, maybe some people in PLANT knew about this and wished the Earth Army would kill Lux. That would be a really powerful effect.

Regardless, handing Lux over to the Earth Army could have very disastrous consequences.

"But we don't have the conditions to send people back."

Mariu was right. Putting aside the importance of the Archangel, they were already on the enemy's pursuit list and were too busy to take care of themselves.

It would have been better if I hadn't picked up the girl. The problem is that if I think about it carefully after I picked her up, it would be too miserable for two young people to drift in the universe until they die.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time."

Mu gave a wry laugh. You know what the dumbest part was? The dumbest part was that the matter was already settled. With the Earth Army already attacking the ship, it didn't matter whether Lux was alive or not. As long as the PLANT could find clues and evidence, they could use it as a pretext.

At this time, Malu had to say that it was a good thing that PLANT was a country in the universe and its media could not reach the earth, otherwise a large amount of public opinion would have exploded all over the earth a few months ago.

Is this a good thing?

Mari herself couldn't explain it, and Bakilulu regained her spirits. She always looked calm, and it was impossible to tell whether there was any fluctuation in her heart.

With this calm expression, Baki Lulu talked about the most important thing at the moment:

"Anyway, let's go into Junius 7 first."

You can use the wreckage of Junius 7 to protect yourself and collect supplies nearby. The alert MS can also return to defense immediately. The only thing you have to consider is the issue of mental health.

The captain was discussing his next plan, while Ray, with two young girls, was floating along the passage.

There weren't many people on the Archangel, which was on an emergency voyage, so you could choose any room you wanted.

Rey turned around. Compared to Lux, who was not sure whether she was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, it was much easier to investigate Jinn's pilot. He could ask her more questions later, but now he should arrange the room first.

"This is your room. Someone will come to deliver three meals a day, like me."

"What are you going to do with us?"

The pilot who was investigating Jinn was still handcuffed, but he floated ahead of Lux.

Rei looked left and right, then smiled and asked a question:

"Why? Are you a couple?"

"what?"

From the reaction of the reconnaissance pilot Jin, one could tell what her current mood was. Ray's overly incomprehensible remarks had confused her once again.

"So it's not the case. It's okay. You can go in."

Rei shook his head as if in disappointment. The room next to him was a proper dormitory, not a room used to imprison anyone.

After being interrupted by him, the pilot who was investigating Jin En didn't know whether to ask again the question he originally wanted to ask.

She carefully went into the room to see if there were any traps, and then said:

"Ms. Lux, everything looks fine here."

"Thank you."

Lux smiled and thanked her, floating into the room without any suspicion.

In fact, Lei Yi still had a lot of questions to ask, but he felt it would be much more comfortable to ask while eating and drinking water.

"Then I'll come back next time to teach you how to use the phone on the ship. Goodbye."

After saying goodbye like this, there was a door separating the inside and the outside.

The rooms on the Archangel are neither spacious nor cramped, fully taking into account the mental health of the crew.

Finally, there were only two people here, and they were both adjusters who could speak without caring about the Earth Army.

"What's wrong with that person?"

The pilot who was investigating Jin couldn't help but ask this. She hated Rey very much at first because she recognized Rey's voice.

In fact, when she was spinning with the MS, she didn't feel like vomiting, but a sense of fear that she was helpless and her life was controlled by others. This feeling naturally turned into disgust later.

But this disgust has now mostly dissipated, because what Ray said there before was completely different from what he imagined.

No matter who you are, as long as you insult and ridicule the Earth Army we can be friends.

In fact, this was the first time that the young driver saw the Earth Army outside the battlefield. The Earth Army was scolding the Earth Army?

At this moment, Lux suddenly said this:

"Maybe he's not an Earth Army soldier."

"Eh?"

But the people on the Earth Army’s ship are not Earth Army?

"why?"

"Because he wasn't wearing a uniform."

"what"

That makes sense. It's not right to subconsciously think that people who are with the Earth Army are the Earth Army. If they are not the Earth Army, why would they be with people from the Earth Army?

While her companions were brainstorming, Lux put away her expression and moved her stiff cheeks. She was not a robot, and it would be tiring to keep the same expression all the time.

And they are safe now for the time being. There is both malice and kindness in the world, and the Archangel embodies this truth.

They were attacked by the Earth Army but were treated kindly by the Archangel. Things developed so quickly that it was tiring.

Lux blinked, and at this moment she remembered something. The little Harrow she had been carrying with her was missing.

A feeling of fatigue rose in Lux's heart, and she spoke:

"Then let's rest first."

Hearing this, the pilot who was investigating Jin En also felt fatigue all over his body.

Too many things happened today. Even if the bed in front of her was that of an Earth soldier, she wanted to lie down on it immediately.

PS: I slept a lot today and time passed by. I am the weekend sleep king.

PS: But I am still updating! I am still updating!

Chapter 22 Crossing Lines

According to the previous reconnaissance results, Junius 7 is safe, so the Archangel will retain resources here for a period of time.

The question is who will go? Ray and Mu are going to pilot the mobile suits to protect the Archangel, so doesn't that mean the rest of the crew will have to go?

But the crew of the Archangel is actually a ragtag group of people. They are all just survivors of the attack and are extremely short of manpower.

"Um"

Ray was thinking about this. Should he let everyone on the bridge go out without caring about their mission?
