Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 15 Is this fate?
Nuttle knew that ZAFT had recently carried out a very large espionage sweep.

He even knew 90.00% of the inside story and information about this event, because he was involved in formulating this plan.

So he knew very well how many people had been cleared out in this espionage sweep.

It can be said that this espionage sweep has wiped out almost all spies in high positions to instigate rebellion.

And this is one of the reasons why ZAFT can win the offensive and defensive battle of L5 Rising Stars.

The above is not the key.

The key is the conclusion and feasibility of the inferences related to Ino Kamal.

Before, he couldn't understand why Ino chose to become a mobile suit pilot despite being ranked first in the command system, but now he understood.

Assume that Ino Kamal is an independent spy who has lost contact with his previous family.

So how can he protect himself when he senses a crisis?

Thinking from another perspective, there are only two answers.

Either escape from PLANT or surrender to ZAFT.

The former is almost impossible. Once a spy is targeted, it is impossible to escape surveillance.

So he had only one way - to surrender and protect himself.

As a student, the best way for him is to completely cut off the possibility of entering the upper echelons of the military, because only in this way can the upper echelons not insist on his life.

So leaving the chain of command is a must.

But if you reduce the necessity of your own death, how can you increase your probability of survival?
A valuable spy will naturally sell out information. This is how several spies survived.

But Ino Kamal is just an independent spy, and he does not have any intelligence sources.

In this situation, the only thing he can do is his own life.

So his best choice is to join the MS driving system and become ZAFT's 'cannon fodder', preferably the kind of powerful cannon fodder——

Of course, after all the above is achieved, his death still cannot be determined by himself, but this is all the person involved can do.

After combined analysis, although I don't want to believe it, the fact has been determined - the possibility that Ino Kamal is a spy is infinitely close to [-]%.

This was enough to sentence him to death.

"I know what to do."

Chief of Staff Nuttle suppressed the sadness in his heart and smiled bitterly.

Ino Kamal, the successor whom he had pinned his future on, turned out to be a spy... This is such an ironic and ridiculous thing.

"I accepted his 'surrender' and I was willing to give him a chance. He also has the value of continuing to live."

However, at this moment, Patrick Sala suddenly gave the opposite opinion.

"Chance?"

Nuttle's thoughts were a little confused, making him unsure of what Patrick meant.

Patrick LS saw Nuttel's doubts and continued to explain: "I actually don't mind that there are spies inside ZAFT."

Although it is very helpless, the reality is that ZAFT’s internal spies can never be cleansed.

PLANT's population structure and establishment method are destined to lurk spies within ZAFT that cannot be eliminated.

In other words, once humans can communicate through words, the human group will not be able to isolate the existence of so-called spies and spies.

During the Third World War, spies could not be eliminated even if they had absolute concepts of motherland, race, and religion.

Let alone this time period.

So the only thing they can do is to keep the top floors clean.

"Tell me what's the point of all this?"

Chief of Staff Nuttle had given up thinking at this time.

"I know what Ino Kamal means to you, and I don't want there to be an irreparable gap between us."

Patrick Sala thinks highly of Nuttle.

If it had been anyone else, he would not have chosen assassination, let alone disguise, but would have killed directly. He was nothing more than a genius who was number one in the command system.

But because of Nuttel's existence, he was worried.

Chief of Staff Nuttle knows too much. He is the core member of the entire Sara faction. The Sara faction needs his strength, and PLANT also needs his strength.So after Ino Kamal made his choice, he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to hunt.

Of course, when Enoch Kamal does not have absolute trust, Enoch Kamal will always be an elite fighting on the front line.

As for whether the other party would defect and return to the United Earth during the battle, Patrick subconsciously looked at Cruze beside him.

"Thank you, what do I need to do?"

Chief of Staff Nuttle's thoughts were temporarily confused.

"You don't have to do anything. You are still Chief of Staff Natl Hawke, you are still the head of ZAFT Staff Department, and Ino Kamal is still an MS student belonging to ZAFT Military Academy."

Patrick Sala continued: "I hope you understand that I am confessing all this to you not to ask you to do anything, but to ask you to do nothing."

"I see."

Chief of Staff Nuttle heard what Patrick Sala was saying.

"Thank you for your understanding."

Patrick LS nodded and said.

"Then... people who know his identity, what will be the next fate of Ino Kamal?"

Chief of Staff Nuttle asked while suppressing the bitterness in his heart.

Listening to Nuttle's inquiry, Patrick Sala raised his eyebrows and looked over. After looking at each other for a while, he said: "Currently, there are only three of us who know the identity."

Then, he looked at Cruze aside: "So, I will leave Ino Kamal to you."

"My subordinate understands."

Kruse had this kind of speculation when he stepped into this room today, so he was not too surprised.

"Team Cruze, it's indeed a good choice."

Nuttall probably guessed the meaning of Patrick's arrangement, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Patrick valued Cruze very much, and it was undoubtedly the best result for Cruze to conduct surveillance.

Of course, if Ino Kamal is still evil and wants to return to Earth to unite, then——

"I have reviewed Ino Kamal's files. Putting aside his identity as a spy, he is indeed an excellent person."

Cruze's words were not a lie.

Of course, there is nothing to lie about. After all, this is the fact. In less than two months, he started from scratch and became No. 13 in the overall MS driving department ranking in the school.

Coupled with the fact that its original command system ranked first overall, if this file and results cannot be said to be excellent, then there are not many outstanding people in ZAFT.

After about 5 minutes.

Kruse and Chief of Staff Nuttle left the Defense Office.

When he was about to get into the car downstairs, Nuttle stopped Kruse: "I'll have to trouble you next, Captain Cruze."

"All my actions will have the ultimate goal of PLANT's victory."

Kruse did not give a direct answer, but also responded to Nuttle's uneasiness from the side.

"Thank you."

After receiving the reply, Chief of Staff Nuttle got into his own car and left.

"...What a lucky guy."

Kruse recalled Ino Kamal's path of survival and couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the other party's luck.

If not for Chief of Staff Nuttle's children and wife all died in Junius.

Had it not been for Chief of Staff Nuttle who saw the future in Ino Kamal.

If Ino Kamal hadn't chosen to switch majors immediately and had excellent MS driving talent...
Many unimaginable what-ifs contributed to the rebirth of a spy who was originally dead.

"So this is the fate you talk about, Gilbert——"

Kruse suddenly thought of the words that his best friend talked about every day.

But if all this is really the so-called fate, it would be too scary.
