Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 39 Vesalius

"What did you say!"

Inside the Vesalius.

Yitzhak looked at Aslan and Michelle who walked into the lounge in disbelief: "Ino MIA?!"

MIA, missing in action.

In this lonely and cold universe, missing in battle is equivalent to being killed in action.

"When the Strike Gundam attacked me, Ino was hit in the front by the battleship sword in order to save me."

Michelle clenched her fists, lowered her head, and squeezed out an answer from her mouth.

At this time, the guilt in his heart almost consumed him.

If you listen to Ino and don't interfere with him, everyone will have a good ending even if they fail in the end.

But it was because of his indiscriminate intervention that the lineup attacking the Archangel was disrupted, and Olney, Akshi and the others lost their lives as a result.

Even in the end, Ino was attacked by Gundam to save himself...
"sorry!"

Michelle lowered her head and said again with red eyes.

boom!
"Is this something you can just say sorry for?"

Yitzhak punched Michelle on the head, pulled Michelle's collar and roared.

"Itzhak!"

"Yitzhak, don't do this."

Upon seeing this, Nicol and Diego quickly went to break up the fight.

Michelle didn't answer, but just tilted her head and didn't dare to look directly into Yitzhak's eyes.

"You guy..."

Yitzhak looked at Michelle's useless look and wanted to scold him but didn't know how to scold him.

Finally, Yitzhak threw Michelle away, glared at Aslan fiercely, then turned and left the lounge.

"Where are you going, Yitzhak?"

Diego shouted quickly when he saw this.

"I'm going to find Captain Cruze. There's absolutely no way that guy Ino died in a place like this! Absolutely impossible!"

Yitzhak's voice came from the passage: "So he must be waiting for rescue somewhere!"

"Wait for me, I'll go with you!"

Diego heard this and quickly followed.

"I...Aslan, Michelle, are you going?"

Nigel was about to go over, but before leaving, he still looked at Aslan and Michelle. After all, the two who felt most guilty were probably the two people who were in it and failed to rescue them successfully.

"go with!"

Michelle suddenly raised her head when she heard this, and said with a hint of madness in her tone: "If something really happens to Ino, I will drag the Strike Gundam away to avenge him even if I die!"

Rusty died, Olney died, Axie died, and in the end even Ino died for herself...

The guilt and anger in his heart almost completely burned his reason.

Aslan opened his mouth subconsciously when he heard the words, but in the end nothing came out.

What else can you say in this situation?
My only hope now is that the person driving that mobile suit is not Kira, otherwise what happened to Ino will definitely drive Yitzhak and the others completely crazy.

Even I don't know how to face this.

"Miliere, have you found a distress signal?"

Captain Cruze brought Aslan and others to the bridge.

"Yes, but the signal disappeared quickly, so..."

CIC Milier, who was in charge of communication monitoring, replied heavily.

When Aslan and others heard this, they couldn't help showing painful expressions on their faces.

Michelle even bit her lips tightly, the murderous intent in her eyes was as real as ever.

It's a good thing to have a distress signal because it means the other person didn't die on the spot.

But it's not a good thing if a distress signal appears and then disappears quickly.

Because the distress signal appears and then disappears, normally there are only three possibilities.One: Ino Kamal has been rescued, so there is no need to continue sending distress signals, but they know that this is impossible.

Because apart from them and the Archangel, there are no other warships nearby that can undertake search and rescue missions.

Two: Ino Kamal's body was captured by the Archangel, and Ino became a prisoner, but this possibility is very low.

Unless the people on the Archangel were sick, it would be impossible to touch the MS that sent the distress signal under such circumstances. This would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Three: Swallowed by the wreckage of the colonial satellite.

After the colonial satellite disintegrates, there will still be serial explosions or other situations due to various reasons, and Ino broke away from the colonial satellite mixed with the debris.

Therefore, the possibility of being swallowed by the debris is the highest.

Cruze also frowned slightly when he heard this.

He himself didn't quite believe that Ino Kamal died like this.

There's no reason, I just have this hunch.

But judging from Michelle's last scene, the possibility of Ino's death is really high.

It was hit head-on by the ship-cutting knife. Although it did not directly hit the cockpit, in that environment, a damaged MS was easily affected by the wreckage of the colonial satellite.

Is it really dead?

The atmosphere on the bridge also became somewhat negative because of Aslan and others.

"How long do you plan to grieve?"

After a few moments of silence.

Cruze said to Aslan and others who were looking a little depressed: "What happened to Ino Kamal is sad, but you can't forget the reason why he became like this."

This atmosphere is not conducive to your own plans.

When Aslan and others heard this, they all looked at Cruze, not knowing what the captain meant.

"Adis, can you find the location of the opponent's warship?"

Cruze asked the battleship commander Adis.

"Captain, do you mean to continue the pursuit? But our mobile suits have been completely lost due to the previous battle."

After hearing this, Adis quickly replied: "And we just destroyed the colonial satellite of the neutral country. Over there at the Council..."

"Where are the colonial satellites that help the Earth Army manufacture new weapons? Are they neutral?"

There was no trace of confusion or regret on Cruze's face, but he said in a calm tone: "Besides, most of the residents of the colonial satellite have already used escape cabins to escape. Compared with the tragedy of Bloody Valentine's Day, this is nothing. It’s okay, we are already very kind, aren’t we?”

After hearing this, Adis swallowed back what he wanted to say and looked back at the screen.

Indeed...compared to that tragedy, everything in front of me can indeed be called benevolent.

But what we did was actually compared to Bloody Valentine...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Captain Cruze, who was still extremely calm in front of him.

"As for MS——"

Cruze said and turned his head to look at Aslan, Yitzhak and the others: "Actually, I don't like war either, but you have experienced the strength and situation of the Strike Gundam. In order not to To prevent a tragedy like Ino from happening, I hope to use your power."

"Did Ino give up just like that?"

Aslan couldn't help but asked after hearing this.

Faced with Aslan's 'retreat' at this time, Yitzhak surprisingly did not refute, but echoed: "Captain Cruze, I hope to search for Ino Kamal first!"

Because of his personality, Yitzhak didn't have many friends growing up, even though he had a nasty mouth and a very arrogant personality.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't have human feelings, or that people like him value feelings more. Once he identifies someone, he will always keep it in his heart.

"I also don't believe that Ino Kamal will die here. I will apply for search and rescue to the nearest ZAFT base later."

When Cruze said this, his tone suddenly changed: "But this is the only thing I can do. We are soldiers. Soldiers have orders and tasks as their bounden duty, and our task has not been completed yet."

Aslan and others fell silent upon hearing this.

"Of course, I won't force you, but I hope you don't forget why Ino ended up in this situation."

After speaking, Kruse patted a few people's shoulders and floated across the crowd towards the passage: "I'm going to apply for a search and rescue order. You should think about it carefully."

It has not yet been determined whether Ino was killed in action.

But his experience does allow him to make a little fuss.
