Gundam SEED: Poetry of Tomorrow

Chapter 40 Ino’s surprise

The bridge of the Archangel.

After taking Ino Kamal under house arrest as a prisoner of war, everyone returned again.

Although the other party requested to chat alone, the current situation really left them without much free time.

"What are you going to do next?"

In the bridge, Mu Piao asked Captain Ma Liu in mid-air.

After hearing this, Ma Liu subconsciously looked at the people on the bridge.

Suddenly being called a captain, being thrust into this position, and being chased by ZAFT outside, for her who didn't have much actual combat experience, the pressure and confusion made her want to find a place to go crazy and vent.

But she couldn't do this, because most of the crew members were the same as herself.

But this made her feel that her future future was even more bleak.

What's even more troublesome is that these crew members are not familiar with each other.

Not to mention Captain M. La Flag, even Natal Bakirulu. Although they all know each other, they have never served in the same unit.

He also had great doubts about whether he could continue to control them, especially this man who didn't really look serious.

"Do you want to choose to surrender?"

Mr. Mu asked with a smile: "I think ZAFT will be happy to accept us. Plus, with the prisoner named Ino Kamal, we may receive preferential treatment."

When Ma Liu heard this, she rolled her eyes at Mu and said ventingly: "What you said is a good idea. How about you contact me for me?"

"Forehead·····"

Mu, who didn't expect the other party to say such words, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Seeing the stunned look on the other side's face, Ma Liu couldn't help but feel a sense of revenge, but this was just talk.

After a moment of pondering, Malu, who faced the reality, took a deep breath and said resolutely: "This ship will never choose to surrender. This battleship and the final attack must not be handed over to ZAFT, no matter what. They must be handed over to the Commander of the Atlantic Federation."

"But now we can't even get in touch with the Lunar Headquarters..."

Listening to Ma Liu's decisive answer, Mu no longer teased, but said with a bitter face: "I admire your determination, but just based on this..."

"Based on the current location of this ship, our easiest choice is to take the route to the location of friendly forces."

When the two of them were suffering from headaches, Second Lieutenant Bucky Lulu made a suggestion: "The Umbrella of Artemis is very close to our location. If we can get there, we should be able to get in touch with the Atlantic Federation."

Listening to Bucky Lulu's proposal, the two couldn't help but look surprised, but they quickly thought about the feasibility of the proposal.

Artemis Umbrella is the Eurasian Federation military satellite located to the left of Archangel.

The Eurasian Federation and the North Atlantic Federation to which the Archangel belongs belong to a military alliance.

"But the G series and this ship have not been publicly announced at all, not even the identification codes of friendly forces, so in the past..."

Captain Malu was a little uneasy. After all, although the Eurasian Federation was an alliance with the Atlantic Federation, it was only an alliance.

"But even if we continue to the moon, is it possible that the journey will go smoothly without any fighting?"

Lieutenant Natal Bakilulu raised the most fatal problem of the current warship: "Moreover, this ship did not fully contain the supplies when it set sail. With our current supplies, we simply cannot persist until we reach the moon."

The moon is now directly opposite the earth's satellite orbit, and it is too far to go there.

Moreover, even if there is no battle on the way, the supplies on the ship will be insufficient halfway.

Second Lieutenant Natal Bakilulu added again: "Actually, we have no choice."

Listening to Natal Bakilulu's words, Captain Malu subconsciously pursed his lips.

"But Artemis' side..."

Mu murmured suspiciously: "Will the other party cooperate as we wish..."

"But this is really the only way we have left now."

Malu felt uneasy and hesitant, but still made a decision: "Prepare the decoy target! While launching the decoy target, launch the main engine injection, adjust the direction and correct the orbit with Artemis, and then change to inertial navigation, and everyone will be in the second combat position. ! And complete orbit control in the shortest time.”

The bridge of the Archangel accepted the proposal and quickly became busy.

"The silent submersible voyage to Artemis... takes about two hours."

Inside the house under house arrest.

"Is this... an orbit correction?"

Ino looked at the scene of the wreckage outside the window that was gradually changing direction, and roughly guessed the current situation: "So the next target is-the Umbrella of Artemis." Ino actually didn't know much about the original work. It can be said that the general content is known.

But in this case, the general content is enough.

From the memory of its predecessor, it is known that the Artemis Umbrella is a military satellite belonging to the Eurasian Federation.

The Archangel encountered some not-so-pleasant things after arriving on Artemis.

But later Thunder Gundam helped him solve the trouble——

"Forget it, all this has nothing to do with me. My first question now is how to leave this battlefield."

Ino sat on the edge of the bed and began to think.

He does have his own internal identification code, but the question is, can Artemis know this code?

And when the previous family has been completely disconnected, how can I prove that I have not been instigated by ZAFT?
How to gain the other party’s trust——

The answer is - there is no way to prove it.

Under normal circumstances, no one would believe other people's one-sided words, let alone when a war breaks out between the two sides.

After all, according to the setting, he entered the top ranks of ZAFT based on his grades in the command system——

"Speaking of which, how could the United Earth allow such a 'genius' to become a spy? What are their countermeasures?"

Ino suddenly thought of how the Earth United could ensure that it would not rebel.

As long as you can think about this problem clearly, can you determine your loyalty in reverse?
But - what are their countermeasures?
Why I have no impression at all.

"No, this isn't right-"

Ino suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

Why didn't I think of this problem until now?
I had never thought about it carefully before, but now that I suddenly thought about it, I realized that the behavior of the Earth United was very strange.

Why do they think that they, or their predecessors, will not rebel?

I saw a joke in my previous life.

It's about the police sending an undercover agent to lurk in a gang.

However, the police refused to close the network, and the undercover was suffering every day. So the undercover called his superior and said that he would close the network later, and that I already had their information.

The chief said, wait a minute.

After a year, the undercover agent couldn't wait any longer and called his superior again: "Sir, please close the net later. I have entered the core of the gang."

The chief said, wait a moment.

Another year later, the undercover agent called again and said: Sir, I have become the second-in-command of the gang. It will take a while to close the net.

The chief said, keep waiting.

Another year passed, and the chief felt it was time to close the net. By this time, the undercover agent had successfully risen to the top of the gang and became the boss.

At this time, the chief called him and said that the network could be closed.

The undercover agent responded at this time: Sir, are you kidding? We are a legal company.

This is not a joke, but a real example.

The people of the United Earth are not idiots, there is no way they would have thought of this situation.

So, what is their countermeasure?
Isn't he afraid that he will become a double agent and enhance his status in ZAFT by passing wrong information to the Earth Alliance?

Looking at the situation of its predecessor, it ranked first in the command department.

This achievement is a sure thing to enter the core department. Under normal circumstances, it is no problem to be in purple.

If you add the characteristics of a double agent, you might be able to get a member of the Council by making good use of it.

Don't talk about threats from your parents or talk about feelings.

The training that my predecessor participated in was all life-threatening. Nearly a thousand students of the same period started training together from a young age, but in the end only a few of them survived.

That means one person will be eliminated and one will die.

Just that kind of...etc.

"Why can't I remember the specific training content?"
