Hey!
Look at that!It's an Alliance mobile suit!
You're awake.
How are you feeling?
This is a satellite for mining natural resources.
What were you doing in that mobile suit, anyway?
You don't appear to be a soldier with the Alliance.
I'm not...!
Don't try to move, yet.
If you'd continued drifting in space, you would've died.
Why...
Why did you save my life?
I'm a doctor.
Nothing to do with OZ or the Alliance.
Besides, this is a neutral zone outside both group's control.
Forgive me.
I didn't even say thanks for saving my life.
Do you know where I could rent a shuttle?
You mustn't!
I can't let a patient in your condition out of my sight.
Forget about my condition!
Calm down.
I see you're in a hurry, but it's not good for your health!
What you really need to do is rest your body and mind.
I can make arrangements for the shuttle.
Promise you'll wait?
Yes.
Sorry to ask you.
Not a problem.
But you have to get some rest.
Promise me.
It's no use.
The target is accelerating.
The Leos can't keep up with it.
The route is unchanged; still headed for the Bay Area.
The Leos are no match; just as I thought.
Reports suggest that it might even be the Tallgeese.
I don't care what it is!
We can't allow a mobile suit with weapons to get too close.
We can probably get rid of it with the mobile dolls.
However...
The scientists have completed the new mobile suits and they're ready.
I'd like to test the abilities of the Vayeate and the Mercurius.
We can't test them in real battle, you fool!
Who do you recommend for the other pilot?
Allow me to pilot it, Colonel Une.
It's got be an excellent pilot to conduct a complete test.
Otherwise he'll get in the way.
What's that?!
I understand.
Colonel...!
Trowa Barton.
You've got command to destroy the Tallgeese.
Ma'am.
Come out!
What do you think?
How do you like the Vayeate and Mercurius?
They're excellent!
They certainly reflect your skills as Gundam designers.
You were right to leave things in our hands.
But this is dangerous!
Why are you letting that Gundam pilot take out the Mercurius?
Because HE IS a Gundam pilot.
OZ should know his piloting skills better than anyone.
Can the Mercurius' self-detonation device be activated from Trowa's
Vayeate?
Yeah, just as you requested.
Trowa, you have the authority to blow up Mercurius if your pilot acts
suspicious!
That shouldn't be necessary.
He fought against the Tallgeese before, in Siberia.
He'd think of this as finishing the battle.
Now the colonies won't be a shield to prevent him from finishing it.
How could you have found out about that?
It's not hard, seeing as I'm a soldier for OZ.
It's a good thing he self-detonated.
I was living in the colony at the time.
So I might not have survived.
I should be grateful myself.
I found an excellent subordinate like you.
How is it?
Not too bad.
The operations are practically identical to the Gundams'.
Not surprising.
Hey, Gundam pilot.
How would you fight a mobile doll?
First I'd sneak behind the enemy to make sure I was out of its target
range.
Don't overdo it.
Or I'll have to blow you up.
The mobile dolls ' weak point is that they have the same abilities as
the manned models.
They're identical down to their mobility and reaction times.
The rest depends on how well a human pilot can fight them.
Personally, I have a harder time with space mines.
We don't need the mobile dolls.
I'll handle that white suit on my own.
We've caught up.
We'll send the mobile dolls.
Why's he in outer space?
You got me.
Mobile dolls!
My reaction time's a little slower than theirs.
But I can make up for that in close-range combat...
What?!
There's two of them!
It reflected the beam!
Gotta move in on this one too!
They're destroying the mobile dolls at the same time they're fighting
me.
Not many pilots could do that in outer space.
I haven't got time to play games with you.
Just haul me in.
Never would've guessed you'd sneak into OZ.
I'm officer Trowa Barton.
I don't believe we've met, Zechs Merquise.
I'll introduce myself.
I go by the name Milliardo Peacecraft.
I've come from Earth as a goodwill ambassador.
Gundam Wing
The majority of people living in space are either technicians or
laborers.
Enduring an environment inferior to that of the stable Earth these
people have the guts to improve their conditions.
This gives rise to a new power.
It's the Winner family who supports this spirit.
The Winner family master immigrated and became the central figure in
negotiations with the United Earth Sphere Alliance to fight for the rights
of the colony residents.
Even since the disintegration of the Alliance Military he confronts OZ
on behalf of the colony but always acts as a pacifist.
Excuse me, Mr. Winner.
What?!
Quatre has come back home?!
How old were you in that photo?
I really appreciate your bringing me here.
It wasn't any trouble.
I needed to come anyway.
You've been very disobedient.
I still believe I'm right!
Simply living in outer space is difficult for people!
Involving yourself in a war is a waste of time!
That's why we've been searching for solutions through discussions with
the United Earth Sphere Alliance.
But you had to go to Earth in a mobile suit.
You even gave them an Excuse to attack the colonies.
But someone has to fight or the war won't end.
Well?!
Has it ended?!
Did your battle end the war?!
What could you accomplish?
What could a child like you accomplish?!
The least you could do as an heir is listen to your father.
Use your head.
I think he'll grown up to be an excellent heir.
Irea, don't you start on me.
Father.
It's wrong to think of a child as being incapable.
My little brother will make an excellent heir!
Deep inside, Father understands.
That dialog with OZ won't lead to any solutions.
But he thinks things will come out all right if the whole colony works
together as one.
Why didn't you tell me you were my sister?
I'd heard from Father that my little brother was a Gundam pilot.
But he gets so upset.
I couldn't decide whether to say anything.
I heard my sisters were stationed in different resource satellites.
We're all rooting for you.
And Father is no exception.
Right after you left it was Father who worried about you most.
Really?
It's true I gave refuge to Instructor H who was fleeing from the
Alliance.
But from our family's perspective mobile suits aren't needed to attain
peace.
Still, Quatre ignored me and cooperated with the instructor.
Aggressive solutions only lead to more problems.
But Quatre just can't see that.
This is where my Gundam was built.
But I had to destroy it on Earth because of my incompetence.
What are you going to do?
The instructor's not here.
I have to make another Gundam, to fight.
Quatre...
Can you really fight for the people of the colony?
Huh?
Another Gundam pilot who fought like you was caught.
His Gundam was destroyed to set an example.
The people of the colonies were overjoyed.
No one in space considers Gundams their allies anymore.
Quatre, are you sure you can still fight?
I wasn't fighting to be recognized by the people.
But one day I believe they'll see the truth.
I'm probably feeling sentimental without Sandrock around.
I'm sorry.
I'm your sister, yet I'm always mean to you.
Sis...
We all love you.
So don't be sad, my dearest Quatre.
Thank you, Irea.
Then how would you gentlemen define future development?
Why do you need arms for defense?
Mr. Winner.
I understand your point.
But we're already in a dangerous strategic position.
And the people want to be responsible for their safety.
Safety?!
This is safety?!
You saw these weapons, and armed yourselves.
How dare you use words like ''safety'' or ''peace''?!
Development of this colony wouldn't have been possible without your
financial help.
However the current prosperity is a result of the citizens' efforts.
I question your continued dictatorship.
When did I act as a dictator?!
I've merely objected to OZ's intervention so we could maintain colony
peace.
If anyone is guilty of trying to dictate the colony it's you men!
Mr. Winner.
At this point, we can't allow your exclusive control.
Let's decide on a fair offer for jurisdiction over this area.
The manufacture of arms and murder weapons.
Why should I cooperate?!
Hand over your rights, Winner family!!
The colony belongs to us laborers!!
Hooray for OZ!!
What are they yelling about?
Public opinion is getting stronger.
Saying we shouldn't monopolize natural resources.
That's absurd.
It's true that we own many natural resource satellites.
But we've never monopolized the resources.
We've practically given them away for people's prosperity in space.
But everybody knew that!
People's feelings have changed.
About you, and about Father.
But we're only...we're only doing the right thing.
The votes are unanimous.
From now on, this natural resource satellite is under OZ's
jurisdiction.
You won't manufacture weapons on this satellite!
Are you serious?!
Father's disconnected the satellite?!
What?!
Yes, and it's accelerating!
This could disrupt functions in our entire colony!
That's what he's really like!
He's prepared to sacrifice the colony's future for his benefit.
And he won't stop at anything!
Should we allow this to happen?!
Since there are no objections we'll proceed at once to take any
necessary steps to maintain peace in our colony.
Father, you've got to stop this!
This isn't going to resolve anything!
They'll be coming after you!
Are you telling me to sit back as OZ invades the colony?!
I'm not mistaken!
Father!!
Quatre!
Promise you won't fight in those mobile suits anymore.
Aggression won't solve anything.
But Father...
You fools!
Get away from here!
That wicked beam cannon is aimed at this satellite!
Father, please escape!
Quatre, I am escaping.
I'm not putting up a fight.
There is no end to this fight, so I've opted to run away.
If I should die, then so be it.
I'm not so attached to space that I'll compromise myself!
FATHER!!!
Father?!
FATHER!!
Quatre!!
Father...
Quatre.
Father fought very hard.
He wasn't running away.
He put up a brave fight, right?
Irea, try not to move.
You'll only make it worse.
You're a kind person, Quatre.
And Father was kind too.
But what did Father do to deserve to be killed?!
Kind people are shedding tears.
But nobody understands them.
And the colony is satisfied now.
You people are satisfied!
I'll never forget this.
And I'll make sure the people don't forget this day, either.
Outer space...
It's so quiet...
