On the whole, this only accounts for a small portion of soldiers escaped into Space, but if we don't pay attention, then tens of thousands of Zeon soldiers will be drowned in the Earth orbit. | ” |

I want to tell you but I have no way to explain it, so don't die until I can give you the answer. Stay alive! Return to the planned collection point!! | ” |
