Summary[]

Lt. Murrue Ramius takes over as captain of the Archangel and Kira and his friends are detained for seeing top-secret military weapons while the crew of the Archangel learn that Kira is a coordinator. Rau Le Creuset is determined to capture the Strike after seeing how well it moved and sends out mobile suits to retrieve it. Disobeying orders, Athrun also dispatches so he can confirm if Kira is the one piloting the Strike. But when he finds his answer, Heliopolis crumbles as it sustains too much damage.

Quotes[]

Kuzzey: "I'm impressed that he can sleep in this situation."
Miriallia: "He's tired. It was really tough for Kira, you know."
Kuzzey: "It was tough? Well, I guess that's true, but..."
Sai: "What are you getting at, Kuzzey?"
Kuzzey: "Nothing. Just that in Kira's case, we can only say it was tough for him, and that's it. Kira said he rewrote the OS for that thing, right? When did he do that?"
Sai: "What do you mean?"
Kuzzey: "I can't imagine Kira had any previous knowledge of that thing. So then, when did he rewrite the OS? I figured all along that Kira had to be a Coordinator. To think that Coordinators, born genetically-enhanced, do these amazing things, but to them it's nothing more than "tough". The guys in ZAFT are all like that. Do the Earth Forces have any chance fighting against these guys?"

Kuzzey Buskirk talking to Miriallia Haw and Sai Argyle about Kira being a Coordinator, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Collapsing Land

What they lost...
...was the time they took for granted and the future they believed in.
When the land, diminishing into empty space, portrays the greatness...
...of what will never return, where will the youngsters try to go?
As they try to make sense of their feelings...
...the approaching reality ejects them from familiar territory.
And the darkness of battles found on the other side...
,...of the opening gate is endless, gloomy and deep.
Next, on Mobile Suit Gundam Seed...
Next episode: "Silent Run".
