Summary[]
Plot[]
At Morgenröte Headquarters, Erica tells Rondo about the Giga Float Project, and he isn't pleased to hear about the Mass Driver. He says that with mass drivers being destroyed by ZAFT in battles, Orb's mass drivers are now a premium commodity. He tells Erica that he is going out with the upgraded Gold Frame Amatsu, which is only 70% complete. At the Giga Float site, Lowe uses Red Frame to assist in the construction. Kisato is amazed that they've built so much, but Lowe tells her they need to stabilize the core to prevent it from coming apart. Elsewhere, Reed informs the other members of Serpent Tail that Lowe and Malchio are helping build the Giga Float. Gai says that he'll head out to the Giga Float once he completes his work on Blue Frame's scale system. The Giga Float is rocked by an explosion, and Lowe sees that the culprit is Gold Frame. Lowe sees Gold Frame still has no right arm, so he attacks the weak spot and is knocked away. A right arm suddenly appears, and Rondo explains that it was salvaged from the destroyed Blitz Gundam. Rondo then activates the Mirage Colloid and vanishes. He attacks Lowe from various directions and grabs him from behind. Rondo knocks Lowe down and is disappointed that Lowe went down so quickly. He prepares to kill Lowe with his "Trikeros" beam rifle, but Kisato jumps onto Red Frame's cockpit and begs Rondo to stop. Suddenly, an energy blast comes out of the water and knocks Rondo into the sea. He spots Gai's Blue Frame, which has been equipped with a scale system. Gai fires torpedoes at Rondo, and Rondo realizes he is at a disadvantage because he can't use the Mirage Colloid underwater. With his mission to damage the Giga Float accomplished, Rondo escapes. Kisato wakes Lowe up, and he acts quickly to help save the Giga Float. Lowe works with the other mobile suit pilots to stabilize the Giga Float's core and falls into the water from exhaustion. Gai pulls him out of the water with Blue Frame, but 8 is washed away.
