Summary[]
Plot[]
In January C.E. 71, Gai visits the space fortress Artemis to negotiate on behalf of the Alliance for the release of General Garcia. After Artemis was damaged in a ZAFT battle, pirates invaded the fortress and repaired the lightwave Umbrella. Pirate leader Anstan asks Gai how much he's going to pay for Garcia, and Gai tells Anstan he can pay with his own life. He says that if Anstan surrenders Artemis and releases Garcia, he'll let him live. Anstan asks Gai who he thinks he is, and suddenly the base rocks from an explosion. Anstan is informed that the shield generators have been damaged, and Gai tells Anstan he should've accepted the offer. In the shield control room, Loretta attacks several pirates and takes control of the area. In space, the Serpent Tail shuttle approaches Artemis. Elijah and Reed discuss how the pirates would've never expected Loretta to drift into the base by herself. Anstan asks Gai who he is, and Gai answers that he's from Serpent Tail. Reed slams the shuttle through one of Artemis' gates to pick up Loretta and Gai. Anstan jumps into his custom GINN and heads into space to attack Gai. Gai tells Anstan that he sealed his death when he refused the offer, and he uses his beam saber to destroy Anstan's GINN.
