Summary[]
Plot[]
At the Giga Float, Malchio and the Serpent Tail crew say goodbye as Lowe and Kisato's shuttle takes off into space. Malchio thanks Gai for protecting the Giga Float, and Gai says he was just doing his job. Reed and Elijah say that ZAFT could target the Giga Float, but Malchio assures them it will be constantly moving. Lowe and Kisato meet up with Liam and the Professor to see their new ship, the ReHOME. Kisato is amazed by the size of the ship, and the Professor says they've prepared a surprise. At Orb's space station Ame-no-Mihashira, Rondo plots his next move. Although Uzumi Nara Athha is dead, Cagalli poses a problem for Rondo's plan to rule Orb. He debates with someone whether he should attack ZAFT or the Alliance, and he decides to attack ZAFT first because Blue Cosmos leader Muruta Azrael gave him a Sword Calamity unit along with a pilot. On the ReHOME's bridge, the Professor introduces Kisato to the ship's captain- George Glenn. Lowe wonders how that can be if George has been dead for several decades, and the Professor explains that the GG Unit they acquired contained George's brain. She extracted the memory engrams and created a holographic version of George. The ship takes off, and Kisato is shocked by how corny George is. Lowe asks George what he thinks about the war, and George asks Lowe for his opinion. Lowe explains that he doesn't mind the existence of weapons as long as they're used to protect people instead of just for pointless destruction. George explains that Coordinators had a special purpose, which was to coordinate the natural evolution of Naturals. However, things didn't turn out that way and George feels that he made a mistake. Reassessing his views, he tells Lowe anyone who wants to serve the good of humanity should be called a Coordinator, including him. Afterward, George launches the ReHOME and sets course for a nearby distress signal. Elsewhere, the Laurasia-class ship Amzen is destroyed by an unidentified foe. The commander of the ZAFT fleet orders all ships and mobile suits to retreat. A GuAIZ is captured by Rondo's Gold Frame Amatsu. Rondo uses his Maga-no-Ikutachi Claws to destroy the GuAIZ's head and then destroy the mobile suit. Rondo spots several escape pods from the destroyed ZAFT ships and destroys them. The ReHOME arrives at the battlefield and moves in to investigate. Kisato begs Lowe not to fight Gold Frame Amatsu, but Lowe tells her his mind is made up. Lowe launches in the Red Frame, and Rondo is surprised that Lowe is back in space.
