Synopsis[]
The members of Earth House depart the school to pick up the Aerial, which has been under repair. Their destination is Plant Quetta, a giant development facility that belongs to the Benerit Group. But Suletta is still troubled by the misunderstanding between her and Miorine.[5]
Plot[]
On the way to Plant Quetta, Suletta does chores to try and be useful after her upset with the previous discussion with Miorine while Earth House trains with docking in the new GUND-ARM, Inc.'s ship. In hopes of not needing to rely on Belmeria as much, Miorine considers hiring Nika to lead the next project. Suletta notices the two approaching the livestock area and quickly hides behinds Tiko, hoping that she wouldn't be noticed, but her ponytail is spotted by the two as it was in plain sight.
Suletta does more chores and random work as they arrive on Plant Quetta, comically freaking out after Nuno calls his tablet's app "useless".
Delling and Prospera meet in the deep levels of Plant Quetta. Prospera asks for him to refer to her as "Elnora Samaya" before they begin to discuss "Quiet Zero", a secret project. Prospera informs him that Aerial had made a permet score of 6 when Suletta dueled with Grassley House over GUND-ARM, Inc.'s ability to operate. Delling is given Aerial's data for project Quiet Zero, making it clear to her that the project is his.
Dawn of Fold prepare their mobile suits within the ship they had boarded. Naji orders the ship's crew into assisting in their assault on Plant Quetta. Bob notices that all of the mobile suits appear to be made by Jeturk Heavy Machinery, but is soon shut up by Sophie who threatens him, before she is ordered to stop by Naji.
Within the factory, Earth House prepares to have lunch. Suletta reaches for her preferred lunch but allows Ojelo to take it when she realizes he was going to grab the same one. Aliya grabs an extra lunch for Nuno by accident, leaving Suletta with no meal. She retreats to the latrine, feeling as though she doesn't belong and is not welcome as a member of the group. Meanwhile, Miorine and Nika discuss where they will be taking Aerial, while Nika points out how Miorine has been avoiding Suletta.
Vim talks about how Sarius' attempt to press charges against Aerial's operators with Delling had failed, and proceeded to mention an idea for them to put sanctions on Grassley, pressuring Delling by stating how it could be a possibility for them to threaten the company of his daughter, Miorine. Recognizing that Vim was trying to get a reaction out of him, Delling notes that Vim's son, Guel, is still missing. The remark causes Vim to react with violence, causing Delling to be escorted out of the meeting room by his guards. Little to their knowledge, Vim had placed a transmitter on on of Delling's guards to track them. Vim calls Shaddiq and orders him to begin their job in two hours, but after the call ends, Shaddiq disobeys Vim and orders the Dawn of Fold to begin the operation.
Sophie watches the footage from Suletta's fight against Shaddiq's group and is mesmerized by her and Aerial's actions, expressing that she would like to meet her, and the group receives the order from Saddiq to begin their mission.
By the orbit of the moon, Dominicus Fleet Members discuss and gossip about the captain of the ship, Kenanji Avery, who rebukes the crew for partaking in such a pastime. He then gets a report from regarding the Jeturk patrol fleet being by Plant Quetta, leaving him to wonder why it was so far from its post.
Returning to everyone after lunch, Miorine notices that Suletta is nowhere to be found, but everyone figures she likely has already went to check on Aerial. Meanwhile, Prospera and Belmeria talk about the current project to bring back GUND medical technology into the mainstream. However, as Prospera speaks about how proud she is about her daughter, Belmaria begins to worry that something strange is up. Prospera suddenly gets a call from her daughter, hiding in the bathroom and depressed, eventually opening up to her about how she feels useless. Prospera asks Suletta to come to the hangar where her and Aerial are, but the conversation is soon disrupted by Miorine beating on the latrine's door, as she had eavesdropped on their conversation.
Suletta immediately takes off running, trying to get away from Miorine who was close in heel. Miorine begins to trick her by faking being exhausted and captures Suletta. Trapped by Miorine, Suletta expresses to her feelings of being unneeded and mentions how her mottos can't even get her though her anxieties. Miorine becomes infuriated, shouting that Suletta becoming her groom and her motto was what made her stop trying to escape to Earth, become a businesswoman, muscle through her father's criticism, and what made her actually be happy regardless of her circumstances being the same thing she swore she wouldn't ever want. As she hugs Suletta, she tells her that she wants her to stay by her side forever, tells her to tell her what is on her mind, tells her to rely on her, and gives her a full list of demands for her as Miorine's groom.
Dawn of Fold goes into action, 3 mobile suits being sent in to disrupt communication by the factory, followed by Lfrith Thorn and Lfrith Ur being sent in. The two Lfrith Gundams fire their beam cannons to slice a part of the factory where Delling is away from the rest of the Front, while Prospera works to activate the repaired and refitted Aerial. In spite of her orders, Sophie decides to search for Delling in hopes to kill him herself, but soon spots Suletta, who is seperated from Miorine by the attack and alone in a hallway.
