Plot[]
In space, Rondo Mina tests the repaired Gold Frame Amatsu when an unidentified incoming object is detected. The high-speed machine flies right by Rondo Mina and severs both of Gold Frame Amatsu's legs. Elsewhere, the ReHOME sets course for an area in Lagrange point 4 to deliver vaccines for the deadly Type S2 Influenza that only affects Naturals. Liam explains to George that when the Type S2 appeared, Naturals believed that it was a genetically engineered biological weapon. Lowe wants to take the fastest course to the colony, which will bring them close to a ZAFT base. To ensure delivery of the vaccine, the crew is joined by two other Junk Guild captains: Honest Sakata and Speedy Joe. Kisato tells Lowe that she's worried about that job because sending three ships must mean it's dangerous. She says she doesn't want anything to happen to Lowe, but he tells her not to worry because he's the luckiest man in space. Elsewhere, Kenaf warns ZAFT Commander Cusco at the space station Erudou that Lowe is on his way. Remembering what happened at Heliopolis, Cusco tells his men not to let anyone through their territory. As the three Junk Guild ships approach Erudou, they come under fire. Lowe launches in the Red Frame Power Loader and takes one of the Re.H.O.M.E.'s shields to draw Erudou's fire. Joe's ship is hit, and several GINNs fire missiles and deploy a large steel net. Lowe pulls out the giant Gerbera Straight and slices through the net to create a path for the ReHOME A GINN fires a heavy cannon and hits Joe's Giga. Joe tells Lowe to deliver the vaccine because his parents were killed by the disease, but Lowe cuts the Giga's cockpit loose and tells Joe he doesn't get to be a martyr. After retrieving the cockpit, the three Junk Guild ships escape. Soon after, Ash Gray's giant Regenerate Gundam attacks Erudou and destroys the base as he considers them a failure. Kenaf is shocked by what he is seen and wonders how there can be a mobile suit he doesn't know about. Elsewhere, the Junk Guild ships reach the colony and deliver the vaccine in time.
