Summary[]
Plot[]
In the H.O.M.E.'s hangar, Lowe tests out a GINN sword by slicing a piece of metal that Kisato is holding with her Kimera. Although the GINN sword cuts through the metal, Lowe isn't satisfied with it. He says he needs a weapon in case someone tries to steal the Red Frame, and Kisato tells him he should use the beam saber. Lowe disagrees because the beam saber is too dangerous and drains the Red Frame's energy. Liam performs a search on mobile suit swords, but he says there are too many results. The Professor asks how the search is going and suggests visiting the Graveyard. She explains that many of Earth's artisans migrated to a satellite called Graveyard. She pulls up information on a katana called the Gerbera Straight, and Lowe decides he wants that sword. The H.O.M.E. arrives at the desolate Graveyard, and Lowe launches in the Red Frame, followed by Kisato and Liam in their Kimeras. The Professor tells him that there were around 100 people at the Graveyard, but her information is quite old. Inside the Graveyard, Lowe receives an audio transmission from someone demanding to know what he wants. Lowe explains that he wants the sword, and the sender accuses him of being a robber. Lowe spots a BuCUE hanging from the ceiling above them. Un'no, the pilot of the BuCUE, attacks Lowe. Lowe chases after Un'no and his dog Denpachi, insisting that he isn't a thief. Lowe activates his beam saber, and Un'no jumps out of the BuCUE and slices apart the beam saber. Lowe and the others chase Un'no into a pit and trip some trap bombs. They eventually come upon a door made up of interlocking engraved blocks. Lowe realizes it's a puzzle, and suddenly the ceiling begins to lower. Lowe quickly moves the blocks and completes the puzzle to open the door. In the next chamber, Lowe discovers a graveyard. Kisato wonders if Un'no killed all the people in the graveyard. Un'no appears and says he realizes Lowe isn't a thief. He explains that he is the last of the artisans that came to the Graveyard, and the others recorded their skills into their graves. He says that they fought against robbers, and six months ago the Gerbera Straight was damaged. Lowe asks him to fix it, and Un'no says that's impossible because it's heavily damaged and the smith who built it is dead. Lowe says he can find the smith's data and thinks Un'no might as well do something useful before dying.
