Endless Rondo

PHASE-25

Inside the Orb’s dock, technicians work on repairs to the Archangel damaged by the battle. Morgenroete Incorporated’s engineer Erica Simmons, who is also responsible for the development of M1 Astray, analyzes the data submitted by the Archangel. She analyzes the combat data of Strike Gundam and is stunned by the high ability rate of Kira Yamato.
Before long, Kira is escorted to the Morgenroete factory and Erica asks him to development the support OS of the Orb forces’ technologically behind mobile suit, M1 Astray.
Cagalli, who was accompanying him, explains to the surprised Kira, that this is the true aspect of the peaceful country Orb – do not invade, do not allow invasion, and maintain its neutral position – and that Astray exists to protect the will of the country. But she thinks that her father Uzumi betrayed Orb’s ideals by working with the Earth Alliance.
Erica explains to Cagalli that it is a misunderstanding. She calls the crew of M1 Astray and shows Kira how they train.
The awkward movements, not to mention the poor ability of the pilot, are evidence that the OS is still in development. Erica tells Kira, that she wants to make the Astrays as powerful as his Strike Gundam.
