Wufei. Are you guys doing the right thing?
Heero. What?!
Wufei. I�m asking if you guys are doing the right thing!
Heero. Wufei! Press the detonation switch!\ I�ll say it again, press the button!
_____________________________________________________________
Duo. T-Trowa! Why have you betrayed us?!
Trowa. You�ve got the wrong guy. I�m not Trowa.
Duo. You can�t be serious.\ So this�ll end everything will it?
_____________________________________________________________
Trowa (thinking). I am not Trowa. I am a nameless soldier who has been on the battlefield for as far back as I can remember.
[Flash back]
Trowa. The first time I met this man called Trowa was when I was helping with the adjustments with Heavyarms.
Trowa Barton. What�s this all about?! Why are we limiting all of our attacks to OZ?
Doctor S. If we proceed with Operation Meteor 2 billion people will die. Trowa don�t you think this is going to far just for revenge on Heero Yuy.
Trowa Barton. The purpose of this plan is not revenge. The purpose of the plan is for the colonies to conquer Earth all for the awakenings of a �new mankind�
Doctor S. That certainly sounds like something Dekim of the Barton Foundation would think of.
Trowa Barton. I see. You guys have something against that don�t you?! You�re jealous that my father and us members of the Barton Foundation will rule the ES!
Doctor S. Were are you going?! Trowa!
Trowa Barton. I�m telling this to my father. Just watch me. I�ll proceed with Operation Meteor if I must do so myself! (Trowa Barton has just been shot dead)
Doctor S. Now you�ve done it!
Guy. I�m sorry, but I have a family on Earth so...
Doctor S. What the? Who�s there?
Trowa. I have no name. If you must call me something just call me No-name.
Guy. Were you watching us?!
Trowa. I�ll understand if you want to kill me but I must tell you, I might retaliate.
Doctor S. No. Stop. Sooner or later they�ll find out about this anyway. There�s no use in trying to hide the facts now.
Trowa. Hm. You�re giving up to easily.
Doctor S. and Guy. What?
Trowa. I was feeling insecure without a name. I wouldn�t mind taking his name.
Guy. What on Earth are you talking about?!
Trowa. It seems clear to me that I would be best suited for the battlefields.
Doctor S. Are you saying that you will pilot this Gundam Heavyarms?
Trowa. Yes. I�ve become found of this suit. But I have absolutely no intention in conquering Earth.
Doctor S. Why not. As of this moment your name is Trowa Barton. You are now in charge of Operation Meteor.
Trowa. I understand.
[End of flash back]
Duo. Trowa...Man, couldn�t he have taken it a little easier?
_____________________________________________________________
Quatre. At this rate it�ll take us 5 more days before we rendezvous with the resource disposal satellite. However, we could reduce our time up to 80 hours by taking this course.
***Mustache. That�s great, then lets take that course
***no sunglasses. But considering the fuel needed to accelerate now and decelerate at the rendezvous point with that course, we�d be out of propelling power by the time we got there!
***mustache. But then there�s no way to get back is there.
Quatre. No there is a way to get back. If we detonated the power furnace and used the explosion as our propelling force, the ship can return to Earth in no time. We�d Fly the ship to Venus and use the catapult effect of it�s gravity to hurl us toward Earth.
***no sunglasses. Our main problem is the time we have at the rendezvous point. Calculations indicate this ship will run alongside the satellite for only 5 seconds!
Rashid. The question is how many can we get on in 5 seconds?
Quatre. We can�t avoid some danger, since Duo�s periodic message hasn�t come, it�s likely to say things are becoming more serious back there.
Rashid. Ok. Then it�s decided. The satellite team will consist of Abdul, myself, and...
Quatre. No, I will be going alone.
Rashid. But Master Quatre!
Abdul. But please! Take us with you Master Quatre!
Quatre. Rashid, start the booster one last time.
***mustache. Master Quatre, I want you to know that everyone of us is ready to give our lives for you at anytime.
Quatre. There is noting more precious then life in this universe. Sandrock made that point clear to me.

Sally. The Taurus troops ahead of us are currently headed toward the relay station.
Noin. There taking a roundabout route but there destination still does appear to be Earth.
Sally. A Preventer cruiser will be here from the moon base shortly. I�m sure we�ll be able to by a little time when they arrive.
Noin. Any word from Heero and Duo?
Sally. No.
Noin. Really...Sally were you able to confirm any new types of MS in the last battle?
Sally. No but I think they were all Taurus and Space Leo suits.
Noin. We�ve been taking them to lightly.\ Just as I thought. The heat detector shows nothing.
Sally. So those troops are primarily MD!
Noin. Right. That means the main troops with the new MS are deployed somewhere else.
Sally. Hm. Quite an extensive operation. Then were could the main troops be?
Noin. I dunno. But we�ll leave this area. Contact Earth about it at once.
Sally. Roger.
_____________________________________________________________
Lady Une. Those people have no idea what Mariemaia will do to them. But with the worlds lack of strength to retaliate she won�t need 5 minutes to take political control. What would you do in this situation Mr. Treize?
_____________________________________________________________
***mustache. We�ve found the resource disposal satellite. We�ve got about 180 minutes before we reach it.
Quatre (thinking). I�m almost there Sandrock.
[Flash back]
Quatre. Self-detonating?
Instructor O. That�s right. It�s been installed in Sandrock.
Quatre. For confidentiality protection?
Instructor O. No that�s not the reason. It�s expected that anyone having considerable power should be prepared.
Quatre. But I don�t quite understand...
Instructor O. I guess not. That�s fine for now.
Quatre. An order from the organization?
Instructor O. Ya, but forget this thing. Quatre, fight as your hear tells you to. And use the self-detonating device only when you feel you have to.
Quatre. Ok.
Instructor O (thinking). I can�t take away his kindness and sincerity, although this may end up being a crueler destiny than Operation Meteor.
[End of flash back]

Dekim. My calculations are correct after all. Unlike those of Quinze.
_____________________________________________________________
Relena. Say that you rule the ES, are you sure that you�d be carrying out Treize�s...I mean your father�s will by going through with this?
Mariemaia. You�ve got it all wrong. I just want to be victorious.
Relena. In that case you�ll have to decide for yourself the deeper meaning of what it is to fight.
Mariemaia. Miss Relena. Don�t make me repeat myself. I will not allow rude comments from you.
_____________________________________________________________
Duo. There�s no way we can catch up to that! Their heading towards the space port. They seem to be in an awful rush for someone going to Earth.
Heero. That�s because their palling to escape.
Duo. Escape?! Then why did they even bother taking over this place?
Heero. Hm...
Duo. Come on Heero! Remember, she is Treize�s daughter after all.
Heero. I�m more concerned about the man known as Dekim. I remember the name Dekim Barton from somewhere.
Duo. They can�t be serious! Their really planning to go ahead with Operation Meteor.
Heero. Ya. But I�ll do all that I can to stop them.
_____________________________________________________________
Rashid. Master Quatre. We�ll reach the resource satellite in 20 seconds.
Quatre. All right then.
Rashid. If it appears to dangerous, get back into the ship.
Quatre. Yeah. Sure. It�s here!
Rashid. Commencing countdown. 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 (Quatre flies out of control) Master Quatre!!!
Quatre. I�m...I�m ok. I�ve safely arrived on the satellite. Take care everyone. Say hi to the Goddess of Venus.\The air remaining on the hsip has kept the increase in temperature to a minimum but...it�s still hotter than a desert in here!\ Hi. So we meet again.
_____________________________________________________________
Soldier. Preventer�s cruiser has changed it�s course.
Dekim. So they�ve realized what�s happening but it�s to late now. By the time thy arrive at this natural resource satellite the ruler of the ES will have changed already. Send out the serpent troops now!
Soldier. Yes sir. Open the Earth�s side gate at once! \Unidentified MS ahead!
Dekim. What the?!
Soldier. Checking the making of the MS sir. It�s the Tallgeese!
Dekim. It�s Treize? Can�t be. Must be Zechs.
Soldier. The Tallgeese is coming straight for us!
_____________________________________________________________
Zechs. Great! I read their actions perfectly. I guess there is still a place for someone who just can�t get used to peace.
_____________________________________________________________
Soldier. The serpent suits can�t fight back wearing their atmosphere shielding devices.
Shall we have them take off the devices?
Dekim. There�s no need for that.
Zechs. This is Preventer Wind calling.
Dekim. Zechs Marquise! I thought you were dead.
Zechs. That�s right, I was, but I find that I cannot quietly sleep in my grave while Treize�s spirit is still roaming among us. \ I had heard about you from Quinze. Dekim Barton, surrender and disarm yourself at once.
Dekim. I dare you to shoot us down.
Zechs. You do?
Dekim. If you fire at us you�ll quickly realize that these serpents are not the only card were playing.
Zechs. Damn you!
Dekim. Did Quinze not tell you? I was the one who first created Operation Meteor.
Zechs. What?! X18999!
Dekim. Haha. That�s right. We can drop the colony anytime we wish. If you continue to insist on getting in our way we will drop X18999 onto Earth. You will surrender! Unlike Quinze I have no intention of inviting you into becoming our leader. But I�ll be happy to consider you as a soldier of Mariemaia.
_____________________________________________________________
Wufei. Now Earth, show me your true idea of justice.
_____________________________________________________________
Relena. Drop the colony onto Earth?! Stop this at once! There�s no reason for doing this.
Mariemaia. Miss Relena, now please try to calm down. There should be no reason for that, so long as all mankind bows before me.
Relena. Do you really believe that people will bow before me?
Mariemaia. I know they will because in your role as the former Queen Relena, you�ve entrusted me now with the highest possible position of the ES.
Relena. What do you mean?
Mariemaia. As the Vice Foreign Minister you are very well trusted by the colonies. You have a much greater level of influential power over the people than even you yourself realize.
Relena. And that�s why you�ve abducted me!
Mariemaia. Now you got the picture.
_____________________________________________________________
Quatre. The temperature here is above 80� I�ll just think of it as a big sauna.\ This had better work. \5, 4...This angle should take it straight in Earth's direction.\ Well it should be a little bit cooler now.
_____________________________________________________________
Trowa (thinking). Operation Meteor. That�s what they called Gundams decent to Earth. But it was initially something different. The rotation of a colony is increased. The balancing mechanism is then destroyed at the La Grange point throwing the colony toward Earth. As this causes chaos on Earth the Gundams are sent to gain mastery. That�s the general outline of the original Operation Meteor. (out loud) What took you so long?
Duo. How bout that. Our objectives ended up being the same after all.
Trowa. Give me a hand. They�ve got quite an extensive lock on the system. It�s taking me time to reestablish the colony�s stability control.
Duo. Whatever you say.
Heero. We�d better hurry. They�ve already started sending troops to Earth.
Duo. I can�t seem to delete the final lock. We�ll have to reconnect the lines directly.
Trowa. Many friends that I�ve worked with are on this colony. As soon as I realized that Dekim�s plans were really the original Operation Meteor this is all I could think of to stop him, but it�s just taking me way to much time to get here.
Duo. How bout Wufei? Did he just become a Mariemaia soldier with the idea of blocking their plans?
Heero. No He hates such indirect approaches.
Trowa. Ok. We�re done.
Duo. This is Duo...
_____________________________________________________________
Sally. Are you positive about that?
Noin. You guys stopped Operation Meteor?
_____________________________________________________________
Zechs. This is Wind. I�m destroying MO3.
Dekim. You were a little late. See you again.
_____________________________________________________________
Trowa. Heero, we were to late.
Heero. Don�t worry about it. At least we were able to save the colony.
Soldiers. We�ve got you completely surrounded. Come ou with your hands up.
Trowa. It�s over.
Duo. Not necessarily. I got some mail from Quatre.
Quatre (mail). Hello, this is Quatre. I have just redirected the resource disposal satellite towards the Earth. It should reach the Earth�s orbit within the next 24 hours.
Heero. Hey Duo. Send Quatre a message. Tell him to send Wing Zero in the HES-88 direction.
Duo. You kidding?
Heero. I�ll pick up Wing Zero in space. It�ll save time that way.
Soldiers. Open the door! Open it now!
Heero. Duo I have another favor to ask you.
Duo. What�s the matter, huh? You�re suddenly asking me all these favors.
Heero. Hit me now.
Duo. What? Have you gone crazy?
Soldiers. Never mind! Tear down the door!
Heero. Hurry up!
Duo. Ok. You asked for it. I�ll give you my best punch!\ (Heero punches Duo) Why...why...why in the...
Heero. For your own good. That�s one for one. (hands Duo to Trowa) He�s all yours now.
Trowa. Right.\ Don�t worry I�ve already taken care of them. But they prevented the colonies instability.
Soldiers. Hold it! Freeze! Stop!
_____________________________________________________________
Noin. Ah...Zechs.
_____________________________________________________________
Zechs. Is that you Noin?
Noin. I�ve come to pick you up Zechs.
Zechs. Thanks. So Noin, how have you been?
Noin. Good. Zechs, it�s been 1 year and 2 days.
