Part 111: Post-Intermission

: Alright... What about Garrod and the GX?

: Garrod's in intensive care in the infirmary. As for the GX, the machine itself hasn't apparently taken much damage, but...



: Yes, sir...

: (.........) And we've lost Tifa, as well... This has cost us dearly...

: ...Yes, sir......

[SCENE CHANGE]



: He's sustained considerable injuries, but his life's in no danger. The deepest wound may be the wound he took to his heart when he lost to that Newtype.

: (.........)

: It was the same for us, but we just chalked it up to a difference in power.

: (.........)

: And, even worse... Garrod still doesn't know that Tifa's been abducted...

: When he wakes up, that'll be a double whammy, huh.

: I can only hope he doesn't throw a fit like before...

: I'd much prefer that, actually.

: Why?

: There is a distinct possibility that the trauma over what happened could render him unable to pilot a mobile suit.

: HIM? No way...

: There is a precedent for that, you know.

: (.........)

: (A precedent? Could he mean...)

: Anyway, what are we gonna do about that Newtype now?

: ! Wait a sec... His MS's weapons... They seemed an awful lot like the Qubeley's Funnels.

: Oh yeah... Now that you mention it...

: (.........)

: If they can use similar weapons, then does that mean...



: (.........)

Tex gets a call from the Bridge.

: It's me.

: This is Sarah. The Captain would like you to report to the bridge immediately...

: On my way.

[SCENE CHANGE]



: Yeah. I've been considering it for a while, but now I think we don't have any other choice... The Satellite Cannon's nice and all, but it's too strong... And too limited in when you can use it.

: (.........)

: To say nothing of the fact that the last attack rendered the GX's Satellite Cannon useless. So I figure this is the perfect occasion to add on some extra parts while it's under repair.

: (.........) ...Alright, I'll allow it.

: Alright! Okay, I'll get started on it right away!



: Yes... I have a favor to ask of both of you.
