WAR IN THE POCKET

The sky you see above is far away...

...but it holds more dreams than you can carry.

Yes, I want to break out of this man-made world and become free.

And because I believe...

...that you can become the wind...

...if you keep running and reach the sky.

I'll never give up forever.

So she agrees to meet me at the restaurant.

I waited two hours, two hours. I couldn't believe it.

You should take that tenacity and put it to good use.

I wasted my leave on her. Man, does that suck !

Life'll have its ups and downs, you know.

Bernie !

Al, you...

I found the mobile suit.

Who cares about a mobile suit...

A GM ?

What type ?

I don't know its name, but I got pictures of it.

\C7Over the River and \C7Through the Woods

The Riboh Colony government expressed deep regret over...

...yesterday's second treaty violation by Zion forces...

...and the Zion government's failure to respond to official protests.

Today, Parliament submitted a bill...

...prohibiting Zion ships from entering all colonies, including Riah.

The bill was approved by a wide margin.

The expulsion of all Zion ships will be completed in two days...

...according to a State Department spokesman.

Sorry, we're closed.

You deaf ? We're closed.

You have flat beer ?

That's one hell of an order.

As long as it's better than horse piss, it's fine.

I might have some in the back.

I see. Thanks.

Federation base ? That's a pretty big thing you're looking for.

They're probably using a civilian building.

It'll take time. Could you wait at the counter ?

Thanks for waiting.

No problem. You found it ?

Just the location. It looks like they've converted a factory.

Here's a map and a blueprint of the factory.

The blueprint is from before the conversion. Don't rely on it.

Thanks a lot.

Hand the letter to Steiner, will you ?

Sure.

You took still pictures ? I hope they come out.

Of course they did.

You're an optimist, aren't you ?

What's an optimist ?

Don't you ever think about failing ?

Nope.

See ?

Stupid asshole !

You tryin' to ruin the mission ?! Going off on your own...!

What if they'd caught you ?! This isn't a goddamned school field trip !

All right, you two, knock it off.

Calm down, Garcia. What's done is done.

Garcia, go to the bar again. Ask for some disguises.

Yes, sir.

Bernie, where's the kid ?

He's asleep in the car, sir.

Take him home.

Yes, sir.

Don't try anything like that again. Follow orders if you want to stay alive.

Al, we're here.

Al, you're home.

Al, wake up.

Oh, great.

Looks like him.

This one's awful.

Chris, was that the door ?

I'll get it, go back to sleep, Mom.

Let's go, we better not wake him.

I'll tell Al's mother that he came over and stayed the night.

Thank you. Well, I'll be going.

So long, Mr. Wiseman.

Ms. Mackenzie.

I, ummm...

You don't have to call me Mr. Wiseman. Please, call me ``Bernie.''

And please call me ``Chris.'' Good night, Bernie.

Good night.

Chris...

Ah, yes. G K Motor Services. Yes, we have your order.

Powered pliers, oversized drill, super high-temperature torch.

You can put a hole in a warship with this thing.

How 'bout a colony wall ?

The fuses are OK. I adjusted the circuit breakers as well.

Thanks.

Al, what're you drawing ?

A mobile suit.

Federation ?

Nope, Zion.

Geez ! Why're you drawing the enemy's mobile suit ?

What do you mean, ``enemy ?''

Don't you watch the news ?

Of course not.

What's up ?

Whatcha doing ?

Chay, he says that the Zion is our enemy.

They are. It's true, isn't it ?

Telcott, what do you think ?

The Zion are bad. Mom said so.

Is your mom always right ?

Yeah, but grownups say...

Zion is so much cooler.

Zakus are strong and GMs are so lame. They're the worst.

The strongest mobile suit is the Gundam.

What's a ``Gundam ?''

The Federation's best mobile suit. Don't you know ?

I've heard about that. It's downed over 100 Zakus, right ?

No way.

Has too.

Man, you're out of it.

Really, Zion sucks. They're garbage.

Garbage likes garbage...

Did your mom say that too ?

Calm down, Al. Man, he's been acting weird lately. He never wants to hang out.

Why don't you all sit down ? Class has started all ready, you know.

Just cut it out.

I get it. You two are boyfriend/girlfriend, huh ?

\C5Chay !

What're you talking about ?!

Well, sorry to intrude. You two have fun together, OK ?

Mind your own business !

The teacher's here.

OK, quiet down, everyone.

It's been a while, Charlie. How's the business ?

I get by.

So what do you want to talk to me about ?

You guys are decoys. They're just using you to confirm where the GM is.

I thought so.

You knew ?

I ask for a replacement and they send me some green kid.

They tell us to supply the escape ship ourselves.

You'd have to be stupid not to suspect something.

The higher-ups have another plan, don't they ?

Here are the clothes you asked for. I'll have the passports tomorrow night.

I'd run away if I were you. This war's going to be over soon.

Zion's going to lose...

Yeah.

This colony's a nice place, isn't it, Charlie ?

That was the new Gundam. It's the Federation's secret weapon.

Gundam ? The one that shot down 100 Zakus ?

How'd you know that ?

Bernie, could you beat it ?

An easy win.

``Easy win ?''

Or so I'd like to say. But we're probably even.

This Gundam thing's strong, isn't it ?

I suppose.

Did Chris ask about me, or say anything ?

Not a word.

I see...

She's with the Federation, right ?

I thought...maybe she'd have some useful information.

I'll ask her.

That might work.

The blue buildings are those thought to be related to the Federation.

The red building is the one housing the Gundam. The Federation base.

The green lines are the underground tunnels. Memorize the routes.

I've placed mobile suit weapons in three locations. Here, here, and here.

We'll blow a hole in the colony wall, here.

The hole should be big enough for a mobile suit to fly through.

I've placed more than enough explosives.

At 1800 hours, Misha's mobile suit will launch and distract the Federation.

He'll fly through the city and move to the bank opposite the base.

You mean he's going to be a decoy.

I'll be going through the city. They won't attack.

The rest of us will infiltrate the base through the underground tunnels.

I don't know if they'll deploy the Gundam.

If we can't capture it, we'll destroy it.

Regardless of the mission's outcome, we'll split up after we leave the base.

The operation commences at 1600 hours tomorrow. That's all.

Is this the first time you've worn a bullet proof vest ?

Yeah.

Bernie...

You're the only one in the unit who ranks lower than I do.

If you die, I won't have anyone to order around.

Don't die.

Bernie, I asked Chris and she's going to give me a tour of the area.

I might have a chance to sneak in again.

When ?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow ?! No, don't go !~~Not tomorrow !

Why ? This is a great chance.

Because I said so. You got that ? Don't go !

Bernie ! Bernie !

For those about to fall.

For those about to fall...?

Let's go.

Professor Dick Labunda ? Yes, he's expecting you.

He's in the second lab on the fourth floor.

Thank you !

Don't run !

Oh, this elevator is for authorized personnel only.

The visitor's elevator is over there.

There are rumors that you conduct military related research at this facility.

What we're worried about is...

Those rumors are totally irresponsible.

Your research involves mechanical arms, right ?

Couldn't the technology used in artificial limbs also be used in mobile suits ?

You can find the same technology in toasters and cannons as well.

But...

You'll have to excuse me. My next interviewer is here.

Alfred ? Hello, I'm Dick. Chris has told me about you.

You guys new here ?

Yeah, I just got here a week ago. What about you ?

I just got here, too.

You have an accent. Where're you from ? Australia ?

Yeah, born and raised in Sydney.

Sydney ? What's it like ?

It's beautiful. I bet it's all white with snow about now.

But all our weapons are anti-personnel and anti-armor.

We don't have anything to fight mobile suits.

The Federation will only act as support for the Riah army.

We have no intention of worsening our image among the colonists.

But...

You need the experience.

Bring the Gray Phantom inside. If the mobile suit gets close...

...set up a defensive line with GMs and Guncannons.

The problem is the with the processors.

These are still too big to be of any use.

Mobile suits are useful.

They're what you call a necessary evil.

They aren't used to make people happy.

This is not a drill ! All personnel to your stations !

The mobile suit is believed to be Zion.

Currently heading west on route 18-0.

Inside the colony ?

Yes, we can deploy it.

No response, sir. No change of course.

It's headed for the residential area.

Once we've evacuated the civilians, we'll commence with the attack.

Mobile suit moving at high speed toward the residential area.

\C7``I bet it's all white with snow...''

Hey, Aussie !

It's summer in Australia now !

Look, a Zion handgun !

Bernie !

Shit !

Fire !

T...th...the school !

Scarlet Unit, launch !

How's the Captain ?

He's bleeding badly. I don't think he's conscious.

Scarlet Unit destroyed, sir ! Enemy mobile suit heading toward the base !

What's the situation in the G-room ?

Firefight, sir ! We can't get to it !

Call Lt. Mackenzie.

\C7``I'm against fighting \C7inside the colony.''

``Do you mean we should hand over the Alex to the enemy ?''

Bernie, there's no capturing it now.

Take the Captain and get out of here.

I'll...destroy that thing.

Cover me.

Garcia !

Lieutenant ! It's too dangerous !

Is he injured ?

What does it look like ?!

The medical unit's over there !

Come on ! I'll show you how to fight.

Wh...what ?!

Breach in the colony wall ! Pressure decreasing rapidly !

Where's the Alex ?!

There's fog sir, I can't see anything !

That night when I lied...

...I was scared and couldn't sleep.

No matter what kind of fights we had...

...I always forgot it the very next day.

The blue of the sky...

...always made me happy...

...back when I used to believe in everything.

Not realizing that someday...

...I would lose faith in others...

...and know how lonely life could be.

246 dead, 572 injured.

They're going to destroy the colony with nuclear weapons.

People die easily, don't they ?

I'd fight.

You wouldn't run ?

You're lying !
