Chapter Two: Aftermath

Kira entered Lacus Clyne's office and sat down in the chair in front of her desk. Lacus was playing with her haro and didn't even realize Kira had come in. Excuse me Lacus, I'm here to report what happened on Heliopolis.said Kira.

Lacus replied Alright Kira, go ahead and give me your report.

Kira began Well, the attack started at 0700 hours when an attack force consisting of GINNs entered the colony. At this point the civilians of Heliopolis were evacuated to their shelters. I believe the attack force was lead by none other than Rau La Creseit. I engaged in combat with him where I damaged his CGUE and he retreated. I proceeded to engaged the remaining GINNs who were attacking the warehouse where the five prototypes were being kept. After our reinforcements arrived, the remaining ZAFT forces retreated. However, four of the five earth alliance prototypes were successfully stolen. The remaining prototype is the GAT-X105 Strike. It still remains in the warehouse and its uncertain what the EA forces and Orb plan to do about it. Thankfully, civilian casualties were kept to a minimum.

Lacus responded I see, the fact that Orb was brought into this war is sad but seemingly unavoidable. We will offer all the help we can in getting the civilians back to their regular lives.

What do you suppose will be the fallout from this event. asked Kira.

Lacus replied I guess it depends how Orb handles it. It is possible ZAFT will declare war on Orb or the other way around. I don't believe Orb will be the one who declares war, but after this anything is possible.

They turned on the monitor as Orbs Chief Representative was about to address this matter. The man on the screen said Today has been one of pain. I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to the people of my nation and especially to the people of Heliopolis. For the mistakes I have made, I'd like to say that they are unforgivable. I will also use this opportunity to announce that I am stepping down as the chief representative of Orb.

Later, it was announce that ZAFT will not declare war on Orb over this event. Also, it was found out that the earth alliances new assualt ship the Archangel had taken the GAT-X105 Strike and left Heliopolis. Their destination is unsure, but Kira believed they were heading to the EA lunar base. He and Lacus decided they should keep and eye on the Archangel while not interferring.
