Athren Zala and Cagalli Yula Athha watched the footage taken by one of Z.A.F.T's supply ships as the Athena was seemingly dragged into a spatial could of some sort and vanished with a frown on their faces along with many others from both the Plants and ORB union as his sister and her ship vanishing had caused an uproar among the Plants and the ORB Union for Z.A.F.T and the Plants it was mostly the lost of his sister who had from studying her genetic design doctors had managed to cure the issue with lowering birth rates among the 2nd and 3rd generation Coordinators causing her to be a natinal hero as a result, for the ORB union it was the potential lose of the ship's crew along with the fact that many are betting Cagalli and Athren'll get together meaning the protental sister-in-law to their leader was M.I.A.

Emerald opened the ships, ship wide comms as the Athena starts to shake as it enters the planets atmosphere.

"All hands brace yourselves as without engines the Athena is about to undergo a uncontrolled atmospheric entry...may god help keep us safe" Emerald says as she cuts the comm line and straps herself into her captains chair as the Athena starts to shake violently as the underside of the ship starts to heat up as the planets gravity increases the ships speed and the last thing herd throughout the ship as the Athena crashed into the water before bringing up on a beach would be the sound of metal tearing and bulkheads snapping.

{Time skip: 6 months}

Emerald sighed as she looked at the wreckage that was once the Athena before placing a flower on a stone that marked the graves of the crew memebrs that died ether from the crash or the injuries they received from the crash before she turned to Sable who had to use a cane to help support her weight on her right leg.

"Emerald we've managed to get that strange shipyard powered up" Sable says causing the 14 year old Z.A.F.T captain to sigh before looking at Sable.

"Let's get going then...I have a ship design that I was going to show my brother and lady Cagalli" Emerald says getting a curious look from Sable.

{Time skip: Emerald age 16}

Emerald looked out over the mostly completed ship and smiles sure it was nearly 900 meters long and 300 meters wide but she and her crew was happy with it they had also managed to decode some of the data in the shipyards data core and was happy for the new nutrition-ion generators and sub-light engines along with the hyper-drive would allow for them to travel home a lot faster, now it was only a matter of time before they was able to launch the ship along with naming it.

{Time skip: Emerald Age 18}

"All stations report in" Emerald states calmly as the now 18 year old captain who was now wearing an all black military uniform instead of a Z.A.F.T uniform much like the rest of her crew having forgone the need to show themselves as apart of Z.A.F.T until they are able to reach their home and get their ship the Celestial registered.

"Main power is online Auxiliary power on stand-by Ma'am"

"sub-light Engines and hyper-drive online and ready Ma'am"

"Communications online Ma'am"

"Artificial and Anti gravity generators are online and ready to spin up Ma'am"

"weapons are on stand-by and ready Ma'am"

"Launch bays are operational Ma'am"

"Shields online and active Ma'am"

"Sensors are online and operational Ma'am"

"Good then spin up the Anti-gravity generators and get us off of this planet " Emerald says getting a chorus of "Yes Ma'am" from the bridge crew as the ship gives a shudder as it starts to lift off from where it had been built.

"Switching to sub-light engines" the helmsman says as the inertial dampeners kick in as the ship accelerates before leaving the atmosphere of the planet.

"Let's begin our search for home people" Emerald says as the Celestial enters a hyper-space window and vanishes into it.
