p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred, Illmari, Yamazin, and Dukovak arrive at the depot and leave their briefcases./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Welcome to Horikoshi Defense Corporation./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Thank you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: You're welcome. I need you to train Manfred./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: You managed to damage Salomon./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Hey, Dukovak, don't pressure her, man./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: It's her job, man. I know we have another pilot, but get to training, man. Every damage Salomon takes costs us money./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Alright./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: I'll prepare the simulator. Illmari, feel at home./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: An email from Gjallahorn, and more money./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Shit, what do we do?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I'm calling Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak calls Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Why did you sell us out, you fucking asshole?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I didn't sell you out, I gave you a recommendation. Check your bank statement properly, read the damn email, my buddy./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: What are you talking about?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Relax, primo. Read the email, call the number, and then we'll talk./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel hangs up the phone./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Miguel, you know we have a Gundam, we can kick your ass, what the hell?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: What did he say?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: He gave us a recommendation under our company's name./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Didn't he say anything else?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: No./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Shit, well, at least read the email./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak goes back to the computer and looks at the screen./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The email says:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;""Dear Dukovak Horikoshi, Gjallahorn is grateful for the release of individuals classified as human debris and the elimination of Mahmut Ali Yaprak, a human trafficker wanted by Gjallahorn and the Martian Union. That's why we grant you the amount of 2 million credits. We look forward to your future cooperation."/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: So, future cooperation./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Looks like we have more jobs./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Let me call Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak goes to the main office and calls Miguel./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: So, you gave us a recommendation under our company's name./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: What can I say, my cousin? I liked you guys./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Why did you help us?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: I saw some countrymen in trouble and decided to lend a hand./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Well, thanks for setting up the meeting with the pigs./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Miguel: Consider it a business meeting with a new partner. You relax, I'll be nervous./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Alright then./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: What did he say?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I have a business meeting with Gjallahorn. Are you coming with me?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: How did he get the contact?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I don't know. Are you coming with me? The sooner we meet with the pigs, the better./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: You leave me no choice, brat./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Let's go then. Manfred, Illmari, keep training./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak puts on his cowboy hat and leaves with Yamazin to the Gjallahorn office in Chryse./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I'll drive, you get comfortable./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Works for me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Where are we going?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Go to an office, don't you dare go to an embassy or important place./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Understood, I'll see what I say when I get there./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak drives to a Gjallahorn office and gets out of the car with Yamazin./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I'll handle the talking./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Are you sure?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Yeah./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak enters the Gjallahorn office and introduces himself at the counter./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Good afternoon, sir. I'm Dukovak Horikoshi, representative of Horikoshi Defense Corporation. I received an email saying you're expecting our future collaboration./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Clerk: I have no idea what you're talking about, sir. This isn't the department for livestock or agriculture./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: What the hell are you talking about?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Clerk: We can't make any rash decisions until the commander arrives, and I don't think he'd want to talk to a lowlife like you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Son of a bitch, don't you know who I am!/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak walks towards the door, sees a fire extinguisher, and decides to hit the glass protecting the clerk. Consequently, the glass fractures, an alarm sounds, and several officers rush towards Dukovak, arresting him./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Clerk: You're under arrest for damaging public property./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Wait, let's not rush, officer. We came because we received an email saying you were seeking collaboration with us soon./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Clerk: So, you came with the gentleman. Boys handcuff her./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin and Dukovak find themselves handcuffed in Gjallarhorn's cells./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: What do we do, Dukovak?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: We wait until the commander arrives./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak and Yamazin wait until the afternoon when a protected fleet arrives. A man steps out of it and kisses a blonde woman./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: See you later, dear./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The commander enters the station, leaving the car door open./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Corporal: We have two criminals who want to speak with you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: Why would two criminals want to speak with me?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Corporal: They claim to be representatives of a company called Horikoshi Defense Company./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: Idiot, those are not criminals. Release them immediately. You've made a serious mistake, corporal./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Corporal: Sorry for my mistake. I will release them immediately./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: Hurry up, corporal./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The corporal unlocks Yamazin and Dukovak's cells and leads them to the commander's office./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Corporal: Please forgive the mistake I have made. The commander is ready to speak with you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The corporal removes Yamazin and Dukovak's handcuffs and directs them to the commander's office. Upon arrival, the commander receives them./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: Please, take a seat./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin and Dukovak: Thank you./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: So, you are the ones who took care of eliminating Mahmut, one of the main holders of human debris remaining./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak is ready to respond when Yamazin signals to him and she speaks./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Commander, we are representatives of Horikoshi Defense Corporation. Our corporation indeed took care of eliminating Mahmut, but the pilot who did it is currently in training./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: It's a shame, I would have liked to meet him. Well, considering that you received an email from us, you'll know that we are seeking your future collaboration./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: That's why we are here, we wanted to know if you have any job for our company./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: Fortunately for you and unfortunately for us, we do have a job for you. The forces in the Persian region need reinforcements, as they are fighting against religious rebel forces in the region. The contract comes from the African Union. You will enter to provide support./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Is there any specific objective?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: Now, no. You will receive more details upon arrival./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: How much will the payment be?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: Two million for the first month, one million each month after./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: When do we leave?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: Tomorrow./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Alright then, it's a deal./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: I knew your company sent its best representatives. Would you like something to drink?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Yes, a whiskey on the rocks, and don't even think about it, Dukovak, since you're driving./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin drinks the whiskey and leaves with Dukovak from the station. Upon getting in the car, Yamazin speaks to Dukovak./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Dukovak, why didn't you talked with Manfred about this mission, considering they provided few details?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I know Manfred will accept it anyway./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: What makes you think he will accept the mission?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Because we are brothers./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: And if Manfred doesn't accept the mission, what will you do?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: I'll talk to Illmari./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: You know she won't go if Manfred says no. Have you ever wondered why Manfred does all this for you?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: No./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: He does it because he wants you to be happy, Dukovak. You should also wonder what your brother wants./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Hey, shall we go to the warehouse?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Let's go, I'm not your mother to be scolding you. I'm worried about your well-being./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: But I already told you. You're like a mother to me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin blushes./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Well... let's go, Duko./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak drives to the warehouse and upon arriving talks to Manfred./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: We've got a job./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Oh wow, where to?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Earth, in a region called New Persia./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: When do we leave?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Tomorrow./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Damn it, you don't even let us rest for a while./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Are you coming or staying?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I'm coming but let this be the last time you don't ask me, dude./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Thanks./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak hugs his brother. They all go to sleep and leave early the next day./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"They all board Gjallarhorn's ship and upon takeoff, Dukovak asks:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Will my pilots have to help with ship guards?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: No need to worry about that, Mr. Horikoshi. Our pilots will take care of it./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Dukovak: Alright then./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Illmari, I still need more training./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: At least wait until we eat, Manfred. It seems like you never get tired./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: Fine, let's eat first and then train./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Why are you in such a hurry to improve?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I have my reasons, one of them being not to die./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Illmari: Don't be so pessimistic, Manfred./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: I'm just trying to be realistic./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"During the trip, Manfred and Illmari train tirelessly, Yamazin monitors the Mobile suits, and Dukovak explores the ship making contacts./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Upon disembarking from the ship, the corporation is greeted by a man in military uniform./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Soldier: Who are the newcomers?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: This is Horikoshi Defense Corporation, they have two Mobile suits at their disposal./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Soldier: Only two Mobile suits, two men, and two women? Is this a joke?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The commander takes the soldier to a corner./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: Look, Darío, this is the best we can offer for now. See that boy with the Hawaiian shirt over there?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío: Yes, I see him, he has terrible taste./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: He might, but he wiped out Mahmut Ali Yaprak's entire Mobile suit fleet./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío: Are you kidding me?/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: No, this is your chance to keep the Persian congress stable during the regional elections. Neither of us wants the jihadists to take control of the parliament. So put on your best face. By the way, one of the women is the Mobile suit technician and the other one is also a pilot./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío: This must be a tasteless joke./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Commander: It's what we have, the higher-ups don't want to send Mobile suits. They don't see the gravity of the problem in the region./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío returns and says:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío: Welcome to New Persia, I will show you to your quarters./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío takes them to an uninhabited hangar and tells them:/span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío: This is what we can offer for now. Tomorrow, we start a patrol that goes through Baghdad and ends in Iraq. This will last for a week, so make your preparations./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Yamazin: Let's adjust the suspension of the Mobile suits. Manfred, Dukovak, Illu, help me./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The corporation members adjust and calibrate the Mobile suits to function properly on Earth. Until nightfall./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred: It's already night and I'm hungry./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío hands Dukovak and Yamazin some FAL-type rifles as they leave./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío: I hope you don't need them, but it's better to take precautions./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"The convoy sets out with two Graze-type Mobile suits provided by Gjallahorn and the two MS of Horikoshi./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Manfred's MS sheaths its sword./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío: Thank you, Manfred./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío's men open the cockpit of the MS and pull out the pilot./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío: You asked for it, dear friend./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío accompanies the two men to a cave where they sit the hooded pilot on a folding chair. Darío grabs a lever and hits the pilot's ribs./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Pilot: Ughhh./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío continues hitting the pilot./span/p

p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío continues with the torture and draws his pistol, shooting one of the pilot's knees./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Darío: This is the last time I'm asking, What's your name, who do you work for, and where are your comrades. If you want to walk again, answer us./span/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"Pilot: I'm Abdala Adrisi, my commander's base is in the foothills of Mount Dena in a small village, Mustafa Amin is my boss's name, please let me go./span/p
