Narrator: Generations ago, with a great dream for the future...humankind departed from planet earth, seeking a life on space colonies. But as time went by, the World Federation brought the colonies under its control...one after another using its overwhelming military power in the name of peace and justice. After Colony, Year 195... The beginning of Operation Meteor... It was a secret operation by a few colonies which tried to stand against the Federation. The operation was to secretly smuggle specially camouflaged combat weapons onto the earth. However, the operation had been detected by Federation leaders... Episode 4: THE NIGHTMARE AT VICTORIA 0:26:43.97 0:26:46.29 FO0f3vb A report from the Corsica Base just came in. 0:26:46.42 0:26:50.99 FO0f3vb There is no more signs of the enemy at the site.

Fame makes you a visible target for enemies. 0:27:18.85 0:27:22.75 FO0f3vbCF1 It also makes your colleagues expext too much from you. 0:27:23.32 0:27:27.21 FO0f3vb Sometimes fame is good.\nI wonder what I'm famous for...? 0:27:27.82 0:27:31.52 FO0f3vbCF1 You are famous for your excellence in educating and training space pilots. 0:27:31.65 0:27:34.20 FO0f3vbCF1 Your graduates are always regarded as the best. 0:27:34.84 0:27:39.21 FO0f3vbCf1 But, Noin, you used to hate war. How come a person like you became such an excellent instructor at the Academy? 0:27:40.86 0:27:50.03 FO0f3vb I am honoured that you remember I dislike war. I just... like space... 0:27:55.71 0:27:58.50 FO0f3vbCF1 The simulator is now reaching Zero-G. 0:27:58.73 0:28:02.16 FO0f3vb Alright. Begin the final check-up for the Mobile Suits now! 0:28:02.29 0:28:03.07 FO0f3vb Yes, sir. 0:28:07.94 0:28:11.57 FO0f3vb What are you doing? How can you afford to be confused when the speed is this slow? 0:28:11.70 0:28:14.56 FO0f3vb You've got to know the locations of all friendly units using all the senses you've possess! 0:28:14.72 0:28:18.35 FO0f3vb Lt. Zechs will be here soon! We won't show him such an embarrassment! 0:28:18.49 0:28:21.55 FO0f3vb Lt. Zechs will be here? Right! I'll try harder. 0:28:21.78 0:28:22.75 FO0f3vb Alright then. 0:28:23.36 0:28:27.09 FO0f3vbCF15 Zechs... It's been a year and 22 days... 0:28:46.64 0:28:48.09 FO0f3vb So it did disappear, then? 0:28:48.22 0:28:52.49 FO0f3vb Yes. It was the only Mobile Suit which we knew the exact location of. 0:28:52.63 0:28:54.74 FO0f3vb But we lost its location right after it crossed the equator. 0:28:54.88 0:28:57.19 FO0f3vb I bet its objective is Noin's Taurus'. 0:28:57.33 0:28:59.21 FO0f3vb The Federation Armed Forces are so careless. 0:28:59.38 0:29:05.02 FO0f3vb These days, even children know that Taurus' are being built at Victoria Base. 0:29:05.73 0:29:11.58 FO0f3vb And I'm visiting there... Only Noin could welcome such double trouble. 0:29:12.48 0:29:15.61 FO0f3vb You two were classmates at the Victoria Academy, right, Sir? 0:29:15.74 0:29:17.02 FO0f3vb How did you know that? 0:29:17.15 0:29:18.60 FO0f3vb Everyone knows that. 0:29:18.73 0:29:24.44 FO0f3vb You two still hold the highest, and the second highest marks in the Victoria Academy's history. 0:29:24.61 0:29:27.70 FO0f3vb And you, Sir, have the highest mark. 0:29:28.85 0:29:34.32 FO0f3vb Because she always sought second place. She provided me the opportunities for the great honour. 0:29:34.46 0:29:37.18 FO0f3vb And I guess I'm in need of her help again. 0:29:46.65 0:29:50.62 FO0f3vb Zechs Merquise... no, Peacecraft... 0:29:50.85 0:29:53.10 FO0f3vb Come back to me. 0:29:57.94 0:30:02.82 FO0f3vb You are graduating this Academy today. You all did well. I congratulate all of you. 0:30:03.25 0:30:07.79 FO0f3vb From now on, you are proud members of the Specials. 0:30:25.33 0:30:29.23 FO0f3vb These are your machines. And these are also the target of our enemy. 0:30:29.36 0:30:32.45 FO0f3vb Therefore, here is your first mission as commanding officers in OZ. 0:30:32.58 0:30:34.47 FO0f3vb Get all these machines off this base immediately! 0:30:34.60 0:30:37.83 FO0f3vb But can't the transportation unit take care of that? 0:30:41.12 0:30:43.94 FO0f3vb I did not train a soldier who cannot take care of his own machine. 0:30:44.08 0:30:48.04 FO0f3vb I repeat! This is urgent! Get them off this base! 0:30:59.83 0:31:01.68 FO0f3vb When can you get all the Taurus' out of here? 0:31:01.82 0:31:04.37 FO0f3vb By tomorrow morning, 0700 hours. 0:31:04.51 0:31:05.85 FO0f3vb That's really tight. 0:31:05.98 0:31:10.12 FO0f3vb I've heard the Gundams do not show up on radar, so I've increased the number of personnel on watch. 0:31:10.25 0:31:13.31 FO0f3vb Right decision. Good job. 0:31:13.44 0:31:16.90 FO0f3vb Thank you for the compliment, Lt. Zechs. 0:31:16.94 0:31:20.93 FO0f3vb Call me Zechs, Noin.\nBut, what a cafeteria this is! 0:31:22.08 0:31:26.28 FO0f3vb The cadets are all very young.\nThese kind of things are necessary. 0:31:27.72 0:31:30.51 FO0f3vb Don't get too attached to them.\nIt makes it difficult to let go. 0:31:30.65 0:31:36.19 FO0f3vb Thank you for your concern. But the soldiers I trained are never going to die. 0:31:36.32 0:31:42.67 FO0f3vb They are not trained to die. I believe the value of human life is not comparable to war. 0:31:43.21 0:31:47.68 FO0f3vb I've seen my men die many times.\nNoin, I have to disagree with you. 0:31:48.32 0:31:51.81 FO0f3vb Any kind of operation that risks anyone's life should be considered flawed in the first place. 0:31:51.95 0:31:56.32 FO0f3vb It is unfair for soldiers to die in a operation where everyone can anticipate casualties. 0:32:00.55 0:32:01.69 FO0f3vb It's Noin. 0:32:03.61 0:32:06.33 FO0f3vb Zechs, it's Lt.

That's good news.\nThank you for all your efforts. 0:32:56.83 0:32:57.94 FO0f3vb What? What happened?! 0:32:58.07 0:33:01.87 FO0f3vb An enemy attack!

Kill them all! 0:33:22.47 0:33:25.86 FO0f3vb Enemy Mobile Suits may be around! The Leo Unit is to advance! 0:33:25.99 0:33:28.78 FO0f3vb The enemy has to be close! 0:33:31.47 0:33:32.88 FO0f3vb Is Lt. Zechs alright? 0:33:33.02 0:33:35.77 FO0f3vb The South Wing is undamaged.\nHe said he'd be right over. 0:33:35.91 0:33:36.85 FO0f3vb Alright. 0:33:36.98 0:33:40.21 FO0f3vb The enemy's objective must be to destroy the Taurus'. Get them off this base! 0:33:40.34 0:33:43.30 FO0f3vb It'll take at least 30 minutes to put them in a cargo plane! 0:33:43.43 0:33:46.25 FO0f3vb OK. For the next half an hour, we can't allow the enemy to attack us! 0:33:46.39 0:33:48.64 FO0f3vb I will take command of the Mobile Suit unit! 0:33:48.94 0:33:49.92 FO0f3vb There is no enemy response on the radar! 0:33:50.05 0:33:51.70 FO0f3vb Everything is normal here. 0:33:51.83 0:33:53.31 FO0f3vb Power plant area, everything is normal. 0:33:59.29 0:34:01.34 FO0f3vb It's like there's no enemy at all. 0:34:06.82 0:34:09.50 FO0f3vb Where did it go? 0:34:09.67 0:34:12.13 FO0f3vb Turn all the thermal sensors on the base on! 0:34:16.49 0:34:18.91 FO0f3vb There it is! Anyone available, join me! 0:34:19.01 0:34:22.10 FO0f3vb Prepare the Aries'! Chase the enemy! 0:34:33.73 0:34:36.49 FO0f3vbCF1 Stop! Or I'll shoot you! 0:34:36.89 0:34:39.31 FO0f3vb There's no way you can get away from me. 0:34:39.54 0:34:41.53 FO0f3vb Are there anymore...?\nThe Gundam! 0:34:45.66 0:34:49.72 FO0f3vb There's a chance of a Gundam in that direction. Prepare the Space Beam Cannon! 0:34:50.19 0:34:53.32 FO0f3vbCF1 But it's not designed for a ground battle. 0:34:53.45 0:34:56.21 FO0f3vb Never mind that! One shot is all I need! 0:35:01.65 0:35:03.33 FO0f3vb Noin is chasing the enemy? 0:35:04.10 0:35:07.63 FO0f3vb Are you heading for that forest ahead of you? I won't let you! 0:35:26.58 0:35:30.61 FO0f3vbCF1 Stop, you dirty conspirator!

Let's destroy them all! 0:41:43.61 0:41:48.11 FO0f3vb Those colonies wish to make peace with the Federation more than anyone. 0:41:48.24 0:41:51.03 FO0f3vbjr We want to have peace, too. 0:41:51.17 0:41:54.06 FO0f3vbjr I don't see the colonies as seeking any peaceful solutions, though. 0:41:54.43 0:41:55.70 FO0f3vb They do! 0:41:55.84 0:41:58.52 FO0f3vb It all started when the Federation Armed Forces brought the colonies... 0:41:58.66 0:42:00.78 FO0f3vb ...under their control by using massive military power. 0:42:00.91 0:42:02.96 FO0f3vbjl Is that all you have to say here? 0:42:03.09 0:42:05.85 FO0f3vbjl Are you a spy for the rebels, trying to sabotage us or something? 0:42:06.02 0:42:07.43 FO0f3vb What are you saying? 0:42:07.73 0:42:13.14 FO0f3vb Thank you for sharing your opinion.
