The Envoy Group in the Reef Space!
Chapter 1637 The Mission in the Reef Space!
The lunar vicinity, the reef region.
A civilian spacecraft dispatched by PLANT for a visit and a Nazca-class spaceship are carefully hidden in this reef region.
Two MS squads composed of Zaku warriors were also on guard around the area, providing cover for the maintenance crew to carry out emergency repairs on the spaceship and the Nazca-class space battleship.
Despite the maintenance team's best efforts in repairing much of the damage to the spaceship and Nazca-class battleship, the unknown surroundings, coupled with the recent news brought back by the MS team that had ventured out to investigate, caused everyone considerable anxiety.
"Envoy Durandal. The situation is not optimistic. The monsters we encountered before are still lingering near this reef region. I'm afraid we'll have to fight those monsters again before we try to leave this region."
Against the backdrop of his ZAFT white uniform, Diego's dark skin drew attention, but as the commander of the escorting envoy, he was even more impossible to ignore.
"Yes, Captain Elsman. You take charge of the arrangements! I have faith in your abilities."
As PLANT's official goodwill ambassador, but in reality a pioneer of the Solar System Human Innovation Alliance, Durandal knew how heavy the responsibility on his shoulders was, and therefore, he was prepared to give everything for it at any time.
Sitting in the VIP cabin of the spaceship, Durandal calmly looked out the porthole at the scattered rocks and asteroids of all sizes drifting in the void.
We are now able to catch our breath thanks to the reefs formed by the man-made debris and asteroids.
"Captain Elsman, has the distress message been answered?"
Durandal thought for a moment, then asked again.
"No. We haven't received it yet. But I suspect the Earth Federation Forces (UC) have already started to mobilize. After all, when we were attacked, this space region also seemed to have been invaded by those monsters."
"A dimensional tremor?"
Durandal recalled the strange activity that occurred before the attack.
Despite being in space, the dimensional quake still caused a commotion.
The swaying of the ship and the constant wailing of alarms nearly drove most of the delegation to the brink of collapse.
"Yes. Dimensional quake. We just received a signal from our home planet. It warns us to be on high alert for dimensional quakes and that if we encounter a dimensional beast, we must do everything in our power to protect ourselves and await rescue from the Earth Federation Forces (UC)."
After Diego recounted all the information he had received, he waited for Durandal's response.
"Then let's follow the instructions from home, Captain Elsman. If the situation allows, we'll stay here and wait for rescue. If we can't hold out, we'll break out towards the moon!"
"Yes! I'll arrange it right away!"
"please!"
After Diego left, Durandal leaned back in his chair again and looked out the porthole.
It seems that Diego is still unaware of the meaning behind this message from PLANT.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have shown such caution.
On the surface, this message was meant to urge the delegation to remain cautious and await rescue, but in reality, it was telling Durandal not to worry, as someone was already on their way to their rescue. Moreover, it might even be someone they knew.
"Chairman Klein. As expected of Siegel's daughter. It seems that, without our knowledge, the big shot behind Chairman Klein has already begun to make arrangements for this super-Earth."
After sighing inwardly, Durandal casually took a book from the small bookshelf next to him and slowly began to read it.
Since the rescue is about to arrive, there is no need to panic.
Near the Reef Space Region, the vanguard fleet, led by the Alexander-class Gaudran, sped along and finally spotted the Reef Space Region ahead, and the monsters surrounding it—cosmic BETAs. "No matter how many times I see them, I still think those monsters are more disgusting than dimensional beasts!"
Sitting in the cockpit of the specially equipped sniper GM, Nana covered her eyes and waved her hands repeatedly as she spoke.
"Hahaha! Nana! When you use the sniper scope later, you'll see even more clearly! At that time, won't you throw up on the spot?!"
Mike, the assault operative, laughed heartily and kept teasing him.
"Nonsense! It was sniper Nana who appeared back then! She would never be disgusted by these ugly monsters!"
Nana snorted and retorted without hesitation.
"Oh, right, right! Sniper Nana! Let's see how you do!"
Listening to the banter between her teammates, Christina's lips curled up slightly, but her gaze remained fixed on the golden-horned, black-armored Banshee Gundam.
The mission this time was very simple: to rescue the PLANT diplomatic mission trapped in the reef space area as quickly as possible.
Apart from that, the situation on the ground was under the command of He Ming, who was disguised as Colonel Ming.
Ever since He Ming and Banshee Gundam arrived on this ship, there have always been busybodies who gather in the hangar to look at the Banshee Gundam from afar, which is different in style from the surrounding mobile suits and is even more beautiful and eye-catching, and chat about everything under the sun.
If the Banshee Gundam hadn't prohibited anyone except He Ming and the Anaheim Electronics Technology Corporation's logistics and technical team from approaching it, someone would probably have already gone over to get a closer look at the mysterious gold-horned, black-armored mobile suit.
"All units! This is our first battle. I do not wish to issue orders without knowing you all. Therefore, in this battle, please follow behind the Banshee Gundam, break through the enemy's blockade, and support the diplomatic mission."
"Wait! Colonel Ming. According to the radar scan of the Gaudran, there are at least two thousand dimensional monsters ahead. It is not a good choice to rashly break away from the warship's fire support and attempt a breakout."
Christina quickly reminded her.
"Yes, Captain Christina, you're right. But things can always change. Just follow behind the Banshee Gundam. As for the battleship's fire support, General Reibill will arrange it."
He Ming acknowledged Christina's reminder but still insisted on his own plan.
"All aircraft! Approaching maximum engagement range! Enemy battleship-class BETA exhibiting high-energy reaction! All aircraft, prepare for sortie!"
"learn!"
"understand!"
"Roger that!"
Upon hearing that they had made contact with the enemy, everyone tensed up and looked at the gate ahead.
"boom!!"
Amidst a violent tremor, the gates opened, revealing a pitch-black void illuminated by beams of light, and in the distance, the Reef Space Region surrounded by tens of thousands of BETAs of all sizes.
As the frontline commander, He Ming took the lead and piloted the Banshee onto the launch pad.
"Ming, Banshee Gundam! Launch!"
