Chapter 1862 The Father of the Past, the Son of the Future! (3K words)
After leaving the conference room, Hasavi subconsciously went to the mess hall of the Judgment Ship, when he suddenly realized something.
The warship he is currently on is not the La Keram, the flagship of Londo Bell in UC93, but the Judgment in UC87.
Although both warships were captained by his father, Brad Noah, the two warships should not be confused.
in particular···
Hasavi, standing at the entrance of the canteen, looked toward one side of the canteen.
On the wall where there was only one screen providing information about the warships and battle reports, Hassawi suddenly had a hallucination.
A scene from back then on the La Keram, where he and that girl stood on a projection screen, watching the sunset.
However, for Hassawi today, twelve years have passed.
Hathaway originally thought this would be a regret that could never be undone.
But now, in such a miraculous way, it has reappeared before his eyes.
However, just like in his memory, that girl has now become a member of Neo Zeon, following the side of Commander-in-Chief Char Aznable!
Is there anything interesting on this wall?
As Hasavi stared at the wall, somewhat lost in thought, a familiar voice came from beside him.
Hathaway was startled and turned around to see his father, Brad Noah, the current captain of the Judgment, holding two cups of coffee, one of which was being handed to him.
"Ah! Thank you. Captain Brad."
When Hathaway reached out to take it, he discovered that Brad's top button was undone.
Keep in mind, this is a very crowded canteen.
As the captain of a ship, one should maintain a dignified demeanor at this time.
"Hmm, would you be interested in talking to me?"
Brad pointed to the empty seat next to him and said.
Hasavi looked around and saw that some people had already quietly picked up their plates, put them in the recycling bin, and left in twos and threes.
Upon seeing this, Hasavi instinctively felt a sense of unease.
But a feeling of being both amused and exasperated followed.
"Hassawi, what are you doing? Standing before you is your father, Brad Noah! Even if he isn't your future father, but..."
Hasavi slowly took a breath and nodded.
"Yes, Captain Brad."
Brad smiled and gestured for Hathaway to sit down first, before sitting down opposite him.
At first, the two did not speak, but simply drank their coffee in silence.
Hasavi rubbed the warm cup between his hands, carefully considering his words before slowly speaking.
"Actually, the wall is nothing. It's just that I remembered some things, things from the past, no, things from the future for this world."
"Things about the future?"
Brad narrowed his eyes slightly, took a careful look at Hathaway, and suddenly revealed a smile that seemed to see right through Hathaway.
"Is it about girls, or rather, about relationships?"
Hasavi was startled, and his hands trembled, causing the coffee in his cup to shake.
Fortunately, considering that this is a beverage to be used in a weightless environment, the cups are mostly designed with semi-sealed packaging.
Apart from the slight ripples, no water splashed onto Hasavi's sleeves.
Feeling the warmth of the hand being shaken back and forth, Hasavi gradually revealed a bitter smile.
Shouldn't I say that your father is still your father after all?
Even when facing a son from the future, the father from the past can still see his son's troubles at a glance.
But why didn't Captain Bright Noah, who led Londo Bell and successfully stopped Neo Zeon in Hathaway's memory, see his son's distress at that time?
After thinking for a moment, Hasavi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Perhaps this is the composure one has when facing pressure?
In Hathaway's memory, Captain Bright, who led Londo Bell, faced Neo Zeon's offensive. He not only received no support from the Earth Federation Forces, but could only rely on his own strength to do his best to stop Neo Zeon's plan.
Under such immense pressure, watching those asteroids fall towards Earth, even the legendary Captain Brad Noah could hardly spare a moment to pay attention to his son's struggles with adolescence.
Now, the man sitting in front of him, Brad Noah, who belongs to the past, has gained the favor of Colonel Ming of the Punishment Force, and even has Generals Rebil and Tiam standing behind him.
With such ample support, Brad Noah now has more leeway to deal with any changes in the world.
Perhaps that's why Brad Noah could see right through his son's troubles from the future.
"Captain Brad. You guessed right."
As countless thoughts raced through Hassawi's mind, he ultimately chose to be selective in his confession. "There's no need to feel ashamed. No one can escape the hurdle of emotions."
When a look of "I knew it" flashed across Brad's eyes, he also spoke up to comfort Hassawi.
This scene made Hasavi feel increasingly...absurd.
To outsiders, this appears to be a scene of the captain showing concern for and encouraging his subordinates.
However, in Hassawi's view, he was not only a subordinate, but also a son from the future, whose identity could not be revealed for the time being.
This feeling made Hasavi feel suffocated, but he was helpless.
"Thank you, Captain Brad."
Hasavi sighed and shifted his gaze to the wall.
"In my era, a major crisis known as the Second Neo Zeon War occurred. The person who triggered this crisis was Char Aznable, who lived during that time. He united the remnants of Zeon, named them Neo Zeon, and then led them to launch a plan called Operation Cold Earth."
"During the process of stopping the Earth's cooling operation, arranged by my mother, I met a girl on my journey to space..."
"Her name is Quess... Quess Paraya."
"We met when we were caught up in the battle between the Earth Federation Forces and Neo Zeon, and we boarded the ship together..."
Hassavi paused, glanced at Brad subtly, and then again vaguely omitted La Keram's name, using the general term "Earth Federation Forces warship" to describe him.
This was something that Brad could not hide from him, but Brad believed that it was because Hathaway was unwilling to reveal too much about the future, which could lead to some uncontrollable events, so he reasonably chose to acquiesce.
Little did he know, Hathaway simply didn't want Brad to know too much about Lund Bell and La Keram.
Otherwise, Hassawi would have the illusion that Captain Brad Noah, who was standing before him, might be his father from the past who could see through something.
As he listened to Hathaway's story, Brad gradually understood what was troubling Hathaway.
"So, in your timeline, that girl has already died, but left an unforgettable memory in your heart, causing you to sink deeper and deeper into despair, almost to the point of being described as having PTSD symptoms."
Brad slightly turned his cup and looked at Hassawi, asking.
"Is it right?"
Hasavi's face twitched a few times, then he nodded silently.
"Yes."
"So, don't you think this is an opportunity, Mafti? Since you have left regrets in your timeline, in this chaotic and complex timeline, you may have a chance to make amends or remedy those regrets."
A hint of encouragement gradually appeared in Brad's eyes.
"what?"
Hasavi was taken aback.
Seeing Hathaway's expression, Brad gradually revealed a smile.
"What? You left behind irreparable regrets in your youth, but were given a chance to make up for them in your young adulthood. Isn't that a gift from fate, Mafti?"
Hearing Brad's words, Hassawi's mouth opened slightly, and a look of shock gradually appeared in his eyes.
"Or are you saying that now that you've grown into a young man, you're not as brave as you were when you were a boy, daring to pilot a mobile suit into the battlefield to find Quais's Mafty?"
Brad's teasing startled Hassawi, who quickly replied.
"No. I... I didn't mean that, Captain Brad. But... is this really okay? We..."
Just as Brad was about to explain and encourage Hassawi to muster his courage, CIC, who was on duty on the bridge, suddenly walked into the mess hall and quickly went to Brad's side.
"Captain Brad. Urgent telegram from Colonel Ming! Requires this ship to immediately accompany General Reibell's Magellan Fleet to the designated orbit around the Super-Earth and await orders!"
After receiving the note containing the urgent telegram from the CIC, Brad casually opened it, glanced at it, and nodded solemnly.
"Reply to Colonel Ming. The Trial Ship will obey orders and depart immediately."
After saying that, Brad stood up, patted Hathaway on the shoulder, and laughed.
“You see, life is so wondrous. While you are hesitating, fate has already given you a choice. Take this time to think it through carefully and see if you can seize the opportunity to make up for the regrets of the past, Lieutenant Mafty.”
Hassawi was truly stunned.
How could things take such a dramatic turn?
When he was struggling to make a decision, fate surprisingly granted him the option to choose!
Could it be that, as Brad said, he must seize this opportunity to make up for the regrets of the past?
"Quis, Quis Paraya, are you really in Neo Zeon, in Sweet Springs, by the side of Commander-in-Chief Char Aznable?"
