The Cause of Burning

After Lowe brought the Strike Gundam back to the hangar, he immediately dragged by Kira and Murdoch, who were a little surprised, together, and told them some of his understanding and insights about this machine. He then put forward some ideas about the body; there is an excellent possibility of transformation in some places. He doesn't know if it is itchy, or it is rare to see the most advanced MS Today, and more actively ask for help to modification of Strike Gundam.

Some of Lowe's suggestions made Murdoch keep his head light, and he fully agreed with these suggestions. Kira also wanted to add something, hoping that his body can make some minor changes in some aspects, such as turning around. Hope that the flexibility can be strengthened, the three people gathered in front of a fixed panel of the hangar. They began to discuss the details of the improvement.

Xiao Ran stayed beside the three of them and did not leave, but when Lowe, Kira, and Murdoch were talking, he did not interrupt, but just stood silently by the side.

At this time, Murrue, Badgiruel, and Mu also gathered together, each sitting on the chair in the Captain's quarter. Except for Mu's thoughtful expression, the other two looked a little worried.

Badgiruel looked at the two of them saying nothing, and suddenly stood up and saluted Murrue, and shouted: "Captain, I don't understand why I agreed to Major Xiao Ran's unreasonable request. It doesn't matter if you visit the Archangel, why would a Junk Guild come to test the Strike Gundam? Did he not know that those people not only buy waste but also sell information, in case the information of Strike Gundam is leaked? How should we explain to the officers? I suggest that the charges of leaking military secrets of our army have been immediately arrested, and Major Xiao Ran and the Junk Guild named Lowe should be arrested immediately."

Before Murrue spoke, Mu looked at Badgiruel with a faint smile: "Are you sure you want to do this? Arrest them? Do you know the consequences?"

Badgiruel was silent for a while, but still replied: "The most serious consequence is that the information on the Strike Gundam and the Archangel was leaked."

"Lieutenant Badgiruel, the things are as simple as you said." Mu shrugged, shook his head and said: "I think Xiao Ran is right. Zaft has acquired the four units of the G series. Data leakage was leaked a long time ago, and what could be more thorough than stealing the mecha for research?"

"Also, if you arrest the two of them, have you ever thought that Xiao Ran might resist? What would Kira think if he hurt him in the process of resisting? He would still want to protect the Archangel wholeheartedly. Did you want to go to Alaska? Didn't you see how much Xiao Ran's weight in Kira's heart was? It can be said that on this ship, Kira didn't listen to anyone's orders and we had nothing to do, only Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran said every time In a word, Kira will take it to heart. If Xiao Ran encourages Kira to take the last unit and switch to Zaft when he goes out in the battle, can you afford the consequences?"

"What's more, I don't think people want to arrest them. Xiao Ran and the Junk Guild are not so easy to be arrested. As far as I know, the Junk Guild generally exist as a team structure. Do you think they merely collect waste and don't have any companions here? It is difficult to arrest them. If they escape or board MS, I am afraid it is not us who arrested them, but they arrested us."

"But we can't let them mess around like this." Badgiruel gritted his teeth and said unwillingly.

"The current situation is that we can't help if they want to mess around." Mu spread his hands to Badgiruel and said, "What's more, do you want the series of problems that occurred after we arrested Xiao Ran? Maybe nothing happened to him after arresting him, but should he be handed over to a military court for trial? Natarle, I believe you don't want to see such a scene, after all, Xiao Ran has helped us so much. I don't want to destroy the trust he has given us."

Badgiruel was silent, and she asked herself if she was willing to arrest Xiao Ran. She recalled the conversations with Xiao Ran, the quarrels, and Xiao Ran's talk with each other. Remembering Xiao Ran's confidence and resourceful, Badgiruel has an answer in her heart. However, she grew up in a military family, but her responsibility and honour for soldiers are not so easy to change. Badgiruel finally turned her attention to With Murrue. She hopes Murrue will make this decision.

Murrue understood the meaning of Badgiruel's eyes, and as a woman, Murrue also saw the unbearable and hesitating in Badgiruel's heart. She sighed slightly and said, "Major Mu is right. It is impossible to arrest Xiao Ran. Kira's aspect is aside for the time being. Another reason is that he has too much influence on the Archangel now. I don't know if you haven't noticed it, except for his students, everyone admires him very much, and those in the maintenance team have always felt that they owe him a favour. If he were to be arrested, it would make the Archangel personnel unstable and prone to problems."

"The second reason is that although Xiao Ran did join the Earth Alliance, it is correct to configure it on the Archangel, but aren't you forget his true identity? He is a special agent, don't you know that the special agent is working Independent and they have great autonomy rights. Except for direct reports to their superiors, no one can control other people as long as they do not pose any threat to the Earth Alliance. Where is his direct commander? He's taken prisoner, just what he did today, even if Xiao Ran wants to go to a military court, as long as he gives a reasonable explanation, he won't be tried at all."

Having said this, Murrue sighed again and said softly: "And you know, he put his life in front of me, and is willing to use his life to guarantee the character of his friend. Since he says this, I believe that Lowe should also be a trustworthy person."

Badgiruel was silent. Maybe she hadn't thought of this before, but she was also very helpless after Murrue said it. Indeed, as Murrue said, they can't control the spies at all. There is no way to control it now unless the Archangel arrives in Alaska and transfers Xiao Ran to another officer's hand. However, now the Archangel is still staying in the desert, and how far it is from Alaska, this may be useless.

We were speaking of it if Xiao Ran wanted to use the power of special agents to suppress Murrue. In some cases, Murrue had to listen to him.

"It's okay, Badgiruel." Murrue put her hands on her chin and gave her final decision: Today's incident is notified to the crew of the ship. Everyone should not have a surprise, because the Strike Gundam appeared irremediable. Luckily, Major Xiao Ran fortunately contacted a friend to inspect the Strike Gundam and the Archangel, and repair the Strike Gundam and the Archangel, understand?"

"Yes," Badgiruel replied loudly, standing upright. Although there was a little unwillingness in her heart, it was more about relaxation and rejoicing. The feeling of relief made her suddenly feel that this kind of violation is something. It is not that difficult to accept.

"It can only be so." Mu nodded, and suddenly thought of something and asked Maru: "Didn't Xiao Ran tell you why he let Lowe visit the Archangel and test the Strike Gundam? "

"No, but I think Xiao Ran has been preparing something." Murrue shook his head and whispered, "It's not hard to guess when it comes to speaking. Maybe he is preparing a way out for us, from what he said before. It should also be seen that he completely distrusts the top ranks of the Earth Alliance, and now that he has landed in such an embarrassing and dangerous place, we can be treated as abandoned children, as he said."

Sure enough, it was Murrue, who was already tempted by Xiao Ran, was not bad at guessing what Xiao Ran was thinking. Of course, except for the things Xiao Ran wanted Lowe to prepare a mecha for him, this incident was completely sudden. It's merely just a coincidence.

"Hehe, then he will keep preparing like this from now on, until the day when we become abandoned children, maybe he has already figured out where our future is. Have you already thought so far? I don't know what's going on in his head if it's true." Mu patted his head, stood up, laughed at himself, and left the Captain's room.

Seeing Mu's back, Murrue just shook her head and looked at Badgiruel: "Lieutenant Badgiruel, since you are so worried about that Junk Guild, then you should worry more during this time. You should see what they are doing."

"Yes. "Badgiruel nodded and left, but when she understood what Lowe was doing, Badgiruel finally had no thoughts to target, because after a few days, she was almost entirely new. Under Kira's piloting, the Strike Gundam once again showed tremendous strength.

In the early morning, almost all the people on the Archangel who were not on duty ran to the base of the dawn desert, singing and dancing with the people in the base, relaxing, drinking small wine and bragging, almost forgetting their situation. It's rare to be able to relax once, and Murrue didn't mean to be discouraged.

But when everyone was happy, the personnel on duty on the Archangel also discovered an inexplicable situation. It can be seen from the display that a red light that should not appear at all appeared in a place far away from here when Dalida took a closer look and was surprised to find that the place that initially belonged to the city was burning with a fierce fire.

Soon, the news reached the ears of the Archangel and Desert Dawn. The people in Desert Dawn immediately prepared their weapons after being shocked and unable to execute and began to march toward the burning city. Kira and Mu also got it. After receiving the order and cooperating with the actions of Desert Dawn, they soon pilot the Strike Gundam and the SkyGrasper in that direction.

Lowe opened his mouth for a moment after seeing the screen on display, then shook his head and yelled at Xiao Ran before leaving the Archangel: "How can you watch the city burning like this? I borrow the car for use."

Seeing everyone leaving, Xiao Ran also turned his head to the remaining SkyGrasper, shrugged and walked towards the jet, yelling: "Corporal Murdoch! I want to pilot the SkyGrasper!"

Corporal Murdoch laughed: "I prepared it for you a long time ago; I know you can't help it."
