The Victoria Nightmare
At Victoria Base, Lieutenant Noin is training her soldiers in Taurus suits.
Zechs heads to Victoria to speak with Noin. While he is there, Otto calls to
inform him it will be at least another month before Tallgeese is ready, and
that the suit is far more advanced than they had originally assumed.
In the middle of the night, Wufei attacks Victoria Base. The pilots
barracks explode. Noin is furious that the enemy attacked the soldiers and
not the mobile suits. She takes command of the mobile suit troops and heads
out after the enemy. She finds Wufei escaping on a dirt bike and fires at
him. He is thrown from the bike and stands to surrender. Realizing that she
is a woman and has underestimated him, Wufei blinds her with an explosion
and continues his escape.
Reinforcements arrive with the space laser as per Noin's orders, but Wufei
has already reached his Gundam. Shenlong attacks and destroys the suits
carrying the laser. Noin charges him, but he cripples her mobile suit as
well. He then uses the space laser to destroy a carrier full of Aries suits
trying to get away from Victoria. He turns on a furious Miss Noin. "Are you
listening to me woman? Huh? You saw that I was just a kid and you
underestimated me. You're a weak soldier. I don't fight bleeding hearts or
women."
Heero and Duo set to the task of repairing their Gundams. Heero refuses
the help of Duo's mechanics and works through the night to fix his Gundam
for a mission the following morning. A surprised Duo finds Heero took parts
off of Deathsythe to fix his Gundam. He vows to get Heero back for his
sabotage.
The Alliance decides that the Gundams were sent by the colonies to start a
war and agree to increase the presence of military force in outer space.
Treize Kushranada orders Lady Une to eliminate Vice Foreign Minister
Dorlin.
Trowa spends a few peaceful moments with Quatre before heading off to
another mission.
Noin asks Zechs if she can go with him to become stronger. Zechs eagerly
agrees to accept Noin at his side.
