Chapter.13 Commander

Across the park, beyond the trees that hadn’t been burned away, Hathaway could see the Gustav Karl thrusting its beam rifle at Gauman’s stumbling Messer 2 from both sides. It looked to him like a fight not between two mobile suits but between two people. One of them, having gone down, was on the defensive, and the other, with the upper hand, was pressing that advantage to keep their opponent in check. It was a behavior that was extremely reminiscent of humans themselves.

Gauman’s mobile suit lifted its remaining working manipulator as a sign of submission, the other hanging to the ground.

“…”

Hathaway froze at the sound of the Kimberley Forces’ Base Jabber descending onto the park’s highest field. He didn’t like the idea of facing them right now, but with Gigi there, it couldn’t be helped. Gigi turned back towards Hathaway, sobbing heavily, as she pulled back the hair clinging to her face.

“Is the Captain not coming…?”

Gigi stuttered as she spoke, and Hathaway saw a figure that looked like Gauman stepping out of the Messer’s cockpit.

“Someone’s coming out of the Messer…”

“It’s all over…”

Gigi dropped to the ground as the strength left her body. As the pilot exited the Messer, his hands raised, the morning sun struck him from the side, casting a large shadow on the mobile suit behind him. Across from him, the other pilot similarly stepped out from his cockpit, his mobile suit making contact with the Messer.

The Base Jabber, with its advanced VTOL capabilities, landed on top of the hill in an almost completely vertical motion, unleashing strong air currents from its nozzle upon Hathaway and Gigi.

“…”

Gigi tucked her shoulders in to endure the wind pressure.

“This our first Mufti prisoner! Make sure he doesn’t get hurt!”

As someone shouted from the Base Jabber, several soldiers came dashing out and ran towards the mobile suits, showing no interest in Hathaway or Gigi.

“It’s f-f-freezing…”

Gigi fixed the front of her night gown, her upper body shaking from the cold, and Hathaway threw a jacket across her back.

“Hathaway! Gigi! You guy’s are alive?!”

“Captain…”

This reunion meant increasing danger for Hathaway, but he couldn’t afford to make a move right now. Gigi came home safe last night as well, in a good mood, retiring to her bedroom. If he tried to run away now, it would only make him look suspicious.

“Captain!”

When Gigi saw Kenneth walking down the gangplank of the Base Jabber, she lifted herself onto her feet, unsteadily, dropping Hathaway’s jacket to the ground.

The thought of escape kept running through Hathaway’s mind as he picked up his jacket, but to keep up appearances, he began walking towards Kenneth.

“Are you hurt?”

“Ah, no need to worry.”

As Hathaway answered, he put his jack back on, and Kenneth ran over to the staggering Gigi and caught her in his arms.

“Captain, I was so scared! I was so scared…”

Gigi turned her back to Kenneth, as if to invite him to comfort her.

“It must have been terrifying…I amazed you got away. The hotel was attacked as well, wasn’t it?”

Kenneth caressed Gigi’s back as he listened to Hathaway’s reply.
