Narration: Half a century has passed since mankind began sending its burgeoning 
population into space. Huge artificial cities orbiting the earth have become mankind's second birthplace. There, people bore their children, grew up, and died.
Narration: In the year 0079 of the Universal Century, Side 3, the furthest space colony from the earth, has declared itself the Duchy of Zeon and began a war for independence from the Earth Federation.
Narration: After more than a month of battle, both the Duchy of Zeon and the Earth Federation have lost half of their total populations. People were horrified by the deeds they caused.
Narration: Since then, the war has entered a stalemate and 8 months have passed.

Title: Attack the Enemy's Supply Ship!

Narration: Luna 2. It is an asteroid that was brought out of the orbit of the moon to supply the mineral resources necessary for building the space colonies.

Captain: When you make contact with Luna 2, use my name to obtain permission to dock there.
Captain: I'll leave the rest to Commandant Watkain...
Bright: Please rest now... and take a painkiller...
Captain: No, I'm all right.
Kikka: Here's your supply of canned food!
Flau: How many people are in here?
Man: 7, I think.
Woman: Excuse me, I asked some hot water for milk...
Kikka: Here it is!
Man: When will we arrive at Luna 2?
Flau: We'll be there in about an hour.
Woman: When will we get our food rations?
Sayla: It's coming very soon.
Bright: Sayla.

Bright: Where did you live before coming to Side 7?
Sayla: Do I have to answer that?
Bright: No, you don't...
Sayla: I lived on Earth.
Bright: Actually, this is the first time I've been in space.
Sayla: So, you're one of elite, are you?
Bright: Are you being sarcastic?
Sayla: Bright, you mustn't show your nervousness.

Sayla: I'll take your place. All I have to do is watch the dashboard, right?
Mirai: Thanks. I'll be back when we have to land.
Sayla: All right.
Marker: It is following us from behind.
Mirai: I think it's only a matter of time...
Bright: Time?
Mirai: Until Char attacks us again.

Char: A Papua supply ship? Such an antiquated ship can't bring enough supplies to us...
Dozzle: Think of our present situation.
Char: But, sir...
Dozzle: We don't have as many supplies as we used to.
Dozzle: Char, I sent you 2 Zakus. Get the Federation's top-secret information, even if your Musai is destroyed in the process.
Char: Yes, sir.
Char: We requested 3 Zakus and we couldn't even get them all...
Char: And we are facing an enemy mobile suit with unknown capabilities.

Flau: Amuro, Amuro!
Flau: Where are you?
Ryu: Flau Bow, he's in the Gundam cockpit.
Flau: Again?
Flau: Amuro, I brought you food and clothes.
Flau: You'll start to smell if you don't change.
Amuro: Mmm-hmm.
Flau: Amuro, you've skipped 2 meals.
Flau: You need to eat something.
Amuro: I don't want to eat.
Flau: You shouldn't worry so much about what Bright said to you.
Amuro: That's got nothing to do with this.
Amuro: I'm only doing this because I don't want to die.
Flau: Oh? Are you sure?
Amuro: Yes, I am.

Mirai: I wonder why Char's Musai hasn't attacked us again.
Bright: I suppose it hasn't because they still aren't sure of the White Base's capabilities.
Mirai: Also, it's quite possible that they've run out their weapons.
Bright: Yes, but...
Mirai: But?
Bright: They may be trying to trick us into thinking that.
Oscar: Another ship is approaching Char's Musai.
Mirai: Reinforcements?
Oscar: I don't know.
Oscar: They'll come into contact in 15 minutes.
Sayla: Looks like Mirai's guess was accurate.
Bright: We can't say that carelessly.
Bright: What if it's a battle cruiser?
Mirai: Amuro and we may be able to fight against the Musai, if we do it before they receive their supplies.
Bright: Are you suggesting an attack?
Mirai: Bright, do you think you can defend against Char's attack once again?
Bright: We don't have even one regular soldier on this ship.
Bright: Operator, how long do you think it will take the enemy to transfer supplies?
Marker: If they only transfer weapons, about 10 minutes.
Bright: 25 minutes all together...
Sayla: Why don't you ask the Captain?
Bright: I'd rather you not order me around like that.
Bright: Hayato, what do you think?
Hayato: Well, even when your opponent is huge, you can beat him at the moment he shifts his position or looses his balance.
Hayato: I learned that from Judo, but...
Bright: Miss Mirai, order all the crew to assemble in the bridge.

Mirai: This is an emergency call, everyone capable of combat should assemble in the bridge immediately. We don't ask your age. Everyone except engineers, assemble in the bridge.
Man: Hey!
Man: Right!
Retsu: Kikka, you stay in the room.
Kikka: She said every one. Everyone's gotta go.
Flau: I'll wash these.
Amuro: Okay.

Bright: I'd like to hear all of your opinions, but we don't have time.
Bright: We'll make our decision by majority.
Bright: First of all, the probability of success is fifty-fifty, but anybody who wishes to make a run for the Luna 2 base...
Bright: Please raise your hand.
Bright: 5 votes. All right then, the probability is also fifty-fifty, but anyone who wants to attack the enemy first, please raise your hand.
Retsu: We've gotta fight.
Kikka: Yeah, we've gotta fight.
Bright: Very well, it's decided then. We attack. Amuro will fly Gundam, Ryu will fly the Core Fighter, and if necessary the Guntank will sally with them.
Bright: Quickly! Standby Beam Cannon!
Bright: White Base, turn 180 degrees!

Sayla: Catapult connection complete. Ryu, the Core Fighter is ready for launch.
Ryu: Power output level: 60, 70, 85, 120...
Ryu: Launching!
Sayla: Core Fighter, launch sequence complete.
Sayla: Amuro, prepare Gundam for the catapult. Understood?
Amuro: Yes, so far.
Amuro: Time to give it a try.
Amuro: Just like in the manual. Catapult and armaments: check.
Amuro: Gundam's power output is within acceptable levels.
Amuro: Here I go!
Sayla: After heading forward for 10 kilometers, begin descending in order to penetrate the enemy's defenses.
Sayla: Do you copy?
Amuro: Roger.
Ryu: Roger.
Bright: Standby right and left beam cannons! Quickly!
Man: Cannons on standby, energy pipe connected.
Man: Front main cannons lifted up. Charging now.
Bright: The enemy will be in our sight in 8 minutes. Read the manual thoroughly before that.
Bright: At any rate, all you really have to do is shoot to provide cover.  However, be careful not to hit Gundam or the Core Fighter.

Char: It's amazing to see such an antiquated ship still in active service.
Char: 2nd Lieutenant Dren.
Dren: Yes, sir?
Char: Open the video circuit.
Dren: Yes, Major.
Gadem: The red blazing star asking me for supplies. Just think of it!
Gadem: Did you screw up?
Char: Gadem, the enemy is within sight. We don't have a moment to waste.
Gadem: I know that. You think I'm that slow?
Gadem: I'm pretty quick for my age.
Char: Open the hatches. Connection the conveyor pipes quickly.
Man: Receiving conveyor pipes!

Amuro: Ryu! Isn't he experienced?
Ryu: Aren't you heading up? The enemy's in sight.
Amuro: If we head straight ahead, we'd have to fight under backlight. Don't you realize that?
Amuro: We have to go around.
Ryu: Where's the Musai?
Amuro: We should have seen it by now.
Ryu: There it is!
Ryu: Amuro is pretty smart for an amateur. So, he plans to attack them with the sun behind us?
Amuro: All right, let's go.

Soldier: Conveyor pipe connected.
Soldier: Begin loading ammunition.
Gadem: Char, don't you think this is strange? We are very close to the enemy's frontline base, but we can't even locate the backside of it.
Gadem: The concentration of Minovsky particles in this area must be extremely dense.
Char: My sentiments exactly, Gadem.
Dren: Is the enemy warship nearby?
Char: It's possible.

Amuro: All right, now I've got you, Char.
Soldier: A missile is approaching from behind.
Char: What?
Soldier: It'll come in contact in 3 seconds.
Soldier: 3, 2, 1!
Gadem: The conveyor pipe has been damaged. Move our ship away from Musai.
Soldier: The second wave approaching. 7,6,...
Char: Gadem, release the Zakus you brought into the space.
Gadem: Right, I'll give it a try.
Soldier: 2, 1...
Gadem: We must get our Zakus to Char.
Char: Mathew, Flix, get outside of the ship and prepare to fly the Zaku.
Char: I'll sortie first with my mobile suit.
Dren: Fire all ballistic missiles horizontally.
Char: Dren, cover the Papua. This attack is from their mobile suit. It's not their warship.
Dren: Roger. Quickly, turn 180 degrees!
Dren: Shoot out the rest of missiles toward the sun.
Dren: How long does it take to charge the mega cannons?
Soldier: 5 minutes and 20 seconds, sir
Dren: Ehh? That's too slow.
Dren: We've reduced the main engine's power too much.
Soldier: The third wave is approaching. 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2...
Char: I missed.
Char: I won't let another wave through.
Char: Their mobile suit is behind me?
Soldier: It's coming. The enemy fighter from behind us to the left.
Gadem: Intercept it.
Gadem: Widen the gap between us. We'll release our supplies out in front of Luna 2.
Amuro: Char!
Char: I'll teach you that it's not the just the capabilities of the mobile suit that decide the battle...
Char: It's the pilot!
Amuro: Char!
Amuro: Got him!
Amuro: Oh no! The bazooka's running out of ammo!
Amuro: Behind me?
Char: Too late.
Dren: Major, the enemy's new horse-shaped battleship is attacking us.
Char: What?
Char: Hold it off until I return.
Amuro: You not getting closer to your ship.
Amuro: I promised Bright that I would draw Char's attention.

Kai: Geeze, that idiot Ryu's getting in the way. We can't shoot the main cannon.
Geez. Ryu is getting in the way and we can't shoot our main cannon.
Kai: Your name's Hayato, right? Tell them to make Ryu move out of the way.
Hayato: Right!
Hayato: Now, how to make contact with the bridge, er...
Kai: Come on, hurry.

Dren: Rotate 170 degrees and decrease altitude. Aim cannons directly toward the enemy ship.
Soldier: Yes, sir.

Mirai: The Musai isn't attacking us.
Bright: If they're still transferring supplies, they won't be able to use their Mega Cannon.
Bright: They may have run out of missiles too.
Marker: Altitude 300, the Musai is descending from the right.
Marker: Relative speed 0.23 km.
Marker: Estimated time until contact, 5.2 seconds.
Hayato: Bright, please answer me.
Bright: What is it?
Hayato: Kai says he can't set him fire on the Musai, because the Core Fighter is getting in the way.
Bright: Roger.
Bright: Ryu, answer me. Ryu?
Mirai: What's wrong?
Bright: The fool's turned off his radio circuit.
Mirai: Then, can't we defeat the enemy?

Char: You inexperienced pilot, here I come!
Amuro: What the?
Char: That won't work!
Amuro: Stop it!
Char: What the? Is the Federal Military's mobile suit a monster? After all my attacks...
Dren: Major, please return. The Musai is unable to fire its Mega Cannons...
Char: What about the Zakus? Haven't you received them yet?
Dren: The Papua's catapult seems to have been damaged. We've haven't got the Zakus yet...
Char: We must obtain the Zakus at the very least.
Char: I'll be there momentarily. Hold on.
Amuro: Ah! Char's gone.

Hayato: Bright, sir, Kai has a special license for controlling heavy vehicles.
Bright: Eh?
Hayato: Kai's father is an engineer.
Bright: I understand. You said a special license, right?
Hayato: Yes, sir. We have a tank type mobile suit, right?
Bright: That suit requires two men to operate it.
Hayato: It should be similar to using the cannons on this ship. I'm sure I can shoot with it. I've learned how.
Bright: Do you plan to get near the enemy with the Guntank?
Hayato: Yes, sir. Their attention is on the White Base right now. We should be fine.
Hayato: I'm sure I can do it.
Bright: I'm counting on you.
Hayato: Yes, sir!

Gadem: What the hell is taking you so long?
Gadem: The Musai is about to be destroyed. Hurry!
Soldier: Yes, Captain!
Gadem: Why haven't you released the Zakus yet?
Soldier: We haven't repaired the catapult yet, sir.
Gadem: Idiots! Push them out with your hands!
Gadem: Dammit!

Officer: Energy charging completed. We can fire now.
Dren: All right, ready the Mega Particle Cannon!

Bright: Kai! Hayato! Where's the Guntank?
Bright: Shoot them now! Shoot!
Mirai: Bright, sir, please calm down.
Mirai: The Guntank is about to depart from the White Base.
Mirai: Ground speed 12.5 meters... 10 meters...
Sayla: Kai Siden, can you hear me? You depart in 3 seconds. Understood?
Kai: I don't really have a say in the matter, now do I? I'm ready when you are.
Kai: So, your name was... Miss Sayla, right?
Sayla: Don't say unnecessary things. The White Base has landed. Takeoff now.

Hayato: Hurry up, Kai! The enemies are just over that mountain.
Kai: Don't shout. I'm doing my best to drive this thing.
Kai: Hayato, destroy them quickly.
Hayato: Please get another 50 meters closer.
Hayato: Then we'll be within the effective firing range.
Kai: And what'll you do if they start shooting missiles?
Hayato: They're still loading supplies right now, so I don't think they'll shoot us.
Kai: Well, what'll you do if they DO shoot?
Hayato: I don't know.
Hayato: Just 10 more meters...
Hayato: Firing!

Gadem: I have to hand out Zakus, missiles, foods... everything to Char.
Gadem: But I have my own pride as a member of Supply Corps.
Gadem: Musai, I gave you your Zakus. Take them!
Dren: Mathew, Flix, get to your Zakus.
Ryu: I won't let you...
Ryu: The Red Comet!
Char: Gadem, where're the supplies?
Gadem: I released most of them into the space.
Gadem: Collect them after you defeat the enemy.
Gadem: That's him!
Gadem: The new mobile suit Federation Military has created.
Char: Gadem, calm down.
Gadem: Let me go.
Gadem: Don't you understand? He's the one who destroyed my ship!
Gadem: This Zaku and I have fought hundreds of battles together.
Gadem: I'll destroy the Federation Military's immature mobile suit with just one blow!
Amuro: He's weaponless?
Char: Stop, Gadem! You can't defeat him with your Zaku!
Gadem: You amateur, you strike too early!
Gadem: Ugh, the Federation Military has developed a mobile suit...of this level...?
Char: G-Gadem!
Bright: Get back, Amuro, get back!
Bright: The supply ship is destroyed, return immediately.
Amuro: But...
Bright: I know you're out of weapons.
Bright: How will you manage to fight against Char without weapons?
Amuro: Char...
Amuro: Roger.
Char: Hmm, the enemy mobile suit is escaping...
Char: Papua has been destroyed and Gadem is dead.
Char: How could this happen?
Char: That mobile suit and that warship are obviously highly effective and we've been defeated by the Federation Military's new weapons...
Char: I can understand that.
Char: But, what does this mean?
Char: They have inexperienced tactics and their pilots are amateurs.
Soldier: Major, Mathew and Flix have boarded their Zakus. Shall we pursue the enemy?
Char: Go and continue loading supplies into the ship.
Soldier: Yes, sir.
Char: What does this mean?

Kai: Heh heh, like they say, "they only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Bright: Don't spoil yourself.
Bright: Amuro was distracting Char. That's why Guntank was able to attack safely.
Kai: Hear that, Hayato?
Hayato: I agree with him.
Kai: That's not cute.
Ryu: Bright, I heard that my receiver was turned off. Sorry about that.
Bright: Well, be careful about it hereafter. Always remember your training.
Bright: And Amuro, you went too far around the enemy.
Ryu: No, he needed to do that. Right, Amuro?
Amuro: Yes, I had to because Char was moving so quickly.
Bright: Char is the man with the name of the Red Comet.
Bright: You've fought against him once.
Bright: You should think a better strategy to use when you fight against him.
Amuro: Yes, sir.
Bright: All crewmembers, switch to secondary battle arrangements and take a break.
Mirai: We're going foward with full speed. We're on our way to the Luna 2 frontline base. All clear.

Amuro: Ryu, now I really feel like I want to hit him.
Amuro: Flau Bow...
Flau: You must be exhausted. Have some tea.
Ryu: Ahh, thanks a lot.
Halo: Amuro, you're tired. Amuro, you're tired.
Amuro: Halo, you look finely tuned.
Ryu: What the heck is that?
Amuro: This is my creation. His name is Halo.
Marker: Minefield, 25 km to the left. Our path is 3.2 to the right.

Narration: Amuro and the  crews are captured by allies in the Federation Military.
Narration: Meanwhile, Char, eager to destroy Gundam, is sneaking into the base with an attack party.
Narration: Will they have to defeat their own allies to save the White Base?
Narration: Next time on Mobile Suit Gundam: "Mission to Escape from Luna 2"
Narration: Can you survive, Amuro?

Song: Amuro, don't look back...
Song: There's a star shining far in the space
Song: Amuro, that's where you're born...
Song: Do you still remember? The days of your boyhood.
Song: And the morning when you woke up in the warmth?
Song: Amuro, don't turn back, Amuro.
Song: If you're a man, don't show your tears.
Song: You simply walk toward tomorrow, forever.
