Narration: It has been half a century since mankind has started colonizing its overpopulation into space.
Narration: Huge artificial cities surrounding the earth have become makind's second birthplace, the people bore their children there, they grew up, and went to death.  
Narration: In 0079 space century, Side 3, the furthest space city from the earth, have declared themselve as Duchy of Zeon and challenged Earth federation government a war of independence.
Narration: Over a month of battle, Duchy of Zeon and Earth federation have lost half of its total population to death. People feared their own deed.
Title: "Mission to escape from Luna 2"
Soldier: Madagascar beacon received. Entering the port at the standard entrance speed limit -2. The posture is good.
Soldier: Madagascar entered. All crews get in the position for mooring procedures.
Soldier: Ammunition loaders, Hurry!
Soldier: Where's recreation service crews? Are they ready for the reception of on board crews?
Soldier: The second pier, mooring preparation completed
Soldier: Crews, after docking of Madagascar, we will commence loading in the secondary war stocks immediately.
Soldier: Roger
Bright: You don't understand that we are taking over 100 civilians along.
Bright: They had no choice but escape from the Side 7 since there's attack.
Officer: We want accept you if we can.
Officer: But, this Luna 2 base is also having a series of continuous emergencies.
Bright: We reached allying base at last and we can't even take a rest? This can not be right!
Watkain: I'll answer your questions.
Watkain: I'm Watkain, Commander of Luna 2 district.
Watkain: You must be Bright Noah, aren't you?
Bright: Yes, sir
Bright: Evacuees are all exhausted. Please find us a place in this base for them to take a rest.
Mirai: We have been pursued all this way by Zeon and had no chance of taking a rest.
Watkain: We have no room for civilians to accommodate.
Bright: But...
Watkain: I ask all people in here to remain still.
Watkain: I'll ask Earth Federation Headquarters for support, you will be transfered to the earth on an appropriate ship in no time.
Refugees: To the Earth? I want to go back to Side 7.
Watkain: Following people will be separated from the general refugees. Bright Noar!
Watkain: Mirai Yashima, Ryu Hosei, Sarah Mass, Kai Shiden, Hayato Kobayashi,
Watkain: Amuro Ray
Kikka: Hey, he's my friends!
Retsu: That's right
Katsu: Get lost!
Flau: Come on kids
Bright: Please, let us hear your reason!
Watkain: Officer cadet and civilians have used triple A secret of military,
Watkain: namely, Whitebase and Gundam without permission.
Watkain: People who just called should be prepared to be put on to military trial.
Watkain: Whitebase will be confiscated, Gundam will be sealed and go under military control.
Watkain: That's all I have to tell you.
Amuro: You're so selfish!
Amuro: How can you tell us such a things without checking the state of Side 7 at that time!
Watkain: Captain, I'm Luna 2 commander, Watkain.
Captain: Repair Whitebase, and save the children...
Watkain: Please leave rest to us, sir.
Watkain: Please leave your concerns and take treatments, sir.
Soldier: After locking Gundam, the next is Guntank.
Soldier: How about Guntank, this is all falling a part.
Soldier: Lock it also. Watkain is a fassy man.
Bright: Musai is coming. I don't think Char the red blazing star has given up the pursuit.
Bright: Sir, if you seal Gundam...
Watkain: You don't have a right to put a word into our strategy.
Bright: Sir, you don't know how fearful the red blazing star is.
Watkain: You may judge that way as you are not one of our regular soldiers.
Watkain: The red blazing star is a renowned soldier.
Watkain: He is not a fool to challenge this Luna 2 base with his light cruiser Musai.
Soldier: Move
Char: Are you sure that we are not detected by the Luna 2 rador?
Dren: I'm sure, major.
Dren: The level of Minofsky particles are weak, but it won't be a problem.
Char: It's weird that we are not detected even in front of the enemy.
Char: The science battle after all,
Char: is now going back to the visual range battle as in the ancient time.
Dren: Major, do we attack Luna 2 ?
Char: Dren, now you are telling me.
Char: Luna 2 is proud of fine armaments. An ordinary militarist would never think of this small Musai will attack it alone.
Dren: Is that why you are going to do it?
Char: Don't worry. I have a plan, Dren.
Dren: I look foward to it, sir
Char: If a girl at that time is my sister separated 10 years ago...
Char: No, she is too strong for Artesia.
Sarah: Drop it down!
Sarah: I will shoot if you move.
Char: That's right. Artesia is more gentle.
Char: We will enter the core of the enemy with normal-suit.
Soldiers: Eh?
Char: Our first aim is to snatch Federal's mobilesuit. 
Char: Our second aim also is to snatch the rocking horse, enemy's newly built warship.
Char: If we don't get them in our hand, we'll smash them.
Char: That's all.
Soldier: This is your meal.
Bright: Wait
Bright: Let us see Commander Watkain.
Amuro: I think it's no use, Bright.
Bright: But, who could be sure about Char not attacking us?
Amuro: That's true, though.
Kai: Apart from that, let's take some food.
Kai: You won't make anything if you don't eat at the right time.
Kai: Even when you want to make run.
Ryu: Kai is right, Amuro
Ryu: Food is just like loading bullets into a gun.
Ryu: Soldier must eat even when they don't want to.
Soldier: Major, do we go out?
Char: Wait
Char: Look
Soldier: Oh...
Char: It's infrared detector
Char: Avoid detection and set the mines.
Soldier: Yes, sir
Amuro: So, you just need to remember this block connection lever is double.
Amuro: This operation means it's significantly different from Zeon's Zaku.
Kai: Alright then, what makes Gundam far superior than Zeon's Zaku, then?
Amuro: It's fighting ability.
Amuro: It's different from Zaku type mobilesuit in the past. It memorizes case studies in the battlefield.
Kai: It memorizes the case studies?
Kai: Is that mean the more you fight Gundam learns the ways to fight and becomes stronger?
Amuro: That's right
Amuro: And moreover, inexperienced pilot like me could manage to fight against Char who is an experienced warrior somehow.
Amuro: That is showing ability of Gundam's leaning computer is so good that it is backing up my shortcomings.
Ryu: Hahaha, you are too modest to yourself!
Bright: Centrifugal gravity system has stopped!
Kai: It seems power point is damaged
Amuro: It's Char
Watkain: Have they passed through the surveillance system?
Soldier: Yes, commander, the enemy presumably is a bomb squad wearing normalsuit.
Officer: What Bright said was right...
Watkain: We'll make Magellan to sally forth.
Bright: Open the door!
Amuro: They must have forgotten about us.
Bright: But, we can't remain here...damn
Bright: It's open
Amuro: Eh? I see, the electric lock lost its effect by losing its electric supply.
Ryu: Let's get out of here
Amuro: Where's Mirai and Sarah?
Bright: They should be in the next door.
Bright: Mirai, Sarah!
Mirai: Bright!
Watkain: Launch Magellan now. Release Magellan from the dock promptly.
Flau: Zeon's attack has started, and why don't you let us take refuge into a safe place?
Soldier: We haven't received an order from our commander.
Flau: Then, you are asking us to die here?
Sodier: No, we are not saying that.
Flau: Then, please make a contact with your commander quickly.
Soldier: But...our commander must be busy at the moment...
Soldier: Ugh, darn you! come out, you kid!
Ryu: Yes!
Bright: Gather all the crews. We will move Whitebase out from the port.
Bright: Amuro, go and unlock Gundam.
Amuro: Alright
Soldier: Magellan is departing, sir
Char: Let's go
Watkain: No, we're trapped!
Bright: What! Magellan is occupying the port entrance?
Bright: Start engine, Mechanicians, hurry.
Bright: Ryu, Kai, Amuro
Bright: Have you unlocked Gundam?
Kai: Don't shout. We started just now, you know.
Bright: Sarah, do you see evacuees?
Sarah: They are now moving toward gravitational block.
Sarah: Flau Bow is leading them.
Bright: Alright, I'll go down to where Gundam is.
Bright: Mirai, when engine power reaches criticality, go forward with low speed.
Mirai: Yes, I'll
Soldier: Commander, have you wounded?
Watkain: It's alright. It's just a scratch.
Watkain: M, who is controling Whitebase?
Watkain: Go to Whitebase now!
Watkain: What are you doing there?
Watkain: I told you to keep out from Whitebase
Amuro: We only have Gundam as a means to fight against Char
Watkain: Move out from there immediately
Bright: I'm fully aware of treason.
Bright: Commander Watkain, Please make this clear. Who is your enemy, Zeon or us?
Watkain: You!
Watkain: I don't want to explain you military discipline right now, but designated order is a must.
Mirai: Dicipline, dicipline, what has it got to do with us?
Mirai: We don't mind soldiers willfully die following millitary dicipline, but isn't it unreasonable that other civilians get entangled by it? Commander Watkain?
Watkain: What
Paolo: Watkain
Watkain: Captain Paolo
Paolo: Commander Watkain, this is my idea...Whitebase, Gundam, Guncannon and Guntank have been our secret information till now.
Watkain: Yes, sir
Paolo: That is why. It is unfortunate but, these young people use them better than us.
Paolo: Moreover, these young people have experienced the actual warfare twice...
Watkain: But, Captain!
Paolo: I know. It is true that they are amateurs after all.
Paolo: You're commander of this base. Please give them help so that they may fight freely. 
Paolo: I'll be responsible for the consequences.
Watkain: Yes, captain
Watkain: I will follow your word, captain.
Char: Mathew, Flix, get ready
Char: We'll enter the port and attack the rocking horse and the mobilesuit at once
Mathew: Roger
Flix: Roger
Char: Attack now!
Amuro: It's Char
Bright: Commander Watkain, Whitebase can not go out from the port, unless we remove Magellan out of the way. 
Bright: Luna 2 fleet will lead to a total anihiration if we remain in this situation.
Mirai: It's Musai
Watkain: We will eliminate Magellan.
Officer: Commander
Watkain: Attach Whitebase on ground, and all ships take defense allocations.
Watkain: Main cannons, be on standby.
Officer: Yes, sir
Watkain: Bring down the bulkheads
Watkain: Set target on Magellan's thermonuclear reactor
Watkain: Prepare for the shock respectively.
Bright: Amuro, move out of the passage!
Amuro: Eh?
Watkain: Fire
Amuro: Char...
Amuro: I wonder what sort of person he is...
Bright: Captain, we made it
Officer: Commander
Watkain: M...
Watkain: We should leave them until we reach the earth.
Watkain: In the way Captain Paolo told us.
Officer: Commander
Watkain: When the war against Zeon is still continuing in an extremely difficult situation, we are loosing valuable people one after another...
Watkain: Don't you think we live in a cold age?
Bright: Captain, we promise to deliver your Whitebase to the earth surely by our hand.
Amuro: Dad...
Amuro: Where are you now...?
Narration: The atmospheric entry, which can cause burning itself out once if it let falling by gravitational pull.
Narration: Char uses that moment for his surprise attack on Whitebase.
Narration: Both enemy and ally endangers themselves. Well, are they going to see the ground of Earth?
Narration: Mobilesuit Gundam, next episode, "Atmospheric entry"
Narration: Well, Amuro, is he going to survive?
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 wake 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
