Although the Archangel has escaped the Minerva's attack, the Freedom has been destroyed, and the ship itself badly damaged. After retrieving Kira, the Archangel continues on to Orb, while Shinn returns to the Minerva and receives a hero's welcome.
Unless we tear down old buildings,
we cannot build new ones.
Wenn wir alte Gebäude nicht niederreißen,
brauchen wir keine neuen.
Si no derrumbamos los edificios,
no podemos construir.
Si no derrumbamos los edificios,
no podemos construir.
Pas de bâtiments détruits,
pas de nouvelles constructions.
Sem destruir prédios velhos,
 não podemos construir novos.
