The Minerva crew find an Earth Forces fleet waiting for them outside Orb's territorial waters, leaving them no choice but to somehow break through the enemy lines. While Rey and Lunamaria guard the ship, Shinn fights an aerial battle against the Earth Forces mobile suits, but the tide turns against them as the enemy deploys a huge mobile armor whose positron deflector shield can withstand even the Minerva's Tannhauser cannon.
It may be outside our waters, but it's
still very close to us. What a drag.
Es mag außerhalb unseres Gewässers sein,

Está fuera de nuestro territorio,
pero sigue cerca.
Está fuera de nuestro territorio,
pero sigue cerca.
On ne voudrait pas
que la bataille déborde chez nous.
Pode ser fora do nosso território, 
mas ainda é bem perto. É problemático.
