While originally intent on continuing his operation to subdue the Argama, Mashymre reluctantly agrees to fall back for Axis to ensure the safe return of "Haman Karn" and to report the capture of the Zeta Gundam. While Mashymre attempts to treat Kamille with dignity as a prisoner, Gottn wastes no time resorting to cruelties to test if Kamille's mental state is a ploy.

>Mashymre: Gottn! What is the meaning of this?!
>Gottn: Ah, Mashymre! We have nearly gained a confession of sanity from this AEUG-

Finding Kamille being dangled upside down and screaming from the intense pressure to his head, Mashymre pushes Gottn aside to release him.

>Gottn: Sir?! We were nearly-
>Mashymre: Are we resorting to barbaric methods of torture now?! Are we the royal elite of Neo Zeon or not?!
>Gottn: Its completely harmless to-

Seeing Kamille curled on the floor, gasping and weeping from the bloodflow to his head, Mashymre motions for guards to return Kamille to his cell to rest.

>Gottn:...There are rumors circulating that you may have been compromised on the Argama. Rumors that may have reached Lord Dozle already.
>Mashymre: And you think tormenting an invalid is going to somehow clear me of guilt?
>Gottn: Your choice of hostages are being viewed as suspect to the say the least. Sir, if you would just let me take certain measures, I am sure we can get a proper confession from that young man. As for the little girl-
>Mashymre: Just be quiet, Gottn. I will handle both of them.

As Mashymre leaves to ready for his departure onto Axis, Gottn tightens his fist in anger.

>Gottn: (I will not let my comrades be sacrificed so you can remain in your delusions. Neo Zeon just needs one final push to do what is necessary to win this war...!)
