A week would pass from the fall of China, with the Federation mounting a naval campaign against Hawaii from Australia in an effort to protect itself from being struck at such a vital period in the war. While fighting rages across across the Pacific Ocean, Ramba's Zanzibar finally arrives on the continent, striking at Torrington in its weakened state.

>Ramba: Where is Hamon? The assault is about to begin.
>Clamp: That woman you found in the Gundam's fever worsened. Hamons been in her room since last night.
>Ramba: Until she returns, take command over the bridge.
>Clamp: Sir!

Arriving at Artesia's room aboard the Zanzibar, Ramba knocks as he enters.

>Hamon: Shhh...she was nearly ready to sleep.
>Ramba: Any idea what is affecting her?
>Hamon: She diagnosed herself with a local condition from China. Poor thing has been suffering small delusions since she woke up this morning-
>Artesia: Its to warm, mommy...

Hamon plants a small kiss onto Artesia's head as she moves a spoonful of medicine for her mouth.

>Ramba:...You just stay with her, alright? This upcoming battle will be done soon enough-
>Artesia: Mister Ral...when will...brother be done with his classes? I just...I just him to hold my hand...

Kneeling down to Artesia's side, Ramba gives her hand a small squeeze as he leave to engage the Federations garrison in Australia.
