While having her request for Elpeo Ple to be removed from service, Emma is authorized to keep the girl under her training and supervision, though both will be expected to participate in the coming battles ahead. Accepting what has been decided, Emma throws herself into serving as the Nahel Argama's primary pilot instructor, ensuring the "Gundam Team" and Elpeo are able to face anything that will face them in the future.

Now that the Intelligence Agency has been nearly returned to its full splendor, reports have been received that Neo Zeon have prepared Solomon for a direct assault. All of its surviving leaders, from Rear Admiral Yuri Kellerne to the disgraced General Elran are assigned fleets of their own for this engagement.

>Wong: Its now or never. All forces, our Space Counterattack is now ready to begin! Show Neo Zeon no mercy, and push through Solomon right to Axis!

Motivated by Wong's propaganda campaigns, AEUG readies the majority of its fleets to attack Solomon, along with the Londo Bell Unit moving to take control over Side 1's colonies in the chaotic fighting. Settling herself into the Captains seat of the Nahel Argama, Asherah feels the memories of Brights many fleet engagements flowing through her thoughts.

>Judau: Oi, Asherah.
>AEUG Officer: Show proper respect when addressing the Admiral!
>Judau: Come on now~. Look, I get we all got sucked into the adults nonsense, but you just remember we will be looking out for you. Just make sure your predictions and strategies work, alright?
>Asherah:...Right! Um...about the Princess-
>Judau: I'm working on that. Just make it through this and i'll see about hooking you both up with a parfait or something.

Taking Judau's hand, Asherah moves it against her cheek gently.

>Judau: Seriously, in front of all these people?
>Asherah: Parfait...it sounds yummy.
>Judau: Never had one before? Well, all the more reason to make it through this.
