>Elo: Why should we waste any supplies on these invaders?!
>Dido: Look at that aircraft. It is not of Neo Zeon origin, so that only leaves these two being of the Federation or Karaba.
>Elo: All I see are two Franks. One that might live through the night.
>Glemy: Roux...save...

Pulling Glemy out from the Core Fighter, Dido moves his scimitar for his neck.

>Dido: Your companion will not survive the night with her wounds. If you comply with us, we will assist you in saving her life-
>Elo: Commander, what are you thinking?!
>Dido: We are out of options! Gadeb has lost any and all sense in his crusade!
>Elo: Anything is worth seeing the Franks removed from our sacred lands!
>Dido: He has spilled more blood of the rightful natives of these lands! That Neo Zeon ship that crashed has only emboldened him to expand his brutality!
>Elo: They would gladly give their lives knowing these devils have been removed!
>Dido: Enough! Listen to me, boy of Karaba. You will assist us in locating your peoples base of operations in Africa. Agree and comply with our demands, and we will save the life of your woman.
>Glemy: Y-yes! Anything! Just...save her! I beg of you!

While Elo views Glemy as human filth in his moment of weakness, Dido gives a brief nod of respect for the young man's complete openness to save his companions life. Slowly opening her eyes, Roux finds a chance to escape back to the Argama with the ZZ's Core Fighter, though her bleeding continues to worsen from the severed artery from Glemy's shot.

Meanwhile in Oasis Village, Asherah rubs Masai's head to help relax her migrane, only to learn of her plans to sortie in a Gelgoog to attack the Argama to bring what she believes will be peace to Tag's tormented soul. Having felt the deepest recesses of Masai's memories of her lover, Asherah feels a cold sensation within her as she believes she could convince Masai that she is a messenger of her dead lover's wishes.
