News of the Trojan Horse's destruction quickly reaches the ears of Vice Admiral Dozle, along with the additional capture of the V-Projects prototypes.

>Dozle transmission: Ramba, you've done me a service greater than you could ever begin to imagine. As of this moment, you will be made a Major in my forces. Every soldier in your unit will be granted a full rank promotion, and by my will, you will be heralded as heroes in the homeland!
>Ramba: I am eternally grateful, Lord Dozle-
>Dozle: There will be no more formalities between us! You have put my brothers spirit to rest and have restored his honor. For that, I consider you as kin to me. I understand the Dom's had never arrived...
>Ramba: M'quve claimed they were lost in orbit.
>Dozle: That wretched snake...! My friend, I will set this right. Oh I assure you...it will be set absolute right soon enough!
>Ramba: As for the Gundam and other V-Project assets were able to capture-
>Dozle: The data has already been transferred over. Consider them my personal gift to your new unit. The Federation has been allowed to survive for far to long now! With the position I have granted you, I want you to amass a force strong enough to finally shatter the spine of their military! If there is an Officer that catches your eye, I will grant my absolute blessings in you recruiting them!
>Ramba: Again, I am eternally thankful.
>Dozle: For now, return to Odessa for much needed rest and recuperation. My sisters pet will answer in full for his deception and waste of my resources...!

As the communication ends, Ramba checks in on Hamon, finding her tending to Artesia's wounds.

>Ramba: How is she?
>Hamon: Sleeping, ever so soundly.
>Ramba:...I need your advice-
>Hamon: Is this about her brother?
>Ramba:...Yes. Yes it is.
>Hamon: My love...I would ask that you await for her to awaken before we go any further.

>What will be done regarding Artesia?
