Choosing to move forward with leading a blitz on Hawaii, Asherah requests for the Nahel Argama unit to deploy for Hawaii as well to rally alongside her and the other forces attacking the reinforced islands. As she and the battalions at California Base deploy to attack, Chan and Richard look upon the nearly completed "Penelope" Gundam.

>Chan: Its taken years, but this will finally give us the edge we need to end this.
>Richard: Young lady, Amuro has the highest faith in your abilities. Don't disappoint us.
>Quess: Who do you think your talking to? I am more than strong enough to-
>Amuro: Quess! Keep your ego in check! You will have the chance to prove yourself soon enough!

Hushing herself, Quess fantasizes about stealing Amuro for herself upon gaining the power of the Penelope. As she anxiously awaits for its completion, Amuro walks alongside Richard to discuss the True Nu's full capabilities.

>Amuro: The waterproofing can't be done?
>Richard: Not with its current equipment. Sir, they will have no choice but to attack the island directly. When they do, they will be facing the most powerful Mobile Suit ever constructed. Do my masterpiece proud.
>Amuro: Of course.
