[U.C 0085: Three days following "The Dakar Massacre]

"The Dakar Massacre", "The Twin Tower Terror Attack" and "The battle of Greenland."

>Artesia: What?! Why would you-

Realizing Ramba's intention to pull away any beliefs of Artesia also being involved in the terror attacks on the Protectorate in order to halt a potential nuclear retaliation, Artesia slams her fist into a glass table, shattering it.

>Ramba: Artesia, your hand-
>Artesia: Damn you...brother!!
