I just don't think it's a very good idea to build walls of that nature between you and your fellow soldiers, Athrun. When we're out on the battlefield, all of us ZAFT mobile suit pilots are the same, right? Regardless of whether we're FAITH, red uniforms, or green uniforms. We're nothing like the Earth Forces who seem incapable of fighting except in huge groups under orders.

Stop worrying! You have to concentrate. We're in the middle of a war and we're soldiers. If you forget, you'll die.
We can't just turn around and say, "Sorry, we quit."
This is no ZAKU, pal! No ZAKU!!
[Cagalli's flashback] We vow not to attack another nation, not to allow another nation to attack us, and not to intervene in the conflicts of other nations. We of Orb have been able to maintain these ideals in a era of sweeping changes, because we believe that it is the framework we human beings call a nation. Like-minded individuals gathered together in the spirit of harmony. As we face the present situation, I still believe this to be true. The Earth Forces are threatening to attack us unless we join their camp; however, in light of our beliefs, we can not comply to their demands. For to accept that would be to accept the invasion of the most essential principles of Orb, no, the most important principles of humanity itself. The Earth forces vow to attack us if we do not flow the line and fall in with them; however, we can not submit to their ultimatum. For if we agree to join them, then the day would come when we as a country would be forced to fight against other countries, other nations, whose only crime is that they are enemies of the Earth forces. We will not allow another nation to attack us. This is integral to Orb's ideals and we will defend then until the very end, but unfortunately my fellow citizens, the threat is at our very door.
Attacking all of us!? What the hell makes you so special!?
First, decide. Then just do it. It's the only way to achieve anything of real value in this world, I'm sure.
[coded message] I saw an angel at the Dardanelles. I'd like to see it again. The Red Knight is also looking for the Princess. Please respond -- Miriallia.
If that's the case you've told us that you've gone and joined the ZAFT Forces again what's the next step? You were looking for us weren't you?

Kira, I don't think....
Because I wanna stop you from doing something like that again, I understand about the Junius 7 Incident but ever since then the Earth forces are completely to blame for this fiasco. Even so the PLANTs are making every effort to bring this foolishness to an end and the you guys show up and confuse the situation even further!
Are you sure about that? Do the PLANTs feel that way? Does Chairman Durandal feel that way? Does he really want to rnd this war and bring peace to the world?
I'm sure you've seen how hard the chairman's been working! And you've heard his speeches. The chairman is doing his best.
And that other Lacus Clyne? What's the story with that other Lacus up in the PLANTs?
But that's just--
Maybe you can tell me why a squad of Coordinators showed up and tried to kill the real Lacus?
They tried to have her killed? What are you talking about?!
In Orb, we were attacked by Coordinators from the special forces. They even had their mobile suits with them. They were after Lacus. And that's why I decided to pilot the Freedom again.
But that's...
I don't want her or anyone else for that matter to end up getting killed. Who in the world would want to have Lacus killed and for what reason? Until I have a clear answer to those questions, I'm not trusting the PLANTs.
This is crazy! It's unbelievable! They go on about Coordinators being a mistake and a crime against nature, and then they create these!?
Shinn...
How the hell can they say tinkering with genes is wrong when they are doing things like this!?
I couldn't agree more.
Calm down!? How do you expect me to calm down!? That lab is the place where my mother... m-mother... she's still there.
But Athrun, I understand what you're saying, but we don't want you fighting against Orb even with things the way they are now... and actually not only Orb, because Athrun, what is lost in pointless battle is gone and never returned.
I've had enough of your sanctimonious talk. You think you've got all the answers!? Or have you forgotten all the lives you've personally taken!?
Yes, I know; and that's why I'm so sick and tired of all of it.
Kira...
I don't want to kill any more, and I will not let others kill.
We got here early because we are in a hurry. And that's why we need you to hurry.
I'm not a man who likes to dwell on the past. However, I'm also not one to tolerate repeated failures.
