After that battle, the United Federation seemed to have forgotten about Aube. However, the military enterprises and technology development companies controlled by LOGOS began to develop new types of equipment with all their might. More powerful MS, more powerful weapons, and more powerful biological CPUs were all within their research and development scope. Now that they couldn't attack Aube, but they couldn't ignore Aube either. The United Federation could only try their best to enhance their combat capabilities. After obtaining a higher level of combat power, they could take down Aube in one fell swoop, the most unpredictable factor on earth.
However, although they temporarily ignored Aube, the United Federation also knew that Aube didn't have the power to attack the United Federation other than defense, so it was relatively easy for them to deal with the current bigger enemy, ZAFT. They even planned an attack on ZAFT's Direct Buturo Base, an attack on the Minerva.
On the second day after the battle, without waiting for Aube's situation to stabilize, Aslan bid farewell to Xiao Ran and left. After exchanging for the black Gundam Gundam X11, he drove his red Gundam Gundam to Direct Buturo Base. Aslan didn't encounter any obstacles on his way to Direct Buturo Base. After arriving at Direct Buturo Base, he joined the Minerva.
Just like in the original plot, when Aslan came down from the Messiah Gundam, the people on the Minerva were shocked when they saw that the new MS pilot on the Minerva was actually Aslan. Moreover, he was FAITH, who had independent authority. Real Flying Bird, on the other hand, could only stare in shock at this person who used to belong to Aubrey but had now joined ZAFT.
Real Flying Bird also hurried back when he saw the Gundam Gundam enter the Minerva when he was shopping outside. Although Real Flying Bird didn't know why Aslan was here, he also felt a sense of kinship in his heart. No matter what kind of person Aslan used to be, at least in Real Flying Bird's opinion, Aslan was Aube's man, and he was also Aube's man. But now, they both came to ZAFT, to Minerva.
At first, Real Flying Bird didn't notice the FAITH badge on Aslan's chest. Although he was wearing a red shirt, his collar was open, and he was carrying a plastic bag full of things in his hand. He looked at Aslan in astonishment and asked, "Why are you here? And why did you join ZAFT? Are you tired of that princess who doesn't know anything?"
Fortunately, Real Flying Bird knew his identity and didn't say the word "also". Otherwise, he would definitely attract the attention of the people around him and arouse unnecessary suspicion.
Aslan was also stunned when he heard Real Flying Bird's words. Luna Maria, who was standing beside Real Flying Bird, quickly pulled Real Flying Bird and whispered, "Real, what are you talking about? He is FAITH."
"Huh?" Real Flying Bird didn't notice the badge on Aslan's chest until Luna Maria reminded him. He was shocked and quickly stuffed the plastic bag in his hand into Luna Maria's hand. He quickly buttoned up his collar and saluted to Aslan, "Sir."
Aslan didn't get angry because of Real Flying Bird's rudeness just now. He nodded slightly to Real Flying Bird and said, "Can someone take me to the captain's room? I want to report to Captain Thalia."
Real Flying Bird was about to say that she would take Aslan, but Luna Maria stuffed the bag back into Real Flying Bird's body. She grabbed Aslan's arm and walked out, "I'll take you there."
Aslan nodded blankly in the face of Luna Maria's friendliness. Luna Maria pulled him out of the crowd. Real Flying Bird stared blankly at the two of them leaving. He then patted his head in annoyance. His attention was then attracted by the red Gundam Savior.
A few hours later, Aslan reported to Captain Thalia and officially settled down on the Minerva. The unfamiliar environment and the previous encounter with Kajali and Kira made him feel extremely lonely. He strolled around the Minerva and walked to the observation deck. He leaned on the railing and stared blankly.
Real Flying Bird ran to the observation deck for some reason. Perhaps she was looking for Aslan. When she saw Aslan, she quickly ran to his side. Her hurried footsteps were also noticed by Aslan. Before Real Flying Bird could say anything, Aslan turned to look at her and smiled at her.
"I know you, Real Flying Bird. At first, I wasn't sure. After all, it was two years ago. At that time, I thought you should have seen me too. At that time, I remembered that you were with your family. Why? Did your family all migrate to PLANT? Why did you leave Aubrey and join ZAFT?"
Real Flying Bird was stunned for a moment. Her eyes suddenly showed a hint of panic as she looked around. Fortunately, there was no one else in the observation deck except for the two of them, so no one knew what they were talking about.
After seeing that there was no one around, Real Flying Bird approached Aslan with a look of dissatisfaction and fear. She said, "What's wrong with you? How can you talk about this kind of thing? Didn't that guy tell you to be careful when you come here? Don't tell anyone that my family is still alive?"
Real Flying Bird's words made Aslan's eyes widen. He opened his mouth and seemed to have stopped breathing for a moment. Then, he raised his eyebrows and said with a wry smile, "What's going on? Don't tell me you were sent here by that guy to infiltrate ZAFT?"
Following Aslan's words, the sluggish person turned into Real Flying Bird. Her stiff expression was full of shock and panic. Her throat moved involuntarily. After a long time, she spat out three words, "You're not?"
"Oh …" Aslan smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Sigh, a spy like you is really unqualified. How can you expose yourself before confirming the other party's identity? If I really chose to leave Aube and join ZAFT, then lied to you and told Captain Thalia about you, do you know what the consequences would be?"
"No … No way … You really weren't sent by that guy to help me?" Real Flying Bird cried and looked at Aslan in panic. She was indeed worried that Aslan would tell him about her situation. Her eyes also Look Around from time to time. Her fists were clenched tightly. It seemed that she was ready to escape at any time.
Real Flying Bird's combat ability was not inferior to Aslan's. Both of them graduated from ZAFT Military Academy with first place in combat, so if they really fought, they could be regarded as evenly matched.
After seeing Real Flying Bird's actions, Aslan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about you. Although I'm now in ZAFT, Aube is equally important to me and has a special meaning. I joined ZAFT just to find some answers. Since that man sent you here, he probably has something in mind."
"That man also knows that I'm coming to the Minerva. I also participated in the battle against Aube before, and I participated after joining ZAFT. In the end, I'm actually no different from you. Since he can rest assured and let me leave Aube and come here without telling me anything, it's also a kind of trust in me. He believes that even if I know about your situation, I won't leak it."
"If you don't believe me, you can also confirm it with that man yourself."
"Really?" Real Flying Bird was relieved to hear Aslan's words, but she still looked a little doubtful.
Aslan nodded affirmatively. "Of course, I can go with you to confirm it with that man."
In fact, even Xiao Ran did not expect the real Flying Bird to be so clumsy. In a situation where Aslan's identity had not been confirmed, he had taken the initiative to reveal the problem of his identity with just a few words. And this was also the reason why Xiao Ran did not specifically warn Aslan about the real Flying Bird. He also believed that even if Aslan had discovered something, he would definitely not be a busybody and expose it. Instead, he would try his best to help the real Flying Bird cover up as much as possible.
Although Aslan said those words, Real Flying Bird obviously knew that she had made a big mistake, so she didn't believe him like a fool. Instead, she dragged Aslan away from the Minerva and tried to find a way to contact Aube in Puturo Base. Of course, it was definitely not allowed to use the base's communication facilities in the base, but as a Red Specter, she naturally had her own way.
Anyway, in the current situation, Aube hadn't cut off contact with PLANT. As long as she wanted to, it wouldn't be difficult to contact Aube.
In the evening, both Real and Aslan returned to the Minerva. The message was sent to Aube, but they didn't know how long it would take to receive a reply from Aube. Aslan used an emergency special code that he learned when he was Kajali's guard in Aube. It could ensure that Xiao Ran saw the message immediately.
