Salvatia Intervenes into Gundam SEED Universe

Chapter 8

Inside the Archangel, Office Room

Zarkta is sitting in the chair with his arms crossed, staring directly at Captain Murrue through his visor. Murrue sits there, trying to have a conversation with this newly mysterious character in front of her, searching for the right words to speak. Natalie and Flaga are both by her side to support her if she can't find the words. They remain silent for a moment before Zarkta speaks up.

Zarkta: So... Are we playing silent treatment or what? Because the enemy won't just allow us to do this, you know.

Natalie gives him a serious glare.

Flaga: Hey man, at least give her some time to, you know...

Flaga said.

Murrue: Zarkta, as the captain of the Archangel, I would wish for you to cooperate together so we could build up a good relationship between us and your affiliation.

Natalie: Captain...

She muttered.

Zarkta: And why should I cooperate with someone who is affiliated with the EA? An confederate alliance made up of superstates represents Naturals and eradicates every Coordinator that isn't considered human to their eyes, and you're one of them.

Flaga: Whoa, whoa, bud. There's no need to accuse her or anyone else here.

He said, defending Murrue of Zarkta's accusation.

Murrue: Please understand that I am not like those people in Blue Cosmos. I am truly disgusted that this war is happening because of racial conflict. I joined the EA because it's my duty to protect the citizens of Earth from the PLANTs, which are filled with hatred after what happened to Junius Seven.

Zarkta: I'm guessing it was an act to destroy it, orchestrated by OMNI.

Natalie: How dare you!

She loses her cool as she slams her hand on top of a desk, which shrugged to Flaga and Murrue.

Natalie: You accusing the OMNI as part of the Earth Alliance as a whole held responsible for Junius Seven!

Zarkta: The only one that made that act is the EA as I remember. They didn't react to put down those Blue Cosmos sympathizers like the poor dogs they are.

Natalie felt his teeth clenched harder from his response. Murrue intervenes before it escalates.

Murrue: Both of you! Stop, please.

She shouted.

Murrue: That's enough. I do not wish for any escalation of this conversation.

Natalie: But-

Murrue: Lieutenant...

Murrue gives her a serious glare, so Natalie calms down and remains her professionalism.

Murrue: Zarkta, please try to understand. Between Naturals and Coordinators, it is impossible to try to coexist together. Naturals will always be jealous of Coordinators and Coordinators will always look down on them.

Flaga: It's a sad reality, but it's true. There's nothing we can do to try to find them solid ground to have peace negotiation.

Natalie: Which is impossible...

She muttered.

Zarkta: Which is why my leader has plans to deal with this situation. But for now, he only sent me to tag along with you. To understand the Archangel.

Flaga: Uh, can we just talk to your leader instead? It will be great to know him in person.

Zarkta: He is a very, very busy man. He'll contact me so you can meet him. What do you know about me and the people of the Vindictarium Order you meet will be revealed soon.
