Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team (機動戦士ガンダム 第08MS小隊)

GUNDAM 08TH MS TEAM

THE TIME LIMIT ON TRUST

Guess all that combat training is paying off.

Joshua!

What the hell?!

You OK Chief?

Yeah thanks to you. But I've never had support fire come that close.

Well at least now you've seen what I can do.

Where did that come from Eledore?

Pill box! Top of the hill!

But why is it so accurate?

Ah shit! Now they're shooting at us! The Zekes sure have damn good ears over there!

Yeah.

Commander! The enemy fire is thinning out.

All units! It looks like they're moved in to trap us.

Shit. They're all around us.

Team scatter and fall back. We'll have to change our strategy.

Moving out!

OK they've got 3 pill boxes out front, a trench covered by Zakus,

and some nasty hill terrain for good measure. That's the highway huh?

Yes. It's the most vital route they have for getting supplies to their forces

waiting on the front lines.

I bet the Federal Forces could use it too. We could probably take it

but that village presents a problem.

Right! We can't let the Zeeks continue to occupy it.

How to attack pill boxes that use the natural terrain so well? Wish we could

call in some support for this...

But they'll hunt us down if we wait for backup to arrive.

Yeah you're right. If only we could... what's this?

A waterfall.

If one of us follow the river around these hills we could hit them

with a sneak attack. Much easier said than done.

That area is crawling with guerrillas.

Guerrillas?

So how do we run this sneak attack? ‐I've seen the falls once already so I'll go.

You have sir? You'll run the sneak attack?

The Commander's got the least experience of all of us which means he's

the most expendable right?

Joshua I'm turning over command of the team to you.

But sir...

No “buts” that's an order.

Yes sir. Right.

Very good. So we'll do it in, well let's say 3 hours. I want the team to start its frontal

assault at that time. I can definitely be there by then to start the sneak attack.

Right. But be aware that without you we can only hold out an hour or so against that

kind of heavy fire.

I know that. Chief take the team through the viaduct beneath the highway and wait there

until 1500 hours. At that time hit the Zeeks with all you got. That is all.

Try not to get caught by the guerrillas.

Well I thought the guerrillas were just civilians.

You kidding? Those civilians are the ones you gotta watch out for.

Men! Get ready to move out. ‐Yeah yeah.

Watch yourself Commander.

Welcome back.

Of course nobody's even here.

Hey what's going on here?

Leaving the front line Mr. Ensign?

Looks like the little pervert didn't learn his lesson from the last time.

Who would? Lucky bastard.

You want on the water slide? You gotta pay admission.

Thought you were gonna get another peep show now didn't ya?

Hell we've never even seen that!

Cut it out it was an accident!

Hold him down I'll get his stuff.

Mighty fancy equipment!

Wait you don't know how to work that thing.

Just watch me.

Hey hey wait! Wait what're you doing? Wait! Stop! Wait make it stop help me! Make it stop!

Make it stop!

Stop don't fool with that suit get away from there!

You can't tell us what to do!

Be honest you wanted to have me now didn't ya?

What, I mean?

I swear you military men are always the same. Rude with dirty little minds.

You've gotta hell of a lot of nerve. And who are you to judge me? What would you know?

What do you mean?

You're a kid what could you know?

Bastard.

Well then if I'm a kid why were you watching?

Well... well 'cuz you're nice to look at.

Now that we're clear whaddya say? Will you let me go?

Dear BB: There's been a break in the combat yet I can feel the tension building

inside all of us. Now as I ready myself for battle Eledore is tracking the enemy's

movements. He studies the sonar panel listening, his concentration

so intense that...

What idiot made this song a number one hit? ANOTHER LOVE LETTER?

Don't you ever work?

Hey I'm ready for action! I was just writing‐

I told you not to overdo it or she'll dump your ass!

Eledore! ‐Yeah?

It's time.

Roger.

Come on! I said I was sorry!

Shut up you little shit!

How many times do I have to tell you I have no time to waste with you people?!

Believe it or not we're busy too pal.

Damn it! I don't have time for this where are you taking me?

And quit poking me with that!

You're about to meet someone so you better be polite.

Well introduce yourself.

The boss I presume?

What brings you to our part of the world Ensign Shiro Amada?

Look I'm sorry I came without permission but right now I'm on a mission that just can't wait!

And?

You can't possibly have any reason to keep me! I beg of you please let me go.

Did you hear what I said?

Oh my God. Please you have to let me go!

Please excuse me we do this every day at this time.

Damn it! You've gotta listen to me!

Let's move! Well Eledore?

Pretty quiet up here Chief. Must be teatime for our friends.

Say Chief do you suppose the Commander made it through?

His confidence convinced me. Let's move out!

Right.

Just listen. Try to understand. The Zeon are your enemies as well as the

Federation's right? If we can take out the gun emplacements in that occupied

village doesn't that help you guys too? My friends are waiting for me and they need

me to pull this plan off!

If we liberate that village from the Zeon your friends and family who live there will

be free of them. Please! Let me go!

That's it! Hit 'em with everything you've got!

Hope he's there.

Might as well give up soldier boy!

Hey! You think you can try something like that in front of our boss!?

My team is my first concern! If you don't let me go they'll die before I even get

the chance to know any of 'em. Damn it let me go!

Rude little fart ain't he?

You can say that again!

Fart head. Hehehe!

Daddy what if... what if we use him to take back the village from those Zeon bastards?

All of us have friends and family living in that village. If his plan works they won't

have to work for the Zeon anymore.

Yes that is true.

Yes! I promise! We're going to free them!

What do you think dad?

You know there are many sick and injured people in the village.

You need medicine we'll get it for you no problem!

On top of that we want the Zeon to suffer.

Oh we'll make 'em suffer! And you can have all the war spoils!

Talk's cheap kid!

Still the word of a captured soldier isn't very reliable. Is it Kiki?

I think it'll be alright daddy. Besides he owes me one.

He sure does!

A little one.

Very funny you guys are a real crackup. I'll watch 'em dad. Let me keep an eye on him. OK?

As if you'd listen to me if I said no. Ensign for the time being we will have a truce.

Close call for you pal.

And you better be thanking the girl!

Kiki I want you to show the Ensign the way back to the waterfall.

Oh this is great! There's dirt all over the controls!
