Angsting in Prison

[Sitting curled up with his head on his knees, Quatre is beating himself up for what he has done.]

[Private, but totally hackable because of his current mental state.]

How....How could I do something like that?  It was bad enough that I destroyed that one colony, but to attack my friends?  They even tried to reason with me, but I was just too ( Read more... )

Kira sustained heavy injuries, but he will survive.

As for you, the guilt is now yours to bear, Quatre. To take innocent lives make you no better than a terrorist. I understand you have your reasons, but nothing justifies killing civilians, regardless of what is promised to you. As the saying goes, "absolute power corrupts absolutely".

He's going to be all right? Thank Allah...

You're right, absolute power does corrupt absolutely. And I will spend the rest of my life trying to make up for what I've done, even though I don't deserve the chance to.

...I should have just stuck to rebuilding Sandrock. I wish I had never come across the plans for Wing Zero and the ZERO System.

...Quatre, with all of my heart, I want to be angry at you. Kira is unconscious. Lockon is... in similar condition, and will probably lose an eye. As a sniper, this is debilitating. These people, they were both my friends, people I would trust my lives with. An enemy of theirs is a swore enemy of mine. But...

Vengeance is not what either of them would want. Up until the very end, Kira trusted you. He threw himself in the line of fire for your sake, and if you think there was any other reason he did it, you're a fool. Yes, he wanted to save the colony, but more importantly, he wanted to save youI don't interact well with others. I don't know if I can accept what you've done, not for a very long time. But I do believe that your guilt is punishment enough for your actions. You are strong combatant, and from what I have been told, a warm and trusting person. Don't allow this to ruin you. If you should return to fighting for the EDF, you must do so with resolution. Look to the past for motivation, not absolution and wallowing in your own ( ... )

Setsuna...While I still feel guilty and probably will be for a long time, I won't let it stop me from doing what I think is right. I know that Kira...Kira would be the first to knock some sense into me if I did let this stop me. So if you all will let me, once I find out what is going to happen to me, I would like to continue fighting along side of everyone here.

One more thing. Can I ask what happened to Wing Zero? Did the EDF retrieve it or leave it behind? Because if it was left behind, we may be in trouble.

I will think of you, and I hope the EDF's verdict will be lighter in the face of your remorse.

I'm sorry, but I do not know what became of Wing Zero. That might be a question for someone else. That Gundam, though... its strength was almost unreal. How did you acquire it? As you experienced yourself, in the wrong hands it is a force for absolute evil.

Well, I found the plans when I went back to my home colony to rebuild Sandrock. But after my father died...Well, I decided to build that one instead because of it's power.

But it's not the Gundam itself that's the biggest danger. What needs to be destroyed is the piloting system inside of it, the ZERO System. That system gives you major tactical advantage against your enemies, but in return it takes over the pilot's mind.

I can only hope it was brought back here or completely destroyed.

Takes over the pilot's mind? I see... so you were not entirely yourself, then.

There is such thing as a powerful Gundam, but there is also such thing as a destructive weapon, a weapon that should never see the light of day. It would be better off disposed of, as a threat to both you and others.

ZERO managed to convince me that everyone was my enemy and they had to be destroyed. I shudder to think of what I might have done if you guys hadn't shown up to stop me.

Which is why I want to know what happened to it. If someone who enjoys killing others gets ahold of it...I fear for the Earth and the Colonies.

I will see what can I do in acquiring information about that. I agree, it's very important that we find out its condition.

For now, I think you're going to be sitting in this cell for awhile. I'll try to see you again if I can. Jail time is enough to drive anyone crazy.

Thank you Setsuna. I appreciate you coming down here to talk with me.
