Members of the GDF. My name is Athrun Zala, a member of ZAFT Special Forces. I...have fought against you on a few occasions in the past -- I was the soldier who stole the X303 Aegis from the colony of Heliopolis. But for now, I am going to stop following the Council's orders.
As some of you may know, my father, Patrick Zala, succeeded Siegel Clyne as the Chairman of the PLANTs. I'm afraid...I'm afraid that his current goal with this war is to eliminate every last living Natural in the Earth Sphere. He's gotten more and more radical ever since the war began...and I barely recognize him now.
Anyway, my father gave me my current mobile suit -- the Justice -- to hunt down and either capture or destroy a mobile suit that was stolen from ZAFT. You can rest assured that I have no intention of doing so now. I don't agree with my father -- I don't believe the existence of Naturals poses a threat to Coordinators. And instead of pursuing this insane goal, ZAFT should be trying to protect the Earth Sphere from the myriad of other threats facing it.
If the higher-ups here on Independence 1 will permit it, I'd like to stay here for a little while. However, I need to eventually return to the PLANTs. I need to try to make my father see reason. If I fail, I promise I will return to the GDF...and if I have to fight ZAFT, I will fight them every bit as seriously as I fought Blue Cosmos in Orb.

Kira, Cagalli, when I leave, I will be leaving the Justice here. I want the two of you to watch over it. Maintenance should be little different from maintenance on the Freedom, but what I'm most worried about is the N-Jammer Canceler. I ask that the two of you stop the GDF technicians from analyzing it and reverse-engineering it at all costs. We can't risk such a dangerous device being leaked to the rest of the Earth Sphere -- particularly Blue Cosmos.
