Well, it did take a month longer than I wanted it to take. My travel plans and my photo frenzy delayed things for quite a bit.
The new chapter can be found at:
http://www.gundamwingtales.com/novel3/chapter1_part2_1.html This chapter follows - once again - the series very closely, but there are some very interesting details. First, we learn more about what happened to Zechs after he surrendered at the South Pole than the TV series tells us. And second, most importantly, Zechs' mask does not break... he throws it away! This makes his abandoning OZ a much more deliberate act than in the series I think. And third, he fights the battle to the end. In the series, he just flies off after slashing at a few mobile suits, but in the book, he fights until nobody remains alive except him. This makes more sense to me actually.
The next chapter (where Duo gets captured by OZ...) is shorter again, but I am still busy with photos and traveling, so I'd say... end of August. Hopefully before, but that deadline should be feasible.
At least I hope so... :-) And thanks for reading!
