The reality of the situation hits the remaining Spatial-Awareness Corps as their leader slams their fist onto the catwalk railing of the improvised mechanics bay of the Nottingham.
"That damned Coordinator with the Moebius!" He yells out, the rest of the team shaken at their exasperated reaction "I told him to mind his distance after they shot that mammoth gun and now-!"
Mu is the first one to however, dial them down, stepping to their side as he firmly holds their shoulder "Spencer, Hold it together. We can't afford to split our focus on objectives like Endymion HQ is telling us to."
Something that the lone woman in the group scoffed at, as they floated down into the fray "Easy for you to say, ZAFT's got a clear touchdown to the surface of the moon and we haven't been able to do jack to their ships! Who knows if they'll come with reinforcements?" Cruz seemed hopeless about the situation "I'm hearing the Eurasian and East Asian forces are preparing to rout. Maybe if we wing for their retrea-."
<span class="mu-i">That plan seemed sensible, with the Vesalius-Class coming close to the Moon, enough to properly set a siege to its underground installations. Endymion's mounting losses meant it might as well be forfeit to the advancing ZAFT.</span>
Yet...
Jamil stepped up forth "We can't abandon everyone who's died for the defense of the Moon! You guys know if ZAFT gets a foothold on the satellite, they can broaden their militaries to Moscow, D.C and Hong Kong if they wished to!"
And... Jamil wasn't wrong that the proximity to the satellite would allow ZAFT to attempt rushes into the Alliance's capital cities in a campaign to force capitulation.
Case in point, there was only a sense of dissolution amongst the spatial-awareness Corps priorities of living to fight another day and the potential implications of ZAFT destroying and holding part of the Moon.
<span class="mu-i">That came to change as the Nottingham rumbled, shaking the crew around the catwalk as the faint hold of Gravity takes its weight.</span>
"<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">We've... Received orders to close down into Sub-Orbital defense of Endymion base, Spatial-Awareness Corps are on standby. The 3rd space fleet has been ordered to defend Endymion to the last man.</span></span>"
