With the retreat of the Sol Theros seen Donna was given the luxury of rest but in front of the Tallgeese. "Colonel, we lost more than half our squadron." Stuart informed.
Donna heard him. "We'll get some rest as well then." As she was going to leave, she was unable to leave the fallen Mobile Suit behind. "Please order a squadron to retrieve Nain- I mean the Tallgeese." She added the request.

Milou was trying to deny that he lost his sister minutes ago. When her body was being dragged out he ran with dark hope to find her alive. He was hit with the brutal truth to find what remained of his sister being brought out by Coalition crewmen. He took off her helmet to seal her lifeless eyes while hiding his tears. McNeil rushed with a white cloth to cover the unpleasant sight. "Please hand her over to me after the battle." He requested. "I need to bring her back to Mars for a burials she deserves."
McNeil gave a quick nod as a sign of compliance. "I'll get a bodybag for you later." He replied before moving away with the body.

Tano was there to see Cao being escorted ot for treatment. "She was the victim of the light?" He asked himself. He saw how the Earth-Sphere pilots were gathering over the Tallgeese. He barely recalled Agent Zelma through a dossier and respected her abilities but he felt that she didn't deserve an end like that.

Donna averted her eyes at what remained of Naina trying to look away. "This is the worst I've seen." said one of the OZ soldiers that docked in the Executor Rising. "At least she wasn't vaporised by the reactor explosion." Another one commented. It was this insensitive comment that made Donna briefly lose her mind. She made her way and grabbed the soldier to kick him in the stomach with her knee. "You do not respect the dead like that!" She yelled, grabbing him by the neck and making sure hers and his helmet brought the message. "If you are a soldier, you would know respects for officers and those that died!"
Suchart tapped Quatre's shoulder to notify him of Donna's corporal action. He quickly moved to stop the scuffle, pushing the insubordinate soldier away. "Donna, stand down!" He ordered with a stern voice.
Donna was trying to keep her frustration in check. "But I had to let him know that it isn't acceptable." She poorly attempted to reason.
The Instructor gave a sigh. "Although discipline is important, you can't beat the respect out of your men." He explained. He gave her a slap but the helmet reduced the impact and only made her dizzy. "The goggles were passed on to me by Rashid as a sign of respect. I passed it on to you for the same reason. If you can't be a leader then you're not worthy of the goggles." The harsh lecture was given but being Quatre he found it unnerving of himself to say it.
Sandesgeist's pilot was left to interpret what her mentor said. She returned to the pilot she was beating earlier. "I'm sorry for the disproportionate action." She apologised. "But remember that the dead are worth respect for what they sacrificed their lives for." She left him alone to return to her Gundam.
