Meanwhile, Alfred's friend, Christina Mackenzie, who is a bridge officer aboard the Federation carrier Albion, receives orders to transport a new mobile suit to their base.

As the team reaches the river, they encounter the Zeon forces, who are planning to blow up the bridge in order to slow down the Federation's advance.
