[1, shortly after the mission]
With Lord Moswar's death, a moot will be organized. He has left no one to call an heir, so his titles and the Lord's Arm will be given to others - all knights of Ankaia can participate in the moot and decide on that and other important matters.
But his death is just an excuse for the moot to gather. The real reason for the gathering will be to make a unified decision regarding Earth. Lord Moswar's faction lost its head. There is yet possibility of peace.
In the meantime, I will remain here. Lord Moswar's actions were against Earth's good - and Ankaia's as well. I made a vow to guard the innocents against him and the likes of him. I will not break that vow, so until that time...
I hope you will allow me to fight by your side.

[There is one more thing that a lot of people will probably ask Sielje about. The title Moswar used to refer to her, that made her so angry...]
Lord Moswar had in his grasp - the secret of Power Within. There used to be a time when that was the case for every of Ankaia's warriors, but nowadays only a few chosen know its incantation. The ultimate technique of self-actualization, any knight may use it once and once alone.
The reason for that is it draws upon the life force of the one who uses it. An old or weak person's life may become quickly extinguished... and even if you survive, you are not the same. Your strength, potency, are but shadows of their former selves.
Such a survivor is known as a Burned Out.

So the weapons of Earth are not powered by their wielders' might? Of course, they are not made from hide and bone of beasts of Ankaia... but does it not allow for even a weakling to excel in combat, if his or her tools are good?
[Sielje asks this question while sitting atop of a Genoace - the mobile suit took only a few steps from where it stood before losing balance and collapsing. You can probably guess who was the pilot, since she was the one who left the cockpit...]

You have still defeated me, but...
[She shakes the hand semi-absentmindedly, before realizing.]
Wait! Are you recruiting me into your organisation?

She shrugs. "In shorter words...fight for what you believe is right. That should be no problem, da?"

Should yours and Ankaia's goals be opposite, which one would I follow? If I swear loyalty... there would be no course of action for me to take without breaking a vow.

She leans in. 'I promise you this, Sielje. The Unity Group will never give aid to the Fumerco Corporation. Nor will we attempt to conquer the lands of Ankaia. Even if you decline to join us, we seek to do right by yours and ours."

[Sielje quickly adds. No need for cutting, here.]
I... cannot promise my loyalty to Unity Group to last forever. I want to return to my homeland one day.
But for as long as there is a need, your group's cause is mine. We will defend the Earth and its people together.

And then she bends down, pulls out a key, and removes the tracking bracelet from Sielje's ankle.
"As an associate of the UG, we should find you a lodging, I suppose." Sasha muses. "Any preferences?"
From:

[Sielje got used to the tracker. So much, she almost forgot it's there - but now it's gone, she feels lighter somehow.]
I see, please disregard that. Lodging, yes? Lodging...
Even if I lived in a prisoner's cell, I did not feel discomfort. I do not have much in the way of preference as I do not lack anything except...
