Okie dokie, I finalized the pdf file for the volume, cleaned up a couple names (Ah ha I was typing Gyunei instead of Glarv) and tweaked the general formatting. Comments and suggestions welcomed below! Now we can dive into the other version of Char's Counterattack!

Darkness lay heavy on the block, illuminated faintly by fluorescent panels. Some areas were brighter than daylight when fully powered. This was the Axis tunnel.

But her stubborn determination won out over Amuro's reprimand. The tube mel...
As requested, I've compiled the first volume into a mess of a PDF file. I don't know what I was doing when I was translating this at the time. There are a couple chapters that are utter disasters (maybe I was translating when I had COVID?) so I'll definitely be revisiting them in the future. Unti...

At Axis's pier, the Rewloola lay moored. Glarv Guss snapped to attention before Mesta Mesua.

Mesta spoke with formality before attempting to board the Rewlool...
As promised a while back, here's the compilation of the second Hathaway's Flash novel (now with chapter photos). Hopefully this works for everyone. Yeah, it's 6" x 9" (paperbook size).

It's Tuesday somewhere in a parallel universe. Sorry about that. Either way, today is a sad day but a happy day. It marks the end of another great Gundam serial.

The fleet of Ra Cailum evaded the sporadic missile attacks from the Rewloola fleet, putting up a barrage of anti-missile and particle fire to maintain distance.

Hathaway slowed the Gundam to a near-hover, then opened the hatch in front of the cockpit. Even as he did so, a gust of wind rushed in, causing Gigi to sway perilously.
