Rebellion oneshots 3: "Lilia Flaubert 0084"

The third of these of four Rebellion bonus oneshots Masato Natsumoto included in shinsoban rereleases of his older manga, this one focusing on Lilia Flaubert. This one shows us what happened to her after the events of the One Year War and gives us some insight into how she got to the point she is at by the time we see in her Gundam Legacy. 

Some interesting things I'd like to note here, among these are the mention of Federation concentration camps, implying that the Federation was illegally detaining and mistreating Zeon POWs after the war ended, which is a cruel and somewhat sickening parallel to something like the Vietnam War, where Vietnam held American POWs long after the war had ended. The mention of Silver Lance being a setup for the final arc in Gundam Legacy, and lastly the attempt at humanizing Mallet a bit more. I like that we at least know better what drives Mallet and he has a somewhat sensible motivation despite him being an unhinged psychopath. I found this one a lot more interesting than the Ford bonus chapter I published here last week.

I'd also like to give a big thanks to GIT_LAB and TrafalgarLog for supplying us with the raws for this project or we would never have done these cool Natsumoto bonus chapters. Also No More Cheese Dip for being the real unsung hero of Moon Moon Scans. This chapter was purely him working with the raws and Hichikarah's translations, with no input from me, and just one line change request from Hichikarah in his rewrites.
