★ 4.9/10 TMDB Premiered 2006-06-16 1 season 13 eps

Saeko Shirasu is a 25-year-old war front-line photo-journalist who became a celebrity after taking a picture of civilians raising a makeshift UN flag in war-torn Uddiyana. The image then became an instant symbol for peace. However, just before the peace agreement is achieved, the flag was stolen by an armed extremist group in order to obstruct the truce. The UN peacekeepers decide to covertly send in a SDC (pronounced as "Seedac"—Special Development Command) unit to retrieve the flag. Because of her connection with the "Flag" photo, Saeko Shirasu was offered the job of following the SDC unit as a front line journalist. Among the SDC unit's equipment is the HAVWC (High Agility Versatile Weapon Carrier—pronounced "havoc") mecha armored vehicle.

S1E13 — Into the Light

At Shirasu's release, she is told by an official that her photos will be withheld for censorship because they include footage inconvenient for the UN. She's told she'll never see any SDC team member again and given a last letter from Eversalt. It contains her lucky charm, which she had lost during the battle. At home, she discovers an SD card with her uncensored photo material in it. An accompanying video by the SDC members bides her a heartfelt farewell and encourages her to publish the truth.
