their intention could indeed be to repair Freedom at OrbOriginally posted by: DDBen
This is correct but AA plans to head underwater straight for Orb so I would imagine that if they really wanted to they could repare Freedom at Orb given there resources and the fact thats where it was repaired after the final battle in Seed.
but i must say the latter of your statement might just be an assumption
since all i've seen is a completely repaired Freedom in a hangar in Orb
it could be repaired in space right after the battle but before they headed back to earth
but that in itself is nothing more then an assumption
and i must admit a far less likely assumption then yours
