Apology hardly needed on that one. The defections that take place aren't nearly as common as the infamous 'Monster of the Week' syndrome. It's more to do with the reputation that the show has, and a quip that seems to fit that reputation. As far as Four is concerned, it should probably be added that not only is her attachment to Camille important, but also the treatment that she receives from the Axis and the newtype researchers who 'created' her. The attitude toward her is first shown in Hong Kong, along with her petulant backlash as she willfully defies orders once she finally gets some freedom. It gets reinforced in Kilimanjaro where she's shown being more or less switched on and off by the leadership. You're right in that there's no moral underpinings to her defection, though it doesn't take a genius to see why she'd try to jump ship when Camille shows up. junior -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
