The nuclear warheads were discovered in one of the Mountain Cycles. One was blown up by Gavin Gooney. Loran took the remainder and stowed them in the chest of the Turn A Gundam so that he could take them to space and dispose of them there.

As Sochie stares at the crater, Loran explains to her and Miashei that they can't leave the Kapool. Sochie asks how long the area will be polluted, and Loran says it will kill all life for a very long time. Out of nowhere, Loran suggests to Sochie that she should go to the Soleil. At the Soleil, Pou and Phil discuss how the nuclear bombs could change the balance of power in the war. Phil wants the bombs and orders Pou to find them. She takes off in a flight booster equipped SUMO and heads for the crater. Aims and John survey the damage near the crater, and Aims cries over Gavane's death. Ralfa wakes up and finds that only he and another WaD pilot named Leia survived the blast. He sees that his WaD is holding two nuclear bombs and remembers that he grabbed it to prevent the Militia from getting it. Leia spots Borjarnons nearby, and Ralfa decides to retreat. As they run away, Pou flies by overhead and spots them. Leia accidentally mentions the nuclear bombs, and Pou demands that Ralfa hand them over. Ralfa refuses and runs away. Pou shoots at Ralfa, and Leia is knocked away while trying to stop Pou. After Ralfa escapes, Leia yells at Pou and Pou realizes it was careless to shoot at Ralfa while he had the bombs. As Ralfa runs he spots the Turn A and Kapool. Sochie wants to attack, and Miashei tells him to go away when she sees the bombs. Ralfa asks for their help and runs away when Pou's SUMO approaches. The Turn A and Kapool run towards the SUMO, and Pou panics and escapes. Loran tells Ralfa he is willing to die if he can get to Dianna and stop the war. Ralfa volunteers to do that and says he has lost the will to be a soldier after seeing terrible weapons like nuclear bombs. He gives Loran the bombs and tells him to bury them in a mountain or toss them in the ocean. Loran places the bombs in the Turn A's multipurpose chest silo and packs them together with dirt to prevent them from moving around. On the Soleil, Phil explains that if they have the nuclear bombs they can easily beat the Militia. Dianna says those weapons could recreate the dark history, and he says he is tired of her weakness and hesitance. She asks him what he would do if he were in her place, and he says he would fight all of the Earth to create a nation for the Moonrace. In the next room, Kihel listens in to the conversation. Phil says that if they don't stop hesitating that they'll never find out what Agrippa wants and will lose to him. Dianna tells Miran to have Phil killed. Ralfa, Sochie and Miashei approach the Soleil and are ordered to stop by a squad of WaDoms and WaDs. They ask Ralfa why he brought the enemy with him, and he explains that he's bringing them as Earth representatives to speak to Dianna and stop the war. When Sochie moves the Kapool forward, the WaDs attack. Ralfa gets in the way and starts fighting off the WaDs. Kihel sees Sochie from a window, and Harry comes into the room and grabs her. Dianna runs to see the battle, and Phil pulls a gun on her. Harry and Kihel run out behind Phil, and Dianna makes it seem like she is Kihel. Kihel is placed in a transport shuttle while Harry gets into his SUMO. As Kihel flies by the battle, she tells Sochie to escape quickly. Kihel tells Harry they have to go to Zacktraeger so they can go to the Moon and confront Agrippa. Ralfa escapes the grip of a WaDom and keeps fighting off the WaDs. He pushes the Kapool to gets it to move. Sochie and Miashei run off, and Ralfa's WaD breaks down and collapses. He says that using nuclear bombs will recreate the dark history and dies. Joseph shows up with his FLAT and helps Sochie and Miashei escape. Elsewhere, Loran remembers Guin telling him that whoever finds the super weapon of the dark history will win the war. Loran now has that weapon, but he knows he can't give it to either side. Fran and several soldiers arrive to meet with Joseph. The soldiers tell Joseph that they intercepted Moonrace communications and that the Willgem will travel across the ocean to a place called Manupichi. Quite a lot of things happen this time. After the fallout from the nuclear explosion, everyone seems to want to get their hands on nuclear weapons. Neither side seems to really understand how horrible nuclear weapons are, despite seeing evidence firsthand. Phil seems to be more and more of a power-crazed madman who will destroy anything to accomplish what he wants. He says treasonous things to Dianna and follows up on his remarks by rebelling against her. Phil seems to have the support of Dianna Counter, so Dianna is technically a prisoner among her own people. The Willgem seems to be setting out for a voyage to Manupichi, and I'll bet that's somehow connected with Zacktraeger. Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 stars The Cow was from an episode where Loran was bringing a cow to a Moon race family that needs the milk for their baby. http://www.mahq.net/animation/gundam/turna/tagep8.htm Episode 8: Laura's Cow Review by Chris June 4, 2002 The airship docks outside of Guin's home, and Sochie disembarks. Kihel asks how their mother is doing, and Sochie says maybe she is better the way she is instead of knowing that her daughter is negotiating with her father's killers. Kihel says she wants peace, and Sochie yells at her and says she will do things her own way in the Militia. Sochie gives a battle report to Guin, and he orders Loran to move out with the Turn A and patrol outside of Vicinity. Loran says no one is fighting now because they're looking for assassins, but Guin says he wants Loran to defend their territory from activists. Loran and Sochie leave, and Guin wonders about Dianna. Kihel says that despite their looking alike, she thinks Dianna is probably a good person. He asks what she thinks about Loran, and she says he is an honest kid. Guin says that for someone hiding a secret he tries to be very honest. Sochie wants Loran to teach her how to use the Turn A, but he says he doesn't know enough himself to teach her. He says he doesn't want her fighting, and she yells at him and says he doesn't understand anything about what happened to her father. Nearby, farmers try to fight off a Rib that is building a fence around a Moonrace civilian area. A Moonrace civilian named Guman tries to convince both sides to stop, and he gets butted with a rifle. Loran shows up with the Turn A and pushes the Rib away. Fran sees him and starts taking pictures. Civilians approach her and ask her to explain the truth to people. Keith delivers bread and gets more orders. He sees Guman arguing with soldiers and get butted again with a rifle. Loran, Sochie, Fran and Keith sit down for lunch, and Sochie thinks they are being secretive. On the Soleil, Pou thinks Guin is suspicious and asks Phil for permission to take some WaDs out. Later, Loran asks Sochie to help Guman's sick baby, and she says she doesn't care if it dies in its sleep. She hates the Moonrace and doesn't want to help any of them. Loran and Guman ride on a bicycle so they can get food since the Moonrace army won't give him any. At an abandoned farm, Sochie catches some chickens while Fran gets a little piglet. Keith explores a barn and is attacked by bees. Sochie asks Fran where they came from, and she explains that they moved to the area two years ago. Sochie asks about Loran and says he is too secretive and won't tell her anything. Fran says that he and Keith both have a crush on a certain girl. A big mother pig shows up and starts slamming into the truck because Fran has the piglet. Loran and Guman explore an abandoned farm and find some corn. Guman wonders why the place is empty, and Loran tells him people are frightened from attacks by the Dianna Counter forces. Guman says that on the Moon he was so excited about coming down to the Earth and just wants to survive. Guman spots a big cow and wants to get it, but he and Loran alone are not enough. Loran decides to move the cow with the Turn A. He sees that Sochie and Fran are in trouble and grabs the pig. Once everything is in order, the truck and the Turn A head back to the camp. Pou's WaDs spot them and move in to attack. The truck speeds off, and Loran knocks away the WaDs trying to get to the truck. Pou manages to grab the truck and says she will let it go if Loran surrenders. Loran knows if he surrenders that Pou will discover Sochie is a Militia soldier. Harry drives up in a car and tells Pou to stop fighting. He says Dianna has ordered no one to fight while the search is on for the assassins. Pou leaves, and Guman thanks Harry for his help. Harry promises to report to Dianna about their food shortage. When they return to the camp, Loran sees a group of locals protesting. The accuse the Moonrace civilians of stealing their food and tell them to go to hell. Loran is frustrated and says that everyone is a human and they should work for the sake of their children. They accuse him of being a spy, and he becomes angry. Keith suspects he is about to say something and tells him not to say it. Loran admits that he is of the Moonrace and shocks everyone. He says he will fight anyone who doesn't cherish human life. Afterwards, Sochie slaps him and says he is too cocky. While this episode could be constituted as filler, it has quite a bit of important character developments. We see that Sochie's mind is clouded by the death of Diran, so she sees things very subjectively. She accuses Kihel of helping the Moonrace, and her hatred is very evident when she is with Guman's baby. She is so blinded that she says such a horrible thing about hoping that Guman's baby dies. That's some deep hatred. With Guman and his family we get to see the human side of the Moonrace, but it's clear that Earth locals don't care about his struggles and blame him along with the soldiers from their problems. Sadly, this is always the case in any human struggle where people are reduced down to simply to 'friend' or 'enemy'. This is why Loran feels helpless and reveals his identity to make people understand each other. Too bad it doesn't work in Sochie's case.
