I think the main reason is - when there is conflict, someone is going to profit from it, so if they are the one that "controls it", they will be the ones that benefit from it. At least that's what I think the Corner family is doing. Like I said before, I really think that abandon spaceship scene, where a crew savage the Haro is from the Corner family. > I am curious how the other Observers will react to Alejandro's > treachery.

No - they were not winning the battle for sure, but the odd of them survive for a while is pretty good, if not for shutdown. They were pinned for sure, but they sure aren't really winning. If not for Sumeragi's plan, they would've lost for sure with all four Gundam destroyed, and CB coming to a complete close. > What I found odd was that Alejandro said that they needed to shut down > the Gundams to ensure an HRL victory.

HRL were on Earth dealing with Throne - I listen to the RAW and it certainly seems like he was talking about something that sounds remarkably close to HRL's full name, although it could be what they call the 3 power blog team. As for Throne not deactivited - maybe he's passing it to Ali, so he cannot stop them yet :) > I wonder if the problem with restarting the Virtue was a mechanical > issue related to the Trial System role of the Nadleeh, a technological > problem with the connection between Tieria and Veda, or was it merely > because Tieria was depressed and spaced out because he lost connectivity > to Veda. I would say plot device - besides, the two girls worked non-stop for a while on this, so you cannot expect perfection all the time - it was supposed to be a backup plan. 3 out of 4 aren't that bad - yes, in a life and death situation, it's bad, but they don't know that they have so little time to do it. -------------------------------------------------- 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
