Quickly rewatching and highlighting some of what’s going on in the episode. Let’s see how far off the mark I am:

• Front’s 3 districts (?) passed a resolution for a budget to purchase Gundam-type MS manufactured by Aux-Earth.

• The company’s weapon system are considered a major concern because of BIOETHICAL issues for pilots

• Accountability of Aux and MS Dev Council questioned!

• GUND Format was originally medical tech intended to assist with body dysfunctions that happen in space, but when Aux acquired that research, GUND format was converted to military use in MS, so the problem of physical damage caused by data storms popped up.

• Colossal 18-meter bodies operating in a microbial climate are forcibly linked to and controlled by human bodies. The load on the pilots is immeasurable!

• The MS buildup could give the Earth Side an excuse to expand their forces and accelerate tensions between both parties

• Eri’s mom and dad discuss issues still happening with the suit. They need a sponsor.

• Shady discussions, press conference is in an hour. Oh, they guess it’s the end for Aux-Earth.

• Will this person agree, is this plan that’s in motion okay, what’s the point now?

• MS Dev council has to make a decision. For the sake of peace for mankind, the iron hammer against the witches (lol what)

• Eri’s mom owes her life to Doc Cardo

• The phone call to Eri’s dad! The council is convening. Tech isn’t ready yet.

• Delling is working behind the scenes.

• Comms dude isn’t sure what they’re gonna pull, but Eri’s dad needs to be careful.

• Docking ship, shady hacking being done outside.

• Nyla yells for Wendy to help her with the ship that’s coming in. Wendy grumbles about tariff rates going up

• Wendy says transportation isn’t free (whatever).

• Eri wanders into hangar. Cardo tells her when she asks about the suits that the Lfrith is special bc her parents need a body that can adapt to outer space to survive.

• GUND will open up possibilities for humanity. A new door

• The old bat links Eri to the suit.

• Ulysses (battleship), meanwhile, finished their deployment.

• Plans are in motion

• The press conference begins.

• Council decides to freeze all Gundam-type MS development. The council is taking enforcement action (?) under admin codes or whatever against Aux-Earth that developed the suits.

• Cardo asks surprised staff about the ship coming in. They need it stopped. She knows what’s up.

• At the press conf, Sarius continues saying to ensure order and ethics in MS Dev, they’ve also established an auditing organization known as Cathedral (?). Their rep is Delling Rembran (ahaha military guy)

• Dominicos team launches.

• Wendy and Nyla notice the infiltration. Nyla tells Wendy to get out.

• Neither parents know where Eri is. Eri’s dad decides to go out to fight the enemy.

• The MP Lfrith launch.

• It’s been a while since Eri’s dad had the sensation he’s experiencing during combat.

• Enemy isn’t sure what type of weapon he’s using

• Delling starts talking

• Seeing many battlefields, he’s come to one conclusion: weapons should exist only to kill people. Something something having a tool solely to kill people, you bear the guilt for that. Something about their mobile suits being different, considering lives of opponents and pilots

• Punishment for taking a life must be imposed by a person, not a machine

• More philosophical drivel.

• Cardo is cornered in her office. She says her body is too fragile for humans born in Earth’s cradle to leave space. They can only go out into space by wearing GUND

• Eri’s mom finds her in the cockpit, she’s shocked that the suit is fully linked to her daughter.

• They launch into space.

• 1, 2, 3, Eri shoots down the enemy gleefully.

• The two get cornered by the Beguir-Beu

• Dad comes to save the day.

• Sings happy birthday with her

• Enemy is perplexed by him singing with his little girl. Orders comms cut but they can’t.

• Suit goes BOOM!

• Deller closes out saying they’ll deny all Gundams or whatever.

*END*

Anyways, a rough summary of the episode to tide people over until subs come out.
