Here's an example where Sosuke piloted the main AS (Arbalest) in a civilian clothes using joysticks at the 1:27 Mark:

People killed by Prospera (or Eri under Prospera's request): - The terrorists threatening Suletta at Plant Quetta in episode 12 - The SAL soldiers attacking Quiet Zero (and tus Eri) in episode 21 and 22 (those soldiers were attacking because Quiet Zero is a Benerit assets, they didn't even know about Prospera) Prosera and Eri has yet to kill anyone who isn't directly threatening a family member. |

I guess disabling all the mechs wasn't enough, Eri also had to kill all the helpless pilots.
And Prospera is directly responsible for the tensions on Earth escalating into a massacre.

There is 5 people inside of Quiet Zero, they were not taking 60+ military ship worth of soldiers, with orders to shoot on sight, as prisoners. Quote:

And destroying the Gundams was definitively not a false flag and since there was no Earthians troops and those Gundams aren't supposed to exist, she didn't break the ceasefire either. |

The Earthians only go full assault on the Benerit troops after they hear the explosions caused by the Gundams getting destroyed. Benerit troops only start fighting back when one of them panics and start to shoot back. |

Even if I were to believe that those two events have nothing to do with each other, she still opened fire in a veritable powder keg of an area, despite knowing what could very well happen. It was a deliberate act aimed to manipulate Benerit into violent actions so Prospera could get what she wanted; Miorine as president.

Regarding a potential continuation.
So we've got a setting wherein pilots of the titular Gundams or to be more specific mobile suits that use the Gund-Arm technology as their control method is a death sentence. Unless you’re the MC and happen to have the one exception Gundam that doesn’t kill you cause it’s got the one special person who synced with the data storms biometrics inside it. The powers that be green-light another two cours for WfM. How do you deal with this little issue? 1. MC pilots Aerial who totally survived 23’s space laser for another 25 episodes 2. MC goes even further beyond in 24 and becomes one with/immune to the data storm. 3. The data storm decides to stop killing people cause it feels bad or something. 4. She doesn’t pilot a Gundam in the second half. Heresy of the highest order. 5. You introduce a new MC who also happens to be special like Eri was while Suletta retires to the tomato farms on Earth at the ripe old age of 18 with her wife Miorine.

So yeah, I'm not convinced with the mocap for AS control in general unless you can show me some quotes, clips or screencaps with source.

Details like that, the earth vs space race war, etc will either wind up being just set dressing for Prospera’s Eri QZ plot or one of several conflicts actually addressed in a potential S2. Are they mere world building details or actual questions/issues the story intends to address. For now it's the former.

Although, I think I see where you are coming from. You think the Earthians thought the Benerit troops were setting them up with the tank and returning fire on them. But nothing suggest that in the dialogues or the sequence of events: - tank fire at Aerial - considerable lapse of time so Aerial can fly outside of the city, pick up the gun, find and get into the underground bunker and then fire the gun - Gundams explode underground outside the city behind a mountain - Earthian A: An attack!? - Earthian B: They did it, its's the Spacians! - Earthian troops start to unload everything on the Benerit troops. The Earthians B didn't check what exploded or if any of their troops were actually attacked. As for Prospera wanting Miorine as President. I'm actually puzzled about it personally. It doesn't appear to be the case with Prospera ghosting Miorine back on Earth and booting up Quiet Zero almost at the same time Miorine got elected President. I've seen a lots of people complaining about it online too. |

I think Eri is technically a co-protagonist if you want to stretch it because she's been there from the start and was there the whole time as Aerial but Suletta is more of the main character.
