I think the HD screenshots shows they're still there.
As for Celestial Being killing their own scientists out of place, it isn't really. The groups operate on end justifying the means basis over the years. They've caused an energy crisis (as to increase the promotion of Aeolia's SES) in the past as well as to help ensure the creation of the blocs, they've kidnapped scientists, etcetc.
The Ptolemaios faction seem to be the exception to this rather than being the rule. They were made out of people who wanted to change things for the better but they have their own limits to the extent their willing to go, and they're mostly unware of a lot of the things their larger organization has done over the years since it's always on a need to know basis. Even the Observers were mostly unhappy with the method that the Ptolemaios faction has been conducting their interventions(which kinda shows what moral grounds they stand on), due to their perceived incompetence as well as their effect of not terrorizing the world as much as they should have. That's why they were so willing to approve of the Trinities when Alejandro presented them, they didn't like the current members of the Ptolemaios faction.
Even during the 0 Gundam's test run like 6 years prior to S1, Ribbons was under orders to kill all witnessess that saw the 0 Gundam but he disobeyed the order and spared Setsuna on a whim, because he saw Setsuna looked up at him "like a God", and this was the inspiration for him to start his deviation from the Plan as well as to choose Setsuna as a Gundam Meister later. (it's because of Ribbons forcing the position onto Setsuna was why Tieria was so suspicious of him because he saw that they were some altered data on the Exia Meister seat and the position was locked from the start. The other two human Meisters was chosen by scout "closet" Innovade named Grave)

EDIT: Oh yeah, SonicSP, I found that 90% no conflict source: http://ninteenpointzerofour.wordpres...-mechanic-dx7/
It was from Great Mechanics DX7. It talks about S2, so I think UN/ESF have some share of the results. |
I was looking through my Gundam 00 text data files and I found where I got the
(CB incited energy crisis) info from. It came from the 00 World Report book summary that someone translated. I don't remember where I got it from except that I just copy pasted it from a forum where someone just copy pasted the translation from somewhere else
(mechatalk I suspect, those are impossible to backtrack) before the days I became a regular forumer so to speak. I can give you the .txt file if you want, contains the translation and the original japanese characters. I don't know where the summary came from, but I'm suspecting kouryakukan perhaps if not some other random Japanese blog.
Specifically though, it mentions that Veda incited the energy crisis rather than Celestial Being but I guess that sort of falls under the "The Plan" macro group so to speak I guess.
As much as I hated Andrei, his death scene with that song was pretty awesome.
