Didn't even notice this reply. Oh well, blame new episodes.

not to mention, considering how Zero DID escape from that situation, it sounds like they didn't take enough precautions  |
You can hardly defend against de facto teleportation. They didn't know Lelouch could do that. Their precautions had him. Plus, look at what Rolo went through. He had to wipe out dozens of mechs and an airship at the cost of his life. They were that prepared to kill him.
They weren't going to give him an opportunity to speak. Kallen's presence merely gave them enough pause to get a word in. They'd have shot him dead if he had come alone.

As this latest episode notes, there were documents left behind. The research wasn't completely destroyed, only set back, and not much at that. Charles has the knowledge of what they've done, the means to continue it, and more importantly the ultimate result, intact.

She may not need to kill the scientists as they do not have the data committed to memory; erasing the data would still mean it would take months for them to recreate what she made... and who's to say for certain they could reverse engineer the other remaining bombs... hell she could just set off a bomb in the same ship they did in all the research and wipe out almost everything in one blow, including any scientist that might be able to recreate the bomb based off any remaining bombs... many ways to explain how to do this with a little help from plot

Schneizel's power of plot outweighs hers. He controls everything that comes from his projects. So too does he control Nina's work. No doubt he would take steps to keep it safe in case she had second thoughts.

Even with Knightmares, they were still just a nuisance. The Britannian army still had better tech and better resources. Only Zero was capable of making them more.
