Brief summary of the ep
Lotta tense build-up at the start. Even the HRL chairman seems quite tense (though wants 2 Gundams at least).
I think Graham says there's over 800 MS alltogether from Union, AEU and HRL.
This week's light relief from Louise and Saji - his weak attempts to cheer up Louise fall flat... and she demands to be cheered up with a very expensive pair of rings.
CB is lured in by some terrorists set up to attack that facility in the desert. After Lockon snipes the terrorists (and their trucks) from the back of Kyrios, they're attacked by missiles... bombs... long range cannon-fire... mobile suits... Like, frigging everything!
Exia and Virtue were in cloaked mode and come out to give some assistance - Virtue uses bazooka burst mode to attack MS that are so far away they don't show up on the monitor. And makes a LONG furrow in the desert which Lockon and Al use to escape though (heh).
But, everyone is constantly facing long distance firing, which pins them down and wears them out.
At Liu-mei's mansion, the CB crew seem tense and worried. The atmosphere is more like a wake than mission control.
At one point, Lockon comments that he doesn't even have time to eat.
After a long time has passed (over half a day), the better units start coming out - earlier, Orange-kun was unhappy that his new commander wouldn't let him go out, but she says to wait - and promises to make a man out of him (lol). Al gets attacked by Soma again and Hal comes out, but only briefly for some reason - doesn't even kill anyone though Soma got a bit surprised (she also told him her name).
As I predicted last week, Graham literally rams Dynames. This is after the Graham antagonist gets shot down easily after ignoring orders.
All the Meisters are getting worn out by now, and Orange-kun is able to dodge the shots from Virtue - enough to distract Tieria that some special MS with vibrating panels are able to surround Virtue and start attacking it.
Soma seems to have captured Al again, though Sergei warns her to be careful given what happened last time (ie Al fainting and Hal waking up).
CB's operators are increasingly worried and haven't heard a report from any of the Meisters in some time.
Exia seems to be the last one standing but up turns Ali in a special mobile armour with spider legs that pin Exia and release a plasma field and causes Setsuna a lot of pain.
Marina hears about the confrontation between the 3 powers and CB and worries about Setsuna. She then suspects that the real reason Setsuna came over the other night was because Setsuna realised the scale of the forces he was up against and thought he might die - this realisation on her side makes her even more worried.
Meanwhile, Setsuna is barely conscious and wonders if he's about to die, about all he can do is raise his arm, and it seems hopeless, but some beam attacks destroy the main part of Ali's mobile armour (he escapes by detaching from it, flying a red MS now).
A new Gundam has turned up, in an echo of the Gundam that saved Setsuna at the start of episode 1.
