      And Caliban, which is a nod to a character in Shakespeare's play 'The Tempest'. In fact, WfM has taken a lot of elements from this play. For example, the protagonist of the Tempest is named Prospero, which is the basis for Prospera. Then theres Prospero's henchmen, a monstrous creature named Caliban and a fairy named Ariel.

    Quiet Zero was Delling's baby, Prospera probably took all the remaining staff and resources to complete it with her GUND technology.
    Hiding in space is not that complicated if you avoid emitting heat or signals (correct me if I'm wrong, I mostly learn this from watching The Expanse and reading a bit about it), but it's probably something they will handwave just like they did with the Celestial Being Ship in 00

      The problem is money. For a company like the Benerit Group which has been hellbent on showing a profit on every facet, QZ is a red flag for any accountant.
      I mean QZ is probably running at least 50-100 Billion, considering it's size and the proprietary technologies thrown into there.
      And you're telling me absolutely NO ONE didn't see a stream of money and materials to that amount and go HMMMMMMM.
      I mean being able to hide it after it's build sure. But being able to hide such a gigantic project like this from any decent audit? Lol

      Look episode 12 how the section all the fighting going on is floating around severed from the rest this shown when Prospera finishes talking to Suletta. Then Back to 11 this entire base build at Plant Quetta where Delling and Prospera are looking the long way down at part of it. This is roughly the same as the big section of the base that was cut loose. So basically this thing was one section of Plant Quetta they built it inside of it. As Plant Quetta is part of the Mega Corp Delling can certainly hide the thing, fund it and have a computer code that shuts down the Plant Quetta sensor and cameria's when this thing launched.

    Quiet zero is only effective against the fronts (space colonies) because all the technology there is pemet reliant. In gundam, resource asteroids are carefully taken from asteroid belt and placed at the lagrange points within the earth/moon system for materials for colonies. you could hide quiet zero among the debris there or it has optical camouflage

      Yeah the students picked up on that. Earth weapons are mostly permet it seems also, as evident in Quinharbor. I was thinking DoF suits would be unaffected, but they probably have permet too. And yeah, space is pretty vast so hiding Quiet Zero isn't too much of an issue, but I still found it pretty funny with how big the thing is. I guess if it isn't active it doesn't have that red glow on it also, so it's just a big floating thing

      The problem is the fronting of money for a project like that without an audit or a question is suspect. Benerit is a company, it has to run a profit in order to continue.
      I mean the Gerald R Ford, the newest aircraft carrier, runs for 13 billion dollars, and almost every single facet is run over with a fine-toothed comb. QZ based upon its size and prototypical tech probably runs at least a 50 billion if we user today's money.
      Yet everyone and their dog is surprised by QZ? It doesn't add up.
      Its why most super weapons at least have some explanation in Gundam that they are governmentally funded (except you 00, I don't even know what the hell you are), which can be at least handwaved in that government doesn't need to run a profit.
      So yeah, the accountant in me is just staring at this thing wondering what sort of black magic they used to hide the money trail and explanations.

      Pretty much every mainline Gundam is around 50 episodes, so we should just based on expectation
      Also yeah, Elan 5 got over Norea pretty quick, I kinda expected him to be feral about it still. Apologizing to Suletta and offering her help was nice. I doubt he has any real ulterior motives, save for maybe hitting at Peil. Some rando sniped Norea and he ripped and teared him up immediately before bailing, so he got his revenge for the most part. Not sure how the Pharact is gonna play in now though since he said he refuses to pilot a Gundam

    Quite Zero is Plant Quetta, that's how they "hide" it. Pretty on the nose if you realize it.
    Throughout the series many people in the show had made comment how there are a lot of resources being pour into this place without anyone knowing for what purpose. Some people think this is a Mobile Suite factory and some we know of those resources are used to upgrade Aerial into Aerial Rebuild. But as turns out, overall, the resources are used to make Quite Zero.
    Knowing that Plant Quetta = Quite Zero, it explain why Prospera is so furious with Shadiq in the beginning of Season 2. Dawn of Fold attack could've eliminate Quite Zero permanently. It could've killed Delling (who is the main sponsor), it could've killed Prospera (the mastermind), it could've killed Suletta (the key to Permet Score 8), it could've destroyed Aerial (the one that can make Quite Zero happen), and it could've damage Plant Quetta permanently (which mean Quite Zero can never be completed). It is ironic that Shadiq was so closed in preventing the apocalypse, and yet, because he only touched the surface of the issue, he failed to do it properly. Just like his all other actions.

      Not the whole Plant that think is truly huge. The huge shown by interior part of the station blown free by the Earth Witches is shown from the outside. And it not that large compared to the entire Plant.
      Quite Zero is probably a few sections of the Plant.

    With regard to how Prospera built Quiet Zero remember back to the Attack at Plant Quetta it was revealed that Prospera and Delling were collaborating on this project, with Delling's motivation likely being Mio's dead mom, so Quiet Zero had access to all of the Benerit Group's resources and funding. Prospera also likely had a contingency in place to secretly move Quiet Zero from Plant Quetta to a new location if it became necessary, likely reassigning patrols and fudging documents to say "This is definitely not a doomsday device but a prototype movable mining platform."

    because the filters serve a purpose as a restrictor, that restrict stuff going in, and out
    So a Gundam without a filter can be a dual edge sword
    because it is fully suspectable to Ariel's data storm, and also might boost sluetta's handling performance
    she might actually die because this is her first actually handling the brunt of the Gundarm system in combat

    I feel like there will be a season 3 and it could be dealing with the fallout of Prospera. Since after whatever happened, the Assembly, Earth, Benerit, Peil, and Shaddiq’ ambitious still need to be dealt wit, as well as Miorine’s development. I doubt they could conclude it all in the next few episodes. Imagine it like this…
    Next few episodes remaining have all the MCs dealing with Prospera while the other conflicts are being push beyond the boiling point. Shaddiq plots and probably have a backup plan. Earth’s anti-spacian sparked a full out war (remember some of the characters that were introduce in the Earth episode? They seem important). The Assembly will now launch another witch hunt after what Prospera did. The Benerit needs to salvage what they can with Guel dealing with his brother. Peil does what it always does: Scheme and manipulate for their own gain. Finally, Miorine possibly finding peace with her father, finding her resolve, and then embarks on trying to fix Prospera and Earth’s mess as well as reconcile with Suletta.
    All the setups leads to the ultimate finale of season 2, where whatever happened, Suletta connects with Eri once more, Miorine and her were about to resolve their issue together…and then a cliffhanger comes in that leaves us angst until the Fall, knowing full well that the next season will be a full out war between everyone, and only the new power Suletta and Eri share will determine our MCs salvation or destruction.
    Also, someone pointed out to me before that there’s also the Dawn of Fold to consider as another big player.

    Agreed on Eri protecting Suletta from the datastorm as a red herring. There are a lot of clues supporting that. ED2 is a big one. But also the shows theme about finding yourself and getting free of the sins of your parents. A bit Doylist but she's the main character gundam pilot. Of course she's special. Lauda is throwing a lot of Garma and Riddhe flags. Suletta and co are also going to Benerit HQ so they will probably fight and I give good odds she kills him. Maybe not intentionally, because that's not Suletta. But Lauda is a normie trying to pilot a gundam while blood lusted. He's going to pop.

    at this point let prospera cook! this is great! let her get her revenge against everyone that involved vanadis accident.
    also i dont trust these SAL people. guston guy and (dead) feng don't want war but obviously other guys using war to accuse benerict, absolute BS.
    dont you think these SAL people also responsible even involved of vanadis accident. they even have confiscated gundam with them.
