Summary[]

Senior Engineer Erica Simmons of Morgenroete reviews the Strike's combat logs and theorizes that Kira might be superior to any other Coordinator and speculates on the "SEED factor" theory. She shows Kira the mobile suits that Orb is developing and asks him to develop a mobile suit operating system that can be used by Naturals.

Quotes[]

"According to the report submitted by Colonel Ledonir Kisaka, the power of the Earth Forces' mobile suit can be summarized in one word: Overwhelming. However, the possibility of bringing out this potential relies greatly on the abilities of the pilot. Command: Attach file 0358-722. The conclusions in the matter are based on a set of battle records acquired on Kira Yamato, pilot of GAT-X105 Strike."

Erica Simmons, Mobile Suit Gundam, Endless Rondo

"In the end, the Earth Forces had to rely on the services of a Coordinator thought to be the enemy in order to develop weaponry to battle Coordinators. And it's the same here at Orb."

Erica Simmons, Mobile Suit Gundam, Endless Rondo

"The PLANT technicians who first sent mobile suits into the battlefield, believed the weapons that took control of outer space would eventually control the direction of the war. Such weapons must be more mobile than a fighter plane, and possess no less than a battleship's firepower. They must also have armor stronger than that of a tank, allowing it to survive under extreme conditions. The main points of this opinion were correct. But they overlooked just one point. That mobile suit superiority is not limited to outer space."

Erica Simmons on mobile suits, Mobile Suit Gundam, Endless Rondo

"Perhaps superfluous information, but there appear to be limitations in the Archangel's command personnel. Although they have been successful in eluding ZAFT's attacks, much of that is believed to be attributed to coincidence, and the battle achievements of Kira Yamato and the Strike. Eventually, the question of the nature and the rationality of the Archangel's top officers shall be addressed."

Erica Simmons about the Archangel Corps, Mobile Suit Gundam, Endless Rondo

"Andrew Waltfeld. Known as the Desert Tiger, he was among ZAFT's top commanders. We'll ignore whether tigers live in the desert or not."

Erica Simmons, Mobile Suit Gundam, Endless Rondo

"For the Strike, which was a trial product in the first place, battling in the desert proved extremely difficult. However, Kira Yamato pulled off an unbelievable stunt, changing the control program during battle, to overcome danger. In the end, he even succeeds in defeating the brand new mobile suit LaGOWE, piloted by Walrfeld himself."

Erica Simmons, Mobile Suit Gundam, Endless Rondo

"At any rate, the combination of Kira Yamato and the Strike, once again shows surprising adaptability. Kira Yamato's abilities surpass those of other Coordinators."

Erica Simmons about Kira Yamato, Mobile Suit Gundam, Endless Rondo

"It's only a supposition, and it's not even my field, but I'd like to bring to mind a matter that once appeared in an academic journal and gave rise to debate. It is the Superior Evolutionary Element Destined-Factor. And as such, if possible, I'd like to conduct a continuous precise, and thorough research analysis on Kira Yamato."

Erica Simmons, Mobile Suit Gundam, Endless Rondo

"This is the M1 Astray, a machine made by Morgenroete and belonging to the Orb military."

Erica Simmons, Mobile Suit Gundam, Endless Rondo

"You're aware, right? That Orb will not invade another nation, that it will not allow another nation to invade, and will not intervene in the conflicts of other nations. This gives us the power to guarantee that."

Cagalli Yula Athha about the Orb Union's use of the M1 Astrays, Mobile Suit Gundam, Endless Rondo
