the cracks in the armor are numerous. Setsuna got handled pretty well by yet another elite veteran in an under-powered MS. Then he disobeyed protocol to serve his own crazy whims. He and Tieria fight just about all the time, to the point where it's threatening real violence. Allelujah has always been slightly hesitant about the level of killing, and it seems Sumeragi is getting there too... Outside of the Wan Mei girl and the hotel guy congratulating himself, people in CB are seriously doubting their own actions and mission.

Also, I do really like the idea of the 'Veda' program being some kind of stored memory / personality from the CB founder guy. It probably has extra intelligence on top of that, but it would make sense for the core decision making to be based on him...

Finally, something that really made me roll my eyes when I saw it, but forgot to mention in my first post. Nobody's said anything yet about the GN particle "bubble shield" that the Virtue deployed. So the things are natural by-product of the Gundams engine, jam communications AND can deflect enemy fire? Pft... I really didn't like that.
