I re-watched 18 and 19 today and I made a few notes of things that stuck out to me. Bear with me as some of them are just strands of consciousness.
Throne GN Furnaces Right before Nena attacks the wedding she is complaining how they have been working constantly. If the Throne Gundams need to recharge did they recharge between missions or does the charge last a long time? Towards the end of episode 19 we find that they have a recharging system at a hidden base in Africa. Is it the 4th furnace that was in their ship when the Ptolemais scanned it or was it an additional solar furnace? Since they aren't self regenerating suits do they use the 4th solar furnace in their ship to recharge the Throne Gundams which is the exact opposite of the Ptolemais Meisters' situation? Veda In episode 18 when Tieria is checking Veda and discovers that he can't access data he says "What the hell happened? Veda" while they cut away to Ribbons (Corner's assistant) standing on a roof top overlooking a city. On the ship Sumeragi says "Veda. It's what we call our lifeline to the true plan... The quantum processing system. If someone did indeed hack into Veda... Then we have no choice but to make plans on our own, without Veda." So is Veda the whole master system they connect to or is it just their connection to said master system? If it just their connection then it might be possible that Nena wasn't accessing data that she didn't have access to so much as cutting off their connection to areas in the main system. On a side note there is an instance where Corners lips aren't moving but it sounds like his voice in a voiceover mentioning his thoughts which further complicates whether it is him or Ribbons talking. Trial System When Tieria starts the trial system there is an Error message on his console. The Purple Haro says that the Trial System is hurting him. Tieria says "When linked with Veda, this Suit has an absolute sphere of influence. This is the true power of Gundam Nadleeh. The ting given only to me, Tieria Erde...the Gundam Meister Trial System!" That is what made me wonder if he is actually part of the Trial System. His eyes turn gold whenever he connects to Veda and they revert back to brown when the connection is cut off. Tieria's comment after Lockon and Setsuna's confrontation "So these are humans..." further reinforces my belief that he is not human. I can second that Corners smiles right before the Trial System shuts down. Michael wasn't affected because he was locking swords with Setsuna which makes sense with it being a sphere of influence. It is possible that the Exia might've shut down too. Johan said that Veda delivered info to the Throne Meisters for their inspection. Not that they took it. Solar Array System Lockon mentioned the Solar Energy System being the source of the world's hope and grief. The move away from Fossil Fuels ruined the Mid East economy and started the Solar Energy wars that went on for at least 20 years. The visuals seemed to suggest that the fighting was mainly in the Mid East. But I began to wonder if it was really the Mid East against everyone else as that could explain the terrorist attack Ali Al-Sarshes group made in Ireland that killed Lockon's parents and sister? I am really convinced that the Solar Array System will end up being an even bigger issue as the story progresses and will probably be destroyed before the end of the series. Kinoue's assistant told her about Laguna Harvey, the president of the Linear Train Company. The name definitely sounded different then Halvey which further separates it from Louise's family. What it also does is possibly connect it with the comment Nena Trinity made about going to Laguna. This makes me think that if the Throne Meisters are false Meisters they were sent by Laguna Harvey to prevent the destruction of the Solar Array System.
