From /m/
As if we didn’t already know, but whatever. And I’m still working on the magazine stuff I’m just distracted so it’s taking a while.
[EDIT] On a really only loosely related note: I think I’ve developed a fondness for Desu. Must be the drill hair or something. Like… I honestly wouldn’t mind if she ended up in a support mech (I *still* think she’d be nifty in the 0 Raiser since she’s a Gundam mechanic afterall, she probably knows the thing inside and out by heart). But I know it’s not going to happen because I am not a delusional Feldtfag.
[EDIT II] Revive’s profile from the Gadessa box (did this a few hours ago I just forgot to post it): 
Revive Revival
A mobile suit pilot attached to the A-LAWS. He is one person who has permission, a “licensor*,” to ignore the chain of command and act according his own judgment. His true identity is as one of Ribbons Almark’s fellow Innovators. While working in the A-LAWS, he is constantly taking directions from Ribbons. In addition to [having] a body which surpasses human capabilities, he can operate machines which use Quantum Brainwaves, and furthermore he is endowed with super-human piloting skills. Among the Innovators, he is especially hotblooded, it’s easy to get him riled up in battle. On the other hand he has a cynical surface-image, belittling the actions of the humans in CB and the army and laughing scornfully.
(* that’s what the kana says, don’t ask me)
Like it wasn’t the most obvious thing ever. GG Sunrise.

Yes (even though it was heavily hinted the pilot will be Soma, at least now we know for sure :p)! XD Now I’m wondering under what circumstances does she get into that suit.

Hmm…I wonder why they are still referring to her as Soma Peries and not Marie Parfacy?

@Haniozuka: I believe the reason is because her “official” name is still Souma–I think she’s still credited as “Souma” in the credits and whatnot.

I personally developed some fondness for Desu when she was able to take over Ian’s role too. I never thought she’d be that useful.
And on Revive:
“he can operate machines which use Quantum Brainwaves”
Glad to hear about this. I’ve been wondering how the Innovators have been viewed in-series as especially good in maneuvering their machines.

@mai: Yeah, Desu being useful while remaining unobtrusive makes me like her. And as stupid and shipper-ish as it sounds, I think it’d be cute if she had developed a crush on Tieria sometime during the 4 years inbetween seasons (I dunno, I wouldn’t actually want anything to come out of it, it’s just that the thought Desu having an innocent little crush on “Mr. Erde” makes me D’AWWWW like an idiot)

That sounds cute, furthermore any girl doting on Tieria will get @__@ reactions everywhere. So far only men have commented on his beauty. You know what’d be more WTF-inducing? Anew having a crush on Tieria. But… nah.
