Grassley is about to parallel history from the Prologue. He has Shaddiq leading his Harem Squad to steal/destroy Aerial from new company that publicly professes a peaceful use for the GUND Format.
It should be very interesting.
This is what's setting up a rather interesting case. Delling openly rules the consortium as its king, unilaterally saying Gundams are banned. He ordered the extermination mission 21 years ago. But he's letting his daughter try to break the curse in the present day. A daughter that we've generally seen him treat poorly.
Grassley on the other hand, is ready to repeat history (and probably with Peil and Jeturk agreeing to the plan). Grassley pioneered the anti-Gundam tech. Shaddiq has been ordered to use it if he needs to.
And I have very little doubt that Elnora was waiting for this to happen.
