Um... NUNS covered up all the information regarding this incident and considering
Windermere showcased it, I'm less inclined to believe
their side at this point given a) how Gramia rebuilt said wreckage as a continuous
reminder of a sin which is never proven on
both sides and b) how Roid is
using it to encourage the Aerial Knights into action (including Keith, and
especially Bogue).
There are two sides to this story and while Windermere could be right, I also argue the other side is untold.
All your post is explaining is where he a) received the bomb and b) decided to do with it. Again,
what is his motive for doing this!? All we know is he receives a dimensional weapon, drops it on a NUNS base, and kills hundreds or thousands of civilians in the process. It's all we're given because he's dead. You're arguing it's his motive but it's really
not. A motive is where he believed he'd be doing something for a grander picture and/or for personal gain and I argue he does not gain a
thing for this. In fact, I argue he's ruining his son's life and relationship with Freyja because he did it (even if he didn't know it would be so bad), and
oh yes is ruining millions of civilizations because this bomb incident became a catalyst for Windermere to begin a
universal war with every other civilization in the universe which is under NUNS protection/law.
I'll agree on it possibly being how his plane crashed; dimensional bombs and/or even nuclear ones in real life cause all kinds of issues for escaping impact.
However, I'll argue even if they
did find his wreckage, how could
Windermere identify it? It's not one of
their planes so it'd be a question of how their system could identify this plane and in its state of wreckage be rebuilt so it's like it's so-called "original version". It's a mass produced Valkyrie which is built specifically for NUNS soldiers; so I don't believe this is the
original plane belonging to Wright. This is my logic
because Arad and Kaname are on a NUNS base in this episode and it's completely
bare and no military during an "abandon ship escapade" will ever grab
all of their units and/or weaponry. In other words, this
could be a Valkyrie grabbed on the abandoned base which
resembled his Valkyrie. Again, it'd be logical: Why spend money and/or resources you don't really have on rebuilding something which is a continuous reminder of why Windermere has so little when you could take a Valkyrie from the base and
claim it's the one from that time? Less time and money and resources.
I'll believe his body is found in the cockpit of the original wreckage though.
It's not that I'm arguing your interpretation of this is wrong, it's just there's a lot of facts up in the air on this subplot.
I'm not likely to believe either side at this point because NUNS cares little about their soldiers and hides screw-ups entirely for their own reputation and Windermere only wishes for revenge so screwing around with truths could benefit them in both grabbing their peoples' support and also gaining attention from the NUNS by bringing up a screw-up they buried which affected their reputation.
@
Vallen_Chaos_Valiant: The problem with said motive is the whole point of the Windermere independence is to not be associated with NUNS at all, not begin World War III in space with
other civilizations which had nothing to do with Windermere at all! This, of course, is something implied in episode 17. After all, if dropping a bomb on Windermere will spur all of Windermere to needlessly attack every species in the world and/or mind control them for so-called "independence" then this is not so much a logical motive since the endgame of said motive is against everything the Independence Force stood for (releasing Windermere from NUNS and peacefully resolving the conflict so Windermere is able to live in peace again).
