Alt title: "Shin G-Witch" (真G-Witch)
Imagining a remake of Witch From Mercury
___
I'm imagining starting off with an extended version of Cardo Nabo's GUND promo video that we see in ep. 8. The original prologue set up a lot involving GUND tech and it's medical use, towards the end, the screen distorts and cuts out, transitioning into a found-footage style sequence of Cathedra's pilots and boarding units beginning their mission. Radio chatter gives us insight on the MS development council and Delling's decision to execute the operation. Throughout the sequence, intercepted communications gives us glimpses of Folkvangr's personnel's real-time responses with a focus on Eri, Elnora, and Nadim as the tension escalates. Cathedra picks up an unregistered permet signature and they begin to lose mobile suits to a quick and shadowy foe. Nadim sacrifices himself to give a window for Elnora and Eri to escape, but his last plea falls on deaf ears. Elnora, in her grief, charges forward and successfully dispatches the Beguir Beu, the last image recorded by it in freeze-frame. After a beat, Rajan's clear voiceover reveals this is a debrief. He concludes Cathedra must find and destroy this new model and kill or apprehend it's pilot, which had escaped.
The last scene is of the Unknown Gundam making a rough landing at an old facility, Ericht's conscious is visibly fading and Elnora frantically promising she'll be OK. The last shot is similar to the one at 20:27 in ep. 18, cutting to black with Elnora's voiceover shakily promising to save her, and wishing her a happy birthday.
