The Gundam Throne pilots--Johann, Michael, and Nena Trinity--meet with the crew of the Ptolemaios, and declare themselves as allies working independently of the current Meisters. However, they reveal little information about themselves and their Gundams, leaving the two groups first meeting with strained results. However, Sumeragi later reveals that she had Ian Vasty secretly obtain information about the Gundam Thrones. At the Union MSWAD base, Professor Eifman discovers that the Gundams' may have originated from an abandoned facility orbiting Jupiter, and what Celestial Being's true objectives may be. However, before he can reveal this information he is killed in a surpise attack by the Thrones, an attack that decimates the entire base. Graham and the remaining OverFlags soon arrive and engage Throne Zwei, but the battle is concluded when Howard Mason is killed. The Throne's unprovoked attack on the facility greatly concerns the crew of the Ptolemaios, leaving Setsuna to question whether the Trinity Siblings are truly Gundam Meisters.
