0146: Boom in the Pocket


Listen Later

In 1989's MSG 0080: War in the Pocket, Zeon's Lt. Col Killing orders Col. Von Hellsing to nuke the Side 6 colony known as Libot after the Cyclops team failed to destroy the Federation's new prototype Gundam via conventional means.  As luck would have it, the Federation captured Von Hellsing's ship before the nukes could launch and spared Libot from annihilation.  In this episode, we discuss what might have happened if Killing's plan to nuke Libot was successful.  Brian sees this as an early version of Operation Stardust that inadvertently gives rise to a much earlier showdown between the Titans and Axis Zeon in the asteroid belt.  Isaac sees an occupied Zeon with its people forced to choose a side, with factions like the Crossbone Vanguard, the Zanscare Empire, and the Jupiter Empire rising earlier.  Plus, we wonder if AI and nanotech should qualify as WMDs; find out what happened to Lt. Col Killing; and argue about asteroid lasers and hot lava missiles!  Welcome to Alfred's Nightmare!
