G Witch Onscreen Text: Episode 2
This is part 3 in an ongoing series where I try and document and discuss all of the text that appears on screens and monitors throughout the show! Just because I can!
<<Click here to go back to Episode 1!
(Once I have a masterpost set up I will link it here!)
Let us Begin! Below the Cut!
TEXT:
(Lefthand side)
Registered Name: AERIAL
PMET CODE: 5011-0083
MANUFACTUR(ER): SHIN-SEI DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
STATUS: IN SERVICE
REGISTERED PILOT: SULETTA MERCURY
At the beginning of the episode, Rouji has Haro run a program that compares Aerial's permet code and registered statistics against other registered Mobile Suits to try and find a match, and measures the probability of the two being the same type of MS. There is no direct match to any other MS by Permet Code, but the system states there's an 85% probability that it's a match for a Mobile Suit with permet code 0025-0082.
We never see the specific name of this MS, but considering that Shaddiq names "Ochs Earth" as the company that made it and proceeds to call Aerial, "...the Witch's Mobile Suit," I think it's reasonable to assume that 0025-0082 was the Permet Code for Lfrith-03.
TEXT:
ALERT
ACCESS CONTROL
[???]
[----OF ENTRY A---]
Unfortunately due to the small text of the Alert message, the fact that it scrolls, and it's brief time onscreen, its hard to make out specifically what it says. My best assumption from what we have is that it's a warning currently barring anyone from entry into the 13th Tactical Testing Sector.
TEXT:

PILOTING DEPARTMENT
ID No: LP-041

As Suletta is being questioned, we get a brief glimpse at the investigation report the interrogator was looking at before the screen cuts to black when it hits the table. Nothing super interesting here, but Suletta doesn't have a registered criminal record! Yippeeee!

Not much to say here, this camera lets us know where Suletta is currently being held. (The Facility Management Company)

No point discussing the info on the right, we've already seen it, but this gives us a look at Aerial's height and weight.

COM
DELLING REMBRAN
BENERIT GROUP
I only included this to point out that wow the display system devs made some poor choices with the UI here. Dark Blue text on Dark Backgrounds? You'd think the text would automatically lighten but I guess we'll have to wait for Ver 6.0 for that update.
TEXT
(Top half)
MOBILE CRAFT
FUTURE TECHNOLOGY
ADVANCED MOBILE CRAFT TECHNOLOGY WITH PERMET MEASUREMENT EXPERTISE
NEW POWER SYSTEM FOR MOBILE CRAFT AND HYBRID CONSTRUCTION MACHINE INSTALLATION
HIGH ACCURACY DRIVE SYSTEM AND CONTROL SYSTEM IN MICROGRAVITY
LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND EASE OF MAINTENNANCE
No need to discuss the bottom half, its just the height and weight of the MC which we already know. I think it's funny how many classes this school seems to have on the new and improved Mobile Craft from Future Technology. I should probably buy one too. I love you Mobile Craft.
TEXT:

The Shin Sei Development Corporation was established in A.S. 89. Our business began with the development of integrated operating systems for mobile suits and medical devices.
We have been involved in MS development and have supported welfare engineering throughout our company history.
(Right Image)
Ranking: D
Sales Ranking (within group companies): 151th (out of) Total 157 companies [Mobile Suit Development]
Number of clients: Over 300 companies
Yearly patents: Over 200
We get a lot of information about Shin Sei in this scene where Martin looks at the Company History tab on their official website. The most interesting thing being that they were founded in A.S. 89. The Vanadis Incident occured in A.S. 101, and the show proper takes place in A.S. 122, so at some point between 101 and 122, Prospera worked her way up through Shin Sei, eventually becoming its CEO.
Given that Suletta had to have been born around A.S. 105, and that in Cradle Planet, we learn that Prospera had been working within Shin Sei when Suletta was around 6, that places A.S. 111 as the earliest she was involved.
We also learn in Cradle Planet, that when Suletta is around 11, Prospera has recently been promoted within the company, and now has many people working under her. That would be around A.S. 116. When Suletta is 16, that's when Prospera tells her that she's going to school, which would be around A.S. 121, and I think it's safe to assume that she had already become president by then.
SO!! TL;DR!! It's most likely that Prospera became the president of Shin Sei at SOME point between A.S 116 and A.S 121. I'd put it somewhere in the middle, around A.S 119.
(Can't wait to find out that they probably just outright state this somewhere and I did all this for nothing....)
ADDENDUM
GOD DAMNIT. I WATCHED ALL OF CRADLE PLANET TO MATH THAT SHIT OUT. WHATEVER. I CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION SO I WIN.
The text is too small to make out, but we DO get a small glimpse at the letter Delling sent to Miorine about unenrolling her from the school. It probably just literally says what the body guard reads out.
I think it says something that Delling doesn't even like, text his daughter. He sends an email through the official Benerit Group email account to her bodyguard who reads it for her. What a cowardly man.

I'll leave the explanation of the symbolism of this scene as an exercise for the reader. [Sultry Wink]
TEXT
(Above)
THIS ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE IS PROOF THAT IT WAS SIGNED BY A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BENERIT GROUP.
No way to tell what Delling is signing here, but we do get a brief look at his handwriting. It turns out his cursive is really bad, actually!
At the Shin Sei inquiry, Shaddiq shares this graph titled "PMET RETENTION THRESHOLD VALUE", stating that during the duel, Aerial's Permet Influx Values exceeded the standards set by Cathedra.
This graph can be tough to parse, so let me explain it as best I can.
The blue line represents Aerial's Permet Retention during the duel. The solid dark line represents the permet retention limit imposed by cathedra on mobile suits. (At around 500) As we can see, while Aerial began the duel underneath that limit, it exceeded it for a moment (presumably when Suletta took over for Miorine and the GUND bits were activated.)
The red line above that is labelled DATA STORM INCIDENT, which is representative of the minimum Permet Retention a Gundam expresses when it is interfacing with a Data Storm. The text on the bottom reads, THIS DATA IS VERY SIMILAR TO GUND FORMAT INCIDENT DATA.
But the key thing to take note of here is that Aerial's chart just BARELY doesn't exceed the DATA STORM INCIDENT graph, meaning that, despite it exceeding Cathedra's standards, it CANNOT be directly proven that Aerial was interfacing with a Data Storm. This is actually what Prospera brings up as her main counterpoint to the accusation.
So the graph is entirely consistent with Prospera's main argument. While she can't prove that Aerial isn't a gundam, nobody else can prove that it is.
Huaaaahh!! Alright!! This one was very DENSE. If you made it all the way through, thank you very much!! As a reward, have some little gay people
[I sprinkle these stills on the ground like bird seed.]
There was definitely a lot of really interesting info in this episode, and while not a lot of it was particularly new, I think it's really a testament to the dedication of keeping things wholly consistent in this world, even for the smallest of things that no normal person watching would even bother noticing.
Also, on the Shin Sei Website, did you notice that they accidentally put 151th instead of 151st?
You can't win em all!

Uhhhhh I don't have any rn tbh?? Maybe that next december we'll have known we're a system for 2 years although I think we've been for way longer and that we (as in ash) just did the typical egg carton™ thing and thought “oh, I basically take the entirety of jay ninjago's pronouns, gender, orientation and personality for a while until I'm not? WELP MUST BE GENDERFLUID” and looking back on it, in hindsight, we really shouldve known lol but in ash's defence, she did not know what a system was at that time and just thought that was normal for Genderfluid ppl
