(no subject)
I'm collecting bits and pieces from the Gundam Expo, interviews, confirmed spoilers, blogs, and trailers/previews. They may serve as essay fodder, or perhaps just as reminders.
1st novel snippet
C/P from kyriosly: Lots of kids in a small ship, only enough oxygen for one.They started killing each other. "Kill me, Allelujah. And live, for Marie." Allelujah was both smiling and crying as he pulled the trigger.

Video cuts to the building where bound Allelujah is being kept. He's alone in the room and dark building while it's raining.
Allelujah
"I've always been thinking. About the person who's from the same Super Soldier facility as me, Soma Peries. No, it's really about Marie Perfacy."
Allelujah
"Could it be that I saw Marie again that time. But now I know. There is no one else who can interfere with my quantum brain waves other than Marie."
Scenes of ep 10 and 11 (blowing up of Super Soldier Facility)
Allelujah
"It is the Human Reform League, no all three blocs, that have sinned. Their power game warped the world and people like them gave birth to the super soldiers. But because of that, I had to kill them, my companions. But I might have been wrong. Ahh Marie, if it were you, what would your answer be?"
Allelujah then says that there is a reason for hiding the power of cooperating with Hallelujah. When he uses this, he can be pulled toward Hallelujah.
Allelujah
"I'm sorry, Marie. For thinking about killing you. I didn't know. You were the one who gave me light when I had lost my past due to the surgery at the Super Soldier Facility. Just like the name, you are Maria. Despite that, you who gave me blessing, I..."
"I lost Hallelujah and even got captured by the enemy but I don't want to die yet. Not until I save her... Marie"

Blog snippets translation (by lechacho )
Sumeragi's lover's name was Emilio Ribishi.
- Sumeragi entered university at age 15 and completed all her credits in 2 years.
- Since their student days, Billy favors Sumeragi who is 5 years younger.
- Despite the age difference, Billy didn't care and still approached Sumeragi many times.
- Even when Sumeragi had a lover, Billy still frequently contacted her. Sumeragi was Billy's first love.
- Allelujah's Super Soldiers flashback: Their bodies were reconstructed with machines, their brains probed, and they were given medicine. Their tolerance of the limits were tested repeatedly. The failed subjects were disposed of by poison. The poisoned bodies were put one by one in "bags".
- Allelujah and the other young Super Soldiers from the HRL space colony "Quanqiu" stole a small freight ship and escaped. But because the control room was destroyed by the pursuing army, there weren't enough water and food and oxygen was also depleting. "Allelujah" comforted the others and thought it was fine to die with everyone. However, "Hallelujah" killed the rest and survived.
- In Episode 11 when Allelujah was attacking the Super Soldier Facility, he received a quantum brain wave message "Don't kill us" from his brethren. The quantum brain wave voices and the pain went away as he destroyed the facility.
- Hallelujah can scout/search his surrounding's situation with his quantum brain waves.

Blog snippet translation from the 2nd novel (mine)
Allelujah is already aware that Marie is not within the Human Enhancement Facility building he is about to destroy in episode 11. Around the time Allelujah and the rest of the super soldiers escaped the facility, Marie was supposed to have escaped through a different route/ship. By the time Allelujah joins CB, he is unaware of Marie's fate, and she's probably presumed to be dead.
This would explain why she's never brought up in the anime until the end.

Random tidbits and fun facts floating around Japanese blogs:
- Rumor: Soma is adopted by the time season 2 start. Anything more on this is pure speculations.
- Facts: Soma has a really sweet tooth. I find this cute, even if it seems like more of a speculation than a fact.
- Toward the end of the first season, Soma is personally familiar with Patrick Colasour. I suppose all the aces know each other by reputation, if not through introductions.
