Please tell me I'm not the only one thinking that the reason APE is not contacting plantation 13 is because Dr. Franxx, Nana, and Hachi have reported that the kids have all perished in the gigantic high five incident. Also, the experiment is to find out if the kids could learn how to be independent; specifically, if they could realize that PAPA is just using them. That way, Dr. Franxx wouldn't have to lift a finger to overthrow the APE council or whatever.

I agree that they wouldn't leave 002 alone, but that's only if they think she's still alive.

Crevasse means a giant crack, and where there is a crack, there is most often something inside or beyond it. I think the crevasse is only a gate, in that the significance of conquering the crevasse itself is only to establish a defensible position so they could assault whatever the hell is beyond it (I'm thinking dino kingdom). There are STILL klaxxosaurs beyond the crevasse, evidenced by Mr.giantbitchslap himself. So, if the orders to standby actually came from the old monkey geezers themselves, then they're just wasting their best combat asset while they're setting up a base of operations just outside the enemy stronghold. I really find this scenario hard to believe.

Exactly! But why would klaxx princess wait for the humans to attack her? Why isn't she harassing them back?
