Saber Marionette Lorelei (Manga)

...or even more bewildering, why did Lorelei leave the message specifically for the six surviving men by name?

There are two very important things to think on regarding these questions.

1) In flashback of Chapter 31, also in Volume 5 of the Manga, Lorelei is discussing cloning of human embryos with Faust and Ieyasu. Is it possible in the manga version that Lorelei is the last surviving female even before they reach Terra II?

2) The final volume was a forced job and leaves a number of holes in the pockets of information it presents. For instance, the above scene from point one runs directly into a scene much later where Lorelei is already encapsulated. In fact, nowhere is it even explained how she ended up in the capsule or how the others became stranded on Terra II. One could assume it follows the story of the anime, as the manga ends with the group searching after the clue of "the land of rebirth - Mesopotamia". In that case, there is no reason she might have had advance warning of her predicament as in the anime (Lorelei has a hurried last correspondance over video communication with Faust and Ieyasu after Mesopotamia rebels and before becoming encapsulated). The manga Lorelei could have recorded the disk as a last means of communication, knowing her incapacitation wouldn't be far off.


In the end, the details are so far and few in the manga to give a solid answer, but it doesn't take much to come up with many valid answers as to how her disk came into existence.

Edit: Just realized that this whole topic was probably brought about because Ieyasu only found the disk some time after Lorelei was encapsulated. While it may seem farfetched that they overlooked it all that time, it's far from impossible, either.
