Journal Entry 241 CE (celestial era) time 2050
god damn... this war has been going on for too long now. everyone in my squad is tired and they want to return home to earth. fucking colonies just HAD to try to break away from the earth alliance. personally i think its stupid because they break off all of the economic necessities that they need for survival in space. whatever. well i can't blame my squad for wanting to return to earth. the war's been going on for about 8 years now and some of them have been in this war for the whole time. i'm suprised they haven't gone insane. this war is way too bloody for what it's worth. working for the earth alliance is hard because apparently the prime minister doesnt want to destroy too much of the colonies because he doesnt want to kill too many people. well anyway, i really dont have any motivation for doing this. they drafted me after taking a test on some random things and they did some physical examinations. apparently i had the best results out of anyone and so they put me in the highest level team. they're actually having me fly GUNDAMs. i hate them though. they're devices of destruction. the only reason i do this is because i have a family to feed. this war took the life of my father so i have to do this for my younger sister and my mother. they're the only reason i live.
The ship's alarm suddenly rang. What the hell? We're in neutral territory. How could anything go wrong? All pilots to battle stations. Crap. I don't get enough sleep to begin with. And at 8:50 at night? Whatever. I jumped out of bed and headed toward the holding bay. Once i found my commanding officer, he told us the situation.
"We are being attacked by an unknown enemy. They look like some sort of extraterrestial. We have no data on them and we have tried negotiating a cease fire with them but it looks like we can't communicate with them."
Commander Iwase was always serious, so I don't think he was joking. So everyone climbed into their moble suits and went to the catapult. As I climbed into mine, the screens turned on showing the acronym GUNDAM.
General
Unilateral
Neuro-Link
Dispersive
Autonomic
Manuver
A rumor went around that the Earth Alliance made a contract with Aube to produce more GUNDAMs like Strike. Though we don't have the same skill as Kira Yamato, they changed the operating systems so a natural could pilot a GUNDAM effectively.
I approached the catapult.
"Kaito Matsuki ready for launch!" I said.
Suddenly the cataplut launched me into space. I caught the first glimpse of the enemy. It seriously looked like an alien. No doubt. It was giant though. It was silver and had some sort of upside-down heart with a cross though the middle on it. Was it some sort of religious cult?
