Deprogramming

Prologue: Lost Recordings

by Scarlet Eve


/February twentieth, after colony one nine one - The following procedure was requested by Dekim Barton. An incident occurred during which Alpha expressed extreme remorse and sadness to an unfortunate accident. Barton believes that emotions in this boy will be his downfall. It was suggested to experiment using Alpha with the chip that has been under development for some time. It is thought that after this procedure is complete and the adjustment period has taken place, the boy will not feel the same sting of emotions as normal people. It will also increase his endurance and strength./

/February twenty second, after colony one nine one - The installation has been complete. Currently, Alpha is still under sedation. I imagine that it will take his body several weeks to adjust to the chip, during which time we will monitor his vitals and begin the tests./

/March first, after colony one nine one - The results are astounding! Alpha has had the chip for seven days, and already he is showing signs of super-human abilities. His senses are heightened dramatically, and he is already exhibiting increased strength and concentration. Even after the most grueling tasks, his heart rate only increases by a small amount./

/June sixth, after colony one nine one - Perhaps this device is working too well. Alpha has become withdrawn from other human contact and tends to prefer solitude. Even so, his performance and intelligence continues to grow, as the device makes him more studious and focused on the task at hand. He has a strong proficiency for weapons, mechanics and strategy. But still, he rarely speaks. Perhaps after some time the effects will level out./

/November thirteenth, after colony one nine one - Alpha has begun to learn advanced battle tactics. As expected, he is learning rapidly and excelling at a fast pace. After a year, he has already bypassed the control subjects, even those who are older and have been training longer. It really is remarkable. I believe this boy will be the key to piloting our precious Wing./

/December second, after colony one nine one - Something happened today that has both disgusted me and inspired me. During training, Alpha made a slight miscalculation and broke his arm. He simply sat up and using his legs and other arm, set the bone back in place and simply wrapped the arm in a stiff bandage. I have never seen anything like it. And he did not make a sound except for a grunt of effort. Truly remarkable./

/June fifth, after colony one nine two - I have introduced Alpha to the Wing. Initial tests show he has a high aptitude for piloting the suit, as expected. Training will continue, and when all are ready, Operation Meteor will commence./

/April first, after colony one nine five - Alpha, under the codename Heero Yuy, will pilot Wing to Earth, along with the other four. Should Alpha survive this mission, he will go undercover as a student. I can feel that the tides of government will be changing./


A/N: I have been struggling to write something worth putting up here, so I hope you'll like this story! I've been working on it for a while. :-)
