Hey readers. This is Gundam Seed with a Metal Gear flavor. Terms such as CODEC, the Patriots, and Metal Gear will come into play, as well as countless government conspiracies. The physical appearances of some of the characters, as well as some events, and names, are from the manga adaptation of Gundam Seed (Tolle's appearance, etc.). One more thing, the story is layered like a game. There are cutscenes, and gameplay. This is the prologue chapter found in the instruction manual.
The year is CE: 71. The human race has been split into two; The Coordinators of space, and the Naturals of Earth. The Coordinators choose to live in isolation from the Naturals, and tensions, along with social intolerance, have led to the Naturals' use of nukes, resulting in the destruction of Junius Seven, known as the "Bloody Valentine Incident", which has since sparked the ever-continuing war between Earth and Space.
Eleven months have passed… The war is at a deadlock, but the coordinators have almost consumed the small state of Heliopolis, and are furiously searching it for Vice Minister Allster, for reasons known to only them and the superiors of Earth. The only complication is, Heliopolis belongs to the neutral state of Aube. Regardless, a soldier of Earth has been sent to locate and rescue the vice minister. Mu la Flaga, the soldier dispatched, may just find out what this scheme is all about…
