The Cosmic Era, an age when the human race began to explore the universe for new living space, resources and sources of energy.
Through genetic engineering "Coordinators" were created, humans with enhanced intelligence, physical capabilities and they continued to grow in numbers.
In the satellite mega-cities known as "Plants", people were able to live in space without the harshness of Earth and it was considered to be a virtual utopia by many.
However there were those that became jealous of the Coordinators due to their superior abilities.
A friction resulted from these clashing views, leading toward a certain event which would be later known as The "Bloody Valentine".
Soon a full-scale war escalated as both Naturals and Coordinators fought one another.
Eleven months passed as both sides were at a stalemate…
Unknown to both the Alliance and Zaft, one young man was about to change the future of the world…
Phase-01: Awaken Silver Frame!
The resource development satellite Heliopolis, of the Orb nation became a neutral location once the war began, thus it was considered a haven for both Naturals and Coordinators who wanted nothing to do with the war.
Inside a gaming center of the commercial district we see a young man wearing Brown pants and an orange shirt, His name…Setsuna Asuka, a 16 yr.old guy with short Blond hair, and light blue eyes playing against other people his age, and beating them badly.
"Ah man! That's six in a row…how'd you become so good Asuka?" asked one of his friends.
"Heh, well it's like I always say, you've either got it or you don't" answered the blond haired teen.
"Anyways I'll see ya guys around, I really don't want to humiliate you any further" said Setsuna with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah! Yeah!"
After saying their goodbyes the young man known as Asuka left with one of his friends to go visit the spaceport.
Once there he began looking at the various shuttles stationed there.
"Setsuna wait up, what's the hurry?"
"I just wanted to see if any new shuttles have docked, is there a problem?" Sestuna asked innocently.
"Yeah whatever"
"Say Setsuna…why are you still keeping your first name a secret for?" asked his companion.
"Hey! what did I tell you about calling me that, you know that I hate it when people call me by that name!" said an angry Setsuna.
"But everyone in School knows your name already, so why not in public?"
"Because I-"
As the two teens were continuing their conversation, there were a couple of men talking with each other nearby and had on what looked like Earth Alliance uniforms.
Setsuna stopped arguing when he overheard something that the EA officers had said.
"We've been ordered to go back to Alaska, the others will be able to handle it from here Lieutenant Ryuho" said one of the younger officer to a black haired man in his twenties.
"Our shuttle leaves in three hours correct?" asked the Lieutenant
"That is correct Sir! … umm, Is something wrong Lieutenant?" asked the officer.
Turning around, the Lieutenant looked at Setsuna and his friend.
"Yeah, I thought I heard a girl's name, but that kid looks like a boy" said Ryuho.
"But that kid looks like a boy, But that kid looks like a boy, But that kid looks like a boy"Those same words kept on repeating inside Setsuna's head and with a deep rage within, he ran toward the EA officer and punched him in the face.
"Hey! What's the big idea saying that to me, Setsuna is a perfectly good name for a guy, so don't treat me like some weirdo" said a furious Setsuna.
As the lieutenant got up he couldn't resist giving a comment of his own, "Yeah it's a great name… for a girl that is" said Ryuho with some amusement.
"Y-You Bastard!"
"Setsuna! Stop it he's with the EA" Pleaded his companion.
"Lieutenant Ryuho! let's go… it's just a kid, besides we have a shuttle to catch" said the EA officer.
"Fine! Fine! I guess we should leave, you better watch your back BOY!" said an amused Ryuho.
As the EA officers left, Setsuna started to resent those that made fun of him.
"Damn! Those EA morons really piss me off" thought a furious Setsuna.
"Well I've got to go Setsuna, so try not to cause any more trouble ok" said his friend as he left.
"Yeah, see ya" grumbled the blond haired teen.
Later that day at the Asuka residence, we see Setsuna and a girl younger than him, with long brown hair eating dinner together.
"So…I see you skipped your Martial Arts lessons again!" said the girl with minor annoyance.
"Oh come on sis, you know that I'm the best in that class, so please don't mention it to mom and dad… ok Mayu" pleaded Setsuna.
The girl name Mayu gave out a sigh and looked as if something was troubling her mind.
"I know…I'm just worried about you, you've been acting really strange lately" said a concerned Mayu.
"Say… just were are Mom and Dad, Shinn isn't here either?" asked Setsuna
"Oh they went out for a while, they should be back pretty soon" answered Mayu
After talking for a bit more dinner was concluded in silence, deciding to get some early shuteye for the busy day tomorrow, Setsuna headed for his room when all of a sudden he felt an immense pain in his head.
Going inside his room, he grabbed a medicine bottle that was on his desk and took a pill to make the pain go away.
"Pant Pant Damn… can't believe I still have theses headaches, could' a sworn it stopped by now" said the exhausted teen.
While he slept he kept on dreaming about strange things involving things such as tubes and liquids.
However one phrase kept on repeating in his head, "Kira… Kira!"
The following morning, Setsuna woke up looking like didn't sleep at all last night.
Realizing that he had school today, Setsuna dressed up and left his room carrying his custom labtop he built and named it OMEGA with him.
However something felt odd about today, so he went and took his medicine with him… just in case…
Heading towards his sister's room, he knocked on it several time knowing that Mayu was a heavy sleeper.
"Hey Sis, hurry up or we'll be late" said Setsuna to his sister.
"I'll be up in a second?"
"Alright just hurry up!" said Setsuna as he began to leave.
Heading into the living room he saw his younger brother and parents eating breakfast.
"Good morning!"
"Good morning, Setsuna, mornin' Bro" said Shinn and his parents.
"Setsuna honey…. could you take Mayu with you since we have to take your brother somewhere" asked Setsuna's mother.
"Sure thing Mom"
After eating a light breakfast, Setsuna and Mayu ran toward they're destination, on their way he couldn't keep from thinking about his dream last night and Kira.
Not realizing were he was heading, he suddenly bumped into someone and the person fell on top of him.
"Hey! Are you alright?" asked the strange person while getting up.
"Um yeah… It was my fault anyways since I wasn't paying attention to where I was going" answered Setsuna.
Looking up he saw a Blond haired girl dressed in a dark brown coat and dark brown hat.
Remembering that the girl fell on him, Setsuna couldn't help but blush at the thought.
"Listen… I'm kind of lost here, so do any of you knows where I could find The Morgenroete Research Facility? Asked the stranger.
"Morgenroete huh, well you see that huge looking building…that's it right there" said Setsuna as he pointed at an enormous structure.
"Well thanks for your help" said the stranger as she was preparing to leave.
"W-Wait! You're not a guy right?" asked a nervous looking Setsuna.
"Setsuna!" yelled Mayu.
"What! Of course I'm not a guy!" said the annoyed female as she left.
"Damn…whats her problem? She's pretty cute though I'll give her that" said Setuna with a goofy looking smile.
After that fiasco it took them a bit longer to get there, they finally made it to a store which was located near the industrial area, only to have it closed for the day.
"Closed?….Aww man, now what am I supposed to do?" asked Setsuna.
"I don't have school yet, so why don't we go and have some ice cream" suggested Mayu.
"Okay"
As soon as they were about to head towards the commercial district, Setsuna felt a strange sensation… like someone was watching him.
"W-What the hell is this?"
At the same time a Zaft warship called the Vesalius was shown outside of Heliopolis, and several Zaft Mobile Suits were launched.
Inside the Vesalius Rau Le Creuset, the commander of the warship was preparing to launch his personal Mobile Suit CGUE.
As he started to launch, he experienced the same sensation that Setsuna felt.
"This sensation… is it Mu La Flaga, or is it someone else?" pondered Rau as he launched with his CGUE.
Back inside Heliopolis a siren was heard all around and people started heading for the escape shelters.
"What's going on Setsu" asked a frightened Mayu.
"I don't know Mayu, we should head for a shelter just to be safe".
As they made their way to one of the shelters, Setsuna looked above him and saw Zaft's mass- produced MS the GINN.
Reaching the shelter they were told that there was no more room available, so they left in search for another one.
"Mayu let's head for those factories over there, I'm sure there's got to be a shelter there" said the worried teen.
"Those MS were Zaft's GINNS, but why in the world would they attack a Neutral Colony" Setsuna asked himself.
Reaching the factory they found it completely abandoned except for one person in a black pilot suit.
As the mysterious person headed underground Setsuna decided to follow.
When the two of them arrived at a hangar, they were confronted with an unexpected surprise, inside were four Mobile Suits… consisting of the colors Silver, Gold, Red and Blue.
"What the hell is this? Those Mobile Suits don't look like Zaft models, there frames are all strange" thought Setsuna.
Pretty soon the stranger walked over toward the Gold MS and began operating it, as the MS stood up it began to grab an enormous looking Bazooka.
"Mayu let's get on that machine in the corner" said Setsuna pointing towards the Silver one "Who knows what that pilot might do with that Bazooka".
As the two began to silently board the MS, Setsuna got a good look at it, it was a combination of dark silver and white and it's head had a silver V-like fin, all in all it was an impressive site to behold.
As they made it inside, the Gold MS was preparing to fire the Bazooka at the floor, thinking fast Setsuna closed the hatch as the MS finally fired at the compound.
"Hang on tight to me Mayu"
"Kay'"
After the whole structure collapsed Setsuna and Mayu, along with the Silver frame Mobile Suit miraculously survived.
"Geez… that was a close one, Mayu are you alright?" asked Setsuna.
"Um yeah, I'm okay"
"Good, now let's see what we can do to get out of here"
Taking his laptop that somehow survived, Setsuna began to plug it in into the Silver frames mainframe and began to type in commands to start up the OS.
As the OS screen was shown these words began to appear:
General
Unilateral
Neuro-Link
Dispersive
Autonomic
Maneuver
" Huh…GUNDAM?" thought Setsuna to himself."Alright OMEGA, is there any way out this dump"
"Unknown… the OS must be calibrated before other matters" responded the A.I. OMEGA as it began to finish rewriting the Silver Frames OS.
"Rewritten OS is complete, Data is as fallows, One Anti-Beam coating shield, One 'Kaiser' Beam Shotgun and Two Beam Sabers" responded OMEGA."W-Wait a sec, 'Kaiser' Beam Shotgun?"
"That is correct, this Beam weapon is capable of changing between Beam Rifle mode and Beam Shotgun mode, in Beam Rifle mode it will shoot a heavily concentrated beam shot, and in Bean Shotgun mode it will fire several beam shots at once resulting in increased power" responded OMEGA.
"Awesome! Mayu you ready?"
"Uh-huh"
"Alright then, Silver Frame lets do it!" yelled Setsuna as he began to operate this amazing Mobile Suit.
And so a new chapter begins that will test this young man beyond his limits, and will change the course of the war.
Now that Setsuna is using a weapon of war will it bring a new hope for the world or will it bring his total destruction…
Preview: As Setsuna escapes Heliopolis will he be able to keep his innocence or will he be forced to kill on the battle field…
All this and more on the next chapter "The Blue Earth"

History: The MBF-P00 was the Orb's very first attempt at Mobile Suit production,
And due to it's early development it exceeds the combat potential of Orb's other three prototypes.
Still lacking in Phase-Shift armor Orb decided to compensate by copying the EA's prototype MS The 'Buster' with the creation of the 'Kaiser' Beam Shotgun.
This model was intended to serve as a test bed for all of Orb's mobile suits, however that
Purpose was denied due to Zaft's assault on Heliopolis and is now piloted by the young Orb citizen, Setsuna Asuka.

History: As tensions increase between the Naturals of the Earth Alliance and the Coordinators of ZAFT, military development also continues. Whereas the Alliance concentrated on mobile armors like the TS-MA2 Moebius, ZAFT instead developed the first humanoid mobile suit, the ZGMF-1017 GINN. The GINN is vastly superior to the Moebius, as illustrated by the poor performance of the Moebius line in most conflicts following the GINN's introduction. The GINN's basic armament consists of a 76mm machine gun and a heavy sword, but it can also be equipped with a wide variety of weapons for specific battles. These optional weapons include leg-mounted missile launchers, handheld missile launchers and a heavy particle cannon. As a general purpose mass-produced suit, the GINN is deployed by ZAFT in space as well as on Earth. Because of the versatility of its design, ZAFT creates many variants based on the basic GINN design.
Model number: ZGMF-515
Code name: CGUE

History: ZAFT's ZGMF-515 CGUE is an improved version of their standard ZGMF-1017 GINN and is designed for use by commanders and ace pilots such as Rau Le Creuset. The CGUE is faster and more maneuverable than a standard GINN, and their armament differs somewhat. The CGUE is armed with a heavy assault machine gun and heavy sword similar to that of the GINN, but it can also be equipped with a combination shield and vulcan gun system on its left arm. In addition to the standard CGUE, ZAFT also creates the experimental design YFX-200 CGUE DEEP Arms. During the war, one unit is used by ace pilot Rau in many duels with famous enemy ace Mu La Flaga. However, after the attack on Heliopolis, Rau usually stays behind on his Nazca class Vesalius battleship and let his subordinates do most of the fighting with their four stolen Gundams.
