"Dr. Tomosaka," a young military officer named Ensign Kurtz Casta salutes to a long black-hair scientist that was standing in front a half-build Mobile Suit. "I have some news for you from the hospital."

Dr. Emi Tomosaka turns around and faces the soldier. Dr. Emi was a beautiful, young and brilliant Asian scientist employed by the Federation most prominent research Institute the S.N.R.I. She researches and invents new advancement for the Federation's Military. For years she made many break thoughts on fixing the faults of Military's weaponry and the mechanics of the MS units.

Over the last 5 years she had accomplished no other scientist had accomplished before and she was reward with a lab of our own. Dr. Emi even had the privilege to work with Dr. Wilhelm Von Waltzer; a scientist at the age of 25 yrs old invented the psycoframe cockpit frame during the U.C. 0093 war against Char Aznable and the last remnants of the Neo Zeon. Dr. Emi and Wilhelm for the last 10 years had been working together on a Project assigned and funded by the S.N.R.I. The Institute wanted the two Doctors to invent a new weapon that can strengthen the Federation Fleet for any future threats. It is possible a new MS prototype the two scientists are working Kurtz thought to him self.

"What is it Ensign?" Dr. Emi asked the young soldier.

Ensign Kurtz took a moment to clear his throat and preparing to bring grim news to Dr. Emi that the Dr. Wilhelm just past away few minutes ago. Dr. Wilhelm was diagnosis with cancer couple months ago. He had chromotherapy treatment soon after. The treatment was successful but few weeks later the cancer had return. Ensign Kurtz doesn't know much about Dr. Emi but, he could tell that she was in love with the good doctor. Although Dr. Waltzer is 42 years senior of Dr. Tomosaka it is obvious that they had a special bond that no one can take from them. Not even death.

"Dr. Waltzer had passed away Madam." He replied.

"When did he die?" She asked with a sorrowful tone.

"Dr. Waltzer pass away at 15.40 pm Madam."

"I understand and you may leave Ensign…" Dr. Emi paused a moment, "What is your name?"

"My name is Kurtz Casta and my code number is 26347 from the 1st Garrison Division, Madam." Kurtz replied with a professional tone.

"I understand Ensign Casta. You may leave." She turns around and was walking back to the unfinished MS prototype. Before, Emi starts to walk away, she notice that Ensign Casta wasn't moving. "What is the matter Ensign?"

"Madam please granted me the permission to speak freely."

Emi paused for a moment from Ensign Casta sudden requests, "Permission granted." She replied.

"I know it not my business but I'm sorry for your lost Madam." Kurtz said, "I know how it feels to lose someone. I lost my family during the Cosmic Babylon war. My father, my mother and my older brother all died during the conflict in Frontier Side 4."

When Ensign Kurtz finishes explaining, silence consumes the atmosphere. There was bitter awkwardness between the two but in the end it was Kurtz who breaks the silence. "I sorry Madam, I shouldn't have opened such a personal..."

Dr. Emi raised her hand to stops him from talking, "No, Ensign, it's alright. Thank you for your concern. I really appreciate it"

Kurtz could see that Dr. Emi is trying very hard to hold back her tears but she failed miserably.

Holding back those tears must be hard on her. What a strong woman Kurtz thought to himself

"Dr. Waltzer was a brilliant scientist," said Emi whiling wiping her tears away, "He developed a new theory that can combine the bio-computer system & psycoframe cockpit frame together."

"What kind of technology that can do that?" Kurtz asked with a curious tone but in a respectful manner.

"You see that new MS prototype in front of you."

"Yes, I do Madam." Kurtz replied politely.

"That MS prototype is inserted a program called the Nova System that can manipulated both system into as one. With the two systems combined together it increases chance for the pilot to generate a power that no mankind has ever seen before. It is possible that it will render the nuclear missiles useless."

"Dr. Waltzer invented this Nova System for this MS prototype?" He asked, "It's amazing what a single system can do. What is this prototype called?"

"Nova System 00 and it's also known as NS 00: Type-Zero." Emi sees Kurtz with a curious look on his face, "What seems to be the problem Ensign."

"That prototype looks very familiar," Said Kurtz "The head of the MS unit looks like the F91 model."

"Yes, this MS unit basic design was original from the F91 model." Emi replied.

"This unit is also known as Gundam: Type-Zero?"

"Gundam," Emi asked with a slight surprise on her voice "You mean Gundam F91 that was used during the Cosmic Babylon war?"

"Is it?" Kurtz asked.

"I guess it is," Emi replied with a slight smiled on her face, "since this prototype is base on the F91 model."

Kurtz took a look at his watch and it was time for him to make his daily report. "Madam, it's time for me to leave and I'm sorry that to disturb you."

"Not at all and thank you for helping me out Ensign," Emi replied.

Kurtz give a quick salute and started to head out of the laboratory. Before Kurtz heads out of the lab; Dr. Emi called him again, "Ensign Kurtz, please keep the information about the NS prototype a tight seal."

Kurtz give a nod to Emi and saluted to her one last time, "My lips are sealed Dr. Emi Tomosaka. Take care of yourself." The soldier walks out of the room.

Dr. Emi walks right in front of the NS prototype. "Wilhelm, I hope you won't be disappointed that I'm renaming the NS prototype." She smiled slightly when she quickly record into the main computer system of MS unit.

"I remember you told me once that you wanted a son named Zero. I also remember you told me once you loved me, as a woman, instead of a colleague." Emi cried to herself slightly when she type in several command codes into MS main computer. "Now, I wanted to contribute a name to our child also. So I hope you will love it."

When Dr. Emi was done, she gives a light kiss on the computer screen and said, "I love you." She said while tears drips silently from her curve face, "and I will always will, Wilhelm."

When she finishes inputting information into the computer, she wipes her tears away and smiles slightly. Dr. Emi walks out of the laboratory and started to head back to her quarters for the night. When Emi was out of the lab, the computer system of the MS unit, started to process the information that it have been given. As the computer finishes finalizing the information; the main screen inside the cockpit formulates the complete name of itself.

The computer designation itself as NS 00 Gundam: Type-Zero.
