Hello everyone, long time no post! (I think). During my six-week holiday in France, I decided to write another fanfic, this time in the SEED universe. My previous fanfics (Gundam W, Final Fantasy and – don't you dare laugh – Pokémon), were written during other holidays.
I was able to get the first few chapters typed thanks to my Aunt, who I am currently visiting.
The bad thing is, her Internet is, well, slow. Slooooooooow. That's why I can't post much.
More chapters will probably be submitted over the next week, and after that, you'll have to wait about four weeks until my return home. Then I'll be able to type the rest of my writings. Right now, everything is still on paper.
I did not use any reference site, like Mahq or Wikipedia while writing this. So it's likely that you will find some mistakes here and there. I did write down a few MS serial numbers before going to France.
Thanks in advance for relying. Here goes...

GUNDAM SEED ASTRAY: S FRAME

The silence in the room came to an abrupt end when ten fingers touched the keyboard. Together with the peaceful hum of the computers, and the occasional sound of the air supply-refill, it created an ambience of work and focusedness.
On the leftmost monitor, Mobile Suit blueprints were shown in succession. Another monitor kept switching between photographs with text next to them.
The photograph showed a eccentric young man facing the camera, grinning while raising his thumb and wearing a headband which kept up his brown hair. The rest of his clothes consisted of a yellow jacket and a black shirt underneath.
The screen flashed, and now a serious-looking fellow, probably a few years older, was shown. The person wore yellow glasses, had long sleek brown hair and a bit of a tan. He wore an EA uniform.

The fingers kept flying over the keyboard, barely touching one key before moving to the next one.
The last monitor, right in front of the person typing, showed a space colony map. First, it showed the entire colony. Then, it zoomed in on a small portion of it. Some sort of base was being shown. The moment the person's right index finger released a key, the screen zoomed in again, Now, the base's Space Port was being shown.
The left middle finger moved upwards, and pressed a button. Immediately afterwards the two hands moved away from the keyboard and folded across the person's chest.
On the screen, hundreds of digits came scrolling down, while a loading bar in the lower right corner showed the progress. When the bar was filled, the screen switched back to the Space Port map, but instead of the blue-lined 3D model, it now showed a red 3D model. The red Space Port 3D model seemed severely damaged.
Another loading bar appeared, and while it filled itself, numerous yellow dots became visible on the map. Next to them, serial numbers were shown.
The flashing words 'NOT FOUND' appeared underneath the dot labelled MBF-PO1.
Another flashing 'NOT FOUND' sign appeared, this time referring to MBF-PO2, located close to the first dot. The third dot, MBF-PO3, also received the 'NOT FOUND' icon.
But dot number four, labelled MBF-PO4, didn't get the 'NOT FOUND' rating...

GUNDAM SEED ASTRAY: SILVER FRAME

PROLOGUE

The year is Cosmic Era 71, PLANT and EA are both in the middle of a full-scale war.
Although some nations, like Orb and the Kingdom of Scandinavia, have managed to remain neutral in this conflict, it's only a mater of time before they also become involved in the Natural versus Coordinator conflict.
As Mobile Suits proved to be much more effective weapons of war then Mobile Armours, Orb ordered it's Research & Technology center Morgenroete to secretly develop prototype Mobile Suits at Orb's Heliopolis Colony, where currently the GAT-X 'Gundam' MS were being built.
Dubbing the prototypes 'MBF-PO', Morgenroete successfully designed and constructed multiple MS, giving each one distinctive colours to identify them.
First in line was MBF-PO1, Gold Frame.
MBF-PO2 was called Red Frame.
The third, MBF-PO3 received the name Blue Frame.
Preparations for shipment of the first three prototypes was under way when ZAFT attacked the Heliopolis Colony to steal the five GAT-X Gundams. Due to numerous mistakes on both EA and ZAFT's side, this lead to the destruction of the Heliopolis colony.
Since the Heliopolis incident was all over the news and every action near the Colony's remains was closely being monitored, Orb took no action to retrieve their prototypes, the new 'Natural OS' installed in some of them, or the new EA/Orb weapon hand plugs.
A little while after Heliopolis's destruction, Junk Guild technician Love Gule found and took Red Frame. Blue Frame was taken by Gai Murakumo, a member of the mercenary Serpent Tail. Gold Frame was retrieved by Rondo Gina Sahaku, an Orb Nobleman.

Shere Meiji, Natural and ex-commander of a Orb elite squadron, currently working for Morgenroete as one of their main Mobile Suit designers, was ordered by Uzumi Nara Athha to go and retrieve what was left of their MBF-PO project. Being the main designer of the MBF-POs, he was most suited for the job. He had been in Orb, bringing report when the Heliopolis Colony collapsed.
Now, in a Silverwind civilian vessel modified for MS transport, he is making his way towards the remains of the Heliopolis Colony.
Accompanying him are Mia Scarlet, Coordinator and also a ex-Orb soldier. (Navigator)
Rick Marble, a Natural Junk Guild tech (technician), and Nigel Schtauff, Coordinator and veteran ZAFT-soldier. He now has a job as one of Orb's MS test pilots.

Some lives are lived. Some lives are lost. Some lives are enjoyed. Some lives are being put to an end.
Some lives are worth remembering. I think this one is...

Hmm, sounds like a dramatic start...
I'll soon post some chapters!
