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!
