OK the first update in 4 YEARS!
Well I kinda lied. This is not a full update, but rather a poll to see whether there's still any interest in this story. This is also a serious question I'm posing so please read and take this into consideration because I won't post anything unless I think there's enough interest.
Ok so, here's the proposition. Now that Gundam Seed Destiny has ended and the series has ended, I feel as if my story will have to fight too much canon in order to progress. So, I'm proposing that I write an bridge chapter that will link this story and its characters to Destiny and the actual plot will pick up after the end of GSD.
I enjoyed the scenes at the end of the Special Edition GSD's that showed a bit of what happens after the Second Bloody Valentine War, and I've got a plan for what to do with the 3 Ships Alliance after the war so look at what I've got below and let me know what you guys think. If you're interested in seeing a story like this go into the works then let me know and I will inform you all of my decision.
Forgive the poor formatting below, but apparently FF doesn't allow for outline formatting.
-----------------------------SUGGESTED STORYLINE FOR PPF V2.0-----------------------------
It is CE74 and the Second Bloody Valentine War has come to a close. World nations are in chaos reorganizing, trying to restore balance to the world. Although the war has ended, it is not the end of all conflict. Pockets of radicals still exist everywhere. This story will explore the lives of the main characters after the end of GSD and will incorporate this:
Emergency
Cooperative
Heightened
Operations
ECHO Unit- Formed after the CE73-74 war and composed of the ships from the original 3 ships alliance along with the OMNI Enforcer ship Dominion II and the ZAFT destroyer Voltaire. Mobile suits within this unit are aligned with their ships, not nations of origin. The original purpose of the unit was to operate as an independent entity called upon to neutralize escalating conflicts between nations. As a collaboration of multinational militaries their allegiance to peace for all nations stands before their allegiance to their own nations. The unit is codenamed ECHO for its callback to the horrors of the Bloody Valentine War and the Destiny War. The space base of operations for this unit is located in Copernicus City on the moon and Aprilius One. The terrestrial base is on Onogoro Island, Orb Union.

------------------------------------------------END SECTION------------------------------------------
So, a few notes. For those of you who remember this ancient story of mine then you'll recall that the Wings of Freedom were Kira's mercenary group. In the new version of this story, they have, for the most part disbanded since the second war. Alex and Mike are the only still active pilots in ECHO. Gordon has retired to ORB as one of Morgenroete's Mobile Suite Design Engineers. Lowe and Gai have left the Wings to pursue further endeavors in mercenary work and the junk guild respectively. Alan, sadly to say, was killed in action at the final battle, his suit unable to fend off, Rey Za Burrel's ZGMF-X666s Legend's assault.
Well, there you guy's have it. The basic plan for the new Past, Present, and Future without giving away too many plot cues. Of course Karissa will make a return in this series and the pairings remain as before, but perhaps with age (my own aging), the story will hold less of a naïve note and perhaps a bit more maturity this time around. Hopefully you guys find this worth it and hopefully I have the chance to entertain you all once again with a story of action, love, intrigue, and hope for a better tomorrow.
All the Best,
GATX-105B
