A large robot, well over 200 feet tall, is laying on its back in the unnatural darkness. Small sparks illuminate its body intermittently.

I stand silently in front of a window overlooking the GUNDAM as basketball-sized robots of different colors move over it in repair vehicles to polish it up.

A few of my fellow pilots are arguing heatedly.

"I'm telling you, Bockman! The GUNDAM's are mass-produced!"

"And I'm telling you that these are unique! James, why else would the world around us be acting like, 'What the fuck are those?'"

"Why would we, barely out of our teens, get such unique Mobile Suits?!"

Just as James was finishing his sentence, Ben walked in. "Ladies, ladies, you're both pretty. Now, hush. Miss Daburo is about to come on."

Benjamin Lonneville, our unofficial team leader just because he's the oldest.

The other four pilots walked in and Brandon and Keith set down their HARO's. The little basketball bots are known as HARO's. Pet robots. The helmets go on the bench and we all stand in our flight suits and wait for Miss Daburo.

The videoconference TV on the wall blinks to life to reveal a smooth face and long, straight black hair.

"Hello, Meisters. Excellent flying today."

We all enthusiastically thank her and exchange brofists.

"Specifically notable is Keith Meyer's approach to removing the airbase in South Kitania."

Keith's HARO then spoke up. "I helped Keith. I helped Keith!" (notable is the way it puts emphasis on the word in the middle of the sentence, every time.)

We all laugh and Miss Daburo continues. "Tomorrow's first mission requires only GN-003 and GN-007." Cody and I nod at each other. "North Kitania has assumed that we're siding with them. Miss Luna will be in to equip the Kyrios with a disposable bomb bay in a few hours.

"Dynamos will be backup, so Keith, stay in range, but under the radar." Keith nods.

"Lucas, take the Exia to Lithuania and remove the battle. They're fighting over a mine and they need to be stopped before a real war breaks out. Brandon, stay close to him.

"Woodman and Lonneville, you're getting your GN-Bazookas tuned up, so you're a last resort. Stay close to your GUNDAM's anyway.

"North Kitania mission prep begins at 0500, so make sure you sleep well. Lithuania mission take-off at 0700. Be ready. Good luck."

The TV power cuts and the screen goes blank, and everyone else files out. I look at the  Kyrios again, and then run into the hangar. I board and start it. "Daniel Hewitt. Kyrios. Switching to flight mode."

Kyrios is erected to a standing position and I take off into the night, keeping low and slow. I type a command into the keypad and Kyrios starts to change. An information banner slides across the bottom of the forward screen, "Switching to flight mode". When the switch is complete, I return to the hangar.
DISCLAIMER!
The inspiration for this comes from the Anime, GUNDAM00.
I do not own the GUNDAM designs, or the names of the Mobile Suits used. I do not own anything, besides the storyline, and the characters.
