New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop
「無言の前奏曲~サイレンス・プレリュード」
Silence Prelude
The prologue came out in Gundam Ace, so I'll summarize the information that I've found on the internet:
- There are going to be new mobile suits appearing in the novel. Focus will be on their militaristic nature.
- The era is called "MC-0002 NEXT WINTER".
- The novel takes place on Mars.
- The story takes place from the viewpoint of Sally Po's daughter, Kathy Po. (Rank is 准佐!?)
- She's affiliated with Preventer. A subordinate of WuFei (Mars Branch Chief).
- She possesses a microchip sent from Earth Sphere Unified Nation President Dorothy T. Catalonia.
- She believes it contains information to initiate "Operation Mythos".
- However, Chang WuFei instructed her to download three files aside from the memory chip from a history bank.
- Kathy doesn't understand what good previous century's data will be.
- The file was recorded in the summer and autumn of AC195 and the spring of AC196.
- The only common entry the files have is the keyword: "Gundam pilots".
- The Summer AC195 file is believed to have been something wrote by Treize.
- Rilke's "Autumn" is quoted at the beginning and after two lines "That is my eternal friend, Milliardo Peacecraft" was added, but was then crossed out with a line in the end. The contents are like a short essay or a letter.
- It is summarized with "I must be a loser to change history" and is signed "TK".
- The next file is Autumn AC195 in which transfer student "Duo Maxwell" reads an essay on the theme of the relations between the Earth and its colonies.
- The final file is Spring AC196. The recorder is Kathy's mother, Sally.
- Data on conversation between Relena and an elderly person are on the file.
- The file contains other attached data aside from the sound.
- It's the blueprints and operations manual for "frozen capsules for artificial hibernation".
- The blueprints are signed "J".
- When she arrived at the Preventer's Mars Arctic Base (north pole), Kathy went straight to Master Chang (WuFei), who resides there alone.
- She informs of being handed down the authorization of "Operation Mythos" and suggests the awakening of the Aurora Princess.
- The "sleeping beauty" is sealed in a frozen capsule for artificial hibernation.
- A voice is heard behind Kathy, "You're just like your mother."
- Appearing was a middle aged man in black priests clothes with a young boy with long hair tied in a braid.
- The middle-aged man who appeared at random was nothing but smiles. "I'm Father Maxwell. The Father Maxwell who may run and hide, but never tells a lie. And this brat with the unpleasant eyes is my son, Duo."
- The priest brings special attention to Kathy, "By the way, I do hope that you brought three files with you. The three preludes are needed to awaken the Aurora Princess."
