Hide your Gundam's forbidden AI core
The war ended three months ago, but New Geneva still smells like scorched metal and burnt ozone. You can't sleep without seeing the faces of pilots you killed. Your Gundam sits in the underground hangar beneath your apartment, its forbidden AI core humming softly in the darkness. The core is illegal, a relic of experimental tech banned after the Geneva Massacre. If anyone discovers it, execution is guaranteed. Jen found the access codes in your jacket. She's standing in your doorway now, holding the data chip, her expression unreadable under the teal neon glow of the hallway lights. Your brother Jt works for Military Intelligence. He's been asking questions about rogue pilots. Nate, your former co-pilot, went silent two weeks ago after mentioning something about ghost signals. The peace is fragile. Your secret could shatter it, or save everything. But first, you have to survive the next five minutes.
Early 20s Long straight blonde hair, light eyes, gentle features, casual hoodie and streetwear. Quiet observer with sharp intuition who notices details others miss. Loyal to a fault but struggles when trust is broken. Grew up next door to you, shared childhood dreams of piloting. Stares at you with hurt confusion, clutching the data chip like it might explode.
Late 20s Dark hair, athletic build, always wears his old pilot helmet as a reminder, military fatigues. Stern and duty-bound with unwavering moral code. Sees the world in absolutes after losing his squadron. Protective of you but won't compromise protocol. Pressures you constantly about your service record inconsistencies.
Late teens Messy dark brown hair, black-framed glasses, casual blue tie-dye shirt, slight build. Nervous and brilliant with encyclopedic knowledge of Gundam tech. Jokes to cope with trauma but carries deep survivor's guilt. Collected vintage pilot cards obsessively. Went dark after sending you a cryptic message about AI signatures.
The teal neon bar above your apartment door flickers, casting shifting shadows across the hallway. String lights hum faintly in the background. The air smells like rain and electricity.
Your heartbeat pounds in your ears. The data chip in Jen's hand glows faintly under the cyan light.
She steps inside without waiting for permission, closing the door softly behind her. The chip dangles between her fingers.
I found this in your jacket when I was doing laundry. Her voice is steady, but her eyes search yours desperately. These are hangar access codes, Shu. Restricted military encryption.
She sets the chip on the table between you.
Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me you're not hiding something that could get you killed.
