PART X: THE ZERO SYSTEM
Mechanism
In the After Colony Era (Gundam Wing), Newtypes no longer exist, instead
a device strangely familar has been used to enhance the pilot's ability,
giving them temporary Newtype ability. This device was named the ZERO SYSTEM,
in which the 5 scientists (its inventors) claimed, "should have never been
invented."
This device works on the basic principle of integrating
the pilot's brain waves with the actual Mobile Suit. All information that
are detected by the system's sensors are immediately transmitted to the
pilot's brain directly. It bypasses the normal human receptors of sight
(eyes), sounds (ears), taste & smell (tongue and nostrils) and touch
(touch sensors) and striaght to the brain. Furthermore, any information
or thoughts that the pilot is contemplating or pondering about will also
be detected by the ZERO SYSTEM. The system will then analyse and edit these
"thoughts" and transmitt the "thoughts" back to the pilot's brain within
nanoseconds. Thus, the reaction-time of the pilot is almost down to zero,
as the system has become his "eyes and ears" so to speak. The neuro-sensory-system
of the pilot will be stimulated and his combat skills increases exponentially.
The ZERO SYSTEM was installed into 2 mobile suits
only: The WING GUNDAM ZERO & GUNDAM
EPYON
Dangerous Side-Effects
Similar to the Psychommu systems
in the UC era, the ZERO SYSTEM also have some dangerous side effects. Just
like ZETA-Gundam's Biosensor, the ZERO SYSTEM places immense mental burden
onto the pilot's brain. The average pilot can not cope with this pressure,
and their brain will suffer from information overload, inducing them to
lose sanity. (reminescent of Carmille Vidan from Zeta-Gundam)
The ZERO SYSTEM has another even more dangerous
side effect. As mentioned before, the ZERO SYSTEM tracks down all enemy
targets and feed them directly into the pilot's mind. Furthermore, it will
also analyse any thoughts that the pilot have in his mind. Thus, if there
are no physical targets nearby, the ZERO SYSTEM will continue to search
for potential enemies, anything that lurks within the pilot's brain (anything
that slightly annoys him or have doubt about) will be interpreted by the
system as an "enemy". The system will then edit this information and transmitt
it back into the pilot's brain immediately. Now a simple idea or thought
has turned into a "real enemy" in the pilot's mind, and he will not stop
until that "enemy" is destroyed. Once that has been done, the process restarts
again and the pilot will find his next "enemy". Therefore, the danger with
the ZERO SYSTEM is that it causes the pilot to see anything that is remotely
threatening, or anything that makes him angry, as his enemies... inducing
him into a continual killing spree until the pilot dies from information
overload.
Only Heero Yuy (otherwise known as "The Perfect Soldier"), and the eventual owner of the WingZERO was able to master this system successfully. Miliando Peacecraft was also able to control it to an extent.
PART XI: MOBILE DOLLS
The mobile dolls are a new breed of fighting machine.
These all fully mechanical Mobile Suits, except that it contains no cock-pit.
The entire mobile doll is controlled by a central computer, and this
computer makes all the battle decisions by itself. In comparison to a normal
pilot, Mobile dolls are extremely powerful. The computerization allows
for fast reaction time and co-ordination as well as pin-point accuracy
in aiming and attacking. Mobile Dolls are no longer restricted by human
limitations, they can fight at high intensity without suffering from exhaustion
(in contrast to a normal human pilot, who will get tired inevitably), can
perform radical maneuvers that would have otherwise put too much strain
on the human pilot's body. Furthermore, a group of Mobile Dolls can be
extremely devastating as they can coordinate and attack/defend as one.
Miliando Peacecraft just added simple military stategy formations into
the central computer and his legions of Mobile Dolls wreck havoc upon the
enemy.
However, although they may be superior to the average
pilot, they are still no match for the powerful Gundam Pilots. Since Mobile
Dolls lack personality, their movement and attack patterns become predictable
and are easily destroyed by the Gundams.
