A flotilla of ships navigates through space, the SEEDs fleet, passing through the upper atmosphere of a desert planet. Aboard one, SEEDs Ship Five, a boy in cold-weather gear enters a room full of hundreds of people in cryogenic suspension and greets them, some by name. As he does this, he is knocked off his feet by an explosion. The boy is called to return to his other companions over the PA: his twin brother, Nai, and a woman he addresses as Rem, their adoptive mother. Rem hurries both boys to an escape shuttle as the ship falls apart around them, deflecting Vash's fearful requests to know what's going on. After climbing into the pilot seat, Nai asks Rem to come too, but she hangs back. She tells the boys she loves them and that meeting them has brought her joy. Then she launches the shuttle, just before a gout of flame roars through the corridor and erases Rem from sight. Nai is almost entirely stoic, but the other boy - Vash - is tearful and devastated. Nai steers the shuttle through clouds of debris, around other dying ships, and towards the desert planet's surface. | |||
May 25, 10:00 AM. Two people drive across a desert, driving a truck towing a battery pack with a satellite atop it and listening to November Public Broadcasting for the news, reporting that the July city government is after a suspect in a series of widespread mass murders and Plant thefts. The driver, a small young woman by the name of Meryl Stryfe, is talking with her older male colleague, Roberto de Niro, who persistently refers to her as "Newbie". It turns out that they are reporters working for a news agency and have been assigned a story, and that she is the newest recruit to be brought on. Recently graduated from the high class November University, Meryl is eager to prove herself and change things for the better while Roberto says that her good intentions and inexperience will be quick routes to death - the planet they inhabit, No Man's Land, is a harsh and unforgiving place (as demonstrated by the enormous alien whale breaching the sand behind them). As Meryl grows defensive and irritated with his cynicism, the truck's engine suddenly dies, which Meryl is embarrassed to realise is because she forgot to charge its battery. | May 25, 10:00 AM.
