Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury - Prologue

On Mercury, breakthroughs in cybernetic prosthetics have paved the way for massive, pilot-operated mobile suits. But the same bioengineering that makes these machines possible exacts a harsh physical price on those who use them, and as Mercury’s technology grows more formidable, anxiety spreads back on Earth.

When Ericht arrives at the test site despite being told to stay away, she unexpectedly forms an unusual connection with the machine—setting off a chain of events that quickly spirals into turmoil.
