The Zero Song - ordnance11 - 05-02-2005
Does anyone remember the Zero program in Gundam Wing? It's the program where the computer syncs up with Heero Yui and feeds him data on a tactical situation and courses of action. And it also speeds up the person's response time exponentionaly. It's one of the reasons why Wing Zero is so deadly. Of course, it progrms puts so much of a strain on the mind of the user that personality side effects come out.
This is my idea for the Zero Song:
You folks might recognize it from the Transformers:The Movie Soundtrack
Dare by Stan Bush
Sometimes when your hopes have all been shattered
And there's nowhere to turn
You wonder how you keep going
Think of all the things that really mattered
And the chances you've earned
The fire in your heart is growing
You can fly, if you try leaving the past behind
Heaven only knows what you might find
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare
Everybody's trying to break your spirit
Keeping you down
Seems like it's been forever
But there's another voice if you'll just hear it
Saying it's the last round
Looks like it's now or never
Out of the darkness you stumble into the light
Fighting for the things you know are right
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
The power is there at your command
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
It's time to take a stand
And you can win, if you dare
Dare - dare to believe you can survive
You hold the future in your hand
Dare - dare to keep all of your dreams alive
The power is there at your command
Dare - dare to keep all your love alive
Dare to be all you can be
Dare - 'cause there is a place where dreams survive
And it's calling you on to victory
I see it doing a couple of things:
Roll a d10 or d6 to see how many levels his physical attributes temporarily increase for the duartion of the song. His mental attributes...let's just say his situational awareness and response time go off the charts.
His helmet feeds him continuous stream of info on the tactical sutuation and suggest courses of action.
I can see Doug pulling off some impossible stunts while the song is playing. Of course, the physical and mental after effects might be pretty bad as well.

Oh, this one has been on the mix CDs I have in the car for years. Ed Becerra first pointed me at it, oh, it must be almost five years ago. I actually was thinking of using it for something in DW6 -- it seems like the perfect "Give Shinji Confidence" song to me.-- Bob

Hmmmm...turn Spineless into a version of Heero Yui for a random period of time--now that has possibilities. ^^

Or at least give him 3 minutes of feeling fearless and courageous, so he at least has the experience and can draw upon the memory in a time of need...-- Bob

And let's not forget him dealing with the consequences of anything he does while under it's effect.
Planting a big wet one on Asuka, Rei, and Misato because he's not terrified of the possible rejection has GOTTA have consequences.

Maybe not Rei... depends on where in the story it happens. If it happens at all. I have other plans for bolstering Shinji's self-image, and this discussion is just a gee-what-if for the moment.-- Bob

Hasegawa Sora, you mean? Dunno if she's going to show up at all in DW5 -- neither Chris nor I have expressed any intent at this time for her to appear on screen, although that may change if our needs change...
