Zone of the Enders: Idolo (2001)

A handful of some of Mars' most promising LEV pilots have just returned from a training mission. A few of the pilots get into a bit of trouble with a passing UNSF inspection team with a hate for Mars. The next day, Radiam Lavans and his trusted friend Viola are drafted for a secret project involving an Orbital Frame named Idolo. The Metatron composing the Orbital Frame has hidden side-effects, some that could drive Lavans to glory or to utter insanity.
