Eh, I'll worry about prequels later. For now, I'd just as much like to get the basic history hammered out.
Somehow, I can still see the Third Reich rising and causing trouble for everyone. Civil War in Germany? Maybe a military coup? Whatever - I still think that it's viable. This means that we'll get to see the Thule ocult. Hellboy, anyone?
Puts the idea in my head of Zeke, a few story arcs down the road, going freelance with his Technomage skills, but closely affiliated with MITHRIL and the BPRD. Perhaps even a liason between the two, where the uber-science and the supernatural meet.
If we want to mix things up even more we can throw Full Metal Alchemist into the mix as well. After all, Galbadia = Germany.
Thoughts of somehow throwing Rocket Girls into this mess and it would actually be pretty easy to pull off. As one of MITHRIL's brand new Field Technologists, Zeke needs to be able to go wherever he is needed to quickly discern the operation of captured over-technology. It would not be surprising to me if such was captured in orbit.
MITHRIL might be getting more chummy with the USN, but the US Government as a whole is still a bit standoff-ish about them so they can't depend on NASA for any orbital support. So, they turn to the only trully private space agency - the Solomon Space Agency. Of course, they quickly run into the size problem.
Zeke is smallish - he barely qualifies as 'average size' for his age bracket and he's nothing but lean meat. He may be a bit heavy, but I think that he'd be able to be lifted as a mission specialist on the SSA's Mangostein orbiter. Yukari, the usual pilot, catches a summer cold so it falls to Matsuri to fly this mission. And then you can add another paramour to the mix.
Why would Matsuri want Zeke? Well, for one thing they find that he can handle himself very well in the jungle, making it back at a time that is only second to when Matsuri help Yukari. He's also capable of tuning himself into the spirits, which appeals to her upbringing greatly. And then there's the fact that for being a schmuck at times, he's a genuine good man. Oh, and the fact that he's got all those other girls hanging around him doesn't bother her one bit - she even suggests that he move to the Solomons so he can legally marry them all.
