Backfire is a short story from The Concourse to Victory, book three of the Course Books.

In this story, Hunter and Jason test an experimental version of Kiyoku in a newly-built mobile suit. This version, designed to take advantage of the human brain's compartmentalized nature, could theoretically allow a pilot to keep track of more targets and perform more tasks simultaneously.

Instead, it traps Hunter in his own mind and forces him to re-live events from his childhood, all the while convinced that he is actually traveling back in time. The experience, while incredibly unnerving, does provide him with an incredibly special gift, and he instructs Jason to "save a copy" of the experimental(and presumably dead-end) system.
