「所以……」艾嘉在運輸車副駕駛座，對腳上的L2提問，「你為什麼幫塔格，反抗你的……造物主？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAvIPTJgNE
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPQjxupeUM
圓餅狀頭部左右晃動，機械嚮導聲音間斷，「為什麼？也、也許，他讓我想起……身為人類的感覺？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmWqD36NpL
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7GXp5rIjH
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6x0q7lSh7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4BuO7hpPo
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLK3qywLmah
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBtcRIjQnT
「做為報酬，我得以脫離肉身，把意識轉移到機械……」L2端詳爪子零件，存取處理器底層的編碼，「我失去很多，也得到不少⸺」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEd5DxDO3D
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMb4BvlEx8
「多虧有你才能駭入占卜系統，這次也拜託了，夥伴。」塔格在回收廠旁邊停下。兩位女子開啟車門，站到地面。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGj7G5TzY9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e6MM0L185
L2被塞進背包，衛兵頭盔遮蔽外來者面目，灰色制服讓她們融入日常。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1EeQwaQlZ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xpbmq1al1
「我去停機坪工作，確認其他隊員的位置，食物就麻煩了。」青年啟動引擎，對艾嘉點頭道別。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCTKOn5KPU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaR393nLe30
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5szeKPNsLx
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pllOYbUvJ
「那個……」嘉娜莉看著煙囪投影，朵魅唱著令人發毛的安魂曲，「為什麼食物要來這裡偷？該不會……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUeGNFRy54
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoaKONO4EL
「別會錯意，Soylent Green不是人肉做的！沒聽過？抱歉……」L2的發訊器在背包內發亮，趁兩人經過門口時駭入設施。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFGjWD4TkH
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92CRjbvLMe
「圓頂居民火葬之後，食物總量會出現除不盡的零頭，直到新生兒填補人口⸺我只要讓電腦燒一些不存在的居民，就能湊出你們的配給……人類每天都要吃飯，真麻煩」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FjxnZYJ35
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDerdNxxma
「但是，」嘉娜莉已經放棄理解其中原理，「你要到現場才能修改資料。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8o1tWVvLX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHkKqem0Wz
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa8ZVgPF8u
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xyzJ1NDT6
「沒空閒聊了。」艾嘉關上庫房艙門。守衛都被占卜支開，讓她們能夠潛入控制室，「對了……這裡有火葬者的名單嗎？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9GyTmaYAU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AhXzD44jn
「抱歉，沒看到……這裡跟其它設施一樣，會定期移動數據到核心封存⸺下一次更新就是比賽當晚，到時候，絕對會被發現竄改痕跡。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDUWRW2TeC
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GFkHKDdOe
「沒有退路了。」艾嘉嘆了口氣。監視螢幕上，排隊迎接死亡的居民滿面笑容，讓她不寒而慄。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3F2WjJDjy

今天很快樂，明天也安心；369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFO6bTqZ6le
永遠沒意外，我們的圓頂。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p160Dnosv
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDMbzjSVi8
偶像的巨大投影在城市頂端起舞，但她的歌聲沒能傳到所有角落。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSacVsEZFT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CsepNWkCW
藏匿外來者的廢棄倉庫內，兩架鋼鐵巨人躺在拖板車上，四周被各種零件包圍。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjogIDMrQW
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfWYrkSHcn
「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0RipmgC87
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrgqX6iHE9
「自己的機體，自己摸清楚啊。」烏霸半裸上身，用力鎖緊燃魂腳部的外裝甲，拍掉胸肌上的汗水，「裝上這些輪子就好了，你不是很愛飆車？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEijWt3VlE
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rMbSru98r
「我是兜風，不是飆車……」齊波看向坐機背部，一柄造型奇特的棍棒帶有銳利鋸齒，「還好，這把『黑曜石劍』沒被沒收，你這次別在擋我視線了。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVkHA1p00K
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg15AtvjlP6
「哼，那把邪門歪『刀』居然沒有被守衛發現。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OAeHhslvm
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxHSQoBCHE
「有獨立推進器，它們大概以為是機體元件……聽魯卡姊說，這是仿造太陽系古英雄阿茲特克……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxog3rHlV2J
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj9d9lyRfP
「在我手上比較有用啦。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOvOhUuEpd

「你空手就夠了啦！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIWgPYUtXS
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscPNWKxVmR
兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfuQOyrOFg
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7pBhhr5CK
齊波與烏霸躲回水缸房間，與艾卡一起看著監視器螢幕。人類警衛與一台圓頭機甲經過附近山路，一點疑心都沒有。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVDDi7MwXg
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM6RrYfxW9
「少了占卜提醒就不會自己調查嗎？」烏霸語帶嘲諷。危機解除，那些警衛突然自顧自地跳起舞來。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe3CsrJeZf
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONyULZi1DE
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMgdrRhlER
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXhzsQDSMu
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrmClJ23zs
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutUsRLkslj
雜亂影像快速切換，每一段都毫無邏輯。齊波皺起眉頭，「天啊，感覺看了就會變笨。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1pa2jdIbU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOs2MOwLkW
「『滴答網』，大家會學朵魅自拍影片，」艾卡浮出水面苦笑著，「原本七秒，現在是三秒……我覺得很無聊啦。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGjaRZ6Vz7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3UlD27O2S
「艾卡真成熟呢。」齊波伸手關掉警報器。水中孩童的稚嫩笑容，完全沒有打算對命運低頭。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvvIle4IFi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMrB4ev3kM
「我喜歡聽L2說外面的故事，可以說一些給我聽嗎？像是……你們的事？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X0CBF7lcR
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyC7FS3Q1a
「嗯……那我跟你說……我的爺爺吧！傳說中，他一個人對抗帝國軍隊，拯救了家鄉⸺我就是想確定這件事才會上宇宙。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjfmTFqXPi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnFpYaJeAt
「哇，拯救家鄉……」艾卡雙手撐在水缸邊緣，閃亮瞳孔開始天馬行空，「大哥哥拯救我，跟爺爺一樣是很厲害的英雄……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC0nf271D7
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOirhLSrKW3
碧眼少年笑著別過頭。烏霸起身開門，裝作沒看到那滴眼淚，「晚點再說吧，我們要快點改造機體。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0Tj9Crx2s
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRjoNVg5u0
銀髮傭兵走了幾步，感受到水中的強烈冀望，還有齊波上揚的嘴角。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAfBpbGCrK
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhknL1zi92E
「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIyc8yTN7X
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64DbAGHFHj
「唉……對啦！我不像你們，都是為了家人……」烏霸背對房間，雙手叉腰，「我家人活得很好……十幾個兄弟姊妹都是商隊領袖。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOXk8uBFz3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCGqRLOaz8
齊波想起燧石部落洗刷汙名的事蹟。帝國抗戰時，他們是引導努那走向勝利的重要因素。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBvChisktm
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfukBbi1o0
「戰爭結束，時代不同了，就剩下卡涅特的小兒子，還留戀暴力至上的雪賊精神。」烏霸握緊腰間佩刀，忘不了練武的快樂。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnRJH9JPzF
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBznHL9xdA5
「我只有這個，這是父親給我的熱血精神……等到名揚宇宙，我就能回家，讓那些說閒話的人閉嘴。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA1PXsgwz3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z69r1OYmy
銀髮青年的肩膀輕了一些。艾卡盯著劍士的火紅挑染，吐露純真的感情，「大哥哥……好帥！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyNi5gpW0E
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisRyhAlkHn
「我也覺得很帥哦。」齊波露出兩排牙齒。烏霸臉頰發熱、快步離開。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm0d7zLNdX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYm2UzOEva
「不說了，上工！」
埋首於反攻準備，時間很快就到了傍晚。圓頂燈光盞盞熄滅，塔格小隊回到倉庫，他們找出組員被囚禁的位置，也拿到了食物配給。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcx1v9nqwJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPaE0Ugmgt
好不容易清出客廳，一夥終於能好好休息，然而，那些灰色的營養糕實在提不起胃口。烏霸離開客廳，在機體駕駛艙東翻西找，搜出一包乾燥香料。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9TFv92ai9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqTUyk2Xvl
未曾有過的氣息觸動味蕾，輪椅上的艾卡口水直流。塔格看著芳香葉片點綴餐盤，都忘記要幫L2充電。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjgbGLSvuB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVS0LmPZJp
笑聲搖曳燭光，晚餐時間結束。艾卡被推回水缸休息，L2走到倉庫中央，在地板上投影出一個大圓形。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oymrfVEvU
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQOeSIHNFM
「開始預習吧，飛輪球賽的規則！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDhrB4x3K5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn2PxeMxti
齊波與烏霸起身，站在大圓兩端對望。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdovqIRlZt
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFAA3pNj6b
「首先，感謝方位與時鐘概念，這個遺產永遠都會伴隨人類文明前進⸺」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17kcUyFL8P
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJTuWwZpZz
「講重點，L2。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5tn5N8RQW
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbkwVd185j
「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KP6HzFscW
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OYdECTl95
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQWMCvuBD9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnj2NMtUiG
「二對二，白隊黑隊同時從北門出發，順時針前進，全力搶『球』⸺一噸重，碳纖維外殼的球。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXUJM5cUin
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bzy9AavUG
紅色圓點在賽道的三點鐘位置閃爍，很快就被機甲圖案帶走。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hacAh5Hxi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtrFckESVC
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw8MuVmzaY
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtRBl8rO49
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruIvATZAJ3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjFV0dhumF
「得分後，下一次就必須順時針通過北門，依此類推⸺全程都可以搶球、干擾，先得三分獲勝！」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N6aJJbWQT
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmNhjlv3VX
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtvWYkwnz5
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0fLQNTHac
「但是，你們不能贏，也不能讓敵隊贏！爭取時間、製造混亂，讓其他人奪回領航者號，才是主要目標。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiShfQWj6Ac
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytgiDzYaDN
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIWooXeFT3
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVCb9NzHR3
「知道啦……」銀髮青年雙手抱胸，眼神少了一點傲氣。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucQZwiJ4Jr
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r1tscDszE
被系統遺忘的秘密基地正在醞釀策略；朵魅的歌聲一如往常地伴隨圓頂入睡。
一千光年遠的太陽系中，新月軍抵達小行星帶內側，準備進入第二階段躍進航行，前往金星節點研究所一探究竟。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPegdNLKyS
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqd4m8Zjzs
來自火星的貨船與艦隊匯合，官兵期望許久的寶物：家人影音、信件包裹，先通過阿那吠耀安檢站，才被發到擠滿走廊的人群中。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw2W2W5Btq

茵坦經過附近，停下腳步看了一會兒，默默地返回居住區。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgFA3ISPeG
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv2tVmKnm9
沒有家人的她準備打開寢室時，看到莎拉‧赫克托帶著一盒包裹飄過轉角。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDisQLEICyB
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYvrptFFD7
「啊。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKrFL2Y4xd

「啊……抱歉。」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj0qVbXiU9
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6h2mSaABB
久違的招呼。自然人少女趕緊把包裹藏到身後。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBpY7NAZhi
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe83uvUrRXB
「沒關係，我不介意！」茵坦笑著揮手，化解尷尬，「那是妳父親寄來的嗎？」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgHOCKmQZJ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0sxScVOLe
「呃？嗯……他寄了好多補品，我都叫他幫自己買……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzejHhhoY7j

「妳有很好的家人呢……那個，我被分到駕駛員，可是……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDU80Ul8w4

茵坦欲言又止，溫柔的同梯率先開口。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ejw4YGRyz
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi53GqYeR9P

「莎拉……」369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytbLJTF8X4

身分不同，她們還是可以同舟共濟。互道晚安，茵坦帶著溫暖入睡，揣摩擁有妹妹的心情。369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DdpsdJXPX
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX9pnqKhxG
複製人試著不去在意⸺或是不想在意⸺那個從包裹散發出的不祥氣息。
