「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？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49LBVwlYjX
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD1EXbJV13
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？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYTXUdfacH
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpVOhNq7nL
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqSiFrFdy4
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiuDhBadGI
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIA8fQZIdG
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexwyXlgcpK
「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⸺」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDodRtunwVm
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjLTMC0xaW
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Kw4twwKg
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN2mXijiFa
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SWDqLiqpN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrM1zbng6K
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7NKpvnFXD
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTUY4c1XXQ
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOfXHaJxqB
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hmirXlgjf
「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……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e0lTwNDET
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinZUzGrSjw
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB7MSwo8m0
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfENT7kR2x
「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」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhrAVQ9JrN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9E1fJj6DF
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruupDIY90S
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKpH4ENhOA
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsWRIZMRFI
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sssrLJhLt
「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？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtyPXoCb58
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYogW0E1C0
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnCTrGODUu
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlQ2AH6C8
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtR3UjuFNf

今天很快樂，明天也安心；370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMJlYzV4Ch
永遠沒意外，我們的圓頂。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllPBrK7T9l
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Dpfi7NaP
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX6tLlEjYA
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fmp0oNAU8
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVJKGVYZQi
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMv7dFMUUJ
「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqujKxyhaTS
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbXCemfhvA
「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？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RNZrClY60
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYXqcYzIYf
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4yjgprmTa
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mKRwGCkzu
「哼，那把邪門歪『刀』居然沒有被守衛發現。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AmrpjH3uE
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2rAo861CH
「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……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwkwECNppC
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ544VD6ph5
「在我手上比較有用啦。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHIKXyis75

「你空手就夠了啦！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjihf36Q3gy
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaBERX2XIu
兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ipW5QbE9z
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJXM0rLm9Z
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBtbgIzM3C
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0RRjlNP9S
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg09jbMzF3i
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGWWVNeYHY
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OeTOLG06j
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXC3uN3xJB
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdtpDu2XOq
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FVysxUVMn
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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQgGjZA9r0
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSay8UztHzb
「『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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5ow84osnU
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAEFZOkeeR
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHJAGU4pq2
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwbZfIcSIW
「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？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZvXSNmcn4
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUNbZzfmzy
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rVvznhK7V
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBsNX6saYq
「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……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVEVq9HEYv
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkV6uvsKFD
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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbYMZ7GVqi
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTZOEId0Qd
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmundsJBqhl
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV11a0AhjcM
「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jOoD5rdHf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf1eWKmURJ
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGmQBooam8
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgix9InwiPA
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfmNJNWD94
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKAIAj85kf
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlmVrKV8TW
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrt6lyy4ne
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNOIJhXJgF
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm24fpmpKOB
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！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmovKWduksP
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1I9exHZOk
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eXwiuLxkj
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6REnuhjQbb
「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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuue3FvXZnf
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvJyDmJ2zX
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlLxFsGF15
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnp17RMvSZ
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAVFsgubwR
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXl10PRqQi
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYdlDUyT9x
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3RMuxus8Z
「開始預習吧，飛輪球賽的規則！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLReObSWxza
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BY3rWwBNt
齊波與烏霸起身，站在大圓兩端對望。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA6EEBu6gh
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuHzO8Aam4
「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⸺」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3OCNi6FJR
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57nqqoMKIX
「講重點，L2。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngc3L4ODDG
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8Z84ws7nr
「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zbw1uzqcc
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb4dOxl546
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDI5cfmMUn
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vIcvrKj92
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRMTYlt2bK
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL2Dj4tHnN
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5PrCMDAN3
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyZ0cU5g2g
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AhgyBu69s
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmE9B9h3g8
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNKX4TfBj9
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUhFjaY8pk
「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！」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LHi09eYpN
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwkttnRb8T
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdCbiKMp7i
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQE0Y3398r
「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。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk5xEvhHZv
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5tXffPhpZ
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6vydv2sSl
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqT2iaI5No
「知道啦……」銀髮青年雙手抱胸，眼神少了一點傲氣。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwHYU3aeTA
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRXDtp9gvZ
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNLVdA9OGS

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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUlZKBwLH2

茵坦經過附近，停下腳步看了一會兒，默默地返回居住區。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKuL2OItnV
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcR1FynT4Z
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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkH5U2gNRz
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV45ox1c9f
「啊。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPJP2tvvuh

「啊……抱歉。」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndXcktjz2x
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQlnzSdb2X
久違的招呼。自然人少女趕緊把包裹藏到身後。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SjwJJpxV0
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRCOphJ87i
「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？」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgjInOgWd1
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ703O4VnniD
「呃？嗯……他寄了好多補品，我都叫他幫自己買……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycVrnet0ng

「妳有很好的家人呢……那個，我被分到駕駛員，可是……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOpTjO4M0Y
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMvpT3OkZs
茵坦欲言又止，溫柔的同梯率先開口。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsOG4hUDHv

「莎拉……」370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjhQbIm12t

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。370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNlNXaoS5D
370Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2DVYU2bEG
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。
