「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？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu3zE2lLOZ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJVrPd8X6D
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？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjKDKoj62h
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIUVl0X9zu
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTq9VYZmw6
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1GylaCgKJ
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8zx7V27pp
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurnRqDH5Tq
「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⸺」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmthF3pke8i
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0F28Ap8SC
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEdJjfqW4u
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVb6CFPtFL
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXBHfbFctw
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZPV0oWh85
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7fzlMBktc
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtxI2rtOhC
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R7z3ReqhO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNZjk1wyt0
「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……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHL1oLexOQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuw0v5jyMr
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzzQRIuIYn
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc3xKrTGud
「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」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK8Lh8B46o
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxsx4yMGZC
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn7C3VYtL1
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KPmUfUBmN
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf95BxgSnl
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVclwFshRuQ
「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？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMAr7x8MsO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkkvdpEkdz
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHvvZgbAha
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MTCiPFCOV
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0LwCbtvvR

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKRh763rPi
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VTA2Zq2zc
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAIpdxJ5sz
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KPBts5Xyw
「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53zbeLSmes
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XEmyxzlDv
「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？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUvWE6fcpQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVAKgjn0vy
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl0WnTlN5x
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06c5A8HyHN
「哼，那把邪門歪『刀』居然沒有被守衛發現。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQmLnhlGbZ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnvZY7F0VF
「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……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM3x4AA57Y
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7MIS6Cg0c
「在我手上比較有用啦。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fzcsyV0R3

兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42nYfaClIA
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZede9zZq3
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy81iQ02wgG
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUzhITZKX1
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCwd1L7U3H
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnb63YQs2a
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5AqhjTmll
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC8SIRUdon
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMvYzz9ZeQ
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZiTJsDK27
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AkTXVEkcu
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhtRsiREea
「『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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiMBV1nq67
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVz7BbKuww
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywQ7qwQmFU
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJTEYFrmLt
「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？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4urW5v0uCE
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TFWMajMVN
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMg5wChHsX
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfylxILqO9r
「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……」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuBVfCF0BY
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCncHIzWzs
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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dqsKUkJu7
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VBgHazt2S
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2yoHqv1oP
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hx2Mh8eS9
「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjCHqd0I9O
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtsS5AyICi
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aeTArMUQO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIWPafZNGw
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ368e4AoO
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMwaUSXvNA
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7yfRlXZ2w
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXohpUx31or
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZAe10xwJV
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZCvJ2Lqo4
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！」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvroHinEATo
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGr6kYhUhV
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDey3qJQUOW
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjT8grxTtF
「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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6PVUF009o
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFvEnDWieP
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe73tkMDJkv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorwjBqCX46
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvjyflnQXr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5MgVPoluD
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZU66LYNTC

「開始預習吧，飛輪球賽的規則！」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6nddQXqNK

齊波與烏霸起身，站在大圓兩端對望。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhfT2laUxr
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHsgmpyFt2
「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⸺」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmP7tWQZSC

「講重點，L2。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq9sr3Skg1

「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fwa4VEeay
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCMwVjSzfy
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHEVbeOv73
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ89X6SCFq
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnhTHSkPUI
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMm8IQHZFi
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqjt29HjFK
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9FMWIMrq9
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqkfeKF5iz
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQFeXNAf29
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvMyspcuIi
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHwIoSHJsm
「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！」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20kGY15nAC
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQj8mMtJFH
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgU1jznFs3J
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqol1juacY
「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。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAambDZvwut
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyufKMmpi5E
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJzlciL3qX
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfJ4mpNwqq
「知道啦……」銀髮青年雙手抱胸，眼神少了一點傲氣。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK6ng3qsXL
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvTc6ds38i
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7rN5RhxaE

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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6suLHSuSF

茵坦經過附近，停下腳步看了一會兒，默默地返回居住區。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAafIrl4Ue
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gjhYt9zLx
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。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FUZw9C3LM
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM6qPBFeFM
「啊。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SOgUsnZif

「啊……抱歉。」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5BYdlAaUd

久違的招呼。自然人少女趕緊把包裹藏到身後。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6kbC2darv
450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn96D8LdV6V
「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？」450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX5l065Leo

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。
