「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？」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToswy0v1yt
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KXf4Q1wm5
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？」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBgr1bWUQY
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rrdpz4n7J
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pAbnNzRpU
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTWgcEjnP3
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtizp05wtGO
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuZ47zIFGo
「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⸺」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ggxzR671
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X2i3QwcpX
「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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxsr9jcSk2
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhVGaMzPHN
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJq5WN8y5f
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K5rwjiAaR
「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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gXUDOGgyz
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKz4OqSgnI
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJkysvXUZO
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDd2a4NVOf
「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……」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLOy0nxUvQ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kG9t5yMVL
「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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsI7o6kfPb
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthdqWMXRMx
「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」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNN6BKq8kVq
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiKhrcR2sF
「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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7gaGVgcg5
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1wiHHNwt1
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQILp2DLTfL
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyLpnOvwwC
「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？」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtEge0A5eo
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vk7DFf7DZ
「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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZnRo2X3RC
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUqqzVmQhm
「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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeqPH6ELBD

今天很快樂，明天也安心；448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhzB8lQNvf
永遠沒意外，我們的圓頂。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3q4v1k4yq

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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrWaY6ZAXa
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GM8nXYxZm
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYRbBsadse
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5AtzNLcCt
「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8A4u4jTkEg
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktYAtRiXCj
「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？」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV4jiZ4mqI
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvlN5Mfx2g
「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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKinTmmdwL
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6u6G6QJCU
「哼，那把邪門歪『刀』居然沒有被守衛發現。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmH0eOJvJ7
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMKP9veDe9
「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……」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdW1oCyXFX
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DbHDevIL3
「在我手上比較有用啦。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurFTXInZJN

「你空手就夠了啦！」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTwVztZvXH

兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6lMAZ7KvF
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFkLZPtznO
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuhFQUoB48
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pCyrWz7uP
「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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa8Gl2rIBc
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqTb4fQAKY
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzkw2gXdXB
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRQwdAj2lx
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmQYj0itPu
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2QdMCuooA
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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokx8umGRNt
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeeZFlEAo6
「『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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPQI7Y8e9K
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpLhnc59NX
「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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU70ZTInENj
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVgxbg3Opo
「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？」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXdZaeFFul
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMgxlfZLbK
「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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqh7yrPrym
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU6N5KCuz7
「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……」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ysUYgUA4
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhSHaHnC0b
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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q3ZKnJKso
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs292tMDISX
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CLvALqtxK
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxSp3NxNJz
「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoe0eN0vV5
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTbeYvS1Mu
「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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ418cSshYum
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDBXz4lOqz
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgqY9TzpSG
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0yAi9CJcn
「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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnbNy9McgN
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbbRyd5FKp
「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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTXj2kg98Z
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuk0AdqAWt
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！」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIheKMgzAl5
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ruSAsmtwt
「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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4fAuJv9GR
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwYNUUTeDW
「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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaszA6BjnrT
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m1grtav3u
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08Jvx5e2wh
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qubkfQLKb
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0lO5JrSTQ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLH32C40lZf
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMFcYOZsvA
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqgLmXJPXE
「開始預習吧，飛輪球賽的規則！」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTd68HlfaM
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe51HFADZok
齊波與烏霸起身，站在大圓兩端對望。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1cnzU3AQy
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrNb2E7cyg
「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⸺」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvcCETBccm
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0axsMnQku
「講重點，L2。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScaVrj4tv8
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNBW4UEtQN
「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ioRz8rZCD
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F3VXLz6Sw
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJznlYKigBW
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdkMSCqSUS
「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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIETiFOb6z2
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgOSY3nvhh
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnmrwlC3ft
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06WWQRaumU
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY01WImohfc
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9HtxR3Lk0
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6qUICH9DP
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ694nRyfQ17
「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！」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJcqSOHRVy
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtSI2Iv2E8
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbN50IXzM6
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xTkskHoOI
「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。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGlIwM5bIL
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g70ZNLtON
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG2cGqemsx
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCByzSpiMB
「知道啦……」銀髮青年雙手抱胸，眼神少了一點傲氣。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOQei2p1Jd
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zCyN0KwcX
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrKcniVSll

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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVeiKFZhPs

茵坦經過附近，停下腳步看了一會兒，默默地返回居住區。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSGwTgsS63
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt43Y7jfVOQ
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。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgcXNq51a7
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhY2oBxWJM
「啊。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB4shqCfol

「啊……抱歉。」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAkR5iS4nt

久違的招呼。自然人少女趕緊把包裹藏到身後。448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfZ9xORUXD
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQgjPuM5ub
「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？」448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkoIPyAqnB
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIHVdTYe66

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。
