「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？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VbilGBsYi
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqbbjBRQjQ
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？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLr5I7HvB5
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6uEfKbEkt
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcjs5UNmyB
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE6FvsGPTk
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDcodMlGGp
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RIQF1wycf
「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⸺」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjlIE4eQPU
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbDTkcZvll
「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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnE6hMo8iT
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1MprP0zml
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOisWJvGdx
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5WiOZoEv0
「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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8vXiqpDI0
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeTIdrpimQ
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrzcTZgWxE
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7AObBaWRb
「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……」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7CHYgovLQ
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf5VwyfkiC
「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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBwwvNYhnC
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTp9T5PhiD
「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」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1M8TPwfaQ
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XsGlTuzMM
「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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqubqyzn9Yg
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnxJnnWSFb
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAlbFGOiuY
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD3rdr1OMi
「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？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a0Nbn1pHA
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheSW3swzcO
「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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJO0O26C9J
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy0JfxvZBo
「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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHwMTnKnKl

永遠沒意外，我們的圓頂。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtluBHcurjT
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlqswDYR3O
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfW2HXpMMM
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79Uewweqgg
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOllFfTQNE
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3wx5O2IEd
「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcHD0r6uFJ
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbyoXgwkGl
「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？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMDs6wXZF3
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QEm62oLqN
「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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShTIdEWIpR
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnkgHQViAr
「哼，那把邪門歪『刀』居然沒有被守衛發現。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDP6Bd8I3T
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v0LSO9emN
「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……」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPySgMSn9hr
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs8K8fGR5g
「在我手上比較有用啦。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhvTxDxr9d

「你空手就夠了啦！」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjeuQsJ7at

兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JCGYLLMKc
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58ZpG4tfMS
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT0KPdGoFH
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLW0rqZvGD
「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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzoFpCFVEA
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRbU5hLhiZ
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E3yjkoA5a
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FNfQaKneJ
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKv7Iax02t
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZQXyZw4Iy
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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxBGCiX0Mj
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqzdGiFkfb
「『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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAk72UdH4D
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwPBG2fvEa
「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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd3QRhhIFT
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcIcuOB4Wg
「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？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe0r6YhIax
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyVEDlIHZZ
「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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dfsKMkQJn
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX431gtdGZ
「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……」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVhOb25StZ
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWauC29lBWp
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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE7AwfT2gI
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIQbvydlR2
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxkrX48GQR
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMmkJ09tDJ
「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC3wk13bYG
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO7sR5Odee
「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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B3a9Cn80m
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItQmVdsOWo
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3zX8VL5ll
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX1fwNn27t
「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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRwfVXUwcl
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hLBTVp2n0
「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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6uLziMCHt
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PigT8bMH1
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！」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc3EvoYd6A
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYZfRWN8Iz
「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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNma5YmHhR
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr49Iu6DIY
「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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITolukyU5P
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGRZlPgzle
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigwWwjbcMe
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg5MwOk8Io
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmqt1QA9M6
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn0STSVAG7
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeBf9NDiRJ
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCZ2oYNbvx
「開始預習吧，飛輪球賽的規則！」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAiDDoOnd4
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa1wwfZI6I
齊波與烏霸起身，站在大圓兩端對望。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XmOYSmDe8
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD5Lll9rff
「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⸺」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtgnUItMso
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehNkZIwkSc
「講重點，L2。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hazPZjKgO

「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG4CEnd66z
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoqTskT4hj
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtNgsaPOQz
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN32oi52J29
「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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9fJ9wKUVu
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVskT45fBf
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4P7Gcgb7G
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73u1qpCYwV
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcntvgkoEbk
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqbrPpLS5T
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9tSc9T8JF
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX2ZcZBMNr
「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！」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7DEz5yuXu
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1TgXohxiM
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt29p7poaA
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ732PWrAUbW
「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。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnUeF2HaQu
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkhiM0bJlI
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G6otVu6dV
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx3uRi210o
「知道啦……」銀髮青年雙手抱胸，眼神少了一點傲氣。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaa4ax8EV0
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyuf39px2I
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyJkhzuMjN

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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9aFfnXKvS

茵坦經過附近，停下腳步看了一會兒，默默地返回居住區。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeJgrK7mZY
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLXOGUKjSG
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。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutWEorBMQ2
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ei2FH4Kmh
「啊。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVyEbwPnzQ

「啊……抱歉。」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Zt89Rjql

久違的招呼。自然人少女趕緊把包裹藏到身後。446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhCXhaCDat
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4TPQh4dia
「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？」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTV0Rn5bpH
446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYqfIpLXTn
「呃？嗯……他寄了好多補品，我都叫他幫自己買……」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORsfxtI6pJ

「莎拉……」446Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ykCk0UCp

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。
