吾王,您看到了嗎?我們的豐功偉業……326Please respect copyright.PENANAbSAPtuEzbe

流線設計的遊艇被無盡的冰層圍繞,優雅地用放熱器融出一條航路。克洛維斯身穿大衣站在船頭,感受臉上的刺骨寒風,遙望遠方的南極浮島。象徵帝國起源的輝煌都市被薄霧壟罩,多了一分神秘色彩。326Please respect copyright.PENANAjwyqNlfkj6

「陽烈……我看不到……」326Please respect copyright.PENANASH6M6mJWnV
326Please respect copyright.PENANAkogLdSlhq4
艙內陰暗處,黃金雕刻的容貌微微反光。千年英豪⸺昂天的聲音,不像在戰場上聽到的那樣生龍活虎,326Please respect copyright.PENANAJxleCMC16n
326Please respect copyright.PENANAFGyV8i4Uva
「看不到你……看不到我……人事已非……成就、幸福,又何在?」326Please respect copyright.PENANAjl887vgFQa
326Please respect copyright.PENANA12kjKzzVmr
「幸福?」克洛維斯轉過身,陽烈的腦控制他的嘴,低語道:「整個宇宙中,幸福的總量是恆久不變的,隨時都等著我們取用。」326Please respect copyright.PENANABkeJ0sWy9m
326Please respect copyright.PENANAVOqZiFAlTe
「不變……」326Please respect copyright.PENANA4RS7PzCcwT
326Please respect copyright.PENANAtuF4tLf0hJ
「當某人獲得幸福,其它生命就會承受等量的苦難。為達均衡,絕對沒有什麼……全體都能幸福的方法。生在世間就得受苦,我們心裡都知道。有些人認為,死亡是種解脫,這種觀念是方便,也是逃避……逃避『不想受苦,就得爭奪幸福』的事實。」326Please respect copyright.PENANA289DipdW9G
326Please respect copyright.PENANAr70J4Et4UT
「自私……」326Please respect copyright.PENANAmdfvCzEmVx
326Please respect copyright.PENANAFIdLU3T0DS
「自利,是物種的基礎。永恆的生命,是我們迎戰萬物法則的手段;淘汰弱者、吸收強者,讓『受選者』獲得最大量的幸福,才能用渺小肉身去探索宏大宇宙,而非將希望寄託在『來世』……或是『傳承』,這些不穩定的事物。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAcol3O4aTJq
326Please respect copyright.PENANAVHL0G8Wp8T
話雖如此,他們其實也曾有過機會,活得像個凡人。陽烈別開克洛維斯的眼球,不忍直視昂天即將腐朽的軀體。326Please respect copyright.PENANAlBuZ3u17Gq
326Please respect copyright.PENANAnThV4a0icW
「放心,就快結束了。背叛地球,逃往外宇宙的那個女人……莎萊莎,她的後代、她的『傳承』,即將來到我們面前。呼朋引伴、成群結隊……所謂盟約,讓他們強壯,也讓他們軟弱……利用這點,我們終將取回幸福,迎接下一個千年。」326Please respect copyright.PENANABzabCjzo37
326Please respect copyright.PENANAVF1PZkqI4p
那份熱情沒有得到讚賞。昂天始終像個錄音機,重複著支離破碎的字句。326Please respect copyright.PENANAn2jUYbSMLY

火星核爆經過一日,救災行動全面展開。大樓不再燃燒,亡者的焦炭被風吹散,街道仍是一片死寂,能在內活動的只有機械裝甲,以及包著防護衣的搜索隊伍。稱不上戰役的這場事件,造成的損傷比預期來得輕微,但,很多東西數字無法概括。326Please respect copyright.PENANARcihkjmuwE

奧林帕斯峽谷地區,軍事設施改建的收容站內擠滿了人。艾嘉‧斐南迪見到醫護員就急忙攔下。堂堂船艦指揮官還是得低聲下氣,只求一張病床。途中,通訊器突然失靈,語言頓時不通,對方表情也更加難看。326Please respect copyright.PENANAJnoKgpsVLw
326Please respect copyright.PENANAk0eIiNkawX
「等等……電磁波害它故障了,我馬上重開……」326Please respect copyright.PENANA27cbKLESy4

「抱歉!女士,還有很多人在等,請找外交機關。」326Please respect copyright.PENANApa4gPBVsGv
326Please respect copyright.PENANA2KZGf8FLuf
拒絕的手勢無須翻譯。來自異星的女子又被晾在角落,那無助的背影,正好被四處奔波的組員們撞見。326Please respect copyright.PENANAKZmfyE8rx3
326Please respect copyright.PENANArBNO89ScR2
「艦長,用我的吧。」齊波尼亞上前關切,但艾嘉只是搖搖頭,沒有打算繼續嘗試。326Please respect copyright.PENANAUpjfBnTFG4
326Please respect copyright.PENANA7DIX91YFgx
「艦長!大家都在幫忙詢問……托姆金隊長大難不死,一定會有辦法。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAetANUAMPgq
326Please respect copyright.PENANARtbT1D1Kth
「問幾次答案都一樣。」眾人的激勵,並沒有傳到她心中,「透納也說了,輻射曝曬過量,最先進的除染儀器也沒辦法阻止器官衰竭,他們要把資源留給需要的人……留給……還有救的……」326Please respect copyright.PENANAG7yf4l82jU
326Please respect copyright.PENANADAGS9nIKu3
「我看是留給錢多的吧!」妲莉亞不甘心地打斷艾嘉,拒絕聽她口中的事實,「領航者幫火星這麼多,到緊要關頭就忘恩負義,太不公平!」326Please respect copyright.PENANAWHN9NTb8G6
326Please respect copyright.PENANAheETmKfdi4
「夠了。所有人注意,立刻歸艦,回到各自崗位。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAx1phr5wxsp
326Please respect copyright.PENANA3zbxqKqRWg
「艦長!可惡……」326Please respect copyright.PENANA92uz8fqNwZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANA0ph8bXe78Q
看到艾嘉眼角的淚光,妲莉亞也沒力氣抗議。晦暗的天空降下細雨,水珠從船艦起落架滴滴落下。領航者居住區,診療室外的走廊上,透納心力交瘁地跟船員解釋:托姆金永久失明,全身重度燒傷不能接觸空氣,必須留在密閉除菌艙中。最有幫助的,只剩止痛藥。326Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ5LJNJa5W
326Please respect copyright.PENANACIcHSmX74t

326Please respect copyright.PENANANdONQjSFiW
迫切討論沒完沒了,直到艙門開啟,戰士們才安靜下來,默默讓出一條路給艦長通過。326Please respect copyright.PENANAcB3vaNLKrm
326Please respect copyright.PENANALqdsXefpuw
「各位,讓我們獨處一下。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAKjMJrPtouf
326Please respect copyright.PENANAEXbGlTEcfw
艾嘉‧斐南迪始終維持鎮定表情。透納跟在散去的眾人後面,離開之前提醒道:「他可能聽不見妳……要有準備。」326Please respect copyright.PENANA01Rpkbu9BQ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAkY9PC0BLkb
「嗯。」326Please respect copyright.PENANA2VN8FmjUHI
326Please respect copyright.PENANAQTHjIYBVll
艙門關閉,外圍走廊被哀悽壟罩。齊波尼亞忿忿不平地捶著牆,無法理解艦長的反應。326Please respect copyright.PENANALEQaU0zADW

「哪有這種事!最後一眼看不到……連一句再見都沒辦法說……她還……」326Please respect copyright.PENANATVfRiUGhK8

326Please respect copyright.PENANAFpy1gYHMYg
避開目光、隔著一道牆,艾嘉終於能卸下職責。那個瞬間,她的雙腳忽然支撐不住自己的重量,只能跪在治療艙前,快要喘不過氣來。326Please respect copyright.PENANAYfZzwlAJXT
326Please respect copyright.PENANAPC2If2ZANq
「為什麼?托姆金‧維拉……為什麼……我會慶幸你看不到我,為什麼我會希望你聽不到我……」326Please respect copyright.PENANAaFIDbOcG2P

與其這樣藕斷絲連,不如當場天人永隔。女艦長故作堅強的心,早就被那場核爆燒成灰燼。326Please respect copyright.PENANAg4epl6BPmp

規律響起的儀器聲,是步步逼近的死神,也是他的解脫。兩日過後,努那守望隊長托姆金‧維拉不敵病魔,沒有留下任何遺言。

偵查艦隊抵達地球外圍軌道,開始執行情蒐任務。薩邁爾元帥確認進度之後離開艦橋,來到底層甲板,看到卡涅特‧烏霸雙手抱胸,面對觀景窗。遠方,就是萬惡所在的靛藍星體。326Please respect copyright.PENANAdpn38cw8Yq

雪星劍客聽聞另一側艙門開啟,識相地把空間留給雇主。茵坦向擦身而過的傭兵敬禮,飄到年輕元帥身旁,對這奇妙的因緣感慨道:「真不敢相信,戰團駕駛有一半都是努那人。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAPuXNE3t1jZ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAc5ssEttZzm

326Please respect copyright.PENANAUr14CQEHeN
「也許,我們都受影響,不知不覺變了。」茵坦故意放開抓欄,輕輕撞上元帥。薩邁爾也試著接納,與女士兵互相依偎。326Please respect copyright.PENANAGWm98YEcOJ
326Please respect copyright.PENANACEuqIZmXWI
「我不討厭這種改變,可是,我也很害怕……怕這些感情的本質,可能是幻覺,可能是阻礙……戰場上,應該無法容許幸福存在才對。」326Please respect copyright.PENANAR3zmmpG7qX

少年點了點頭,不敢四處張望,在床邊找了個位子。房內氣氛既熟悉又陌生,久違的獨處,對重塑記憶的他來說像是第一次,格外令人緊張。326Please respect copyright.PENANACmksn6C6G6

領航者號格納庫內,燈光一盞一盞關閉。魯卡跟技師們道別,自願留下來收尾。當她彎腰走過一架巨大飛行器的翼展,佈滿纜線的納沃D型映入了眼簾。326Please respect copyright.PENANAJiaBgzSFii
