「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？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7U2EGi4Pl
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ug7ragkS9
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？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SZ0i8Ci0h
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuVzql0axn
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y0j3tgfN6
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYQtkn4szN
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVlsHnsoXz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmoaRx0tt6
「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⸺」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQgcyTd3Vd
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYDiu6wn0k
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqynpBUcCse
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNERz6dlyxe
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqfO7j0vzk
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0uGxvrykV
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwaCqMJPYl
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuoRJ4hZTr
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSiOiaQiDy
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOBztOIik8
「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……」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVZi3GCP2T
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM4QFSuWNP
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhQj0PsBuE
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxpTMhXZ0O
「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」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4FcnM09PL
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NUDAFZnUS
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWKVuCKIur
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r2xdEzvxY
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuwlP30BFW
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXNIzIaLTq
「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？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SMXB2LAJv
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5PxMqHjHo
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxkgnASS87
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWl2w5mycB
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlOvoOd1hX

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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwXPQzX8Kx
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan7gHR79BK
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH304AULa1
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtOwGDi0f3
「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2WuM2nM1O
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx67insMPE0
「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？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgKZr5ReqZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbXyKv4m8o
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSG4NRM2NSZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwfpKdU1nw
「哼，那把邪門歪『刀』居然沒有被守衛發現。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTUJE1xbrZ
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGpK5enPTy
「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……」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQapcsqpCH
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL6R9cR6c2
「在我手上比較有用啦。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRvYoeFX1z

「你空手就夠了啦！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnafjwvxMmy

兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplH4eWRYE0
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEE6xnOXCi
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkkYLonCFB
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb86Gy2zJdd
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb4s1skwHE
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZUasU2n4z
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvsMs5pTa6
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PWyBnpbxy
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLpo3F8aTz
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGUaIiglYv
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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlc0jp0Ke3
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcgnzb2IyA
「『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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ugn6797UV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWkx6rNOmr
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfjgn0kvZk
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILBqXFTfAw
「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？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiJxgFN5iY
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO6YFtZKxH
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBzThh2adu
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvcf6YvDRI
「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……」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVnTjxM7jC
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nA2zATgmI
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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BNtGiWvI7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat8pAc1JZH
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T1I106fUl
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudK16hClJE
「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g7Ld62bf7
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHajbQre5Gv
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUMDpwsVZV
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XX1ze3EP3
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lASWWEpT4
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYCKpUwqT0
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQPhkBN8Dj
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8YWxgHPQx
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XsOxy2flt
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK3Enez1X0
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！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGUmvmgTnI
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHRP18jSCB
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQspzKDDd1
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVoHll1DXz
「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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjjzGbRJDU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJu4mS8opK
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeemTJFFKUb
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54mfe2Wopy
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzrNtL1Bk5
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApwA7oaOPm
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13Rx0z1hdq
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT86hzhjeh
「開始預習吧，飛輪球賽的規則！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIx4tEqtTQU
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDissH5SSyV
齊波與烏霸起身，站在大圓兩端對望。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqIXnM4oDd
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREEE1xiUd3
「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⸺」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayeL6z7qC4
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrROhIHenk8
「講重點，L2。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdNGUcaJia

「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3oVw9uiut
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PE5Cry39i
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyzCNBZiqK
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUyQwPF1OU
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVUptgvjqk
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk5QHDYOhL
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG69Kov9bm
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5VTCpo8IA
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweIzahUfzB
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52EnijDGxe
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpZNsQWYBB
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJcpsW5BAB
「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！」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ5QapU935
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87MrlW68e9
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgFmhzUKbc
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1PSsSNRGs
「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。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODpEVzINIl
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbofQIyZTM
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnxOKWQTnl
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBVbmQJddt
「知道啦……」銀髮青年雙手抱胸，眼神少了一點傲氣。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcxKk7Na9L
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzovvWbiQC
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5i51qJ5wi

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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC0qUBCHq4

茵坦經過附近，停下腳步看了一會兒，默默地返回居住區。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvHxyoX23J
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUlQNGNse0
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。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmgndX8oHy
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWJiLnyx2C
「啊。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvVb8p8ihm

「啊……抱歉。」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNKLPh0jDJ

久違的招呼。自然人少女趕緊把包裹藏到身後。414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jDP0wtLh8
414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRCBsd3A75
「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？」414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwaqFezN8o

414Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGhvG16hO3
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。
