「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？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccwx8CF3Tj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0p2LISq3p
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？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJM7zXBB5B
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz4Pnv4XhH
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ2PjlhaTY
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X1ifUI3Xv
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq8iEpq6U4
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtUJ56LxtH
「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⸺」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jIG6jryT2
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgedVnKinE
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyMbrTfiQ3
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nI1JzBsy5
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsCsPAvM9K
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWCwA43EM0
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIupsfu5L8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjIxbK4GVT
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWSymsFFOM
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2N7jWScmo
「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……」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6spROawUeb
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JjdSjaQGN
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc2X1tt20e
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kiHZAzLjU
「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」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlLapuXUiP
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05AUGYuLuI
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYqjzAvoQQ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQtbXSuMuK
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2fvbVbpQj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxvtGYcyTy
「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？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKnXvirHGX
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUjAyji10q
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN6BNIHow5
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF7kDxowrU
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb9wC8ZpVG

永遠沒意外，我們的圓頂。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HuXfs0ZQa

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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8laBPCImYU
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXen8GfSXp
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffUEyEiAPh
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty77tSJZxm
「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3onoFKqtdo
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnTBKhA3CJ
「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？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdsLPkp58Q
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h6vozSJuj
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWUZoSk9x3
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8i4YTewNB
「哼，那把邪門歪『刀』居然沒有被守衛發現。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxX1pLETNG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D6AqWXSDk
「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……」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZfoxwlhE3

兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYHIWIR99D
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7m72VuVHT
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygbmYwPPJg
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7M7aa7nWe
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKJpmJyy1i
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpP8i4j2Qj
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51SsFICWmE
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4QYmF0zxm
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9YjPfLBnJ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57yAiEuHDY
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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EJz5ksxlG
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48sopLWUbC
「『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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMQy41oEUx
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60jNFUMGBe
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWDYqMgQtj
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVOK2omG24
「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？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2NdjdGU2j
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSQ7sh5Clj
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrCp4JApGY
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzRdVYLV3e
「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……」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypVsDmK8Nh
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW9ZyS4kjx
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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgsgH3HIG8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmfTvfPxp9
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEL9GqaY8F
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmVrW8hTdB
「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MtoSJv6Mn
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmSKYETRGn
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj7SM1xseb
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbrqsmA6xH
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7dl3qQTcO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw7SStP7R7
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcZwkLqLcT
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdg1fC5Qt6
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQSzFGqsvZ
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCTEL8HLsZ
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！」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1qZApaPXn
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBVLxyPCxJ
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY63ZFwHc8
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R9ONawYE8
「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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHGeSSVPKn
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpO1nZ27cD
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hwLneesDn
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ANHX1X8mw
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTc20cGl4S
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6nNrnw6Ay
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9agTXn5JS
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjWu0Xu5p2
「開始預習吧，飛輪球賽的規則！」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQHrkiVrTR
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2eiAOcRHN
齊波與烏霸起身，站在大圓兩端對望。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFMHNUgwu6
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33EJkRT8Mr
「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⸺」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P5LhcA8ze
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPnlJ48UvO
「講重點，L2。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx42XjZA5yV
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDskanRxUx
「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmLHMoieZK
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSoKTv5lqI
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vLoxBDSa2
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTqDdSeXcY
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN8kLkT1CI
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4TCsoX2dh
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe9R90o4tO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpR3DZiEzU
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGWs4TwgFO
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGTYOZIB5j
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL34eeyI2Oe
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vDtmGxyIy
「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！」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyOJLExdqz
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavH2KSxUZw
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ly2H4Zzs0
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvvdDbLfO2
「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。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdSbnZBpCc
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jUusydum8
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Qc5DPppV
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvHCIr2kYf
「知道啦……」銀髮青年雙手抱胸，眼神少了一點傲氣。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLVYYGJTVB
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfVET6UZJX
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVAKmPIMwv

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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHLwnTKrmZ

茵坦經過附近，停下腳步看了一會兒，默默地返回居住區。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVslOmSwpCp
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CrXTpybnw
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。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AaCysVEsL
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGnsWVbKr0
「啊。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLaAoSlWof
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dFboxWAP5
「啊……抱歉。」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZxp47U0HA

久違的招呼。自然人少女趕緊把包裹藏到身後。328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcuFaTW6fC
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6TMdEqkGB
「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？」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQBQJnUwm6
328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y09DhAIP2
「呃？嗯……他寄了好多補品，我都叫他幫自己買……」328Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3B4YM5pJS

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。
