木衛四「卡利斯托」表面，新月軍的旗幟在真空中飄揚。帝國統一太陽系前，人類就已經在此建立殖民地，建築設備作為政要核心稍嫌老舊。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4Dbbi9BFR

年輕元帥薩邁爾裸著身體，走進寢宮浴室。跟火星官邸比起來，這裡少了碧麗堂皇的裝飾，真空排水孔也吸力不足，在皮膚上殘留許多濕氣。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWl3e8BMpX
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKBvLRzW7G
「希望母親會習慣……」薩邁爾走出淋浴間，順手拿起管家遞上的毛巾。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTegcu6h8n
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBFiztFOj9
所謂管家，是兩顆機械盒子。一個幫主人拿舊衣服去殺菌；一個幫他注射抗無重力藥物。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhnK8wz2er

「代辦事項，總共：五百八十三件。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJFwPKKi27
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUuHudModa
「呼……」正值事業頂峰的領袖用髮夾固定劉海，一個彈指啟動辦公桌投影裝置，「最急迫的事件？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiL74f7BLx
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TmLU4Bvr6
「火星首都『阿爾西亞』暴動尚未解除，抗議民眾要求立刻停戰⸺調查結果顯示，背後有貴族帳戶贊助。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw8IjjENzc
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36BRnZubI5

343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvKzCNQ52w
「小行星帶礦場公會威脅罷工，要求把軍事核心轉回火星圈。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQmsdqaYl3
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfa20ji4U3
「唉，每個人都不想讓打到家裡……我們攻下木星，清出外環航道，生意更好做了才對。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzk5Qd8uf4
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXcvAX5h42
薩邁爾手捏眉心，戰火只會燒出無限問題，「BB，先處理民生事件。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHlSXTdToD
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pTX0ZOnPg
「篩選結果：九十八件⸺轉運站清查毒品交易路線，數量最多的是OBU分派組織，來自海王星……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryQWn1662Z
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYFVEDodsv
民間事務也是各種難題，但薩邁爾處理起來快樂多了。不知不覺，投影窗已經顯示夜晚景色。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGyFQaa7mz
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXN9VMEVgN
「真正的和平……到底是什麼樣子……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHHyM1zDGe

「大人，艾莉雅女士到達寢宮。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7YNkGsEb6
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvv4PAw6PK
「今天就到此為止。」把電子文書和那些停戰就能解決的事放回桌上，薩邁爾看了一眼家族相片。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXI6zApnI8
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE674FxwcH
年幼的他首次與父親爾哈特合影，表情好不快樂。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fZDCtH7IC
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspvDRZJQiL
「BB……你不會背叛人類吧？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7maLA9Da0h
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfj6EEjRP6
「『背叛』屬於進階情感定義，超過運算限制，無法執行。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo048RpweZU
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9OeKBeQXF
「那就好……」薩邁爾永遠無法忘記。電子腦德爾芬無情虐殺父親的軍隊，在那種恐懼壟罩下，大義責任都不再重要，只剩下醜惡的人性。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtmBnwhuSw
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzE9Y7DQHs
儘管如此，現在他還是得依賴人工智慧處理公務。新月元帥嘆了口氣，在通往親族宅邸的長廊上沉思。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA9YLWPWu4
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP9EaVZ1uY
「哥，你來了！」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig1bUs54nV

「桑德斯，好久不見！」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZAalRV3FA
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XtXNzojJ2
紫金地毯的會客廳中，軍裝筆挺的青年站穩腳步，在他身後，一位全黑裝束的女子默默看著牆上的肖像畫⸺已故大元帥：爾哈特。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW7H1uJFfV
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cnCM9UGWA
「母親大人……您是否安好？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcYckBYF33

「安好？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1N0mVH7xt
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lO8RrXirR
艾莉雅女士伸手壓著帽子，原本要遮住寡婦面容的黑色流蘇，因為低重力四處亂飄，讓她更加不悅。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefRejCbCoE
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs02CR787eO
「我們生於月面，一心嚮往地球樂土，現在呢？退居火星，然後又退居木星……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm00uXNWhcT
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqfJ1Rzpjb
「這裡相對安全，媽媽，」薩邁爾輕輕取下圓帽。K62事故之後，母親的眼神就失去光彩，但元帥沒有忘記她過去的溫柔，「土星也快入手了。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJfLFpiHLd
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMeLvxhnJz
「一直往外跑，什麼時候要進攻地球？」曾經溫柔的女子，口吻卻充滿怨恨，「不要忘記你父親的遺志……糾舉天地衛，把披著祖父外皮的傢伙處以極刑。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbf2Y7jtrc
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyK6PqkX4g
「可是……人民需要時間安定。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK5JNz4pQh
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULtpNRMS8L
「如果你要安定，薩邁爾，我就讓你弟桑德斯去戰場立功。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx6bezDscD
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW1IBrc4If
軍裝青年挺起胸膛，年輕眼神滿是憧憬。父親死去時，他還在肚子裡，從未體驗戰場的殘酷。薩邁爾找了個理由，想要保護懵懂的弟弟。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnvUxiwiut
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBdhtDMG0Z
「要不是普勞德‧源隆擅自帶兵去K62，現在就有足夠軍力展開攻擊了……桑德斯先學會處理國政，未來也有機會立功。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdpRR0sOB5
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYofZp14frs
「既然如此，你怎麼沒有把源隆家族抄了，還讓他們治理火星？」艾莉雅的視線毫無感情。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl3yNsFt0C
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY400jMZPGJ
「看來，你沒有遺傳到爾哈特的果決。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdspAuhKsMz

「可是，父親他……」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLCJM9Pqbp
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlDjET9FYJ
他當時還打算犧牲我們，吸引人民支持。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbLMGkPU8O
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ae1JFFaiN
「他……的管理制度，大多沿用舊帝國，」薩邁爾忍住嘴巴，重新編織話語，「需要時間修正，才能獲得貴族以外的人民支持。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPapw5SUhKT
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HkrlZVXoW
「恐怕沒時間給你修正了……老君鈦仙在外面，他有一個重要情資，能讓我們得到力量⸺我們不僅要收復帝國，還要防範K62威脅……去跟他談談。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VZORIPZLz
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3hY3ohgbZ
「鈦仙……我知道了，好好休息吧⸺桑德斯，這裡就給你保護了。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCujneMzoO

「哥……是！元帥大人！」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRZzBpfk8G
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJNbj25SZ9
薩邁爾帶著沉重寄託飄出會客廳，用大門關閉的聲響提振精神，面對走廊末端的矮小老人。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVxYpw7lsV
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2tIYI4Pne
白鬍白眉、頭戴高帽，神秘的天月宰相穩穩地站著，彷彿腳底有個吸盤。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h0YiQGjn8
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptU7s9J1VL
「血緣，真是惱人的羈絆啊……元帥？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLdbTel5mS
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDASVkgZxpQ
「有話快說，鈦仙。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQauWKqkByF
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbMeSaTTse
「呵呵，真心急……你可知道，金星有個電子腦，名叫『原初智』⸺帝國對外號稱它已經被摧毀，想必別有用心。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLwKCiGnVh
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7fEqzS0A8
「我憑什麼相信你？當初同為天月衛，你卻站在父親敵人那一邊。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZDy387DXM
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkYpwM7r5n
「別這樣非黑即白呀……我情報給了，你可以去，也可以不去？」老人順順鬍鬚，瞇起一隻眼睛，「就當作，老君看上你的能力。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbV2vYl547
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OZT46hAcC
「寄生在有力量的那一方，就是長壽的秘訣？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLX99WSB40
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs1DTliWh5
「沒錯！等到絕對力量出現，我就能壽終正寢囉。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRByvv6N3gJ
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mv1Yxa77W
鈦仙飄向宮外接駁船，尖酸話語不斷在元帥腦中打轉。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQDQGip4q6
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6sKtPl7So
「你要親手借用電子腦之力，還是要把重責大任丟給血親呢？」 343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ821jj7hb28
「嘖！」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SUlGk6NjD
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKfzLXuU3C
月神艦阿那吠耀格納庫中，薩邁爾重重捶了欄桿一拳。他痛恨自己想不出萬全方案，只能冒險前往金星一探究竟。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFYvDIiYBo
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBre8divNhH
「元帥大人！」複製人士官⸺茵坦的聲音從後傳來，「您也來視察新機體？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuM0z4KClR
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSvmZN1JHh
「嗯……是啊，『高蓮茲』的狀態如何？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4WdCWds6P

343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6f9Xeo3ha
黃綠相間的嶄新機兵，設計不同於其他世代。頭部單眼閃著紫光，雙肩推進翼能讓機身靈活運動，最特別的是懸浮在四周的圓筒形子機。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQiZ7Jjv4U
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSOElRoCm4
「這樣好嗎？把新銳機體給我這個複製人……」茵坦飄出駕駛艙，害羞地牽著領袖的手落到地板。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJqLTzFSw0
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgM1DcHUrR
「變革，不能只在法條上看到，複製人等同道具的刻板印象，就靠妳來翻轉。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7wq6RpK32
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZYeYV3JAf
薩邁爾有點訝異，跟沒有血緣的對象談話，讓他無拘無束。343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ECnOB3gkO
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPWagZj7j2
「妳就是三位體戰團（TriBander）系列的後衛⸺等前鋒、中鋒機體正式完成，我們就能並肩作戰，證明不管出身為何，都能受到重用。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdxsqZEDcU
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBT1BBXffD
「現在只有送來您的中鋒機體專用武裝，前鋒駕駛員也還沒選定，到金星之前是否來得及呢？」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNFBFJv65d
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX43ZbZUZ5
「我也希望能有充裕時間……」薩邁爾想到弟弟桑德斯，不禁皺起眉頭，「金星攻略充滿不確定因素，還得仰賴妳的直覺。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWccVRML0x
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZGwBlwSx6
「遵命。」茵坦想起莎拉‧赫克托。她全心祝福自己的表情，讓人感到內疚，「我絕不會辜負眾望。」343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MBc8JOWhR

大量新月船艦排成長龍，依序進入內環航道，準備調查原初智的力量。等在前方的是陷阱，還是希望？
