「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？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEz2kkxEAs
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17O9ceK31F
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？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gw1t3fGjH
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLu6n4RHLS
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD52yC9vAW0
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUZZUOraRK
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTNOXsuQEu
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlg5TPjZ9s
「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⸺」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ4yxIbzmp
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpB2mLhvKy
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCihkBsMXc3
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNBGYpqlsW
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc0WPNZxRV
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigQj8KMCZW
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxaPjdTz8T
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Tw9REUZI
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tp23xMt3K
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa3k2tvwMz
「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……」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTViToFqSD
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0l1hlN9o2
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IS1LtSFAs
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSERo8LKt6
「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」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTt0eGQu7t
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RjpdBKI0s
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Xk7lKno02
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn6zg0pdL9
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXJUy6L8xs
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLioVZqLETQ
「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？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWio4OKYwX
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6nEbfydbT
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16CDJBaPlZ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbdd28dCcZ
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa1J7nItH4

今天很快樂，明天也安心；321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM0tlFgbUu
永遠沒意外，我們的圓頂。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFByR37j22
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4csrDHkxq
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpFDOrQycR
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9uBeCmqoq
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KPzCIENvT
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H2UAAdj0S
「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7RBdbk8tM
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicmWtII9ZA
「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？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEM6e7fr1t
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIVTQR30qR
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQi9Ujmmeu
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68A9TayqoS
「哼，那把邪門歪『刀』居然沒有被守衛發現。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrtkTLAWfd
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUE83WiAU1
「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……」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M1hYnwFy3
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RdJ5C1ld0
「在我手上比較有用啦。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO1yWjg5Jr

「你空手就夠了啦！」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N97rub8Mc
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFglzofwip
兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxK0KA12XbH
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCy5Q5rdgf
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYj8Ve9rzJ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxzKS1D9zP
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3vbQUu5He
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1MbMvATOg
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ614fw9g62A
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfub2FodX5F
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5ZulZ2qa6
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ792QwRDb0S
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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUGFyHZjqQ
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarmumwaWmf
「『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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ699RkFYXWK
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85pyfUWOty
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pCwoGKHvD
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJAXuyxkOq
「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？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozniEePzoj
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n4U3jUJA1
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0CRLrtjC3
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpVO2c7RXt
「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……」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTb6CZahYi
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqsA2VQeEd
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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnRjUcovb3
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFAj9hzQ04
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcpbBMgEvj
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6U5lYY6au
「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhy3DuRG0J
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKwJpbt4QJ
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVH18W3VEp
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEJvvFUuxR
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCAb0Ti9Rr
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7QaOqqzYU
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZwZv6EDhK
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1qkZppgv8
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7mujhhNCV
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmkoCGMfpT
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！」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28IKWVhTh5
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa0PpjCbSw
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLSiHgQ75a
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjZiD0hvIi
「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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ioenn5Ox8
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uegZzxrni
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vWya6ZSUi
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdHR6J6La8
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tdkLssl99
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetbFKdVVey
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3wi7URpbp
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RhV8lAuYp
「開始預習吧，飛輪球賽的規則！」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQln2e9Pnh
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdblNjlV5Xd
齊波與烏霸起身，站在大圓兩端對望。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHOo1UUfUX
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEwv9DKtqp
「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⸺」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFyvoupYWE
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyradWsggg
「講重點，L2。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxhevPADPU
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUJjkcEPo2
「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jima5E7JE
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDIT86F3Y2
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW7okIbStC
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DQmrA8giQ
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPE8oD8uad
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaMo9jFzPE
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cktOvf7KH
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQzr5yKzOV
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeKR4xCRJ5
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlSuMSkLjj
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbftc8Gu4q
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbEf0piukW
「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！」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObddl3tVeS
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SDkfj4lm6
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfo4HWy4Ds
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4gYgh9bln
「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。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQMaLqwCFC
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9I3S3zjbd
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHcqhYst4w
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjgUHA6ggm
「知道啦……」銀髮青年雙手抱胸，眼神少了一點傲氣。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziXlNvdDYd
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQySgiiY3c
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtawgjAj3mh
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpZTQYJXm2
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UXO6sVZA7
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy4c1SlBi8
茵坦經過附近，停下腳步看了一會兒，默默地返回居住區。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKztPEaHDY
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbakgcpQt1
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。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Gwjbc7hv
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ooCBtDHE
「啊。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJTM6mshrO
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUO2QNzBNL
「啊……抱歉。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLNycQx19B
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgXskooKt9
久違的招呼。自然人少女趕緊把包裹藏到身後。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxytuXqHftj
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqS87oTg4K
「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？」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0mwfuMZfP
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgz4khbpHL
「呃？嗯……他寄了好多補品，我都叫他幫自己買……」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTrxPHhKO8
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV1LXv0zZZ
「妳有很好的家人呢……那個，我被分到駕駛員，可是……」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oG47jJ8oe
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJilDZAz5AQ
茵坦欲言又止，溫柔的同梯率先開口。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TLKZfoi5z
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTDmqLOV6m
「是呀！我要跟茵坦看齊，快點晉升，讓爸爸開心才行。」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5kdt7G4rP
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmVi4a5mtb
「莎拉……」321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyE1UVEwmD
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR1DucWlZO
身分不同，她們還是可以同舟共濟。互道晚安，茵坦帶著溫暖入睡，揣摩擁有妹妹的心情。321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2Yim3ovMd
321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L6dmPSnWi
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。
