「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？」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNhrivTy7w
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaDqoTz5Ca
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？」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT9jPMSPsT
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm3Y4QRmdh
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgSVYD6u7R
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuY9VdGi24
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UyFa4XSdv
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4C5wfECPG
「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⸺」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsvkacG93U
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBaBEOnyGa
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7QHifNahY
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrMfk1XwWJ
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvPZSQ3cQZ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV3DTzEpXn
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOwAk29CJK
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTGqAayS86
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z1Miy210J
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBfjflRiCx
「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……」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C4ggIIyjs
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMgZH6hJqL
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLHPOy0LZA
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoW0NvSi8g
「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」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hT2IobKwE
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU33GzYJ6aA
「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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWNPLMIJss
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWmVoT1pr4
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97hMJtNl2R
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SE8MWfQR3
「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？」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe2XI1iH7O
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQPQrpiTGh
「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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHxw4bjNIZ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ku91wkn19
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kd0OCcfhl

今天很快樂，明天也安心；273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4CQxvkqxc
永遠沒意外，我們的圓頂。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfjx8oAhqc
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEALuCO7Vh
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtEv3TFgsB
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrJxNnYoOv
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28lIDK3g45
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnFas3SLlp
「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxcM5WTENo
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDPJxp03YQ
「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？」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewy6qAz5EK
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrImANwGkCM
「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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOhAUJfK5g
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2uRTnLVm6
「哼，那把邪門歪『刀』居然沒有被守衛發現。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnmxEHytCt
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXL8uMljFj
「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……」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3anajIl4F1
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0kn52Q1cm
「在我手上比較有用啦。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8eOZWXEUP

兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnuYXGHv8C
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLtRrWrdNt
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExQtXbEQrj
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkXSxndLB8
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv2yWcYUII
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wvSjHYEkn
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJn6yDEdxg
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HD9LS6QZd
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgpJbJQSyO
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskASqDCQw0
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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fKd3CFVRz
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLpwqqt6dK
「『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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRvvT9gU14
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweEAnhTaVE
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1VW6g77QC
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauG5TXCtTw
「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？」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuPlNqbRrZ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cmfqrh5dK
「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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16TXrqQjUd
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng0e2EEJfk
「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……」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMkz1rvh9k
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvAEkcpdbt
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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCsmBtN7fg
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOsY93SfOh
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfSD3UzR7T
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshARAhQrUe
「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSz9Qx5aan
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLuN0sFOTA
「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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZoLN7zhsr
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnnDjYXvMC
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8IeXhkLpu
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WvMyqO2aV
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpT3SFrwWQ
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyglRopRaL
「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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1avzPgi3Yl
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKl0gBXNCO
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！」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyoUZXZmZe
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0tfNznUrZ
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpAo236tRY
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9vHKtxBpO
「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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Qe87hcLC
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb3DImKkZe
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUbgCvhi1Z
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVx67BLlLI
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDhWcemTBW
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToD8lHcdpw
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ521q15xNAn
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEL8AoY9sLX
「開始預習吧，飛輪球賽的規則！」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWYIpYHoaS
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlGSoaZTdK
齊波與烏霸起身，站在大圓兩端對望。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aZvv6iAOW
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KqUsy48cY
「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⸺」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eSj5CpcuO
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItXgIvlB2p
「講重點，L2。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMTsAMh3gj
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiXTtV9X0f
「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkYNi8obtw
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ49a1tZ7i
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyhPoeN3dS
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGFCjykOx4
「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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe7qz1xnz4
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwoDZJrxoW
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8ndySgl65
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZtkfwcPJ2
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kGA2PV0wN
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuMnPovibe
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTbZMaYDze
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsw9B4IB2n
「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！」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4yzOkjhyt
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91kwigdxxN
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfpp5zSjYz
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG7ZyEDQ9D
「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。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG1Fg62Aq9
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6yqhSXlpu
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSxia7rvfN
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EkXDMxkPD
「知道啦……」銀髮青年雙手抱胸，眼神少了一點傲氣。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vxs8a79y9
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAWYTM8RrJ
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkgQunCeT3

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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUJ1dG3Aoc

茵坦經過附近，停下腳步看了一會兒，默默地返回居住區。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaZMhJaZyH
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZcsRGVJJG
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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvaqVdonSY
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPLSFr1jPd
「啊。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEthfu5brS
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs4cmBxkXf
「啊……抱歉。」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy5otmles8
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhy7Rlv6Ng
久違的招呼。自然人少女趕緊把包裹藏到身後。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiGcjVSULY
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87wd1spgYg
「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？」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXAesjwHAf
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNHeu2VznA
「呃？嗯……他寄了好多補品，我都叫他幫自己買……」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfQedhyzXh

「莎拉……」273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF6Yjlnwio

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。273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRNxaDVhNl
273Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQAYSLc3si
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。
