「歡迎收看火星新聞網,為您帶來太陽系最新消息……」275Please respect copyright.PENANAHPaJEdDnZE
275Please respect copyright.PENANAOrLcGrlSWB
播報員的伶俐口齒傳遍小型艦橋。身穿新式軍服的兵員各司其職,不時瞄向觀景窗外的母星。蔚藍中帶著些許腥紅的她,已經不再那麼令人嚮往。275Please respect copyright.PENANAkuSw5JZ6tq
275Please respect copyright.PENANAFpEOcaw5Jv
「……聯合軍與昂天帝國的爭端,在前所未見的大滅絕、強迫終戰的情況下,已經過了十個月。信望點數崩盤、基因病毒汙染等等災難,使人類文明倒退一大截。不幸中的大幸是,因糧食供應源轉移,火星尚能擔綱全星系的經濟重鎮。產業重組與建設推動,得仰賴政府的強制執行能力。布麗姬特總統靠著鐵腕策略排除萬難,卻也難免招來部份人民不滿,其中一項最常被質疑的,就屬『移民保護協約』……」275Please respect copyright.PENANA7FtGFGpwOL
275Please respect copyright.PENANASskUiuEqYy
「報告!目標進入雷達範圍!」275Please respect copyright.PENANAs1wydrK4Ir
275Please respect copyright.PENANAGZuTyaY4H6
「唔嗯?二級戰備!」艦長被組員叫醒,趕緊拉直椅背、切換廣播,戴上頭盔發號施令。宇宙空間中,十幾艘火星政府護衛艇排成圓陣,開始警備任務。如此陣仗,都是為了避免努那運輸船遭逢意外。275Please respect copyright.PENANAaGMTpvsVdu
275Please respect copyright.PENANA8wCeprZqTX
「『拉薩路號』識別ID確認!主動式掃描完成,附近沒有可疑活動。」觀測員執行標準程序後,小聲對旁邊的同僚說:「記者都在拍,感覺這樣有點……浪費公帑?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAiZX1gFJPqS
275Please respect copyright.PENANAELGfeL0wi5
「禁止閒聊!你各位的畢業證書都還給奧林帕斯了?」艦長不耐煩地指點新兵,老生常談道。275Please respect copyright.PENANAm2ncnqNDFG
275Please respect copyright.PENANAER8JJxntlJ
「故意搞大動作,激進份子才不敢亂來啊。現在,只剩努那還持有高性能AI,也只剩他們能研發疫苗。不管民間怎麼反對,政府都要弄好邦交……」275Please respect copyright.PENANAUb3eYaAuyy
275Please respect copyright.PENANA9qoWvqLSBS
「報告!目標即將脫離協防宙域,轉進降落軌道。」275Please respect copyright.PENANATfkHjhJ62A
275Please respect copyright.PENANATy6DGdkcJL
萬眾矚目下,運輸船緩緩通過疆界,閃著代表感謝的燈號,駛向藍紅暈染的星球。275Please respect copyright.PENANAJULBEIE508
275Please respect copyright.PENANADP6lSTUGda
地表,南極莊園的改建區塊內,守在停機坪的人們也能看見那道光輝。275Please respect copyright.PENANAb0XA3NfMnE
275Please respect copyright.PENANAebPou7bIK6
「艾嘉!他們來了!」275Please respect copyright.PENANAyd3iO0ewWJ
275Please respect copyright.PENANA22K4kVR6eF
前任船醫透納難掩興奮。前艦長則是緊握望遠鏡,嘴唇微微顫抖。275Please respect copyright.PENANALQdMQAlLt8
275Please respect copyright.PENANAUvzTXMmo6X
「真的來了,第一批長距離移民……準備好體能評估與治療設備,同胞們適應低重力環境,不曉得會有什麼後遺症……」275Please respect copyright.PENANAIGDyMNx9fi
275Please respect copyright.PENANA5l2kqHsq8h
反覆交代,只為排解緊張。艾嘉‧斐南迪看向營區裡自己的房間,育嬰室的花俏壁紙透露出溫暖色澤。那場激戰過後,少年把元星地基的控制碼交給領航者號,讓留下來的隊員重建生活機能。托他的福,地球上首位努那嬰兒,也順利誕生了。275Please respect copyright.PENANAly1ri6gMf3
275Please respect copyright.PENANAmLGoLfQ1ix
背負數十億生命的孩子,未來究竟會變成什麼樣貌?身為母親的女子感到惶恐,呼吸漸漸急促。275Please respect copyright.PENANAB3TFGQyuSh
275Please respect copyright.PENANAWADhFm8Tkk
「妳做的,都是為了努那,別懷疑……」透納看著她,安撫道:「我們還活著,就能記取教訓,導正一切。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAIX13DGSUEd
275Please respect copyright.PENANAB3G3RDyr1x
艾嘉點點頭,鼓起勇氣,仰望微暗的天空。住在彼端的人類是敵是友,還得看她們往後的作為。275Please respect copyright.PENANAPXziSa2QjS
275Please respect copyright.PENANA1KnRcVwBXc
從內環到外環,太陽系遠比努那來得龐大。275Please respect copyright.PENANA5tdIuvV42p
275Please respect copyright.PENANAvK7J2s2vUF
戰爭結束後,薩邁爾的遺體很快就被送回木衛四寢宮。就算舉辦了盛大葬禮,他的慷慨與遠見,似乎也沒有留在民眾心中太久。275Please respect copyright.PENANAefaVuZWvGx
275Please respect copyright.PENANASHGQlKoJlB
瓦迪馬家族的末子桑德斯依照兄長遺囑,將新月軍閥解散,卻受有心人士慫恿,建立木星圈首長國,另起爐灶。帝統的餘火在卡利斯托尚未熄滅,與外環居民的領土衝突可想而知。275Please respect copyright.PENANAmjknlxeEzi
275Please respect copyright.PENANA9eby9MpwWM
目前,諸國還能維持表面的和平,要歸功於射程廣泛的金星光子炮,以及握有其使用權,由馬卡錫塔率領的中立監督組織「蜂后」。此為實質上的OBU武裝強化,補完了勢力平衡的一腳,達到抑止效用。275Please respect copyright.PENANAAyrE2UA5F8
275Please respect copyright.PENANAY8P2iTHdhs
海王星太空站,現在是外系航道的交通樞紐,因而累積不少財富。札廣留下的造紙技術已經普及,街區中貼滿「賽蓮鯨巡迴演唱 ft. AI歌手朵魅」的鮮豔海報,跟低俗的塗鴉形成一種和協的紊亂。275Please respect copyright.PENANANfpw4oSHPX
275Please respect copyright.PENANAYejuKe3Cjx
今日,底層文化的推手們多數聚集在星際碼頭,只為一睹商會頭領「狼刃」幫某位貴賓送行。275Please respect copyright.PENANATnfr9fONoZ
275Please respect copyright.PENANA7gM3ISEcFq
「保重啊,茵坦。」面具底下是烏霸的聲音。275Please respect copyright.PENANAq9xU68A0xV
275Please respect copyright.PENANAk28KGwthzm
女複製人是燃料貨船的額外乘客。雖知道她的強悍,狼刃還是有點不安,275Please respect copyright.PENANAydGORTsQse
275Please respect copyright.PENANA2o24cw6pbf
「衣服有帶夠嗎?我的故鄉,比妳想像中寒冷許多。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAyMp28YuH8x
275Please respect copyright.PENANAlQvdREEgex
「放心,我只是要趁氣候惡化前觀光一下,沒有打算久留。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAzLpDZig5zY
275Please respect copyright.PENANAjdem1tXjme
「那麼,妳一定不會失望。對了,如果遇到燧石商隊,可不可以跟他們說,我現在……」275Please respect copyright.PENANAg2tiS3abSN
275Please respect copyright.PENANAtaZMDEnicr
「自己的事,自己去講。永遠都有時間留給家族,不是嗎?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAMkmgBdNHl0
275Please respect copyright.PENANATWEmMC4bB7
「唉,也對……好吧!祝妳一路順風。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAcbfihv6EFV
275Please respect copyright.PENANAAjO5V3eACB
「後會有期!」女複製人對感慨的異鄉領袖行禮致意,獨自走進艙內。老舊的宇宙船在人群目送下離開太空站,啟動躍進航行,踏上一千光年的旅程。275Please respect copyright.PENANAi99GEs0sq9
275Please respect copyright.PENANA6jYipJ5m0x
窗外是被拉長的星光。茵坦凝視著自己的倒影,靜靜感受引擎的顛簸。突然,竟有一股溫熱爬上喉頭,害她忍不住摀住嘴巴。275Please respect copyright.PENANAj5yl0orsDQ
275Please respect copyright.PENANAaDMC5jqdBs
「嗚……這是……」275Please respect copyright.PENANAGphpuN5g8V
275Please respect copyright.PENANALZWEqgwSl9
「妳暈船了嗎?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAIY1bgmqtfa
275Please respect copyright.PENANANlpZXn33Lc
稚嫩的聲音從背後傳來。女複製人轉頭一看,瞥見莎拉‧赫克托的臉龐。275Please respect copyright.PENANAtei1yrXvyY
275Please respect copyright.PENANA3BHSjJyweQ
過了一秒,她才理解那是幻覺。對自己搭話,遞出瓶裝水的,是船艦組員的小孩。275Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0qCeofk3C
275Please respect copyright.PENANA6zMxvraFQv
「啊……謝謝。」接過女孩的好意,茵坦疑惑地撫著胸口,「奇怪,以前都沒這樣過。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAG6WcRyo6Y6
275Please respect copyright.PENANACDK1dfhJeE
「姐姐,體質變了吧?人生說短不短,沒有不會改變的傢伙……我老爸講的。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAAYV99aR0Hk
275Please respect copyright.PENANA8XAaj0TtaX
「改變了……哼哼,也許是這樣沒錯。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA3ku84gQtWw
275Please respect copyright.PENANAVd6wqDsNFg
與女孩談笑著,茵坦想起元帥薩邁爾,以及要在努那尋求的未知事物,覺得身體充滿暖意。這時的她尚未明瞭,孕育生命的徵兆,已經悄悄出現。275Please respect copyright.PENANAaHKBkPhvDq
275Please respect copyright.PENANAhEEif5H8X6
同一時刻,K62星系。275Please respect copyright.PENANATdBuMJEbXa
275Please respect copyright.PENANAYQePhRRMNE
衰亡的恆星光輝依舊。來自安加雅與努那的接駁船圍繞著通訊站堡壘,為史無前例的大遷移做準備。它們的縮影,點綴了雪星的天空。275Please respect copyright.PENANAyNDzVtKLq4
275Please respect copyright.PENANABtf6JDSiz1
朝陽灑落樹葉間隙。位於山林深處的巨石墓碑前方,少年與機械人偶低頭禱告,給那些素未謀面的姓名獻上花束。275Please respect copyright.PENANAJjJIZBWppo
275Please respect copyright.PENANABGcISYpi1E
「這些都是妳和爺爺刻上去的?好壯觀……」儀式結束後,齊波尼亞繞著威爾斯的「遺作」走了一圈。藏在石碑後方,就是被偽裝布包裹的納沃D型。275Please respect copyright.PENANAfhUflyefCY
275Please respect copyright.PENANAw8uk3xiYFz
將它封印在此,是少年的想法。對現在的文明來說,高次元粒子太過危險。要是將來,有生命不惜踏入永久凍土,也要尋求力量時,他們首先就會看到那些名字,看到那麼多人為了爭奪而犧牲。275Please respect copyright.PENANAgen6W2kIof
275Please respect copyright.PENANA6m3pHq6Omq
「這些,是我們活過的痕跡……留給後代的事物,必須帶有省思。」德爾芬用指尖的結露潤濕花朵,從口袋中取出少年請她製作的物品。275Please respect copyright.PENANAL42lDuHLo4
275Please respect copyright.PENANAjhI6X7F7jn
「通訊機裡面有AI的初始程式,可以多重複製,從零開始再次學習……其實,要是你希望,我也可以直接重現妮瓦的性格……」275Please respect copyright.PENANAZf6qL6mq3p
275Please respect copyright.PENANATLowABPV7h
「不了,這樣就好。」齊波接過裝置,更加珍惜那份失去的情誼。275Please respect copyright.PENANAtkaiRnEJRJ
275Please respect copyright.PENANA2jTYH00FRS
「有很多比我還需要它們的人,我的『計畫』,就是分享。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAIQu6HTNz4n
275Please respect copyright.PENANA0QLwPZYlT7
「『撲滅孤獨計畫』,很有你的風格……造訪不願離開的居民,提供詳細諮詢,提供AI陪伴與照護。光是目前確認到的就有數萬戶,要在期限內完成,是個大挑戰。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAtyHcfuzKpx
275Please respect copyright.PENANAlVGJ4NvwgT
「沒錯,很難……所以才應該去做。我也能趁這次機會,好好認識這顆星球。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAjFIJNupkja
275Please respect copyright.PENANADcrEyNFHGO
少年的笑容帶著使命感。漸漸接近的機車引擎聲,都蓋不過他的宏願。275Please respect copyright.PENANAuc4WKrcK6A
275Please respect copyright.PENANAmx5HFsWeWp
「啊!嘉娜莉探完路了,確定不用送妳一程嗎?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAMiD0xanjJ2
275Please respect copyright.PENANAynbowiztaz
「不了,這樣就好。有需要的話,我的主體隨時都在。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAAqkkTpK3Hh
275Please respect copyright.PENANAAZfbBt9hzy
德爾芬與少年少女道別,將資訊傳回宇宙通訊站後,繼續守在石碑旁。有朝一日,這具人偶也會失去動力,與所有靈魂一起沉眠,直到永恆盡頭。275Please respect copyright.PENANASvROrsoRfJ
275Please respect copyright.PENANAMq20ksyhUL
積雪飛揚,針葉林呼嘯而過。女孩催動油門,男孩放大音量,跟她聊著曾經、現在,與將來。275Please respect copyright.PENANAUhSjYlzdBJ
275Please respect copyright.PENANA9oPDUc9ak0
「嘉娜莉!這邊右轉有個老奶奶,過去看看吧?可能是我們的第一個客戶喔!」275Please respect copyright.PENANA7YO0rG7YE4
275Please respect copyright.PENANAhRaalbWFJf
「好呀!應該來得及回去,晚上伯母要跟左鄰右舍聚餐,別忘了!」275Please respect copyright.PENANAUcITCt1COh
275Please respect copyright.PENANA2f1FK0AC7y
兩人二話不說,投入在他們能做的善舉。忙碌的一天,很快就過去。275Please respect copyright.PENANAYne4Aau8cU
275Please respect copyright.PENANASF9E7UJKqg
工廠市市區,烈南德家宅附近聚集了不少人。親友們把握最後時光,利用遷移之前的最後機會團聚。其中,包括復合的夫妻,以及與年輕英雄同一所學校畢業的孩子。275Please respect copyright.PENANAKlUAKYGn91
275Please respect copyright.PENANAxvXOnLPLj6
「嘿,輟學的探險家。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAS0ELfjOhXS
275Please respect copyright.PENANA6GEzOTyESJ
「阿蕭,你也來啦?」在戶外透氣時,齊波尼亞看到舊識,很自然地打招呼。275Please respect copyright.PENANAlnGQp1EWtm
275Please respect copyright.PENANArJ9KCz0vza
「你那邊應該很忙,不是嗎?政府機要秘書唉,厲害喔。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAZZWTTKIH2k
275Please respect copyright.PENANANRYQb2yNRb
「還好還好……多虧藏在地下倉庫的歷史文獻,才知道我以前多傻……跟你們這趟的遭遇比起來,血統之爭實在沒意義……先不講這些了,難得偷閒,來點起勁的啊?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAGbgqgkGrBi
275Please respect copyright.PENANACPkySGgJ5o
阿蕭蹲到路邊,挖起積雪握在手中,打開一瓶威士忌倒在上頭。接著,又呼朋引伴共襄盛舉。275Please respect copyright.PENANAwUiCY6ooVJ
275Please respect copyright.PENANAwpnmCApoPa
俗語說,大人打雪仗總是帶著酒香。齊波半信半疑地照做,跟大家一起把染成金黃的冰沙高舉上天,同聲喊道。275Please respect copyright.PENANAquQ29vK73T
275Please respect copyright.PENANAkxUflZ1wUO
「敬努那!乾杯!」275Please respect copyright.PENANAwOXHh4azL8
275Please respect copyright.PENANAqt3fobtgps
歡欣鼓舞的子民被極光眷顧,豐衣足食,一夜皆好眠……275Please respect copyright.PENANAMD4pxcSC7z
275Please respect copyright.PENANAXC7aB2sds7
除了那位寄宿著黑暗的少年。275Please respect copyright.PENANApUtBuYSVtE
275Please respect copyright.PENANAlFYyGmWXG3
深夜時分,齊波尼亞又在噩夢中驚醒。275Please respect copyright.PENANABJnNo6WwUb
275Please respect copyright.PENANAVCcqT1ygg8
要等晨光照進房間,他才能確定手上沒有沾滿鮮血。要聽到隔壁的打呼,才能確定爸媽沒有慘死。那些景象,是出自於心底的罪惡與愧疚,少年必須永遠壓抑,努力不讓「陽烈」滲透到現實。275Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8DG8B392a
275Please respect copyright.PENANAm6L5k9YJgf
我早就說過,你會被我反噬。275Please respect copyright.PENANAB83ij84hmw
275Please respect copyright.PENANAA2IbRfK6wO
「你已經會講話了?老天……每天聽你囉嗦,我真的會瘋掉。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA0tIvIydtFD
275Please respect copyright.PENANAhZCrLW8TDc
齊波揉著黑眼圈,試著忽略邪惡的聲音。換完衣服,來到客廳時,母親伊露雅剛作完早餐,笑著抱了他一下。275Please respect copyright.PENANAjbP1FLIlp0
275Please respect copyright.PENANAM2sEqZZkur
「這麼早起?今天要出任務,對嗎?」275Please respect copyright.PENANAxO6GfrKu3J
275Please respect copyright.PENANA3WJTeIeD40
「對啊……東西我帶著吃就好。嘉娜莉要忙孤兒院的事,我一個人,不會跑太遠。」275Please respect copyright.PENANAkLlnQVWdcE
275Please respect copyright.PENANAh6OEwjY0tG
背起行囊、打開大門,少年若有所思地佇足。看到半身被陰影遮蔽的兒子,伊露雅難掩擔憂地提醒。275Please respect copyright.PENANAfv7jUOA0LT
275Please respect copyright.PENANA2KBbrKxgLM
「寶貝……注意安全,別迷路了。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA4xJipa9tpt
275Please respect copyright.PENANA28QVv0Uvyk
「謝謝媽……」275Please respect copyright.PENANAwoclIH9Dr6
275Please respect copyright.PENANAICTPTkJ9xO
你以為,做那些好事,就能忘記犯下的過錯?275Please respect copyright.PENANAxGTcFydtpr
275Please respect copyright.PENANAFaROAAblyd
黑暗意識突然插嘴,害齊波尼亞頓了一下。275Please respect copyright.PENANArXG7Y6uHcC
275Please respect copyright.PENANADEXBAeMT4J
他決定轉身回去抱著母親,默默在心中反駁。275Please respect copyright.PENANAcYqohiEepQ
275Please respect copyright.PENANAWY7ZTdAV5w
至少,我在做不會讓自己後悔的事。275Please respect copyright.PENANAt6tDYYtiEl
275Please respect copyright.PENANAPuVZA92eTX
你要如何判斷?說不定,那些選擇又會導致某種錯誤。275Please respect copyright.PENANAcGlZiznUtS
275Please respect copyright.PENANAbBX3KxTNR7
很簡單吧……我腦中的惡魔,你就是我的反指標。
275Please respect copyright.PENANA6L1oFnfDUH
「謝謝媽,我沒問題的。」275Please respect copyright.PENANA3aPMM0gxt7
275Please respect copyright.PENANAMPYheIis7H
調整情緒後,少年再次跨出家門。275Please respect copyright.PENANAIWBpJqFIQv
275Please respect copyright.PENANAvzenv5gX7u
碧綠瞳孔的他,在陽光普照的雪地上深深吸氣,對著最鍾愛的世界立下誓言。275Please respect copyright.PENANAggYGUXWJ5U
275Please respect copyright.PENANAkdna2HGsQR
「我一定!一定會找到正確的路!因為,你可知道?太陽系的朋友都這樣叫我呢⸺」
