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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9npTNmp3O

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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp75vXegItl
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwd7KfuJOV
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulbk4b3I8L
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMLxseYnls
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz2xliqW3G

「好，BB，列出代辦事項。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHbFlPe58h
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SL8ev5EbZ
「代辦事項，總共：五百八十三件。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnihOR3SLXj
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZWl6gMA5f
「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？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUgAeGW3c0
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOPwKvlCGY
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e0oNQLuiy
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspuPoN3lrd

346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCMnc0h9Ws
「小行星帶礦場公會威脅罷工，要求把軍事核心轉回火星圈。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvenvByjwzm
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhomTV8gbPh
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvO2z7YM8S
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu7RCIfUeq
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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQhhlGtuNr
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVI1RY1CdI
「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……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn25oeYDhq
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBznrNe1GD
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa4gMIMjFE
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5sUKNpXyG
「真正的和平……到底是什麼樣子……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBnS1s33jg

「大人，艾莉雅女士到達寢宮。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibcag76Dtd
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9wZzJ8NcM
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznBHUDoiUE
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXANjrnd7Ij
年幼的他首次與父親爾哈特合影，表情好不快樂。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb9sDaMfYd
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIYQZ43K11
「BB……你不會背叛人類吧？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uG59OUMMB
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSgoN3muNX
「『背叛』屬於進階情感定義，超過運算限制，無法執行。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxxDRNIwAR
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFppnVTZMI
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rdn2Owjfo
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP9KVzhQlr
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpgcOXlA16
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGetv56VNR9
「哥，你來了！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldjGOJ7Xja

「桑德斯，好久不見！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3TNRHUPmS
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFLZvKs6XA
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0WWvnprd3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61wWG0MIpw
「母親大人……您是否安好？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1THokkWdPr
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrKmYS2mSk
「安好？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiaIgTvHu2
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p99jCQQPL
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXWmMFfeVa
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4hv9P402h
「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……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA2xvtVIap
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAoqLA222S
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnemLXNYR8c
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLMAkpFtyx
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguFQSx1eGe
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtYuJ0fuD0
「可是……人民需要時間安定。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWkIkB3bdq
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1bvEPLE5v
「如果你要安定，薩邁爾，我就讓你弟桑德斯去戰場立功。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LVvKsQzc3
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy45xh68kM
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLWuuuktUN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJwWOYoSAy
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmhpcAZL90
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4VesrxlTb
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOAgxx2oq1
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1hpdL8ZJc
「看來，你沒有遺傳到爾哈特的果決。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiZVYXvHpC

「可是，父親他……」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVunk8uH15
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kj758H6wM
他當時還打算犧牲我們，吸引人民支持。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkVSPFAKWS
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBdpOG359k
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVd6qGZYk5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87T14zLqnw
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWwMN4It1v
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCeJTm3NyD
「鈦仙……我知道了，好好休息吧⸺桑德斯，這裡就給你保護了。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwlbrqntYy

「哥……是！元帥大人！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYe5ojBuIm
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU0pMSNQA2
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVCmNpgAxZ
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjIiEqZ1Ww
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3RBW480fu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXRGEr4REr
「血緣，真是惱人的羈絆啊……元帥？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxrtQHV8u5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vFxYfyJpW
「有話快說，鈦仙。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxbMzc69y6
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFP1dc3vfW
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHrDophXvf
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhXUlPRDvW
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukcHi7EPMW
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiLi70EUpU
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM45aCKx4h
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit6cTjhFh3
「寄生在有力量的那一方，就是長壽的秘訣？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIjR5zYtPo
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9J6lzrIlY
「沒錯！等到絕對力量出現，我就能壽終正寢囉。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iex7maZ2x
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKyhd2S2uB
鈦仙飄向宮外接駁船，尖酸話語不斷在元帥腦中打轉。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ThyQz1fT
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSieJvE8Yf
「你要親手借用電子腦之力，還是要把重責大任丟給血親呢？」 346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq5DsIShvp
「嘖！」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiKfAxYVet
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozTaO5Rnr2
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmU1Ni1Kyu
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQdbu7ldMt
「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？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz3vtOjgI8
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6XlCTUXiP
「嗯……是啊，『高蓮茲』的狀態如何？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2rix1QOEp
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkSojvFSAE
「情報戰專用調整，偵測範圍不可置信，在卡利斯托就能看到木星極光。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu1W71OtA5
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkI3FMUfnm
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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqCBiDQ0HN
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJJZRgAUZU
「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。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd36x4ufbfO
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciCDg29quj
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArR9hqa06x
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2HL9BiUEd
薩邁爾有點訝異，跟沒有血緣的對象談話，讓他無拘無束。346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR62WZYzF5S
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrSiAZ8Hav
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs3XAZ85Bv
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oJgtfzRvD
「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？」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyepT7CiYo
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPOk6f1EZ4
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO42dxtpGqC
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb8LhV1FLT
「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。」346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5n3Cljo9N

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？
