「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？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv7ntlFiTu
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wSRye3cuZ
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？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3kb6jTINl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzUSpuaOKw
「人類？」嘉娜莉靠近前座，看了一眼緊握方向盤的塔格。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlhj1VKN3t
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNKf54DdY6
「L2過去還是人類，就是他幫助德爾芬建立這個城市……」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf3OOjTyNE
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaWllkLncV
「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⸺」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BJ4x2sdpl
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82AVAlOI81
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgO2Llzw1b
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSI5KCa2bc
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePvIzwWSJW
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX40xbyS95
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXbHqNJCxQ
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXzLfQMSae
不知為何，他的一舉一動總是讓女艦長感到莫名熟悉。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Qr9TWNEx
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyhn5nQars
「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……」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqQH4qCA2e
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaOZR07Zxz
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3kbYpHuJb
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCYJlIJ7zJ
「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」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9zKhEXSfN
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYtFyyKLuQ
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6MO8lq0Jw
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeqzPzQjVu
「前言撤回，有人類真好⸺這雙短腿走過來要五千小時……」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeO3kGI0b6
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvmFhjFWa5
「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？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnAepjTpbT
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4LICa59rz
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLvUq4e1u3
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFpLCpuI8Z
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjuBiSWtQN

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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacov8lnx2j

「肚子餓了……」齊波收起電銲槍，拉開面罩，「想不到整備這麼累！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo1ePy48dE
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNq9VIU4G2
「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？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSOU7ejTyY
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVnmE4XzpK
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKcgnaAsif
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCX6YG97JA

兩人正要鬥嘴，倉庫突然響起警報。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuXu04zd95
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghjQnFmHkY
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlShKzv4Zn
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJAHnCx0Ba
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0wCq1MvlI
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQaHhvhaI5
採礦！採礦！電塑金屬，業績狂飆⸺408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBWHX0ctOf
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECWOZpDITv
強烈節奏傳出艾卡臂環，可見朵魅跟著音樂搔首弄姿。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptehCnrZnK
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu86cqGBKhq
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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Wb7UGAKR
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMg8lcKQ7x
「『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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPCWyLYtUL
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XEp4P9ZNy
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OX7Km2r2s
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrJ40JTJPy
「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？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcbLPk60eb
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EGxFI4K6P
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcNS3jKmuN
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLnh0oKn89
「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……」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXBc8qn3I8
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZI9hnG54M
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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNrILjGDf0
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdD0lpkp52
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzd6TymBXA

「說一下嘛！烏霸，你真的只是為了鍛鍊才來的？」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK4rtdy5T7
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCY8jCGhzP
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQaoZNHkGE
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK6NCUmRht
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9122LIWo1
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM0DW3TYqa
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kOwVrwuNr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6qtFRN3eT

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！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCienvFhjKX
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P2A85L8fZ

408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlthHZJNhYd
「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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI5bPMPRMF
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN85y0zxANI
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HXjqjm1kV
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ch8bYXFfl
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mOYZBRAoT
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa9AljQa3o
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP4qYdTffn

「好吧，齊波尼亞，你代表北門，烏霸是南門⸺賽道很單純，繞圈！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4zLxosIPz
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rSUorCG7O
下一秒，四個機甲圖樣出現在齊波腳邊，兩白、兩黑。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58MnTVXggh
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW4CYHUyQ5
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1WJgNMCfi
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFkQeTE6Y7
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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNhJbW6uk6
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIyQW6166v
「搶到球的那隊繼續前進，順時鐘通過南門，得分。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkISRldD0nd
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pBPDwyFQR
圓點穿過烏霸腳底，地板顯示一比零。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsiDRPlAul
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwGD3BfyGG
「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！」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRVNAzWiXr
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ2COB8hkj
投影消失，L2放大音量強調。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP3yZbtRqm
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhkhk5h7Zq
「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。」408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL04covWyd
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8G6nKJ5DO
「該說簡單，還是困難呢？」齊波看向烏霸，怕他不小心打到忘我。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCnmdTGMPv

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。408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnhtkZGhSy

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。
