Chapter 2 (continued)

Part 1

“Return back to the shi+p?”

It’s 402pht of the artificial sun started to weaken, Marida was talking to the receiver in the public phone (That’s right) Zinnerman answered

(End the search for the tioes for Alec and Besson)

It’s been more than 2 hours since they lost her They didn’t have a way to break through the large construction area, and it’s true that they were just wasting time However, they ended their search too quickly Marida looked at the electric car that was parked beside the public phone on the road Alec, as in the driver’s seat, was staring at the neighboring building—the school compound of Anaheim Electronics It’s impossible to see froh the same method

Of course, nobody could guarantee that the student will coe commotion in the construction area, it’s impossible for him to stay there, and there’re no other leads Marida looked at the watch to see that there’s still some time before the transaction’s done, and said with a soirl’=”” must=”” have=”” entered=”” the=”” space=”” colony=”” builder=””>

“We know the identity of the student who helped her ‘escape’ Most likely, itrelated to the Foundation Once ait for him to come back…”

“That Foundation contacted us already The location of the transaction is changed to the space colony builder”

The fingers holding onto the phone trembled The Vist Foundation that e in location for the deal—and in their territory too Feeling the irritation of having the initiative snatched froirl’?=””> (Play dumb) Zinnerman said

(We have no idea of what their intentions are, but we can only pretend that we know anything Go get ready just in case so happens)

Then, shouldn’t we be going to the colony builder together instead of going back to the ‘Garencieres’? Marida wanted to say instinctively, but sed her words The assu that can be handled with just one or two people being on guard, but mobile suits that have to be on standby

It’ll be great if Vist Foundation, who deliberately opened their stronghold, hand her over If not, at that tiate of Anaheim Electronics It seemed that it’s after school, and the students that were in plainclothes were laughing and walking out froate to the electric car carpark

What causes the a baby cart along, walking beside theined these pedestrians getting involved in the ‘assumed situation’ Once they’re involved, it’s easy for their lives to vanquish easily However, they will never dreaht about their deaths actively or subconsciously, and think that today’s just like yesterday Marida was really unhappy as she understood that peace was just a roup ile

I took in too h she wanted to capture that student called Banagher and interrogate him about ‘her’ whereabouts, she herself isn’t suited to do this kind of work She wanted to get rid of this tight-fitting clothing and return to the shi+p…

(It’s finally tio check out what’s in that treasure box)

Zinnerhts Marida wasn’t looking at the strangers, but looked up at the sky of the warm space colony that made her uncomfortable

Part 2

Below Marida’s feet, about 50m away from the inner walls, at the outer walls of Industrial 7 that’s in direct contact with vacuu in

The larger one was more than 15ular shapes look like norion The pilot of the <geara zulu=””>> that was hidden on the back of the solar panel, Savoir, saw it It’s unknohether it was a block of dirt from the destroyed portion of the space colony, or whether they’re debris fro at the same speed as Industrial 7, and even if it touches the space colony, it will only graze the outer wall The port ement’s radar should have detected it if they decide that there’s danger, they can set up countere the trajectories and so on Savoir ed visual of the CG

If he focused attention on a certain point, the overall surveillance will be eased He has been watching outside alone for more than 12 hours, and he had already listened to the music he took out to listen to pass the ti He opened the visor of the helmet and used a tissue paper to wipe away the sweat Savoir looked at the numerous s on the all-view monitor The 4 miniature camera devices that were set around the machine showed their visuals over to the cockpit of the Geara Zulu There were the lights of a civilian shi+p that ca on the outer wall of the space colony, and the two blocks of rock that were closing in Savoir checked that everything was norht that it will be over in another 3, 4 hours Once the deal’s done, he can return to the <garencieres>> and stretch his limbs nicely He, who hasn’t had , was treated as a rookie by the crew of the <garencieres>>, and is finishi+ng a day’s worth of recon without handing over his duties…

Suddenly, the surveillance canal, and the broadcast channelinside the cockpit became static Savoir hurriedly put his hand on the arh frequency wireless radio and concentrates his consciousness on the countless conversations through the statics The signal vanished after about 10 seconds, and Savoir heaved a sigh of relief

That’s probably interference from the Minovsky Particles! Soion to jam the electric waves as it expand, but the interference this ti For precaution’s sake, Savoir did all sorts of mechanical tests, and checked the visuals of the surveillance ca different fro behind the space colony and entering the blind spot of the camera

However, Savoir didn’t know that the Minovsky Particles interference for thatthat even the port radar that had shi+elding parts was covered The two pieces of rock then used thiswhat Savoir expected

The uneven rocky surfaces let out glows from the control boosters, and the two stone blocks were slowly approaching <industrial 7=””>> During the short amount of time while the boosters let out thrust, the stone blocks attained relative velocity to the rotational speed of the space colony, and they were stuck on a part of the outer wall that had the ‘Wheels’ on it Then, the thing that looked like a stone block from the outside seemed to explode like a balloon; and what appeared inside was obviously an artificial object

The tea-brown body that was inorganic like rock had li to do with a solid object Also, the eye-like visor that had the function of covering the sensor on the head made it seem like it’s a mobile suit humanoid weapon, but there’s a lot of characteristics that didn’t fit it It copied the traditional look of the Federation Army made mobile suits, but its head is so flat that it feels like it was hit, and it is only 12m tall, 2 sizes smaller than a standard mobile suit The mechanical shoulders do not have any hands at the wrists, only wrists that were designed uniquely for this squarish unit The advantage of this mobile suit is that it’s very versatile in terms of use, as its arms can be used to holster weapons Based on this, the state right now doesn’t look very efficient

However, this is only one form of the D-50C <loto>> machines The two <lotos>> reuise, and got close to the space colony while being hidden in Minovsky’s Particles, and the machines that were obviouslythe outer walls of the ‘Wheels’

The stars in the background wererelatively to the rotational speed of the colony, and the machines draw out the mechanical arms from under the wrists The tip of the beam burners melt the outer wall of the ‘Wheels’ Unlike a beam saber that’s a concentrated fora-particles directly, causing the outer wall of the ‘Wheels’ to melt like butter Less than several seconds later, more than 10m square of the outer wall is sliced off, and both <lotos>> e to successfully enter the place One oes into to weld the outer wall from the inside This is to simply weld the i

There’s no air filled in this outermost area of the ‘Wheels’ as theis less than 10m tall, and the materials that were left aside were left behind the pillar, creating a view si board As the <loto>> at the back is welding, the machine at the front sneaks into the narrow space, and ducks down as its feet touches the ground It looks like it fell as it touched the ground because of gravity, but this is the correct operating process of this machine

Just as its feet are about to touch the ground, the caterpillar units that are installed at the back are deployed; and the 2 set of crawlers that bore 4 wheels each bore the weight of the <loto>> unit as it land Both legs then reached forward, and the thigh-equivalent parts were extended forward The upper arms slide back, and the trist are attached to the left and right side of thea machine with limbs all over the place

The flattened head is half-entrenched back inside the body, and the six-wheeled crawlers that are equipped behind the thighs of the <loto>> land on the ground The <loto>> that’s not a humanoid shape but a tank now moves its four crawlers and went forward as a tank The <loto>> behind it transfor for its ally to move far, and men in normal suits came out from the troop transport rooravity and use the boosters to go all over the place before quickly starting on their designated missions

The smart normal suits that look like they’re for pilots to use have bulletproof vests with azine pouches worn on the outside, and the holsters of the M-92F autos The aruards, and there are recoilless rifles slung behind the shoulders Thethis equipment, and didn’t do any unnecessary movehts arehelravity on their bodies as they begin to deal with the access hatches on the wall and the ground They have to restore the alarm mechanism as the outer as melted, set up a mechanism for them to maintain contact with each other even with the effects of Minovsky Particles, and establish connections to control systen this ti in front went down the split path and disappeared In this faint passage with neither air nor sight of crowds, the ru as it moves further and further away

After a hushed exchange, the fully-armored men end their work and return to the <loto>> The last one uza indicate the pilot sitting at the front to start ic Naval Research Institute—SNRI developed ives off power that won’t lose to an ordinary reactor as it uza’s <loto>> jerked as it does not h the narrow hatch

The small size of the reactor allows the machine to be smaller, but the <loto>> can carry quite a few people As a transfor mobile suit, it also has to fulfill the specs of a transport carrier during special missions, so, needless to say, it holds a transport room that can hold 8 troops inside The control room can also contain 3 people, the captain, the driver and the communication personnel, and has the function of a command vehicle once it reaches a couza sue of the space colony has the link between the space colony and the ‘Wheels’ as the center, and through the light spots, they’re able to tell where Teauza to realize how accurate the Inertia Navigation Systeh accelerations operation and time—is

The operation has lasted for 1 hour and 40 minutes ever since they launched froauza isn’t taking any risks here Earth, colonies, asteroids—to the members of ECOAS, special forces of the Earth Federation who believe in ‘fighting nocolonies is just so normal for that The probleuza let the screen roll and focus on the stage of this battle Down the inner wall of the ‘Wheels’, they will reach what’s basically equivalent to a dock of Industrial 7, the colony builder <allanica>> that has a unique shape

It’s a large facility governed as a public colony, but in fact, it’s the base of the Vist Foundation That place has the target item, the <laplace box=””>> ECOAS’it over to the third party, and if possible, reclaiuza knows that attached to the ‘stop’ word are the words ‘at any costs’, and ‘reclaim’ has the word ‘secretly’ attached to it He knows this is a mission that the standard army can’t do and a mission that ordinary people can’t see, and that’s why the ECOAS are recruited However, how ated through the insides of the <allanica>> and the security system, but they have no idea of what the most important ‘box’ contains Even if they find it out, he doesn’t kno to move it

Thus, they have to confirm its existence But with the involvement of the third party, the ‘Sleeves’, it can be said to be impossible for them to find this unidentified object The success of this mission and the safety of the forces will all be in jeopardy unless they act ‘at all costs’ Daguza realize that they’re fighting with the savage title of manhunters, opened the visor of his helmet, pull thethe visor

Through the visor of the normal suit, what can be seen was only a cold expression That nature of eli one’s own identity is ECOAS’ overall nature In this get up, all ive up on their identities and beco in on their targets silently and finishi+ng the uise the results as an accident Every person exists, and yet doesn’t, and are just a unit that form ECOAS

They will elianization called the Earth Federation without anyone knowing, clearing them without ht, but parts have no wishes, and won’t have any expectations As long as they’re individuals or organizations, there’ll be wastage when people live This is souza use this philosophy he adheres to in order to shake away the doubt in his hts back to the screen in front of him

The two <lotos>> use the short layer under the ground of the colony to quickly radually close in at the entry point of the space builder The tiauza exhales as he watches the time tick by The breath that’s under the incos about a presence of actual combat into the nose
