"Sinneman. Welcome back to the fleet as a fleet commander. This is Sbeloya Marie. I believe you will not be unfamiliar with her, Sinneman. "
Rem, who was standing next to the little girl, smiled and introduced the little girl to Sinneman. Then, he left the space for Sinneman and the little girl named Marie. He went to Ray Mingkai, Euphemia, and Marida alone.
"Are the three of you interested in having a chat with me?"
Marida shook her head and rejected Rem's proposal.
"No. Go ahead! I'll stay here. "
Marida meant that she was going to guard the door for Sinneman and Marie.
In response, Ray just smiled. "Marida, aren't you afraid that Sinneman will find out about your actions when she comes back to her senses?"
"Does it matter? This is a decision we made together. We won't regret it, and we won't be afraid of Dad finding out. "Marida's words were full of determination and no regrets.
"Is that so? Then, I wish you good luck. " Rei turned around and glanced at Sinneman, who was completely focused on Mary and hadn't heard the conversation. Rei said softly, "Mary's assimilation is going well. She is ready to set sail. Perhaps, you and the rest of you should be prepared. "
"I understand." Marida nodded and pushed Rem, Ray Mingkai, and Euphemia out of the berth. She stood guard at the door alone, creating an independent space for Sinneman and Marie to meet again.
After the three people who were chased away by Marida walked some distance away, they came to a watchtower that was wrapped in a wide isolation glass. Lei Cai rubbed his nose helplessly and laughed embarrassedly.
"Looks like I'm hated."
"Rem. Was that really Marie? "Ray Mingkai asked.
Ray Mingkai remembered that Sinneman's daughter, Mary, was already dead. Whether it was in the original novel or now, Sinneman acknowledged this point.
"Well, in a sense, Mary is still alive." Ray nodded and gave an ambiguous answer.
"Still alive? Living dead? "Euphemia was even more confused. Although she wasn't as familiar with the plot as Ray Mingkai, she knew the difference between life and death.
Ray shook his head, turned around, and raised his hand. He pointed at the MACROSS not far away and asked a question.
"If these huge space battleships have self-awareness, and they even have another appearance that is similar to that of humans, what kind of existence do you think they are?"
"Ship girl!"
There was no need to think or hesitate. The moment Ray Mingkai finished speaking, the name that came out of his mouth was unconsciously spoken by Ray Mingkai.
Then,
Ray Mingkai finally reacted.
"Uh ⊙ ∀ ⊙!"
When Lei Mingkai saw Euphemia's puzzled look, he hurriedly laughed dryly.
"I just had a moment of inspiration."
"Is that so?" For some reason, Euphemia's intuition was very sharp at this moment. She was so sharp that she almost noticed the secret that Ray Mingkai was trying to hide.
"Ahem. It is indeed as Ray Mingkai said. These existences that have both the appearance of space battleships and humans can indeed be called ship girls. This name has already spread in the City of Stars and the Administration. It is not strange that Ray Mingkai knows about it. "
She didn't expect Ray to save Ray Mingkai at the critical moment.
"Mhmm. That's it. I also heard about it from others. "
"Is that so?"
Looking at Ray Mingkai, the confusion on Euphemia's face remained.
"Experiment number: cl 03001, code name Mary. This code name is Mary's identification ID in the Administration."
"Experiment number? Mary is already a ship girl? "Ray Mingkai immediately caught the key point.
"How can it be? A human turned into a battleship!? "Euphemia exclaimed.
"No. Mary is not a human to begin with. Her discovery was because when Marida and the other Pu Lu participated in the planetary battle, they were sucked into a space-time singularity. When they came out again, the seriously injured Marida had a piece of information fragment on her body. It is Mary. "
Ray used a flat voice to describe a fact that made Ray Mingkai and Euphemia feel a little shocked.
"Maybe you still don't know what an information fragment is. But what you can understand is that an information fragment is a soul fragment to some extent. Therefore, in order to activate this information fragment, and in order to not let Marida's injury go to waste, we decided to launch the third type artificial intelligence life battleship experiment, which is the ship girl experiment. "
"In other words, the current Mary is a composite life between a human and an electronic data system?" Ray Mingkai tried to recall the memories he knew about ship girls from his previous life.
"Yes, and no. We will make them into elves. An elf with infinite possibilities. "Ray smiled and continued," Mary's success gave us a glimmer of hope. Here, in addition to the efforts of our technical staff, we have to thank you. Ray Mingkai. "
"Me?"
Not only Ray Mingkai, but even Euphemia, who had not been separated from him, was puzzled.
How could Ray Mingkai, who had been playing with glue in the Steel Pula World, affect Starlight City, and even the actions of the Administration's research and development department?
"Hehe. This is also thanks to the conversation between you and Sinneman, Ray Mingkai, which made Sinneman make up her mind, so we can finally proceed to the last step of the experiment. While Mary is completely adapting to her new body, she will try to evolve to a higher level through the stimulation of her relationship with Sinneman. "
Although the smile on Ray's face was still friendly, Ray Mingkai could not help but feel that he had been schemed against.
"Of course. This is just our vision for Mary's future. For now, let's let Sinneman and Mary have a good reunion. Finally, in my personal capacity, I congratulate Ray Mingkai, and Miss Euphemia for successfully qualifying for the World Competition. "
The topic changed, and Ray began to congratulate Ray Mingkai and Euphemia. And before Ray Mingkai and Euphemia could speak, he took the lead and said, "It should be about time now. Ray Mingkai, Miss Euphemia. Maybe we should go back and send Sinneman and the others off. "
Ray Mingkai and Euphemia looked at each other and nodded. They both saw it. The blonde man in front of them did not seem to want to continue on this topic. The words just now, perhaps it was because Ray Mingkai had influenced Sinneman's decision to a certain extent, and thus was told the secret.
"Ray. Maybe I'm thinking too much. I've seen a little girl that looks like the image you described before. I wonder if she is also a part of these existences? "
Lei Mingkai made a gesture and pointed at the MACROSS that was slowly flying into the depths of the void and raised his question.
"He Nana? Are you talking about the second princess? Haha. Her existence is not something that the Agency can influence. Also, if you want to talk about the relationship, then we can start with the Type 3 artificial intelligence life form. The appearance of the Type 3 is not a coincidence. Before it, there was the original Type 2 and the original Type 2. "
"Original Type 2? Type 2? "Euphemia frowned as she pondered over the crux of the matter. "Is there some kind of connection between them?"
Ray nodded.
"Yes. The original Type 2 and the original Type 2 are biologically related. The Type 3 has no blood relationship, but the Agency used part of the technology from the original Type 2 and the original Type 2 to develop it. "
Ray Mingkai heard this and rubbed his chin while thinking.
"In that case, the Type 3 is only technically related to the original Type 2 and the original Type 2 you mentioned. Other than that, the Type 3 can be seen as a new life form created by the Agency? "
"You can understand it that way." Ray smiled, raised his hand to look at the time, and repeated again. "It's about time. We should go back. "
Ten minutes later, Ray Mingkai and the others returned to the berth and saw Marida standing at the door from afar.
However, compared to before, Marida's face was much gentler now. It seemed that the situation inside should be good.
"Marida. It seems that your efforts were not in vain. "Ray looked inside and smiled at Marida.
"Mhmm. Our efforts were not in vain. Papa approved of us. "Marida's face began to show signs of a smile.
"Ray, thank you very much!"
At this time, Sinneman's figure walked up from the eighth berth. And his right hand was holding the little girl named Mary.
Just from the appearance of the cute girl with a pair of big eyes, it was impossible to connect her with the huge space battleship docked inside.
"No."
Ray shook his head gently.
"Sinneman. As the new commander of the fleet, your flagship must be the best flagship that the Agency can provide. And Mary, her existence is the best existence. Therefore, Mary and you are reunited. If you really want to thank, Sinneman, you should thank Marida and the other Pu Lu. It was because of their sacrifice that we were able to reunite this time. "
Sinneman was silent for a moment, turned his head, looked at Marida, and slowly nodded.
"Marida. Thank you. Although this is just a word of thanks, I still have to say it. I didn't expect that Marida's serious injury would be because of Mary, I … "
Before Sinneman could say half of it, Marida hugged her.
"Don't say that! Dad. I, we are very grateful to you for taking care of us all these years. So, when we found that we could make up for your regret, we twelve sisters made the same choice. "
Marida chuckled, her eyes filled with the radiance of no regrets.
"Right? Sister Mary. "
According to the timeline, Mary may be older than the Pu Lu including Marida. So, even if Mary's appearance was still a little girl, Marida still called her sister.
But Mary shook her head.
"No, sister Marida. To Mary, you are my sisters. It is because of you that I can reunite with Dad in this strange world. "
"Ahem. Okay. Marida, let's do as Mary said. " Sinneman coughed, and after deciding the address between Marida and Mary, she looked at Ray, Ray Mingkai, and Euphemia.
"Sorry! Sorry to keep you waiting. "
Ray shook his head slightly.
Ray Mingkai and Euphemia smiled together. "No. Sinneman, Marida, congratulations! "
"Thank you! Maybe this is fate! "The smile on Sinneman's face never faded. "But, now is not the time to talk about this."
Sinneman looked serious, straightened her back, and gave a military salute to Ray.
"Sbeloya Sinneman is now enlisted for military service."
Marida on the side did the same.
"Marida -Cruz has recovered from her injury and applies to return to the team!"
Ray looked serious and returned the salute. "Now, as the acting director, I approve the return of Sbeloya Sinneman and Marida -Cruz on behalf of the director of the Administration. Welcome! "
After the salute, Ray said, "Now time is tight. The Administration and the Qin Army are working on a plan, so I hope the two of you can return to your posts as soon as possible. "
"Understood!" Sinneman, who began to act as a commander, and Marida looked at each other. After Marida took Mary through the door behind her, she stepped forward and patted Ray Mingkai on the shoulder.
"Mingkai. I can only accompany you until here. We can only rely on you and Euphemia for the rest of the journey. "
"I will." Ray Mingkai nodded, raised his right hand and tapped his heart, and said firmly, "Knight, fearless of any difficulties!"
"That's the spirit." Sinneman nodded with satisfaction, looked sideways at Euphemia, and said mockingly, "Princess Euphemia, I hope that when we meet again in this universe, I can drink your wedding wine."
In an instant, Euphemia's little face turned red, and Ray Mingkai's eyes drifted away.
"Hahahahaha! Then, goodbye! "
Sinneman's figure quickly disappeared behind the slowly closing gate of berth number eight.
Then, the restraining arms that secured the MACROSS in the port opened one by one, freeing the MACROSS's freedom.
"Dad. Do you know the name of this spaceship? "Standing next to the captain's seat, little Mary looked up at her father, who she had not seen for a long time.
"I don't know! Mary, can you tell dad? "Sinneman smiled softly and patted Mary's head lovingly.
"Hehe. Although she is a part of Mary, I like to call her Maggie! This is my clone, and also my original body! "Mary proudly raised her little head and said in a clear voice.
"Is that so? Then, Mary, when can we set off? You should know that we don't have much time! "Marida bent down and picked Mary up from the ground.
"Mhmm. We can set off at any time! But did dad forget something? "Mary blinked her big eyes, which were full of slyness.
"What did I forget?"
Sinneman chuckled, then suddenly raised her hand and pointed forward with a serious expression.
"MACROSS Maggie! This is your first voyage! I order as the fleet commander! MACROSS Maggie! Great Constellation Order! "
"MACROSS Maggie! Order confirmed! Great Constellation Order! "
Amidst the sparkling engine of the MACROSS Maggie, the engine of the
Standing on the observation deck, Ray Mingkai and the others watched the departing MACROSS. Sinneman and Marida, who had returned to the fleet, once again set off on their journey with the joy of reunion.
