In the void of space, a Bisco-class cruiser belonging to Lars Horn, the armed organization that ended the Ursa war three hundred years ago, slowly left the last relay station set up by Lars Horn in this void before arriving at Mars.
"Mars? As a colony, an empty shell that has been sucked dry of flesh and blood, is it really worth us, Lars Horn's inspector, to make a personal trip? "
A blue-haired young man with the rank of major in Lars Horn's officer uniform leaned against the back of his friend's chair in boredom. He looked at the relay station that was gradually forgotten by the Bisco-class cruiser he boarded.
The blond young man sitting in the commander's seat revealed a smile after confirming the news sent by his subordinate. He tilted his head slightly to look at his close friend.
"Is the mission of patrolling the border boring? Galio. "
The blue-haired man smiled gently, then stood up and looked at his close friend.
"How can that be? As a military officer belonging to the Ministry of Supervision, I will do my job dutifully. Agent McGillis, Mr. Major. "
After a pause, the blue-haired man named Galio looked away and looked at the man who stood in the corner from beginning to end, observing the situation on the bridge.
A man whose face was covered by a dark mask.
"Compared to this, I am more concerned about his existence. A suspicious person of unknown origin who was able to board this ship. "
McGillis had already expected his best friend's reaction.
The smile on his face did not diminish. Instead, he stood up and looked at the dark void in the distance, as if the crimson planet was about to appear in front of him.
"Now the economy of the Earth circle can only be maintained by stepping on that empty shell. Even if they were to sacrifice themselves for the prosperity of the Earth circle, it would be too much. Moreover, as the gatekeeper of the prosperity of our world, the Mars branch is also the same. Mr. K, don't you think the current situation is necessary for reform? "
MR.K。
The masked man who was targeted by Galio but was questioned by McGillis raised his head slightly and followed McGillis' gaze to the void.
"I don't know the situation on Mars. However, the prosperity of Earth is thanks to the semi-metal trade on Mars. In the trade, the forces of the Earth circle constantly rely on their own influence to put pressure on Mars, which led to the current situation. "
The dull voice slowly came from behind the dark mask, which made Galio frown.
Galio knew a little about the origin of the man who always showed up in a dark mask.
However, what he was dissatisfied with was that McGillis seemed to rely heavily on the man who did not show his true face.
Every time he encountered a problem, McGillis would always take the initiative to discuss it with him.
It was the same from the first day he boarded the battleship.
Now, it was the same.
"Do you mean that the reason for the increasing independence of Mars is that the Earth is to blame?"
Galio's eyebrows twitched as he questioned the masked man in a reprimanding tone.
"Hey!"
Mr. K sneered.
"Is that not the case? Let's put aside the pressure on Mars by the Earth circle. Lars Horn, who controls the safe route created by the relay station between the Earth circle and Mars, how much profit did they reap from the increasingly prosperous semi-metal trade? Major Gario Badwin, the eldest son of the Badwin Family, one of the Seven Stars Families of Galalhorn, might know something about this. "
"You!!"
Mr. K's words were like a fatal blow, deeply hitting Galio's vital point.
As the eldest son of the Badwin family, one of the seven star families that controlled Lars Horn, even if Galio was not interested in the internal struggles of the seven star families in the past, he would always hear about the rumors of the seven star families from various sources.
And the semi-metal trade from Mars was the most important of these rumors.
Therefore, in the face of Mr. K's counterattack, Galio could not find any words to refute it.
This made Galio, who always put himself as McGillis' best friend and a collaborator in a major project, feel extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, his good friend McGillis had saved Galio's face in time.
"Mr. K's words are not without reason. Gallio, we have no way of knowing how much of a mess the Martian branch, which monitors the trade routes between Earth and Fire, has left behind in places beyond the reach of our Galalhorn headquarters. Therefore, perhaps the only thing we have to do is to change. "
With that said, McGillis turned back to look at his best friend and asked softly,
"Also, the voices of Mars' independence are getting more and more intense. Maybe we don't have time to care about other things. Galio, maybe we'll be busy. "
Galio looked at McGillis' troubled expression and then sighed.
"Is that so? Then, I'll do my part to help you! Also, it's best for a certain fellow to just sit here and watch the show obediently. "
This might be a provocation.
However, the person who was targeted by Gario nodded as if it was a matter of course.
"That's natural. After all, compared to Major Galio Badwin, who is full of military ethics, it's better for me, an ordinary person who only knows how to talk all day long, to stay in a safe place. "
"You!!"
Galio, who didn't expect to be countered, almost exploded on the spot.
Fortunately, McGillis' timely pacification stopped the quarrel between the two.

Night.
Ray Mingkai and Lacus walked out of the cafeteria and strolled on the empty field that had long become silent.
Looking at the tracks left by the mobile engineers, Ray Mingkai seemed to have become silent.
This surprised Lacus a little.
But she understood Ray Mingkai's feelings at the moment.
Seeing once was better than hearing a hundred times.
Even if he had seen the scene through the binoculars before, he could not see the situation up close.
Alaya Consciousness System.
This was a taboo technology that Ray Mingkai briefly talked about. After Lacus saw the teenagers who had the Alaya Consciousness System installed, she suddenly felt that Carrie Yura Ashar, who also had the Alaya Consciousness System installed in her for a long time, was very lucky.
The teenagers who survived the Alaya Consciousness System implantation did not receive better treatment because of it, instead, they were oppressed and bullied even more.
Even if these teenagers could use the Alaya Consciousness System to familiarize themselves with driving the mobile engineers that adults would need some time to master, the situation was still the same.
"Kai, is this the treatment of the Alaya Consciousness System?"
The cold night wind blew Lacus's voice to Ray Mingkai's ears.
Ray Mingkai did not speak, he just slowly nodded.
Yes!
This was the Alaya Consciousness System that he saw with his own eyes.
Not to mention the famous duo of Miyazaki and Olga, the Akihiro he met during the day was completely different from the Akihiro Ray Mingkai met in the Creator's World.
At that time, although Akihiro was taciturn, a trace of happiness could be seen between his eyebrows.
Especially when Ravda appeared, this taciturn tower-like man's gaze never left her, he seemed especially attentive and gentle.
But now, the Akihiro in front of Ray Mingkai was taciturn, unfamiliar, and closed off.
Even when Ray Mingkai tried to greet Akihiro, he was met with an indifferent and cold gaze, like a machine that only listened to orders.
"Lacus."
"Hm?"
Ray Mingkai's soft call made Lacus come closer to him.
"Kai. I will support you. "
Although Ray Mingkai did not say anything, Lacus seemed to have understood Ray Mingkai's thoughts.
Ray Mingkai shook his head, but did not say anything.
In contrast to the two people in the cold wind, except for a few people, the members of Team 3 had already fallen asleep.
In a room full of pipes, the two people who trained themselves strictly as usual were competing to see who could do the most horizontal bars.
But as a tall and sturdy member, Akihiro seemed to consume more energy than the short Miyazaki.
Because of this, Akihiro did the horizontal bars while complaining about the difference in weight between him and Miyazaki.
"Yes, yes. But the person during the day was very strong! "
Miyazaki casually responded to Akihiro, but in his mind, he recalled the young man who defeated all the members of Team 1 in a few moves during the day.
"During the day?"
Akihiro was stunned, he almost let go of his hand and fell off the horizontal bar.
After finally catching his breath, Akihiro said:
"That man, I heard he asked us to send them to Earth. Miyazaki, do you think it's a joke? "
Miyazaki was silent for a moment, then he pulled the horizontal bar faster. Akihiro was so scared that he quickly followed up, afraid that he would lose to Miyazaki.
In the hangar, as the captain of Team 3, Olga was talking about the mobile engineers with CGS's maintenance member, Nadi Xue Zhiguchi Kasaba.
"Okay! That's all the equipment you need to prepare. "
A middle-aged man with dark skin and a tall and sturdy body, completely unlike the name Xue Zhiguchi, tapped on the tablet in his hand.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Olga, who saw that the thing that worried him the most was finally settled, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
However, the serviceman's father said, "That's right.
"Have you seen that pair of honored guests? Olga. "
Olga was stunned, then nodded.
"Yes. I saw them during the day. I didn't expect them to suddenly appear in the cafeteria. "
Olga couldn't help but smile bitterly when she remembered the situation during the day.
That man and woman, how should she say it?
The man had not only brought pressure to the members of the First Squad and even the Third Squad, but the woman beside him had also made Sino and the other hot-blooded fellows dizzy on the spot, and had almost caused trouble.
Fortunately, someone had set a trap for the Third Team.
Team 1.
As the name suggests, they were the pillars of CGS.
Under Maruba's heavy reliance, it was natural that some people would despise him for having such a despicable personality.
So, under the situation where they didn't know the identity of the guests, this group of people who were used to being arrogant inevitably had some flirtatious and careless behavior. But in the end …
Olga, Sino, Akihiro, and even Miyazaki who was engrossed in eating were all shocked by this scene.
In just a blink of an eye, a few members of Team 1 who surrounded them fell at the young man's feet. They couldn't move at all, and only their painful howls could be heard.
"Hey! What did you do to North, Toro and the others? "
As soon as they saw their own people being beaten, the other members of Team 1 immediately surrounded them and complained.
"What did I do? It's just a lesson. "
Looking at more than ten people surrounding him, the young man didn't back down, instead he stepped forward and protected the woman behind him.
"You're quite good at talking. Do it! "
Not sure if it was because they were angry or because they were controlled by some kind of impulse, but they didn't think about why this man and woman who didn't look like ordinary people would appear. Now, everyone in Team 1 rushed up and prepared for a group fight.
"Wait! You guys are … "
Sino subconsciously called out, but was stopped by Olga.
"Sino! Wait! Look! "
Olga's gaze became very serious.
Because, the members of Team 1 who ganged up on the young man were once again in the same situation.
In just a blink of an eye, they all fell to the ground, screaming in pain, and couldn't stand up again.
"This … what exactly is going on?"
No one knew.
The only thing they knew was that Maruba and the leader of Team 1, Helda, who rushed over after hearing the news, had very ugly expressions.
At the same time, Maruba squeezed out an even uglier smile with difficulty and apologized to the man and woman repeatedly, repeatedly saying that he wouldn't do it again. He even fired the few members of Team 1 who caused trouble on the spot.
Olga, who had witnessed the whole process, could still clearly recall the scene even in the middle of the night.
"After all, they are important guests! I heard that as long as we complete their request, CGS's debt will be reduced by more than half. "
The serviceman uncle put down the tablet in his hand and looked at Olga.
"En, yes. That's what Old Man Maruba told me personally. So, compared to the lady who will be coming tomorrow, Old Man Maruba cares more about the important guests. "
Old Man Maruba raised his eyebrows, then raised his hands and stretched.
"Who cares! If CGS's debt can be reduced, then I can work here for a longer time. No matter what, it's beneficial for me. "
Olga was slightly stunned, then smiled and said:
"You're right."
Although that was what she said, for Team 3, it wasn't clear whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
After all, if CGS's debt was reduced, then Team 3, as a disposable product, would probably face more difficult requests.
