After receiving the message from the moon, Xiao Ran and the others traveled for about ten hours in space before arriving at the moon base. It had been more than twenty-four hours since Xiao Ran arrived in this world.
After the Gadi Lu arrived at the moon base, a group of technicians quickly boarded the Gadi Lu and began analyzing the Gundam, Gaia Gundam, and Abyss Gundam. Xiao Ran and Ian Lee were brought to a bald brigadier general in the base.
Needless to say, Xiao Ran had no impression of this bald brigadier general at all. It could be said that he did not know this person at all. Not only this bald man, but there was probably no one in the entire moon base that Xiao Ran really knew. After Xiao Ran entered his office, the bald brigadier general smiled very politely. He even stood up and greeted Xiao Ran personally. "Colonel Neo, you're here. Please take a seat."
Xiao Ran did not stand on ceremony with the other party and found a place to sit down. However, the other party's politeness made Xiao Ran feel a little strange. However, Ian Lee stood behind Xiao Ran and did not seem surprised. The other party was so polite that it was as if Xiao Ran was really on the same level as him, or even higher than him. But then again, as an independent force, the Phantom Unit had much more power than the average alliance army. They even had the right to mobilize troops of all levels. Moreover, they were jointly commanded by the LOGOS, so it was understandable that the brigadier general was so polite to Xiao Ran.
Very few people in the alliance knew about Xiao Ran's true identity under the mask. However, as the most tyrannical demon in the previous battle, he dared to say that he would kill anyone who made trouble and dared to say that he would hunt them down for thousands of miles regardless of the cost. Thinking about it, he was not an easy person to deal with. Although those who knew Xiao Ran's true identity knew that Xiao Ran's memory had been altered, the change in memory did not mean that his nature had changed. Therefore, even the upper echelons of the alliance would avoid the current Xiao Ran when they met Xiao Ran.
They couldn't be bothered to put on a friendly face in front of Xiao Ran. Everyone knew that Neo was Xiao Ran right now, and Xiao Ran was the kind of person who could be persuaded by reason but not cowed by force. If you want to give me a hard time, then I'm sorry, but don't expect me to be nice to you at all. If you really want to cause a scene, Xiao Ran could just slap you across the face and not be responsible for them. After all, the Phantasmal Pain squad was too special, and Xiao Ran's real identity was too special. Xiao Ran's real identity was also very useful to LOGOS, so they couldn't blame Xiao Ran for anything.
Prometheus arranged such a background for Xiao Ran as a form of compensation for forcibly changing his identity. After all, no pain, no gain. This was the basic rule that Prometheus had always followed.
After Xiao Ran and he sat down, the bald Brigadier General said in a praising tone, "Senior Colonel Neo has put in a lot of effort to save Earth this time. Before you came, I already read the report and information provided by Ian Lee. Senior Colonel Neo's MS piloting skills are really amazing, and you even obtained such important information. The fall of Juneus 7 was not natural, but man-made. Although we still don't know how it has to do with ZAFT, the fact that you seized the airframe, stopped Juneus 7's fall, and obtained such important information is already known to HQ. Senior Colonel Neo will definitely reward you accordingly next."
In response to the bald Brigadier General's politeness, Xiao Ran naturally treated him kindly. He smiled and said, "As a member of the joint army, it's my duty to stand up when Earth is about to suffer losses. But speaking of rewards, if HQ really wants to reward me, I hope they can provide me with a suitable airframe. The test airframe I drove before was almost scrapped after only one use. I don't want to drive that airframe in the next battle."
"Hahaha, it's all because Senior Colonel Neo is too amazing. But it's only a test airframe to collect data, so it's normal that it can't keep up with Senior Colonel Neo's strength. But speaking of airframes, who doesn't know that the Phantom Force has the most airframes? But since Senior Colonel Neo has made such a request, it would be unreasonable of us not to respond."
The bald Brigadier General stood up with a smile, walked back to his desk, and picked up a small computer. When he came back, he handed it to Xiao Ran. "It just so happens that Earth also captured an airframe that seems to be of the same series as your target when you were on the mission. It just so happens that it hasn't been assigned to a specific pilot yet. In that case, HQ will make the decision to hand it over to you."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows in surprise. It was just a casual request, but he didn't expect the other party to decide to hand over an airframe to him without even thinking about it. Xiao Ran even thought that perhaps even if he didn't mention the airframe, the Federation would have arranged an airframe for him to use.
When Xiao Ran looked at the data on the small computer, a look of slight surprise appeared on his face. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he thought, Aslan, I really do have an affinity with you. I inherited your airframe before, but who would have thought that we would end up together? But why is it this airframe?
When the bald Brigadier General saw the expression on Xiao Ran's face, he nodded slightly and said, "This airframe was captured from ZAFT. Because it was damaged during the battle, it is currently being repaired. This airframe's internal code is RGX-04, and the three airframes you captured during this mission are also RGX-01, 02, and 03."
Xiao Ran nodded while carefully looking at the airframe on the small computer screen. This airframe was mainly black with white stripes. The data also clearly stated that the airframe had a transformation function. There were many standard weapons, but none of them were Xiao Ran's most proficient weapon, the Dragon Knight.
RGX-04, Gundam Savior
Power Supply, Battery Energy Pack
Equipment Characteristics: PS Armor, Deuterium Nuclear Beam Power Supply System, Transformable Structure, Flight Ability within the Atmosphere
Fixed Armament: 20mm Balkan Cannon, Shoulder Plasma Converging Beam Cannon x2, Backpack Beam Cannon x2, Back Beam Cannon x2, Back Beam Cannon x2, High Energy Beam Rifle, Air Shield
This Gundam Savior was exactly the same as the one Aslan was about to receive. The only difference was that the airframe that would be delivered to Xiao Ran was the prototype, while the red Gundam Aslan received was a second airframe assembled based on the data and parts of this airframe. There was no difference in performance, and the armament was exactly the same.
Xiao Ran shook his head with a smile. He really didn't expect this airframe to fall into his hands. To be honest, Xiao Ran didn't really care much about the Gundam Savior's airframe, and it wasn't rare to him either. After obtaining the series of airframe derivative blueprints from the librarian, he already had all the data on the Gundam Savior. Even if he didn't have the Justice Gundam, he could still use that data to build his own Gundam.
However, Xiao Ran felt that having this airframe for temporary use was more than enough. When the bald Brigadier General saw Xiao Ran's expression, he smiled and said, "Although this airframe hasn't really been tested yet, I'm afraid it still can't match Senior Colonel Neo's skills if we just hand it over to him like this. That's why our technicians in the factory are still making corresponding modifications to this airframe. It just so happens that we can borrow the data from the Sacred Shield Dagger test airframe to prepare a new airframe that truly matches Senior Colonel Neo's skills."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows and nodded with a smile. "I'm looking forward to it."
"To be honest, this airframe was originally intended for Senior Colonel Neo's use. I'm just offering it to Senior Colonel Neo in advance. I hope Senior Colonel Neo doesn't mind." The bald Brigadier General chuckled. "However, it will still take some time to complete all the modifications. For the time being, there aren't any other missions assigned to Senior Colonel's unit, so Senior Colonel can move about freely in the base during this period. You can also take a break while you're at it. By the time Senior Colonel finishes analyzing the three mechas you stole, I'm afraid this Messiah Gundam will have to carry out a new mission."
After that, the bald Brigadier General asked Xiao Ran about the details of the mission. In addition to the report that Ian Lee had provided on the way here, the entire mission process was provided in great detail. After they were done talking, Xiao Ran took the initiative to bid farewell and returned to the Gadi Lu.
Although the bald Brigadier General smiled at Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran knew that the way the bald Brigadier General treated him was just a facade. He never thought that the bald Brigadier General would really place him in an important position. The only thing the bald Brigadier General cared about was his strength and influence on Aube, not just on Aube, but on the entire world.
Xiao Ran was not sure if the alliance had already decided to hand over the Messiah Gundam to him or if it was a last-minute decision. He knew very well that it would not be long before the alliance launched another attack on PLANT. They would use PLANT's deliberate creation of Eunius 7 as an excuse to start another war. If it was really a last-minute decision, then the subsequent attack on PLANT was probably part of their plan to get him to contribute to the battle.
