"" Damn, it looks like a pretty fast boat. We can't catch up with destroyers! ""
"" Don't think about chasing me. The opponent is a small fast ship. Turn the frigate into a siege with a micro-overdrive. ""
"" RS-44 has been breached! It's not just a businessman move! ""
Interaction inside the fleet heard from the comms. Taro was aiding in the calculation of the coordinates of each ship with BISHOP, staring at the radar screen. When it comes to short-range acceleration battles, minutes are bad for high-mass battleships.
"Whoa, what's going on? Nicely taken by the balls. Bella's the only one who's good at hunting things down..."
Cold sweat flows. There is no damaging damage at all, and I don't see what a small ship can do to a fleet opponent. But the fact that they have so many good pilots means that they are a fairly skilled organization.
"Hmm. This is not a good idea, Mr. Taylor"
Xiao Mei fanned the large screen with her hand. Then a point arrow appeared, pointing to the cosmic realm away from the star Garda.
"If you stay like this, you will be fled to the interstellar universe. If the target ship has some stealth capabilities, it will be difficult to find them."
"The fact that you're on the run is probably on. Can't we have Etta?
"It won't be impossible, it will be a level story. If you stop the engine completely, the radiation itself will hardly happen. Anyway, it's a very small boat."
"Seriously. If you jump, we'll be able to capture them in the siege... but I don't think so. I knew if I jumped, I'd get caught."
Taro began to wonder what was wrong when he struck one tongue at the irritation.
You can't leave them alone more than they realize this one exists. Hiding until the opponent surrenders is also unlikely as an option. It will be weeks before they run out of food and supplies to sustain their lives, and they will be away from the Alliance for a long time.
"Hey, why don't you just encourage me to surrender. Because you know exactly what you're doing, don't you think you're gonna take your life without a question?
Suggestions from Marr. "Sure," Taro muttered, sending a communication request to the other person. If I hadn't responded, I would have sent a message unilaterally.
"Well, I don't think I'm leaving."
Not to anyone, Taro. But unlike his expectations, communications were quickly connected.
"What, connect............ ohon. Uh, tell the small boat there. You are completely besieged and stop wasting resistance. Maybe there's room for negotiation now?
Taro spins the word that we have no choice but to call on him more than we have connected. From the side, "Why are you doubtful?" Marl's sidelines enter.
"Shut the engine down now............ are you listening?
"" ……………… Oh, I'm listening. But you're surprised. Is that Taylor? ""
"Shut up - and say, yeah!?
Taro accidentally raises a barbaric voice to a familiar voice. I didn't think so. When I emitted the identification signal, I returned a signal that I remember without getting my hair in.
"Fa, is that Mr. Phantom? What are you doing here?
"That's our dialogue. I wouldn't have been on the scheduled route here. I'm on my way."
When the signal pointing to the small ship stopped moving, it began to move in the opposite direction. Taro looked around to see what was going on, but he didn't have a single face that seemed to know the answer.
"Hey, I'm glad you didn't have to run for Bella's fleet. That collaboration is like one creature. I don't think we can make it through."
Phantom, who showed up in Plum's lobby, said so with a laugh. When he walked over with a gentle salute to the gathering, he sat down on the couch looking somewhat tired.
"My gift is collective control. Did you forget? It's not like one creature actually."
Bella returned it as she sprinkled the cigar. "More than that," Taro opened his mouth, thinking it might be better to put smoke exhaust equipment on the lobby, etc.
"What the hell is going on? It's like it's not even on the map. It's like a despicable place. What brings you here?
Phantom clasped his shoulders to Taro's doubts.
"I got some information that might help, so I made sure it was credible. I can't even pelican you. But right. You've gotten past e-mail communications. It's inconvenient."
When Phantom said so, he made one big stretch.
"I somehow guessed the circumstances, but did we have a ship like that?
Taro thumbs toward the cargo where the small fast ship is housed. Plus, "That's personal," Phantom said.
"I want you to listen to me more than that. Whatever brought me here for a purpose, why did you stop by? Can you just give me a break, please?
"No, it just so happens. Etta found it when she wanted to go through, so keep going."
……………………
Phantom with his mouth wide open. Taro explained his insight into being here, thinking that he had seen something unusual.
"- And well, here's the thing. You gonna be okay?
Taro cares so much for Phantom, who has a troubled look while suppressing something between his eyebrows. "No," Phantom waved, laughing bitterly as if he'd given up something.
"Think God of the odds of sitting in the galaxy seems to like you for a long time. I'd like to take the time to let you know how hard I've had to identify this place."
"Aha haha.................."
"Well, fine. More about the vendor than that, but you don't have to look into it. I know who they are."
A word of farewell. A whispering voice rises in the lobby.
"The supplier belongs to the Imperial Land Survey. An institution that originally carried out astronomical observations solely on imperial territory, but now operates everywhere. Sometimes we get surveys on RS territory, don't we?
Phantom turns to Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei nodded one "It's affirmative".
"Once every three months, you have a request from the other side to observe. It belongs to the Imperial Army, so we can't refuse to take surveys, but we won't actually come in."
Xiao Mei answers even. "Why?" replied Bella this time.
"We've already observed it, boy. They'll be accumulating pretty precise data to find the Earth. They're sending that data in a rather subdued fashion. Drain data from key locations or reduce accuracy."
Bella imitates with her hands the hair of Mojamoja, the hallmark of Dr. Aljimov. Alan has answered it ahead of time as he tries to ask the next question even though he thinks it will be more tall.
"Even from them, it doesn't have to be that accurate, Admiral. I just want proof that the other side did the job just in form. Twenty days are scheduled for surveys, for example, to receive measured data from here. The next 19th is a long vacation. We can keep it confidential, and we're getting something from each other."
As a matter of course, Alan. Marl blurred, "You're as rotten as ever," and Taro strongly agreed with it.
"But... the army can't help it, can it? Is there anything we can do?
To Taro's question, Phantom shook his head "No".
"It belongs to the army, as Xiaomei put it, but it's only an external agency. The army just takes the money and lends you a name. Surveying requires access to people's land, and it would be convenient to give them the names of the army, wouldn't it? The truth is, it's a general company, and capital comes from everything else."
When Phantom said so, he stepped out onto the table.
"The capital is a paper company, but following it, we get to a company where we know each other well. There will be a company that is completely unidentified and wants talent that will never be traced back to Daewon, even if it dies or gets caught for a felony."
A voice conceived of quiet anger. An air of no way flows to the scene, silence comes.
"It would be outer space, but it would be slums, but there's always a connection somewhere with someone living there. If we follow it, it will lead us to far, far more human beings than we normally think. But the people here don't have any of that."
Fantom laying his eyes down. Bella opens her mouth to "The Imperial Citizen."
"Whatever happens to people in outer space, they think they deserve it. You wouldn't even care for the amount of outer spacers killing each other. That's for sure. But that's only if we're not involved with ourselves and they're dealing with each other. Ask the citizens of the Empire if they want to kill the outer spacer until they get their hands dirty for something, and everyone will say no. Even the citizens of the Empire have quite an ethic, and they never underestimate human life."
Marl nods at Bella's words.
"In the end, we all just don't know what's out there well, do we? Everyone here is an imperial citizen, except Etta and Xiaomei, and no one has the idea of taking their lives lightly. Even our employees do. So..."
When Marl separated the words, he distorted his face in remorse.
"Mercenaries operating in the center, however small, never want to be able to find a connection to evil. Something strongly influenced by public opinion because it's a big company"
When Marr said that, he must have turned his gaze toward Taro. Taro nodded loudly once when he took it.
"Let's review the strategy in part. The Garda people may indeed be a powerful weapon for them, but they are definitely also a deadly weakness. If you stick it right through here, you can't just defend the Alliance, you can do something."
Taro glanced over at the same face as he slammed his palm against the desk.
"Let me show you something. You're not an outer spacer."
