"Evidence... Evidence... Calm down and think about it, and you'll conclude that there's not a"

Taro blurred as he slept on the bridge of a fast ship for mobility and put his bent legs on the seat. The narrow bridge, which was only about three metres square, had three people, Taro, Xiaomei and Mar, each of whom had time to reach their destination looking bored.

"The connection between the facility and the Mercenaries, right? You must be turning it off perfectly if it's not even a dumb one. I think it's pretty thorough because I can't find Alan or Phantom in the first place."

I guess the unfamiliar seat is unpleasant, Marr said as he moaned. Besides, Taro agrees, "I don't know," but he couldn't have given up.

"Mr. Taylor when. I say to the evidence and to one mouth, the trace of things is really ambiguous. To what extent is the evidence requested by Gigantech Corporation?

Xiao Mei, who is working on the ship on the seat at the beginning, said with her neck only facing back.

"Mm-hmm. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter if there's a proper connection. From the situation data, it's impossible for an unrelated human to be in the universe over there. If you just pretended not to see it, you said it was okay. I don't know if it qualifies as a big company. It seems to be a good enough reason to declare war. Gigantech is too motivated, isn't it?

Taro speaks with a reminder of the fine arrangements decided after the talks. When I heard that, Marl showed me how to think with his index finger on his cheek.

"I know very well that Enigma is awesome, and I know Gigantech would like that. But I doubt that's all you can do to move so far aggressively. We're not supposed to be at war with another company in over ten years over there, and just starting a war doesn't seem like a great disadvantage?

"Yeah, yeah, what the hell. I did a lot of research during the meeting, but at that point, I felt hopeless. I know you don't have to do that in the first place, but you're basically pretty cautious about war."

Marr was right, the last time Gigantech fought the war was twelve years ago. The subject is a brokerage firm that has illegally carried out large-scale exchange operations and whose directors have been replaced in total by Gigantech Group employees in post-war indemnity. The astronomical losses lost in exchange operations were in the form of repayments with 288 loan repayments remaining.

"It's not as good as it used to be, but it's still bigger than our Alliance population just because of the number of full-time employees. Are we sure there are about 400 million people now? If you're a small company, you're in bankruptcy."

Did Rising Sun imagine the painting to which it was subject, Blurring and Trembling Marl?

"400 million or something, it's too big to imagine. $1.2 million at the Mercenaries, right? Four hundred times over there, twenty thousand times of ours? Oh, my God, 20,000 times. I don't even feel like competing."

I had the feeling that if I was going for Taro as a man with boring pride, I'd be at the top, but I wasn't so optimistic that I thought I could make this much difference.

"If luck continues in about 500 years and all the other companies continue to be unhappy, I wonder if I should be around teenage Ichijo"

"Oh, I wonder if I can do a second generation."

"Don't tell me! Don't say that!

Taro holding his ears with both hands and twisting his body. My body floats in recoil and floats puffy toward the ceiling. The ship's gravity control equipment was switched off to prioritize the output of engines and drive devices.

"This is just an anticipation, though"

Xiao Mei opens her mouth. She did a roughly unrobotic trick of leaning her neck and looking up at the ceiling.

"Xiaomei thinks it's probably a popular take. Enigma and the punitive war on the example facility will, if successful, greatly increase Gigantech's stock."

Xiao Mei speaks as if it were natural. Taro said, "If you're popular, you already are, aren't you?," she shook her head gently.

"If we are to consider it as an absolute value, it will undoubtedly be the highest peak of the galaxy. Apart from the Imperial Army, which is the largest organization in the galaxy, there are no glaring drawbacks to this. It can't be unpopular. But in terms of relative values from the past, we think it's clearly declining in its current progression."

A little plum to say pizza off. But Taro leaned his neck against it. Because when I checked Gigantech beforehand, I didn't see any such information.

"The biggest company in the galaxy has the biggest responsibility in the galaxy, Mr. Taylor. Over the past few years, the galaxy has seen the collapse of the neural net, the wind crisis and major incidents continue to take place. However, the military accomplished the feat of rebuilding the neural net, albeit small and inconvenient, while the Gigantech Group has not shown such activity. Of course, I'm sure we continue to contribute more to society than any other company in the galaxy, but people are the ones who appreciate more visible and understandable outcomes."

Xiao Mei, stating his thoughts even so, said, "No?" But I've turned my gaze to what I said. Taro took it with a bitter laugh and said, "Are you really AI or something?" I swallowed the word.

"In short, we are going to do something about the presence that is getting low... I wonder if there is a way to think about it. It's important to have a reputation as popular as becoming a big company. That's where the Mercenaries are serious about us, and the bigger Gigantech group is probably more pronounced."

I said it in a way that Marl was convinced. "Maybe so," Taro agreed, but stopped taking the idea any further. Not that I'm not interested in Gigantech, but the impending situation scattered my consciousness.

"Whatever Gigantech's intentions are, if you're willing to cooperate, that's fine. Problem is proof, proof. That doesn't mean we won't be able to cooperate in the end... and we don't have enough defense right now."

Loans from Gigantech, Inc. obtained under the terms of entering into a post-war contract for the occupation of Enigma. A fleet created by it and a fleet consisting of prostitutes. There was only an increase in the power of each total of 100 ships, but it was nevertheless greatly lacking to interact with the dispatched fleet of the Mercenaries, which would eventually come.

"Except for two battleships, those two fleets are basically full-module types. I wonder if the actual battle force would be one fleet conversion."

Full modular standard ships, all made of general-purpose compatible parts, have the advantage of having a short period of proficiency due to training, easy production and everything from the price of itself to the cost of maintenance is cheaper. However, in terms of combat power, it was really lower than normal ships, and was often estimated to be roughly 70% in terms of power ratio. That drops even further when prostitutes and mercenaries treat them like this one.

But when it came to aligning a fleet of one normal standard of normal formation - there may not be a battleship - consisting of Battleship 1, Secret Service 5, Cruiser 15, Destroyer 30, it was not very much, but not enough time. Taro had received reports from Phantom that the Mercenaries were on a steep pitch to prepare for war, a situation that was not strange when they had already fought.

"I guess so. Especially since the Eighth Fleet seems to be devoting considerable space to the emergency exit device relationship, and it hasn't. You'll hit a bee if you complain............ hmm? What is that?"

Taro pointing across the window. Marr has turned a surprise glance at "what" as Taro pointed ahead.

"That moving light body, right? There's no response to the various sensors. Ghost."

"Ghost...... oh, is he such a deviant vagina guy? There's no window in the plum."

When Taro spoke convincingly, he took a serious look at the strange phenomenon caused by the delay in the speed of light. The ship's sensors indicated that nothing existed in the visible position of the light body, and there was no further possibility of a stealth ship than the camera capturing it.

"Sometimes the speed of light feels slow because of the size of the universe. Without the drive particles, I'm sure the empire wouldn't have grown this far."

Said Marr in a smudged manner. And after a while, the light body beyond the window disappeared somewhere with the blue light.

"The distance to the light point is approximately 1800 light seconds. What you saw earlier was about half an hour ago."

Xiao Mei said as a matter of course. Taro hammered "Phew" and an unmistakable hammer at it.

"You say well that the stars you see now may no longer exist. You actually do, don't you?

"Yeah, right. But now that all the sensors are flying the drive particles to find out, few people care about the deviation. Xiao Mei, is there something appropriate?

After Marl's words, Xiaomei silently says, "Please wait a moment". She pointed to one of the stars that looked across the window after a while.

"Do you see that tiny red star? That's a star that once existed 6.5 million light years before its current location: DAC_KLL55652. It has been confirmed that it was extinguished by a supernova explosion about two million years ago, so you can see it with your eyes, but it's a virtual image that doesn't exist in real life."

As Xiaomei waved her hand toward the window, the camera showed the captured footage on the window, which eventually zoomed up the red and blurry light point.

"Six and a half million light years is a distracting level of distant galaxy. With super light speed particles, you know what's happening so far away..."

"Right. But the drive particles aren't technically faster than the speed of light. It jumps through the space, so it's just super light speed on the look of it."

"Uh, I'm not interested in that kind of difficulty, so I'll be fine. I don't think you understand."

When Taro said so and waved, he stared at the stars the light would draw, which must have come far from the other side.

Even the Galactic Empire was enormous at a level beyond comprehension from the Taro of earthly origins, but the breadth of the universe transforms even that into just a tiny being. Countless galaxies make up a galactic bloc, which gathers even more to create a supergalactic bloc. And countless galactic clusters have created a strange structure called the Galactic Filament, which seems to continue indefinitely in every direction observable.

Considering that there would be intelligent mass organizations like many galactic empires in those galaxies as well, Taro was filled with unspeakable wonders.

"Watching the stars like this makes most of the information that comes into your eyes come from the past...... strange...... is that it?

Marl, who was speaking with a lucid eye, glances at him as if he noticed something. Taro looked at her neat side wondering what was going on, but the next moment I thought of what she noticed, and her body was stiff and strong.

………………

Silent hours pass and the tinnitus begins to mix with the heavy bass emitted by the engine. Taro opened his mouth toward Xiao Mei as he turned around his face.

"............... Dr. Komei, I have a question"

Taro wrinkles between eyebrows with a serious look and lets you fight the various possibilities in your head. "I don't know, Mr. Taylor," replied Xiaomei in a manner he was good at.

"Well............... if that's the case. If you overdrive five light years away from the star there, you'll see what it looked like five years ago, right?

"Affirmative, Mr. Taylor. However, because of the distortion of space and something due to gravity, such as various objects, it is technically somewhat different. It's going to be obscure, depending on the distance."

"Is it a guy named Noise......... and by the way, does removing it require any expertise? Can you do Xiao Mei?

"Affirmation, and denial, Mr. Taylor. Ray Tracking Noise Removal (Late Racing Noise Reduction) will require a fairly advanced knowledge of astronomy. Unfortunately, Xiaomei doesn't have that much expertise. Rather than -"

Xiao Mei laughed when she stopped talking.

"Don't our people have a leader in that path, Mr. Taylor? What he's looking into is the world of the past itself."

To Xiao Mei's point, Marl said, "Yes!" and stood up.

"Dr. Aljimov would have enough knowledge! I'm not an archaeologist!

Marl looking excited. Taro nodded silently over and over to it, "Xiaomei, what do you need!," he uttered. Take that and show how Xiao Mei conceived "Right".

"First, we need the exact date and time that the Mercenaries ship stopped at the example station. Next, detailed celestial information about the Zeid peripheral universe for noise removal. Light information spreads radially, so observations in several places are likely to be desirable. You should also ask a third party, such as a Gigantech expert, to act together to prove that the observation is not fraudulent. There are two issues at the moment. The need to find a relationship between the ship and the Mercenaries and the fact that a huge amount of calculation will be required to remove the noise"

Xiao Mei answered with the usual clarity. And then Marl opens his mouth with a foreword, "The ship is."

"In any case, you must have access to the Mercenaries' home or related facility. I don't know if it's direct or indirect, but that's not the problem. Because people are not information, something that needs to be physically transported eventually. Absolutely traceable. As for the calculations..."

Marl looks at Taro. When Taro received that gaze, he slapped his own chest vigorously.

"That's what I'm good at. Leave it to me."

Taro laughs. "Hurry up," he continued, beginning to steep the ship toward the system where the Doctor was.
