Episode 38: Pursuit (4)
After Mary sorted out the snatch incident into a report, she came to the bridge with Frey. As a result, she looked at Cacarine with a sad expression on her face.
"What's going on?" Mary asked Aslan.
Aslan pulled Marie aside and began to whisper. It turned out that when the Minerva was resting, Dyrandal found Cacaree. First, he apologized to him and implicated the other party because of this incident; second, he invited the other party to visit the Minerva. As for what Dyrandal was thinking, he probably knew it himself.
When visiting the MS hangar, Cacaree was angry and argued with the other party because of Dylandal's words. The argument was nothing more than being too strong that would cause disputes. It is strange that Cacaree and Lux have been together for so long, but they have never been brainwashed by Lux. So Cacaree has always retained Ob's moderate and even somewhat compromised peace concept.
Just as Cacaree was arguing loudly, a red-clothed pilot suddenly spoke to sarcastically. Cacaree later learned that the person was a survivor of Aubu, and she became depressed. Her father sacrificed for Aubu's idea of equality, but even the people in Aubu slandered his father. How could this not make Cacaree sad? She even felt that her father's sacrifice was a bit worthless.
"That's it. I roughly understand." Mary nodded.
Mary had already guessed who the person who made the sarcastic words was, Shinnong. He was the original national of Aubu, but he lost all his relatives in Aubu's offensive and defensive battle. Therefore, his policy of becoming hostile to Aubu is now even more extreme than anything related to Aubu.
Looking at Cacarine who was still depressed, Mary didn't have a good way to comfort her. She couldn't beat her up. But if a beat she really works, Mary really doesn't mind trying it.
"Capture the traces of enemy ships, with a distance of 8,000!"
Meiling's voice interrupted Mary's random thoughts, shook her head and began to issue orders.
"The combat level is increased to red, and all members are at their highest combat preparation." Mary picked up the communicator and asked to the preparatory squad: "Are there any extra ms?!"
"There is only one Gates r, and the one Zaku you brought with you has not been repaired, and Gene has no replacement accessories."
"Gates? OK, get ready quickly." Mary turned off the communicator and said to Talia: "I'll leave the command to you, and I'll go out too."
"Okay." Talia nodded.
"Then, Mr. Speaker, say goodbye."
After saying goodbye to Dylandal, Mary left the bridge. Before leaving, she smiled at Cacaree and Frey with confidence.
"I don't know if I can stay here." Cacaree asked Dylandal.
"Of course, Asha's representative (Carrie) is our VIP." Dyrandal agreed happily.
Talia had originally disapproved of letting foreigners visit the inside of the battleship, but now she actually got on the bridge, which was a bit too much. How could non-combatants enter the bridge in battle, let alone foreign state guest-level figures?
Talia was about to refuse, but Dirandal added a few words: "You also know that Ashha representative (Carrie) also served as the commander of the warship in the previous war and had a lot of combat experience. I want her to see the battle of this ship for us from this perspective."
Talia opened her mouth and swallowed the words of rejection. Then she looked at Frey standing there with a blank look on her face, and suddenly felt a little headache. Talia didn't know what to do with such a vase deputy captain. But for Mary's sake, Talia decided to ask her to stay in the bridge.
"Deputy Captain Alsta, please go back to your position."
"Ah?!Yes!"
Frey was startled and then sat in the position of the deputy captain in fear. This was the first time she had sat on it.
"The bridge is hidden. Prepare for combat against ships and ms!"
-------
Mary jumped on Gatesr, who had just changed his equipment, and issued an order to the other three.
"Ray stays on standby, and Ma and Luna go out with me."
"I understand!" x3.
After Mary finished assigning, she pursed her lips and felt that she was learning from her sister a little bit dark. She was a little cautious when she was assigned. Leigh was left because of the other party's almost fanatical loyalty to Dylandal. If Minerva was attacked, Leigh would be desperate to protect the warship and indirectly protect Frey, Cacarine and others.
"What about Gates, it's my first time opening this series of ms."
zgmf-601r Gatesr, equipped with twice the MMI-M20s "polluciteix" rail gun, folding equipment on both sides of the hips, needs to be expanded when used. There are two MMI-Gau2 "picus" 76mm close-defense machine guns on the head, and the left arm is equipped with a Ma-MV05 composite shield, and the shield tip is equipped with a beam sword. There is also a Ma-M21g beam rifle.
The biggest inconvenience of this thing for Mary is that melee attacks and defenses are on the left. Mary is used to fighting with both hands during melee battles.
["The ms unit is ready to attack. Repeat, the ms unit is ready to attack."]
After hearing the voice of Meiling on the radio, Mary knew it was time to go out. She twisted her neck gently to relieve her stiff body.
He took the time to look at Luna's Zagu and the Real Pulse Gundam. Both of them used artillery battle equipment. This time the purpose was to destroy the opponent's warships. The purpose of the two was to attack the main attack, and the escort work was left to Mary for the responsibility.
The Zaku Warriors are equipped with the M1500 high-energy long-distance beam cannon and a large-capacity energy tank. The Pulse Gundam is replaced with a gun battle backpack, equipped with these two M2000f "kerberos" high-energy long-distance beam cannons x2; two MMI-M16xe2 "deluge" ultra-high initial velocity electromagnetic cannons; two GMF-394 continuous missile launchers (agm141 "firefly" induced missiles); and two Ma-M80 "defiant" beam javelins hidden in the beam cannons and can be used in combination.
["Mary Ample, Gates, attack on standby. The entire system is started. Start the attack procedure."]
Gatesr has reached the designated position of the catapult, and Mary in the cockpit has also completed the system debugging.
.........
.........
The MS hangar was working in a tense manner. On the bridge, Dylandal was thinking about something seriously when he saw the enemy ship. It seemed that the battle in front of him was irrelevant.
"Is this the unknown warship?"
Inadvertently, Dyrandal suddenly spoke to Aslan, who was sitting next to him.
Aslan has been using a pseudonym after entering Plant: Arex, and his identity is Cacarine's personal guard. So few people pay attention to him, but now Dylandal, as the speaker, takes the initiative to talk to him, which is called Aslan and is very surprised.
"I don't know what the real name is? I mean that ship."
"ah?"
After a sudden question, Aslan couldn't figure it out. He had to wait quietly for Dyrandal's following.
"The name is a manifestation of its existence..."
Luna's Red Zagu Warrior and Real Pulse Gundam ejected one after another, and Mary's Gatesr will also attack immediately.
"... But what if that's just fiction? The name is false, does it mean that existence itself is not real?"
Faced with the occasion of Dyrandal's choice of existentialism, Aslan felt confused. The other members on the bridge also looked at Dyrandal in confusion. However, Dyrandal's next sentence dropped a bombshell.
"What do you think? Arex."
Before Aslan could reply, Dirandal immediately said: "No, Aslan Sara."
.........
.........
["The channel is unobstructed, please attack Gates r."]
“Well…”
Mary moved her wrist and raised her head.
"Mary Ample, Gatesr attacks!"
