Gundam, Gravity Elegy

"Gu..."

Inside the cockpit, Gao Ren practically stuck his finger into his throat.

Perhaps it was anger and hatred, perhaps it was fear and disgust; at this moment, he himself was not quite sure what kind of thoughts were trembling deep in his heart.

But in any case, he had to keep himself rational.

so! !

Send me the information—

His teeth were clenched tightly around his fingers, and the nausea almost made him vomit along with his words:

"Gundam has a learning computer, so its analysis should be faster than yours..."

Author's message

…………

Kara, a character from Thunderlord's Cataclysm, is nicknamed "Crazy Woman," but considering the things she's done, you can't say she's completely wrong in the grand scheme of Thunderlord's Cataclysm.

She herself said that she was perfectly fine being a bit crazy, but the stick-like person managed to cure her and make her remember those messy things.

Chapter 84: The Suppression Command Center

"Hurry up, all of these must be moved."

"Hurry up, what are you standing there for?! Get out of the way!"

"Yes!"

When the almost reprimanding voice finally rang in her ears, the woman finally came to her senses and then, like a startled little rabbit, avoided the menacing-looking soldiers.

Kara Mitchum—perhaps in some parallel universe, this would be a name that would make some 'Southeast Asian cultists' or even the citizens of Side 3 hate her to the core, but now she is just an ordinary researcher engaged in biotechnology.

Her original research focused on exoskeletons, with the aim of helping disabled people reintegrate into society.

However, because her father, a historian, made some inappropriate remarks about the principality's government, he was arrested by Zeon's Commander-in-Chief's Guard (SS) on charges of treason. She had no choice but to comply with the principality's new system, abandon her once comfortable life, and participate in military research in the hope of achieving something to reduce her father's sentence.

Of course, there's nothing inherently wrong with this.

Although it sounds quite unethical, the duchy, which is already at a disadvantage in terms of population and has a shortage of soldiers, naturally needs to bring back wounded soldiers who have had to retire to the second line and logistics to the battlefield in order to maintain the front line.

Reuse Pyscho Device - commonly known as RPD.

It is said to be a technology delivered by an expert from the Federation and integrated with the research results of the newly established 'Flanagan Agency' of the Assault Mobile Force.

Using brainwaves to operate prosthetics—this was the original research project, but it changed at some point.

The Assault Mobile Force internally requested that the prosthetic technology be expanded into MS control technology in order to obtain better data, although the Earth Front Army completely disagreed with opening a corresponding research project, and even the project funding was not approved.

However, the research institute was still established with the support of various parties, and then it became a huge vortex that could drag people into the abyss.

Just the mere existence of this place makes Kara tremble all over, as if a thousand-pound burden is about to crush her shoulders.

Those inhuman devices, those studies targeting human anatomy, and even...

"capsule?"

Just as Kara subconsciously looked around, two large containers being carried by several soldiers passed by.

Just one glance was enough to send a chill down my spine.

Inside the two capsule containers, human bodies, one large and one small, were immersed in a yellowish-green liquid.

They appeared to have their eyes open, but their pupils seemed to have completely lost their focus. Their long hair swayed in the liquid like seaweed, and several cables extended from their heads, connecting to the equipment at the top of the capsule, transforming into visually perceptible data.

"What is this thing...?"

"That's a very rude way to put it."

Before Kara's mind could continue to process what was happening, the voice that reached his ears left him speechless.

Dr. Zong Kexi walked over calmly, and under the cold light in the command room, his expression could only be described as terrifying.

Then he laughed:

"Let me introduce you, Kara."

That weakened, sickly face, piled high with unkempt stubble, and those mouths that could almost be described as 'black and gray', moved slowly:

“Erica—my wife, Elisa—my daughter, is ten years old this year.”

The intimate tone was as if a professor were introducing his closest family member to his colleagues and students.

In a research institute, this would probably make all the young researchers ecstatic.

However, they are now inside capsules, soaking in a nutrient solution that can nourish their bodies and prevent them from decaying.

"how so……"

"Because a high-ranking official in the federal government wanted my technology, and I refused, he put my family members to sleep... but it's not a big deal."

Zongkexi smiled slightly, his yellowed teeth proclaiming a kind of madness amidst the gray and white:

"Sooner or later, they will wake up."

However, the person involved did not seem to notice anything unusual:

"Alright, you should get going now."

He smiled, just like a kind elder.

"Or did you leave something behind? If you want to linger here for a while, that's fine too. Theoretically, the Federation forces won't be able to find this place for a while, so..."

'Boom'

Suddenly, a deafening sound shook the earth, and the supposedly sturdy wall completely melted and broke through under some kind of high temperature.

"Impossible! The metal walls of Base 331 are as thick as those of a warship!"

Amid the soldiers' rising and falling gasps of astonishment, Professor Zongkesi merely raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Wow, it's faster than I expected."

"Dr. Zong Kexi..."

Kara was about to say something when she saw the doctor pat her on the shoulder:

"It's time to go..."

"PhD?!"

In her astonishment, Kara felt a tremendous force pressing down on her shoulder.

Immediately, the frail woman was pushed through the door by the man.

Then, it closed completely.

"PhD!!"

She tried to look at the man, but saw him with his arms outstretched like an actor.

Sorrowful and insane:

"Then, let's meet formally."

Then, they faced the direction from which the explosion came.

On the monitoring screen, at the end of the barrier melted by the high temperature, the billowing smoke seemed to completely obscure its form.

But the next moment...

'Bang'

Those gleaming eyes seemed to depict that tall figure.

Eyes, sunglasses, V-shaped antennae—the black giant was eyeing them menacingly.

"Gundam--"

…………

Gundam.

The black giant was kneeling on the ground, his scarlet eyes scanning the scene.

Naturally, this also includes that seemingly ubiquitous symbol—the Principality of Zeon.

To be honest, even now, Gao Ren still doesn't quite understand what kind of force this is.

An independent nation based on a cluster of colonies?

A local separatist force built around a certain family?

Is it really as the federal government claims, that it is nothing more than an extreme hegemon that has failed everyone's expectations and even its so-called 'citizens' are treated as expendable commodities?

To be honest, Gao Ren didn't know, or rather, he wasn't used to drawing a fixed conclusion about a large group based on just one aspect.

But what is certain is that they have completely lost touch with noble words like 'kindness' and 'justice'.

And that's precisely why...

"The objective is to suppress the enemy command post."

The cockpit doors slowly opened, and the boy's gaze swept straight ahead.

Then, he slowly took out the recoilless rocket launcher that was placed in the cockpit:

"The use of anti-armor weapons is permitted, and all means of attack are permitted before the target surrenders."

'boom'

The next moment, the hovercraft roared and charged into the command post.

"Operation...begins."

Chapter 85: Missing Opportunity?

Admittedly, the Earth Federation has a variety of problems.

Corruption was rampant and powerful elites were everywhere—it was comparable to the Principality of Zeon, where aristocracy was prevalent today.

All those so-called lineages and prestigious families that are put on display and worth boasting about are nothing more than having an extra layer of shell compared to those people.

Even so, the massive Federation still demonstrated its immense strength in this war – logistics.

Not to mention the mass-produced Luna Titanium alloy mobile suits that are already in production, the special mission units now have ample individual firepower—relative to Zeon—as the general offensive is launched.

'Boom'

Light and swift.

The Type 74 hovercraft truck moved swiftly through the wide corridors surrounding the command post. The 20mm autocannon on top might not be effective against heavily armored mobile suits or tanks, but it had an unimaginable suppressive effect on infantry.

At the same time, its role as an all-terrain reconnaissance vehicle also gives it enough armor to serve as temporary cover!

"Damn it, there's absolutely no way to deal with that guy."

Behind the bunker, the Zeon soldiers, forcibly dragged into urban warfare, couldn't help but curse:

"Individual weapons simply cannot penetrate their armor!"

"Then drag them inside the base. The tanks can't get through there, and there are automatic cannons too!"

Theoretically, this idea is not wrong, but they underestimated the Federation Army's firepower suppression capabilities.

"boom"

Just as they rushed around the corner, the black-clad Federation soldiers leaped over using the jetpacks in their combat suits.

Although he appeared somewhat short, the cannons that had already been set up were even more eye-catching.

"Rocket launcher?!"

Stranded in a narrow passage with no way to escape, the soldiers couldn't help but look around, but the absence of even a door made them despair.

"This... there's no way to avoid it?!"

'whoosh'

With a slight tremor, the shell exploded directly on the ceiling, and the sweeping wind and scattered debris blew the soldiers away.
