Chapter 14: Parting Is for a Better Reunion
"Are you sure you want to take this back to Earth? Can't you just go back and buy another one?" Looking at C.C., who was struggling to stuff the Haro pillow into the suitcase, Ade just couldn't help but ask.
"Every pillow is different. I wanted to take it away last year but I forgot." C.C. pressed hard on the top lid of the suitcase, but couldn't tuck the pillow in. She dropped her arm and sighed helplessly, "What are you looking at? Is this not the time for you as a male to contribute?"
"It's not the pillow, it's your clothes are too much. " Ade went up to make a strong pressure on the suitcase, "I wanted to ask before, do you have to change a set of clothes every day?"
"People who ask this kind of question can't find girlfriends. "C.C. hugged her arms leisurely watching Ade finally closed the suitcase, "Very good. Let's go. "
Today is Saturday, the day C.C. should return to Earth. She bought a ticket for nine o'clock in the evening, but now it's already eight o'clock, and C.C. has only just packed her luggage. After years of living together, Ade has long learned to give up discussing everything related to time with C.C. He silently picked up the suitcase and headed for the door, with C.C. following behind with both hands empty.
"It's almost time to part, won't you say something?"In the car, C.C. accosted Ade from the passenger seat.
"I have to concentrate on driving or you'll be late. " Ade kept an eye on the road conditions shown by the navigator so as not to run into traffic, "Whose fault do you think it is?"
"We only see each other once a year, just like the story of Cowherd and Weaver Girl. You are too cold." C.C.'s cold voice didn't contain any enthusiasm, "At least you should show a bit of reluctance."
"Unlike the cowherd and the weaver girl, our relationship is not intimate enough to engage in the act of exchanging bodily fluids."
"You still remember it? Are you expressing displeasure or are you implying something?" C.C. looked at Ade playfully, "When the cowherd and the weaver girl met, they took their children with them and there was no room for them to exchange bodily fluids."
"No more bullshit, here we are."
Fortunately, there are not too many people now. Ade quickly found a parking space. After parking the car, he got out of the car to take out the suitcase, with C.C. quickly walk towards the ticket gate. After the ticketing, there is still a security check, and after the security check, there is still a short walk from the platform, so there is really no time for bullshit. When he reached the ticket gate, he handed the suitcase to C.C., "That's it, call me if you need anything. See you next year. "
"Well, I'll contact you if I need anything. Bye. "Seeing C.C. enter the waiting room, Ade also turned around and went back to the parking lot. Although he said C.C. could contact him through the phone, the two actually never spoke or texted on the phone when they were apart, as if they had reached some kind of tacit agreement.
By the time Ade drove back home, it was a quarter past nine. He looked at the empty living room and inexplicably felt a little cold. She should be in space by now, right?
There was nothing he wanted to do in the evening, so Ade washed up early and went to bed, picked up the book on the bedside table and read it.
At 10:30, he suddenly heard the SMS message alert. He picked up the phone and looked at it. The sender is C.C.. The text shown on the screen is, "Ship hijacked. Britannia. Help. "
It took him three seconds to comprehend the literal meaning, and his thoughts, which were calm as water, were ignited in less than a second. He sprang out of bed, changing clothes as fast as he could while turning on the news. C.C. had been flying between the earth and the moon every year without a care in the world, so he had always thought she was free. Now Britannia is trying to catch her even at the cost of hijacking a civilian spaceship? What the hell are they thinking?! Are they idiots?!
There was no news of any spaceship being hijacked. C.C. was on a large passenger spaceship. If it was hijacked, there is no way that the news didn't report it. Then there are only two possibilities: the other side took control of the communication equipment in the first place, or the other side used Minovsky particles to block communication. Since C.C. could send him the message, it means the former. The other side must have a strong armed force on the spaceship. C.C. is probably being pursued and can not call him in this situation.
"Hide. I'm coming. " - Sending failed.
Damn it! I guessed wrong. They used Minovsky particles! They must deploy at least one warship so that the particle concentration could even block the communication signals. C.C.'s first text message must be sent before the particle concentration rose. Ade grabbed the car key on the table and ran out the door, while picking up his phone and starting to call.
At the same moment, in the power room on the passenger spaceship, C.C. put down the phone helplessly with a big "sending failed" shown on the screen.
The power room was empty except for her, so quiet that she could hear her own rapid breathing. The room was not illuminated, only the phone screen glowed dimly in the darkness, and C.C. was floating with her back against the cold wall, hugging her knees, and her long green hair spreading in all directions.
She noticed something was wrong in the first place and fled the gravity zone, heading straight for the gravity-free core of the spaceship. She was almost discovered several times along the way, until now she is hiding in the power room. Because of the inconvenient long skirt, she fell many times in the gravity zone, and her clothes were scratched. C.C. breathed and thought at random: if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have worn a skirt today.
The thugs were all masked and speaking the international language, but C.C., who had lived in Britannia for many years, instantly heard the other party's Britannia accent. Hijacking a civilian spaceship and spreading the Minovsky particles… was it an instruction from the old emperor himself, or an arbitrary action of one of the princes?
In any case, she could not do anything. The other side had taken control of the whole spaceship, and it was only a matter of time before this place was discovered. C.C. can only pray that Ade sees this text message and is willing to take action.
"I can't believe I'm acting like a princess in a high tower waiting for a prince to rescue me. " she made a sound that only she could hear, "How ironic. "
"Yes! Now! Immediately! " Ade called while parking, "I'll submit the written application later, it's a little emergency on my side. Yes, please, yes, yes, thanks a lot! "
Yes! He finally got the flight permit! Ade checked the spaceship's itinerary, and found that the spaceship was exactly in a place where it had left the lunar surveillance area and hadn't entered the atmosphere. He did not have the evidence in hand to ask for help from the police, and by the time the police found the abnormality of the spaceship, C.C. would have long been killed. Now, he could only try to save her on his own.
"Alice! " There was no one in the hangar but himself, and Hyzenthlays' hatch opened in response to the sound.
"Ade?" What came out was surprisingly not a synthetic electronic voice but a nice girly voice." How did you get here?"
"Alice, your voice?"Ade spoke while taking out the spare pilot's suit in the cockpit and began to change in place, while the changed clothes were shoved back into the place where the pilot's suit was hidden before.
"About that, Ade, I upgraded my voice module and am now able to speak more like a human." Alice's new voice was ethereal. "The vocal line was adjusted by myself with reference to Miss Lacus's voice and Miss C.C.'s voice."
"How do you know C.C.? Forget it, You can explain it later." Now, rescuing C.C. is all Ade could think about and has no time to dwell on this issue with Alice, "Access hangar management system and prepare to strike!"
"Ade, what's happening?"
"You know C.C., so I'll make it short." Changing clothes and putting on his helmet, Ade sat down in the cockpit seat, "Alice, the passenger spaceship C.C. was on has been hijacked, we are now going to rescue her. The enemy is Britannia and they have at least one battleship, most likely with several Mobile Suits. Take all the equipment, you can finally put on a good show today, Miss Music Player. Let's get started. "
"Yes! " Alice's new voice was surprisingly happy, and the fully automated strike program was then activated, "Complete the connection with the hangar management system. Complete the self-check program of Hyzenthlays. The hangar is clear. Start to discharge the air. The air is discharged. The hangar begins to deploy. "
With a loud rumbling sound, the entire hangar ceiling opened from the middle, and the diffuse starlight spilled directly in. Ade looked at the end of the starry sky and took deep breaths, adjusting his slightly tense emotions. C.C. was smart and she must be able to hold on for a good while. With Inle's speed, he must be able to save her in time.
"Complete the check of the Fission furnace, Complete the check of the Neutron Jammer Canceller. Minovsky floating system activated." As if losing the last gravity, Hyzenthlays flew up at Alice's voice. "Start assembling Ferber."
Hyzenthlays flew at an even speed underneath Ferber, which was actually an ammunition depot, and the two machines docked and merged with startling accuracy, "Complete the assembly of Ferber. Begin self-inspection. Complete the check of the Physical ammunition depot. Complete the check of the Beam weapon battery. Complete the check of the weapon system. Complete the check of drones. Transfer the control of the D.R.A.G.O.O.N System. Complete the self-inspection of Ferber. Assembly of TR-4 Dandelion begins. "
Hyzenthlays flew steadily above Dandelion, with the lower part of the hull embedded in Dandelion, and the parts began to ring together, "Complete the assembly of Dandelion. Begin self-check. Complete the check of the power furnace. Complete the check of the thrusters. Complete the check of the solar sail. Complete Dandelion's self-check. Start the overall self-check of Inle. Complete all self-check progresses. Ade, we can go now! "
"Thanks, Alice. I forgot to tell you that your new voice is very nice." Ade piloted Inle out of the hangar and flew low to the outskirts. "This is Adrien Lingus, calling Lunar Flight Control Center for MS flight clearance. "
"This is Lunar Flight Control Center, Dr. Lingus, your request for flight clearance has been approved ten minutes ago."
"Well, Alice, ready?" TR-4 Dandelion's thrusters were ignited, the pale blue flame stream impacted the surface of the moon with a roar, and the black body looked hideous and elegant under the starlight, "This is our first battle, right?"
"No problem, Ade, everything is ready!"
"Then let's begin! Adrien Lingus, TR-6 Inle, launch out!"
