Your performance at the space station was outstanding.
Well done, Gray Raven.
You guys are the MVP this time, no need to be modest.
They all retreated immediately after your operation ended, all of them are unscathed.
President, we should move on to today's main topic...
Main topic?
You're right, there's no time for chit-chat with how urgent the next mission is.
It's just exterminating Corrupted as usual.
You can rest before you arrive.
...What precise calculations.
Well then, Celica, give Gray Raven a simple mission report first.
Yes, President.
Gray Raven, you were able to remove the Punishing Heteromer at the space station last time, but sadly, it was not completely destroyed.
I'm sure you have all noticed... It collided with Watanabe's Fenrir and... plummeted down onto Earth.
Speaking of Watanabe... Is he alright?
We've lost track of him but we don't have the resources to form a search party.
Back to the main topic today, Gray Raven, your mission this time is to return to Earth and destroy the Hetero-Core from last time.
I've also deployed other teams on this mission, and this here, is the area that Gray Raven is responsible for.
Akdilek Commercial Alliance... Wait, this diagram, is a train?
The ACA is a special faction that built their empire on the train. They combined Cosmos Industries' Central Purification Filter technology with a train and transformed it into a mobile Akdilek purification system.
Using heavy nuclear fusion reactor as its energy source, as long as the train keeps moving—
The filtration system will block out the Punishing Virus. That's how they can live on that train.
But are there still intact railways for the train to operate on? And the resource supplies...
They already built a massive railway network on the flat Eurasia lands back in the Golden Age—the APUS.
As for resources, they're merchants, they have their ways.
So to put it simply, they trade with forces all over the world by rail to ensure their survival. That's how the ACA operates, am I mistaken?
You're correct. And the main objective of your mission is to find and destroy the Hetero-Core that is currently on the train.
According to the Science Council's detailed analysis, I'm afraid the Hetero-Core is not just simply the multi-form Punishing Heteromer you saw at the space station.
I've already made a copy of the detailed report... Anyway, the Hetero-Core is a very pesky thing.
Even though the ACA still hasn't sent out an official distress signal, we can't just sit here and do nothing.
Commandant of Gray Raven, can I entrust this mission to you?
Then I'll wait for your good news here.
Haha, I didn't know the commandant of Gray Raven could say something like that.
That doesn't sound like what an experienced commandant, someone who gets out of trouble alive every time like yourself, would say. But being careful is never a bad thing.
Well then, Gray Raven, please proceed to the designated location by aircraft after maintenance. Chop chop, everyone! Let the mission begin!
The obstacles on the launch rail have been eliminated. Ready for take-off.
Commandant, your orders, please.
Verifying voice... Fire!
