Me, Her, and the Ballistic Weaponry [Antique]

War.

For Taro, who lived in a peaceful 21st century Japan, that was merely a word that announcers in television uttered. The wars learned during compulsory education, even the newest, were a distant event in the days of Song Grandfathers.

"War...... uh, what am I supposed to do? Turn back?"

Normally, Taro moves his hands without a location. He is bewildered by those words, which do not involve a sense of reality, but the countless wreckages that appear on the monitor make reality appear.

"" No, I'd rather you rush ahead. The Alliance moves without me, but the route cannot be helped without the help of Mr. Taylor and his men. ""

Even though Lynn on the display says so with a sad look, she continues with a clear voice that feels the core.

"" Alliance territory is vast and the battle will undoubtedly be a long battle. It will not remain replenished in the current closed system, so it will be necessary to develop a route as soon as possible. Mr. Taylor, please, you're right. ""

Beyond the monitor, Lynn lowers her head deeply. When the proximity noticed him was in a hurry, he began to bow his head just like one after the other.

"Yes, no. Wait a minute. Well, I know how you feel. It's not like I'm ready to give you an instant answer... can I have a moment?

Once Taro turns off communication without waiting for a response, he connects the internal communication with the hangar hold room.

"Alan, did you hear that? Something great has happened. What am I supposed to do with this?

"" Whoa, I was listening. What do you want? ""

"Well, here we are... Sora Dingo shouldn't be, and more importantly, because the two remaining observation points are the territory of the EAP Alliance. I don't even think Dingo's gonna let me honestly investigate."

Taro had exchanged various promises with Lynn in return for building a trading line, but the handover of observational data was also included in it. When the EAP Alliance realm is in the hands of Dingo, it has to act while asking about Dingo's complexion.

"" I'm sure it depends on the negotiations. The man in that hand can be sincere about promises. Anyway, if we're going to engage in intercompany warfare, we need to make it clear where the Union stands. ""

"Ugh... keep the supply line on the EAP side." We have nothing to do with the war. "

"" It would be natural. In this case, it's likely to be a big part of winning or losing. ""

"Mmm," he roared to Alan's return, "a tall man who thinks in arms.

To be honest, I do find myself hating Dingo for his scattered eyes. But when people ask me if I want to kill them, that's not all. Because no one in my crew was killed or threatened. In addition, Taro possessed only military knowledge, but he was not a soldier, and he did not have a brocade flag called an order of the state.

"Um, no. Let's not. If it goes to war, a lot of unrelated people will die, and I don't like taking on that one stick. Above all, employees can't get involved."

When Taro makes that decision with regret, he tries to reach for the Income call button. Then there's Alan's short voice, "" Why? ""

"Why, no, no. War, huh? You bet each other's survival, don't you, Patsy? You don't even want to kill every employee, and more importantly, you don't want to be killed."

"" Hmm. You're right about the killing and killing, but there's no other way to defend yourself. But you, you don't care what happens to people in the Alpha system? If Dingo expands, he'll definitely come to Alpha. What about the employees there? ""

To Alan's point, Taro unloads the hand that was lazing at the incense. She opens her mouth as she turns her gaze to Marr for help.

"I'm basically the opposite of you. But if you're going to attack me from the other side, I'm willing to intercept you. I don't know how to say a lot of irrelevant people die, but at least employees are joining the company knowing that. You know that too, don't you?

What Marr is saying is the recruitment requirements for new hires, which he revisited when he decided to head into outer space. It said something about the fight against Wynd and the possibility of getting involved in a dispute between companies, a requirement that everyone would have signed, except for employees who had been there since the early days.

"That's right...... but what's up? They told you to shell Dingo's station, and you can't mar it?

"It's not like you can. I mean, why would you do that?"

"It's an instant answer!! I don't know, because you..."

"Mr. Taylor" and Xiao Mei break in where Taro tried to continue.

"We've been listening to your conversation, but it seems like something big is going on. Mr. Taylor at times. May I ask what you think of the war?

To Xiao Mei's voice, Taro raises a single eyebrow about what you're talking about.

"If there's a war, you're just like I said. Two states... uh, should I say it's a force here? That's the guy who wants us to settle for each other in battle. The truth is, only the military will fight each other, but we've actually got a problem. Sometimes urban areas can be a battlefield, and production bases can be targeted first."

Explain that, Taro waiting for the other person to react. Marl, who inexplicably frowns, answers with his neck tilted.

"What the hell is that? If you do that, a lot of ordinary people will die. Is your war that bad?

To Marl's return, Taro just makes a surprising look. And he said something was wrong. He prompts Marr to follow by turning his hand around.

"All space stations and stargates registered first class on the neural net. And all imperial subjects. These are all assets of the Galactic Empire. Except for a Corp employee who's in the war, but if you hurt anyone else, the Imperial Army won't shut up. There was a previous incident where some Outlaw Corp blew up a rival Corp small station, but three days later, an Imperial Army main unit came and destroyed all of that Corp. Literally, everything"

Taro listens to Marl's explanation with a pompous face. Marl continues with a surprised look, wondering if he's really listening.

"The war... in your case, should I say," The war between the coops. "Basically, I don't participate except as a member of an engaged organization. Sometimes factories and backs are attacked, but they don't usually break them. What are you going to do if you destroy what you're trying to take?"

Taro gives Marr a short "sooo..." which often makes her say something back in her head. There is apparently a great dissociation between Taro's known common sense and that of the Galactic Empire, although this is one unpretentious fact. When he realizes clearly that he is an iceman, he decides to change his mind.

Breathe loudly, and vomit.

Taro manages to make his head clear that he's going to put it up, and he decides to be small and ready.

"Because we have a galactic empire, we have different forms of war... hey Lynn, this broken stargate is not a first-degree stargate. What?

"" Yeah, right. This is the property of our EAP Alliance, so it becomes a third tier. ""

Lynn with the eye of anticipation. Taro nodded at Lynn's response, this time continuing with "Mr. Bella".

"If there is a war, is it possible that Dingo will attack Alpha soon?

"" Oh, you got motivated, boy. That's right. Compared to the EAP Alliance, our union is small and small. Dingo wouldn't be stupid enough to split his power back and forth, so if he did, he'd be after eating the alliance. ""

"I see... Alan, let me be honest with you. Which dominates, EAP or Dingo?

"" Dude, I'm an ex-military, but I'm not a military scholar... hmm, right. It's out on the neural net. In terms of economic power, it's a 7-for-3 win for EAP. But even with the money, we can't buy a ship. Now, we'll lose first. ""

"Heh heh heh heh..." That's a big responsibility. "

Taro emits at. To Taro's words, Lynn gives a dazzling and bright look. Shoulder down disappointed, however, at Taro's assertion that he would not participate in the war, which followed shortly afterwards. "We are," Taro continues, looking sideways at Lynn like that.

"We're just going back to the local Alpha system. Nothing more or less. Even if the EAP Alliance ships sneak up on us there, we don't know that. I happen to have the top of the EAP on that ship, and it might happen that the aisle would be perfect for a trading route."

Taro whispers out loud. Marl and Xiaomei laugh and hope lights up Lynn's face again.

"If a dog bastard comes by obsessively, he basically doesn't know. But if there's anything coming at us..."

Taro scratching his cheeks with a puffiness. Eyes stare at the sky blurred.

"Well, you have to. I'll take the declaration of war and stand up for you."

Leave the destroyed Stargate, about half a day later. In the middle of a room tightly locked with thick doors, there is one shadow that stands still. Another shadow walks over there and stops gently beside him.

"Mr. Taylor, you know what I'm trying to say?

Xiao Mei speaking slowly, with no expression. Dim lighting creates a shadow in her face, dark, sunken and visible.

"Well. And then you're like," Why are you doing that? Mr. Taylor "!

When Taro dares to behave brightly, he points his finger at Xiaomei and shows her. Xiaomei stares at that finger with no expression, shifting her gaze to the override device that looks beyond Taro.

"The overdrive you use is separate from that one, Mr. Taylor. But you're right about what you want to hear. Is Earth what you want to find?

To Xiao Mei's question, he shows Taro waving his finger a little.

"It's not just for the planet. Even so, he's the president. For everyone's sake... no. Yeah, I'd say it's for your own good, though. I'm scared."

Taro softly touches it as he approaches a strange frozen sleep device with an override feature.

"Blah, blah. You want to throw it all out. You think someone died or had to kill someone because of their own deficiencies? You know, I can't stand it. If there's anything you can do in advance, you should do it, right?

"... if we don't talk about it beforehand, Miss Marr will get angry again, won't she?

"No, you'll never allow me to say it. Marr... well, if you can..."

Xiao Mei raises one hand and controls the continuation of Taro.

"I'm not going to tell anyone, Mr. Taylor. Knowledge of civilian military in general, are you sure you want to override that?

"That's bad," said Taro, looking at Xiao Mei's face without a facial expression. He quietly closes his eyes as he lowers his back to the frozen sleep device.

This time, I didn't feel any pain.
