Hilda, while listening to Lacus, browsed the data.
"Miss Lacus, how did you obtain this data?"
Lacus reached out and took out the earpiece Mikazuki had left for her from her clothes.
"It was Orga. He gave me this data. Mikazuki's Barbatos equipment is very rudimentary. He hopes I can help Mikazuki build his favorite weapon from this data."
"Weapons made of nanolaminate composite material? I've never even heard of the composition of this material, and we just got data on transfer armor from the council, and are currently intensely researching this armor..."
"To be honest, even if we got the data, we couldn't produce this kind of armor. The materials are simply too difficult to find, and there are many more things we haven't even heard of..."
"Hilda." Lacus's tone shifted, making Hilda's words suddenly stop. She stared blankly at her loyal young lady. That kind of gaze...
Lacus said very seriously, "I hope I can help Mikazuki, do you understand?"
"Miss..." Hilda opened her mouth, then finally showed a helpless smile.
"I understand. Can I make the weapons in the data? Like a wrench-mace, a glide cannon, or an arm-mounted cannon?"
Lacus smiled upon hearing Hilda's words.
"Thank you for agreeing to my whimsical request."
Hilda's eyes, the only part of her face visible, showed an expression of gentleness and respect.
"No, it is my honor to help you with your worries. But... Miss, what are the codes behind the Alaya-Vijnana System?" Saying that, Hilda pointed to a small, independent frame on the screen beside her. It was filled with densely packed alphanumeric codes. Lacus tilted her head.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong~?"
Hilda looked at the screen, stroking her chin thoughtfully, and said:
"Yes, this code seems to be for some kind of locked system, and it's encrypted. It can only be opened with permission, a password, or specific conditions."
Lacus lightly touched her delicate cheek and replied with a pained expression: "I don't know. I don't understand MS (Mobile Suit) related things. After Orga gave this to me, I just glanced at it roughly and then put it away. I didn't notice this."
"I see. In any case, I'll take the weapon data and other data for Barbatos. Young Lady, you should keep it yourself. After all, this kind of thing shouldn't be known by others."
The weapons were not made of the same nanolaminate material as Barbatos's armor, so there was no need to worry about this data being damaged. What was more important was Barbatos itself. Nanolaminate armor, Ahab Reactor, and Alaya-Vijnana System. Any one of these, if revealed, would be enough to stir up chaos in this world.
"Alright. After all, I am the only one who knows where Mikazuki and his companions truly come from. I must keep this secret for them, heh heh heh."
"Young Lady, do you know where they come from?" Lacus clasped her hands together, making an apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, Hilda, I promised Orga I wouldn't tell anyone else." Hilda gave a helpless, wry smile. After transferring the weapon data to her personal tablet computer, she said to Lacus:
"Then I'll take my leave now. Please rest early."
"Alright."
Then Hilda left Lacus's room. Lacus disconnected the Haro and the computer, and completely destroyed all remaining data on the computer. Even a formidable hacker would not be able to recover it.
"Mikazuki... I will definitely help you fulfill your dream. That warm place of yours will definitely grasp that wonderful happiness."
On the Archangel, Mikazuki didn't know that Orga had given Barbatos's data to Lacus. Although even if he knew, he wouldn't care. At this moment, he was already lying in bed, asleep.
He had a dream, a dream he had longed for. He found himself in a farmland so vast it stretched endlessly. Behind him was Tekkadan's headquarters. Everyone from Tekkadan was working in the farmland: Atra, Kudelia, Shino, Ride... Everyone had happy smiles on their faces.
Mikazuki looked at the scene before him, mumbling:
"...Is this the place..."
"Mikazuki!"
Two gentle voices came from behind him. When he turned his head, he woke up...
Mikazuki slowly opened his eyes, blinking at the ceiling.
"Is it morning...?"
He didn't know how much time had passed, but then Murrue's voice came from outside:
"Mikazuki, are you awake?"
"Mhm, I'm up."
Mikazuki responded, then sat up. He had taken off his overcoat when he slept, so there was nothing much to tidy. He just picked up his jacket, put it on, and was done. Opening the door, he saw Murrue floating gently there, holding a covered tray of food. Seeing Mikazuki appear, she pushed the tray forward and smiled, "I've brought you breakfast."
Mikazuki quickly took the tray. "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Murrue entered Mikazuki's room, watching him open the tray on the table. Breakfast was all solid food: bread and eggs.
"But why did you come to bring me food?" Mikazuki picked up a piece of bread, bit into it, and asked with confusion.
Murrue smiled and said, "Because we're about to rendezvous with the Eighth Fleet, so... I wanted to ask what your plans are next."
Mikazuki swallowed the food in his mouth.
"I see. If you need me, I'll stay. If you don't need me, I won't bother you."
