"This is the third time in the battle, and I have been pitted twice, so it's the fifth round."

"Just the fifth lap? No, which unit are you from? I haven't seen anything like it. Rita looked at Ian's gear, and although it looked a lot like the mobile armor she was wearing, it was two completely different things when she looked closely.

"We're aliens."

"Huh?"

"I'll introduce you to the details later, and kill this host first."

"Okay."

The two men alternated to cover and charge forward, and soon met with the apostolic forces who were 30 seconds ahead.

"This is that Rita Brataschi? Angels of Verdun? Asuka smashed a mimic with the heavy sword in her hand and jumped up to Ian.

"As far as I know, soldiers call me a on the battlefield a lot." Rita hacked a mimic to death and moved on.

“…… emmmmmmmmm According to your record, it's almost the same as calling it a Valkyrie, right? Asuka raised her hand and killed two mimics with a blaster.

"It seems that in the English context, this meaning is similar to that of Valkyrie......" Rita made a big roundabout, stopping her waist and cutting off a mimicry. I don't think they meant to be disrespectful when they called me by that title. ”

“…… Magical context. ”

"See, it's the host."

"Have you moved to this position?"

Slash the antenna of the mimic host with one slash.

"Antenna OK."

Slash at all special mimics within visual range.

"Backup OK."

"Please~" Rita nodded, swung down with an axe, and hacked the host to death.

A group of people, you look at me, I look at you......

"The cycle of reincarnation in this place has been broken?"

"Looks like so."

"Let's go, go home, go home, go home, ......"

Confirming that the host had been killed, Ian and his party happily prepared to return.

"Wait!" Rita stopped Ian. "How do I escape this cycle?"

"Just change your body, I think you seem to have a brain mutation?" Ian looked at Rita who took off her helmet in front of her, she was still a child, although her eyes were a little more vicious.

"Well, my brain has received too many tachyons, and now it has a different structure from the normal human brain," Rita frowned, clutching her head. "Migraines have been bothering me for a long time, but changing bodies or something...... Is it really possible? ”

"When you see your new body, you know it's impossible." Ian tried to scan her brain with psionic energy, and although it looked the same as a human brain, it kept emitting unidentified particles, huh...... It's tachyon, brother, where do you get your energy from? "So, after a while, you come with us, we collect your physiological data, and then start the directional cultivation of your new body, at the cost of your old body, can you accept it?"

"No problem." As she spoke, Rita's tears flowed.

"It's a happy thing, why are you crying..."Ian waved his hand, separating the tears from her face.

The Magic of the Force JPG

"This is our communicator, and if there is an emergency, we can be directly connected. Contact information includes but is not limited to voice, video, mobile phone, etc., which are written in it. Ian pulled out a communicator and gave it to her.

"If you're in captivity for our sake and need to be evacuated, there's a panic button mounted on the inside of your gums, and the instructions are in the communicator." Ian patted Rita on the shoulder... Armor. "Second Lieutenant, your hard days are coming to an end, get ready to live a normal girl's life."

With that, Ian was teleported away in a burst of white light.

"Randomly selected samples are sent to the technical department for research, can the host salvage them? What the? The teleportation chamber is not big enough? Let's expand! If you don't hurry up, let the U.S. military grab it! Did that particle catch it? Can't capture? Linda and Ritsuko were frantically assigning work to the lab.

"There's no way to catch it, it's tachyon, and ordinary matter will be directly penetrated."

"And if you slow it down, it's going to explode. The faster that thing is, the less energy, and the slower it is, the higher the energy. If you capture it and reduce the speed to 0, I'm afraid it's almost like rubbing the singularity to create the Big Bang. ”

"Huh?"

"Fast, fast, that thing is fast."

"Isn't that a special relativity fiction?"

"Obviously, this world is not. I'm afraid that there really exists a faster-than-light universe in this world. ”

“…… A faster-than-light universe? ”

"In the current macroscopic universe, the speed of objects cannot be higher than the speed of light without calculating the expansion of space, right? The hypothetical universe is the opposite, and objects in that universe cannot move at the speed of hell light. ”

“…… unimaginable. ”

"Me too, but now that this tachyon is here, I think we're busy." Naoko lit a cigarette.

"If you don't talk about this, have the others analyzed anything?"

"Vajra's Dimensional Fault Shield can block the erosion of this particle, and now the headquarters is hurrying to work on the Dimensional Fault Generator."

"Don't have a real machine?"

"That's the power of Queen Vajra, and now the Queen can't get out of it. Not long ago they entered the breeding season, and most of the vajra and the queens of several galaxies were mating in the middle of the three galaxies. ”

“…… All right. ”

"Also, give this document to Grace in the Personnel Department, and ask her to find a way to fool this little girl in as a combat instructor."

"Rita Brataschi of the US special forces, an 18-year-old combat genius who has been in the war for 4 years? The world isn't so bad that it needs 14-year-olds to go to war, right? Linda flipped through a few pages.

"......" Ritsuko felt offended.

A few days later, several people met again with dark circles under their eyes...

"According to the anatomy in the universe my sample as well as the following collected debris comparison. All the hosts floating in the universe are host-type mimics, and these hosts are all dormant. ”

"According to experiments on the planet codenamed Proving Ground A, this strange carbon-based creature will modify the environment, transforming the liquid and the land and stones it eats into a green nutrient solution, and this nutrient solution is a great supplement." Naoko said with a phantom limb pain on her face.

"However, the nutrient solution produced by the mimicry of the earth below is harmful to the organisms of this world."

"We commissioned Shinji Ikari to accelerate the catalysis of several ecosystems within a closed timeline to test the functionality of this group of mimics. Shinji Ikari also deliberately asked Lilith to put two tubes of LCL and throw hundreds of thousands of doppelgangers into it to create a sample civilization. ”

"Of the twelve civilization samples, four adopted an attitude of ignoring mimicry, which was not hostile to humans, and the environmental modification gradually changed to the modification suitable for the life of the earth, and the marine pollution and desertification caused by the initial environmental modification were quickly corrected.

The four specimens adopted the act of eviction mimicry, which gradually evolved into all-out warfare, environmental modification to resemble the earth below, desertification of the land, and liquefaction of green viscous nutrients from water resources.

The four specimens attempted to develop the use of mimicry, such as fertilizer, feed, rollers, drilling rigs, etc., mimicry in harmony with humans, and mimicry showed a certain amount of friendly subjective initiative. For example, to understand the aesthetics of human beings, take the initiative to change their shape, so that they can better integrate into human life. The nutrient solution they produce is suitable for a variety of farming industries, and can even catalyze benign variation in livestock and crops, resulting in higher yields and better tasting.

For example, in sample type 1, the final form of the mimicry is a bit similar to the legend of a water monkey in a certain country in East Asia or a sloth that moves faster, and the local mimicry is in harmony with other creatures, which is a bit ugly.

In Sample 2, it appears to be highly similar in appearance to the underneath, but since the civilization sample simulates the medieval era of cold weapons, the mimic tentacles are flatter and more similar to the shape of a sword like a sword blade, rather than the current pointed cylindrical style.

As for sample three......"

Naoko's expression is richer.

"They induced humans to build generators after lighting the steam engine in the sample city-state, and completed four industrial revolutions in 70 years, and now the sample city is more sci-fi than the third new Tokyo of the year.

Ultra-high-speed WIFI covering the whole city, wireless power transmission system covering the whole city, maglev trains running non-stop between cities, skyscrapers that adapt to the environment...

Mimicry has been thoroughly integrated into human society, undertaking almost all the means of production and products of that sample civilization, from nannies to workers, from fertilizer producers to building material producers, from baby care robots to heavy construction machinery, from bicycles to space shuttles, toys to skyscrapers. ”

"The image has gradually changed from a black ball with tentacles and front teeth to a translucent jelly-like creature with various bright colors, and the image of the host has changed to a white plaster building with antennas."

"So, what exactly are they?"

"They are closer to a carbon-based robot used to modify the environment, with an unknown purpose, low intelligence, no hyperspace communication capabilities, no faster-than-light travel capabilities.

According to the reconnaissance results of the reconnaissance team, most of the planets in the galaxy have been occupied and transformed by mimicry, and countless hosts are floating freely in the universe, like dandelions blown away by the wind, falling on the planet and transforming the planet.

As for humans, or other creatures that rebel in the process of transformation, they will choose the ability to go back in time to find a way to eliminate hostility, or completely eliminate the factors that interfere with their transformation of the planet. The humans below, unfortunately, had an unpleasant first encounter with the mimicry, which was either killed by passers-by by the seashore or taken back to the laboratory for autopsy. ”

"And the way of mimicry to transform the environment is too rough, and the mimicry is not good-looking, and naturally human beings shout and kill mimics at the beginning, and mimicry also quickly puts humans in the category of enemies and begins a never-ending war."

“…… So the main reason is that the mimicry is too ugly, and the transformed environment is too ugly, right? ”

“…… It seems that yes, if they are transformed and like a fairyland on earth, they themselves look as cute as Eevee, and they are probably not able to fight at all, and they are all taken home and raised, who is willing to fight......"

"No, I digress, have you found the origin of mimicry?"

"The approximate location of their origin has been determined, and the reconnaissance ship has not yet flown it.

The only thing that is certain is that it was artificially concocted. ”

"And it should be made of silicon-based life, and there are some characteristics on the mimic body that only our silicon-based life can think of." ELS raised his hand to speak.

"Characteristics of the thinking of silicon-based creatures?" Several others thought about it. Indeed, when I was analyzing the mimic sample, I felt that something was wrong, and it turned out to be a problem of thinking mode...
