On the island where Zeon's first satellite was named, at a depth of 2,000 meters in a corner of the former nation's capital, a man in a gray coat walked into a gate escorted by two soldiers in Titans uniforms, and when the gate closed behind him, he stood watching the figure swim like a fish in the water---

In the pool in this underground base, a pair of slender and powerful legs kicked hard, and the long veiled golden hair contracted and danced like the tentacles of an octopus when it moved forward with the urging of the body and the current, giving people the feeling that the body in the water seemed to be pushed by the hair. The figure in the water approached the edge of the pool until it seemed to see a man standing on the edge of the pool.

"The reception room in fifteen minutes, or does the general want to talk now?" The woman in the water asked, leaning up and climbing up the edge of the pool with her hands.

But before Titans' commander could reply, the woman who had climbed to the edge of the pool and was throwing her hair back suddenly slipped as she took a step.

"Hey?!!!!!!!!"

【Bang!! 】

"Tell Colonel Hanover and see you in the reception room in 15 minutes." Look at Anne. L。 Hanover floated there like a floating corpse with blond hair like an anemone, Qi Tengyi shook his head lightly and then gave a command to the female lieutenant who had been standing aside.

The female lieutenant bowed slightly, and only when the door behind the general of Titans closed quietly did she straighten up and walk to the edge of the pool, and whispered:

"Miss, Your Excellency the General is gone, you can get up."

The long golden hair was still as motionless as a sea anemone, so the female lieutenant raised her voice a little more: "Miss, I know that with your genetically enhanced hearing, you can hear me through the water!" ”

"Of course I can hear you." The voice that asked Qi Tengyi just now came from behind the female lieutenant.

Fifteen minutes later, inside this underground base of the Titans, Anne. Hanover, dressed in the uniform of Officer Titans, sat neatly opposite Qi Tengyi, smiled and folded one leg onto the other, and waved his hand to the lieutenant behind him:

"Go get me and the general some tea, no earl grey, that thing tastes as disgusting as tea mixed with dish soap."

With Annie. Hanover's energetic posture of folding his legs and fiddling with his long hair was different, and Qi Teng sat as straight as his own beloved knife [Ancient and Ancient God], and the words came out of his mouth as if he had been cut by a sharp blade at high speed:

"I need an analysis, a conclusion, based on your observations in the past few days, is it possible for him to carry out the mission?"

"Yes, and it's not a question of whether he can or not, but in a sense, he has to go." Anne replied as she continued to run her fingertips through the ends of her hair.

"I know you're not going to look at it from a political point of view, so, explain it to me." Hearing Anne's answer, Qi Tengyi leaned forward, pressed his hands on the table as if they were propping on the hilt of a knife, and looked at Anne and said.

"In order to get this guy over, you are about to turn the world upside down, as a T in [Patriot], you know better than me how low the tolerance of the plan is, so I think the last thing everyone wants to see is this guy collapse--- both mentally and physically, but I have to regret to say that he is now collapsing on both sides, and the key to stabilizing him is this mission to Plant, speaking of which," Anne paused, "How is the progress of the Institute, Is there any progress in the study of mutated amino acids? ”

"They seem to have decided to prioritize Samuel's research." Qi Tengyi shook his head and replied.

Stunned, surprised, angry, and finally helpless expressions flowed across Anne's face one after another, and finally those many expressions turned into a burst of happiness and relief, and her spine, which was tense because of Qi Tengyi's answer, gradually relaxed:

"Probably, in the opinion of scholars, looking for an alternative to Arlando. The core of Barkina is always feasible, and the development of related technologies is the priority, heh, I don't blame them, I should be glad that at least you and I are on the same page when it comes to finding answers to the plant first, right? ”

"When it comes to this, I'm still not sure I made the right choice, and while I won't regret it, I'd love to hear the results if your analysis is over."

"After comparing the relevant life data and video records you sent, it is now certain that," Anne nodded, turning on the projection facility in the room, and releasing a lot of data on it, "He is now overly alert when he is awake, very easily frightened, tantrums at every turn, moody, and sometimes very numb to many things; During sleep, not only did he show symptoms of waking up easily, but according to brain waves, he often had nightmares... To sum up, if you had to define his current state, it would be very simple... ”

"Post-traumatic mental disorder... Qi Teng muttered.

“Bingo!!! And it's a very serious mental disorder," Anne snapped her fingers, "and we need not a mental patient, but a warrior, a leader, a hero; In addition to psychotherapy, physical therapy is also necessary to treat this disorder, and this is why he must go to Plant, and why I recommend giving priority to the study of mutated amino acids. ”

Qi Teng looked at Anne silently and nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"First of all, you have to understand the blood structure of the Imperial man and how he survived. Based on the study of captured Imperial captives, we have found that their cells are combined with the nanoscale induction machines we have been using to forge Samuel frames in structures that we cannot fathom, and through a strange mutated amino acid, these little things support their activities by converting the heat generated by the human body through food, the heat received by the human body through the skin, and the heat generated by the human body itself, to support their activities, unlike us who need to inject electricity into the Samuel frame to activate them; While I still can't understand how they convert energy, the way the original Federation used particle accelerators to activate the Samuel frame was undoubtedly extremely inefficient. ”

"Instead of being cast into a dead piece like our Samuel frame, and unlike ours that require electricity and the stimulation of a new human pilot to activate, these nanobots actively circulate back into the Imperial's body, allowing each of them to be connected to an imperial web that I still can't fully believe in. In order to cope with the advantages that this technology brings to the Imperial people in terms of individual combat ability, although we started research, but until the time of the Great War a few months ago, we only completed a little stronger than before--- some nanobots that can be activated for a period of time without the need for high energy consumption and strong stimulation of new human brainwaves... Then, in the last desperation, we handed over a copy of the sample to Arlando through Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). Bakina's hand, and he became the only one who managed to use that sample and survived. ”

"Those nanobots lack the support of that kind of mutated amino acids, and they don't have the support of that unique genetic modification, and they can't fuse with cells, and the end result can only be a large number of destruction of cell walls, damage to various human organs, and finally kill the individual who injected the solution. Arlando. Bakina survived, because I can't fully understand the reason now, those nanobots are all concentrated on the surface of his skin, absorbing the excess heat in his body to stay active, that's why none of the pores in his body survived and couldn't sweat but still have no problems, that's why his skin looks like cooled magma... But even though he survived, those little things still severely damaged his body... ”

• "His hippocampus was severely damaged, which made him more susceptible to trauma; The aminobutyric acid in his brain was affected and severely mutated, contributing to the effects of the trauma; The single nucleotide polymorphisms in his body seem to be distorted, as is his catechol oxygen methyl transposition... He needs a specific gene therapy, a gene therapy that we don't know exactly what we can do right now, he needs Plant technology ... ”

• "If your previous intelligence is accurate, the Plant's tuners were designed from the beginning as the [container] of the Imperials, and their genetic modification existed to accept the cell-level fusion of this nanobot, not for anything smarter and stronger, it was just a by-product, if Arlando." If Barkina can accept the most primitive tuner genetic modification, he will be the most the world has ever seen... ”

Speaking of this, Anne, who had been talking, suddenly stopped and looked at Qi Tengyi, who had been silent:

"So what's the difficulty?"

"The original gene therapy of the adjusters is indeed to allow the human body to adapt to this fusion, but they have gone astray, and they have deviated," Qi Tengyi's hands were propped together, "stronger, more intelligent, and later, because of the instinct of the creatures, they focused all their attention on the genetic locks set up by the empire to deal with the reproduction ability of weapons, and the original gene therapy has disappeared from the Plant itself... ”

"But, where is my [but]?" Anne smiled and gestured a question mark with her hand.

"But there is one more person who knows the key and place of existence of that gene therapy, the original adjuster, the man who [taught] the legacy of the Empire and then died against the mass extinction of the Empire---- George. Green... ”

"And the intel shows that he's waiting at the Plant, so Arlando has to go to the Plant, I'm afraid George. This is also the reason why Greene sent a secret letter specifically asking Arlando to go. Anne pointed to the top of her head.

"Then it's decided, he must go to the Plant," Qi Teng walked out the door as soon as he stood up, "If this matter is resolved smoothly, the spiritual enlightenment will be entrusted to you, [Federation Humanoid Data Terminal], to find the best solution." ”

"Maybe you don't have to wait until then, how about coaching him a little bit before you're ready for him to go on a mission in the Plant?"

“。。。 I'll leave it to you to judge, and he will ask you for his future teachings anyway. ”

Neither Anne nor Qi Tengyi were characters in the original Gundam books, but George. The story of Grimm's association with the Adjuster and the Empire is of course my original and not the original setting of the seed, so please look forward to the moment when the secret is revealed.
