Cosmic Century U.C0078.12.29

SIDE 5 'RUM', Capital Colony Miranda

Compared to the tense atmosphere of some time ago, it seems that some kind of dark cloud is beginning to dissipate.

The source of all this is because of this news.

Zeon sent the Prime Minister to the Earth Federation for negotiations, and the Earth Federation responded positively, and the two sides agreed to hold talks in the lunar city of von Brown.

The date is set for January 1, 0079, and the media advertises that this is like the turn of the century, and the two sides are moving towards the path of peaceful coexistence of mutual understanding.

The year 0079 is the beginning of a new chapter in history.

Zeon sent his country's No. 2 person, and the Federation responded positively, agreeing not to hold talks on Earth, but to place the venue on the moon, and the positive and friendly attitude of the two sides is almost impossible to see the same as the two countries that were tense some time ago.

Although the last meeting ended unhappily and war was on the verge of breaking out, it now seems that there may still be hope for peace.

In the past few days, even in SIDE5, which has been hostile to each other, the 'Federation Dead Party' and the 'Zeon Go Dead Party' have fallen into a brief peace.

The so-called Zeon Dead Party and the Federation Dead Party, of course, are just ridiculous names, but actually refer to the people in SIDE5 who are inclined to Zeon's theory of cosmic autonomy and those who support the Federation, most of the people who support the autonomy of the universe are the middle and low level who sell their labor, white-collar workers or blue-collar workers, and most of the people who support the Federation are people who are from the earth but work in the universe.

The former has the advantage in numbers, but the latter has the covert support of the big chaebols, the government and the federal army, and in general it is a balance of power, and there will be conflicts from time to time in the past, especially when the atmosphere of war was at its highest/climax some time ago, and I heard that the federal dead party has begun to secretly stock up on weapons.

But now it seems that the situation has calmed down, and no one is marching in the streets, and the people who are injured in the brawls that usually appear from time to time are almost gone.

This made Serra, who worked as a trainee doctor at a large hospital in downtown Miranda, feel a lot better.

This good mood was even better after she received a slightly late Christmas gift from her fiancé.

SIDE3 AND SIDE5 ARE STILL SOME DISTANCE, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE A FEW DAYS LATE, BUT SERRA ALSO KNOWS THAT SHE CAN'T FORCE IT, AFTER ALL, SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT HER FIANCÉ LEAR IS IN A PARTICULARLY BUSY STATE NOW, SHE IS NOT THE KIND OF GIRL WHO IS WILLFUL AND WILL FORCE SOME THINGS THAT CANNOT BE DONE, THE TWO OF THEM ARE BLIND DATES WITH NO EMOTIONAL FOUNDATION, AND THEY ALMOST JUST MET, IN THIS CASE, THEY CAN STILL REMEMBER TO SEND GIFTS FOR THEMSELVES, AT LEAST IT PROVES THAT LEAR DOES NOT TAKE HIMSELF SERIOUSLY.

The gift was a video and a pair of pearl earrings that are rarely seen in the universe.

It's not cheap, but it's not a particularly rare thing, although the Alxstein family and the Mars family are both big families that cannot be underestimated, and Sierra is not a girl who cares much about the value of gifts, but how to grasp the degree of gift-giving, Lear can be regarded as quite painstaking.

It's not too expensive to do anything, and a gift that's too expensive will only make people feel like they're showing off.

And the relationship between him and Sierra is not something that can be done with even a smile.

Giving a gift to his fiancée, unexpectedly very difficult, Lear, who has never had a girlfriend, still chose this pair of earrings under Maggie's casual guidance, the meaning of pearls is purity and luck, in his opinion, it is a very suitable gift for Serra, of course, Maggie recommends a ruby that symbolizes love, but Lear really can't pull his face.

In the end, I chose pearls.

Incidentally, Serra also gave a Christmas gift, a talisman to pray for health.

Ideal for military personnel who are likely to be unhealthy all of a sudden.

Overall, Sierra is still very happy with Lear, not that she has any prejudice against military personnel, except for his profession, but because she has this not-so-good memory of military personnel.

Her brother was on his way to Zeon to apply for military school when he was killed in a spaceship explosion.

"Miss Serra, I wish you a Merry Christmas."

When I open the video that comes with the gift, it shows none other than Sierra Lear's fiancé.

"By the time the gift arrived at you, Christmas had probably been a few days away."

"Sorry, at least if I sent it a few days in advance."

"I wonder what kind of gift you're going to like, but at least I hope you don't hate it."

Lear in the video said, a little stiff and embarrassed at first, but slowly began to flow smoothly.

In this way, the two exchanged 'letters' belonging to the cosmic century.

It's not that there is no mobile phone or anything in the universe, but the instant communication signal cannot be transmitted from SIDE5 to SIDE3 across the universe, compared with the old Western era, the communication mode of people in the universe century has not changed essentially, it is microwave communication transmitted through the base station, usually a SIDE mobile phone can only be used locally.

This is not only because human beings have not been able to build a high-power microwave transmitter that can resist the ubiquitous rays in the universe, but also because of the monopoly of the Federation, the microwave device with the largest power and can transmit information from one SIDE to another is only available in the universe at the federal military base in Granada, which is located on the lunar surface of Granada, and this device is strictly controlled by the federal army, not to mention the locality, even Zeon does not have such a thing.

Therefore, people in the cosmic century can only communicate in this way, which is not sure whether it is primitive or advanced, and the high cost of long-distance relationships is staggering.

Lear's message wasn't long, just simple words of blessing or something, but it filled Serra's heart with warmth, and she picked up the earring and gestured it to her ear, the earlobe that had never been pierced was crystal clear, more like a work of art than the earring itself.

At this moment, Serra's office was suddenly pushed open, and Serra was startled and hurriedly turned off Lear's message.

The person who came in was a trainee doctor with Serra, but a year earlier than Serra, a young international student from SIDE3, with excellent grades, a friendly person, and a good young man who was healthy and decent.

His name is Flynn Hendrick.

Serra could sense a liking for him in the past, so she had been careful to keep her distance from him in the past.

Not only that, but Flynn usually has some more extreme speeches, which also makes Sierra not very fond of it.

Flynn who walked in the door had a terrible face and a haggard face, and he didn't seem to notice Serra's existence, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted when he saw Serra.

"Ah。。。。。。 It's you, Miss Mars," he smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry I bothered you." ”
