"Crack!"
The cap of the canned soda was opened, and the moment the refreshing and cold soda slid into his throat, Lockon was shocked.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Sergey opened his drink next to him, but he had coffee instead of soda.
"No, no. This is not hard work! After all, the operating system of Iron Man 3 is familiar to us."
Lockon raised the soda in his hand, saluted Sergey, and said casually.
"I don't know if you've never tried to drive ZAFT's Jinn. That thing is so difficult to operate."
"Jin En? I remember that there was a restored Jin En in the factory area. Have you been up there?"
Sergey looked at Lockon with some surprise.
According to the special characteristics of this group of people, there should be no machines that would make it difficult for them to pilot.
"Yeah. I've been there before. But when I started the system, the so-called OS really made me feel a little confused."
Lockon chuckled, leaned his back against the wall, stretched out his left hand and made a gesture of holding the joystick.
"If it weren't for our special characteristics, I might not be able to drive Jin En easily for a while."
Sergey listened to Lockon's words and thought for a moment.
"Indeed. In the past month or so, I have heard from other people more than once that the OS system installed on Jin En is a difficulty that the Earth United Nations has not been able to solve so far. If it were not for the existence of the OS system, I am afraid that
Before we even need to take action, Earth United’s MSs are already flying all over the sky.”
Lockon nodded with deep sympathy.
"I've heard about it too. But no matter what, this difficulty no longer exists for us."
Sergey nodded slightly.
"Indeed. Although I have not heard of the existence of Iron Man 3, it seems now that the system on Iron Man 3 is derived from the technology of the Human Revolutionary Alliance."
While the two were talking, a piece of news happened to be playing on the TV not far away.
"Recently, large-scale power outages around the world caused by the spread of neutron jammers by ZAFT have caused food and drinking water crises in one-third of the world's countries, and the number of affected people has increased from the initial number.
Ten thousand people quickly expanded into millions."
"According to expert predictions, the number of people affected by large-scale blackouts across the world caused by neutron jammers may reach hundreds of millions of people, and the number of people affected will eventually be even larger than predicted."
While the news was still playing, there was a sudden sound from Lockon's right hand.
"Click!"
"Wow la la..."
When the soda can was crushed by Lockon, the half-drunk soda inside fell to the ground.
Sergey looked at Lockon, but did not see Lockon's angry expression.
But Sergey knew that this man who was once, no, should be said to be a celestial pilot's companion, was now eager to pilot his machine and fight against those who caused such a large-scale humanitarian disaster in the name of celestial beings.
The mastermind behind the scenes is given sanctions.
"Sergey, why are you looking at me? It's just that I got excited for the moment."
Lockon noticed Sergey's gaze, laughed a few times, threw the garbage in his hand into the trash can, and shook his hand.
Then, Lockon let out a long sigh.
"Sergei. Do you think they will notice?"
Such a meaningless statement made Sergey nod.
"I think you should have noticed it, right?"
Sergei already knew the power of the neutron jammer.
Moreover, Sergey also knew that in the name of Iron Man 3, behind the MS design drawing, there was attached another design drawing of the facility.
Although, that design drawing was submitted in the name of improving the combat endurance of the MS.
But as long as you have a little contact with the current situation, anyone with a discerning eye will understand what that design represents.
"Then, hurry up!"
Lockon's voice was hoarse, and his eyes gradually showed a trace of anxiety.
Sergey sighed.
"We can't convince those people with empty words. So, what we can do now is to show results. Lockon, as the pilot of Tianren, you should understand."
Lockon shook his head and then sighed.
"I understand! It's just that I was moved by the scene."
Pictures broadcast on the news showed many children lining up with their parents to receive food at relief sites.
Lockon is too familiar with these.
More clearly, at this time...
"boom!!"
Suddenly, there was a violent explosion outside the news screen.
Lockon immediately clenched his fists and turned around abruptly to leave.
"Sergey, I remember that Unit 3 was offline in the morning, right?"
"Um!"
"I'll take the first step."
"good!"
While Lockon was leaving, Sergey heard a voice coming from outside the news screen.
“For a clean and blue world!!”
"madman."
At this moment, Sergey actually agreed with Tianren's course of action.
The world has completely slipped into the abyss of madness!!
Half an hour later, in the Gnaku, He Ming, who was inspecting the No. 3 machine with Salamandini, saw Lockon hurriedly arriving.
At first glance, He Ming noticed the turbulent emotions deep in Lockon's heart, the suppressed anger that could burst out at any time.
"Lockon. If you want to board Unit 3 in this state, I won't allow it."
He Ming shouted coldly, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and the brain quantum waves around his body surged towards Lockon.
Lockon made a move, and the emotions brewing in his eyes suddenly dissipated.
"Hey! What are you talking about? Sir, I'm just a little impatient."
He Ming shook his head.
"Locon, stay calm! Just like when we were flying the Gundam on the intervention mission."
Lockon exhaled slowly and returned to his usual calm demeanor.
"I understand! It's just that in those news pictures, I saw the shadow of my past. No, I'm afraid what those children are facing now is more miserable than what I experienced in the past."
"Believe me. Soon, the children will see a turn for the better!"
On the other side, Salamandini said after completing the last inspection.
"Sir! The final inspection is completed! Unit 3 meets the test requirements and can start testing."
He Ming nodded slightly and looked at Lockon.
"Lockon, let's start!"
"yes!"
Lockon stood at attention and saluted.
Then, he turned around and ran into the dressing room to change into driving clothes.
Half an hour later, He Ming and Salamandini stood in the command center, looking at Lockon sitting in the No. 3 machine.
"Lockon, the test mission has been passed! You can attack at any time!"
"Understood! Lockon Stratos, Ironman III! Attack!"
