Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1262 Mabey's Discovery and Speculation
"So... this is what you found?"

“I’m not completely sure yet, but I found some commonalities that made me curious.”

Yang Hui had no intention of paying attention to Mabie, whose thirst for knowledge had reached a crazy level, but Mabie secretly made a gesture to him, and Yang Hui gave up the idea of ​​shirking the responsibility and went to the laboratory of the GGG orbital base with Mabie. That gesture was a secret signal from Yang Hui to Mabie.

At the beginning, it was not only Yang Hui who discovered the peculiarities of [AOS] and [Drestriga], but Mabie also noticed it. Once, Mabie found Yang Hui and planned to tell him about this matter, but was stopped by Yang Hui in time. After a secret communication, Yang Hui left this secret signal to Mabie and asked her to slow down the efficiency of the investigation to avoid danger.

And now, Mabey used this code, which means she has gained something.

After conducting a thorough physical examination on all members of Drei Kreuz, Mabie was surprised to find that the first batch of members of Drei Kreuz, that is, all the students of the 30th Officer Academy, had exactly the same gene. Although others also had a very similar gene, the gene was more obvious in the students of the 30th Officer Academy. The same gene was also found in Aggie Saint Claus.

"I found it very strange at first. Even if all the original crew members died in the accident, there were other federal troops in [Yeles] at the time, and even the instructors at the academy were better than us, a group of students who had not yet graduated. Why did it have to be us? And... Brigadier General Fix's first communication directly put the hope of the Earth and mankind in our hands, which made me even more confused." Mabey explained the reasons for her suspicion.

"Could it be that he is optimistic about you?" Yang Hui asked Mabe in return. Although the original members of [Drestriga] were indeed a group of student soldiers, there was one thing Yang Hui had to admit, that is, these students were very talented in their respective fields. Mitsuha Greywallis grew rapidly in the position of captain, and under Yang Hui's intentional or unintentional guidance, he had made great progress in the tactical command of the battleship, the tactical command of the MS troops, and strategic vision.

There are also Jie and others from the maintenance class, Lian from CIC... they are all growing at a very fast pace. Not to mention Mabie, who has had a very high research ability from the beginning, and she understands Yang Hui's guidance every time. Now she is no less capable than outstanding adult scientists.

"No matter how much they think highly of us, they won't entrust the hope of the Earth and mankind to us, right? How can we be so worthy?" Mabie admitted that she and her classmates were outstanding young people, but... they were still young people. The future belonged to the young, but now it belonged to the seniors. They haven't had enough time to grow up yet. It's suspicious to just hand over the heavy responsibility to them, right?

"continue."

"Then I secretly conducted an investigation. First, I looked for the list of the original crew members. I couldn't find this list in the database, and even used some special methods to enter the high-level area, but I couldn't find it. Although the clues were broken, it confirmed my doubts. Then I changed direction and started with the [Drestriga] project and internal personnel. What's strange is that the records of [Drestriga]'s development opportunities are very vague. The development time of the entire project is exactly eight years, but there are only detailed records of the last four years. The records of the first four years were erased by someone, and the records of the last four years were also recorded from the completion of [Drestriga]'s construction. This is very abnormal.

Unfortunately, I was not able to find any relevant records, so I focused on the insiders, and then I made the current discovery. "

"…What do you suspect?" Yang Hui asked Mabie.

"I suspect... our group of student soldiers did not board the Drestligar by chance and become members of the Drestligar's crew. Instead, it was planned from the beginning."

"anything else?"

"There must be something wrong with this identical gene. People who possess this gene must have something in common, or...something special." Mabie answered very seriously.

"...Take a look at this first." Yang Hui confirmed Mabe's look. She was not joking, and she was not just exploring the unknown with a thirst for knowledge, so Yang Hui took out his PAD and passed her several confidential documents. "Read it now, and destroy it immediately after reading it."

"This is..." Mabey looked through the data files sent by Yang Hui with doubts. As she looked, her brows furrowed even deeper. "Colonel Yang Hui, these files...are exactly the same as what I found. There is no new discovery."

"That's the problem." Yang Hui snatched Mabie's PAD and broke it into pieces with both hands.

"Ah! Colonel Yang Hui, what are you doing?" Mabie was shocked and asked Yang Hui in confusion.

"Destroy the traces."

"Ah? I'll delete the file records."

"Physical destruction, more thorough."

"Um, okay, so what do you mean when you said... this is the problem?" Putting aside the physical destruction method that made Mabie's mouth twitch, she sought answers from Yang Hui.

"Your special method is to hack into the restricted area of ​​the central database to view information, right?" Yang Hui asked Mabey.

"Um... this..." Mabe's eyes were evasive. Hacking into the restricted area of ​​the central database without permission was a felony, on par with espionage.

However, Mabe's expression also told Yang Hui the answer: "When you hack into the central database, you can only find the records on the surface. What I sent to you are some of the records I found in the black box, and some of them are paper records on file. Do you understand what I mean?"

"This...you mean, the Federation doesn't have any more records at all?" "That's right."

"How is this possible!?" Mabie was surprised. Since it was a project under the name of the Federal Army, there must be detailed records. It is possible that it was not entered into the central database, or it was entered into the central database but processed. However, the black box of the database or the archived paper documents must be retained. This is also the information management system of the Federal Army.

However, there is not even a black box or archived paper documents for the Drestliga project. There are only two possibilities. One is that this project is not a project of the Federation Army at all. It just secretly uses the name of the Federation Army but has nothing to do with the Federation Army. The other is that this project is really like the records found now, and there is no previous content at all.

"Another point is that the list of casualties reported by Fix was forged. The original crew members on the list were all federal soldiers who died on various fronts, or they were simply characters he made up out of thin air, so... the so-called original crew members did not exist in the first place." Yang Hui told Mabey.

"...It seems the answer is very clear. There is indeed something special about our group of people, but...what is special about us? Do we have special talents? Or...do we have a special role?" Mabe analyzed calmly.

"It's easy to talk to smart people." Yang Hui's mouth curled up slightly. Mabey is a smart person. She will not yell because of this special thing. Instead, she will calmly analyze the cause and effect. If someone like Hitachi heard the news, he would probably jump for joy and think he is the savior.

"This is the target of our investigation, Mabe. I will check from the source to see what common special features your group of students has, and the same goes for Aggie St. Claus. Fix Blackwood also has people responsible for gathering intelligence. What you need to do now is to pay attention to your own safety. On Drestrigga, no further investigations in any form are allowed. Focus on digging out the secrets of AOS. If you have any findings, don't report them to me on Drestrigga. Find a chance to tell me after you get off the ship, like we did today."

"Colonel Yang Hui, do you mean... there is danger on the Drestriga?" Mabie frowned. This was not good news. The Drestriga was the warship they were on and it was their permanent residence. How could their own home be in danger?
"Well, the Drestriga has many secrets. Fix Blackwood was able to establish unilateral communication with the Drestriga from Earth without triggering any alarms. Also... I noticed that there was a pair of eyes watching us on the Drestriga, so... we should be cautious."

"So... I had the same feeling, and I thought it was an illusion. Okay, I will follow your instructions, Colonel Yang Hui."

"Ah."

"By the way, should we report this matter to Captain Mitsuha?"

"No, let's wait until we find out the results and then tell her."

"Hehe, so I'm on your side now?" Mabie smiled sinisterly and moved closer to Yang Hui.

"Pa~!" Yang Hui gave her a finger-snapping move in annoyance.

"Ouch~!"

"Things that you should know will naturally be told to you. Don't ask about things that you shouldn't know." Yang Hui taught him a lesson in a bad mood.

"Tsk, stingy man..."

"Okay, check these genetic samples again first. Remember to keep a backup. I'll have someone come to receive them, and then we'll go back to the ship. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, Colonel Yang Hui..."

“Buzz~Buzz~Buzz~…”

At this moment, an alarm sounded in the GGG orbital base, and Yang Hui's PAD also received a communication request.

"Captain Sanye, I am Yang Hui."

"Colonel Yang Hui, please return to your ship immediately and prepare for the attack. We have discovered traces of the Zanskar Empire in the current space. It is on a large scale. We have detected 30 warships and 180 MS, including new warships and MS." Mitsuha Greywallai explained to Yang Hui.

"Understood. I will return to the ship immediately. Please order the MS on the ship to attack first and conduct fire reconnaissance on the enemy." Yang Hui put forward his own suggestion.

"The Ravenbird 30, the Rabbit Squad, and the V Gundam 1 and 2 have already launched their attack. I have the White Fortress following suit, which should be enough to check the enemy's firepower configuration."

"Okay, I'll be right back."
