Code Infinity c5

Once Raynor and Euphemia left towards the bridge leaving the three girls behind.

Marrybell and Oldrin quickly read through the manual or more like a brochure, since it was that thin it can be considered as one.

All they learned is that H.T.M will do most of the work.

And there is very little to no things for them to do, something which is hard to believe.

"So, how are we even going to board them or how we even start them?" Oldrin asked Leila who was stayed behind to advise them.

"First we need to bind them to you two." The blond said to them as she pulled out a laptop.

"Bind? What does that even mean?"

"Locked to your DNA, voice, and retina etc…." The blonde explained as she opened a software on her laptop.

"First change into your pilot suits and put the visor on." The blonde instructed the girls who nodded and took their pilot suits.

Both of them inspected the materials, it was incredibly soft yet it felt like rubber, even the colours were the same as their machines.

The more they looked at this, the more both of them realised that these are specifically tailored after them.

"There is changing room just over there." Leila motioned towards the main doors.

The ship was built the way that once one leaves the main lift they would have changing quarters right next to the catapult deck.

So, the blonde tactician didn't need to wait long for the girls to come back, she already knew when they coming back because the main Ultron database already started recording main parameters like heartbeat.

"These are much better than Britannian standard issue," Marrybell said as she inspected herself, her knight nodded at her.

"That's because they are meant to take damage and can be used in space." Leila casually explained as she was manually registering and binding the machines to them, not everything is done with Ultron assistance, plus people are comfortable with another person around.

"...Space… you mean we can use these in space?" Oldrin nearly squeaked when she said that.

"The Gundam's were built with space usage in mind, so as they are right now they can be used even in reentry into Earth atmosphere."

"Only 10's, 20's and 30's models were tested though." The blonde clarified to them.

Oldrin looked confused but Marrybell quickly understood something.

"Euphy has a machine too?" The Princess said while realised what this means, she never expected Euphemia to have a machine of her own!

Leila's eyes slightly widened, this Princess is good!

"Yes, her is the 30's series." The blonde said with a slightly impressed voice that she picked that up with little information, well she is one of smarter Britannian Princesses...

Marrybell nodded hearing that,

"That means yours is 20's and 10's are Sir Valeron's." The Princess explained, more like deducted.

"Not bad, and yes that how it is," Leila said with an impressed voice this time.

"That means there is only five of these Gundams?" Oldren said as she realised what this means.

"Correct, only five so far, each represent a number, that means only one will exist with that number," Leila said that as she looked at three containers that were put not far from Exia and Victory.

The other two girls followed the gaze and saw them.

VITMS G X010 written on the container, both girls then looked to the next one.

VIMS G X020…

"That 'X' stands for eXtreme, meaning that Ultron is constantly collecting data when both piloting them, and as you progress as a pilot, and your fighting style progresses so will your models too."

Both girls eyes widened as they looked back at their machines.

"You..mean…"

"They become more and more personalized, and the models will change from 40's series to 41's… and so forth, that's for what the numbers stand for," Leila explained to them, she quite enjoyed the shell shocked look those two girls had.

She still remembers her first days with Raynor, her brain long ago gave up on understanding how he does things.

"Isn't this little bit too much? While both of us have scored above average in our courses this is…" Oldren said with a slightly uncomfortable look.

Yes, she loved to pilot such an advanced model any knight would, but this has approached the realm of over the top…

"... too much…"

"It's the opposite… you think TOO much about this," Leila said that while sighing and massaging her temples before coming with appropriate words for this situation.

"All he wants is sexy and hot girls piloting his machines." She said that while pretty much quoting what Raynor said to her.

That moment both girls in front of her ended up dumbstruck, Oldrin reacted first she facepalmed, hiding her growing blush.

Just how ridiculous this sounded to her.

While Marrybell has put her hand on her chin, stroking for a second, thinking about this in more detail.

"So, he is building a harem of his own?" The darker pink-haired princess asked curiously.

Leila just gave her a shrug.

"I have no idea what is happening in his head Princess, while I do… love him, sometimes he gets too much for me… well used to since Euphemia joined us." The blonde girl explained, she didn't want to get into details about how she knows that her man holds the whole world hostage for more than a year now.

With orbital bombardment satellites strategically placed he could bring back the stone age with a single snap of his fingers, that's of course him not utilising Ultron to bring chaos…

She knows quite well why his A.I is named after a powerful comic book villain…

"You can't be serious…" Oldrin said with disbelief, this conversation went from serious to embarrassing in seconds flat!

"I decided! I Will join his harem!" The Princess spoke with a resolute voice, making both blondes look at her like she is insane!

"W-Wait a second Princess! You can't just decide that… is SO arbitrary!" Her blonde knight said with a slightly panicked look, she was embarrassed as well at this development!

"Arbitrary?" Marrybell looked slightly confused at her knight.

"Not at all, I thought about this just now."

Oldren mouth slightly opened and then closed, that's what it means arbitrary!

While Leila looked at the darker pink-haired Princess with critical eye, the blonde tactician for second thought from her perspective.

"...I see…being Britannian Princess, The Emperor decides who you end up marrying, and since you are the 88th Princess your claim is quite weak." Leila quite quickly deducted why Marrybell so quickly decided this.

This time it was the Princess who was slightly impressed by the blonde's analytic skills, not that it was unexpected, Marrybell doubts that Raynor is keeping incompetent people around…

Especially this blonde girl which he kidnapped from E.U in front of the most defended base in the whole European Supernation...

"Partially…" The darker pink-haired girl got both blondes attention."...my claim only makes part of it, another one is those." She pointed at the machines.

"Sir Valeron's machines will help me achieve my goal of getting rid of terrorism, with such a powerful backer it will be possible." She said that with a smile before slightly blushing.

"Besides… he is extremely smart and handsome, those are just bonuses though…"

Leila slowly nodded, but internally she was baffled because what she just said was nothing more than confirmation.

She heard the very same thing from Raynor! Yes, the very same thing about Marrybell!

He said to her that he will have another Princess loyalty very quickly too...

"B-But… Princess...you only just met him in person!" Oldrin tried to reason with her.

But, the darker pink-haired girl just raised her eyebrow at her.

"That is not needed, Euphemia is good at discerning who is of good character, I already saw what I needed."

Leila internally snorted hearing that, the light pink-haired princess was pretty much fangirling around her future husband.

The girl was head over heels for Raynor the moment the alliance was signed, as she didn't need to hold back her affection for him after that.

"If...you say so, Princess…" Oldrin caved in after hearing that, she could see that her lady was quite serious with this abrupt decision.

"We can discuss this at a later time, for now, you two have around 6 hours to get the control down and get used to the Gundams." Leila got their attention to matters at hand.

This time Marrybell was practically burning with desire to prove herself capable, the blonde tactician internally grimaced once more, Raynor deduction was once again spot on about this Princess.

""Right""

Both of the pilots nodded at her.

"Good, so let me explain how things work…"

~~~

Leila has explained how H.T.M works, to say that the Britannian girls were amazed was an understatement.

Because of the power source the Gundams use they are always online to a certain level, multiple background systems are always working even if it looks that machine is off.

So, if for example one of the girls need her machine, she only needed to speak to any device connected to the Ultron network…

And since Ultron is a powerful A.I, it can deduct who is asking the machine and so forth, nonetheless it has blown away both of them that the Gundam can work on their own.

Leila did remembered how her best friend reacted to Raynor's prototype machine who could move on its own.

"R-Right so I only need to walk towards it and think of piloting it?" The blonde knight asked with uncertainty.

"Yes, the earpiece you have reads your intentions, or you can order vocally too."

Oldrin listened to fellow blonde and started walking towards her Gundam with uncertain steps.

Marrybell just looked at the whole thing curiously, she is making her blonde knight take the fall if she is going to fail with this. The Princess doesn't want to embarrass in front of her future man, she simply knows that he is watching everything from the bridge...

Thankfully nothing embarrassing happened more like an impressed gasp escaped from the darker pink-haired girl's mouth.

As the machine reacted to Oldrin who was getting closer.

Exia's green eyes glowed as the machine started to move.

It dropped on one knee and offered its hand.

The blonde knight looked at this with opened mouth.

"There has to be some limits to this right?" Marrybell asked Leila, there has to be right?

Otherwise, the sheer gap between the Britannian military and Valeron Industries would be enormous!

"The signal, Raynor working to strengthening it, so far you can't call your machine if you are stranded in some inhospitable place." The blonde tactician explained to the Princess.

Marrybell slowly nodded it made sense to her, after all, there are no radio towers in Sahara or North Pole…

Of course, Marrybell and Leila see what is inhospitable differently, for Princess, it's somewhere on Earth, while for Leila its the outer space…

The blonde didn't tell to the girl next to her that Raynor was thinking of making their Gundams come to them even if they are stranded on Mars…

Why Mars? Well apparently he saw a movie where an astronaut got stranded on Mars, so he didn't want something like this to happen so he decided to make their Gundams come to them no matter where they are…

After seeing a successful try by Oldrin the darker pink-haired girl went to her machine which reacted in the same way as her knights one.

~~~

"Just how advanced is this?" Marrybell said to herself as she saw the cockpit of her Gundam.

There is only the pilot seat, two control sticks and two pedals nothing more!

While the surroundings had a complete 360 view, they were all high-resolution screens.

[According to my calculations it will be around 200 years until the rest of the world will develop something similar to this.]

[For Holy Britannian Empire it will be around 120 to 150 years if they solely focus on creating the power source first of the Gundam.]

The Princess looked shellshocked around at first then realised that the Machine has extremely advanced 'Artificial Intelligence'.

Term she was not familiar with not long ago.

It's hard to get over the fact that there exist a computer so advanced it has a consciousness…

"...200 years? Isn't… too much?"

The girl can see that the machine is advanced like really advanced but 200 years? That's too much!

[Most of the materials used to build 50's series or any other series Gundams are with GN particle, to produce this particle one needs a high radiation environment which can only be found on Gas Giant Jupiter or The Sun, it impossible to produce on Earth surface.]

The girl blinked a couple of times, the stuff from outer space? This machine can only be produced in outer space?

She then remembered how Leila said about the ability to use this machine in space…

[There are possible ways to reverse engineer this engine on Earth but it would be a knocked down version of it which would be harmful to humans if exposed to it.]

Marrybell snorted hearing that.

That should be obvious if it's was originally in a build-in radiation rich zone…

Trying to copy it on Earth should be extremely hard, but does this mean Raynor has some sort of base on Jupiter?

"...Does this mean Sir Valeron has some sort of base on Jupiter?" The Princess asked with expectations and even hope, if this is true then she even has a chance to see other planets!

Instead of answering Ultron showed a direct video stream from Jupiter base…

"..."

"How did he reached that place?" The Princess tried to wrap her head around this! It should take years to fly to Jupiter as it is! And now he has some sort of station there!?

And he is the same age as her!?

How!?

[I do apologise, but higher-level clearance is needed for me to answer those questions.]

Marrybell frowned hearing that, she had the feeling that she won't be learning everything from the very beginning, nonetheless she is here for the long run, she will have her time to learn everything.

[We should move to actual practice Princess, I will start tutorial simulation first.]

The darker pink-haired girl nodded as she got comfortable in her pilot seat, she can feel that the seat adjusted to her making it the most comfortable seat possible for her.

Seconds her surroundings changed, she was now in an empty field there was nothing but grasslands around her…

She knows it's a simulation but everything looks extremely realistic!

[Let's start with basics…]

~~~

[Aproaching mission starting area in 5 minutes]

"So, that is...Area 11…" Euphemia said to her fiance, as she was gazing at lands in front of her, even if it's through a window of their ship, it was her first time leaving her homeland!

She can finally see this land after flying above water for more than 6 hours.

The reason why they took so long is that to prepare the two girls for their machines, they could have easily arrived in the country in less than an hour.

"You can call it Japan if you want." He said that with a shrug.

"Hmm, okay." The pink-haired princess nodded happily, she is thankful that her dear is not a pro-Britannian and approves all that discriminating Darwinism…

"Are you sure it's alright for Marry to use Victory Gundam?" Euphemia asked Raynor, she remembered watching how her half-sister nuked everything and anything remotely enemy looking.

"You should worry more about Oldrin than Marrybell, Euphy…" Raynor said as he looked at some of the Blonde knight's footage.

"Why? She offered them to surrender, and did everything what knight would do." The Pink haired Princess said with a confused look, she can't understand his point of view.

Raynor just chuckled hearing that.

"Sometimes swift mercy is better than honourable one, especially when one can't hurt or damage the opposition…

After this, the survivors will be haunted by Oldrin's machine for the rest of their lives, as they couldn't damage it in any way no matter what they did."

Now Euphemia slowly understood what he meant, in end she could not decide what is worse, die swiftly without knowing or being tormented by a machine which tells a proud warrior to surrender as no matter what he does he will never win...
