HEAVY OBJECT:Volume10 Prologue
Prologue[edit]
Weekly Military News – April 3 Special Edition “The Soberania Disturbance has Begun!!”
Monica: “This is Monica, your battlefield idol reporter who can both sing and kill! Today I think I’ll speak with an expert about the Soberania Disturbance that has occurred near the Panama Canal. And our military commentator is of course this person here! This former colonel has won countless battles as an Object’s strategic commander and is now an influential commentator. It’s Mister Catherine! Mister!!”
Catherine: “Don’t you dare call a lady ‘mister’. Do you want me to give you some cosmetic surgery with my fist?”
Monica: “I don’t want to hear that from someone with a butt-chin, an eyepatch, and stubble. Now, let’s get to the topic at hand. What do you have to say about the Soberania Disturbance officially caused by the Capitalist Corporations’ invasion?”
Catherine: “The Soberania District was a blank region, so it didn’t even have an Object. It was obviously a bad idea to pick a fight with the Capitalist Corporations which have plenty of Second Generations.”
Monica: “But the district was a permanently neutral nation, so the Capitalist Corporations are sure to receive international criticism for invading.”
Catherine: “By the way, a recent search found secret training camps in the Soberania District. And not for a regular army. These were for special commandos trained in guerilla warfare, terrorist attacks, and sabotage. They were meant to attack safe countries.”
Monica: “That goes completely against the idea of clean wars, doesn’t it? The Soberania District borders the Panama Canal, so it’s obviously positioned just south of the Capitalist Corporations’ home country.”
Catherine: “Professionals who can create inhumane weapons at an abandoned gas station are much more frightening than a strategic weapon that stands out and would be spotted even in the most cursory inspection. So before an actual terrorist attack could begin, 7th Core – the seven giant corporations that manage their home country – began to directly clean up those camps. It does make sense, but…”
Monica: “But?”
Catherine: “Once this is over, who will own the Panama Canal which is so crucial for transportation? I know I shouldn’t speak on pure speculation, but this disturbance smells fishy to me.”
Monica: “What’s this!? Could it be a conspiracy theory!? Those things have a way of getting our viewers on the edge of their seats!!”
Catherine: “Well, it’s not like there’s ever been a war without a conspiracy behind it.”
Monica: “Why’d you have to kill our excitement, you butt-chin!!”
