Editing HEAVY OBJECT:Volume16 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 14===

It was all over and they had returned to that destroyer battleship.

“The next time that busty commander gives us bad intel, I say we make her bow down in apology. How many people does she think died this time?”

“Have you ever heard of the Island Nation’s fantastic culture of bondage? We can also have her sit in their ‘seiza’ style and place a heavy stone slab on her knees.”

“Are there any energy drinks around here?”

“Not going to let her sleep tonight, huh? I’m in.”

The commander only consolidated the information gathered by her subordinates, so this could not be entirely blamed on Frolaytia. But the exhausted idiots could be unforgiving.

And the busty silver-haired commander did care for her subordinates, so she could not bring herself to get after them too strongly.

“…Don’t you forget how you’re treating me, you two.”

“Oh, there are two things I never, ever forget: convenient loopholes and other people’s weaknesses☆”

“You’re wearing a bunny suit at the next pre-mission briefing. You got that?”

At any rate, Frolaytia placed her long, narrow kiseru in her mouth to distract herself from her irritation.

“We received a few new pieces of data from the support device belonging to the arms dealer Quenser killed and from the destroyed Over Cavitation. The electronic simulation division has finished decrypting it, so we have learned a lot about their organizational structure and their Parasite Plan.”

“We still don’t get any time off? But I really want to go searching for that legendary maid.”

“Frolaytia, please kill him by restricting his sleep and overworking him.”

Everyone ignored Quenser’s rapid comment.

“I’ll omit the specifics and get right to the point: the arms dealer is known as Woodstock. They appear to have begun when an Eastern European gang joined with an engineering group who found no place for them in the Indian peninsula.”

“An engineering group?”

“You saw the flying cars that woman going by the name of Dora Blue-Hawaii used, didn’t you? Due to the population explosion in that region, the entrance exams and fight for employment have overheated. The people in this group were only lacking in connections, so their skill is real. They were exactly what a criminal organization would have been looking for. That is the group supporting the products used for the Parasite Plan.”

Frolaytia sounded exasperated. The look on her face said she wished they had come to the Legitimacy Kingdom for employment.

“Woodstock has a presence in more than just the Hawaii District. All over the world, they have been locating defective Objects from all four world powers and effectively hijacking them through modernization. That is the Parasite Plan. Although now that the plan has been revealed, it seems they have started a disappearing act to avoid mass arrests.”

“So is our next mission to attack their headquarters? What a pain in the ass. Aren’t there police for that? Do the special forces really have better things to be doing?”

“You might want to hear this first: Woodstock has added or replaced core components to make up for the defects in more than 10 Objects in all. It might be the undercarriage, a main cannon, the radar, the armor, the cockpit’s electrical system, or the reactor itself.”

“Wait. You don’t mean…?”

“Altogether, they have the parts for a brand new Object of their own. The Parasite Plan’s true goal was the construction of a cutting-edge Second Generation. The manufacturing process for a whole Object takes years, but this method changes that. Or rather, it doesn’t matter if their actions are discovered even if it does take years. I propose we call it the Gangster. Those arms dealers are apparently waiting for us with a cutting edge Second Generation the likes of which no one has ever seen. That undoubtedly makes this a job for the military.”
