Editing HEAVY OBJECT:Volume8 Chapter 1 (section)

===Part 14===

Angela Hibiscus, who commanded Moss Green, clicked her tongue when she received a report from the sniper.

“The lost children are after the sixth secondary power supply. Anything else would be sad even for them.”

There were several secondary power supplies, so stopping just one or two would not affect the entire Ame-no-Darin. They were also located at the end of the structure, so causing an explosion with their fuel would not sink the Ame-no-Darin.

Which meant…

“They must be trying to interfere with the power supply’s emergency switching system to cause an error in the whole power system and create a blackout. A foolish idea for a group of fools.”

The civil war surrounding the Ame-no-Darin was being fought between two Capitalist Corporations forces. One was trying to protect the Ame-no-Darin and the other was trying to sink it.

Angela’s Moss Green unit had been hired by the group trying to sink it.

“Sergeant major, how is the marking going?”

“It is already complete. Team C has secured the central power supply. We know the locations of all 2500+ valve release points, so we can begin the flooding at any time.”

Moss Green was trying to sink the Ame-no-Darin and a float that large could not be sunk with anti-ship missiles or torpedoes.

They had infiltrated it, calculated out how to sink the giant float under the weight of the water, and were prepared to fill specific blocks with water.

Water was a simple weight that simply increased with volume.

Merely filling an apartment’s cramped bathtub would secure two hundred kilograms. Due to the large size of the float, they could use leverage to split it down the middle like a cookie or biscuit.

In other words…

“If power is lost and a blackout covers all of the Ame-no-Darin, can we continue our mission?”

“Yes, if we set up explosives at each and every valve release location. But that would be in the quadruple digits and we would have to force our way into every part of the Ame-no-Darin.”

“In that case, it would be faster to make our move before those lost children arrive at the sixth secondary power supply.”

With that said, Angela Hibiscus brought her radio to her mouth.

“Teams B and D, gather our wounded and attack #6. If you can’t secure it, go ahead and blow it up. We hold the central power supply, so losing one of the many secondary ones won’t affect the mission.”

The man she had referred to as a sergeant major tilted his head a bit like a hunting dog awaiting orders at its owner’s feet.

“You aren’t sending in the whole unit?”

“Don’t forget our objective. Those lost children are outsiders. We were hired to sink the Ame-no-Darin, so that is what we must focus on.”
