At the end of October, UC0079, Thor Klune returned normally. The only regret was not being able to see the end of the One Year War.

As soon as the transmigration time arrived, Thor Klune's vision went black, and he found himself back in the restroom on the Archangel.

The System prompted, "Host, you have completed your second transmigration. You have received one random lottery draw. Do you wish to use it?"

"Use it immediately."

"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Kamen Rider 01 Grand Gift Pack.

The gift pack contains:

Satellite Xerxes, Humagear Robot, Kamen Rider 01 Driver, a full set of Progrise Keys, the Progrise Key Writing System, and manufacturing blueprints for all the above items."

Thor Klune shouted excitedly, "Holy crap!"

Then he quickly covered his mouth, trying his best not to make a sound.

He then carefully examined the specific contents of the Kamen Rider 01 Grand Gift Pack.

Satellite Xerxes manufacturing blueprint data, Humagear Robot manufacturing blueprint data...

The Kamen Rider Progrise Keys include:

Insect Type (Rising Hopper, Shining Hopper, Metal Cluster Hopper...)

Animal Type (Tiger, Elephant, Dolphin...)

Extinct Animal Type (Dinosaur, Sabertooth Tiger, Dodo...)

Legend Rider Type (Decade, Ryuki, Ohma Zi-O...) etc.

The Humagear Progrise Keys include:

Support Type Character Program Data: Iz, Yua, Zea...

Combat Type Character Program Data: Hakai, Metsuboujinrai, Jin, Horobi...

Progrise Key Writing System: This allows the consciousness of humans or creatures before death to be written into a Progrise Key, allowing them to be reborn as Humagear.

After reading the introduction, Thor Klune felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him.

Although all these things were good, even including the Ohma Zi-O Progrise Key.

But they all required him to spend time and resources to manufacture them; none of them were ready-made.

"This is going to kill me. Not a single item is ready-made; I have to manufacture everything. What kind of reward is this?

Besides, even with current technology, these things would be difficult to manufacture, right?

System, can I exchange this prize?"

"Host, once the system lottery draw is used, it cannot be refunded."

"Sigh, fine. There's nothing I can do.

Nami, back up all this data first and store it in your database."

"As you command, Master... Backing up data... Insufficient storage space... Requesting expansion.

Master, the data content is too massive to back up completely. Please expand the storage space."

Thor Klune immediately let out a string of profanities.

After venting for a few minutes, he said to Nami, "Nami, back up the Satellite Xerxes manufacturing blueprint data first.

Then, assimilate both the first and third units of the Gundam RX-78 to transform them into Satellite Xerxes.

Remember to keep the armor of the third unit. Is this plan feasible?"

"Master, Satellite Xerxes backup successful.

After calculation, the satellite's volume is too large, and the storage space is insufficient to store Satellite Xerxes.

Furthermore, two mobile suits are not enough to manufacture Satellite Xerxes. Please increase the manufacturing materials."

Thor Klune was so angry he almost spewed blood and died on the spot. He was just a hair's breadth away from the finale.

Thor held his forehead and continued, "Nami, use that manufacturing core to store the computational part. Treat it as your main body and data backup.

And use the Gundam's reactor core as the energy source. Is this feasible?"

"Master, this plan is feasible. Do you wish to execute it immediately?"

This time it was finally possible. Thor nodded in agreement.

Nami began to absorb and assimilate the two Gundams, starting the manufacturing of the core part of Satellite Xerxes. The estimated time is one week.

Thor Klune left the restroom and returned to the Archangel's mess hall.

Not long after, Kira Yamato arrived with Frey Alsta.

Upon seeing Sai Argyle, Frey Alsta rushed over and hugged him, crying.

Kira, on the other hand, had a smug look on his face, feeling very self-satisfied.

Mwu La Flaga, Nataru Bagiruru, and Mwu La Flaga had already made plans on Mwu La Flaga's side.

To evade pursuit from Cruze's team, they were preparing to seek refuge at the Artemis Military Base.

The crew members aboard the Archangel also began the registration process for the personnel Kira Yamato had rescued.

In the lounge area, Sai Argyle asked, "Where is this ship going? It just changed course, and are ZAFT forces still pursuing us?"

Thor Klune, standing nearby with his arms crossed, replied, "Aren't ZAFT forces pursuing this ship and that Mobile Suit? They might be after us too."

Frey Alsta, beside them, exclaimed excitedly, "How could this happen? Doesn't that mean it's even more dangerous here? No!"

Kira Yamato felt incredibly dejected upon hearing Frey Alsta, as if he had done something wrong.

Miriallia Haw, unable to watch any longer, sarcastically asked Frey Alsta, "Are you saying a malfunctioning lifeboat would be safer?"

Frey Alsta didn't know how to respond, leaning into Sai Argyle and saying helplessly, "Of course not, that's not what I meant."

Sai Argyle comforted her, saying, "The evacuation order is for the entire region, everything will be fine."

Just then, Mu La Flaga came looking for Kira Yamato and said, "Sergeant Madoc is angry. We're short-handed, so you'll have to manage your own unit."

Kira Yamato asked in surprise, "My unit? Wait, my unit refers to..."

Mu La Flaga interrupted, "That's the decision for now. In fact, only you can pilot it, there's no other way."

Kira Yamato shouted angrily, "It's precisely because it's unavoidable that I agreed to pilot it a second time. But I'm not a soldier!"

Mu La Flaga shook his head and appeased him, "A battle will happen sooner or later. Will you still be saying these words then, just waiting to die?"

Kira Yamato was speechless, being told this. Mu La Flaga continued, "Right now, only the two of us can protect this ship."

But Kira Yamato was still unconvinced and tried to argue.

Mu La Flaga continued to appease him, "You have enough strength, right? Do as much as you can with the strength you have. We don't have much time, hurry up and act."

Then he leaned closer to Kira Yamato and added, "If you have time to worry, you might as well do something practical."

While Kira Yamato was contemplating, Sai Argyle suddenly interjected, "Um, where is this ship going?"

Mu La Flaga replied, "To a military base in Eurasia."

He then added, "Of course, that depends on whether we can reach it safely."

After saying this, Mu La Flaga left directly.

Kira Yamato, after a period of self-argument and internal struggle.

He ran out of the lounge area, preparing to head to the Archangel's hangar to repair his unit, the Strike Gundam.
