"Right now, I'm very concerned about where the prototype machine produced in the Fifteenth Celestial Region all those years ago ended up."
Sandora looked thoughtfully at the Data Terminal Older Sister was currently fiddling with. "Based on the prototype ship we captured, Ockham encountered Viska's Destruction Legion before he had time to take that prototype machine away. So it should still be somewhere in the Fifteenth Celestial Region... But there's no telling whether it was left on the mystical-side or technological-side half of the mother planet. Judging from its architecture, it should be a hybrid device. Yet over eighty percent of a Deep Diving Ship's structure is made using technological-side technology, so perhaps its matching Communication Array would be classified as a technological-side creation?"
"So that thing could be on Gaia?" I frowned. "That's just unbelievable. It's been over four years, and I never imagined such an important ancient device had been right under our noses."
I felt this trip had really been worthwhile. The Data Terminal the Half-Dragons had stumbled upon had revealed an unknown ancient device to us, and it was even one of the Deep Diving Project's important pieces of equipment. If windfalls like this happened every day, I wouldn't do anything else. I'd wake up every morning and take the whole family out for a stroll to pick up money...

After the mother planet Gaia entered Shadow Space, it underwent several comprehensive inspections. The main purpose had been to repair the ancient equipment on the mother planet and, incidentally, replace a few of Gaia's parts. It could be said that every valuable Imperial facility on the planet had been scanned,
