Siegel Clyne, Moon Meeting

"Beep~"

"Chirp~"

The hospital room door opened, and an old man in white with white hair walked out of the Level 1 special ward.

"How is he?"

The crowd anxiously waiting outside the room rushed forward.

The doctor's expression paused upon hearing the question. He shook his head helplessly and said, "I've never seen this kind of illness before. His body's cells were almost completely destroyed by the virus. If you hadn't brought him in on time and used a special potion to neutralize it midway, he would have died long ago."

"So, you mean?" Lenoya and the others felt the heavy weight on their hearts quietly lift.

Lenoya had almost died of fright when she learned Noer had consumed the Fourth Gene Potion.

The Fourth Gene Potion.

It was the fourth generation developed by the January Colony research lab.

Its destructive power was the strongest among the thirteen versions. All test animals that had been experimented on so far had died without exception. The longest survival time was only five hours.

And that was with a small dose injection.

As for Noer, after observing Anna's bottle, he had consumed more than three times the experimental injection dosage.

"But that will only give him a little more time to linger. We don't have the ability to repair genes here," the doctor explained, shaking his head.

"Then Noer is doomed..." Asya didn't finish the last few words, only looking blankly towards the hospital room.

The doctor didn't answer, just silently shook his head.

In reality, this situation was like a human ingesting paraquat. No matter how timely the medical attention, the destructive damage to the body could not be normally repaired.

"Bang~"

Sister Aya, standing beside them, felt her legs go weak. She sat back down in disbelief. This was already a death sentence.

"I understand. Thank you, Doctor!" Although Lenoya had been mentally prepared, still...

"You're too kind, Dr. Lenoya. If there's nothing else, I'll be going back now." The doctor naturally recognized the person in front of him.

Or rather, if it weren't for Lenoya, how could Noer have entered a Level 1 special ward as soon as he arrived?

"Hoo~"

Lenoya took a deep breath, took out her communication device, and started dialing.

"Madam."

"How is the shuttlecraft coming along?"

"It's basically been disassembled. It can be launched in about half an hour!"

"I understand. Once it's ready, have the shuttlecraft start up and stand by. I'll bring people over immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Aunt Lenoya?" Asya looked at Lenoya.

"The Fourth Gene Potion is extremely destructive to the human body. A secondary gene repair adjustment must be carried out as soon as possible."

After Lenoya finished speaking, seeing the confusion on their faces, she continued, "I only brought Noer here to use the equipment to temporarily stabilize his condition. I already ordered them to disassemble the shuttlecraft earlier. It will be able to take off directly in a little while."

"You mean?" Sister Aya seemed to understand Lenoya's intention.

"I've already contacted January Colony in advance. The shuttlecraft will take Noer there directly for surgery in half an hour," Lenoya replied.

She had thought of this solution about two minutes after learning Noer had consumed the gene potion.

In fact, the research institute had proposed the idea of using criminals for human trials a long time ago, but it was always stopped by Councilor Siegel Clyne.

Because it was too inhumane, and too many people had died for the First Generation Coordinators back then, they couldn't repeat the same mistakes.

And now, it could only be said that it was fate, that such an experimental subject had delivered himself to their doorstep.

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Although Sister Aya was usually very strict with Noer and the others, it didn't mean she didn't care about them.

Or rather, it was precisely because she cared so much about Noer and the others that she was so strict.

"You're welcome. By the way, I hope this matter doesn't affect Anna! Regardless of the outcome, I hope everyone will maintain a unified story and keep it a secret!" Lenoya recalled Anna's expression when she saw Noer collapse and felt a pang of worry.

"Okay." Sister Aya wasn't a fool; she quickly understood what Lenoya meant.

"Then what should we say?" Asya asked.

"Just say that Noer has been sent to Colony 1 for medical treatment. In a couple of days, I'll contact the researchers there to cooperate with us," Lenoya replied.

"Will Noer... be able to pull through?"

After hearing Lenoya's words, Asya felt very uncomfortable.

Why was the first reaction to cooperate?

Coupled with Aunt Lenoya's shocked and bewildered expression when she learned Noer had consumed the gene potion...

"Yes, he will!" Lenoya took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"I hope so..."

Looking at Aunt Lenoya's expression, Asya grew more worried.

Rewinding time~

Early morning, February 5th, C.E. 70!

PLANT, at the home of Councilor Siegel Clyne.

"Hello, hello~"

"Lacus?" Siegel Clyne was about to leave when he suddenly heard a hello from behind and stopped, looking back.

"Father, I wish you a safe journey!"

The person approaching held a small pink machine. She had light, soft, long pink hair, and a pair of blue-purple eyes set in fair, crystal-clear skin. Her long skirt billowed like waves, and a smile that made anyone who saw it feel happy graced her face, beautiful and dreamlike.

This was the one crowned with the name of Diva—Lacus Clyne.

"Hehe, thank you for your blessing!"

The proudest thing in Siegel Clyne's life was not that he and Patrick Zala had promoted PLANT, but that this daughter before him had inherited his will.

"Mr. Chairman, it's time," said the bodyguard responsible for Siegel Clyne's safety, stepping forward from outside the door.

"I know."

After hearing this, Siegel Clyne turned and smiled at Lacus, "I'm leaving now. If things go smoothly, I'll be back tomorrow."

"Everything will go smoothly!"

Lacus Clyne nodded with a smile, her dreamlike expression causing the bodyguard outside to momentarily lose himself.

"Bang~"

The car door closed, and the vehicle carrying Siegel, escorted by bodyguards, headed towards the shuttle.

What Siegel didn't know was that as he got into the car, one of the accompanying bodyguards silently pressed a certain button.

Outside Siegel's private shuttle, two men in military uniforms carrying repair tools slowly walked in. At the same time, the surveillance inside the airport experienced a brief stutter before returning to normal. However, the two men could no longer be found in the footage.

Across the starry sky, Copernicus/Moon Copernicus.

Today was the day the Secretary-General of the United Nations had convened a consultation meeting between PLANT and the member states.

Representatives from various forces had already gathered here.

"Who is representing PLANT this time?"

"It should be Siegel Clyne."

"That's good. I hope this matter can be resolved quickly."

"Who isn't? Whether Coordinators or Naturals, we all share the same origin. Why must we fight to the death?"

"It's a shame some people don't think so."

"Are you referring to...?"

However, Siegel Clyne, whom the attendees were discussing, was currently sitting in the shuttle with a grave expression.

"How much longer until we can take off normally?"

Siegel Clyne watched the gradually moving hands on his watch, an uncontrollable impatience rising within him.

Today was the agreed-upon day on the Moon to discuss how to resolve the conflict between PLANT and the Earth Alliance. Yet, upon arrival, he discovered that the shuttle had malfunctioned and could not take off smoothly.

Furthermore, due to the strategic deployment of PLANT that had just been approved at yesterday's meeting, there were no other available shuttles here temporarily...

If they had to be dispatched from elsewhere, it would take at least two hours!

"Reporting to you, Mr. Chairman, it will take about half an hour."

A man in a military uniform stepped forward.

"Half an hour? Have them fix it quickly!" Although Siegel Clyne was extremely anxious, he had no choice but to sit in the shuttle and wait.

Half an hour was still within an acceptable range.

Working two jobs, multitasking!

I feel like I'm going to die!

I've been outlining all night~~~

What about the heroine, though!

What do I do if I can't find a suitable heroine~~~

Maybe... I'll start a harem too?

I'm going crazy, going crazy!!!
