"It really is a nation on a ship."
"Spaceships are ships too."
Although he had already learned this in the Public Chatroom, actually seeing it still left him somewhat awed.
Cities in space were not unheard of.
Take the Sky Garden, for example, which had probably been rebuilt by now.
But that had, after all, been right beside a planet.
This city called the Nation on the Ship was different.
It consisted of a fleet of four interconnected super-starships, suspended in this expanse of space.
Even worlds with a universe of their own still existed within the Wasteland.
The Train traveled along the tracks, with the force fields provided by the starships keeping it stable.
These starships came in different sizes.
The largest was the main body of the city Ye Qiyan was about to enter.
The First Mothership · Alphat.
The port's gates stood open.
Thousands of specially designed tracks connected to the black rails summoned by the Train itself.
As it entered, the Train gradually slowed until it passed into the all-too-familiar [Capsule Tunnel].
Hiss...
The Train stopped with a series of metallic scraping sounds.
Through the window, Ye Qiyan saw a human woman standing outside in a white uniform, a starship-patterned badge pinned to her chest, bowing respectfully toward the Train.
Several small robots followed beside her, assembling a path straight to the platform in front of the door.
"So, this time..."
Ye Qiyan looked around at those beside him.
Eve, Lisette, and WALL-E.
They were all looking at him.
Did he have to choose whom to take into this city?
No.
Only children made choices.
Why not just take them all?
There were still roughly ten days until the transaction deadline, anyway. He was going to have some proper fun.
As for... which identity to use.
