"...Ha, I'm finally back." After finishing her meeting with the top management of Macross-Border, Olga returned to the Fishing Fire with an exhausted attitude. She didn't even know where to throw the tie she bought specially for the formal occasion.
Mikazuki, who had a tissue stuffed in her nose, asked, "Did the negotiation fail?"
"The position on our side should be considered a success." In front of her younger brother, Olga had to try to cheer up, but there was no substantial change. "It was just one person negotiating with five people, and the momentum was originally at the same level. When I was downwind, some of the other party played good and bad, as if they were deliberately setting a trap for me... I tried my best to rethink every sentence, but I might have become the victim of it in their eyes."
By the way, the accountant uncle also participated in the meeting. However, he has a weak personality and only exists as a tool person who can read large amounts of text quickly. He has never expressed an opinion on major issues related to Tekkadan's future.
Eugene asked hurriedly: "So, what was the final outcome?"
Olga looked around and found that all the members were here, so there was no need to change places. She said seriously: "Our core demand is to [install the space jump system on the Yuhuo and obtain the right to live here]. It is inevitable to reveal some information, and I have already said hello to Senior Feiton beforehand."
Xino scratched his head and said: "There is no way. If you want to be a businessman in the Macross circle, it is a hard condition to install a space jump system on the ship. If we don't reveal the information, we can't explain how we got here."
"As for the consequences of leaking intelligence." Olga grinned, "If you think about the worst, we have no backing and can easily be wiped out by others; if you think about the good, we have no connection with other camps. , is a clean temporary combat force."
Although it is only a one-sided statement, the composition of the younger members of the Tekkadan is a kind of evidence. Even the male secretary who makes a fool of himself does not think that the Earth Federation Army will send a group of children as spies.
"The situation here is very urgent. No one knows when the bugs will attack again. All combat power that can be put to use immediately is precious." Not only the VF series of variant fighters cannot be replenished in a short time, but the training of combatants is also a problem. It was a long process, which is why a girly-looking aerobatic performer was later lobbied to join the army. "Despite this, the space jump technology is too sensitive, and they won't agree to provide it to us directly, so we can only accept cooperation."
"Cooperation?" Sanriyue asked doubtfully.
Olga replied: "Macross-Border will send some personnel to be stationed on the Yuhuo, and every use of the space jump function requires their authorization."
"Tsk~ Supervisor!" Eugene gritted his teeth.
"I personally think this is an acceptable result." Olga herself doesn't like to be supervised, but she has to play the role of a persuader at this time. "In addition, if it weren't for the current situation, people wouldn't even accept this plan. .”
Eugene said deflatedly: "Okay...is there anything else in the deal?"
Olga responded: "Give Qiligu's mobile suit to them and replace it with a variant fighter. Their technicians will be responsible for the maintenance... Akihiro, you may need to learn how to drive another mecha, but its Positioning is for tactical purposes and generally does not require direct combat with enemy mobile suits."
"Understood." After seeing the strength of Qi Ligu and Fiana, Akihiro knew that this arrangement was okay. In fact, if the mobile suit snatched from the federal army did not have a port for the Alaya Consciousness System, the transfer would be As a result, Mikazuki's operational level dropped significantly, and the Barbatos Gundam with the strongest performance should be assigned to Qiligu.
Well, this can be regarded as a bargain and he behaved well. He piloted a highly mobile variant fighter plane to perform special missions. In fact, his survival rate was even higher.
"It won't matter after that. We don't need to obey the army's orders. We can protect Macross-Border according to our own judgment." Regarding this point, there was a heated exchange of words during the meeting. Olga didn't want to be used as cannon fodder, but she didn't. It is necessary to tell the details of the negotiation.
Sanriyue nodded: "That's okay."
The content of this deal actually involves the leakage of MS technology of the Earth Federation Army. This is also a major bargaining chip for Olga, but other members do not care about it.
Olga clapped her hands hard, asking everyone to focus on herself, and said loudly: "Four months! No matter how long the war here lasts, this combat mission will only last four months, and we are alone We can’t all die at the hands of bugs, we need everyone to return to the solar system in an orderly manner and pick up Biskate and the others from school!”

When Tekkadan revealed his identity, Feiton was bound to be implicated, and officials from Macross-Border came to his door as expected.
but--
"Look at the atmosphere, don't you see us enjoying the time without shame?" Feiton did not intend to meet with the president and the captain.
"Well, I have something to say." Ozma looked at the car that Feiton had raised with one hand. He was stunned for two seconds before reacting, and stood in front of his ex-girlfriend who had fallen to the ground. "What she said just now was... Question, she just wanted to say that the situation is urgent and she may be attacked a second time at any time, she is not threatening you."
"Well, it seems I misunderstood." Feiton put down the car with a smile, patted the non-existent dust on his hands and said, "Miss, be careful with your words, I almost smashed you into a pulp with a car."
"Hey...!" The female officer was so frightened that she couldn't stand up.
"The army is doing things, what are you looking at? Do you believe they are arresting you and putting you in jail?" Feiton turned around and scolded the passers-by who were watching. The reason for expelling the passers-by was quite funny, and the passers-by were more afraid of him than the army.
After the passers-by dispersed, Feiton sat back at the outdoor teahouse and waved his eviction order: "I don't know how Olga introduced you. I can only tell you that those insects have nothing to do with me... If Basara hadn't If I were wandering around looking for inspiration, I wouldn’t be here at all.”
Ozma looked at his girlfriend in front of him and could only do the lobbying work on her behalf: "We may be able to reach some kind of deal, just like we did with Tekkadan."
Without thinking, he said: "No, I don't need anything for the time being. Please let us spend money here as tourists. I will leave immediately after seeing your excitement."
"...Excuse me." Ozma grinned, wanting to complain about the other person's bad personality, but considering that the small pistol on his body probably had no deterrent effect at all, he could only pull his ex-girlfriend and get in the car.
The distance between the car doors brought a false sense of security, and the female officer said: "This man is a huge security threat!"
"Are you thinking too much?" Ozma patted the driver's shoulder. The poor man who had been sitting in the car was still shaking, and replied, "People who like to listen to Fire-Bomber's songs are not Bad guy."
The female officer widened her eyes and said, "What kind of outrage are you talking about?!"
"To put it another way," Ozma smiled, "a man who leads a group of child laborers as scrap dealers out of kindness, no matter how bad he is, has a certain standard."
Some people died, but not completely...
