On the other side, six hours after the test firing, a Mobile Suit cloaked in Mirage particles drifted slowly toward a destination in the L5 region.
"We're approaching Genesis Alpha. According to our informant, the defensive forces there have recently been strengthened. If the information is correct, Genesis is likely about to go online," Creuset said calmly.
"We have Rebuild and Oracle. Taking it down shouldn't be a problem. Where do you want to strike?"
"Of course, the Colony Satellite. Take out their food base in Junius City, and also destroy that annoying asteroid of He Kui's!"
Matiss's reasoning was sound. Without their food base, they would undoubtedly lose the confidence to stand against the Atlantic Federation. And if He Kui were eliminated, morale would plummet even further.
Moreover, if they secured Genesis Alpha, it would create a terrifying balance with Genesis. If PLANT fired at them, they could fire back. The power might be significantly less, but it would still be deadly enough.
And would the East Asian powers allow PLANT to fire? Clearly, they wouldn't.
"That's a good decision," Creuset finally smiled.
Hearing their conversation, Ash Gray also revealed a cruel smile.
As the battleship approached, they gradually shut down their engines, concealed by a nearby asteroid.
"Any closer, and we'll be exposed."
From this angle, they could see the A-shaped Genesis Alpha through the magnified lens.
Although it was also called Genesis, this Genesis was meant to signify humanity's wish to usher in a new cosmic era—without any intent of destruction.
However, it was clear that no one here thought that way.
As Rebuild and Oracle rapidly closed in, Aegis, hidden within the reflector in front of Genesis Alpha's emitter, also awakened.
"They really came," Sulei swallowed hard, watching the two highly oppressive Mobile Suits approaching, followed by what appeared to be units equipped with the Quantum Virus.
"What should we do? Should we contact He Kui?" Sulei was unsure of what to do in this situation.
"Of course, we have to tell him!" Shihe frowned.
Although they didn't know the specifics of this base, it was obvious to anyone that it was a massive cannon.
"Judging from its structure, this cannon is likely a Gamma Ray Emitter or something similar. The front end has a replaceable, disposable emitter. The power of this cannon is definitely not low."
"We can't let them take it."
"Right!" Sulei responded and, following the method He Kui had previously instructed, used an extremely covert quantum channel to contact him, who was still inside the base reviewing data.
"He Kui! Something terrible is happening! Are you alone right now?"
"Yes, I'm alone. What's wrong?" Though he asked, He Kui already had an idea in his mind.
"Oracle and Rebuild are here, along with several other Mobile Suits. It looks like they're equipped with the Quantum Virus!" Sulei shouted from the other end.
"We probably can't hold them off."
"I understand."
Genesis Alpha. So they really found it. But now wasn't the time to dwell on that.
The defenders alone would certainly be unable to stop them. Of course, he still had a backdoor plan.
However, Rebuild was not present, and neither were the other Mobile Suits infected with the Quantum Virus.
"What should we do now?"
"Let's use Aegis's channel to directly send the message to ZAFT. They probably used a Neutron Jammer to avoid exposure."
He Kui thought for a moment and spoke.
"I made some modifications to the Dragoons on Oracle, allowing the launched Dragoons to automatically target the signal source."
"When did you do that?"
"So, Creuset will be killed by his own Dragoons?"
Sulei asked repeatedly.
"Before, but perhaps he won't die. I originally wanted to install an automatic detonation device directly on the Mobile Suit, but that would be too easily detected. And it's best not to use this backdoor unless necessary."
Creuset has spatial awareness and could dodge the Dragoons, and with his superhuman intuition, he might not die.
The best time to strike would be during their confrontation.
Right now, he doesn't have any usable Mobile Suits, and even if he did, he couldn't operate them.
"What about Rebuild?"
"Rebuild can't be kept even if we wanted to."
He Kui said helplessly.
As they spoke, everyone silently began their tasks.
Over there, Sulei used Aegis's covert communication to send a message to ZAFT's communication system.
Not a single mistake, not a single word, not a single piece of content was missed!
Meanwhile, Shihe was controlling Aegis, quietly entering the interior of Genesis a through the maintenance channel using internal codes before they arrived.
Inside Genesis a, they had already noticed the enemy's approach.
Especially the signals from Rebuild and Oracle, which were not unfamiliar to them. The internal alarms were already blaring.
Unfortunately, the Atlantic Federation had quietly deployed Neutron Jammers, making it impossible to send out any information from this region for the time being.
Of course, this didn't include He Kui's quantum communication.
In the chaotic base, no one noticed the presence of Aegis, which was being controlled by Shihe and was continuously moving deeper along unmanned paths towards the server.
Originally, the Mobile Suits defending here should have been Rebuild and Covenant.
Now, Rebuild was on the opposite side, and Covenant had become Liberator, so it wasn't here either.
But in the original timeline, Covenant was stolen by the Atlantic Federation using just one Skygrasper.
Although it sounds absurd.
Indeed, they used a Skygrasper to steal Covenant from Genesis a.
That's why he had always been so tense.
The seemingly tight defenses definitely still had serious loopholes.
"Our gates are being breached! Their Quantum Virus is continuously attacking our firewall!"
The personnel in the command center panicked.
Although they had PS Armor here and could turtle up, they were helpless against the virus.
"Hold on, what is the electronic department doing?!"
"There's no way..."
"Estimated to be breached in five minutes."
The personnel in the electronic department now spoke with fear.
Although they had a Quantum Firewall, the opponent's Quantum Virus had been upgraded again, and with four Mobile Suits' Quantum Viruses invading simultaneously, they were indeed stretched thin.
"Prepare the defense squad, initiate the self-destruct program."
"No! They've hacked our self-destruct program too."
As they spoke, the entire base slowly began to move.
"They... are targeting our Colony Satellite!"
The previously panicked green-uniformed personnel now looked at the words on the screen with despair.
"Emergency manual override!"
"Wait! Our firewall is being repaired?"
Just as the commander, his face pale with tension, was issuing the order, he was interrupted by the officer in green responsible for electronic warfare.
"What? Why?"
"It seems an external force is using computational power to help us block the attack, right within our internal servers."
"This..."
The situation was too bizarre. For a moment, the commander didn't know whether to feel relieved or uneasy, and he fell silent.
At this point, everyone in the command center had completely lost control of the base. It was as if two unknown forces were now engaged in a remote battle.
