Once Koutarou decided to cooperate with Fasta, they uncuffed her. Restraints were no longer necessary now that she was an ally. They only would have gotten in the way during the strategy meeting that quickly followed.

“At present, this is their most likely target,” Fasta shared, using her freed hands to project a hologram in the conference room. It showed classified intel she’d taken with her when escaping the faction.

“Is that... a map of the shipyard?” Koutarou asked.

“It is,” she replied. “Once it was decided where the new Blue Knight would be constructed, they began discussing possible strategies.”

Fasta was displaying detailed blueprints of the shipyard that Koutarou and the others had just inspected with an overlay indicating the facility’s regular operations. This map was how she’d been able to infiltrate the shipyard in the first place.

“They know that if they can sabotage the new Blue Knight, it will hamstring public morale, which is at an all-time high after winning the war and the return of the Blue Knight,” Fasta explained.

“That is certainly true,” Theia commented. “The Blue Knight reconstruction project is a symbol of the great Forthorthian restoration. It would make the perfect target if the enemy’s goal is to disrupt the economic upturn.”

Theia saw the merit of Ralgwin’s plan. He wasn’t targeting the Blue Knight to stymie Forthorthe’s military might; he wanted to deal a deadly blow to morale and the economy. That would hamper the Imperial Army far more than the loss of any one ship, for the military was dependent on funding as much as anything. It was a smart plan in Theia’s eyes—and that made her all the more uncomfortable.

“Okay, the real questions now are when and how they’ll attack,” said Koutarou.

He agreed with Theia. He felt an attack was inevitable, but Fasta had shared multiple plans for such an attack. They had no way of knowing which one the enemy would use or when they would spring their assault. Would it be today? In a year’s time?

“I think the answers are obvious enough,” said Kiriha. She could tell what the enemy was up to just glancing at the plans. “There’s a perfect opportunity coming up.”

“When?” Koutarou asked, concerned.

“In five days.”

“What? That’s awfully soon.”

“Indeed. They’ll descend on the dock making the torso,” she said further with absolute confidence.

“How can you tell, Kiriha-san?” Harumi asked. She believed in Kiriha, but there was too much at stake not to ask for details.

“As you know, the new Blue Knight is being constructed in parts at multiple blocks, and the torso will serve many of its critical functions as a space battleship,” Kiriha began.

“Whereas the arms and legs serve as weapons and armor, correct?” Harumi wasn’t well versed in weaponry, but she understood the general structure of the ship. She didn’t want to hold anyone back in an emergency, so she’d studied up.

“That’s right.”

Each part of the new Blue Knight was being built as a self-sufficient spaceship, but the equipment governing the fully assembled ship’s chief functions would primarily be housed in the torso.
