Star Hatching

On the same day, at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Hogan took a shower, changed his clothes, and got ready to go to school.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Mom...?" Hogan said, "Come in."

Yaqiong came in, holding a bento box, seeing Hogan reaching for the clothes, he picked it up and handed it to Hogan.

"Thank you." Hogan asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Yaqiong stuffed the bento box into Hogan's schoolbag: "Didn't you say that you would go to the laboratory with the senior after class in the afternoon? Take the bento and eat with the senior at night."

Hogan said: "The school has a cafeteria."

Yaqiong disagreed and said: "How can the food in the cafeteria be as nutritious as the ones at home? You are just about to make up for it. Mom wants to live here to take care of you and... have you named the child yet?"

Hogan froze: He and Cedric don't even have names!without!think!Pass!

Every time Cedric follows Hogan and calls him Huo Xiaogan, sometimes it is even a simple and rude "egg"... other people's children have names when they are in the mother's womb, but theirs are almost hatched Not even a name.

Looking at Hogan's expression, Yaqiong understood, and said with a smile: "You are too careless, let's think of a good name together when Sid comes back from the task."

Hogan nodded, and asked again: "Is it inconvenient for Mom to live here?"

"I can't let you live with your parents." Yaqiong said, "This place is close to your school, which is convenient for you to come back. When the cub is in the egg, it will be conscious. If it can't smell the mother's smell, it will be insecure." feel."

Hogan nodded. Yaqiong saw that he had no objection, which was completely different from the previous attitude when he insisted on paying the rent. Yaqiong froze for a moment, glanced away, and saw the ring on Hogan's ring finger.On the silver ring, the crest of the Dukuta family, drawn with the image of a Dukuta cub, shines.

Yaqiong smiled in his heart, he didn't ask much about young people.

Three fifty in the afternoon.

Cedric came to the armory, gave the certificate to the administrator, and took the pistol and space button.He acted without authorization before, and his equipment was confiscated.

Hogan walked out of classroom a202 of "Introduction to Mech Piloting" and went to classroom d507 of "A Preliminary Exploration of Nanomaterials".

Ten past four in the afternoon.

Cedric put the switched off communicator in the dormitory, changed his clothes, and stuffed the pistol by his waist.

Hogan texted Cedric during recess, asking him what he should name the cub.Knowing that the military academy has strict requirements, Cedric will not always wear the communicator, so Hogan put away the communicator after sending a text message, and opened the textbook.

Four fifteen in the afternoon.

Cedric boarded the plane and headed for the port.

The class bell rang, and Hogan received a text message. Angus asked him what time he would arrive in the laboratory. He replied to Angus that his mother made a bento for two and had dinner together in the evening.Looking at the communicator again, Cedric didn't reply, and Hogan didn't take it to heart.

Five p.m.

Sitting on the maglev vehicle heading to the port, Cedric took off the ring on his ring finger and put it in the inner pocket of his coat.

Hogan couldn't help smiling when he saw the crest of the Dukuta family while he was writing notes.

Six pm.

Cedric appeared at the second port of the imperial capital and walked into an unknown shop near the port.A man of the same build came out half an hour later, and the original Cedric was gone.

Hogan, who had left get out of class 15 minutes earlier, was having dinner with Angus.Angus couldn't find the person who posted it. He was anxious and worried, and his research hit a bottleneck again.After hearing that the college teacher asked Hogan to inquire about this matter, he became even more depressed.

"He still wants to talk to you tomorrow?" Angus said worriedly, "I'll go with you, at least I'm a graduate student, and doing research with you can be more convincing."

Seven o'clock in the afternoon.

Cedric sat down in a coffee shop as instructed, waiting for his partner to act together.

Hogan and Angus throw themselves into the experiment together.

Seven past five in the afternoon.

Partner appears.

"Are you...a peacock?" Edward, known as "Prince", said with a smile, "I am a 'fairy'."

Cedric: "..."

Edward said: "Why don't you talk? Well, my code name is not very good, but yours is the same, isn't it?" He patted Cedric on the shoulder, "You don't need to say it, I understand it, it's not a joke Food? Raise a wife, raise children, and own private money. I am talking to the boss, he already has a child, but he is happy, his wife wants to support him, it is best that he only needs to be in charge of being beautiful at home, you Said that my boss stepped on some kind of shit luck."

Cedric: "..."

Edward suddenly felt that something was wrong, the expression of the person opposite was very similar to that of his family's flowery boss.

"Boss...?" Edward tentatively asked. Seeing Cedric raised his eyebrows, he beat his chest and said, "Why is it really you? I thought there would be an old hand leading me."

Cedric: "..."

"Boss, don't get me wrong. I'm definitely willing to carry out missions with you. That's all I said. Last time I went to the base with you, my mecha was confiscated. There is no way. In order to get my dear mecha back, I just I can be a big one. With you here, the boss, I feel relieved." Edward said with a smile.

Cedric: "..."

Cedric puzzled, "Even if it's Carl, why would it be you? Where's Gabriel?"

Edward squeezed out a smile, flatteringly said: "Boss, at least I spend as much time with you as Carl."

Cedric gave this guy a sad look. From his golden hairstyle to his shiny outfit, no matter how you look at it, he is not a trustworthy subordinate!If he hadn't been able to bundle and give Gabriel as a gift, Cedric would never have asked for it.

"There are hundreds of soldiers pretending to be civilians on the outskirts, but there are only two of us in the port. Christian is very vigilant, and failed to arrest him several times. We can't arrange other people, in case Christian finds something unusual." Speaking of here , Cedric instructed in a low voice, "When you are meeting at night, don't talk too much."

Edward whispered: "You don't need to doubt my ability so much." He combed his hair with his fingers, and winked his eyes thinking he was handsome, "Boss, I'm your partner, partner, oh."

"..." Cedric made a gesture of holding the communicator, "You seem very happy, I should call Gabriel."

Edward's face changed, and he stood up quickly to stop him: "Don't make such a joke casually." If Gabriel knew that he had applied for this task, would he still have hope to continue making cubs?

Cedric stopped: "You are not allowed to bring a communicator, have you forgotten?"

Edward sat back resentfully, and before sitting down, he gently threw a wireless earphone into Cedric's hand.Cedric glanced at Edward, who nodded.

Cedric put on the earphones, and a mechanical female voice came from the earphones: "Please reply to the operation code."

"telescope."

"The password is correct, and the identity check is in progress... A team leader 'Peacock', with permission level B, is connecting for you... Please wait a moment."

Cedric and Edward exchanged glances, nodded, and walked out as if nothing had happened.

In this operation named after the code name "Telescope", the code names of the members of each unit are the names of the constellations of the Milky Way.Cedric's code name is "Peacock".
