總部隊眾人在會議室中，主顯示器的畫面已經連結了NO6的執行官終端資料。
她們正在企圖拆解NO6過去收到的NO1資料。
/
『檔案**。遺落文明的惡之必要性審判：存在實驗品。』
「噁～」 NO5「光是這個標題，我相信我也會跟NO6一樣按下拒絕。」
NO2「我沒收到這個過。」
NO3「打開來看看吧。」
一段影像。
但很顯然不是真實影像，而是動畫技術。
甚至刻意採用比較落後、或者說明顯是動畫的風格製成。
『如果執行官不在NO1系統打造，
而是魂質被竊走，
在常世中打造為一個維度層內個體。
那將是一種違反審判原則的活物實驗。
本庭嚴格禁止。
執行官只允許在NO1系統中經其意願允許而存在，並隨時可經意願允許而終止活動。』
動畫中，是一個陌生、沒有面孔的女性，
在常世中流連、即使是執行官的魂質身份，
卻似乎被刻意隱瞞。

「悲劇呢。...」NO3。
「這種事情會發生嗎？」NO5問。
「裡面也說了，終點審判庭不允許。但是是什麼在負責監督這件事？NO1系統？」NO3。
「看起來更像只是在告訴我們原則。」NO2。
「或是提醒我們，不被允許做這些事情。」NO5
「誰會做這種事？」NO3
NO6則一直沉默。
「為什麼NO1系統有這種想像？執行官不可能被放進常世，本質就不能。」
NO3「也許就像NO5說的，這是一種What if 惡夢，技術上不會發生，不代表就不能表態嚴禁。」
眾人沉默。

The headquarters team had gathered in the Ending Judgement Court's conference room.
The main display was connected to NO6's executive terminal, giving the others access to the NO1-level data she had received in the past.
Together, they were attempting to examine and decipher those records, particularly the ones NO6 had previously refused.
One file appeared on the screen.
FILE ** — THE JUDGEMENT OF NECESSARY EVIL IN A LOST CIVILIZATION: AN EXPERIMENTAL EXISTENCE
"Ugh." NO5 made a face. "Just reading that title makes me think I'd have hit Reject too, exactly like NO6."
"I've never received this one," NO2 said.
"Let's open it," NO3 suggested.
The file contained a video.
It was clearly not actual footage. The entire sequence had been produced using animation, and rather conspicuously outdated animation at that.
The movements were simplified, the visual details limited. There was no attempt to make the scene look realistic.
If anything, the presentation seemed deliberately designed to remind its viewers that they were watching an animation.
Text appeared over the footage.
"If an executive officer were created outside the NO1 system, her soul essence stolen and reconstructed as an individual confined to a dimensional layer within the Living World—
Such an act would constitute experimentation upon a living being in direct violation of the principles of judgement.
The Ending Judgement Court strictly prohibits this practice.
Executive officers may exist only within the NO1 system, with their own voluntary consent. They must also remain free to terminate their activities whenever they choose, according to their own will."
The animation depicted an unfamiliar woman.
She had no face.
Not merely an obscured face, but one that had never been drawn in the first place.
She wandered through the Living World, moving among the ordinary surroundings of a civilization contained within its own dimension.
Nothing about her appearance suggested anything unusual.
Yet according to the description, her soul essence belonged to an executive officer.
That identity appeared to have been deliberately concealed from her.
The contradiction was disturbing.
An existence that should never have been placed in such circumstances was being presented as an ordinary individual within the Living World.
"That's a tragedy..." NO3 murmured.
"Could something like that actually happen?" NO5 asked.
"The file itself says the Ending Judgement Court forbids it," NO3 replied. "But what exactly oversees the enforcement of that rule? The NO1 system?"
"It looks more like a statement of principle," NO2 observed.
"Or a reminder that we're not permitted to do such things," NO5 added.
"Who would even do something like that?" NO3 wondered.
NO6 had remained silent throughout the discussion.
Her attention stayed on the display.
"Why would the NO1 system even conceive of such a scenario?" she finally asked.
"An executive officer cannot be placed inside the Living World. The very nature of our existence makes that impossible."
Her objection was direct and unequivocal.
To NO6, this was not merely a question of whether such an act was permitted. It contradicted the fundamental nature of an executive officer's existence.
"Perhaps it's what NO5 was talking about earlier," NO3 replied thoughtfully.
"A what-if nightmare."
She considered the animated scenario.
"Something being technically impossible doesn't mean the system can't explicitly declare it forbidden."
The room fell silent.

「我是否可認為，NO1系統保守的評估，假設有系統權限超越了其存在？」NO2發言。
「我破解的NO1資料任務，有大量基於這種背景。基於『設若NO1系統無法以終點審判庭的意志方向進行管轄和操作』。」NO2。
「妳是怎麼冷靜的看著那些東西？」NO3。
「不一樣，我收到的多半在於原則代碼所編譯的沙盒或演算序，而非像這個—」NO2示意了剛剛眾人觀看的片段「這是假設情境、倫理、存在學與道德思想。」
NO3「我看過的大部分都指出是劇本。沒有那麼直接指涉執行官本身的危害。」「但是想想，原來只是角色不同。」
NO5「角色不同？」
NO3「將悲劇改寫成喜劇。這在我們的任務本來就常見。但我們的任務對象通常是常世時軸中的個體。」她稍微停頓「但換做對象是執行官的話，其實本質差距不大。」
NO6「吾...不太理解？」
NO3「簡單說，我們都預設這些事情不可能發生在執行官們身上，不可能發生在終點文明。
各方面也確實不可能。」
她的意識一動，螢幕上的投影片就切換。
「沒有什麼可以改變我們存在的形式，
就連要把能力從我身上取消，
也沒有辦法。
嚴格來說，這是我們自己的魂質意識所打造的能力。」NO3。
「除非有人說服妳自願放棄能力。」NO2。
「哪個執行官會那麼傻？」NO3皺眉。
NO5率先看向NO6。
「？為何要看吾？」
NO2與NO3也看過去。
「她不可能。她可是最一板一眼的士兵執行官。」NO2。
「對，但如果像是小女友要求的呢？」NO5。
「為何天王星雪需要做這種要求？！毫無合理性！」NO6的瞳孔睜大。
全體沉默。
ChatGPT
"Would it be reasonable to assume that the NO1 system is making a conservative assessment of a hypothetical situation in which another system's authority exceeds its own?" NO2 asked.
"A substantial number of the NO1 assignments I've cracked were built around that premise. Specifically, scenarios in which the NO1 system could no longer govern or operate according to the will of the Ending Judgement Court."
"How do you manage to look at those things so calmly?" NO3 asked.
"They're different," NO2 replied. "Most of what I receive consists of sandboxes or computational sequences compiled from fundamental principle codes, rather than something like this—"
She indicated the animation they had just watched.
"This presents a hypothetical situation involving ethics, ontology, and moral philosophy."
NO3 considered that distinction.
"Most of the material I've received is explicitly presented as scripts. Nothing so directly concerned with the potential harm of executive officers themselves."
She paused.
"But thinking about it now, perhaps the only difference is who plays the roles."
"Different roles?" NO5 asked.
"Turning tragedy into comedy. That's something we already do quite frequently in our regular assignments," NO3 explained. "Except our subjects are usually individuals within the Living World's timelines."
She paused briefly.
"But if we replaced those individuals with executive officers, the fundamental nature of the task wouldn't actually change very much."
"I... do not quite understand," NO6 admitted.
"Simply put, we've always assumed that these things couldn't possibly happen to executive officers. That they couldn't happen within the civilization of the Ending."
NO3 continued calmly.
"And by every measure we know, they genuinely cannot."
With a shift of her consciousness, the presentation on the main display advanced to another slide.
"Nothing can forcibly change the form of our existence. Even if someone wanted to strip me of my abilities, they couldn't."
She regarded the information on the screen.
"Strictly speaking, those abilities are constructs of our own soul-essence consciousness."
"Unless someone persuaded you to give them up voluntarily," NO2 added.
"What executive officer would be foolish enough to agree to that?" NO3 frowned.
NO5 was the first to turn toward NO6.
"...?"
"Why are you looking at me?" NO6 asked.
NO2 and NO3 followed NO5's gaze.
"She wouldn't," NO2 said matter-of-factly. "She's the most rigidly disciplined soldier among our executive officers."
"True," NO5 agreed.
"But what if her little girlfriend asked her to?"
"WHY WOULD U.ICY EVER NEED TO MAKE SUCH A REQUEST?! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR IT!"
NO6's pupils widened dramatically.
Everyone fell silent.

「現在我們明確得到資訊了。」NO5緩緩說。
「第一。NO6知道她的小女友就是天王星雪。」她帶著戲謔看著NO6
「吾...！」NO6像是想辯解。
「第二。她的情緒在這個話題上似乎超過系統中認定的執行官穩定值。」
「！...」NO6的瞳孔縮回了正常尺寸。
「第三。我們無法保證有沒有可能在這點被操弄。」
「第四。我們對天王星雪，儼然沒有我們對彼此這麼熟悉。」
「第五。她有NO1權限，她接觸NO1資料。她，比我們在場更難預測。」
眾人都看向NO5。
「一個明確待修補的漏洞。」NO2。
「我不得不同意，這個可能性存在。」NO3看向NO6。
「.........」眾人在等她反應。
「吾...認為NO5的分析有其道理。吾有時候也不是很確定自己的反應。...」NO6微微低頭。
「似乎，只要是她的話。...或是說雪版本的話。...」她甚至微微別過臉。
「然而，吾絕對沒有因此失去風險意識。」NO6停下來了。
「目前為止。...吾沒有。...」
眾人沉默。
ChatGPT
"Well, now we've established a few things rather clearly," NO5 began slowly.
"First. NO6 knows perfectly well that her little girlfriend is U.Icy."
She gave NO6 a teasing look.
"I...!" NO6 immediately seemed ready to protest.
"Second. Her emotional responses concerning this particular subject appear to exceed the stability parameters normally associated with an executive officer."
"...!"
NO6's pupils contracted to their usual size.
"Third. We cannot guarantee that this vulnerability couldn't be exploited or manipulated."
"Fourth. We don't know U.Icy nearly as well as we know one another."
"Fifth. She possesses NO1-level clearance. She's been accessing NO1 data. That makes her considerably harder to predict than anyone else in this room."
Everyone turned toward NO5.
"A clearly identifiable vulnerability that needs to be addressed," NO2 observed.
"I'm afraid I have to agree. That possibility does exist." NO3 looked toward NO6.
"........."
The others waited for her response.
"I... believe NO5's analysis has merit."
NO6 lowered her head slightly.
"There are times when even I am not entirely certain about my own reactions..."
She hesitated.
"It seems that whenever it concerns her... or perhaps the Icy versions in general..."
Her face turned slightly away from the others.
"However, I have absolutely not lost my awareness of potential risks because of this."
NO6 stopped.
"So far... I have not..."
The room fell silent.

!NO1系統允許執行官依照自己的存在意願決定她們自己的樣子和生活
但是NO1系統可能知道、或是預測過很多悲劇
如果她們是本質上就不會接受那些悲劇，當然合理
可是像天王星雪這種更加有自主想法，或是身份離終點審判庭的核心稍微遠一點點的，很可能會基於某種原因走偏
而如果執行官為了私人情感或是任何原因袒護了走偏這件事
也可能會是其中一個執行官在某個經歷中被質變、改變想法，反過來危害群體
甚至整個過程可能都沒有惡意，只有『未意識到這些風險』而盲目走向威脅到執行官安全的可能發展。

The discussion continued.
"I think there's something we're overlooking," NO3 said thoughtfully.
She glanced at the presentation before turning back to the others.
"We've been discussing whether an executive officer could be forcibly changed. But what if no one needed to force anything?"
NO2 nodded slightly.
"The NO1 system allows executive officers to determine their own forms of existence and how they wish to live. That much is fundamental."
"But it doesn't necessarily guarantee that their decisions will always remain consistent," NO5 added.
"Correct," NO2 replied. "Our choices are voluntary. That doesn't make every possible consequence of those choices harmless."
NO6 looked up.
"Are you suggesting that an executive officer might voluntarily accept a harmful change?"
"Possibly," NO2 answered. "But there's another possibility. An executive officer might not even recognize that a particular decision is harmful."
"That's much more troublesome," NO3 observed.
"Exactly. We keep assuming that an executive officer would naturally reject anything that threatens the Ending Judgement Court. But that assumes every potential threat is immediately recognizable as one."
NO5 leaned back in her chair.
"And what if the NO1 system has already calculated a great many tragic outcomes that we haven't even considered?"
"That remains speculation," NO2 cautioned.
"Of course. But consider those assignments. Some of them are practically nightmares designed around situations that shouldn't be possible."
NO3 nodded.
"And perhaps the point isn't whether those situations are possible under our current understanding. It's whether our understanding accounts for every way an executive officer's decisions might change."
NO6 remained attentive.
"However, U.Icy has demonstrated considerable commitment to the Ending Judgement Court," she said. "She would not intentionally endanger it."
"I don't think anyone is suggesting otherwise," NO3 replied gently.
"That's precisely the distinction," NO2 continued. "An individual can genuinely wish to protect something while making decisions that ultimately place it at risk."
"Without realizing it," NO5 added.
"Yes."
NO2 paused.
"And if another executive officer chooses to defend those decisions out of personal loyalty, the risk could spread without either individual intending any harm."
NO6's expression grew more serious.
"Then... even the act of protection could become a contributing factor?"
"Depending on what is being protected," NO2 answered.
NO3 considered the question.
"Imagine someone gradually changing her understanding of what is right. Not because she has been deceived, but because of what she's experienced."
"Her priorities change," NO5 said.
"And someone who cares about her might interpret those changes as perfectly reasonable," NO3 continued. "Even if those same decisions would have raised serious objections under different circumstances."
NO5 looked toward NO6.
"Especially if that someone already trusts her more than anyone else."
"..."
NO6 did not immediately respond.
"There's another important distinction," NO2 said.
"An executive officer's consciousness can change through experience without any external alteration of her fundamental existence."
"Which means our abilities could remain completely intact," NO5 observed.
"Our authority, our identities, our freedom of choice. Everything could still function exactly as intended."
"And yet our decisions might no longer serve the same principles," NO3 finished.
NO2 nodded.
"Precisely."
For a while, NO6 studied the information displayed before them.
"Then... if an executive officer underwent such a change, how would we determine whether her decisions had become dangerous?"
"That's an excellent question," NO3 replied.
"And not necessarily an easy one," NO2 added. "A disagreement alone is not evidence of danger. Independent judgement is part of what makes us autonomous."
"Otherwise, we'd simply be demanding that everyone think alike," NO5 remarked.
"Which would contradict the very principles we're discussing," NO2 said.
NO3 rested her gaze on the earlier assignment.
"Perhaps that's why I find the idea of turning tragedy into comedy so interesting."
She spoke more quietly.
"In our regular assignments, we deal with individuals whose decisions can lead to tragic consequences. Sometimes those decisions are made with perfectly good intentions."
"But we usually observe them from outside their timelines," NO5 pointed out.
"Exactly."
NO3 looked around the conference room.
"What if the subjects of those possibilities were ourselves?"
NO6 was silent.
"An executive officer might gradually change her beliefs. Another might defend her out of loyalty. Someone else might trust both of them."
NO3 paused.
"And by the time anyone recognized the danger, everyone involved might still sincerely believe they had been doing the right thing."
"No villain," NO5 murmured.
"No deliberate betrayal," NO2 added.
"Just decisions," NO3 said.
NO6 lowered her gaze.
"I... understand the concern."
She paused to consider her words.
"However, protecting U.Icy and agreeing with every decision she makes are not equivalent."
"No, they aren't," NO2 agreed.
"And neither are trusting someone and assuming that person cannot be wrong," NO3 added.
NO6 nodded slowly.
"That distinction... is necessary."
NO5 watched her for a moment.
"But it's much easier to understand that distinction here, sitting in a conference room, than when someone important to you is actually involved."
"..."
NO6 looked toward her.
NO5's expression was unusually serious.
"And that's the part we can't evaluate just by looking at your current operational stability."
NO6 did not argue.
"So perhaps the most dangerous possibility isn't that an executive officer suddenly becomes malicious," NO3 said.
"It's that an executive officer changes without realizing how far her judgement has shifted."
"And everyone around her continues to believe that nothing important has changed," NO2 added.
NO5 folded her arms.
"All while the NO1 system might already have predicted where those perfectly innocent decisions could lead."
"Again, only a possibility," NO2 reminded her.
"I know."
NO6 looked once more at the records from her own terminal.
"Then... the purpose of these hypothetical tragedies may not necessarily be to demonstrate the existence of an enemy."
She hesitated.
"Perhaps they are asking whether we can recognize a threat... even when no one involved intends to cause one."
NO3 regarded her thoughtfully.
"That's one possible interpretation."
"And a rather uncomfortable one," NO5 admitted.
NO2 nodded.
"Because in that situation, identifying the danger would require us to question decisions made by people we genuinely trust."
NO6 remained quiet.
This time, she offered no immediate objection.

像是為了轉換嚴肅的會議氣氛。
「妳們看看我們最忠誠的任務執行官NO6這邊有什麼？」
她將投影焦點移動到某個角落的資料夾捷徑。
那裡寫著『雪兔伺服器管理人觀察記錄』。
「吾、吾的..！那沒有公開談論的必要！」
「還設了捷徑。」NO3接口。
「請停止再挖苦吾了！」NO6嘆了口氣。
「也許吾對她確實有好奇心。或是更多的關心。...」她坦白。
「也許是命中注定。至少妳這個樣子，好過我們完全不關心，然後等著天王星雪建立第二代終點審判庭，而我們總部隊全部都被派去常世洗窗戶。」 NO2。
眾人看向NO2。
「天王星雪...說過類似的話。」NO6。
「她真的意圖讓我們去常世洗窗戶？！」NO5驚訝的轉頭看向NO6。
「當然不是那樣！」「是她...曾經也用了『天造地設』這類的形容。...」NO6。
「妳何不搬去雪兔伺服器一段時間？」NO3。
「？！吾？？」NO6的瞳孔再次放大。
詭異的是。
她自己也感覺到了。
一股微小，不，明確。
不，是顯著的，顯著的欣喜情感。
在自己的內心蔓延。
「合理。讓NO1階級的持有者親手帶妳登上NO1。」NO2。
「我們這裡可是也有準NO1哦。」NO3看向NO2「總部隊的事情，我們可以處理的好。」
「去潛入敵營好好地了解一番大頭目。」NO5戲謔說。
「敵營是？...」NO6看向NO5。
「雪兔伺服器啊。」三人異口同聲。
ChatGPT
Perhaps hoping to lighten the increasingly serious atmosphere, NO5 turned her attention back to the terminal display.
"Now, let's see what our most loyal and dedicated executive officer, NO6, has tucked away over here."
She shifted the projection's focus toward a folder shortcut in one corner of the interface.
Its label read:
Snow Rabbit Server Administrator — Observation Records
"I... THAT'S MINE!" NO6 protested. "There is no need to discuss those records publicly!"
"And you've even made a shortcut for it," NO3 observed.
"Please stop making fun of me!" NO6 sighed.
She hesitated, then lowered her voice.
"Perhaps I really am curious about her. Or... perhaps I care about her more than I initially understood..."
"Perhaps it's destiny," NO2 remarked.
"At least this is preferable to all of us being completely indifferent, only to sit around waiting for U.Icy to establish a second-generation Ending Judgement Court and send the entire headquarters team off to wash windows in the Living World."
Everyone turned toward NO2.
"...U.Icy has said something similar before," NO6 admitted.
"What?!" NO5 turned sharply toward her.
"She actually intends to send us to the Living World to wash windows?!"
"Of course not!" NO6 protested immediately.
"I meant... she once used an expression along the lines of 'made for each other'..."
"Oh?" NO3 regarded her thoughtfully.
"Then why don't you move to the Snow Rabbit Server for a while?"
"?! ME?!"
NO6's pupils widened once again.
But something rather peculiar happened.
She noticed it herself.
A tiny sensation of happiness.
No.
A distinct sensation.
No, that wasn't accurate either.
It was significant.
A remarkably significant feeling of happiness was spreading through her consciousness.
And the more she recognized it, the harder it became to pretend she hadn't.
"Reasonable," NO2 said calmly. "You would have someone who already possesses NO1-level clearance personally guiding you toward attaining it yourself."
"And we do have someone who's practically a NO1 already," NO3 added, turning toward NO2.
"We can manage the headquarters team's responsibilities perfectly well."
"Think of it as infiltrating enemy territory," NO5 suggested mischievously. "Get in there and learn everything you can about the big boss."
"Enemy territory...?" NO6 turned toward her, puzzled.
"The Snow Rabbit Server, of course!"
All three answered in perfect unison.

會議結束後。
『有一件很嚴肅的事情，想與妳討論。』NO6的送信。
天王星雪放下手中的草莓冰淇淋。
「初代，請說。天王星雪會嚴陣以待。」
/
『吾...和終點審判庭 總部隊決議，吾若暫時借宿在雪兔伺服器，就近了解妳的任務狀況，並由妳—天王星雪提供指引，將是可能更快達到NO1階級的方式。
終點審判庭 總部隊 執行官代號 NO6，在此申請 雪兔伺服器 管理人 NO1 天王星雪的同意。』
天王星雪罕見的停頓了。
她只是看著顯示畫面中的來信。
眼前的冰淇淋杯還在那裡。
臉上平時的微笑依然在。
但視線卻顯得異常柔軟。
「初代。...」
『何？』
「天王星雪。同意。」
NO6鬆了口氣。
沒有奇怪的揶揄。
沒有突然的告白，
官腔對官腔。
這樣也好，最好了。
系統紀錄不需要留下奇怪、尷尬的成分。
她回頭看了正專注的NO3一眼。
她不確定同僚們對自己的看法。
或者說對自己與天王星雪之間的看法。
到底是鬧著玩的說說，
是祝福，還是完全只是玩笑。
還是，其實根本就擔心這是一場風險隱患。
『不論如何。第一目的。吾要獲得NO1階級。』NO6在心中下了決定。
ChatGPT
After the meeting had concluded, NO6 sent a message.
'There is something rather serious I would like to discuss with you.'
At the Snow Rabbit Server, U.Icy set down the strawberry ice cream she had been enjoying.
"First Generation, please go ahead. U.Icy will give this matter her full attention."
A new message appeared.
'I... have reached a decision together with the Ending Judgement Court headquarters team.
We believe that temporarily residing at the Snow Rabbit Server would allow me to observe your assignments more closely and receive direct guidance from you—U.Icy.
This may provide a more effective means of attaining NO1-level status.
Therefore, Ending Judgement Court Headquarters, Executive Officer Designation NO6, hereby formally requests the consent of Snow Rabbit Server Administrator, NO1 Uranus Icy.'
U.Icy paused.
An unusually long pause for her.
She simply stared at the message displayed before her.
The cup of strawberry ice cream remained where she had set it.
Her familiar smile had not disappeared.
Yet something about her gaze had changed.
It was remarkably soft.
"First Generation..."
A reply arrived.
'What is it?'
U.Icy looked at the message.
"Uranus Icy. Agrees."
NO6 breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
No peculiar teasing.
No sudden confession.
A formal request, followed by a formal response.
Good.
That was perfectly fine.
In fact, that was probably the best possible outcome.
There was no need to leave anything strange or embarrassing in the system's official records.
She turned her head slightly, glancing toward NO3, who remained absorbed in her work.
NO6 still wasn't entirely certain what her colleagues thought of her.
Or, more precisely, what they thought of her relationship with U.Icy.
Were they simply teasing her for amusement?
Were their remarks meant as encouragement?
Perhaps they were genuinely wishing her well.
Or was everything merely another running joke among the headquarters team?
Then again...
What if they were actually concerned?
What if, beneath all that teasing, they genuinely considered her growing attachment to U.Icy a potential vulnerability?
NO6 remained uncertain.
Her colleagues had raised legitimate concerns during the meeting. She could not simply disregard those concerns because the subject happened to involve someone she cared about.
But neither could she claim to understand every implication of their remarks.
She considered the matter quietly.
'Regardless. My primary objective remains unchanged.'
Her thoughts settled into a firm conclusion.
'I will attain NO1-level status.'
