LOVE STORY III

The deadline is fast approaching. It is only a matter of time before humanity will officially declare the humans remaining in space as something just short of 100% human, enough so to call them alien. When they do, they will send real weapons, instead of the plastic toys Ship-Selves are practically identical too, and end this war in space.Today, Celestial Mechanics plans to launch their Ship-Self prototype Ascraeus Mons, developed in the dead volcanoes of Ares, which will never be Mars. It’s pilot’s mission? To reach the Lunar Gravity Well on Earth’s moon, where pilots from Memorial Foundation and Cradle’s Graces are already heading. Whoever controls that place, controls human access to space. Finally, they can push humanity to its next stage, seeing just how far from 100% human they can get.Kai, Celestial Mechanics’ problem child, however, isn’t all too interested in what they want, and he’s got his own master plan for the Ascraeus Mons, which doesn’t seem too commited to Chen’s theories of becoming alien.
