2-1. Event Overview


The commander was hunting down space pirates as usual when they encountered an unidentified ship being pursued by the pirates. Upon receiving a distress signal from the flagship, the commander accepted the rescue request, cleared out the pirates, and rescued the unidentified flagship. The individuals onboard introduced themselves as belonging to the E.M.U. patrol fleet, explaining that they had come here in pursuit of the previously encountered Distorted Crux, which had vanished beyond a nearby dimension rift. The patrol flagship requested an escort to collect information on Distorted Crux from beyond the dimension rift. Although the commander felt uneasy, the request was accepted and they moved through the dimension rift.


Upon arriving in the Crux star system via the dimension rift, the commander surveyed the surroundings but found no trace of the Distorted Crux. Just as the commander was about to suggest returning to the patrol flagship, a strong dimensional energy surge occurred at the rift they had crossed, causing it to vanish along with the energy surge. Sensing danger, the commander escorted the patrol flagship and expanded radar surveillance. Soon, a large Crux fleet was detected nearby, gradually surrounding the commander. Determined to break through before being completely surrounded, the commander rushed to what appeared to be the weakest point in the encirclement. However, the commander's attacks proved futile against the Crux siege. As the commander prepared for the worst, a new dimension rift activated at the site of the previous one, emitting a strong energy pulse. Within it emerged a blue-colored ship: the [EXELION]. With the arrival of the [EXELION], the commander and [EXELION] began to push back the Crux fleet. However, the patrol flagship suddenly attacked the [EXELION], making it perceive the commander as an enemy - the commander had to engage in inevitable combat with the [EXELION]. Despite being overwhelmed by the unfamiliar humanoid mecha of the [EXELION], the commander confirmed their camaraderie through continued communication. Recognizing each other as allies, the commander and the [Gunbuster Team] exchanged information about their respective situations. It was revealed that the [EXELION] had been brought to the ASTROKINGS universe due to a sudden energy surge while warping to Earth. The commander was surprised to learn that the humanoid mecha, Gunbuster, was not operating at full capacity as a result. While exchanging information, the commander received Emily's report that Crux fleets were closing in on their current sector, and requested cooperation from the [Gunbuster Team]. Understanding the current situation and aiming to return to their original world, the [Gunbuster Team] accepted the commander's request.
