Back in Liberty Dianna is reading a report apparently someone is messing with Grand Trading...
Just a week ago 2 transport vehicles was attacked and although the attack was successfully defended by the drones and unmanned mech by Gaia, Dianna thought it must have been an isolated incident but just 3 days ago their warehouse in Liberty as attacked its one of the small warehouses they rented in the outer Liberty to store materials. Because of the huge amount of traffic in their sales mountains upon mountains of materials are coming their way and their current transport ship is not enough to transfer all of it to Messiah and so Dianna decided to rent several warehouses in outer Liberty to store these excess materials to be transferred on the later date.
And off course, Dianna would put security in it but this time it's different as the attack was not to steal but to destroy maybe because they think it is pointless to steal as they will never succeed, so they resorted to destroying...
And this what trouble Dianna if the attackers resort to destruction instead of stealing then it's not a simple robbery anymore someone is behind it. Dianna guess is the remnant of HFA or it could also be just anyone as with the rise of Grand Trading many competitors were put to pasture. One of them is the Omega Foundation as they used to be the no.1 source of military equipment for humanity and Omega foundation is just one of the few. And even though Omega Foundation is also now purchasing military equipment from Grand Trading that doesn't mean they want to they are just forced by the circumstances.
And that's not all back on earth those mysterious Grey man is also acting again attacking Grand Trading outpost all over the earth but that's Oda problem so Dianna is not worried about it. In this kind of situation, Dianna missed Arc as no matter how brilliant she is and even with upgrades military action and such is not her forte. Luckily there's Gaia to help her but in Liberty Gaia's influence is minimal not like on earth who she has total control of the internet.
In Liberty, the net was controlled by a superpower in the main Universe. And no matter how to advance Gaia is she can't mess with the Galactic net. And in Liberty, all things revolve around Galactic net. The First Bank uses it for transaction and digital currency conversion and many more. So the only thing Gaia can do is protect Grand Trading assets through Drones and Droids in Liberty.
And so Dianna asks for more Shadow unit from Oda to be sent to Liberty luckily the training of new Shadow unit is continues and so there's enough shadow unit to send but Oda won't send fresh shadow unit to Liberty as the situation on Liberty is 100 times more dangerous than on earth so Oda would only send veteran Shadow Unit to help Dianna. And there goes the problem all veteran unit is busy leading their team on earth as there are many things that need to be done in order to completely control Earth.
Just controlling the leaders is not enough Oda wants to eliminate all hidden danger on earth and right now the Grey man is his priority. For some reason, this Grey man has a technology to hide from any CCTV monitoring Camera its different from the stealth technology suit of Shadow Unit. Grey man only hides them from any camera and not to the naked eyes.
But despite that, it gives Gaia a hard time to locate them, and they are not the only problem HFA remnant on earth is also acting up and despite the fact they are already defeated HFA used to be Humanities top superpower and the means and foundation they built is not something that can be destroyed overnight.
Having said that Oda is not really bothered by those things he knows it is only a matter of time before earth falls completely under Grand Trading.
So Oda leaves the affair on Earth to Sora and Haruka to deal with while he focuses on building military power on Messiah.
....
Dianna and Tiffa are on their way to the warehouse who has been attacked and although the attack is unsuccessful and no materials are damage Dianna is still worried as every material is important to the growth of Grand Trading. So she decided to personally visit it along with Tifa and 2 teams of Shadow Units.
On the way Dianna was Talking to Oda and Gaia on how to strengthen the defenses on all Grand trading temporary warehouses Ash already did his job to secure network defenses and that's foolproof especially since Gaia is monitoring it all the time.
Before Dianna goes to the warehouse she will first inspect the first non-system production line in Liberty. The Production Facility is located inside 50 kl Grand Trading Headquarters.
These production facilities are the hard work of the Science and Technology department of Grand Trading Afterall it's not easy to replicate the system factory and in fact, it's impossible to do so but that doesn't mean they can't make a downgraded version of it and these production facilities are exactly that.
Dianna saw a 15 story 100,000 meters octagonal building this is the first non-system production facility. this facility's main focus is the production of POV weapons this is the next product of Grand Advanced Technology. After all, not all fights happen on space and all soldiers need a personal weapon and so Dianna as well as all top executives of Grand Trading decided to create a POV weapon for soldiersā¦ Before the sales of Drones and such goes down.
Imagine just how many soldiers there are in GFA. The number is on tens of millions and that's just GFA even if only 1 percent is armed by Grand Trading equipment that's still a good amount of income.
And so Grand Advance Technology decided to create 5 new POV weapons base on Shadow Unit and Grand Army weaponry.
It's a downgraded version of course since Grand Army uses weapons created by Weapons Factory. And Dianna can't sell those as it is Grand trading ace in a hole. And manufacturing using System Factory requires a lot of materials, and so they decided to create a non-system production factory downgrading a weapon that is easy enough for the Science and Technology department. They even pick the cheapest materials that would not affect the performance too much and still maintain the advance and reliability of the weapon. Not to mention all this weapon is all energy base something humanity lack.
Dianna and Tiffa saw countless mechanical arms rows upon rows of it these mechanical arms are responsible for weapon assembly of course the parts a created elsewhere especially the battery it is the most important component of POV energy type weapons. And it is also a top-secret technology from Grand Trading. And so many security countermeasures are created to ensure its secrecy. Dianna and the rest know that many superpowers would do anything to learn and reversed engineers these battery but with the security place that came from a system, it is hack-proof these security features are the only parts created by the system and these features are present to all Grand trading products.
The tests are already been completed and the only thing remains are to mass-produce it.
After inspecting the facilities Dianna is very happy with what she is seeing her job is to make money for her Boss that's her only job, and she intends to do it will all her capabilities in order to help her Boss with his dreams,
Dianna nodded and the facilities immediately started operating. Dianna and Tiffa didn't linger they still have a lot to do. As this is just the first part of her stop for today.
