Wouldn’t they just end up in empty space?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Ah…….』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the orbit embedded in the coordinates didn’t account for the variable of the planetary ship, that’s probably exactly what would happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Then what do you think would happen?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to provide a definitive answer, Earth threw the question back at Yeongwoo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the cheeky little hybrid made a sweeping gesture in the air and said something crazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Typesetter is that amazing, then it must’ve predicted even the rise of planetary ships. After all, it was the Typesetter that wrote down the future where I marry the Princess of the Sun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glanced at Pluto—Svera, the dwarf planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we become planetary ships and start carrying the solar system around, of course that’ll affect things on a galactic level too, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth tilted its head for a moment, then replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『You’re right. Planetary systems in our galaxy likely exert at least some indirect influence on each other.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. I think that’s what the Sun meant by ‘completeness.’ If the condition changes, even slightly affecting the galaxy, it becomes a burden.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Yeongwoo added something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But once we become planetary ships, we won’t be burdened by that anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『…Why not?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you not been listening? We no longer move along fixed orbits, so we can’t be reached or targeted using standard coordinates. Unlike regular planets, we can run away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fitting description for a cosmic band of space pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The moment you become a planetary ship, your original coordinates are likely discarded. Of course, in return…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo stopped talking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he couldn’t confidently predict what came next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『In return… what?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, we’re still planets, so we’ll probably be issued new coordinates.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If, by some chance, no new coordinates were assigned, then the planetary ship “Earth” would essentially become invincible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A planet that could move unpredictably—and couldn’t even be targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『New coordinates?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah. You’d need coordinates when docking somewhere, right? For visitors to come, you need a place for them to go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yeongwoo believed those coordinates wouldn’t contain the future path of the planetary ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Typesetter did know the trajectory, just as no one knows their own fated future, the path of a planetary ship would be no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around that time, the next item on the main cannon list appeared in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Red Lightning」 – Epic Ship Cannon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Output: 1200】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Max Charge Capacity: 2】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Firing Time: 15 seconds】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Energy Requirement: 1400】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Manufacturer: Kadusa】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Price: 2.1 billion Karma\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa, what’s this?
