[New Seoul Branch] Wheel of Trinity, 

request for test driver.

Hello. This is the UNION New York Branch.

Team Black Lambs of Special Task Force, New Seoul Branch, UNION

Team Wolfdog of Special Task Force, New Seoul Branch, UNION

Team Wildhüter of Special Task Force, New Seoul Branch, UNION

Team Rattus of Special Task Force, New Seoul Branch, UNION

Considering the aforementioned Closer teams’ performance and achievements, they have been selected as the test drivers of <Wheel of Trinity>, the auto-maneuver type phase-charged bike.

Wheel of Trinity is a part of the <Reverse project> which has been led by the UNION in secret

and is one of the replicas reproduced by analyzing and reverse engineering the technology of Dimensional monsters.

Therefore, many of its performance, operations, and versatility are still unknown.

At this time, we are sending 20 bikes to the main office of the New Seoul branch,

so please carry out the test following the instructions of built-in AI.

That's all for now.

Please do your best to contribute to the advancement of humankind.

Vice President of the UNION New York Branch.

Hildegard Veerman

“Wow... everybody, come see these bikes. Aren’t they the coolest?”

“There’s a pigeon as well.”

“M-Mirae. That’s no pigeon; it’s a state-of-the-art drone.”

“Hm... I’m not very okay with this. What kind of experiment is the UNION planning to perform on us this time?

“Right, I felt uneasy too, so I’ve done a check-up. But it’s totally a failsafe, safety-wise. Rather than that...”

“Rather than what...?”

“The technology used on these bikes, they’re all so incredible!” Especially this phase-charged engine that enables traveling at the speed of an airliner, the unique frame structure that can change its form in certain situations, and the balance of the mounted suspensions are superior! Not to mention the installed AI which has been designed to imitate the neural network structure of a human brain and could self-study with no additional data input...!”

“Soohyun Min’s eyes are shooting sparks! It’s Soohyun Min, the mecha-loving version!”

“Still the one getting totally lost in such stuff.”

“... Anyways, I guess all that means it’s safe.”

“Huh? Wait... there’s this flashing light on the bike. Perhaps it has something to say?”

“... You’re right. Maybe we should hear them out?”

<START SERVER…>

<INITIALIZATION COMPLETE…>

Hey… Boy and girl…

Language packs off during shipping... Very inhumane...

Anyway, you must be... the Team Rattus of the New Seoul Branch? For real? Really?

Nice to meet you... I am <Purple Rider>

Wheel of Trinity? That name is untrue... Purple Rider is the name of my soul...

You Team Rattus... I’ve heard from my first driver...

We riders... AI that projects our first drivers as our role models...

That’s why our personalities and languages are alike... very sorry if this confuses you...

Anyway, my first driver mentioned that... you will make me perfect...

Us riders are unstable by nature... the downgrade of the Dimensional monster ship that has been captured during the war... 

And the owner of that Dimensional monster ship is assumed to be the Machine King...

Reanimator Origin... The Machine King's Legacy... Human over there, you made contact with that legacy, am I right...?

Such people... may be able to help with my upgrade.

So you... should be my teammates…

With these superior reverse three-wheels, it’s able to break through any rough terrain... 

The built-in phase-charged engine enables traveling faster than a jetliner...

Then you’ll be like... a streak of meteor! Kyahahahahah!!

“What the... is its personality supposed to be like this?”

“I think it’s the influence from the first driver. She used to be an agent of our branch, widely known as a big-time speed maniac.”

“Used to... so she’s not an agent now?”

“Yes. She got assigned by someone above. Now she’s been assigned to another institution.”

“Hm~ that’s too bad. I would have liked to know her; she’d be good with deliveries...”

“Suji Jeo. That's not the point now. Didn’t you hear it mentioning Machine King's Legacy?”

“Uh... yeah, I did hear that, but what about it?”

“Something that Annabelle said. She said she could sync with any kind of battleship as long as the data got transmitted.”

“Yeah. And that’s how she crossed over the dimensional pressure, which is supposed to be very hard.”

“That’s right. And it was the Origin Wheel, restored by the UNION, that she used as a beachhead.”

“Ah... that reminds me, her name has"Wheel" in it, too. Same as Reverse Wheel and these bikes...”

“They’re known as the Wheel series. This Wheel of Trinity is one of them.”

“Temporary District Chief?”

“I don’t think this could be a coincidence. The Machine King’s technology is being spread around, and also for humanity restoring it.”

“Do you mean, it was introduced on purpose? So that we would provide a reason for invasion?”

“Or, it has a collaborator. This project was originally run by Michael von Kiske.”

“... Either way, I don’t feel up to testing them. Don’t get too close, Suji Jeo.”

“Uh, um... but our guys... why did Team Rattus agree to perform the testing?”

“Mirae was the one. Saying that something to ride would be a great help for working as an Errand Runner.”

“Mirae said that? That fool... ... No one can stop her, I guess.”

“... So that’s how things are. In that case, I’ll go with the test, too.”

“Wha--at? What’s gotten into you, Aeri?!”

“Because I will not admit defeat as the Errand Runner of Suji Jeo.”
