The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

"Oh my god, this ship looks like an asteroid!" As Jack gradually steered the ship toward the landing platform of the Guangfu, the shape of the Guangfu became increasingly difficult to see.

"My ancestors, this cabin is so huge! I wonder how many people can live in it!" Tali, who was wearing a hooded protective suit, stared at the Restoration outside the transparent porthole in a daze.

"According to the previous purchase data of Guangfu and the observation of life signals, the maximum number of people that Guangfu can carry is between 58,000 and 62,000."

E-DI's blue projection suddenly appeared beside Tally and answered.

"Oh, E-Di," Shepard said in surprise, "How could you possibly know the procurement data for the Reconquista?"

"Most of the information on the Recuperation is classified as Level 3 top secret and cannot be searched. Only the food procurement data is classified as Level 1 secret. Because it is managed by the Asari Company under the Citadel Council, the information is included in the Citadel Council's financial bulletin, but it requires a certain degree of authorization to view it." E-DI explained in a calm voice.

"Ah, I remember now. There are three supervisors on the Reconquista." Shepard suddenly realized, "So they control some departments of the Reconquista to a certain extent."

"The Reconquista is the most advanced super-dreadnought in the galaxy today. If Pan Asia had not handed it over to the Citadel, I'm afraid the Council would not have let this ship wander around." Miranda came over and added, "She is even more terrifying than Saren's Overlord. According to the assessment of Cerberus agents and scientists, her largest axial cannon can shatter a mineral asteroid with one shot. The shields of any current ship, including the Reaper battleship, cannot withstand a salvo of her frontal firepower or T-position firepower."

"Therefore, this ship has become the Citadel Council's greatest reliance as a deterrent to the outside world at this time," Shepard added to Miranda's next words, "The Citadel would rather retire the two Ghosts and publicly assist them but actually monitor Yuan's every move... Well, although I agree that this is an appropriate move rationally, it is too frustrating."

Shepard actually felt a little empathy for Xie Yuan.

"It's something we can't help." Miranda shook her head. She supported the congressman's behavior. "With the capabilities and advancement of the Normandy, it can be considered a top-notch tactical armed ship, but it is mostly used for infiltration operations and can only influence the progress of a battle at most. But the Restoration is said to be a super-dreadnought. In fact, it is a mobile armed fortress that can fight against a mid-level fleet with one ship. If it didn't have too many armed features, it could even replace the Destiny as the new flagship of the parliament. In this case, the captain in charge of this ship must be trustworthy and reliable. Yuan actually doesn't have enough qualifications - if he wasn't the one who donated the ship and a newly promoted ghost."

The casual chat among the few people soon ended because of new changes - the Normandy completed the orbital docking with the Restoration, and now everyone had to set off to face Xie Yuan.

Shepard began to select candidates to meet with the Reconquista, but first he had to ban some people: Jacob would be less likely to be troubled with Shepard around, but he was more of an action agent and lacked flexibility compared to Miranda, who was a generalist in intelligence, action, and research and development;
The superpowered "Zero" Jack, the veteran mercenary Zaid, the top assassin Sean and the thief Eto Kasumi, all of them were super criminals. Moreover, Jack and Zaid were violent and cruel. Shepard was there to discuss things, not to cause trouble.

As for the super Krogan Grunt... the problem with Grunt is that he is too new and can't provide any negotiation benefits in the meeting.

So after thinking for a while, Shepard could only take Miranda, the Salarian Modin, the Turian Galas, the Asari Punisher Samara and the Quarian Tali, a total of six people, to the Reconquista.

Miranda is a senior agent of Cerberus, which is a disadvantage when facing the power of the parliament, but she is also very familiar with Xie Yuan, and she is experienced, resourceful and will not be at a disadvantage in any negotiation situation.

The "Archangel" Turian Galas probably cannot influence the former Turian Ghost Agent Nirus. On the contrary, Nirus has a relationship with Shepard - after all, it was Nirus who recommended and tested Shepard to become a Ghost. However, after all, they are compatriots, and Galas' existence should be able to slightly affect some of Nirus's decisions... maybe.

The Salarian Mordin and the Asari Punisher Samara are both veterans in their respective groups. Mordin is both a biologist and a former Salarian STG agent who retired normally, while Samara is a world-renowned Punisher in Asari culture and enjoys special honor. Finally, it was Tali - but Tali just wanted to visit the Reconquista, because she was not qualified to board the ship as a crew member of the Normandy during the Reconquista's maiden voyage last time, so this time Shepard wanted Tali to have this chance. But Tali also has two advantages: that is, Tali is also an old acquaintance of Xie Yuan, Ashley and Kaiden, and as a quarian, she can also recommend some quarian engineers to help work on the Reconquista.

Shepard believed that Xie Yuan must need senior ship engineers to maintain the interior of the ship - you know, Edi said that the maximum passenger capacity of this ship is 60,000, but as of now, the ship has less than 30,000 people, less than half of the people, barely able to operate the ship.

In other words, the ship is very new, otherwise the maintenance work would have exhausted a large number of people.

After selecting the people, Shepard brought the six people to the docking station.

"Shepard..." She was greeted by an Earthling woman wearing pink and white Celta armor, none other than Ashley Williams, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see, Ashley." Shepard also came over and shook hands with Ashley with emotion, "This time we can fight side by side again."

"This is indeed good news." Ashley took back her hand with a look of both pride and regret on her face, but then her expression became very complicated, "It's just that this cooperation was arranged by someone by mistake."

"Who?"

"It's Shadow Broker." Ashley said the name, and looked at the people opposite him whose faces changed, and he was also discouraged. "He simply sent some information to Commander Yuan and sent the Restoration to this place, and then we saw this wreck."

As she spoke, she looked in the direction of the nearby remains of the Reapers.

"Why would the Shadow Broker reveal such an address to you?" Miranda was speaking in disbelief. "I heard that the Shadow Broker has reached a consensus with the Reaper."

But Ashley had no good face for the Cerberus agent. She didn't draw her gun out of consideration for Shepard, so she replied coldly: "I don't know, and I don't care. This may be a trap, but since the bait is big enough, we are ready - to crush all obstacles in our way!"

"You're very commendable." Shepard calmed Miranda, who was a little pale, with just one sentence, and then looked at Ashley, "Take us to see Yuan quickly, make a plan, and we'll set off quickly."

Ashley looked at Miranda, who was suppressing her dissatisfaction, and the others, then regained her composure and said to Shepard, "Come with me, we're going to the Situation Room."

Then everyone followed Ashley into the interior of the Restoration.
