Chapter 227 John, Son of Raynor - Psyker

SCT 2491.1.12.
The Hyperion, sailing on the hyperspace channel.

At 0:06 onboard time, Augustus, who was wearing the usual dark gray captain uniform, was sitting on the alloy bench outside the Hyperion medical cabin, with Sarah Kerrigan sitting close to him on the left.The gigantic Tychus Finley sat next to Augustus' right arm with eyes as big as a bull's, and his huge butt took up almost a third of the bench.He folded his arms across his chest, motionless as a mountain.

Compared with the silent and calm Augustus and others, Jim Raynor and Hanak Hanke were walking back and forth in front of the closed bronze metal door of the medical cabin at a nearly synchronous frequency.The sound of the boots of the two men in buckskin vests and nylon trousers clattering on the deck echoed in the long, narrow corridor of the Hyperion.

"Jimmy, Hank, stop." Augustus looked at Reynolds walking around and said, "We have the best military doctors, midwives, nurses and medical equipment. Elizabeth enjoys my mother's life." With my service, she will be able to safely give birth to a lovely child."

Now the Hyperion is jumping from Agria to Umoyan's hyperspace channel.The girlfriend Elizabeth Litty, whom Renault met in Ma Sara, has been pregnant for more than ten months, and Elizabeth, who has entered the due date, is about to give birth.

"You're right." Renault stopped and looked at Augustus, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"But I'm still quite anxious, he (she) is still the first child born on a battleship, and we are in the time-space passage, who knows if the child born in this state will be affected What effect."

"Don't worry, it's not uncommon for children to be born naturally during the voyage of the colonial fleet." Augustus said helplessly to Reynolds: "It's you two, I'm going to get dizzy if you keep dangling around. "

But Harnack didn't pay attention to what Augustus said. He was still pacing in front of the door of the medical cabin, chanting words such as Hail Mary and the Holy Son blessed by the Holy Spirit. From time to time, the name of an unpopular god pops up.

"Hank, I remember you are an atheist." Tychus stopped the muttering Hanak.

"Only temporarily," Harnack said to Tychus. "I'm a temporary believer as long as I need them. What do you know, Tychus."

Harnack seemed even more nervous than Raynor, not only because he truly regarded Raynor as a blood brother, but also because he didn't want to see any of the Devils of Heaven hurt again.

He has no family members, so he regards the comrades who share life and death as more important than his own life.After the death of Curt Josephine, who had been bickering with Harnack, the stubborn and flirtatious young man finally matured a lot.

"Idiot, what else is on your mind but fights and money and women?" Tychus raged.

"Aren't you the idiot you are talking about?" Harnack rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight.

"Shut up." All of a sudden, Kerrigan on Augustus' left side stood up, her eyebrows raised, her emerald green eyes shone like gems in the light of the cabin lights, crystal-like. brilliant.Kerrigan's bright red lips are wider and thicker than her perfectly proportioned facial features, making her look even sexier.

In an instant, the red-haired ghost agent who had been following Augustus showed the majesty of a queen, and her powerful psychic power made the people around her born with awe.

Although Kerrigan was only a 17-year-old girl, Tychus, the veteran of the revolutionary army, and Harnack, the non-mainstream gangster, were momentarily stunned.

Almost at the same time, the lights in the corridor inside the Hyperion suddenly became flickering.Although still separated by the thick metal walls of the medical cabin, a childish cry was heard in the minds of everyone present.

This cry was far inferior to the horrific psionic screams that the high-level psykers of the Tadarin protoss uttered in this battle, enough to detonate the heads of human soldiers, but it was enough to make those who heard it feel lingering fear.

Immediately afterwards, the lights were completely extinguished, and the corridor cabin was immediately plunged into darkness.Renault, Tychus and the others immediately turned on the laser lighter they carried with them, bringing some faint firelight into the dark cabin.

"Damn it, a psyker?" Tychus was not stupid, he reacted quickly, and immediately discovered the crux of the problem.In fact Tychus was far smarter and more capable than many of Augustus' men, just never used in the right way.

"Damn Jimmy, how did you give birth to a psyker?"

"Quick! Open the door!" Augustus immediately walked towards the closed door of the medical cabin, but he soon discovered that the power supply line of the door was damaged and could not be opened at all, so he immediately activated the cabin under the faint light. Manual unlocking of the door.

The original function of this heavy hatch was to be used as a hermetic door that can completely seal and isolate each compartment of the battleship, and it is extremely heavy.Even if Augustus had manually opened the hatch, it would take at least two soldiers in power armor or exoskeleton mechs to push it.

"Drink-"

However, at this moment, Tychus was only alone and slowly pushed the heavy hatch of the folding umbrella. The muscles on his back and arms were tense, and the curves of the tight muscles were comparable to ancient Greek stone carvings, like molten steel. .

This bad and oily man is always quite reliable when it matters most.

Then, under the joint efforts of Augustus, Raynor, Tychus and others, the heavy hatch was opened little by little.The people guarding outside rushed in, looking for Elizabeth, mother and son and the doctors beside them in the dim medical cabin.

At this moment, several lights in the medical cabin suddenly turned on again.When Augustus saw the doctor holding the baby and Elizabeth's face, he and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for the rosy-faced baby, everyone's face was ashen. The doctors and mother were at the very center of the psychic fluctuations. They relied on their will and psychological quality to avoid panic or mental collapse.

Even so, the emotions of these people were greatly affected, and a young female doctor even collapsed on the ground.

If Augustus hadn't had the foresight to transfer all the wounded and patients in the nearby cabins to another medical cabin of the Hyperion during the birth of Elizabeth, then the birth of Raynor's child would have brought about even greater disasters.

The son of Jim Raynor and Elizabeth Raynor was born in the medical cabin of the Hyperion, his first cry mixed with spiritual energy fluctuations triggered a terrible scream of spiritual energy and paralyzed many systems inside the medical cabin, triggering There was a little commotion.

The guards and engineers on duty of the Hyperion were rushing towards the medical cabin from various cabins, and many people once thought that there was a traitor in the Hyperion.

When more crew members flocked to the medical cabin, Augustus communicated his order to stick to his post through the radio communication equipment he carried with him to all decks, cabins and crew cabins. Only Rory Swan and his team Assistant Viktor Kaczynski was called to the medical bay to repair damaged equipment.

"Natural birth, it was a boy." The doctor who was holding the baby said to Augustus who hurried over.

Augustus first looked at Elizabeth, who was sweating profusely, lying on the hospital bed, and told her to take a good rest.It was only then that Augustus took the child from the doctor's hands and looked carefully at his vivid green eyes and the bushy eyebrows that resembled Raynor's.

The child was surprisingly calm when he was being held. He opened his eyes and looked up, his pupils reflecting the not-so-wide ceiling of the medical cabin of the Hyperion.

"Good boy, John," said Augustus, smiling.Reynolds and Augustus had already agreed upon what the child should be called if it were a boy.

John is a very common name in the human colony in the new Christian Koprulu sector. Even in the small town near Renault's home, there are more than a hundred people with this name.But as far as Renault is concerned, it's the best name he could think of.

"Son, when you were born."

"Oh—this little baby is so cute." Harnack poked his head out from behind Augustus's shoulder, interrupting the other's chant.

"I never thought it would be like this," he said excitedly. "When I was in Shiloh, Jim and I were always at odds. When I first entered the Turasis boot camp, I almost stepped on it." His balls—I'm glad I didn't, so Jim should thank me for that."

"Let me see this little little Jimmy," Tychus said. "My boy, if I die, it seems that I can only leave the inheritance to my nephew. If there is anything left."

"Hey, my son won't help you pay the bills." At this time, the child's father, Reynolds, was late because he spent a long time greeting Elizabeth.

Renault looked very happy, and couldn't hide a smile on his face.But because of the accident just now, he couldn't laugh much.

Including Tychus, who has a heart of stone and thinks he will not have any compassion for any damned little things, he likes this child very much. Their hearts are unprecedentedly gentle, so that they are trying to avoid the fact-that is This child is undoubtedly a psychic, and judging from the scene of his birth, his psychic strength is definitely not low.

"Sarah, John's psychic powers are amazing." After gazing into John Raynor's eyes for a few seconds, Augustus said to Kerrigan, who was standing next to him, "This is unusual."

"Yes. At present, a person's spiritual potential is predetermined." When Kerrigan looked at John, the other party looked at her.

Human psychics and psykers have a similar resonance, especially among the top psykers.

"John's psychic talent has reached the entrance test level of Ghost Agent, which means that his psychic level definitely exceeds PSI level 5, and I believe the final level of assessment must be higher than this." Kerrigan said.

"A baby still controls his psychic talent, which is one of the reasons why psykers die young." Kerrigan said: "As long as the PSI level is at or above level 8, if he can't control his power, then other Powerful psychic powers and psychic powers can have an indelible effect on others."

The human spiritual power level is PSI8, which is an extremely rare level in this huge group, and the number is very small.

"In my impression, in the Ghost Project, a transport ship carrying students from the Ghost Academy had a tragic accident. A female psyker at PSI level 8 lost control and caused a terrible psionic explosion. More than 80 of the [-] crew members died in the cries of those out of control, and those who survived had an indelible shadow in their hearts, and they were immersed in the shadow of that accident for life." She said.

"However, there is no report that psykers above level 8 will kill everyone nearby when they are born, and such a thing will not happen to psykers at level 10. Most high-level psykers are born at the same level as ordinary children. There is no difference, and their parents have to wait until their children grow up to find out that they are different from other people."

"You mean, John's psychic level is likely to reach level 8." Renault didn't feel any joy because his son was a psyker.On the contrary, in his opinion, this is not a thing to be happy about.

As the Tyrannian federal government advertised, any federal citizen with psychic potential is obliged to join the Ghost Project and be trained as a "bright future" ghost agent.If their parents weren't the great nobles of some colonial world or the owners of a multi-galactic corporation with a lot of wealth, then they have to accept that fact.

Of course, at least Renault doesn't need to worry about the psionic shepherds of the federal ghost project forcibly taking his children away, because they are now the biggest group of rebels in the entire Koprulu sector.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing." Augustus looked at Renault and said seriously: "I think a powerful psyker should indeed be taught how to control and use his psychic power, but at least He definitely shouldn't be a ruthless killer."

"Their abilities should be better utilized, such as the formation of a department formed by psykers to supervise the entire national administrative agency." He said.

"Since you all think that I have the qualifications to be John's godfather, then I should take the responsibility of protecting and teaching him. I believe that this child's future achievements will definitely not be lower than each of us."

"He's going to be a man, no doubt about it."

"I believe it too." Renault nodded: "Augustus, from the moment I saw you in the barracks, every promise of yours will be fulfilled."

"Trusting you will never be wrong. When we don't know where to go, as long as we follow you, we won't lose our way."

"." Augustus laughed and handed John over to his father.

"Jimmy, dare I say, it's not in your genes." Just as Raynor started to get emotional, Tychus burst out.

"If you have a bit of psychic talent, your marksmanship should be half as good as Rick Kidd's."

"Damn—" Reynolds, who was holding his son, retorted immediately.

"I'm a sharpshooter."
