StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

Chapter 84 Recruiting Swan
Tychus had just walked out the door when Augustus saw Rory Swann and his cousins, two resocialized soldiers in power armor conducting a routine body search.There was more noise outside the window, and the sound of the machine running began to rumble.

Augustus adjusted his collar, adjusted his facial expression, put his hands on the table, and sat upright.However, before Augustus could say please come in, four impatient Mrs. Meinho rushed in.

These people are generally shorter than Tyranids of the same age group, only about five and a half to six feet tall.But the bone structure of each of them is stronger and wider than that of the Tyranids, and the thick and exposed arms are full of knotted muscles with blue veins.

The leader, the Meinhof miner, had a cracked upper lip that quivered as he spoke, and a bushy black mustache under his big nose.His skin was a little too pale, but his face was full of weather-beaten marks, and the scars and scald marks after sharp scratches and scabs were clearly visible.

The miner's voice was resonantly loud, and when he yelled it was as if a steam train passed through the office.

The Kemerians in Meinhoff don't have much deep-rooted hatred for the Tyranids. They just vaguely feel that the inflation caused by the war and the collapse of the internal economy should be blamed on the Tyrannian Federation, but in fact they have never Haven't seen many Tyranids.

What else can I do, I need to eat.

"Are you Foreman August Mengsk? I'm sorry I may have a local accent." The miner said, "I'm Rory Swan, you can call me Rory, Swan is fine, but New Arborough Wen has two thousand Swans."

"My cousin heard that you are recruiting people here, and the salary is not bad."

"Rory Swan." Augustus said the name softly in his mouth: "I remember you. Swan, I picked you out of more than 400 application forms and let people tell you Bring some help."

Augustus was all too familiar with the name.In StarCraft, Rory Swan is a talented engineer belonging to the Renault Rangers. As long as there is a design drawing, there seems to be nothing he cannot create.

"You have a license as a first-class mechanic, and once converted a Kelanis assault armored vehicle into a tank, using a fossil fuel engine. In addition, you have also upgraded the built-in battery of the new Apollon's automatic mining drone , which increases its battery life by three to five days." Augustus looked at Swan.

"This undoubtedly proves your talent in this area. But at the same time, I am also very puzzled. With the patent fee alone, you and your clan will not be able to eat enough."

"You don't understand the situation, Chang. It feels weird. Let's call you the foreman." Swan shook his head: "The Swan family is a big family, and we have many brothers and sisters. For a big family that makes a living out of mines It is said that the more people who can work in the well, the better. You have three children in the family, and he has five. Slowly, there will be too many children."

"Now is the most difficult time for the family. I have to go through the adversity with my relatives. As long as I have spare energy, I will help others." Swan said: "Unity is the key to the survival of the Swan family. You The Tyranids may not understand, but if I need help, they will definitely spare no effort to support me."

"The Camerian family is much larger than ours, and the bonds between them are quite strong. They always like to be lively." Augustus said with a light smile, "I also like children."

"Well, ugh... that's good of you to think so now," Swann said with a sigh.He also wondered why this Tyrannian officer not only didn't talk about work, but also talked so much with himself, but he didn't dislike this young man with clean clothes and gray hair.

After all, it wasn't the Tyranid soldier he had stereotyped, the kind of scarred, muscular bald Tyranid guy.

"It's not easy for the Swan family to raise so many children. How about it? Have you considered switching to a job with higher salary and better working environment?" Augustus asked Lisa next to him to move some chairs for them , motioned them to sit down, as if they wanted to have a good talk.This made Swann and his brothers even more confused.

"You are not yet 30 years old this year, but your achievements are far more amazing than what I just said. Swan, your technical and mechanical talents are actually far higher than you imagined. As long as you submit your resume , any top technology or engineering company will offer you an olive branch."

The young Swann was not good at hiding his joy, and immediately realized that he had been flattered, and he quickly understood that Augustus was trying to recruit himself: "I will not serve the army of the Tyrannian Federation Work, many of my relatives and friends died at the hands of the Tyranids."

"I think I've made it very clear. It's not the army, it's working for me." Augustus seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He pushed an already opened personal terminal in front of Swann and others. On it was the Mengsk family The introduction and the valuation of his family business by industry insiders: "We are in need of talents like you. As for the salary, you are satisfied."

Swan and his brothers took a look at the personal terminal, all skeptical of its authenticity.After all, they have never seen so much money in their life.

"My relatives and friends have also persuaded me to find a decent high-paying job instead of staying in a mine." After thinking for a while, Swan said: "But I insist on staying in the family, most high-tech companies It's all in Moria, it's too far from the Meinhof, and I don't want to leave my family."

"That's it." Augustus nodded and stopped talking.

Swan thought that Augustus had given up, after all, he might just say it casually, that is, just polite words.Isn't that what the Tyranids are like, they are obsessed with cumbersome and useless etiquette, they behave like elegant gentlemen, but in fact they are alienated and indifferent, and not many words are sincere.

But Swann was then taken aback by what Augustus said.

"I also happen to want to hire a mining family to work for my mining business," said Augustus. "I could hire all of you."

The Swann family is a family of Kelmorian technology miners with a long history, and it is worth Augustus's big money to win over.

"My hometown, Keha IV, is the most prosperous and most advanced planet among the thirteen main star worlds of the Tyranid Federation. It has a sound social welfare system, and each of you can get a full pension after retirement." Gusdu seems to have completely forgotten the purpose of coming to them: "Of course, empty words are not enough to convince people. You can settle in Keha for a while and work for my family's technology companies and industrial enterprises for a while." Time, and then take the family over.”

"If the Swann family moves to Keha, I can arrange jobs for each adult, and I will be responsible for all the moving expenses. I will even pay for a piece of land as your new family territory."
