From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 307 Foundation

Organizations like the Foundation are easily associated with keywords such as evil, conspiracy, and mystery, whether in movies, TV shows, games, or in reality.

Whether it's the classic 'S*P Foundation' or the 'Mobius Foundation', or the infamous 'Open Society Foundation' in Amber's previous life.

The 'Quest for Truth Foundation' in "Starry Sky OL" is no exception. As an organization dedicated to excavating the ruins of the Forerunners everywhere and trying to catch up in the footsteps of the Forerunners, it also has a bit of mystery.

When several major forces officially began to reduce their investment in the excavation of Forerunner relics, the Quest for Truth Foundation has become one of the most powerful organizations among all official and unofficial organizations.

With the support of the mysterious financial owner behind it, the Quest for Truth Foundation does not need to consider profits, but only needs to ensure that all valuable Forerunner relics are in their hands.

At the same time, the Quest for Truth Foundation has a large number of professional armed personnel and its own fleet, which is comparable to several major private military companies in the Federation in terms of military strength alone.

If that's all, forget it. Atlas Group currently has no anxiety about the strength of its 'military strength' when facing these private organizations.

What really troubles Amber about the Truth-Seeking Foundation is the unknown number of psykers they have.
With the development of the game's plot, this foundation has gradually developed from the initial plot background board into a 'villain organization' that is plotting some conspiracy in the dark.

At least before Amber traveled through time, he had already participated in conquering several dungeons related to the 'Quest for Truth Foundation' and fought with the armed forces affiliated with the foundation.

Moreover, in a research institute of the Quest for Truth Foundation, it was discovered that they were trying to combine ancient creatures found in certain ruins with humans. This is a plot that can be called a "classic within a classic".

It has been more than twenty days since Amber and the others set out, and Amber finally knows why the Empire and the Federation have no interest in this place, because it is too far away.

However, Amber quickly calmed down. Anyway, the Federation, the Empire, and the elves have all been in contact. Although they have not been in contact with the distant business alliance for the time being, they will eventually be in contact with them in the future.

Or throw it into the world of "Mass Effect" and tell players: "You have to take up the banner of resisting the Reapers, oh! By the way, you only have one life this time~" is just as outrageous.

When the members of the main team saw this, they all complained that this kind of plot was too unoriginal. Why do they have to drag humans to do this kind of 'combination experiment' every time they find these mysterious creatures?
Can't we do some experiments with 'Tentacle X Elf'?
But when Amber traveled to this world now, he found that he could no longer make such a joke, let alone laugh.

In the early days of the 'Interstellar Voyage' era, when the star map was still incomplete, if a ship accidentally hit this place, it would basically be a death sentence.

Moreover, except for a huge and luminous yellow giant star, there is nothing of value at the destination. If it were not for the discovery of the Forerunner relics, it is estimated that the Quest for Truth Foundation would not have come to this inhospitable place.

Compared with my contact with the Quest for Truth Foundation, the various things I am doing now do not seem to be any safer.
"Forget it, it's here now"

Because from a certain perspective, the Quest for Truth Foundation is really a tough enemy.

It's like throwing a serious story player into the world of "StarCraft 2" and telling him: "You have to kill Mengsk."

On the spaceship heading to Cassiopeia Wang Liangsi, Amber said this old saying many times and continued to comfort herself.

Since the information collected by the intelligence analysis team shows that the Truth Quest Foundation has sealed off the entire area near Wang Liangsi, this operation will definitely not be able to go through in a big way.

At this time, Atlas Group's 'meritorious battleship', the 'Dragoon-class' destroyer as the first flagship, came in handy.

After extensive modifications, the destroyer, which was renamed the Polarized Light, has been transformed into a special mission ship dedicated to covert strike operations. Unlike those "stealth bombers" that focus on covert attack and bombing, the reborn "Polarized Light" not only ensures a certain strike capability, but also has self-sustainment, electronic warfare attack and combat support capabilities in high-risk areas.

Atlas engineers racked their brains to integrate so many modules into this warship that now seems to be a 'little one'.

In the end, after the acquisition of Poseidon Shipbuilding was completed, a group of more professional engineers there provided remote support, and the transformation of the Polarized Light was finally completed.

This 'special mission ship', which has greatly improved its performance in terms of maneuverability, firepower, flexibility, electronic warfare, and covert operations, has become the best vehicle for Amber to go to Wang Liangsi this time.

The captain was an old acquaintance and European emperor, Tom.

As the first tactical information coordinator to discover anomalies in Robert IV Lansford Military Port, Tom can be said to be one of the witnesses to the outbreak of the war between the Federation and the Empire.

Afterwards, after being shot, he followed Randall all the way from Port Lansford to the ground in an escape capsule. Fortunately, he met Amber and the others and was successfully rescued by Isabel.

Immediately afterwards, in the Battle of the Unnamed Woodland, Tom followed Randall and successfully attracted the attention of the Imperial HCP with anti-vehicle missiles. While helping Amber complete the 'explosive seed' in adversity, he also followed Randall and fell. He entered the pit and avoided the fire coverage of the Imperial HCP and survived.

After that, he followed Amber and the others all the way back to the space elevator, snatched an Imperial frigate and escaped.
After leaving Robert IV and establishing Atlas with Amber and the others, Tom returned to his familiar position as a tactical information coordinator, and continued to be promoted in the rapidly expanding fleet, eventually becoming this The first captain of a special mission ship.

The reason why he got this position is also very simple, that is, in the final test - a simulated battle that simulated commanding warships to engage in a 'brawl' in a high-risk environment, he showed extremely high talent as the 'old six'. He killed all the captains who participated in the test and successfully survived to the end.

"Boss, we estimate that we will leave the jump in three hours. At that time, the ship will enter the 'stealth action mode' and pass through the Quest for Truth Foundation's blockade."

After putting on the captain's uniform, Tom looked at Amber floating on the side of the bridge and said.

Although he is now the captain and is an old acquaintance with Amber, he is still a little nervous when performing this mission.

After all, the importance of Amber to Atlas is self-evident. According to rumors, there is even a suspected "Bai Amber Cult" among the Roma group.
This mission was carried out by a single ship in an area far away from the company's support range. The risk still existed, and it was not small.

"Relax, Tom. It's not your first time on a mission. Don't be so nervous."

Amber looked at Tom's expression, floated over, smiled and patted his shoulder.

At the same time, Isabel also floated in from the passage of the bridge. When she saw Amber, she said:

"Amber, your exoskeleton is ready!"

"Wait a minute. Your words always give me a sense of déjà vu."

"what?"
