The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"what did you say?"

Ambassador Udina did not explain, he knew what to say as a superior:

"Won't you explain it to me?" And this matter is too much, it's really impossible not to explain it clearly." In the shootout in the guard area, and a full-scale raid on the nightclub, dozens of people died in the shooting in the Castle of God in one afternoon. The calls haven't stopped since this afternoon, everyone is telling me about a human with 'N7' on his chest and his 'Miniature Citadel Council' on rampage!"

The miniature castle council...

After hearing the word, Shepard looked around himself - a krogan bounty hunter Lex who met on the road, a turian policeman Galas who met on the road, a human female soldier Ash Li, the human male soldier Cayden.Well, it does make some sense.He shrugged:

"In fact, these are small things, and no innocent passers-by were hurt."

"Well," the Turian chimed in, "it's law enforcement."

There is a high probability that the police officer of this God's Fortress was arranged by someone, and he didn't know it himself. Ambassador Udina is sure that it must be the case—presumably he used his status as a police officer to let Star Alliance soldiers Let's legalize the investigation inside the castle.Moreover, this guy is different from the general old-fashioned Communist police. From his eyes, it can be seen that he hates the rules and regulations of the police.

Right now, Cayden is whispering behind him:

"The Legion Commander didn't even have time to check it out, will 'Kora's Cave' be open for business the next time she comes back?"

"Whether she can come next time is mainly to see if she has brought those friends with tails with her, and it has nothing to do with how many holes we have made in the wall." Galas the Turian also lowered his voice, "Those transparent people on the wall The light hole will be fixed by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Their relationship seems to have suddenly become better...the relationship will become better after carrying guns and fighting side by side together, but why does he know the legion commander and 'those friends with long tails'?

"Don't look at me like that, Ambassador." He turned around. "They're conspicuous enough. This is the first time I've ever seen a human with tattoos. You know it's rare."

To this day, the Turians still keep the facial tattoos of their home colony, and the Turian slang term "sumen" (a guy with no tattoos on his face) refers to those who lie and are not trusted, which is also a pejorative term for politicians, On the other hand, the faces of human beings are generally clean and there is nothing, always giving people a feeling of hiding something.And when the head of the Legion of the Consolidation Department walked out, he had a red coat of arms on his forehead.

Speaking of which, the legion commander did get a tattoo that glows... This just coincides with the Turian folklore...

But put these questions aside for now, Ambassador Udina's attention shifted to the alien who was following the group of people. Women with headscarves:

"What's up with this quarian?"

The only ones who wear it are the quarians—a nomadic creature known for their engineering skills and robotic knowledge.Due to centuries of living in a sterile environment, the quarians have very fragile immune systems, and all quarians must wear highly sophisticated protective clothing to protect them from infection from disease or injury.Of course, what everyone remembers most about Quary is that they made the Geth.

Initially geth were used for labor and warfare.The quarians limit their programming to the level of general virtual intelligence, which is far from artificial intelligence, and abide by the laws passed by the parliament prohibiting the development of artificial intelligence.But as the quarians modified the geth to adapt them to more complex tasks, a highly complex neural network formed, the geth then became the Supa AI, and one day, a geth individual asked his supervisor The interviewer asks about the characteristics of existence, such as whether the geth has a soul or not.

Startled, the quarians ordered the extermination of all geth to prevent a possible AI rebellion.

Startled, the geth rebelled, then overthrew the quarians.

The process and essence of this AI rebellion are basically similar to this——

【Why do you have so many scars on your hands? 】

[I got scratched by the cat. 】

[Why does the cat tickle you? 】

[Because I cut the cat's nails. 】

[Why do you want to cut the cat's nails? 】

[Because I'm afraid the cat will scratch me. 】

【...Did the cat tickle you before? 】

【……No. 】

If Oregana was here and realized this, she would be thinking about how to eat the screen at this moment-the AI ​​rebellion that is stupider than the Reaper rebellion is coming...

It is for this reason that no one in the world knows the geth better than Quary.

"To make it easier for you, Ambassador," Shepard said. "He has evidence that Saron and Qualley got mixed up."

"Really? ... Miss?"

"My name is Tali Zola Weiss Nima." The quarian's voice is lovely, which is very different from her masked (and frankly eerie) appearance." During my journey , I heard the report of the Geth. Since they expelled us and let us go into exile, they have never appeared outside the screen area. I was curious, so I tracked a Geth fleet and found the opportunity to paralyze the outliers The geth got its memory core."

"The geth should burn their memory cores when they 'die'," Anderson asked. "There's nothing in the wreckage of the geth we recovered on Eden."

The warriors of Tartarus were nimble, but the geth destroyed evidence even more nimbly. Of the thousands of wreckage that fell, not a single byte of data was left behind.It's hard to imagine that this weak woman with a weak body can succeed-but on the other hand, only she can do it.

"We created the geth—if you're careful, quick, and lucky, there's still a chance you can get a small piece of data."

"Let it out and listen."

————————————————————————

After the sixth jump, Oregana leaned on the plush sofa on the bridge of the Leopard, crossed her legs and listened to the latest information from the communication——

Sa Lun's voice sounded majestic, and it was hard for her to feel that this was the same guy who was beaten and screamed by her before.

【The main star of Eden is a major victory, and the beacon will further guide us to the 'Holy Path'. 】

[The return of the reaper is one step closer. 】This sentence is not from Sa Lun's voice, but a female voice with a sense of aunt.

Being able to see himself being blown to ashes as an important victory, and he is indeed alive, then everything will be exactly as he thought.Moreover, he had already touched the beacon, but because of some accidental reasons, he failed to destroy it and let Shepard's old pigeon successfully touch it once.

"A major victory... Heh, it's the same as we thought. His strategic goal has been achieved, and a body is nothing more than a problem."

"Saren is a similar existence to us."

"It means that if you don't smash the Overlord, he won't die. How annoying."

"Does our enemy think the same way?"

Hearing this, Oregana couldn't help laughing out loud:

“That’s what Kerrigan thought,” she says triumphantly. “The moment she realized on Char that she couldn’t kill us was pretty desperate—that’s what she said later.”

"puff."

"However, let's talk about pilgrimage trips." As she spoke, Oregana took out a sprig of Polygonum japonica from her pocket and held it in her mouth. Travel, after all, it was very popular at that time to talk about going to the Buda Palace to purify the soul."

"What happened?" Liu Lizi asked, frowning. "It sounds like something happened in your tone? Could it be that you got beaten up while playing with the Vajra Pestle and Lotus Flower in the holy land of Buddhism?"

"No! I was stabbed in the back by a dog while visiting the temple. Although we won, the battle damage is not good. I was severely allergic to the rabies vaccine." She scratched her head, "If the hospital is not just across the road from the epidemic prevention station , we came here ahead of time. After returning home, I found that the entire Tibetan area has not had a single rabies case in nearly 30 years, and it is a non-epidemic area at all.

"Ah this..."

"Thinking about it now, we really don't fit in with the pilgrimage."

"How can there be such metaphysics..." Liu Lizi stretched out his finger and poked his boss's forehead, "Don't worry about this, Cardinal Ugdola Hill sent a message."

She was talking about Cardinal Ugudora Hill instead of Alicia, which means that this communication is about serious business.

"Oh?"

After the communication screen lit up, Alicia sat in front of the screen in a formal suit—it was Katari's diplomat armor, and she wore it with a special flavor.Judging from this attire, it should have just come out of the meeting.

[Oregana, God Castle is here to contact you.We just talked about a few interim treaties. 】

"It's pretty fast."

She bent the corner of her mouth:

[The ones who came were Salari, Asari, Turian and a human.The ones who are mainly talking are the Salari and the humans, the other two are responsible for nodding and saying 'um'. 】

Hearing this, Oregana basically understood [-]% of the time:

"So that's the case... What did the talk go into?"

[Then I'll keep it simple - we only collaborated on the fight against the geth invasion, in the form of a deal.On the condition of assisting the Citadel Council in the defense of remote colonies, we have obtained permission to excavate and study all Prothean ruins discovered so far, but not including mass repeaters, because this may cause the collapse of the transportation network. 】Maomao wagged her tail, judging from the radian and frequency, she was very happy at the moment——in front of her own people, there was no need to hide her feelings. Exchange of information and various matters. 】

"All Prothean ruins? The price is not low."

This statement startled Oregana.

First of all, the Integration Department is in an absolute advantage. Whether it is technology or economics, even if the current best mass effect field technology is used, the other party will only use it as a technical reserve, and even if it does not come up with this technology, the other party can quickly Find out how this technology works from the wreckage, so it can be inferred that the other party is unlikely to be interested in this.

But now, there is no commercial exchange at all, no cultural exchanges, and no idea what the other party might want—there is no time to figure it out right now. For the Divine Castle Council, this matter must be settled immediately, because Jie The threat of Si is imminent.They may attack at any time, and a war with no chance of winning is coming.Although according to the original setting, there are only some geths following Saron, that is, the reaper, but not all, it is impossible for the Citadel Council to know about this matter.

What's worse is that Saren is a ghost, and all his secrets have been dumped to the other party; and the voice that sounds a bit like a big mother was heard by Ambassador Azali as the voice of Benicia, the matriarch of the Azali tribe... …

The matriarch here does not mean that Benicia is the patriarch of a certain tribe. The matriarch is a stage in the life of the Azali race. From about 700 years old, the Azali will enter this stage.Having accumulated centuries of wisdom and experience, they are active in society as sages or advisors.In other words, these matriarchs have many followers, and Benicia herself is a very powerful and famous matriarch... The secrets of the two apexes of the battle power of the castle, Turian and Azali, Geth are almost the same at the moment. I understand most of it.

They urgently need an ally, and the things that can make this ally understand the value at once... seem to be only the relics left by those ancient civilizations.To be honest, these relics don't mean much to the Citadel of God. They can't bring about a second technological leap, and they can't provide enough economic benefits. It's best to exchange for the friendship of a powerful civilization union.

Although some scientists who study this may be dissatisfied, they can't care so much at this time.

Alicia said:

[This should be the utmost sincerity they can express-but it is also an investment.Now it’s business for you——]

Oregana nodded, she held the burning stick, and drove the cat who was smelling it aside:

"Um."

[The first thing is to let the fleet going to Novella wait and go with the Normandy. ] Alicia took out a cute memo and opened it [Novelia is a privately owned colonial planet, and its owner is a development enterprise holding company, because Novelli technically does not belong to the council star field, The laws of the Council don't apply to it, so it's not easy to let a ghost who belongs to the Federation go with him - let him solve the problems of those private companies. 】

"Okay, let's arrange it."

[Then, the report received shows that there is an Azali named Liana T'Suni on the planet you are going to.She is suspected of colluding with Saren, and the Citadel Council hopes that we can find her. ] Alicia blinks. [Audio shows her mother is the one who said 'one step closer to the return of the Reapers'. 】

Liana T'Suni, Oregana remembered her.

It was an Azali intelligence agent with a Prothean research background, one of Shepard's companions, a character that can be attacked—whether you choose a male or a female, before she was involved in the war, Dr. T'Suni has spent half a century studying Prothean technology and the causes of their extinction.This is quite remarkable.

Asari can live for thousands of years, and she becomes a Prothean gravedigger in the second 50 years of her life.But it is precisely because of this that the little girl Liana T'Suni, who is only 106 years old (born in 2077 in Sercia), is too young, so her discoveries and researches are always difficult to attract the attention of adults.

This child has not seen the change of the ten generations of Salari, so how can he be reassuring?

The racial differences are horrible... (far eye)

Then the task this time is to rescue this little girl who is older than the whole crew combined, besides crushing the geth sent by Saren.

Oregana nodded humbly:

"We know."

But... Liana will inevitably have conflicts with the matriarch Benicia in the future, right?The relationship between her and her mother had been estranged decades ago, and she didn't know what would happen to her mother who turned into a traitor and wanted to bring about destruction.Although it is worth trying to see if it can be saved, but also be prepared that it cannot be saved. (think)

emmmmm... (Thinking)

"Liu Lizi, prepare an extra buzzing axe! Maybe someone will say goodbye to your cowardice in the future."

[No no no no!No such thing!Don't do unnecessary things! 】

But Liu Lizi's attention was no longer on this, she checked the route map:

"One last jump in 3 minutes."

Oregana immediately activated the communication link:

"Prepare for ship-to-ship battle - first ensure space control, and then deploy land forces."
