The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Catch up (cover face)

----------------------

"I'll make you regret your decision now."

These were the last words of the krogan battle master before he died, and in a way, he did.It took a lot of time to stabilize a panicked psychic in an excavation site full of obstacles-obviously, Oregana didn't know how to deal with psychics... guys with psychic immunity are not at all. I know how to fight against the supernatural department, because I usually walk over and hold it down, and the other party's spell casting is equivalent to punching an air punch.

You said that before you were not fully psychically immune?At that time, the hostile psyker I encountered was the Queen of Blades, and it took me a second to learn a hammer's psychic confrontation?

An Asari who uses a superpower that is not psionic is extremely difficult to deal with at this time...

After a few 10 minutes, the Azali girl (unmistakably) finally settled down in the Second Mess of the Very Leopard - the interior of the Very Leopard's battleship played an important role in this process.An interior in a style somewhere between a cat cafe and a nursery, with an excellent calming effect...

In other words, it makes people feel a sense of "what are you doing?"People who see it for the first time are usually taken aback, and then start to wonder whether this civilization has a culture of raising children on ships. After all, there is a precedent for the civilization of the quarians who made the universe their home.But this side is more wild, maybe the law stipulates that children can also be carried out on the bridge?

After curiosity overwhelmed panic, Liana saw two large cats running out of the corner.As a young Asari who knew little about human civilization, she was wary of these somewhat large animals (more than one meter in length)—from the eyes of these animals facing forward instead of to the sides, From the perspective of walking quietly, they are excellent hunters. In other words, they are ferocious carnivores... Just like the veiled beasts raised by the Krogan, they are not only excellent war beasts, but also a foil to show their own bravery .

"Wow?!"

Then, with the warm touch of fur, the two big cats climbed onto the sofa and lay down next to Liana purring.But after the line of sight touched Liana's head, the two cats showed surprise expressions on their faces - this person with a very bad complexion has serious hair loss!Is it too much work?

There is no other way, just let you touch your head, everything will be fine. 0w0

After being handcuffed by the furry head, Liana calmed down and touched Maomao's head carefully, and was surprised by the perfect touch.And in this relaxed state of mind, he listened to stories about the Ministry of Consolidation and the current situation of the Citadel Council, including the fatal audio of his old mother whom he hadn't seen for decades.

Gently scratching the cat's ears, Liana whispered:

"Ah... oh... So that's what happened..."

A day in the middle of the cave is a thousand years in the world.Before I entered the ruins, the whole world hadn't changed, but in just these few days, major events seemed to happen one after another.

Opposite her, the mysterious creature that looks human, but is definitely not human looks a little haggard:

"You scared us by running straight away."

At the excavation site before, Oregana was once buried in the soil or under collapsed rocks by this blue supernatural being. Liana is definitely a good hand in battle.As she herself said, until this overturn, she had never encountered any troubles that her abilities could not solve.In other words, this person was not a simple archaeologist from the very beginning, she was a 'super-powered archaeologist with strong fighting power'.

Who was the last such archaeologist I knew?Oregana searched her memory and found that it was Teme Zeratul. (cover face)

"I've been terribly frightened for the past few days... In the end, the scariest one came."

"Eat something and calm down."

Oregana sighed, and Inu Sakuya next to her walked to the table carrying the plate and put the plate in front of Liana.Because the amino acids in the Turians and Quarians are right-handed, they will fall to the ground and convulse when they eat them like Oregana eats mangoes, and Zerglings eat lemons, but the Asari do not have this problem. Eat human food.

"what is this?"

"The specialty of Reach, the moa burger." Oregana replied, "and refreshing drinks."

Liana had never heard of the place name Reach, but the food did look delicious.Because she locked herself in the force field shield, she hadn't eaten for a long time. The girl looked at the burger frequently, and finally bit down as if she had made up her mind.After chewing a few mouthfuls, her expression was as happy as a flower blooming. She probably gained courage after knowing that it was delicious, so she ate the burger in her hand like a squirrel eating a fruit.

Afterwards, her expression lit up after taking a sip of the complimentary drink. It tasted like wine, but the taste was quite refreshing. After drinking it, she immediately lifted her spirits. The mental state is clear, and the feeling as if the soul is being nourished is surprising:

"Is this? I've never had this...alcoholic drink?"

Oregana showed a proud expression:

"Low-alcohol wine made from home-grown grapes, it's good to drink with some juice."

It is a delicious fruit harvested in the grape fields of Skullmaker Fortress. They drink the fertile energy of the warp and grow under the gentle care of vampires, hell dragons and demon engines, because they contain the energy of the warp and excellent Flavor, the succubi of the Temple of Pleasure often come to buy it, and the Tzeentch demons will also buy it for the Chaos wizards to use spells and perform rituals.

It is dangerous to eat this kind of fruit directly from the branch, because the subspace energy contained in it will cause the eater to mutate - [-]% of the mutations are to grow cat ears and tails, and the remaining [-]% ​​are direct cats and beasts. , and the duration is eight days and eight hours.However, after staying away from the subspace energy for a month, it will lose its mutation effect and become a refreshing and delicious fruit.

If it is in a world view with a fantasy background, this must be a priceless treasure, but here it can’t even enter the standard interstellar market of the Ministry of Consolidation—because the place where the raw materials are produced is not clearly written, the license cannot be obtained, Can only be used by oneself, which is actually no different from bootlegging.

"You still grow... grapes?"

"There is a beautiful little garden at home, where I plant a lot of things and raise some cute animals."

Liana blinked—humans in the Ministry of Consolidation should be an idyllic civilization that lives in harmony with nature, remember that. (nod)

When you lift your spirits, your brain kicks in, but that doesn't make your mood any better.Liana put down the cup and sighed softly:

"I still can't believe all this, why did the Geth come to catch me?" Judging from the communication between the other party and the Star Alliance colony, they are indeed not bad people, so Liana's whole body began to show a relaxed state, "Do you think Bene Did Zia have anything to do with this?"

There are two situations in which mothers are called by their first names. One is that the relationship between the mother and daughter is very good, just like friends. The representative is the space pirate Kato Jasmine and her mother Kato Rika, and the other is that the relationship is so bad that they don’t even want to recognize each other To an extent, this is obviously the latter.I don't know what kind of conflict she had with her mother... But judging from the fact that she ran away from home for decades and didn't go back to see each other, the conflict should be quite serious...

Oregana thought so, and replied:

"You are an expert in Prothean, and they want to use your knowledge to bring the Reapers back."

As she said that, she tuned out the audio and played it for Liana. The familiar voice made Liana show a complicated expression:

"Reaper? What's that?"

"How should I put it... You are studying Prothean, so you should have discovered a lot of problems. Extinction can always leave a lot of evidence-how could such a powerful civilization disappear without leaving a little information? gone?"

What this otherworlder said was absolutely true.

This is exactly what Liana has gradually realized over the past few decades—how did Prothea become extinct?The collapse of civilization on this scale is actually very difficult. Civilizations separated from their parent star are basically no longer affected by natural disasters and plagues, because no matter how natural disasters are, all planets in the entire territory will not explode at the same time, and the same is true for plagues. Planets and planets The vast space between blocks the possibility of any disease spreading across the universe on a large scale.

Without the influence of external forces, it is impossible for a civilization capable of sailing across galaxies to perish in an instant.In other words, the reason must be related to the war—for example, the krogan, which is slowly dying, was attacked by another powerful civilization, Salari, with a genetic weapon that reduced the birth rate to [-]. Several.

As for Proxian, without leaving any evidence, they just disappeared.No evidence is also a kind of evidence, which just shows that the extinction of Prothean is not a natural event, but the result of something intervening.

When it comes to this, Liana is excited:

"Indeed...it looks like someone didn't want this mystery to be solved. It's like someone cleaned up the entire galaxy after the extinction of Prothean." She said excitedly "but there are still things It's incredible. According to my discovery, Prothean is not the first interstellar race to disappear mysteriously. This reincarnation began long before them. Could it be that the 'Reaper' did it? Wait... "

Having said that, Liana's face froze:

"Benezia...plans to bring the Reaper back together with that traitorous agent? Then if they succeed, won't we be next?"

"As expected of a researcher, the reaction is fast. We guess that Saren's flagship is a Reaper battleship, because it is very different from the geth dreadnought, both in technology and appearance. There are various evidences that can It proves that a huge fleet is waiting for the day of return outside the galaxy, and Saren is their vanguard... It's just that the Citadel Council thinks it's just a Geth dreadnought, and the Reaper and Saint Path are just Saren It's just a way to trick the geth into getting him to help him."

"..."

"But in any case, it is right to capture the matriarchs Benezia and Saren. The news of the Citadel has not spread until now, and the arrest warrant has not been posted-the Citadel Council wants everyone to react. We caught them before to reduce the impact." Oregana scratched her head, "But this news has already been made public in our Consolidation Department... After the battle situation on Eden was made public, everyone is now guessing who will be the first to catch them." to Salem."

Liyana was dumbfounded. The general in front of her was too jumpy and she didn't know how to deal with it. Liyana herself was the type who was not good at interpersonal communication. She was always afraid that she would make others angry by saying the wrong thing, but She still asked:

"...Can this kind of thing be made public? This is the end of the world! Or is it because it is not in the world of the Ministry of Consolidation, so everyone is watching the excitement..."

Halfway through the speech, she felt a slip of the tongue, and quickly bowed her head and said:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that... just..."

But Oregana didn't take it to heart, she said:

"The Ministry of Consolidation itself is a group of civilizations huddled together for warmth. Almost every civilization in them has encountered the destruction of civilization, which is the disaster of the end of the world. As our team grows, we begin to be able to fight against various The doomsday of form—this is exactly the purpose of our army.” She raised her head slightly, looking at the dome light emitting a gentle light on the ceiling, “Our public information will not have any impact on the Citadel Council, because the civil exchanges between the two sides have to start. When the dust of the battle here settles down, the Citadel itself must have made it public by that time—the fight with the Reapers will definitely not be hidden, and there is basically no way to avoid fighting with the Reapers, it is just a It's just a matter of time."

"I didn't expect that what I studied would one day fall on us again."

"It's easy to dig a grave in the universe. When you dig a grave, you can find the truth about the explosion of the universe, or you can find the prophecy of destruction, or you can find the bombs left intentionally or unintentionally by the ancient race... We have seen such things. Not only once or twice, our companions are still dealing with a universe-filled bomb left by an ancient civilization in the next world." Oregana shrugged, "Anyway, Saren found a Prothean in Eden Star. The relic, the function of that thing is to print information into people's heads, and the new ghost agent from the Star Alliance also got this information, but he couldn't understand what it said at all-Saren probably didn't know either, Apparently he wanted an expert on Prothean to decode it for him, which is probably why he sent someone to catch him. Of course, we also want to know the contents of that beacon, so we have to send you to talk to the ghost agent meet up."

"I understand...but I'm not sure there must be a way, because Prothean's beacon can only communicate with Prothean people, and they can still hold on after going through the incident of carving things into their heads. It was quite surprising.”

"It's okay, you should have a good rest first, there is still time before the rendezvous." Oregana stood up, stretched her waist, and Maomao jumped up from Liana's side, leaning against Oregana's legs and purring "By the way, we have a question. We want to know why the daughter of a matriarch like Benezia chooses to go to archaeology?"

Hearing this question, Liana showed a troubled expression on her face:

"Because Benezia is that kind of matriarch... People expect me to be like her, a leader and a role model for the people. It makes me feel bad." She drank the wine in her glass in one gulp and sighed "I am a completely different person from her, and compared with those political and complicated interpersonal interactions, Prothean's culture and history are much more interesting."

Oregana's expression froze on her face, her mouth opened:

"..."

"Ok?"

"We thought of someone we knew. He was a prince, and he also liked archeology, so he had a bad relationship with his father, but in order to save the world, he finally overthrew his father's rule and sat on the throne... and his father was young because of He likes mining and hates politics, and has a bad relationship with his father who is a politician who resisted the tyranny of the Federation, but in the end he overthrew the Federation and became emperor in order to save the world."

"...Is there such a person?"

"Well, the royal family of the Tyrannian Empire has inherited the curse of the Mengsk family for generations. However, birth does not determine a person's life. The Asari with a long lifespan should be able to experience a life far beyond human beings."

"Meow~~~"

It's really strange... The Ministry of Consolidation is also strange, this person is also strange, the food, the ship, and the two animals are also strange.But it doesn't feel bad.Looking at the back of Oregana leaving the cafeteria, Liana thought.But now the most critical issue is not here, but on Benezia's side... Although I have a very stiff relationship with her, and I hate the invisible pressure caused by other people because of her, I still know her will and wisdom.

The matriarch is strong and intelligent, that's why people are willing to follow her. With nearly a thousand years of experience, she can easily discover the essence of the matter, and it is impossible for a child like Saron to influence her thoughts.Benezia judged that it would be better for the Reapers to return to the galaxy to destroy the world?What kind of future did she see in those eyes that could discern everything?

Liana didn't know, and couldn't guess, that although she had always regarded herself as an excellent archaeologist, in the final analysis, she was just a child who was not good at talking to strangers.The act of wanting to escape from the shadow of the elders itself means that one is still in the shadow. Even though the body has traveled thousands of light years, the soul is still in place.

But now, I want to face Benezia directly.Ask her exactly what she wants to do, if she really wants to destroy the world...

I must stop her.

So I will follow this legion leader for the time being. She is very bad at dealing with supernatural attacks, and Benezia is an unimaginable supernatural power master.She must need her own help.

Thinking of this, Liana made up her mind, and picked up the cup again—but it was already empty.Then she noticed the sight from the side... Inu Sakuya, who was wearing a maid outfit, was standing aside, and when she noticed Liana's gaze turned, the big white ears on her head trembled.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Liana raised her glass:

"Can I... have another drink?"

"Wang!"

Attica Star Belt, Frontier Region.

The Minotaur-class battlecruiser Darius had just completed a long jump.Projected here from the destruction vortex fortress of Eden Star, and then conducted a long-distance subspace dive, General Carolina Davis of the Tyranid Empire looked at the universe that reappeared outside the porthole, and breathed a sigh of relief—— Sailing in warp space always makes people nervous, not to mention that this section of the route has only been measured, and no one has ever sailed here before this fleet.

General Carolina Davis was born in Vadona, the core world of Tyrann. The family was one of the elder families in the Federation period. She became a member of the Sons of Keha very early and joined the war against the Federation. Affirming herself as a lifelong supporter of Arcturus, after the fall of the Federation, she began serving as a general of the Tyranid Empire when Mengsk became Emperor.In the end, Arcturus died in the swarm invasion, and the high-level organization of the empire underwent great changes. After the situation stabilized, General Davis continued to serve the new king of the Mengsk family and the Tyrann Empire.
