The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

General Davis was better at directing operations from the front than handling documents from the rear.During the war, even at such an advanced age, he drove the heavy combat machine "Balios" alone at high speed to penetrate the defense at high speed, and beat the large hybrid in a jar.Today, she is still standing on the front line commanding operations.

The civilization of this universe is used to using the mass effect field to reduce its own mass in the material universe instead of affecting the space to perform superluminal maneuvers. Fang fleet for fast tracking.Therefore, the method recommended by the headquarters is [Use the light radar to conduct long-term observation of the possible movement range of the opponent in hours, capture the optical signal left by the opponent, calculate the opponent's route through time, and speculate the destination of the opponent's movement] .

Honestly, it's an easy-to-understand, but cumbersome and imprecise way to do it.

Using this incredible method of movement, but judging from the existing data, the enemy's combat effectiveness is not strong, and there will be no large-scale battles in the short term.Therefore, the fleet of the command department is deployed into this world in units of squads to defend planets that may be dangerous. The space environment, and adjustments to various environments, weapon configurations, and testing of various weapons and equipment - these are the preparations that must be made before fighting the Reaper, as well as the communication with the local army and the running-in with new companions. important part.

It won't hurt to take advantage of Saren's geth rebellion.

It's hard to say whether it's good luck or bad luck. General Carolina Davis' mixed fleet of Tyrannian Empire and UNSC didn't meet the enemy.Three Tyrann Empire Minotaur-class battlecruisers, two UNSC Marathon-class heavy cruisers replaced with new kinetic energy deflection shields, and one Tyrannian scientific ship for frontline repair and communication support (equipped with an induction force field generator device), this configuration seems to belong to the overwhelming power that can decide a medium-sized battle in this world.

Had a friendly exchange with the local patrolling Star Alliance forces—perhaps because the news of Eden Star had spread, and the Star Alliance forces did not have any resistance to the Consolidation Fleet, which made General Davis feel relieved.

"Next, we will cruise around here to protect the safety of the colony." She stood in front of the star map, watching the blue arrows representing friendly forces appear in several surrounding galaxies. "The remaining three squadrons have to do We can support each other at any time.”

"understand!"

"Major Admiral Jacob Keyes' forces annihilated a geth dreadnought in Hydra with minor damage to the flagship. 2 minutes ago Spartans were deployed to the asteroid Karam to destroy those occupying the ancient underground facility Geth."

The geth dreadnoughts aren't that big of a deal, the troublesome thing is the 'Overlord'.General Davis thought so, and sat down on the command seat. She felt her waist was a little sore——I have grown old these years, and I no longer have the energy of the past. Maybe I can no longer personally I'm driving a combat machine, but fortunately my mind is still clear:

"Maintain a level-two combat status and start patrolling." She said seriously, "Pay attention to collecting information on the civilian communication network, and you must also pay attention to the distress signal."

"Yes!"

Lighting fixtures control the light in thin gloom.Numerous large and small screens, consoles, gauges, computers, and communication devices are displayed in the bridge, and soldiers walk back and forth among them-for decades, this scene has been deeply engraved in the memory of General Davis. in mind.The soldiers changed one crop after another, some fell on Keha, some fell on Char, Tarsonis, Antiga, Sigma Quadrant and even Void, even Arcturus fell, And I was still sitting here, watching the young people salute to me.

She drank some tea, dispelled those heavy feelings, and turned on a small screen casually - looking at the local customs can make people understand what the people here are thinking, even advertisements are also meaningful.

then.

What appeared in front of me was a TV program from Irim.Judging by the sources, Ilium was an azali business center brimming with wealth, and an area known for indentured servants and the legalization of almost everything except murder.As such, it's a place where all kinds of weapons and drugs are produced that would be illegal elsewhere.Regardless of the dangers of its products, Ilium's reputation for glamour, luxury and safety (attributable to the complete local surveillance of every detail) make it a great tourist attraction.

On the screen, a group of blue-skinned enchanting aliens sit down like guests on a talk show. Everyone has their own name, company name and age written on the name tag on their chest. The average age of this group is more than 500 years old. The guys are obviously Ilim's vested interests. They have wealth that ordinary people can't imagine, and they look youthful, beautiful and elegant.

Then, the group of Azali suddenly started to take off and dance quite excitingly...

"Pfft...cough...cough..."

The old lady almost choked to death on the tea in her hand when she saw this group of wealthy aliens several times her age suddenly come.After finally taking a breath, I happened to see the name of the program appear on the screen——

[Annual Sexiest CEO Contest, vote for the CEO in your heart! 】

"...What are these things?!"

It is natural to feel cultural differences.

On the other side, the Spartans who had just cleared the geth and returned to the ship got a break after the briefing.Spartan Quinn-B312 turned on the small TV in the lounge——

[Annual Sexiest CEO Contest, vote for the CEO in your heart! 】

"RUA?!" (surprised)

Smile and blush on face, that's all for tonight.

————————————————————————

Venoria is a cold, mountainous world where most of the water exists in the form of large glaciers, as a privately owned colony planet owned by Noveria Development Enterprise Holdings Corporation, referred to as NDC). NDC is invested and established by 24 high-tech development companies, and has set up an executive board (Executive Board) to manage and represent the interests of these companies.

Since Venoria technically does not belong to the Citadel Council star field, the laws of the Citadel do not apply to it, so almost all these facilities on the planet are used to study extremely dangerous or controversial experiments elsewhere.

From Oregana's point of view, she couldn't understand why the Star Federation or the Council could allow such a place to exist. It was like a group of businessmen challenging the authority of the law—this might involve the intricacies of the Citadel. The relationship between rights and interests, if listed in detail, is probably several times more complicated than the character relationship diagram in "Dream of Red Mansions".

Thanks to a special agreement, the ghosts of the council enjoy special treatment of being out of jurisdiction on Venolia, but how much the executive council will honor remains to be seen.

When the Very Leopard arrived at Venolia through continuous jumps by changing pilots, the Normandy was just getting ready to land. It took them less than three hours to arrive in this galaxy. In the past three hours, the accompanying Tar Talos warships scanned the entire galaxy and did not find the reported 'unknown ship'.And the ground is also peaceful, without any traces of fighting.But as a ghost agent, Shepard didn't think it was as peaceful as it seemed. The planet had indeed lost contact for a while before, so there must be a reason.

I can't let go of suspicious places.

He put on the armor—this is not a dress suitable for entering the business district—hanging a pistol on his waist, and saw Oregana walking into the hangar with an Azali whom he had never seen before:

"Long time no see, everyone... What's the matter? They all look unhappy?"

With an analyzer hanging on his eyes, as if he could tell the opponent's combat power at a glance, the Turian with an inexplicably handsome appearance said:

"These businessmen asked us for a port entry permit, and they didn't allow us to land, saying that we didn't have an appointment." He even got a little angry, "I suggest rushing in directly. They are already ghosts, so there is no need to abide by those rules. Isn't it?"

The analysis of Galas by Salari's intelligence department is completely wrong. He does have a sense of justice, but Galas is definitely not a person who pays attention to rules and regulations. The reason why he wants to smash Saren is not Saren's disregard of the law. , but Galas felt that Saron was a guy who was dangerous enough to get rid of.He is very happy to leave the Citadel Police, which is bound by many rules, and work under the Ghost Agent, because in this way, he can directly draw the gun and shoot the criminals to death in the street instead of carefully risking his life to catch them , brought back for interrogation in a 'humane' way.

He had always insisted on killing Saron on the spot, because taking the man back for trial would only give him a chance to escape or get away with a lawyer.And after catching Saron's current situation, someone who directly slashed at Saron with an ax mercilessly was very suitable for Gellars in terms of handling methods.

"I thought you were a serious policeman." Shepard patted his pistol, saying that he would definitely be able to use it when needed. "They won't allow Ghost Agent to enter the port."

After finishing speaking, he picked up an assault rifle from the equipment rack next to him and threw it to Galas:

"However, occasionally there is an emergency."

"That's right."

On the side, the turian ghost Nerus, who was not wearing armor and had a bandage on his shoulder, shook his head and snorted from his throat:

"A decent policeman? How could he be?... I don't even know why he can be a policeman. During the hostage case, he dared to kill the kidnappers from 50 meters away. It was sunk outside the Citadel of God—at that time, the ship was less than [-] kilometers away, and most people would have been fired long ago."

Oregana grabbed the leopard's tail and wiped her forehead, then asked:

"Did that ship finally sink?"

"No, because I was afraid that the wreckage would fall into the God's Castle Guard area, so I let it go. That bastard is still at large." From a certain point of view, the former policeman Gelas, who is also at large, said, "Are you coming together? Do you want to come?" With the Marines?"

"There's no need to bring the marines." Oregana shook her head, "If you just suppress the port, you don't need so many people."

"Then let's go."

"Shepard, I have to remind you." Joker turned around and said, "If you really rush in, they may initiate a lawsuit..."

"If a lawsuit is useful to Ghost Agent, we can directly find a powerful lawyer and sue Saron to death."

Liyana couldn't speak in such a crowded place, and she seemed a little cramped.She grabbed the handrail and felt the vibration when she landed, and suddenly found an ax in front of her—the ax was decorated with chain blades and skulls. Although it was not as big as Oregana's, it was still bigger than her own. The hands are straight and long, and the skull-decorated forehead has a red crystal the size of a thumb, which looks a little mysterious.

"Huh? This is?"

Leopard, who handed her the axe, said:

"This is what the boss means. This is not a weapon to kill, but a tool to save people—she wants you to bring it with you."

...?

I don't know what it means at all, and I don't know how to refuse, and how do I carry such a big thing with me?Although it's not impossible to hold it with the help of armor, but it can't just be carried in your hand all the time, right?After thinking about it for a long time, she imitated Oregana's movement and hung the ax on the hanger at the back of her waist - in this way, she could only carry one less gun.But this doesn't affect anything. After all, normal people really don't carry four guns with them. If there is one less hanger, one less.

With a blunt sound, the Normandy landed on the berth of Hanshan Port.The long wait was finally over, the pressure door creaked open to both sides, and the sloping aisle was lowered.

The villains filed out from the ramp.Walking in the front is the most popular celebrity in the Citadel, the human ghost agent Shepard, a man armed to the teeth with four guns on his back; then his followers, the gunner Ashley and the soldier Cayden , the burns on Kaiden's face have not fully healed, which makes him look like a gangster; followed by the krogan mercenary, battle master Lex, his red eyes and carapace full of scars give him a look It was a feeling of being invincible; followed by Gellars, he wanted to have a hearty assault; the finale was the Khorne demon Oregana and the champion Liu Lizi, who looked not a good person with the skeleton decoration .

Liana was walking behind, and suddenly saw the uneasy expressions of the heavily armed guards at the port gate looking at her.She was startled to realize that she was also mixed in without knowing it - how could a young Asari get mixed up with this group of space pirates so smoothly? !Does it look like you belong to this group of people? !

Pa, when he was walking forward, his arm touched something hanging on his waist.look down...

It's that super conspicuous axe!No wonder!

And at this time, Shepard, who was walking in the front, had already been stopped——

"Vinoria prohibits carrying weapons, even soldiers of the Star Alliance. We have our rules. If you mess around, then I will let you know how powerful it is."

"I'm Shepard, Ghost Agent, and I'm here on behalf of the Council of God's Citadel."

Shepard looked like a model soldier, but he made a gesture with his left hand behind his back - after reporting the name of the ghost agent, the other party would definitely check with the Citadel Council, but this process might leak the secret , After all, here is a communication interruption and an unknown ship. The ghost knows what happened, so the Tartarus fleet has already cut off the communication of the entire galaxy, and faked the interference to look like a solar electromagnetic storm erupted. There is no way to contact the Citadel Council.

So we have to take a tough approach and make enough noise to attract people of certain status.

There are two people who can take the toughest approach here, and that is the krogan Lex and Oregana.Oregana in armor is more intimidating than Lex, so she will do the job. Although Lex has some complaints about this, but after thinking about it, there is no extra commission, so there is no quarrel... …and the fully armed Skullmaker looks really scary.

Right now, she strode over, the metal combat boots stepping on the concrete trestle made a dull sound:

"You are so courageous, you dare to stop a ghost agent."

The guard immediately raised his gun—it was a woman who knew at a glance that she had a fierce personality and was good at fighting. She knew how to deal with those self-righteous people. There were never many such people in Hanshan Port, strong mercenaries, rich Young masters, they all thought they could trample on the laws here, but as long as they raised their guns and pressed the charging button, they knew they shouldn't mess around:

"Who are you? Stand behind that line!"

But the man kept going, ignoring the warning.Accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps and the strong sense of oppression approaching, the guard felt a little fear and pressure:

"If you don't stop, I'll shoot!"

As soon as she said this, she regretted it. This kind of threat was simply a sign of weakness - if she didn't shoot next, then she would be completely defeated and could no longer stop the opponent.I can only shoot, aim at my hands and feet, my own behavior is in line with the norms, there is nothing to be afraid of... If you can't contact the Citadel, you can't prove the identity of the other party's ghost.People who deliberately claimed to be ghosts at this time of communication failure were probably not ghosts either.

But in the next moment, the other party had already grasped the body of the gun.The guard thought she was going to take the weapon away, but found that she put the muzzle of the gun on her forehead, or the position of the forehead on the mask, and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Yes, hit here."

"...Ugh..."

That hand was like a hydraulic clamp, tightly gripping the gun body. The guard wanted to get back the weapon, but he couldn't do it with all his strength.She was horrified to see Oregana stretch out her other hand, push away her finger on the trigger guard with her thumb, and gently but completely unquestionably press on the trigger.At that moment, the guard's mind went blank.

Then, a series of sharp gunshots broke the silence of the hangar.

There were no flying metal shards or bursting flesh, the man was still in place, the red eye viewfinder on the mask seemed to be mocking himself.The dozens of bullets failed to penetrate her shield, and the bullets the size of gravel shattered into dust on her shield.The guard was panting violently, and strong emotions seized her heart, making her feel her vision blurred for a while.

"Don't scare people with such dangerous things if you don't have the guts to shoot. It's a joke."

The guns of the guards were all pointing at Oregana. Even in a port full of guards pointing guns at her head, she still didn't rush.These people had just lost their courage, and they were afraid of themselves, whether human or turian.Passing through the transparent gate, Oregana could see a lot of people in the hall looking outside in panic. They were all frightened by the gunshot just now, that is to say, the manager also heard it.

In the crowd, a Salari man in a well-dressed suit was heading this way, but after reaching the front of the crowd, he stopped, as if he was observing something carefully - he couldn't give him a chance to react, thinking so , Oregana pulled out the chopping ax behind her back, and amidst the deafening roar, the saw blade spun rapidly. She raised the chopping ax high, and the guard in front of her fell to the ground with her legs limp, screaming silently. .

Although it is a bit pitiful, but since they all choose to be guards with live ammunition, it can only be said that this is the job content.The moment Oregana raised the chopping axe, the Salari ran over quickly with two legs, and he pushed open the door suddenly:

"Stop it! I'm the supervisor here..." Sailari said out of breath, "My name is... My name is Anores, if you have any questions, go... just go to my office and talk Bar."

Oregana put down the chopping axe, the sound of the engine stopped immediately, and Shepard also stepped forward at this ingenious timing:

"I don't want this either," he asked. "We have received reports of unidentified ships near Venolia, and there has been a communication outage. I hope you can cooperate with the investigation—you should know that ghosts can do it." something."

The guards didn't know, but an executive like Anores was well-informed. He knew that a Star Federation human had become a ghost recently.From a personal point of view, he scoffed at this, but a creature from a trash can called 'Earth', what qualifications did he have to be a ghost agent?But the power of ghost agents is given by the parliament. Behind every ghost is the parliament. No matter what race the ghost is, even krogans (although it is impossible) have to recognize it.

If it was just like this, I might still say a few words unconvinced, but... if I really said something that I shouldn't have said, there was a real possibility of being directly hacked to death.This ghost is obviously a ruthless person, and his companions are all ruthless guys.And even if they did something, their own testimony is the top priority, and they can push all the blame away, after all, Ghost Agents have this kind of authority.

It's better for me to cooperate, because if I am hacked to death now, even if the company sues to bring down this ghost, it will not make any sense.

"Has anything unusual happened here recently? Has anyone been here?"

Anores answered honestly:

"Matriarch Benezia... a project went awry and she's here to wrap things up. With a team of Asari Raiders."

Liyana, who was watching the excitement, heard the name unexpectedly. She was so nervous that she forgot that she had a slight social fear, and blurted out:

"Benezia?! Why is she here!"

"Ghost Agent Saron is the main shareholder of the 'Double Helix' company, and Ms. Benezia is authorized to act in his name, so I think there should be something that caught Saron's attention... but what is the specific project? I don't know."
