The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"This is a warning," she said. "Leviathan once destroyed a Reaper. Its testimony shows that the ship that recovered the wreckage was a ship of the Batarian Hegemony. After that, we found in the process of tracking the Reaper. The location of the Reaper wreckage is located in the Hazan galaxy, which is a huge hidden..."

But the opponent immediately noticed that the elements jumped up:

"Your ships entered Hazan? This is an act of war!"

"Our ship did not enter Hazan. This data was obtained in the dark space, which is not your territory." Immediately, the star map was displayed, "The shooting location is more than forty astronomical units away from the Hazan galaxy."

At this moment, Ambassador Salary, who saw that the conversation could not go on, said:

"Ambassador Carmon," he shook his finger, "they don't care about the lives of your people."

"Don't come here! Hazan doesn't have any collector wreckage at all, don't try to use this as an excuse to enter our land, not even a single step!"

"Before you say these words, can you read these things first?"

Although Carmon had a tough attitude, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.He was born in an aristocrat, and he has been very adaptable to various social situations since he was a child. The skill of observing words and emotions is beyond the reach of ordinary people. If the other party is lying or disturbed, he can tell with four eyes.But in these present he read only restlessness and impatience.

These people had no intention of telling lies at all, and the Citadel people were getting bored - and the people in the Ministry of Concord had a strange sense of pity and anxiety.

At this moment, a terrible idea took shape in Camon's mind.

First of all, the Ministry of Consolidation is not hostile to the batarians. This civilization group from another world has nothing to do with this world. Judging from various intelligences, they treat all races in the galaxy equally, and there are even Some kind of intelligent arthropod race, which means they have great tolerance.

And the Citadel, and especially the Federation, has always seen the Batarian as a vexing problem.For nearly 500 years, the Batarians have bombed the Salarian colony, annexed the Azali colony, and had encounters with the Turian fleet, and also supported pirates and slave traders in raiding the human colony capital Elisan in Skilian ( Elysium), for them, a dying batarian is definitely much better than a thriving batarian.

The Citadel would be delighted if a cataclysmic catastrophe for the Batarians was taking place.But the Ministry of Consolidation will try to save Batari according to their habits - because the core of the Ministry of Consolidation is to join civilizations to jointly resist natural disasters, so it is reasonable to do so; it is conceivable that the Citadel will be dissatisfied with this, but Because of the balance of power between the two sides at this moment and the fact that the Citadel itself needs the Coordination Department, they can only cooperate...then the impatience of the ambassadors just now can be explained.

If that threat is the Reaper...

I didn't really want to help at first, but the Consolidation Department wanted to help, and if the Reapers really captured Batari, they would attack the Citadel next, so I had no choice but to be patient and attend this meeting... But Batari The Tauri people don't know good from bad.

Although the people in the Consolidation Department have no old grudges with the Batarians, if they judge that the existence of the Batarians threatens the entire galaxy, then they will definitely choose to go to war without hesitation.

Now, the only question is whether or not Batary has the wreckage.Although Camon was born in a noble family, he was not that kind of core family, so he didn't know much about this kind of information.

He took the electronic board handed over from the opposite side, and after thinking for a long time, he mustered up the courage to look at the information provided by these aliens.

There may be traps everywhere in this kind of information. The terrible thing is not that all of them are fake, but that some lies are mixed with the truth, which induces themselves to make wrong judgments from the details, and finally makes the Batary hegemony suffer losses.Do these errors exist?Can you really identify these mistakes yourself?Knowing this kind of secret, can it really end well?

Soon, Carmon realized aggrievedly that not only could he not distinguish the error, he even couldn't understand the data.I am not a professional technician, about those energy tracking, data analysis, and a series of proving process like a bible, but the result is understood - the current location of the wreck is in the harsh plains of Ka'shan, if my memory That's right... that can't be wrong, there is the largest military research and testing base in Ka'shan on the harsh plains, which is under the jurisdiction of the Batarian State Arms.

It made him dizzy.This is completely incomprehensible, and even if it is understood, it is not something that can be decided by oneself.

"Let's talk about this today." He stood up in a panic, "Please allow me to leave first."

"When you have decided, you can contact us at any time." Oregana continued to sit majestically. "But hurry up, we won't be able to wait long."

The Batarian left in a panic, and his steps became chaotic—in this way, the goal was achieved.From the very beginning, everyone didn't think about the outcome of the first meeting. The purpose of the mission was to let the ambassador bring the evidence back to show them.And their subsequent reaction determines what action will be taken here.

Oregana took off the helmet - it was not an easy task, because the heat dissipation cable was caught in the new radiator. The advertisement of the water... The technical department certainly didn't take this into consideration at the beginning of the design.

"Their attitude has loosened, and the sensor readings show that this individual is not educated," said Ambassador Salary. "Good sign, surprised."

But the expression on Udina's face was a bit complicated. He had been observing Camon's reaction just now, and the more he observed, the more he confirmed his conjecture:

"I don't think it's going to go well... Things are really simple, but from another perspective, it's very, very complicated."

"Ambassador Udina? Are you speaking in a riddle?"

"The wreckage of the Reaper has been operating in Ka'shan for 20 years, and that is 20 years. We all know how powerful the Reaper's enlightenment is. Even the overlord of Saren, after being dismantled like that, it still has a strong educational power. .The result? After 20 years of operation, there are still senior officials who have not been educated in front of us." Udina shook his head and said with a straight face, "I guess, the enlightenment is probably limited to a very small range. ...This is consistent with the social system of Batary."

"what do you mean?"

"Batary is a slavery country. They believe in reincarnation and the afterlife. The upper class of their society hopes to compete with the Citadel and the Star Alliance, while the lower class only want to live a good life in the afterlife. They think that their pain is for the afterlife happiness. If I am a reaper, I need to enter the vanguard of this universe, then I need to educate all Batarians? Or do I just need to control slave owners, scientists and leaders?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about..." Ambassador Azalie said with a puzzled look on her face, "Can you speak more... understand?"

The Salari had already reacted. He half opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. On the contrary, Oregana showed a sigh of relief, but within half a second, she became as if thinking of something. Bitter melon face.

Seeing that the blue-skinned alien hadn't reacted yet, Udina raised a finger and asked:

"Who is our enemy?"

"It's the reaper, and the minions of the reaper. There is no doubt about it."

"So who are the minions of the Reapers, and what role do they play in Batarian society?"

"...!!"

Chapter 1221 Chapter 239: Two young men

Hazan Galaxy, Bodola Space Station.

Like the vast majority of races in the galaxy, the Batarians do not have the ascension of the inhabitants of the star, which means that they do not have a high-level space station system at all, whether it is for residence or research, except for the shipyards and monitoring stations of large ships. One must be outside the universe, and almost all other facilities are on the ground.This is why they have been working hard to pursue excellent colonial planets.

This has been the case for the past 2000 years.

The Bodola space station is not a residential station, but a sentinel station equipped with long-distance detection equipment. Its main job is to monitor the mass repeater inside the Hazan galaxy.

Normally, a border official like Kamon should communicate with the country through long-distance communication.But today, Carmon was stimulated by a large number of messages, which made him suspicious of everything - what if he was monitored during long-distance communication?Although people used to think that quantum communication could not be deciphered, at this moment Kamon has doubts about the existing scientific system, and he no longer believes in those conclusions in the past.Therefore, he insisted that he had obtained key information, hoping to have a face-to-face conversation with a governor.

Like the Star Alliance, the concept of a country still exists on the home planet of the Batarian Hegemony, but they don't call it a 'country', but a 'collar'.Each domain is jointly governed by one or more families, who control a large amount of wealth, land and slaves, and submit to the authority of the hereditary 'president', and each 'colonial' will also select outstanding talents to assist the president To govern the country, because of religious reasons, the blood and authority of the 'President' are absolute.Even though the Batary family is rich in conspirators and fighters, it is another matter when it comes to beliefs.

At first, Oregana was still thinking about how there is a hereditary president, and then... oh, the same is true for President Gamilas, so it's okay.

And Ka'shan attaches great importance to this matter. After all, this is the first time in such a long time that the Ministry of Consolidation has actively communicated here, so a high-ranking figure came here—Governor Bobara.This governor comes from a large family that controls a large amount of agricultural industry, has a considerable right to speak in politics, and has a good personal relationship with Ambassador Carmon's father. For Carmon, he is a kind uncle who watched him grow up. .

Therefore, Kamon felt a lot more at ease when he saw this old and fat Batarian.He wore the same elegant robe as in the past, and he wore several rings inlaid with large gemstones on his right hand, but his skin had become dull, and wrinkles covered his hands and face, but his four eyes were still full of wisdom as before , revealing a tenacious vitality.

He sat down on a chair covered with soft fur in the reception room, accompanied by two handsome slaves, who bowed their waists and lowered their eyebrows and handed him a traditional Ka'shan wooden pipe.The governor first took a puff of cigarette, and then slowly said:

"Carmon, tell me."

Governor Bobala's voice was warm and soft, which reminded Ambassador Kamon of the time when he went fishing with his father when he was a child. At that time, Governor Bobara told himself how to hang the bait and how to prevent the fish from stealing the bait.At that time, the breeze in the sun was refreshing, but now the dry cold wind in the space station made him uneasy. He lowered his voice, and said according to the standard etiquette for high-ranking nobles rather than the cordial tone between acquaintances:

"Dear Governor Bobara, are we studying the wreckage of the Reaper? Governor, the 'indoctrination' of the wreckage is threatening us all!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expression of Governor Bobara changed—first he was puzzled, then disappointed:

"It seems that we have been infiltrated by the Citadel again, and these bugs will never be caught... Also, did you believe the nonsense of the Citadel?" Governor Bobara pointed at Carmon with a finger, and pointed a few times , said with a look of hating iron but not steel, "You were not so stupid when you were young. When you grow up, your brain grows back instead?"

"But they have evidence!"

"Then show me the so-called 'evidence' of the Citadel."

Camon handed the electronic board to Governor Bobara, and deliberately turned to that page:

"Here, the enlightenment of the reaper is a danger that cannot be ignored. Even if the hull has been destroyed and disassembled, quite a few of its parts still have the ability to educate the surrounding creatures!"

"...Let me take a look."

Governor Bobara took the electronic board and read it slowly, while Kamon didn't say a word, and there was only silence and solemnity in the air.Looking at this reliable elder, Carmon calmed down.Governor Bobara is one of the smartest people in the world, and his territory is far away from the wreckage, far beyond the scope of enlightenment written in the information. He can calm down and think and come up with the best answer.

After reading it, he will definitely understand the seriousness of this matter, and then find a way to terminate the experiment and destroy the wreckage—whether it is launched into space and blown up with naval guns, or directly thrown into a melting steel furnace to melt it .It is true that Batari has placed high hopes on this wreck, hoping that it can help Batari return to the peak, but if it continues, it will not return to the peak, but the whole family will fall into destruction.

However, the future of Batari is still unknown. Destroying the wreckage can only save lives, but cannot make Batari stand up again. The pressure from external forces is obviously increasing, and the reaper will come at an unknown time Milky Way.Kamon's messy thoughts gradually straightened out, and he realized one thing, that is - if Batari wants to survive the attack of the Reapers, he must rely on the Citadel and the Ministry of Consolidation. If he continues to According to the way of doing things in the past, it will only lead to perdition, because with the help of the Ministry of Consolidation, the Citadel is impregnable, and anyone can imagine that the Reapers will pick the weak persimmons.

And to be in charge of this work, to negotiate with the Integration Department and the Divine Castle, also fell on myself and my colleagues.In the past, he only thought of himself as a son-in-law who was dawdling in an idle position, but now he took on the heavy responsibility of pulling Batari out of the quagmire.This made Carmon feel nervous and helpless, but it also inspired the blood in his heart - he desperately hoped to return to work immediately, just waiting for the order from the Governor Bobara in front of him...

After a long time, the governor raised his head.

"Governor! You...?"

Carmon, who was waiting eagerly, almost stopped his heart when he saw the governor's sullen face.

Something's wrong...it's different from what I imagined.Carmon could feel that this anger was not directed at the Reaper, nor at the decision maker who made the decision to recover the Reaper's wreckage, but at himself—that was like a teacher, Faced with the proud student who taught carefully but made a big mistake in an important exam, it is not only anger, but also disappointment.

Why is this happening?

Suddenly, the Governor stood up, and he slapped Carmon on the face. The old man's weak arm still hit his head, followed by a violent reprimand:

"We have been researching for 20 years, and we have achieved a lot. We have never seen the things that happened in the records of the God's Citadel—a machine that has been shut down for tens of thousands of years. Is there even the slightest possibility of interfering with our thoughts?" He squinted With four eyes, the eyes are burning with anger, "Can't you see this? The Citadel just wants to use their theories to force us to hand over the results. They want to destroy our future! Destroy the tradition that made us!! Let us be crushed!!"

No...it shouldn't be like this, the information is clearly written, and even the verification method is written. As long as that detection method is used, even Batary's equipment can detect enlightenment.But the governor of Bobara didn't even intend to verify it:

"Stupid! Stupid! How did you get deceived by those two-eyed people!!"

He was trembling with anger, and the rings on his knuckles reflected the dazzling light under the light following the governor's trembling movements:

"You were a very smart child when you were young. Your father and I knew it well! But you are not good at those intrigues, you have no ambition, and you can't stand the intrigues of the aristocratic world, so we put you in a place where you can avoid this A place of everything that allows you to have a decent job and give your strength to Batari in a place that is not so calculating! You are a determined person, not a hedonistic parasite, Think it's an honor to work for Batarian, that's why we chose this path for you!"

"But! You are so easily deceived by this kind of thing!"

With a slap, the Governor slapped the electronic board to the ground. The electronic components were scattered everywhere. He stepped forward and grabbed Carmon by the collar:

"In your heart, is Batari still the number one? Do you trust those two-eyed people more than our technicians and our decision makers!"

Carmon wanted to argue with him, but there was something stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything for a long time.Everything is like going back to many years ago. I was still a child, and the governor stood with my father. They were so tall and irreversible.He didn't know who he should trust. In the end, he was still the same as before, just a child who couldn't see clearly, looked forward and backward, and didn't know where to go.

The ambassador's lips trembled unceasingly, his whole body fell short, and a silent sob came out of his throat.Self-loathing and helplessness surfaced from the depths of his body, tormenting the young man. He felt that his clear mind had become blurred again, like a ball of medical glue that had been heated and left for a long time, lingering on Together, in a trance, he saw a blue gleam in Governor Bobara's eyes, but at this moment, Kamon had no intention of continuing to explore.

He is like a drowning man in the water, trying desperately to rise to the surface, only to be caught by someone who has just destroyed his pride and self-confidence:

"Go and rest for a while, you can't leave Ka'shan until you regain your firmness."

"..."

At some point, I was the only one left in the room.Carmon sat down slumped, covering his face with his hands, and the indignation swelled in his heart, turning into flames of hatred and circling.Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, grabbed the chair he was sitting on just now and threw it towards the wall.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

He twisted his body, and continued to throw all the things that could be smashed in the room to the ground while shouting, stepping into pieces, even if he fell due to excessive force, Carmon couldn't hold back the shouting, tears flowed down the gully on his face When it spilled onto the floor, it was like his shout, pouring out anger, despair, and sorrow.

In the elevator leading to the connecting port, Governor Bobara sighed deeply. His friend's beloved son would be corrupted by the castle, which made him feel extremely sad, but he had to cheer up to deal with the aftermath— —Once this matter is exposed, it will be an earth-shattering scandal, and it may even affect the distribution of Batary's rights to a certain extent.

He must be temporarily hidden.

"Let Kamon be quiet. When he calms down, just change him to any planet and let him take care of those landlords who refuse to pay taxes." The governor said to the secretary beside him, "Change to a firm-minded Go, try to delay the negotiations with the Citadel of God. Scientists will be able to crack the secret of the project immediately, let them speed up the progress, and no one will be allowed to destroy all of this."

"Yes!"

Amidst the sound of the rumbling elevator, a ring on the governor's right hand was flashing an inconspicuous blue light.

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

Kate's Lair, the second planet of the Indris system, Kamala

This is a relatively small but rich garden world that has been colonized by the Batarians for less than 30 years (development began in 2154 AD).Here, the Batarians are unusually open to the free immigration of other species as long as they come from separate colony planets.These restrictions were small obstacles compared to the economic lure of Zero Element, and soon the planet was filled with spaceports and refineries, offering great benefits to the batarians.The planet enjoys relative peace and prosperity, with the main lifestyle inconvenience being a shortage of fresh water due to the dry climate.

As for management... it can only be said that there is no management here.Since Batary decided to [free immigration], he was doomed to loose management here. As long as the governor of this planet—a new business aristocrat with minimal supervision—pays the required zero elements to the Batary hegemony on a regular basis, he will You can do whatever you want.As a result, this place quickly became a large-scale black market, with transshipment of illegal drugs, arms, mercenaries taking jobs, and the slave trade of Batari's famous property. Countless people made a fortune here, or suffered a lot.

Today, creatures that all races have never seen here set foot here.

Her body is mainly composed of bone plates, spikes, and sharp claws that can tear apart the flesh. The upper body is like a complex of humans and centipedes or other arthropods, while the lower part is a huge and Scary armored crab.When she got off the shuttle made by Batary, which looked like nothing special, the person who picked her up had to swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva before calming down.
