The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

————————————————————

The geth attack has long since ended.Admiral Ryan looked at the big hole in front of him and sighed deeply.The surroundings were in a mess, and she didn't know how she survived, nor did anyone else—a few minutes after the Normandy was sunk, a strange spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared at its sinking position, and then a never-before-seen phenomenon appeared. Several nearby geth fighters were smashed into pieces, and a cosmic enchantress was also involved.

Afterwards, the Geth's attacking group immediately gave up and moved forward, but immediately retreated for two light seconds, observing this side with a cautious attitude.They feel very alert to that spatial response.The quarians are also very alert to this, but now the geth is more important, and all the damage control forces are operating at full capacity, repairing damaged ships, maintaining carrier aircraft, replacing overloaded and damaged parts, and busy.It was imperative to restore the fleet to as good a state as possible before the geth launched their next attack.

In the previous wave of attacks, the Quarians lost nearly thirty warships, six of which were hard-to-obtain cruisers, and the damage was hard to count.The only thing to be thankful for is that the survival ship, supply ship and agricultural ship were not lost.This is because the engagement was terminated during the stalemate phase - that is, when the carrier-based aircraft were fired at each other, and the dreadnoughts had just come into range.

It made one wonder, was that child Tully helping her people?

She clearly wanted Tully to survive, but it turned out like this... Admiral Ryan has mixed emotions in his heart, but all of this is covered under the mask. In front of other people, she is still the commander who gives orders and stands firm official.

"The fleet is headed towards the mass repeater." She said, "Retreat in the direction of Arcturus with all our strength—a few repeaters in the Consolidation Department will be replaced by star gates. As long as we can reach the star gate, it will be our victory."

The admirals agreed, and this seemed to be the only way at the moment.Obviously, this is a bet that CONCORD will not ignore the impending destruction of the fleet. After all, this must be regarded as moral kidnapping, a despicable act of forcing CONCORD into war against the geth.But at the moment of life and death, who cares whether it is despicable or not?

"It will take another two hours to reach the mass repeater."

"Can the wounded be recovered?"

The commander of the search and rescue force looked at the debris and wreckage flying everywhere——

【Already doing my best!but……】

He no longer needs to continue, Admiral Ryan already understood what he meant:

"My ancestors... what about the escape pod of the Normandy?"

There was still hope in her heart.

Admiral Corris said:

"It was all taken by that guy." The man didn't even have time to return to his ship just now. "That's the rescue robot of the command department. She once saved Commander Shepard's life. A fighter pilot just witnessed She was recovering the rescue capsule of the Normandy, and she was spotted by geth fighters and strafed by geth fighters during her work, and after our fighters went to rescue her, she disappeared... until now, she has not been found, and the wreckage has not been found."

"Could it have escaped invisibly?"

The Ministry of Consolidation has very powerful stealth technology. It is hard to say whether the robot is equipped with it.If she had the equipment, she should be hiding her body and heading towards the repeater at this time, right?

But at this moment, the radar soldier shouted loudly:

"The Geth fleet starts to accelerate, and it is expected to contact the enemy in 7 minutes!"

"The maintenance work is not over yet!" Admiral Corris lost his voice. "The factory ship Pioli is still immobile! It will take at least three to 10 minutes to repair the thrusters! There are also several large survival ships!"

The atmosphere in the entire command room was suddenly tense.

"It must be blocked! Let the carrier-based aircraft units prepare to dispatch!"

Gnakuri, the quarry driver Norway, who was resting on the cabinet, was startled by the siren and rolled to the ground.

"Come again!?" He stood up staggeringly, and asked the maintenance worker next to him angrily, "How long will it take?"

Long-term standby and high-intensity battles make the drivers feel tired, and fatigue can lead to bad temper. Everyone knows this, so the maintenance personnel who were asked were not too harsh.He dropped the welder in his hand, patted the purple shell of Cosmic Demon Girl and said:

"The shield is already working."

The Type 27 multi-purpose exo-atmospheric fighter, commonly known as "Space Demon", is the space model of the Type 26 "Vampire" ground support fighter. The two heavy plasma cannons she is equipped with are higher than the Type 26 in terms of range and power. , the reason is that a model with a long acceleration track is used, and the fuel cannon also pays more attention to the range and penetration performance instead of the explosion range of the Type 26. It can be used no matter whether it is a battleship or a fighter. The ability to face heavy targets Far stronger than other fighters equipped with small-caliber mass-effect rapid-fire guns on the market.

And geth fighters are much heavier.

Thanks to this love machine, Novi got a good number of kills, but in the battle a few 10 minutes ago, a few stray bullets broke through the fragile shield after a long fight, and destroyed the heavy The rapid-fire plasma cannon was also what he was most worried about—although the maintainer said he could handle it, Novi didn't think he could fix the weapons of the Consolidation Department, but he took a look...

There is a strange gun installed there. It looks like a rough iron box. The acceleration ring inside can be seen from the huge gun muzzle. There are structures that can be opened on both sides, which seem to be heat dissipation vents.If this thing is held in the hand, it is really big, but when it is installed on the plane, it seems ridiculously small.

"Why does this look like an individual weapon?" Norway asked.

"Because it won't be able to fix that in a while." The maintenance man pointed to the dismantled rapid-fire plasma cannon, "So I welded you a gun, this is a very rare thing, it was used in the previous border war Come to anti-armor... to hit tanks, to hit titan mechs."

"Border War? What's that?"

"How do I know? How can I, a maintenance officer, record every war in another world? I only know that this thing can anti-armor, and it emits lasers that are not affected by kinetic energy barriers. It can poke a hole in a tank."

i get it.jpg

"I see." Novi shrugged. He thought that this would affect the balance of the body, but he could handle it well. "How do you use that gun?"

"Squeeze the trigger for half a second to recharge, and it will automatically launch after recharging. I added six constricting rings to it, so that it can deal with longer-distance combat." He watched Novi climb into the cockpit, and he himself Climbing up, he pointed to a small screen that was temporarily welded on the operator's seat—it was crookedly welded, but the image was quite clear. "The newly added sight is here, is it enough?"

"enough!"

The quarians never pick anything, just enough is enough.

"Go then!"

The fighter plane rose into the sky, and together with its companions, they faced the incoming light spot on the opposite side.

Not long after, through the enemy tracking system, the appearance of the enemy plane was already in full view, and Novi pulled the trigger when he saw the opponent's start to shoot.

The sound of energy filling came from the left side of the machine. In less than one breath, it was like a bow string being loosened, and a strong 'collapse' sound echoed in the cockpit.Looking again, the enemy plane in the distance has been shot through a hole in the center and is leaning to one side.

"Wow……"

It's a nice feeling...but what's the name of this gun?Did the maintainer just say that?

Novi couldn't remember clearly, so he decided to temporarily call this gun "Zi-bang" according to the resonance that echoed in the cockpit when he fired the gun.

The two sides shot at each other from a long distance, approaching while shooting, Novi aimed at the next target, and when he was about to pull the trigger, the screen in front of him suddenly turned bright red.

"Um?!"

The approaching siren roared violently, and the instrument rotated rapidly. Suddenly, Nouway realized that the red light that appeared in front of him did not seem to be the effect of any weapon—it was a wall.In an instant, sweat was gushing out from the pores on his back, and he jerked the joystick to make the machine change its forward angle, sprinting to the right instead of the front.

It was like an endless mountain range.He was galloping along the steep cliff, until the Enchantress's tracking system displayed a whole series of high-light alarms-it was a large number of gun turrets on the steep cliff, Novi had never seen such a big gun, he even I can't imagine the appearance of those cannons spewing flames at the same time.He tried his best to stay away from this wall, for fear of bumping into the shield that would definitely exist. In the corner of his vision, the huge tail thruster ejected blue propulsion flames like a volcanic eruption. Even though the light passed through the filter, it still pierced It makes people's eyes hurt.

Then he shivered, the inside of the glove was soaked with sweat, and the handling function of the protective suit couldn't solve the problem quickly.

It was a huge red ship, a huge ship beyond imagination.Surrounding her are all battleships that are bigger than the largest survival ship, but compared to her, they are like toys in the bathtub.Before Novi could react to what happened, her port side suddenly burst into flames.

She's shooting geth? !

But those shells did not fly towards the geth fleet, but exploded after traveling hundreds of kilometers, creating a vast dazzling cloud.Dazzling electric arcs were constantly flashing inside the cloud, and all the sensors pointed in that direction returned only noise.Presumably it has the same effect on geth.

While Novi was still guessing what this meant, the voice of the air traffic controller sounded on the communication channel——

[The scout sent a message that the Geth is retreating, and all carrier-based aircraft return to the ship immediately!Stop all fighting behavior! 】

What is going on here?

Chapter 1243 Chapter 258: Sitting on the Gasoline Drum

It was a weak attack, but even so, the geth offensive was capable of inflicting heavy damage on the quarian fleet.The moment she saw the exchange of fire between the two sides, Oregana understood this:

"The broadside gun group is deployed, and the electronic smoke screen warhead is loaded. The distance is [-]! Scatter mode!"

"The shielding and disrupting screen warhead fuze is set, and it is in scattering mode!" Liu Lizi repeated, "Launch!"

Unlike the previous generation of Tiamat, the side of the second generation is equipped with a large side gun group that is very Warhammer.This design was originally designed to make up for the Tiamat's lack of projectile delivery method in the past, but the railgun itself is a suitable multifunctional launcher, as long as the output is adjusted, it can launch various other weapons at the desired bullet speed. all kinds of things.

From doom to superalloy rail bombs, from detectors to air mines, you can throw whatever you want. (nod)

The electronic smoke screen warhead launched can release a large amount of charged high-temperature plasma clouds to the surroundings after reaching the designated target, and interfere with various detectors at the same time, forming an impenetrable wall, which can be used in the first Time prevented both sides from continuing their attacks.And next...

Oregana crossed her legs and watched the firefight calm down.The two sides were hesitating, but as the flagships entered the battlefield one after another, neither side hesitated.This attitude is very obvious - if you want to continue fighting, you must break through this flagship team, but in fact launching an attack on this flagship team is tantamount to challenging the main battle tank with a Zulu spear, and confronting a battleship with a canoe .

The more clear-headed the person, the more he understands this truth.

"The Geth fleet is retreating." Tiamat said in the projection, shaking his big tail, "They are going to slip away. As expected of an omnic, the reaction is fast."

Liulizi asked:

"Do you want to intercept it? If you let Yan Luoxuan and Xiwangmu launch the stagnant winding pulse wave, you can still stop it."

"No need, we don't need to know where this fleet will go. Release the scout and use that Protos." Oregana shook her head and looked at the legion next to her. "Where is the main force of the Geth?"

"If it's the main server," Legion said, "on the Rainoch side, we're building a massive processing facility centered on the star in that system that can hold all the geth for 260 years now."

Oregana pursed her lips, and gestured to the projection of Tiamat, indicating that it was this place.She said:

"If we were reapers, then we would be interested in this thing."

"Even if you are not a reaper, you are still interested in Dyson balls?"

"That's true..."

While speaking, several golden detectors flew out of the hangar.The first versions of these small drones were used to scout vast wastelands or record battles for the Protos Archives, and have played a major role in previous wars.When fighting against Amon, as long as Jim Raynor cooperates with Commander Protos, he will definitely say 'give me an OB', 'what about your OB', 'do you have an OB and wait for me to open a radar scan' and so on If so, it's a testament to how depended on the detectors are.

Then the phase technicians designed a better propulsion system and subspace submarine capability for them (of course this led to a larger size), allowing them to have the ability to detect across galaxies.They retain the excellent complex detection devices of the past, and are one of the very few devices that can actually detect Tartarus warships operating stealthily everywhere at close range, making them as important on the battlefield as they were in the past Auxiliary unit.

Their mini-cloaking force fields are as good as before, able to maintain invisibility for a long time, but there is still no room to install the induction force field generator and a fuel tank enough to hold the ozone needed for the next induction.But it doesn't matter. After all, as long as you know the specific space coordinates, you can jump directly. It's just that the preparation time is a little longer and the distance is a little bit off.

This preparation time does not exist for the opponent - because the one being ridden in the face will always only see the red light flashing on the opposite side and then swish.

Watching the probe disappear into the universe, Oregana turned her head and looked at the Querry Survival Fleet next to her:

"The next thing is this side."

The whole ship was filled with the breath of survivors, but Admiral Ryan still maintained a full sense of tension when facing Oregana... It even reached the point where he had some stomach pains.Of course she knows who this guy with a bunch of cats, cats and foxes in front of her is, the great warlord of Tartarus, the biggest talker in the Consolidation Department, and these warships that flew over have appeared in the Galaxy News video before. The chief flagship and the personal guards, if we want to use an analogy, are equivalent to the Destiny Extraordinary of the Citadel Council and her direct guards.

The appearance of a guy of this level shows that the Ministry of Integration attaches great importance to this. Admiral Ryan can't understand why such a big guy appears here.

It shouldn't be, how did this scary three-way zone far away from the control area of ​​the Citadel, not connected with the Integration Department, and far away from the Jieshen Galaxy be noticed?Was it because of the CONCORD rescue droids on the Normandie?Or……

Suddenly, she saw the black guy who just walked in from outside the airlock.

Quarians and flashlights look at each other.jpg

What a geth! ? (shock)

It's over, the Geth went to the Ministry of Consolidation first! !

Ryan felt his brain explode at that time, as if his soul had been hit from left and right, and the invisible impact hit his body violently.There is no reason to expect that the Ministry of Consolidation will treat the quarians any special. Trying to achieve something based on the fact that everyone is an organic life form will not work, because the law enforced by the Ministry of Consolidation clearly states their attitude towards artificial intelligence—— They treat everyone equally.

Whether it is a humanoid creature, an artificial intelligence, or a creature with many feet covered with a carapace, they can sit in the same room to rest and chat. This is what young people who have recently returned from wanderings have reported.Perhaps it is for this reason that the Geth choose to communicate with the Ministry of Coordination instead of refusing contact like the Citadel.

So how will the Ministry of Consolidation view this war?

Most quarians see this war as a just one to retake their ancestral homeland from out-of-control robots, but why the robots got out-of-control is hard to say.People usually don't specifically emphasize this matter. In the words of Admiral Gerald, it is 'it will reduce our justice'.But guess if the geth in front of you told the Ministry of these things, including the first-hand detailed records from the geth?

If the Consolidation Department had the first-hand records of that time, it is really uncertain whose side they would be on.And from another point of view, the benefits that supporting geth can provide are definitely higher than that of Quali, who is still living a wandering life without any foundation and infrastructure.

Oregana didn't think about it that much at all, her attention was entirely on the anomaly of the geth:

"Tell us what happened? Tell us in detail."

"what do you mean?"
