The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

Because the death driver class has not been in service for a long time, a mobile fortress equipped with a jump engine that can be deployed on the front line has been installed.It is more convenient and safer to send the damaged battleship directly to the mobile fortress and send the wounded to the medical facilities in the fortress. Therefore, the Death Rider class only produced three types of 'Tut', 'Aesculapius' and 'Ella'. There is no plan to continue manufacturing the ship.

Although it is indeed a very good ship, but... it is really difficult to be used in battle. (cover face)

However, it is impossible to leave the built ship, and it is always reconciled to take it to demineralize.So 'Aesculapius' was assigned to Huo Ling, and sent to the planetary pioneering team to carry out large-scale medical rescue when necessary-this kind of time does happen occasionally, and the plague exploded when he accidentally came into contact with the local pathogen. This kind of thing does happen often. One or two medical teams will seem to be struggling, but it feels wrong to fly to a fortress... There is a large-scale infection outbreak on this planet, and then a fortress rides over... I know Knowing that it is saving lives, those who don't know think it is an extermination order...

And Tut and Ella are in the hands of the Dark Angel and the Ansador family to deal with contingencies, but if there is any contingency, it seems that there is no such thing.In short, it has been kept until now and has not been driven out a few times.Until now, it was finally difficult to get a sortie mission, the content of which was to serve as a prison battleship to transport prisoners, and to travel in subspace channels without using jump engines to accumulate data.

The prisoners transported were naturally the large number of people caught from the cradle of the Holy King.There are more than a dozen people on such a big ship, and the rest are all technicians, medical personnel, researchers, etc... You can have fun doing research along the way.

This was not a peaceful journey, and the light of energy impact was constantly flashing outside the shield, just like the St. Elmo's fire on the top of the mast and tower.However, and the administrators who regard these lights as fears, everyone in Tartarus regards these flashes as good omens, like the lights of lighthouses on the coast through the fog.

Oregana returned from the viewing platform above the hull to the fourth medical cabin. Just now, the crazy doctor Fran had informed her through the in-ship communication that the results of the physical examination had been obtained.A few minutes later, Oregana found Fran, who was engrossed in research, in the examination room next to the medical cabin.

"There is something like an embryo in every fighter man's womb." Hearing the legion commander enter the door, Fran raised her head and turned on the big screen on the wall, "That's why all fighter men are female. This thing is artificially planted." A clump of tweaked cells, not natural sexually produced embryos. They're being used as walking petri dishes, and they know it."

This made Oregana show a disgusted expression:

"It's really indescribable... Doesn't he have the word ethics in his mind at all?"

Although the ethics of many civilizations are not the same as what Oregana knows...or, in other words, human cloning and other related technologies are originally contrary to the ethics of many civilizations, but at least the current human experiments and In terms of the artificial human matrix, the ethics of the civilization circle of the Space-Time Administration are similar to Oregana.

Playing with life, this is what Oregana commented on Geir Scalietti the moment she saw it.

However, Fran showed an inexplicable expression:

"Are you looking for ethics in the mind of a person who carried out a planetary-level terrorist attack? He was originally a treacherous and evil person, but now he has become twice as treacherous and evil."

"How can you be so calm..."

"I'm a crazy doctor, I've seen a lot." The crazy doctor shrugged, his eyes drifted to the scan of the fighter man on the screen, and he whispered, "And we were... right..."

"Sorry for bringing up something unpleasant."

"We've seen it for a long time, don't care about it." The former enhanced girl waved her hand indifferently, she pointed to the picture of the group of cells, and said, "This... I'll call it an embryo, it's better than 'artificial induction' It would be easier to use pseudoparthenogenetic cell populations for formal backup."

Seems to have had a super long academic name before that...

While saying this, there were a few chattering voices from behind, it was Veronica and the others:

"Wait! Fran! We are still voting on what to call it!"

There also seems to be some gibberish artistic names...

"Forget it...'Banner Brain' and 'Alien Aliens' and those other names that I don't think can be written in the file..." Fran stopped his colleagues from being stupid in weird places. Feeling a little pain in the brain, subconsciously touched the huge electrodes on both sides of the head. "This embryo is very delicately designed. To be honest, it opened my eyes."

"Eye-opening?" Oregana opened her eyes wide. "There are not many things that can make you say 'eye-opening'. Is this unusual?"

The crazy doctor replied seriously:

"That's right, this is almost an all-out attempt at 'immortality'." She pointed at the image on the screen with a small stick, pointing at the place she was talking about, as if a teacher was giving a lesson to a student, "This is a The whole, first of all, is the cell group as the 'seed', which is kept alive by the nutrient supply provided by the mother to the 'embryo' in a form similar to pregnancy, and at the same time, the power furnace provides energy supply, and its memory is stored in the fighter's brain In a special block... that is to say, almost the whole body is used."

"Humanoid training tank?"

"That's what it means." Fran nodded, "Humanoid culture tank. After this system is activated, the cell population will immediately begin to proliferate, because the speed is fast enough, and the mother body will be under considerable pressure. But because of the physical fitness of the fighter It is far beyond ordinary people, and there is also a power furnace for energy supply, so there is no problem at all. It will only take about one month for the ripened embryo of Jer Scaliadi to be born in the form of a newborn in this world. Among them At some point in time, the memory and personality data stored in the fighter man's brain will enter the newborn's brain through the nerve bundle, so that he will be born as an antisocial and happy crime brat."

For researchers, this is indeed a very well-designed system, but it is too challenging for the three views-because these are all living people, and they are made like this only because of the selfish desire of a lunatic .

Another question arises here, which is what kind of responsibility the fighters should bear in this incident.They have free will, and they are not controlled to commit crimes. Naturally, they are sinful, but since they were created, all the education they have received has been under the responsibility of Scarlett, and they also obey Scarlett's orders act.

I don't know how the Space-Time Administration will judge this matter.There is a precedent for this kind of incident—that is, the accomplice Feite Testarossa in the Seed of the Holy Stone incident.At that time, because of the multi-party handling including Precia, Feite was finally exonerated and loyal to the Space-Time Administration. The reason was "for such a young child, how important is the wish or order of the parents and cannot be violated." Inverse' and the suspicion of Stockholm syndrome, in the end all the blame was taken over by Precia, which exonerated Fit Testarossa.

But this time it should be impossible. No matter how you think about it from various angles, you can only come to the conclusion that the administration will impose a heavier sentence.

Speaking of Precia... After Nanoha's surgery, Feite, Haifeng and other friends went to visit, Precia has been standing by the outside wall, secretly peeking inside from time to time.Although he looked like a stalker pervert, he was actually crying all the time, and in the end he didn't dare to meet Fett again.

'Fate already has her new life, I can't appear in front of her with a straight face...I owe her too much, and I will never pay back...'

When Dr. Tim Ray, who knew a lot of inside information during the long-term cooperation (such as "Why does this guy have a full set of Authority magic device technology in his hand?") (Amuro was treating his shoulder in the next ward The puncture wound, which comes from a previously unnoticed weakness in the RX-78 design) asked why he didn't just look at it, and got Precia's answer like this.

"The direct cooperation between the Ministry of Consolidation and the Authority seems to be deepening day by day, and your presence will be brought to the fore one day - I guess they have already noticed that the Federation's mobile armor has been mixed with magic device technology , the question of why the Federation and the Consolidated Ministry have this technology will be raised sooner or later.I believe that the Political Coordination Department will definitely help you deal with it, but you have to rely on yourself for things other than politics... It is impossible for Oregana Legion Commander to help you with housework.You have to be ready to meet another 'daughter' before that day comes. '

Dr. Tim Ray's words are very reasonable, which forced Precia to spend a lot of time to face up to and think about this matter.Until now, she has not come up with a reliable answer.

"However, this is just a copy." Oregana listened to Fran's introduction, and Feite's face flashed in her mind. "If there is only memory..."

"Yes, it's just a memory," Fran nodded. The electrodes on both sides of her head reflected the light on the ceiling with this movement, which looked a little funny. "The main body is dead."

"This is not immortality at all, only the copy of the memory and the main body are completely two concepts."

"So I think Precia might have been misled by this guy when her dead daughter went to the doctor in a hurry." Veronica broke into the topic and said, "The pursuit of immortality here is completely wrong—the front brain Canning can only be said to be a lack of technology, but at least it is not bad in the basic operation of preserving the core of thinking. Later, all of them turned into clone memory transplants, and they were all crooked. Obviously there is an example of a magical girl next to it. Look, immerse yourself in the study of memory transfer behind closed doors..."

Guys who haven't studied philosophy well shouldn't study immortality!The monks in Xianfeng Temple are more reliable than this! (violent theory)

Slandering something, Oregana asked:

"Can this system be dismantled? Take out the 'embryo' and memory components without affecting the fighter's performance?"

"It's quite easy to take out the embryo part, but it's hard to say about the memory components." Fran shook her head, "The research on the fighter's brain has not been completed yet, and the special block for storing memory is locked, probably to avoid conflicts with the fighter himself. Memories mixed together."

"Then try to pick this lock as soon as possible. We are very interested in his memory." The legion leader looked at the time and asked, "It will take about four days to reach the Dimensional Headquarters at the current speed. Can it be done?"

The speed of long-distance movement using the subspace tunnel navigation method is much lower than jumping, but it has good effects in anti-tracking and anti-reconnaissance. Now the death driver-class spaceship that is relatively difficult to operate is used to test this navigation method. There is also the meaning of collecting data in it.Anyway, it's not in a hurry, the Space-Time Administration won't care about the escort period of less than a week, and Oregana doesn't care--before the ship arrives, she can relax and be with Liu Lizi Go play the game you've been playing for a long time, chat with Alicia for hours, and prepare a reward for the soldiers involved in this operation that will make everyone happy.

But the mad doctors were in a hurry, they had to do as much work as a mountain, and there was only four days left, after which all the fighters and Scarlett had to be handed over to him as agreed. Space-Time Administration.

"Impossible, this deciphering is much more difficult than deciphering the code. The complexity is too high, and I may not be able to solve it in half a month." Fran blinked and suggested, "Why don't we get lost in the subspace Two months? We are not good at this kind of navigation, and the Authority must understand."

"Ugh... this is too obvious, we have to think of another way." Although the Tartarus forces use the subspace as a back garden and a swimming pool, it is not a good thing for a boat to stay in it for too long, Oregana refused. Hearing Fran's suggestion, he said, "If we really can't figure it out, let's keep a set for ourselves... Pick one who is obedient and say that she died because of serious injuries."

This is a good way, the Administration already knows that this battle is quite fierce-they have seen on the battlefield video before that when many fighters were raised, there was only one left, Jel Ska Liedi himself looked tattered, so it wouldn't be surprising even if he died on the spot.

"Understood, leave it to me."

A look of happiness appeared on Fran's face.

Forging death certificates is easy, and previous studies have found a way for fighters to determine each other's survival—the transmitter is on a cervical vertebra, and the target can be faked with just a little movement of hands and feet there. dead effect.A surviving fighter man, plus the memory of Sculliedi sealed in his brain, the technical department will be very happy.But that doesn't mean that the 'killed' fighter can get away with it, it's impossible to be okay after a terrorist attack on a planet.

As for how to determine the sentence, it depends on how the Space-Time Management Bureau decides, and then follow suit here.Whether it's ten years, 20 years, or 50 years, Tartarus' cell is always empty, and putting someone in is just a matter of having an extra meal.

"Then it's decided, we're going to Scarlett."

"Are you going to have a chat with him?" Veronica reminded, playing with her fingernails, "That's a complete anti-social lunatic, and the conversation won't lead to anything."

"We don't expect to explain him, he can only die in the end." Oregana stood up and said, "But death is sometimes a relief, and sometimes it is the beginning of real pain. Every step of human beings is made by oneself. Yes, he has already chosen the road of 'death', but there is still a fork in front of him - whether to die happily, or to take the brass fortress to paste the wall or use it as fertilizer to water the flowers, it depends on him performance."

"It's a demon after all."

"It's a demon after all."

When Oregana arrived in the cell, she only saw Scarlett, whose limbs were missing, was firmly tied to the medical bed, and various medical instruments were attached to him. The security system can say very complete.Su Min's shooting at that time shattered his hands and feet, turning him into what he is now. Of course, the current technology can put hands and feet on him, but this is unnecessary and will only increase the risk.

Following Fran's instructions, Oregana pressed a few buttons on the console next to him, and some kind of drug was injected into his body, awakening this heinous man from his long dream.He shook his whole body like sifting chaff, opened his eyes, and it took several seconds for the cloudy pupils to focus. When he saw Oregana standing next to him, he asked in a hoarse voice:

"...don't let me die? Just want me to walk around in the universe?"

"You're living well, but you're dying." Oregana sat down on the chair beside the medical bed and looked down at him. "The Space-Time Administration has sentenced you to death. You will be executed immediately after you return."

She tried to find an ounce of remorse in his face, but there was none.There is only mockery and banter on this face:

"Can the death penalty be pronounced in my absence?"

"Of course not normally, but now is an extraordinary period, and you are also a very 'extraordinary' person." Oregana clenched her fists where he couldn't see, and turned the topic to the other side. Didn't you think of this day before such a thing?"

"...Hmph. Are you here to hear my confession, or to see my jokes?"

"..."

Apparently, no one taught him not to answer questions with questions.Just when Oregana was thinking about whether to smash this man's face to the ground, Jel Scalietti grinned and showed a disgusting smile:

"Don't just look at things on the surface, miss." The phlegm rising from his throat made him stop for a long time, and he coughed a lot before he continued out of breath, "Such retribution, whose sin caused you understood?"

Oregana narrowed her eyes—this guy doesn't show any sign of repentance at all...I'm about to see the future of this guy being pasted on the wall of the brass fortress...

But this person still didn't realize it, and continued to speak eloquently:

"Different people and people who don't understand will bring uneasiness, and eventually the uneasiness turns into hatred and confrontation. And the desires of human beings accelerate this process. This is the reality of the Space-Time Administration... How long can this world last? You know How much darkness has spread from the chaos inside the Authority, do you know what they have done? I know all of this, I am the embodiment of the Authority’s desires, and I am a cursed child from birth—I am conceived by the sins of the entire Authority devil."

"They are in the hall, sanctimonious, but rotten inside, every word is a conspiracy and every word is a lie - and I, living more real than all of them. Far more people died because of them than Those who died because of me, can you understand? Outsiders who claim to be righteous, why don’t you try them?”

Moved by himself, desperate for his desires, justifying his behavior and thinking it as the truth... He didn't feel that he was doing anything wrong at all.The opportunity has been given, but until the end, this man still didn't grasp it.

It seems that this is the result.

"Since you think so, then we have nothing to say." Oregana stood up and said the last sentence before leaving the room, "Get ready... Remember, death is not the end, but It’s the beginning of something long. It’s the path you choose, and it’s not going to be easy.”

Four days later, the Tut arrived at its berth at the main space station of the Directorate General of Dimensions.

Oregana completed the handover in the port area:

"Then, the handover of the captives is complete—twelve fighters, among whom No. 11, Di Aiqi, died of his injuries, and the other [-] died on average."

Both parties did not bring up the embarrassing topic of 'What kind of nonsense did Scullydi say?', but completed the handover with unimaginable speed.

"Then, this side has indeed received it." The official in charge is the one who commissioned the hunting of Scarlett before. Today, his mood has eased a lot, and there is a smile on his brow, "Thank you very much for your assistance." , so that we can give an explanation to the victims on Midzildah."

"The death penalty is only for Jel Sculliedi?"

"No, there is also Du Ai who assassinated Lieutenant General Regias and the council, she is also sentenced to death." The handover officer... an executive officer in his impression, he opened the file in his hand and replied, "Others, half of them are Fixed-term imprisonment, ranging from 30 to 50 years. The other part, Cobatro, Uno, Torrey, Chen Ke and Seti are life imprisonment."

In this way, Oregana knew exactly what to do.Those who are the main managers and those who have caused huge losses are sentenced to no term, while others who are only 'combatants' are sentenced to a very long term.In this case, Di Aiqi, the number ten who participated in the battle as a combatant, will have a number. Let's determine the time according to this when we go back.

She nodded and said:

"In this way, we can feel at ease. However, we still have an unfeeling request, and we hope that the administration can agree."

"Well?"

"Please let us carry out the execution - it is the custom here to cut off the heads of unforgivable people. This can accumulate virtue and let us have good luck in the subsequent battles." Oregana's face showed A childlike smile, "At that time, we can not reveal our identity, just appear on the stage as a hooded executioner."

"This……"

This seems to be a very difficult question-the Space-Time Administration once abolished the death penalty, and only recently added it back.But it was only executed by poison injection, and the owl's head was really too exciting.The executive officer had a troubled expression on his face, but at this moment, another voice sounded behind him:

"It's a surprisingly sturdy custom, but I think it should be fine, Your Excellency." It was a tall and hale old man who obviously held a high position. "However... there are still some things to pay attention to, these are Let us arrange it."

Chapter 877Chapter 787: He said, it's time to go.jpg

On the fourth day after the handover of prisoners, at 45:[-] a.m. local time, the signal closure of the fighter man was declared complete, and the execution of Jel Scalietti began immediately.

Many human rights activists oppose the death penalty, believing it to be "cruel, inhuman, and degrading punishment," and regard the death penalty (harmony) as (harmony) the most fundamental betrayal of human (harmony) rights.This is normal, some people will always question why you have the right to kill a person, but in fact it is - you have no right to keep him alive.

After non-governmental representatives and official media personnel arrived at the scene, a drug was injected into the body of the condemned prisoner through the vein through the syringe pump, and the heartbeat and breathing disappeared in just a few seconds.The forensic doctor confirms the criminal's death based on heartbeat and breathing, and puts the report into the file, and some of the contents are handed over to the official media to be released to the public. At this point, the process is over.

At least on the surface.
