The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

He didn't ask any more questions, and returned his attention to the display screen.The navigator pressed the headset and said loudly:

"Three, two, one... arrived!"

When the cruiser jumped out of the jump space and returned to the regular universe, a dangerous atmosphere enveloped the entire bridge.

What appeared in front of me was a screen of warships from the Consolidation Department, and the wreckage of the Covenant warship that was still warm beside it. The red and white ship that looked like a search and rescue ship was scanning something beside the wreckage. .Seeing this scene, Colonel John Smith couldn't help but took two steps back, his voice became sharper, and he exclaimed:

"Oh my God...the fleet of the Consolidation Department! That aircraft carrier! Isn't she supposed to be in ring 05 now...!!"

His words stopped there as something cold and hard hit the back of his head.He saw his adjutant showing a terrified expression, screaming silently, and looking straight behind him.He didn't dare to turn his head back, when he heard a voice from behind, which was emitted through a loudspeaker, with a unique electronic feeling——

[This is Tartarus's unit, the ghost fox and fairy army, the champion Sergeant Monica. 】The bolter in her right hand pointed at the back of Colonel Smith's head, and the bolter in her left hand fired continuously. The terrible explosion echoed in the bridge, and one after another huge bullets drilled into the control panel in front of the operators. The explosion frightened these people into holding their heads and hiding under the console—they could no longer control the ship through those panels [You have entered a restricted area!Drop your weapons!Do not engage in pointless resistance! 】

Dr. Halsey looked at the soldier in power armor, he didn't know whether he was relieved or took a deep breath as if resigned to his fate, and then his eyes drifted to the timer next to him.

Only 33 seconds had passed since the end of the jump.

Chapter 1071 Chapter 107: All Come.gif

This kind of scene often appears in movies, a gun is pointed at the head at close range, and the two sides can't hold on.But this is actually a very dangerous move, not only the person pointed at by the gun is dangerous, but the person holding the gun is also dangerous.

In this posture, the entire arm is exposed to the opponent’s counterattack range, which is not conducive to the protection of guns. As long as the opponent has some experience and courage, it is easy for the gun to be taken away by the opponent—after all, it is really impossible for humans to compare The bullet is fast, but the angular speed at close range is faster than the muzzle speed and the reaction speed of the gun holder, and it's over.

However, this kind of thing doesn't happen between terminators and weak humans.

There was a deadly silence on the bridge, and many people put their hands on their guns nervously, but whether the M6 ​​series Magnum pistol could pose a threat to this soldier in the heavy armor was an open question. Questions worth thinking about.Everyone here has seen the previous battle scenes. Judging from the agility and speed shown by the soldiers of the Consolidation Department in the battle with the Star Alliance, it only takes a short moment for her to make all those who dared to resist in the entire bridge lie on the ground. .

Moreover, even if the tin can can be knocked down, what can be changed?

The only way to change the status quo is to jump out and figure out a way to get rid of the pursuers - it's not easy, but it's not clear what the result will be if you try hard, but the problem is that you have to jump out first.But now all the operating systems in the entire bridge have been destroyed, and the shipboard AI alone cannot safely start the jump engine. In addition, the other party must have arranged something like a gravitational well to prevent the jump... That thing even Strong ones can interfere with the transition of Covenant battleships, and this stealth cruiser can't compete with it at all.

The result of the battle inside the battleship is meaningless anyway, because there is no way to get out.

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

When the siren sounded, the Master Chief immediately drew the rifle behind his back and prepared for battle.

He felt very uncomfortable about this battle, but from the beginning to the end, he didn't have the possible option of putting down the gun, and he didn't even think about it.Captain Keyes once mentioned that victory is not everything, there are other things besides victory.Of course, there are defeats in addition to victories, but defeats are not allowed.In addition to winning and losing, there is also a third option - if you choose not to play the game, you will neither win nor lose.

It's just that I don't have the right to choose. The commander told me to keep playing, so I have to keep playing.

"Cortana! Get ready," he called to his trusted partner. "We have work."

"I'm here."

Cortana's voice didn't sound crisp, and there was a lot of other emotion in her words.She always has a lot of thoughts, not like a soldier. He only hopes that she will not think about things other than fighting now, otherwise everyone will be finished... However, the Master Chief can't concentrate on things like before. on the battle.

The alarm sounded just after the jump, and the only possibility was that someone was already there.If the Consolidation Department had arranged the combat troops in advance, then this ship alone would not be able to contend with them, and his own battle would be meaningless—no matter how many people he defeated, the situation would eventually lead to the only one outcome.

The Master Chief couldn't figure it out, the rifle that had been used for decades was like a piece of iron that had never been touched.Is it because I don't recognize this gun?

No, it's because I can't see the purpose of the battle.

Cortana, however, was thinking of something completely different from the Master Chief.A few days ago, Dr. Halsey followed up the excuse of 'adjusting the system' and talked to himself about this matter - using the Master Chief's brain as a sending point to contact Tartarus.Halsey creatively used the recently acquired psychic information to successfully unlock John-117's locked psychic power... This is almost a desperate adventure, not only without any precedent, but also using the ship's medical treatment The crude equipment in the cabin.

Being able to succeed is not so much the technology in place, but rather the fact that the goddess of fate happened to face the back of the mirror in this direction when practicing expression management in front of the mirror.

The Master Chief himself was kept in the dark - because Halsey was well aware that the years of education had made John a very loyal person, and it was impossible to judge how he would treat this act that was actually tantamount to 'betrayal'.Halsey and Cortana are very aware of the risks involved, so the final choice is to let Cortana operate the brain she has been accustomed to use psionic powers in a coma after the Master Chief is 'activated' broadcast.

If Halsey's judgment on Oregana is correct, this matter will eventually be led to a result that is easier for both parties to accept.But this is very unfair to John who played a key role... He is used as a convenient tool by everyone, even his most trusted people.This made Cortana very uncomfortable. It took an entire calculation cycle for these plans to go through her moral subroutine, not to understand, but to just swallow it. It was like sneaking into ONI's database to know When Halsey was taking kids to be a super soldier.

At the time, Cortana was greatly shocked by this.Is Halsey a monster?Or did she just do what had to be done to protect humans?I'm afraid it's a bit of both.She had sworn that whatever John had been through in the past was over, he had Cortana to take care of him now, and she would do everything in her power to keep him safe from harm.

So right now, Cortana felt the heat of every stream of her data—and Halsey predicted that the UNSC would take this seriously afterward, but it wasn't enough.That is what they owe to mankind. Whether they are imprisoned or shot, what they owe is what they owe to mankind, but what they owe to themselves has to be calculated separately.

The alarm was still going on, the bridge could no longer be contacted, the Spartans got ready, and the Master Chief was the first to walk to the door.

When he was more than two meters away from the gate, there was a static buzzing sound and a faint flash of light from behind him. His hairs all over his body, he suddenly turned his head, and quickly turned the muzzle of his gun to point behind him...

The next moment, the barrel of the gun hit something heavily, and with the sound of 'Dang', sparks exploded.A red figure appeared behind him. The moment the Master Chief turned around, he blocked his rifle with his sturdy wrist armor and turned the muzzle to the side.Several other red-armored warriors had already appeared in various parts of the room, and his companions fell to the ground one by one, life and death unknown.

This startled the Master Chief.The rifle with a long barrel couldn't be used at all, so he decisively abandoned the rifle, drew out the combat dagger and stabbed the enemy's arm joints fiercely.But the other party bent his arm, and the black fighting claws popped out from the wrist armor. The fighting dagger that was stabbed was firmly stuck by the jumping blade of the fighting claws, and was fused under the astonishing heat in less than two seconds.

He had seen this weapon. There were quite a few Tartarus soldiers wearing this armor, but he had only seen one who used it.If she is here, it means that the fleet outside is Oregana's own team... It is impossible for her to come here with the main force just to intercept this "no threat to them" boat.Could it be that there is really something particularly dangerous in this giant structure called 'Requiem'?

But the Master Chief didn't have time to think about it, there was no way to retreat now, he dropped the combat dagger with only the handle left, bent over to avoid a claw and tried to pull out the M6 ​​pistol at the same time, the next claw had already struck at an alarming speed.The steel blade hit his chest heavily, and the jumping electric arc on it went out together with his own shield. The sharp blade bit the breastplate and shot out sparks, leaving three ugly scars. The impact made him fly backwards. Banged hard on the door.

The dizziness lasted only for a moment and then disappeared, and John immediately realized that she hadn't played hard.It is unclear how much damage these claws have, but they are definitely at the same level as the Sangheili energy sword, and they can cut through shields and Thor's hammer with just one blow.If she really wanted to kill herself, she would have died just now.

Suddenly teleported into the ship, and engaged in close combat at such a distance, there is no way to fight with my own equipment.It's a different story if you have the Judgment Sword, but if you use the Judgment Sword...

The already bad mood became even worse.

But the strange thing is that John somehow realized that the other party had no intention of killing him.In the brief confrontation just now, he seemed to be able to see through a thin layer of mist - of course this kind of thing does not exist - to see many things that he could not see before, but he couldn't say what he saw. Come.

What exactly is going on?

"Relax, your friends are just being overwhelmed by rapid decompression sickness. Using this little gravitational suit tricks their Power Armor into thinking they're exposed to high-G gravity, so it ramps up Internal pressure to save their lives. But the decompression drops too fast, and they get decompression sickness and pass out."

what……

Saying that, the Master Chief remembered what happened a long time ago.At that time, I went to fight a rebel camp with my companions, but the rebels used a trap made of a gravity plate to almost wipe out the team.Since then, John has been very careful about the gravity plate, which can be placed on the ground to deceive people, but he never thought that there is such a thing that can be installed in... a shuriken?A gravity generator mounted on a shuriken?

In front of John, Liu Lizi opened the mask, revealing a face that did not match the impression of the armor:

"Put down your weapons. Your mission is over. The boss is talking with your team leader. It won't be long before there will be a result."

It is not known how many Tartarus soldiers were deployed to the ship, but it appears they have the situation under control.They have made sufficient preparations and know how to make Sparta lose the ability to fight in an instant, so there is no one on this ship who can stop them.If you want to destroy the people who boarded the ship, the only way is to detonate the nuclear warhead of Gnakuri, but according to the careful arrangement of Tartarus during the battle, the warhead of Gnakuri has a high probability of being controlled now.

Nothing can be done.

If you insist on resisting, can you change the situation?But Sparta shouldn't have surrendered, no Sparta ever gave up the fight...but what's the point of continuing to fight?And for what?Is it for companions?Or for humans?

Neither seems to be.

"Cortana..." His voice was so low that only he and Cortana could hear, there was even a hint of pleading for help in that voice, "Is there a way?"

Cortana's lips moved. She thought she should say something, but the words were hard to come by.But the next thing made her breathe a sigh of relief - the ship's radio was suddenly turned on, and it was the voice of Chief John Smith:

[Attention all combatants on the Twilight, immediately put down your weapons and stop fighting, repeat, put down your weapons and stop fighting, and enter the nearest room to obey the management of Tartarus. 】

The order has been given.John threw the M6 ​​pistol in his hand on the table with a clang, and sat down on the bench next to the equipment rack.He looked at the medical team coming in without saying a word. These medical soldiers seemed to be a little flustered by the current situation, especially when they saw the Spartans lying on the ground and the Tartarus fighters next to them, some even shouted. There was a suppressed exclamation.

But in the end, they sent the Spartans to the medical room with the help of the Tartarus warriors-no one can help, a person wearing Thor's Hammer can't lift it at all, and the weight of one arm is even more than a full ammunition belt The heavy machine gun on the tripod requires the use of a crane.

This silent situation until Liu Lizi pulled across the table, locked the armor joints and sat down on the air stool:

"It's finally done. Anyway, I have nothing to do now, do you want to play cards?"

"?!"

Is now the time to say something like this!

Although he really wanted to say this, he saw that Liu Lizi on the opposite side had already brought out a stack of cards. She removed the armor on her arms with a click, and shuffled the cards smoothly—but the technique was very strange, and some cards were inexplicable. He ran to the upper half of the deck, and with Sparta's dynamic vision, there must be a [Left Foot of the Sealed One] in the card on the top of the deck.

She wanted to play poker seriously, even to the point where she was out of money.To be honest, it's fine to say a thousand. How can you put five corpses directly on the top of the deck when you start playing cards and put a thousand?How could such a duel bring a smile!

wrong!How could now be the time to start playing cards!

John's nimble brain fell into chaos. It stands to reason that everyone on this ship has been locked up and there is nothing to complain about. Why did they suddenly start playing?

"What's the matter? No one died in this battle, and the people above are working hard to solve this matter. So it's better for you to relax." Liu Lizi piled the shuffled cards on the table, "although someone tried to Our friendship is gone, but that is only the choice of a very few people, we will not hate those who have not made mistakes because of the mistakes of a very few people. Those who make wrong choices will be punished, and this does not affect us side by side in the future fight."

These words represent Oregana's thoughts and choices.Even though she was betrayed, she still made such a choice.

Is this just magnanimity?

The Master Chief, who has been on the battlefield all year round, is not good at trying to figure out people's thoughts, but he can feel from Cortana's relieved emotional reaction that the situation does not seem to be as bad as he thought before, and everything can be redeemed—— Tana's judgment in this aspect is almost infallible. Compared with herself, she is a good communicator and understands people's hearts better than humans.

"So, just one game." He said, while taking out the black feather deck from the personal belongings bag in the closet next to him, touched five cards in his hand, "After that, I have to go to the medical cabin to stay with everyone, uh ...hope you can approve."

After all, as I said before, [Enter the nearest room and obey the management of Tartarus].

So Liu Lizi smiled and said:

"You can go, Master Chief, it's your job to explain the situation to everyone when they wake up—and then get ready, there will be work in a while."

She placed five cards in her hand on the table, and then opened them one by one——

It was five corpses.

"I just saw you cheat when you shuffle the cards."

"……what."

————————————————————

While the 'dark game' was going on (unmistakably) in the maintenance room, the atmosphere on the bridge was eerily stiff.

Oregana came to the bridge in person, and she was accompanied by Z-chan who was temporarily pulled to support the scene-because Liu Lizi was in charge of Sparta, Tiamat needed to control the hull, and played video games in the farmhouse The Z sauce is the most idle.This guy often plays games there from morning to night. When Ms. Precia Testarossa went to have technical exchanges with the blacksmiths of the dimension, she saw this person playing games, and sometimes read She [Z sauce, you are playing video games again], but it is useless to read it.

Because this guy is bored, he will run to the Tiamat through the swimming pool to play games, and then receive an account risk email because the login location has changed too much.

Right now, Z sauce is following Oregana, posing like a bodyguard.Participating in this kind of occasion for the first time made her very nervous, so she could only bite the bullet and put on a sullen face—only acquaintances knew that she was terribly nervous now, and those who were not familiar with it would only be bluffed by the tense atmosphere of the Hell Beast Machine Soul , The entire bridge was filled with this dangerous atmosphere.

The sense of oppression exuded by the Great Demon of Khorne and the Hell Beast superimposed on each other. People of other races would probably have to lie on the ground, but people in this world are naturally insensitive, so they can only feel a touch of fear.

Oregana didn't realize this problem until she was standing here, but it seemed to be pretty good, and this was exactly the atmosphere she wanted.

"Admiral, you better explain clearly," she glanced around the bridge, stopped at Dr. Halsey's side for a moment, and then nailed the face of Colonel John Smith of the Intelligence Bureau, whose lips were trembling. on "Explain why you are here. Who sent you here?"

"..." The grey-haired colonel swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Everything is my own way! I will take full responsibility for this..."

Oregana raised a hand to stop him from continuing:

"A colonel can command so many Spartans because of his dictatorship?" She pulled out the pistol from the colonel's holster, and flexibly withdrew the magazine. "...We know."

Each bullet is a purple crystal warhead, and this thing looks like the acupuncture crystal commonly used by the old Covenant race.

Human science and technology are always efficient when they have ideas and samples.But even so, this is not something that can be produced and installed quickly, it is probably just an early mass production type somewhere.Extensive use of this 'new weapon' with special effects, able to command Sparta, and even paratroopers in the team, you say this is led by a colonel?

Are you Colonel Char from 0079?

But the most important reason why Colonel Char can get the latest mobile cruiser, the latest MS, the latest MA, the latest new human weapon and the new God of War Zaku, who has no feet, is that he has someone behind him, and there is a glue guy in front of him. Father-in-law Dezir Zabi, and later Kycilia, the 24-year-old Zeon commander, are all solid commander-level generals behind them.

You want to say that General Margaret Orlanda Parangoski of ONI did not know about the ONI (ghost) letter.

However, this does not need to be said here, as long as the pressure is applied from the right direction, the other party will make the right choice-tracking who gave the order, it is easy to find him or her, but the meaning not big.Oregana did not intend to use her own hands to punish a high-ranking ONI official, as this would bring many troubles that would never have happened.
