The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"I also need to go."

"excuse me, you are?"

"I'm a member of the medical department, and I participated in the analysis of cultural relics before."

Riji Kong breathed a sigh of relief, she took the two of them out of the lounge, and boarded the shuttle next to the medical cabin - there were several people waiting there, including several maintenance workers from the engineering department, and the exploration team miners and so on.Everyone here is someone who's been part of the whole thing in some way, trying to figure out what's wrong.

Seeing these familiar faces, Abham Newman breathed a sigh of relief. There were many people here that he thought he would never see again, and it was all luck that he survived.The wife seemed to be aware of this too. She chatted with Jenna of the exploration team in a low voice, and her mood seemed to improve soon after she didn't know why.

Even though they have been together for a long time, Abham Newman still can't accurately judge his wife's mood. This is a more difficult event than fighting or shooting-I'm afraid I won't be able to figure it out for the rest of my life.

He sighed, and turned his head to look at the light spot in the distance—that was the target of this trip, the battered and battered Ishimura.

————————————————————

After finding a bunch of witnesses, Oregana boarded the Ishimura with her guards.

When she walked into the bridge, she immediately noticed a sharp look - not from the captain, but from a red-haired woman.

She was wearing a battle suit but it was not buttoned up, and the tights inside highlighted her leopard-like figure.It's not steel like Liulizi...the beautiful and elegant body curves, but it has a kind of compactness and aggressiveness like a wild animal.Even wearing a battle suit, it can be seen that the shoulders and arms are quite strong, and the hair is also picked up very short, just like a man.

Oregana remembered this person. She was Alisa Vincent, the chief security officer on the Ishimura, and a very good soldier.In the original work, the Ishimura was infected with necromorphs after accepting the seal of the gods. This person has been dedicated to his duty to save the ship and everyone on board.But because of her lack of awareness and understanding of necromorphs and God Seals, she prevented Dr. Kane from trying to let the Ishimura fall to the Aegis VII to end everything, which led to even greater tragedies afterwards.And at her last moment, she cleared all the necromorphs on the entire flight deck by opening the airlock, and successfully sent a signal containing her message, hoping that someone would destroy the infected Ishimura.

Overall, this is a pretty solid soldier, and while she did make serious mistakes, it's not strictly her fault - as always with dead space stories, it's not like you're doing your job It can prevent the tragedy from happening. The tragedy in this story is composed of many reasons. the same.

But now, this reliable soldier seems to be in a very complicated mood. She obviously heard what she just said, and had a lot of conflicts with the captain about the issue of the god seal——On the way, Alisa Vincent watched After reading the recent report of the colony, she directly noticed the change in the violent crime rate after the God Seal was dug out, and thus dissuaded Captain Benjamin Matthews from bringing the God Seal on board.

In the end, he was pissed off, and by the way, the chief engineer wearing glasses on the bridge was pissed off, and he was very angry.

But compared to the conflict with the captain, she obviously had a greater opinion on the outsider who had just beaten the Ishimura to pieces—mainly because of her duties.And now this group of people boarded the ship generously, which made Alisa Vincent even more uncomfortable.

Oregana understood this, but she didn't want to say unnecessary words to spoil the atmosphere she had created with great difficulty. Although she hoped that the soldiers who were loyal to their duties would receive the treatment they deserved, but that was not now.The legion commander tucked his helmet under his armpit, and made heavy footsteps on the metal floor of the bridge with every step—that was the technique of making use of the attraction of the magnetic boots to skillfully create the sound of heavy footsteps. Especially useful for construction.

She looked at the white-haired middle-aged and elderly people standing next to the large projector in the center of the bridge.This person has a high hairline and a thin layer of hair. He seems to work very hard at ordinary times, and there is also a firm color that a captain should have between his brows. Only when he looks at himself, his eyes reveal It was anger and fear that were not well hidden.

"Are you the captain?"

"Yes……"

Oregana walked around the command desk and sat on the captain's seat. The meaning of this action was very clear, that was to imply to everyone that she was in charge now, and even the captain could only Can stand next to:

"Tell me. What's going on here? What are you doing here?"

Everyone looked at the captain, he couldn't lie.These people all know that if the captain doesn't cooperate, it is estimated that the two little monsters will be put into the ship later - this person in front of him obviously does not belong to the United Earth Government, no matter if she is a rebel or some extraterrestrial life form She will not hesitate to destroy the Ishimura, she will not take into account the important position of the Ishimura in the history of human space.What's more, Ishimura was the first to strike, and she was even on the right side.

Benjamin Matthews raised his head and said honestly:

"We're here to recover artifacts and crack this planet."

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed, and the witnesses in the colony immediately turned angry after half a second of bewilderment.And Abham Newman pressed a few steps closer, showing an angry and fierce expression:

"What? I haven't heard of the latter incident!" He stared at Captain Benjamin, "What about the rest of the planet! We're all on the ground!"

What will happen to the colony after the cracking of the planet?Not to mention the people in the colonies.

"..."

In this regard, Captain Benjamin remained silent. He subconsciously showed a look of "Is this still a question?" which angered Abbaham Newman all of a sudden.

I thought about retreating to the Ishimura before.Well, these guys really want to silence them!

He felt the blood rushing to his head, and without thinking too much, he grabbed Captain Benjamin's lapel, pressed him against the railing next to the command desk, and yelled:

"Talk! You son of a bitch! Have we seen something we shouldn't have seen? Huh? Because we've seen Unification artifacts turn people into monsters, don't you! You don't want this The secret is known by the world, right!!"

"I do not know either……"

Captain Benjamin is not young, and how can the person on the bridge have the physical fitness of a villain among all villains—the captain of the security of the illegal colony?His face was flushed, he scratched with both hands, and said stumblingly:

"I only...received orders...others...don't know at all..."

Seeing this scene, everyone else on the bridge looked away, only Alyssa Vincent frowned.Subconsciously, she wanted to step forward to pull this angry 'witness' away, but just as she took a step, someone blocked her.

It was a marine from Tartarus, and although there were ridiculous creature decorations on his head, the dissuasion in those red eyes was as firm as a steel gate.If she insisted on asking for a thousand, then she would definitely get rough with her.

Even though Alisa Vincent knew that her body had been tempered and ordinary people would never be able to defeat her, but fighting a person wearing a full set of power armor was a very unwise move.If I questioned the odds of betting on that fingernail, the whole situation would probably get out of control immediately.So she had no choice but to choose to back down.

On the other side, Oregana saw that the time was almost up, so she spoke:

"Calm down, Mr. Abham Newman. We know you're angry, but anger won't solve the problem."

After Abham Newman heard this sentence, he continued to pinch for a few seconds before making a cold snort, pushed hard with both hands, stepped back a few steps, and straightened his wrinkled body with a displeased expression. clothing.

Just halfway through the pinch, Abbaham Newman suddenly realized whether he was being used by this legion commander to give Captain Benjamin a blow.It happened that I had to vent my anger, so I simply cooperated actively.Now judging from the expression of the legion commander, he seems to be doing quite well.Just now, Abham Newman saw from the corner of his eye that the army commander's subordinates had suppressed the ship's security captain, and the others also showed obedience. She had completely controlled the situation.

There is an old saying in the Pan-Asian region that kills chickens to frighten monkeys.Just now Captain Benjamin was the chicken, the other crew members of the Ishimura were the monkeys, and she was the fully automatic knife—she just sat there and everything was done.

What a great way.

Now she made a leisurely attitude and said:

"In order to show etiquette, if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask first, but then you have to answer our questions carefully, okay?"

Instead of pressing every step of the way, but first make some formal concessions to relax the other party's mental tension a little, which will be of great benefit to the subsequent conversation.As for what questions the other party will ask...

"Tartaros... Is he a member of the rebel army? Or a member of the Earth government?"

As soon as this question was uttered, Liu Lizi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips—the boss guessed it right.

"We don't belong to any organization you know, Captain." Oregana replied, "We come from another world, and we just arrived in this world less than two hours ago."

"another world?"

"That's right, another world. It's a bit similar to the concept of a parallel world, but it's not exactly the same. Can you understand that? Stories like that should have been popular in this world, right? After being hit by a spaceship, they bounced to a different world." The world, there are different technologies or civilizations over there, comics, movies, etc., how many will there be? It is unexpectedly simple to connect the two worlds. The world is like a floating island floating in the sea Generally slow movement, sometimes the two worlds will be quite close, almost converging, and sometimes they will become far away, but if you have enough technology, you can move back and forth between the different worlds artificially."

Before she could react, her expression changed:

"Some bastards preached and abducted children on our side. Thousands of people disappeared in two years. We tracked it all the way to investigate this matter. The preacher called himself the Unification Church and used this badge—just the same as the following Something in the colony is similar...do you have anything to say?"

But hearing this, including the 'witness', everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.This is not the appearance of being fooled by the information bomb, but after extracting some keywords and finding that they don't match, I was stunned.

"Two years...the Stone Village just came here, and only received the information about the unearthed seal of God last week."

"This colony only started operating two and a half years ago..."

"It was normal here two years ago."

Eh... that's really weird.

This is what Oregana expected before, and it is different from the "original work" - that is, someone has already been in contact with the seal from the beginning, and it was discovered that it was not just a week.For a long time in the past, someone on Aegis [-] should have been experimenting with the 'sacrifices' sent over, and only then did the room full of tentacles come out.And the results of the research must have already been passed on to the United Earth Government. At this moment, there should be a phased result of the research, so the Ishimura was sent to recover it.

But everyone's reaction was the same as in the original.

There was nothing that was discovered in advance. Captain Benjamin was also following orders. He didn't even know anything about necromorphs. He only knew that [this thing must be brought back to Earth].If you really know the information about the necromorph after research, and if you want to bring the God Seal back to Earth at this time, then it is impossible not to make it clear to the 'delivery man'.

This is not a matter of leaking secrets or not, but if you don't explain the characteristics of the seal of God clearly and don't have enough protective measures, then you won't be able to send this thing back to Earth—maybe it hasn't traveled a light-year away, There was no one on board who could answer the phone.

So what's the problem...

"No..." At this moment, a brunette woman among the witnesses whispered, "It definitely wasn't something that happened this week."

"you are?"

"I'm Jenna Harrison from the Colonial Survey Team, ma'am!" She puffed out her chest subconsciously. "A week ago, I led someone to discover the divine seal, but there are some unexplainable circumstances there!"

Oregana's eyes widened - she hadn't even thought that the person involved would survive.The closer the person is to the God Seal, the longer the contact time is, the easier it is to be mentally polluted and go crazy. Judging by common sense, the person who first discovered the God Seal must be the one who has been in contact the longest.

She became interested and asked:

"Tell me? What did you find?"

Jenna Harrison took a few deep breaths and said loudly:

"When the Seal of God was discovered, it was in the open air. It was in a very strange canyon. There were traces of chemical erosion on the rock wall, which could not be formed naturally on the planet Aegis VII. Besides, the nearby There are a large number of cutting marks at 45 degrees to the ground on the rock wall, very similar to the marks left by the E-34 cutter."

Before she finished speaking, an engineer on the Ishimura immediately raised an objection—technical personnel raised objections in terms of professional knowledge, basically regardless of the status and occasion:

"But the E-34 cutter was not used 150 years ago, are you sure you are right? Miss Harrison? If true, does that mean that humans were on this planet 150 years ago, or , you are still secretly mining with old equipment from a century and a half ago?"

"My professional knowledge will not make this kind of mistake, sir." Jenna Harrison was very impatient for this kind of doubt-as a miner who has been working for decades, she can't see anyone in her professional field Pointing fingers at myself "I reported it to the admin at the time and said someone must be messing around behind the scenes, but he didn't care."

Wait...

The administrator of Aegis VII is a Unification Church believer, and the earth has not received any reports about necromorphs, so Ishimura knows nothing about it.However, the miners reported that there were abnormal traces in the cultural relics department and suspected that someone was behind the scenes. The administrator who should have been furious at this desecration of the holy relics "didn't care at all", and didn't even conduct a follow-up investigation. ...

"Under what circumstances did you go there? Did you just survey there?"

"Well, it happened to be surveyed there." Jenna Harrison nodded, and she said as she recalled, "Because the mine tunnel dug before unexpectedly collapsed and the construction could not continue, a strange energy was discovered when the mine was re-explored." Reaction. We found that thing when we followed it."

The timing of this collapse is too coincidental...

While Oregana was deep in thought, all the lights in the bridge were extinguished, even the operating platform and the entire projection went black in an instant.

"?!"

"??"

Two seconds later, the system windows reappeared one after the other, and the lights came back on.

The captain's eyes flickered, he reversed his previous depression, and opened his throat and shouted loudly:

"CIC, what happened! Damage control! Is the fire spreading?"

In the firefight just now, even though the control was very clever, an attack is an attack. The equipment damage caused by the explosion, and the energy leakage caused damage inside the hull. Until now, the damage control personnel have been fighting around inside the hull.Captain Benjamin's first reaction was whether the damage could not be controlled. After all, all the gravity cables were blown up. The energy surge at that time was quite terrifying, and even the power furnace suffered a certain degree of damage.

If there is something wrong with the power furnace, it is almost time to run away, otherwise the whole ship will be blown to death here even with these different worlds (the authenticity is unknown)--the engine that can disintegrate the planet will blow up. Pretty gorgeous.

But the damage control personnel said that was not the case at all——

[No, Captain!We've got the energy leak under control!The power furnace was functioning normally and there was no fire at all.But just now all the devices restarted suddenly! 】

And the technician wearing glasses just now fluttered his hands on the keyboard, turned around and said seriously:

"Captain, it's interference!"

"Interference? We are the only ones here, and there is that deserted planet below. Who will interfere with us?" Captain Benjamin's eyes widened, and he looked back at Oregana. "Is it yours?"

"How is it possible." She shook her head and opened the communication, "Z sauce, what's going on?"

Thousands of kilometers away, the shield of the Sudden Death flickered slightly twice, and the electric arc on the surface jumped continuously, and it took a few seconds for it to return to calm. Z sauce's face appeared in the communication window——

[It’s excess electromagnetic feedback, and it’s happening at… right below you.Suddenly, the Eternal Death was also hit, but failed to break through the shield. ] She said, and also sent over a scan map of the planet, a spot of light is constantly flashing on it [it is at this position. 】

"what!"

Upon seeing the map and the dots of light, miner Jenna Harrison immediately let out an exclamation:

"That's where we found the cultural relics! But we moved the god seal away, and there is nothing there now! Why..."
