StarCraft: Tyranid Empire

"Communication code α4-4-7-6, Galaxy Jumper No. 77, please dock at Pier 11 of Port A. All personnel have been cleared. This is Turasis II New Babylon Space Station, salute to the soldiers."

A small spacecraft landed in the slowly rotating top port of the space station. When the ramp of the spaceship opened, Augustus, who was wearing a brown officer's uniform, stepped off the spacecraft, followed only by Jim Reynolds, who was wearing a soldier's uniform.

The circulating air in the space station was abnormally dry, and artificial gravity equivalent to 0.95 times standard gravity held Augustus tightly. There are several small and medium-sized interstellar spacecraft parked on the empty parking platform of Port A. The graceful streamlined curves of these spacecraft and obvious signs of personal modification highlight the identity of their owners.

A port bus suspended above the ground picked up Augustus and Renault, and drove them to another dock.

Along the way, Augustus saw many staff and patrolling soldiers. Everyone here was so busy that they didn't even have time to stop and say hello. When looking outside, Augustus could see the deep black starry sky and a satellite in the distance. He was curious about the technology of how to prevent air and maintain stable air pressure in this situation.

When Augustus saw his brother Arcturus Mengsk, who had announced his retirement, the latter was lying under the belly of a medium-sized galaxy hopper, wearing thick coarse cloth insulating gloves to tidy up the messy hair. Various colored wires.

Arcturus is no longer wearing his stiff officer uniform with large bronze epaulettes. Instead, he wears a standard mine worker uniform-thick textile trousers, orange trousers with many pockets. jacket and a pair of sturdy, reliable boots, and a giant power wrench strapped to his waist.

Several men dressed like Arcturus were busy maneuvering a sixteen-foot-tall space construction construction vehicle into the galaxy hopper's cargo bay.

"Augustus, before I leave, it's great to see you." Arcturus heard the voice of Augustus and Renault talking, and when he was about to get up, he knocked his head against the metal floor of the spacecraft.

Augustus and Renault grabbed Arcturus's feet and dragged him out from under the spacecraft. He sat down next to his brother and said, "Why are you doing this kind of work? Professional mechanics are no better than you." How much?”

"That costs a lot of money." Arcturus sat up, wiped the oil on his clothes and wanted to hug his brother - but Augustus pushed him away, and his brother's face suddenly showed sadness. look.

"Buying equipment and spaceships, hiring technical experts, workers and even security forces to deal with the Kaimorian pirates requires a lot of money. I have saved money for more than ten years just to be able to do a big job in the mining area." "Everything has to be done carefully and make sure every dollar is spent in the right place," Akturs said.

"You will succeed. My brother Arcturus Mengsk will become a great man." Augustus said.

Arcturus couldn't help but smile. He didn't care much about the praise from most people in this world, because he thought it was what he deserved. Only the praise of his parents and the admiration of his younger siblings can make Arcturus proud. The blood-blooded affection between family members always makes a lonely person like him feel warm.

At this time, Arcturus was already twenty-eight years old, and Augustus could already see some white hair on his head, but it was far from as much white hair as their father Angus. Arcturus looks more and more like Angus. He has grown into a mature man, and that may be what Augustus will look like ten years later.

But Augustus didn't think so. He was still very young, but he had never imagined what he would be like in the future. Compared to Arcturus, Augustus looks more like his mother and more handsome. He may not become a bearded uncle in the future.

"Do you really think I can succeed?" Arcturus said with a smile: "Except for a few old subordinates who have followed me since I was a non-commissioned officer, no one understands me. So I told them that I have Disgusted with war and no longer believing in the meaning of what we once fought for.”

"I can invest in your team. In the future, if you discover any Adien crystal deposits that are so huge that you won't be able to spend them all in your lifetime, just give me a little bit of it," Augustus said.

"Haha, although I am very confident in my surveying skills and intuition, such mineral deposits are rare, and my luck will never be that good." Arcturus laughed even louder: "I know you just want to find an excuse to share the pressure with me, but I have watched you grow up. Don't I know that you have no habit of saving money at all?"

"Every time you buy a ceramic piggy bank with more than ten credit coins and swear to save it for a year before opening it, but as soon as you put a few dollars in it, you smash the piggy bank again the next day, I don't care. I know what you are planning."

"I have about 20 million credit coins in my hand now." Augustus said: "I know your account number. There is no need to refuse, because I won't listen."

"What trouble did you get into? Where did you get so much money?" Arcturus suddenly grabbed the clothes on Augustus' chest and shook him back and forth: "Crime? Don't hide it from me. If the sky falls, I will bear it. .”

"Could it be that my mother gave it to me? This is possible, but my mother stopped giving me money after I became an adult."

"Not counting what mom gave me, I have so much." Augustus, who was being swayed around by his brother, had a hopeless expression on his face: "You know, my devil in heaven can actually be counted as one." It is an independent organization. Compared with other regular army units, we are more free and flexible. My unit has taken over many Camorian bases and made a lot of money."

"Well done. If I hadn't been the division commander, I would have led the frontline troops to harvest the spoils of war. Many people are extremely rich. Take what you can. There is no need to leave it to those in the military system and let it go. They are greedy." Arcturus said: "But this is risky, and you must be careful. If something goes wrong, Warfield and others will help you solve it. More than half of the entire 33rd Ground Assault Division The officers are covering you."

"During the war, there were many systems in the army that could be exploited. I have carefully studied it, and one of the loopholes is that only trophies that are entered into the database are considered materials that must not be stolen in the army. So, what are we doing? Just report a few things, but sooner or later they will wake up," Augustus said.

"But I won't be able to stay in the army for long. When I leave, let those stingy people jump around."

"Is that guy Angus forcing you to go home? Ignore him, he is just a selfish man." Arcturus' thick eyebrows frowned.

"It seems that you don't know what will happen to Korhal IV at all. Angus said that an independence referendum will be held in April next year to declare that the entire planet will be separated from the rule of the federal government." Augustus said seriously: " Do you know what that means?"

Arcturus almost said the word through gritted teeth.

"war."

"At that time, I will definitely return to Keha, because mother and Dorothy need me, you" Augustus hesitated to say.

"No, I once vowed to break away from Angus's control. I spurn this meaningless revolution that is bound to fail." Arcturus said: "Thousands of people will be killed because of Angus's control." He died for the revolution, and the autocratic patriarch of the big family would only say that it was a necessary sacrifice.”

"No, I won't go back."

"no way."

"If, one day, I need your help." Augustus lowered his eyes and asked softly.

"My brother, will you come back to me?"
