Earth Forty-Two (formerly), a suburb of Fuyang City, Anhui Province, Cobra's former enemy headquarters

Three hours ago, Aegis's last important stronghold in China was captured by Cobra, and the front-line commander of Cobra, Baroness (The_Baroness), was directing troops to clean up the battlefield and hunt down "thieves" (senior A.R.I. officials)

Baroness: "Has the "thief" (Dent) been found?"

Adjutant: "Not yet, [White Ghost] (Storm_Shadow) and [Firefly] are leading the team to intensify the search. ”

Baroness: "Tell them that even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will find out the "thief head". To live to see people, to die to see corpses. ”

Adjutant: "Yes... Sir, the White Ghost reports that they have found the "Thief Leader". "—Return

Baroness: "Alive, dead?"

Adjutant: "Dead." ”

Baroness: "How did you die?"

Adjutant: "Looks like suicide." ”

Baroness: "What do you mean by 'as if it were'?"

Adjutant: "[White Ghost] reports that he led a team to find the bodies of the Thief Leader and three of his men in a giant machine beneath the 'Olypis', and it is not yet known whether they died by suicide or accident. ”

Baroness: "Tell [White Ghost] to protect the scene, I'll go and check it out myself." ”

◆

Two hours later, "Olypis" went underground

Baroness: "(looking at the behemoth in front of him)..."The first generation of strategic time weapons"?"

White Ghost: "That's how the captives were recruited, and the captured intelligence has also been confirmed." ”

Firefly: "..."—Presenting the R&D materials and the captive's confession to the Baroness]

Baroness: "(Take, look at them one by one)... Where's the captive?"

White Ghost: "..."—gestured to his subordinates

Cobra Soldier A/B: "..."—dragged a "white coat" over

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "Don't kill me, I'm just a scientist. Don't kill me..."—kept shouting

Baroness: "(Simultaneous translator on)... Don't be afraid, I'm here to ask you, not to kill you. "- Converted into Russian, calming the emotions of the captives

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "Really don't kill me?"

Baroness (Russian): "As long as you tell the truth, I won't let them kill you." ”

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "I'm telling the truth, and you have to believe me. ”

Baroness (Russian): "It's all the truth ... Is this really a time machine?" - asks for information that has been confirmed through other channels

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "Really, I made it by myself, I don't believe you can look it up!"

Baroness (Russian): "(Carefully observe [Dr. Selinsky] to determine the baseline expression)..."The head of thieves knows that he is going to lose, so he wants to cheat and travel back in time with his three henchmen, only to die in the time machine?" - retelling [Dr. Selinsky]'s confession, noting his "micro-expressions"

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "Yes, I repeatedly told him that 'the machine is not ready,' that it is not tested,' that it does not even know if it will work,' but he does not listen to it, and he prefers to do it..."

White Ghost: "Hmph, is there any other way out for him than to be brute force?" - disdain

Firefly: "Compared to falling into our hands, now this fate is cheaper for him." ”

Baroness (Russian): "(Sees that [Dr. Selinsky] is deliberately diversionary)... Did he succeed?"

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "Huh?" - Leng

Baroness (Russian): "Did the "thief head" succeed?" - repeat the question

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "He's dead. —the answer was not asked

Baroness (Russian): "What I'm asking is whether the 'thief's head' has been successfully pierced!?"

White Ghost: "Soul Piercing..."—Realizing that he was overlooked

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "(Fear)... Theoretically... Maybe... It worked. "—Stumble

Firefly: "What did you say!?" - immediately annoyed

Baroness: "(Stop the fireflies from going berserk)... We still need him... (to Dr. Selinsky) What point in time did the "thief head" travel through?"

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "Uh..."

Firefly: "Speak quickly!"

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "Please, stop using a time machine, no one knows what serious consequences will be caused by disrupting the continuity of time and space!" - pleading

Firefly: "Don't say it, do you?"

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "Don't!!" — slumped on the ground in fright

Firefly: "Hey, plant one." - disdain, disdain

Baroness (Russian): "The thief has already crossed successfully, and he has not seen any bad effects on the world, so maybe nothing has happened." You're too worried. —Relief

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "It's not that I'm worrying about it, time travel can't be without incident, and disrupting the continuity of time and space will definitely have an impact on the world. It's just that there are few people crossing now, and the "critical point" has not been broken, and the impact has not been revealed. ”

Baroness (Russian): "Oh? Do you know where this "tipping point" is?"

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "I..."

Baroness (Russian): "It seems you don't know. ”

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "But there is definitely a tipping point. ”

Baroness (Russian): "I don't deny the existence of the tipping point, but I don't think the world is so fragile that it can be completely destroyed by two blows from your machine. ”

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "This..."

Baroness (Russian): "Let me ask you one last time, at what point in time did the "thief head" travel through?"

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "March 6, 2012..."

Baroness (Russian): "February 14 of the year of Imchen. "—Pick up the stubble

Dr. Selinsky (Russian): "Yes, you calculate so fast. "—surprised

Baroness: "The fifteenth day of the second month of the year of Imchen is the day of the rebirth of the leader... Contact the Serpent's Lair (base camp) and I'm going to report it to the leader personally!"

◆

Ten minutes later, in the communication room, the [Baroness] reported the situation in detail to the [Cobra Commander]

Cobra Commander (Snake Lair Line): "That's it..."—long in thought

Baroness: "Leader?"

Cobra Commander (Snake Nest Line): "It's going to rain, and the mother is going to get married, so let him go." ”

Baroness: "How can he go!?" The "thief leader" is clearly going back in time to assassinate you!!"

Cobra Commander (Snake Nest): "So what? Kill me, and he will change the course of history? This is not in line with historical materialism. History does not change because of the sacrifices of individual people, it only corrects itself. Without me, there will naturally be others who will lead everyone to overthrow the rule of "Aegis", and the success does not have to be me. ”

Baroness: "But..."

Cobra Commander (Snake Lair Line): "Needless to say, traveling back in time is a sign of weakness. The strong face the problem, deal with the problem, and think about how to solve the problem, the weak, avoid the problem, avoid the problem, and only think about how to solve the person who asks the problem... (sighs) After fighting with me for so long, he still hasn't grown. - cut off communications

Baroness: "Fools, fools, big fools... If only I had known you sooner, a big fool. —Walk out of the communications room

Adjutant: "(Immediately greeted)... What instructions does the leader have?"

Baroness: "... Pursue. —squeezed a word out of his teeth
