——AD.2156.6.4——

The Zion system.

It's a strange galaxy of just one star, one planet, and one asteroid belt, and it's more than a hundred times more than a hundred times from any nearby star, and the already not-so-bright, orange-yellow spectrum star is completely invisible in the background of the universe.

In other words, without special means of navigation, it would have taken tens of thousands of years to reach this galaxy.

At the edge of this galaxy, a giant silvery-white object shaped like a key floats silently.

A blue streamer was surging from its "keygrip" position, and this light illuminated a large number of nearby spaceships.

Some of them are golden and aesthetically pleasing, while others are green in color and distorted in shape; Some conform to the modern process modeling, but the forced asymmetry makes people angry, and some only want to have complete functions, but they don't consider the shape at all, just like the garbage that is put together.

In addition, there are some strange ships that are perfectly round, oblate, acutely angled, and even elongated like street lamps, and some spaceships that are shaped like paper clips do not even leave room for the operator at all.

They wandered aimlessly around the giant key, but never looked away.

Zizizi-buzz-

The blue light of the "key grip" suddenly shone brightly, and continued to project blue lightning bolts around it, although there is no sound to transmit in space, any intelligent creature that sees this scene will make up its sound effect in its own brain.

The originally scattered cluster of ships paused slightly, and scattered around a certain location.

Squeak - squeak!

With the last surge of blue light, the slender and silvery Normandy suddenly appeared in the cleared airspace.

"Well done, mouse." Morpheus complimented through the intercom.

"[Just 'good'? The mouse didn't seem to be satisfied with this assessment: "[Ordinary ships will have an error of 5,000 to 10,000 meters after passing through the 'Mass Effect Channel', and the distance between me and the destination this time is only 1,500 meters, this is not called 'NoBad', this is called 'Amazing.'] 】”

"Mouse, you're in a bunker." Anderson, who was watching the cab from the sidelines, complimented.

"Hehe, Neo, you don't know, I was-"

"[This is the Zion Garrison Fleet, I'm Commander Niobe, please enter the ship for inspection. 】”

Contact from the outside interrupts the mouse's boasting.

"[This is the Zion Survey Fleet, I'm Captain Morpheus, and I've turned off the power pending inspection. Morpheus responded.

"Check...... What the? Anderson didn't quite understand: "If you put on the key, isn't it okay?" ”

"Prevent the ship itself from being attached to something that is used for positioning," the mouse turned off all power on the bridge, "and in addition, whether there is a possibility of betrayal by the crew must also be evaluated." ”

"Oh...... For example, 'password' is it? Anderson remembered the hapless bald head: "What punishment will he receive?" ”

"I'm going to cut off all internet connections and send them to some parts of Zion to work as laborers, I don't know the specifics," the mouse shrugged and suddenly looked at Anderson, "But do you have time to worry about others?" Mr. 'Savior'? ”

"Uh......" Anderson was speechless for a while, the series of behaviors he has made since his "awakening" are impossible for outsiders who have not experienced it to believe, especially this "savior" identity, and I don't know how many people in Zion will recognize it.

Anderson was thinking about it, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a large shadow pouring out of the porthole, and when he looked closely, he was shocked to find that it was a huge, like some kind of deep-sea fish, approaching the Normandy, and the huge black void at the front of it made Anderson unconsciously tremble.

"That's 'Leviathan', and people in other cultural circles call it 'Kun', although it looks scary, it's just a transport ship, and its next behavior is just a routine 'disinfection', so don't be afraid." Noticing that Anderson's face was different, the mouse glanced back and said indifferently.

"I'm not, not afraid, just a little bit of deep-sea phobia......" Anderson watched the giant ship slowly but resolutely swallow towards the Normandy, and with the firm will of the savior he did not blink, until the familiar mechanism was revealed outside the porthole due to the Normandy lights, and Anderson quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Click.

The sound of connection and opening of the landing passage near the cockpit was followed by a group of armed men in uniforms very different from those of the Normandy crew.

The leader was a black woman with a grim expression, her whole body was full of business, and she only glanced at the surrounding staff and went straight to Morpheus in front of the star map table.

"Captain Morpheus, the Council is very unhappy about the betrayal of your senior crew, and after his interrogation and sentencing, you may be questioned, so you had better think about what to say." The black woman's voice was as capable as her own.

Although she was speaking to Morpheus, Anderson inexplicably felt as if she was glancing at herself.

Perhaps, there are not too many people who believe in saviors and prophecies? Is she suggesting that Morpheus not talk about herself?

"Rest assured, Commander Naobi, I won't have anything to hide or hide." Morpheus replied decently, not knowing if he understood.

Naobi nodded, and said nothing else, waving her hand to signal the men she had brought with her to get to work.

The armed men walked straight to the cabin where the code was kept, while the other civilians began to copy and record all non-private records in Normandy, with Trinity, the lieutenant, and Link, who was in charge of liaison, cooperating with each other.

"Hmm...... She just mentioned 'Parliament'? Anderson, who had nothing to do, accosted the mouse who also had nothing to do.

"Ah, yes, Zion is governed by thirteen councillors and the speaker who is not one of the councillors," the mouse replied, "Regular matters are decided by the votes of thirteen councillors, and the speaker cannot vote, but has the right to submit bills and veto the results of bills." ”

"Only the right of veto?"

"Of course, the speaker can only veto, not force a bill, and if the members are dissatisfied with him, they propose a bill to remove the speaker and pass it, he cannot veto."

"Hmm...... What is the name of the current Speaker? Anderson thought back to the system he knew, and felt that the speaker was a little inferior.

"Don't worry, as far as I know, he's more inclined to believe in prophecy and saviors," the mouse patted Anderson on the shoulder, "His name is Hackett." ”
