1017, Alien Colossus (6)
AD.2154.4.12——
Arcturus Space Station Starport, USS Alaska battleship.
Kaos Claude was staring at the starry sky outside the window in a relatively well-equipped single cabin on the ship.
After the transport truck was burned down yesterday, he just squatted down with his head in his hands, waiting to be slapped flat, but in the end he only waited for a slight sigh from Lechtem and a large hand on top of his head.
After that, he was taken away from the Naval Academy, and after a series of security checks, he boarded a battleship of the First Fleet of the Star Federation, and today his adoptive father left after telling him to "don't run around".
In Kaos's perception, it was really just an ordinary cabin, the door was unlocked, there were no guards outside the door, and the footsteps of the non-commissioned officers on the ship could be vaguely heard, and even his universal tools were not forbidden.
So...... [that one] didn't come to slap himself flat, and the human side also seems to think that what they caused is nothing?
Kaos, who couldn't figure out the joints, looked out the window for a while, and then opened the universal tool and began to inquire about what happened at the end of the ceremony, however, with his authority, he could only find out that "the first batch of cadets of the Naval Academy successfully graduated, and the academy said that it would be partially restructured according to the results of teaching" Yunyun, as if the accident had not happened at all.
If you don't plan to make it public, you can only listen to what the military bigwigs have to say about him, Kaos thought as he began to turn his head to look at the cabin.
Of course, the cabin was nothing to look at, and the trajectory of his gaze was actually the trajectory of Lechtem after he left this room, and it was too difficult for a giant warship more than a thousand meters long to find a specific person in it without shaking the sanity of the crew.
Oh, sure enough, it was on the bridge, and the man with him with a beard, wearing a captain's uniform, who seemed to be no longer young, should be the captain of this battleship and the commander of the Second Fleet, Admiral Williams, who was still being formed.
"Little Claude is a good boy......"
As soon as Kaos began to "eavesdrop", he almost slipped and fell when he heard Admiral Williams say this.
“…… It's just that it's still a little reckless and immature. He seemed to appreciate Lechtem's expression before adding.
"You're right." Naturally, Lechterm remained expressionless.
"However, after this incident, I am afraid that the plan for you to let him enroll directly will be postponed for a long time, and the academy for cultivating abnormal soldiers is still being designed." The admiral raised his eyebrows a little boredly and continued.
What's what? Already has an ability in this world? How come I don't know at all? Kaos was amazed,
"You see, even though he was left alone in the cabin for so long, without any restrictions, he didn't even think of sneaking out to explore my battleship, but just looked around curiously, which is enough to show that he was a good soldier by nature and willing to carry out orders." The admiral said again.
There is indeed surveillance here! Kaos froze, and began to imitate a boy who was really interested in the battleship, and at the same time did not relax his eavesdropping on the other side of the bridge.
"So, what do you think of him?" Lechtem asked.
Don't say anything about "processing", doesn't it sound scary?
"Personally, I don't think it's good to let children leave their parents." General Williams spoke again, "So, you're going to continue to fulfill your duties as guardian, especially with his abilities so powerful. ”
Yes, the goal has been achieved, so that I can go to Europa VII.
Before Kaos could start to rejoice, Lechterm poured cold water on him: "I'm sorry, General, but I think it's precisely because I've been ignoring his three views that he made the move of 'directly burning a truck with a possible driver', and I hope he can join the Star Alliance Naval Academy Junior Class and get training as an ordinary teenager with no abilities." ”
Can you stop talking about truck drivers? I've been scared all day! Kaos grabbed his head in his hands and began to roll on the bed.
"Hehehehe-" Admiral Williams was directly amused: "Claude, you see, little Claude can recall the previous accident just because his eyes came into contact with a cargo spaceship, and then he became like this, can you still say that he has a wrong outlook?" ”
You're really talking while watching the surveillance, right? Kaos rolled around two more times, stumbling up and turning on the multi-tool to begin searching for the previous accident.
"You know, because of the secrecy regulations, all information and communications on board the ship have to go through the battleship's main computer," Williams continued, "Do you want me to show you the number of times he inquired about the Naval Academy accidents, graduation ceremonies, air passages, and truck drivers?" Claude? ”
"Not necessarily." Lechtem's voice sounded much softer.
"Hmm...... There are also 'what posture doesn't hurt when you are beaten', 'how to apologize and be easily forgiven'...... Hahaha! The admiral burst out laughing.
Wait, Lechter didn't beat himself, that's for [that]...... No, forget it.
Kaos simply turned off the multi-tool and lay there pretending to sleep.
"Speaking of 'truckers,'" General Williams paused, "she should be assigned to you as well." ”
"Graduates?" Lechtem asked.
"Of course, do you think that kind of strategic goods would hire ordinary drivers from the outside world to deliver them? Not even if it's not very large," General Williams continued, after seeing Rechtem shake his head, "This cadet named Eva Gore jumped out of the car when the truck crashed through the air passage, successfully hung himself on the outer wall of the passage for several hours and held out until our rescue arrived, you will not refuse this skill." ”
"That's true." Lechthem nodded in response.
"So, finally," General Williams seemed to reach out and swipe a few times on the surveillance in front of him, "you adopted Claude Jr. at the Singapore International Airport in 2151, right?" ”
"Yes?" Lechtem didn't quite understand what the general meant by his sudden change of subject.
"Remember? [The First Element Zero Leak] that year," General Williams said clearly, and then continued with some wistfulness: "So, you can't blame Little Claude for overreacting to the fact that a truck carrying Element Zero was about to capsize and leak. ”
Lechtem fell silent and did not respond.
"The opinion of the relevant departments of the Star Federation on this matter is that you will establish an Alien Research Academy on Europa VII Colony Star, and the first batch of students will be mainly Claude Jr. and a small number of other children who awakened their abilities in that accident, and after a few years, the babies who show obvious signs of alien awakening will also grow to the age of admission, and then, according to the specific research results, it will be decided whether to officially merge into the Naval Academy, so, what do you think?" After General Williams said this, he paused and waited for his response.
"Yes, sir."
Eventually, Lechtem responded.
