Chapter 1031: Contact of the Third Kind
Under Leander's guidance, the Normandy dragged the broken hull slowly through the asteroid belt.
And in the process, Shepard also completely overturned his previous conjecture.
This is definitely not a civilization within this galaxy!
Although Shepard is not a professional scientific researcher, she also knows very well that almost all civilizations in the galaxy, including humans, Serarius, Alyssa, and Turui, have technology from the ancient civilization Prothean in their technology, which is why humans can build the Normandy together with Turui. Strictly speaking, the technological gap between these civilizations can be seen as who has dug deeper into the civilization of Prosian, understood it more thoroughly, and obtained more Prosian relics.
However, although there are certain differences between several civilizations, their basic principles and essence are still similar.
But these ships were completely different, and the engines, fuel, and everything they used were something Shepard had never seen before.
And when Normandy and his party crossed the asteroid belt and came to the interior of the wandering galaxy, they were stunned when they saw Nesin Memories sunbathing next to the sun.
You must know that in the galaxy, the largest and most impressive is the giant deep-space space stationβββ Citadel. It is the core of the entire galaxy, and countless races have come to explore and inhabit the Citadel. However, even the Divine Citadel is only 44 kilometers long, but the Memories of Nesin in front of you is 80 kilometers long.
This can be said to be the largest battleship that Shepard and the others have ever seen!
"Look!"
However, what was even more shocking was still to come, just when everyone came to the side of Nesin Memories, dozens of flying dragons flapped their wings and surrounded the battleship, watching the battleship curiously. However, looking at these creatures flying around next to their warship, Shepard and the others opened their mouths and couldn't speakβββ not to mention how these things looked so much like the flying dragons in the legends of the earth's civilization, and more importantly, ......... How do they survive in a vacuum?
As a ghost agent of the Citadel, Shepard is also a battle-hardened agent, and she is not even afraid of a terrifying alien machine like the Overlord. But even so, Shepard had never seen what kind of life form could survive in space without wearing any protection!
And they're still flapping their wings......... Wait, there's no air in space, how do you fly?
And the speed is still on par with the Normandy?
The Normandy isn't running at full speed at the moment, but you're creatures!!
Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone in the Normandy couldn't help but want to complain in their hearts, but they could only keep their mouths shut and say nothing. In fact, they have no way to complain about anything, and now everyone realizes that what they are facing is probably an unprecedented civilization.
Soon, under Leander's guidance, the Normandy entered the tarmac of Nesin Memories and came to a steady halt in one of the passages.
ββ¦β¦β¦ Tully, Liana, you and I. β
Shepard thought for a moment, then quickly made a decision.
"Others are standing still......... Joker, you and Garras see if we can fix our ship. β
"Understood, Commander."
Hearing Shepard's order, the two named people also walked out. None of them are human, Tali is a Quarian, a very sad civilization who created the most troublesome AI βββ geth in the galaxy, and after the geth rebelled against the Quarians, the Quarians left their homeland and lived a life of adrift in the galaxy through the wandering fleet.
Due to their fragile immune systems, Quarians have no access to unpurified air and food, so they wear hazmat suits, and they are mechanical experts and quite good people.
Liana, on the other hand, is an Asari who looks like a human, except that she has no hair and blue skin, and is a fairly powerful race with the ability to control abilities. They were all Shepard's companions on her adventures, and they were also the ones who fought alongside her, and they were trusted by Shepard.
This time, Shepard brought them because he needed to look at this group of newcomers from the perspective of various races.
Wait, why only two people? Wouldn't it be better to bring four or five people with you?
Well......... This seems like an interesting question.
"Poof.........
The hatch slowly opened, and Shepard was at the front, while her two companions followed behind Shepard, ready for their first encounter with the civilization.
Shepard stepped out of the cabin.
And then......... She saw a group of bear children surrounding her, looking at them curiously.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Meow Meow Meow ???
Looking at the scene in front of them, Shepard and the other three didn't know what to say, they originally expected that there should be a reliable person to come here to meet them, but ......... What is the situation with these little ones? They don't look like they're even ten years old!
Shepard was so surprised by this scene that she had completely forgotten about her decision to "show human dignity and pride......... You can't play in front of a bunch of kids.
What a shame this is!
"Da Da Da ........."
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, I saw a girl walk out of the crowd and come to Shepard and the others, and then saluted respectfully.
"Hello, I'm Leander........."
"You're the ......... of that battleship just now"
Hearing this voice, Shepard was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it seemed to be her who had guided him and the others into this battleship before. But what Shepard didn't expect was that the girl in front of her was so young, although she was older than the group of children watching next to her, she seemed to be only in her teens, and not only that.........
Shepard looked the blonde girl in front of her up and down, it was completely different from Shepard's imagination, she was not wearing a spacesuit or protective suit, but a white short-sleeved shirt and a bright red skirt, and the lower half of her body was black silk suspenders and small leather shoes.........
What kind of dress is this?
If anyone on Shepard's ship dares to wear such a dress, then Shepard will definitely make the other party doubt his life. Not to mention that the Normandy is a battleship, in fact, even if it is a civilian ship, few people will dress like this, after all, this kind of costume is not suitable for astronautics.
But people like to wear it like this, what can you do?
"Please follow me."
Leander didn't seem to intend to greet Shepard and the others, but just made a gesture and led them towards the inside of the battleship.
While walking, Shepard and the others were also observing the battleship, trying to get some clues.
Well......... There are very few people on the road, and it seems that the automation of this civilization is very high.
Why are most of them children? What I occasionally see is a teenager, and a middle-aged person can't see it, can it be said that the general life expectancy of this civilization is very low? And it's all women, no men......... This is not surprising, after all, the most technologically advanced people in the galaxy, the Serarians have an average lifespan of only fifty years, and the Asari clan have only women and no men......... Understandable, understandable.
Outwardly, they do look a lot like humans, but why do some children have ears and tails? And wings? It doesn't seem like there's a pattern to this, it's a class trait? Or is there some other purpose?
No one has a weapon because they don't need it? Could it be that these people are also like the Asari, and they can't fight with their abilities?
Everyone walked and thought, but when they came to the reception hall and saw the dark dragon in front of them, even the well-informed Shepard was stuck.
What's the situation? Am I in the world of Dungeons & Dragons?
