Chapter 0566 - All of them are talents*★,°*:. ( ̄▽ ̄)/$:*.°★* 。
"Hurry up! Send someone to take her to a cell and lock her up! ”
"And, Annie! You did a really nice job today, how the hell did you catch her intact?! ”
As the landing craft had just been towed from the UT-47 landing craft to the hangar of Normandy No. 2 with a woman trapped on the ground by electromagnetic restraints, Shepard had time to praise the amazing little Annie who had done a great job.
Fortunately, they didn't refuse the little guy's request to follow the team to Mars to 'play', otherwise, maybe this Cerberus agent would have run away this time!
"Actually, there's nothing special, she just fired a shot from afar, and it's still a very casual kind of ......"
On this mission to explore the Martian base, James basically didn't do anything!
Playing soy sauce throughout the whole process, standing guard, and chatting with little girls to watch each other picnic on Mars, he flung his rifle to the device of the Mass Effect armor behind him and buckled it, while he was a little sullen and preemptively explained this sentence.
At that time, when Shepard sent a message for the little girl next to him to prepare to contain some enemy running out of the base, he James himself heard it...... But when he was energetic and ready to show his skills to intercept the enemy, this little guy, who was sitting on the hood of the landing craft and was eating at a picnic, fired a shot from a distance with one hand!
And then......
And then there was nothing else......
At that moment, as soon as the gunfire fell, a certain back figure that jumped out of the passage on the top floor of the base and ran fast in the low gravity and low pressure environment of Mars fell directly in response...... You know, at that time, he James didn't even have time to open the safety of the weapon and take aim, and the other party was easily knocked down!
Therefore, this mission hit James very hard!
He felt that after comparing with some people, he himself seemed to have changed from an excellent elite soldier of the Star Alliance to the same as those recruits in the logistics department sequence who would only stand guard and be on duty?
"A shot?"
"But, with a gun, how can you subdue her?"
Hearing James's words, Shepard listened in a fog...... She also thought that this little guy was using that kind of 'magic' means that she couldn't understand to catch this fierce Cerberus female agent who had been restrained, but still did not admit defeat, and still stared at her with that kind of eyes without the slightest emotion!
But......
If it was the same as James said, he subdued the other party with a gun, why didn't she notice the slightest scar on the other party's body? If you can't penetrate the Mass Effect shield, it will only stumble the opponent at most! But if the shield is broken, even if the guy in front of him doesn't die, he will definitely be injured or have an extreme situation like broken hands and feet!
But look at it now, under the shot of Little Annie's large-caliber rifle, the other party was not even injured in his muscles, and there was no trace of his armor being hit, how did she do it?
"Don't guess, that's actually the Ghost Rifle's locking round!"
( ̄▽ ̄)~*
Anne jumped directly from the cabin of the landing craft to the deck of Normandy II empty-handed, and then pouted and spoke.
Now she suddenly feels that Mars doesn't seem to be very fun, that kind of gray broken planet, there is nothing to look at at all! Moreover, the atmosphere was dry, devoid of vegetation and life, and the strange wind that blew all day long was full of sand and dirty sand in her beautiful blonde hair......
Anyway, it's not a good place to play, and she won't be there next time.
"Lock-on, what's that?"
Shepard seemed to have seen such an obscure name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Locking bullets......"
"It seems to be a technology left over from some unlucky federation that was robbed by Mengsk in the past, and with just one shot, it can make a small mechanical unit lose all its mobility, just like this unlucky bad guy!"
(o´ω`o)ノ
Anne pointed to the captive lying on the ground, unable to move anything except his eyes. As long as it's hit by a lock-on bullet, it's basically the same as the opponent's appearance, and it's the exclusive ammunition for the ghost agent's weapon, which is used to deal with mechanical units or hunt down certain bad guys.
"Federal ...... Lock-on bullets? ”
After the little one's reminder, Shepard finally remembered where she had seen the weapon description, but she still felt a little confused......
"Oops! In the case of the Federation, it was a country called the Tyranid Federation, and then they were overthrown by that villain in Mengsk, and then I went to overthrow that villain in Mengsk, and that's how it went! ”
"Didn't that stupid Galen give you a lot of weapons, haven't you even looked at them carefully?!"
o(≧ mouth ≦)o.
Thinking that the other party couldn't tell the difference between the Tyranid Federation and her Hero Federation, Anne had to explain it once again with some madness.
As for the weapons, she did know that in the armory and cargo compartment of this shuttle docking area on Normandy 2, there were a lot of weapons and several sets of CMC power armor that her hero the Federal Army had given to Shepard!
Among them, there are the 25mm C-10 shotgun rifle and the C-20A modified rifle used by the ghost agents, as well as all the various ammunition that come with them.
It can be said that in addition to the expensive ghost suit suitable for the opponent's ability to use, all kinds of reliable individual equipment suitable for human use in the Kphoru Star Zone can be found in the armory of this Normandy II! And the wealthy Hero Federation is very generous to Normandy II, which needs to run around the galaxy and perform important tasks, and gives a lot of weapons and equipment as soon as it strikes!
"No, that's not what I want to know! Annie...... I'm just a little strange, how can the ammunition of the mechanical unit be used against this woman?! ”
Shepard, who looked confused, pointed to the woman on the ground and asked with some confusion.
How could this female agent of Cerberus be immobilized after being hit by a locking bullet? The opponent is wearing mass effect armor, and it is absolutely impossible to be directly paralyzed and lose all mobility after being hit by a locking bullet like an EMP attack, which is not scientific!
"Because she's a robot, why not?"
\(“▔□▔)/
It turned out that the other party was going to ask about this matter, which caused Anne to break up so much in vain...... Whether it's a robot or a mechanical device, after being hit by a restrained locking bullet, it will definitely look like this!
For example, if the Banshee fighter is hit by a lock bullet and hits the vital part, it will lose its stealth ability at least, or it will be planted headlong from the sky, and there will be no better results.
"It turned out to be a robot? Is this true?! ”
Shepard's expression became even richer, and she simply crouched down next to the captive lying on the ground, and began to carefully approach the other person to observe.
"It seems a bit like, but ......"
Sure enough, after observing for a while, Shepard finally nodded in understanding, no wonder she always felt that the other party's eyes were too cold...... She didn't expect that it would be like this, that Cerberus would dare to develop such a thing?
The Treaty of the Citadel has clearly banned the production and development of intelligent AI, because they are well aware of the harm that advanced AI may cause! Therefore, in the entire race of the Galactic Citadel Council, no matter which race, at most a little floating cannon, combat and security robots with only the most basic friend or foe identification functions, and some automatic war machines.
It is absolutely forbidden to have an independent consciousness, an autonomous intelligent AI like that gethus!
But now, Cerberus has brazenly developed this kind of AI robot that seems to have independent consciousness, and it is exactly the same as a human, and he dares to send it on a mission? That phantom man, that Cerberus organization, is really not afraid of causing bad consequences? Think about it now, the Quarians are still wandering the universe, aren't they being harmed by those geths that have been developed indiscriminately?
"Humph! If you don't believe me, I'll strip her naked for you to see! ”
(ー`´ー)
Finding that the other party dared to doubt her own judgment, as soon as Anne stretched out her hand, she was ready to concoct this robot dressed in human skin, untie the tight armor that the other party was wearing, and then take a closer look to see if there was a zipper on the other party's human skin?
Anyway, as long as you strip naked, you will definitely be able to find each other's flaws! Of course, it is okay to cut off the skin of the other party directly, and she can see now that what is wrapped in the human skin is all that kind of high-density metal and precision instruments.
"No...... No, let's lock it up first......"
Shepard, who was a little stunned, quickly stretched out his hand to stop the little guy's reckless behavior.
She just had some doubts and feelings, and she didn't say that she didn't believe it, so she couldn't afford to strip a robot that looked exactly like a human woman in public.
"Little Anne is right, this is indeed a robot, she is just wearing a layer of biochemical skin on the outside."
"They are one of the direct forces of Jack Harper the Phantom Man, and the number is unknown...... And this time, he actually sent such a thing, so it seems that he must be more and more reluctant to trust other people. ”
"If I can, I really hope to have a good talk with him......"
At this time, Miranda on the side said a little cowardly, her state did not look good.
Originally, the leader of their Cerberus, that Harper, was determined to use everything he had to do anything to elevate humanity and ensure humanity's place among the stars of the galaxy, and she Miranda supported and understood this approach!
It's just that now that the Reaper army is pressing in and all the races in the galaxy are in danger, she still prefers to be more conservative, and agrees with Shepard's idea of prioritizing the elimination of those Reapers, rather than trying to control them!
That kind of practice is really crazy, and if you are not careful, it will be a catastrophe!
And to improve the status of the human race, as Shepard said before, it is enough to rely on and rely on that hero federation, and there is actually nothing wrong with the Star Federation joining the other party's camp, anyway, she Miranda herself likes Annie's little guy, and the other country's country should never be too bad.
"I see......"
"Now it's easier to lock it up, let EDI unload its energy and read its data, it's much easier than taking care of a living person!"
Seeing that Miranda, who is part of Cerberus, also explained the origin and specific identity of this robot, Shepard happily decided on the other party's disposal plan. In fact, just now, she was still a little entangled in how to deal with such a female agent, but now it's okay, dismantle the battery pack, find a warehouse and throw it away, and you don't have to worry about anything.
"By the way, Miranda, thank you for your understanding and support!"
"Although you were originally an agent of Cerberus, I believe that if we have a future, there will definitely be a place for you in the future Star Alliance! I'll put all your credit in your file, and no one will confuse you with Cerberus anymore! ”
Shepard, who was about to leave, seemed to have something in mind, hesitated for a moment, then turned and took two steps forward, patted Miranda on the shoulder, and gave sincere comfort.
After all, the other party is now at the same time as Cerberus, and she can't help but show a little.
In fact, the entire crew of the Normandy II, the former employees who had an affair with Cerberus, they were all her Shepard's comrades and partners, and as long as she could succeed in destroying the invading Reapers, she would certainly do her best to defend and benefit them, that's for sure!
"It's better to be free! I just saw that something seemed wrong with that Jack Harper and decided to help you......."
"Shepard, please don't get me wrong...... I don't think we Cerberus did anything wrong, it has been around for so many years...... Now, it's just that I don't agree with some of Harper's approaches, and my philosophy hasn't changed from beginning to end, you have to figure that out! ”
"And ....."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now, that's all!"
Miranda, who was still about to say something, thought about it and stopped some of the words she wanted to continue.
The more Miranda thought about this, the more she felt: although the phantom man of their Cerberus seemed to be similar to the things that the other party had done in the past, ...... At this time, the other party made that kind of decision, in her opinion, it is still a little unreasonable? But no matter what, now that she has turned her face, there are some things she must be prepared for.
She Miranda is a high-ranking official in Cerberus, and her profile says: efficient, ruthless, obsessed with human dominance, etc...... These comments are not scribbled! So, there are certain things that she needs to prepare for now.
"What's wrong with you?"
Looking at the other party's frowning brows and preoccupied looks, Shepard still asked with concern.
"Nothing! I'm going to take a break, it's over, I hope I won't be put on the list of hunts, right? ”
After laughing at herself, Miranda waved her hand and took the lead in leaving the shuttle parking area and walking directly into the elevator.
She really needs a good rest now.
“……”
"Miranda, if you really want to be hunted down by Cerberus, it should be me first, right? Rest assured, now that the Reapers' invasion is on a large scale, they certainly don't have the time or energy to embarrass us! ”
After instructing the staff and Liara to grab the fallen robot and read the data to ensure that the Prosen's device data would not be missed, Shepard shouted such a word of relief to Miranda's back.
“……”
"Then I will accept your good words!"
Miranda walked straight to the elevator without hesitation, however, what Shepard didn't know was that after the elevator door closed, she immediately used her multipurpose to urgently contact a secret channel:
"Oriana! Are you online, is it convenient for you to talk to me now? ”
The moment the elevator door closed, Miranda managed to contact a loved one she cared about.
And when she saw the holographic upper body image of a young girl with black hair and black eyes who looked very similar to Miranda in the universal tool, Miranda breathed a sigh of relief.
'Hello? Belch...... Sister, is that you, are you okay, why are you contacting me at such a time? ’
It's just that the person in the universal tool immediately noticed that Miranda was wrong, and asked with concern.
Because, the two sisters rarely contact each other at such a time, which is very abnormal!
"I'm fine! Don't worry, I've just successfully completed a mission, is your current place convenient for talking, is it safe to be safe? ”
'Safety...... Great, it should be safe, right? Why do you suddenly ask that? ’
"No, it's nothing, I just want to care about you a little!"
Obviously, Miranda didn't plan to tell her sister Oriana everything, so she didn't go on.
'I feel like there's something really wrong with you......'
"Nothing! We've just finished a mission on Mars, and we're in a bad mood right now, maybe we're too tired, right? ”
Is it true? ’
"Of course it's true!"
‘……’
"How are you doing now? Are you still used to it at school? ”
Speaking of this, the elevator door has been opened, and Miranda who came to the crew activity area quickly turned out of the elevator and came to her own crew room and closed the door as soon as possible, and after lying down on her single bed, she could finally talk to her sister with peace of mind.
'Oh......'
'I'm fine now, the house you arranged for me is very big, it's really a bit too big for me, my classmates say I'm a little rich woman......
The black-haired black-eyed girl named Oriana seemed to be a little unhappy, and with some anger, she lay on the bed and dragged her cheeks with her hands, pouting and looking at her sister.
"Thanks to your sister and me, you are now a veritable little rich woman!"
‘……’
'Damn Landa! You just have to do it in moderation, I don't like that, I'd rather go to work and support myself! ’
"Huh? Ha, hahaha......"
"If you really want that, go for it! But I would like to warn you: even if you go to the park for another month, you won't make enough money to spend a day. ”
As if remembering some ugly things about the other party, Miranda laughed unscrupulously in a rare way.
'Are you going to make fun of me today?!' ’
The girl's face in the communication began to darken, and it was obvious that one of the other party's scars had been ruthlessly uncovered by her sister.
"Of course not, I'm not that idle!"
"By the way, how are you studying lately, won't it be the tail of the crane again?"
In order to make the conversation easier for each other, Miranda laughed and talked about some other things, such as the other party's study situation or something.
'Very good! ’
But I still don't really like genetic ethics...... But I'm still going to get a full picture of them, as for physics and math that's trivial, I'm a top student! ’
"Oh? Scholar? ”
"Alright, Your Excellency Oriana, I have to remind you now: your "History of the Earth in the Late 20th Century" is below the standard line, only a little better than unqualified, do you need to hire you a reliable tutor now?"
Looking at her sister Oriana's ostentatious face, Miranda unceremoniously slapped the other party. Think about who she is Miranda, she has always been the second or third leader of Cerberus before today, and it is not too easy to pay attention to her sister's academic situation!
'You! ’
'Landa! How dare you spy on me!? ’
The girl on the holographic screen is waving her fists angrily, as if she wants to punch her sister's hologram?
"Do I still need to spy on you? I can know all about you at any time if I want! How about I, do you need to find you a good private teacher? ”
"Don't worry, your sister and I are very rich!"
Seeing her sister's look of chagrin, Miranda laughed heartily.
'History, it's still not necessary...... It really doesn't matter, I guess I'm just not very interested in them. You know, those subjects that rely on rote memorization and kill brain cells, as long as they pass, only a fool will memorize them! ’
"Xiao Ao, all disciplines are useful, because you never know when you will use it......"
Miranda crossed her arms and began to lie down on the bed in a comfortable position, and then her questioning gaze kept staring at her sister.
'It's useless, you can't interfere with this kind of thing, do you think it's the twenty-first century? ’
'Landa, I'll tell you, even if you're a sister, you don't want to control me!!' ’
“……”
"Oriana, that's Danner. Guys in Gusma...... Do you like him? ”
After being silent for a while, Miranda suddenly asked such a sentence without a clue, which made the girl who was happily talking to her stunned for a moment, and then soon, that delicate pretty face instantly turned red.
'Damn! ’
'Landa, you really sent someone to keep an eye on me, say it quickly! Who the hell is it?! ’
Oriana was really a little angry, she never expected that her sister, who was very controlling, would still put eyeliner next to her?
Who the hell could that person be?
Is it her teacher? Schoolmate? Or is it some of her own best friend?!
"It doesn't matter who it is!"
"That little man, I also know that his family has a fast food restaurant in the Shrine, and he has very good grades, and he likes sports, I think...... That's why you like him, right? ”
Miranda looked at her sister playfully, at the other party's flushed face, but she began to count unceremoniously.
‘……’
Oriana didn't answer, still glaring at her sister angrily.
"But, Oriana, he's not as perfect as you think!"
"Because I know that he broke his leg when he was 14 years old, and his right foot was about 0.1 centimeters longer than his left? It's just that that guy makes up for this shortcoming with sports and exercise, and under normal circumstances, little girls like you can't see it. ”
Miranda continued to speak unhurriedly, teasing this good sister of hers, which made her mood rarely better.
‘!! ’
'Landa! How could you be so clear?! ’
After the initial shame and anger, the black-haired girl became a little surprised, her sister is very energetic, of course she knows! However, she didn't know that the other party could even investigate one of her classmates so clearly?
"Well, guess what?"
Miranda gave the other a meaningful look and didn't say it explicitly.
‘……’
'Randa, then you say, if I want to, how do I get his attention?' ’
Anyway, her sister found out about her crush, and Oriana simply broke the jar and directly asked her Miranda sister for a way to seduce a man.
"Do you really want to be with him? I'm afraid you'll be disappointed......"
‘……’
'Do you even say it?' Don't think I can't find anyone else to ask besides you! ’
"That...... It's actually very simple! ”
"Men, big or small, are almost the kind of animals that think with their lower bodies...... And the first thing you have to do is to believe in yourself, don't pretend, and give yourself a little confidence? Of course I know it sounds silly, but if he's not interested in the real you, then he certainly won't really like you...... You have to believe that when the time comes, he will notice you, and he will like your appearance and heart at the same time, don't deliberately disguise it? ”
Miranda began to speak solemnly, even if she was very dismissive in her own heart.
The next sentence is: Because you never know if the person you like really likes you or if you like the lies you're pretending, am I right? ’
"Xiao O, you know too much, that's going to be uncute......"
If I hadn't known more, I would have been deceived by you!' You, an old girl who has been single for almost 30 years, I am also stupid to ask you such a question! ’
“!!”
"You're talking to your sister like that? Xiao Ao, I have decided: your pocket money will be halved next month!! ”
'I'm going to say it too!' ’
If you continue like this, you'll have to go to the Asari as a boyfriend...... Only their freaks won't mind your weirdness! They're the only ones who can treat you like a man, can't they? Anyway, even if you're not the right gender, they're sure they'll be able to have children and produce offspring for you! ’
I found out that I was being watched by my sister before, and the other party casually went to the Internet to find some inexplicable words to fool herself, so Oriana was angry and began to explode and count down her own sister very viciously.
“……”
"Next month's pocket money is gone, in fact, next month is gone, you should know the effect of my words! I think you have to carefully plan your own financial arrangements from now on, and hope that you still have a lot of money in that little coffer? ”
"It's really pitiful, sister, I raised you for so long, and you even hid less than 20,000 star coins?"
Now, it's Miranda's turn to have the black line on her head and, of course, the green veins on her forehead.
That is, this precious sister of herself, if she is a different person, who dares to talk to her like this, tomorrow the other party's accidental death report will definitely appear on the front page of the local news! That kind of death will definitely be very miserable and curious!!
'You even know that?! ’
'Humph! It doesn't matter, I've already decided: I'm going to find a boyfriend as soon as possible, at least with a free wallet to walk freely, right? ’
'Ah, I almost forgot, you probably don't know what that means?' ’
This little girl with a black belly continued to hit her sister Miranda with some pride.
Don't think that she will compromise if she cuts off her wealth, never!
She must let this sister who likes to control herself see, her own will is also very tenacious!
“……”
"You mean that Danner. Gusma, right? ”
After a moment of silence, the corners of Miranda's mouth suddenly played a wicked arc, and it was clear that she had also found a good way to hit her sister.
'What do you want to do?!' ’
The little girl was a little vigilant, and when she saw her sister's smile, she knew that something was wrong.
"Xiao Ao, I think it's necessary for me to urgently go through a transfer procedure for you now, maybe, the colony you stay in is not safe?"
Sighing, Miranda spoke quietly, waiting for the other party's reaction.
'Miranda! You're going to have to fix me?! ’
Sure enough, she saw that the image of the cute little girl began to become hideous.
"Unfortunately, it's not?"
"Well, I'm not as stingy as you! You should also know, those reapers, they don't know when they will attack you, so I hope that you can return to Earth immediately and finish your studies on Earth? Don't worry, I'll take care of everything for you. ”
"I've already found a school, and by tonight at the latest, you'll be notified of your transfer, and you'll leave early tomorrow morning!"
After putting away her playful expression, Miranda began to introduce it seriously.
‘……’
But, sister, hasn't the earth already been attacked? Is it really safe there? ’
Obviously, Oriana was a little unhappy, because she knew that Earth had just been attacked by those rumored reaper monsters, and she didn't know exactly what that was.
The Star Alliance has sealed the news quite tightly, but the casualties are very heavy, that is certain!
"Earth is the safest place in the galaxy right now!"
'Safer than the Divine Castle?' ’
"Of course!"
‘……’
'Sister, is something happening?' I just saw the headmaster's announcement, and he said that the Star Federation is going to send a large fleet of 1,000 dreadnoughts to garrison our star sector, but you, why do you still let me go back to Earth? ’
Oriana soon noticed something was wrong, because she knew what her sister was doing, and she had a good relationship with the other party and was extremely intelligent, so it was easy for her to get some not-so-good information from the other party's words.
Her sister Miranda, who arranged herself to Earth, will definitely not be the reason for those reapers!
"Well, I know I can't hide it from you pesky wit......"
"Well, my organization and I accidentally got into a bit of a frustration, though I don't know if they're going to make it difficult for you...... But you can't go wrong with moving you ahead of time! You don't want me to be distracted by taking care of you while I'm busy fighting the Reapers, do you? ”
Although she knew that her sister was very measured and would not make trouble unreasonably to worry about herself, she still persuaded with a straight face. If the other party can voluntarily listen to her arrangement, and if she is unwilling, then she can only take certain coercive measures.
'Why don't you, sister, go and help you on that Normandy?' ’
The little girl said expectantly, she felt that as long as she was with her sister, she didn't have to worry about herself all day long, and then, she could also go to live that exciting life, and save the galaxy by the way, and be a big hero?
“……”
"As long as your comprehensive score in the shipboard assessment can reach A, I agree! It's a pity, if I'm not mistaken, last time, you secretly went to the exam, but you couldn't even meet the minimum standard E? ”
"Am I right, my good sister who is a 'scholar'?"
Miranda shook her head, and once again struck the other hard with the facts.
This is not her prevarication, as long as the other party can pass the exam, even if she doesn't have any combat skills, she won't object! However, with the other party's age and knowledge level, if you want to be the worst clerk on the ship, you have to continue to study for at least ten or eight years!
'You're so annoying!!' ’
'I know it all, sister! I know...... I'm sorry, I just hate all this...... I live here myself, and my sister doesn't know where to save the world...... I hate that! ’
The little girl had compromised, but she still began to complain in fragments.
"Hah!"
"What's the point of saving the world if I can't even protect my own sister? Xiao Ao, I'm sorry, really...... Why don't you tell me about it again? How are the boys in Gusma? ”
Seeing that the other party did not resist her arrangement, Miranda was finally in the mood to joke with the other party again.
'Nothing to say! ’
I haven't confessed, I don't know if he likes it or not! Besides, I'll say goodbye tomorrow, so forget it! ’
She hasn't even gotten a word yet, and she's going to roll back to Earth mellow tomorrow, so she really doesn't want to discuss those troublesome things anymore.
Anyway, she definitely won't let her sister worry.
"So ......"
"That's it, I'll ask him to protect you and return to Earth tomorrow, so that you have a chance to confess, do you think my sister is very good and humane? Tsk, I actually took the initiative to introduce a boyfriend to my sister, which is really amazing! ”
As she spoke, Miranda laughed and waited for the other person's reaction, knowing that the other person's expression would definitely become funny!
Sister Oriana like that must be cute, right?
‘……’
‘!! ’
'That guy of his, it's actually a spy you arranged for me?! ’
Sure enough, in the video, the little girl suddenly jumped up from the bed and shouted angrily at her sister Miranda in that almost roaring tone.
She really never thought that it would be like this!
"I gave you a lot of hints, you should have guessed, didn't you?"
"Otherwise, why do you think I'm so familiar with him? I'm telling you, his leg was accidentally broken when I was training him! Although that guy is a little bad, Cerberus doesn't want him, but his skills are so-so, so I'll send him to protect you! ”
"Now, Xiao Ao, do you still like him? Do you think my sister, I am very considerate of you and very humane? Look at it, the bodyguard and the boyfriend, you have it all at once, as long as you give the order, he will listen to you for everything! ”
The corners of Miranda's mouth cracked in an evil arc.
This little Nizi still wants to fight with her, Miranda, the number one agent of Cerberus? Hmph, it's still a little too tender~!
'I hate you now, sister, you're the most wicked woman in the entire galaxy!' Also, I hate that one called Danner even more now!! ’
The object of his crush turned out to be a spy arranged by his sister's side......
Moreover, the other party has been keeping himself in the dark? It just didn't make sense, and Oriana felt that there really couldn't be anything worse than this!
So, in an instant, she immediately turned black, and then began to hate the damn spy agent who pretended to be a student and pretended to be so similar, and studied even better than herself! Fortunately, she didn't really confess to the other party, otherwise, her sister would definitely laugh at her for 10,000 years!
"Thank you for the compliment!"
"That's it, tomorrow when the fleet of the Star Federation arrives in your star sector, I will arrange for you to return to Earth with the military transport ship, prepare your belongings as soon as possible, that Danner will pick you up early tomorrow morning, and I will also arrange personnel to be on duty around your house tonight, you can sleep peacefully!"
It just so happens that now Miranda herself has a good relationship with the Star Federation and the Federation of Heroes, so she decided to make good use of it, anyway, it's just a free ride, and the other party will always give her a convenience.
'I see, goodbye, nasty Landa!' ’
"Huh?"
……
"Whew!"
"That's it! I've finally arranged that troublesome clever ghost, and hopefully she won't be found by Cerberus' men, right? That Jack Harper...... I don't think I'm going to tear my face and get into trouble with her, right? ”
After arranging for her sister to come to Earth, Miranda can finally reluctantly put her mind at ease.
She Miranda also has a lot of power of her own, and she also has a lot of subordinates and dark lines in Cerberus, if that Jack Harper has any bad thoughts, she will definitely know about it as soon as possible and make corresponding arrangements, so she is not too worried about her sister.
Click!
"Finally finished talking? You two sisters are so funny, so funny! ”
o(〃'▽'〃)o
Suddenly, a voice rang out on the same place where Miranda's single bed was kept, and she jumped to the floor in fright and pulled out the automatic pistol on her waist and aimed it at the other party!
"Who?!"
Almost at the moment when Miranda opened fire, she realized that it was Annie's little guy, and the other party happened to be sitting on top of her bed and knocking melon seeds?!
“……”
"Little Annie, when did you come? I've locked the door! ”
Seeing that it was the other party, Miranda was startled, and while scolding in her heart, she quickly lowered the muzzle of the gun and closed the insurance, and asked angrily.
Just now, she almost shot herself, it's so dangerous!
Merely...... When did this little imp come to her room, and why didn't she notice it at all? She was sure there was no one in when she came in, and she had locked the door, and it was still locked!
"I've been here since I started, and I'm coming in with a 'whoosh' of magic!"
ヾ (≧O≦) 〃嗷~
After discovering that the other party seemed to be secretly contacting someone, little Anne moved to the top bunk of the bed in the cabin of the other party's single room and sat there, because the other party was lying on the lower bunk to talk, so she couldn't find out at all before she took the initiative to make a sound.
Anyway, Anne had eavesdropped on Miranda's funny conversation with her sister named Oriana, so much so that she almost didn't laugh out loud.
"You, did you hear them all?"
Somehow, Miranda had some bad premonitions in her heart.
"Of course! You two sisters are so interesting, I want to have a sister! ”
ヾ(´∀`o)+
Actually, Anne herself has a sister, but it is another Valoran world, where there is another self...... If you go now, then the other self and her sister will definitely be older than herself, and she will have goosebumps all over her body when she thinks of meeting another teenage big sister Anne!
Therefore, she didn't even think about going back to that parallel plane, for fear that time would flow too fast there and let her see some troublesome things.
"God......
Miranda wailed, lay down on her bed, and buried her face in the soft quilt.
"There is no God in this world."
... (* ̄0 ̄)ノ
In the blink of an eye, Anne carefully reminded the other party.
In this cosmic plane of Sister Miranda, she didn't perceive the existence of any gods, so the God that the other party shouted was definitely not here, and it was useless for the other party to call like that, just like a mobile phone with no signal and not on the server!
"Of course I know....... okay, little one, can you stop hiding and eavesdropping on our conversation next time?"
Although what Miranda just said was not something unspeakable, she still didn't want anyone to know about her interaction with her sister, not even this eight-year-old ghost!
"Okay, next time before eavesdropping, I'll give you an advance of what's going on."
n(*≧▽≦*)n
You can't hide and eavesdrop, then just listen openly, this kind of little thing will definitely not be difficult for her Queen Anne.
“……”
My God......
Miranda, who had just raised her head, was stunned for a moment, then threw herself on the quilt again, and wailed in her heart.
"Sister Miranda, actually, I like your sister a lot, that little sister seems to be very interesting!"
(‘-ωก̀)
Anyway, Anne thinks that the conversation between the two sisters is very interesting, and they are both human spirits, and they speak very well, and she will come back next time she has the opportunity.
“……”
Miranda still buried her face under the covers, not wanting to talk to some rude imp who was peeping into other people's private affairs!
"Okay, then I'll go play with Big Sister Shepard...... I wanted to stay here tonight, but your bed is too small, and if I sleep with you, I'm afraid I'll kick you out of bed in the middle of the night, goodbye! ”
○(^dish ^)っHiahiahia......
After speaking, Anne didn't speak, just flashed and disappeared.
Anyway, now that all of them knew that she could do magic, and that kind of monster that flashed or something, so did the reaper monster, so she didn't need to estimate anything, and began to abuse magic unscrupulously, such as eavesdropping on the conversation between the two sisters of other people's families just now.
"Woo......."
Miranda waved her hand and continued to bury her head in the quilt and whimper, not wanting to pay attention to that hateful little ghost! Now, she just wants to be quiet, and no one should come to ask her who Jingjing is!

'Commander Shepard! ’
'I have just received a communication request from Earth, from Admiral Anderson, the current Supreme Commander of the Star Alliance, who wants to speak to you as soon as possible! ’
Shepard and the others were busy in the laboratory for a while, dismantling the energy source of the Cerberus robot, and obtained all the data, and just when they were about to take the information in the robot's hand to take a closer look, the artificial intelligence EDI of the Normandy II suddenly announced to him in the battleship.
"Admiral Anderson? I'm going to be looking for him, EDI, and I'll be there right away! ”
Hearing that it was the supreme commander of the Star Federation looking for him, Shepard didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he turned his head and walked briskly towards her captain's room.
Enter the elevator, ascend to the top floor, and enter your own captain's quarters, which is only half a minute! Soon, she hurried to her room and saw the hologram of Admiral Anderson, who had been waiting for a long time.
'Shepard, we just detected that your spacecraft has been in orbit around Mars for a while, is there anything wrong with that?' ’
Seeing Shepard, who hadn't had time to remove his armor yet, walked in, Anderson was surprised and asked. He could see that this female warrior had traces of battle on her body, and she must have experienced a low-intensity battle on Mars!
But......
It doesn't understand, what is the other party going to Mars for at this time?
"Of course there is a problem!"
"Admiral Anderson, we've found something amazing! It is very useful against the Reapers!! ”
Shepard clenched her fists excitedly and said loudly, her face full of that radiant expression, and anyone could tell that she was in a good mood.
'What the hell?! ’
Anderson was not verbose, and asked directly! Because he knows that Shepard will definitely not be untargeted! As long as it's good news from her, it's for sure!
"Something that will guarantee our victory over the Reapers, with which we can easily defeat the Reapers, crushing their plot to harvest the galaxy forever!"
‘……’
'Shepard, are you really sure?' ’
Anderson was a little incredulous, why did the other party bring back such good news to him less than two hours after leaving the earth? He had just finished his phone call with Admiral Hackett, could it be that today was his lucky day, and the good news came one after another?
Or maybe Shepard was lucky enough to pick up something nice just out the door?
But...... This leak is also picked up a little too fast, right? The distance between Earth and Mars, with current navigation technology, especially Normandy 2, is only a few minutes, how can you find something good so quickly?
"Of course you know!"
"You may not know it, but we were almost snatched by Cerberus! It's the Phantom Man of Cerberus, he's gone crazy now, and he wants to use that thing to control the Reapers and enslave the entire galaxy! ”
Shepard told her about their situation in the Martian excavation base, especially the crazy phantom man, which made her get that thing and her heart couldn't help but be clouded.
'What the hell is it?' ’
Anderson is still confused, this Shepard, can you directly get to the point?
He was dying now, he didn't want to care about Cerberus or the Phantom Man, he just wanted to know what would make it easy for them to defeat the Reaper, and that was the most important thing!
"It's just right, Liara is here, let's let her explain it to you, she's an expert in this area!"
At this point, Liara arrived at her captain's room with one of the little ones, and when the little one jumped directly onto her large couch, Shepard motioned for Liara to come to his side.
"Hello! Admiral Anderson, it's a pleasure to meet you! ”
Seeing the high-ranking official of the Star Alliance and former member of the Citadel Council appear here, Liara stepped forward to say hello.
'That's it! We're free of polite things! I just want to know, what exactly did you find on Mars? ’
Anderson stretched out his hand to stop the other party's salute and asked bluntly.
"It's a device, and preliminary evidence suggests that it's a document, a blueprint for a grand apparatus for the Protheans!"
Nodding, Liara began to explain, and she was about to talk to Shepard about this, so she simply told the two of them together.
'Equipment? What's the use of that, is it some kind of weapon? ’
Anderson doesn't care what the device is, he only cares about what it is for!
"A weapon that is lethal and accurate, capable of inflicting massive destruction on all reapers, and even destroying them instantly?"
Using her own universal tool, Liara exported the blueprint of the Protheus next to Anderson, a strange device. Although I don't know if it can wipe out all the Reapers in an instant, but, judging from the design description, it is indeed like that, as for whether the Protheus is exaggerating, then she doesn't know very well.
That kind of thing has to be carefully argued to know! However, according to her initial verification, nine times out of ten it is true!
'Now! Send us the information now! ’
Anderson's spirit was shocked, and he ordered directly.
'Oh! Wait, we have an expert here! Supposedly, he is the best human engineer and mechanic in the Craple Sector Hero Federation? ’
After saying that, Anderson didn't know what to do, and soon, a strong man with an eyepiece on his head, a wrench and other tools in his hand, and a messy beard on his face walked over and appeared in front of Shepard and the others.
'Hello two! Oh! You Asari are so much better looking than the Star Spirits! ’
The bearded man complimented Liara as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Thank you!"
Everyone likes nice words, even Liara the Asari, so she generously gave each other a delicate smile.
'I'm Rory Swan, and I used to with Renault!' ’
But now he's eloped with a mother-worm...... So, I had to work for the new Federation! Why, I just heard that you guys have something new in your hands? ’
'Oh! I see the data you've transferred......
'Wait, I'm going to take a good look, I've just finished working on your Mass Effect Principle, and that's an amazing invention!' It's a pity that Element Zero is unique to your world, and we still prefer to use high-energy crystals and gas, which are more powerful! ’
The bearded Rory Swan began to speak to himself, looking down at the blueprint of the transmitted data.
“……”
Shepard looked at the bearded man with a black line, she couldn't believe that such a guy was the best human engineer in the star sector? Why does she look and think that the other party is more like a miner and a repairman?
'I kind of get a little bit ......'
'Does this thing really seem to be useful?' But it seems to lack the equipment to project that powerful light across the galaxy? ’
The bearded man exclaimed in shock, and then quickly gave his own not-so-good opinion.
'A thing, while a great invention, we don't have the equipment and energy to spread its radiant radiation throughout the galaxy...... So, it may not be as good as our Federation's Super Big Ivan! ’
After studying it for a while, Rory Swan nodded, then quickly shook his head.
Although he didn't study it in depth, he generally understood its stimulating effect...... It's a pity that it's an impossible task, no one can spread the scope of a weapon directly to the entire galaxy, no one can, except God!
That kind of thing, the energy and power it needs, is capable of making anyone desperate...... It's hard to squeeze even a star dry! It's better to have a hard-to-head battle with those reapers!
'Okay, Shepard, we'll look at this thing carefully, now do you have anything else?' ’
Anderson, who had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, also calmed down and looked at Shepard with some pity.
"For the time being...... No ......."
Shepard was also a little gloomy, she didn't expect that what they had worked so hard to get would be such an impossible thing? That's a ...... It made her happy before.
"Wait!"
"What if this Lord Rory Swan was equipped with a mass repeater covering the entire galaxy as its resonance and radiation?"
"If you look at this device, the instructions here, I think, it must have been designed like this, right?"
I don't know what came to mind, and Liara, who was a little unwilling, suddenly pointed to a detail of the blueprint and a large pile of data and asked excitedly.
She had been looking at this information for longer than the other party, and of course she had noticed some small details.
'...... Mass Effect repeater?' ’
'Oh! I remember, it's your big jumping gear all over the galaxy? Wait, I'll do the math first.....
Rory Swan was still very new to this world, so he didn't think about it at all.
'Hmm.......'
It seems to work, but the problem is that we still can't control the entire galaxy repeaters at the same time, and I can't think of any way to control them at the same time, which is also a big project!" ’
When Rory Swan finished his research, he still had that tangled expression. Now the equipment for expanding the radiation has been found, and the energy is readily available, right in those large Mass Effect repeaters, but ...... How to control and resonate with them, that's a big question!
If you do it seriously, it doesn't seem to be easier than going to the Reaper?
"The Citadel can do it!"
"The Citadel Space Station can do it!!"
Shepard and Liara suddenly said in unison, and after a knowing glance at each other, they laughed at the same time.
'Citadel Station? So what? ’
'Well, I'm sorry, I've just come here, I don't know anything about your world, wait until I figure everything out, and then study this blueprint you sent..... trust me, even our best SCV troops, this big thing is not so easy to make. ’
'Give me some time?' ’
A confused Rory Swan didn't know what the other party was playing, so he decided not to make any comments for the time being, and waited until he figured everything out!
"Then please!"
As soon as Shepard finished speaking, the bearded man named Rory Swan hurriedly hung up the communication, causing the hologram to disappear into her captain's room.
‘……’
'Well done, Shepard, we're proud of you!!' ’
The outcome turned out to be unexpectedly perfect, and Admiral Anderson couldn't help but laugh happily.
"Sir, I think we need to make a trip to the Citadel soon!"
After knowing the direction of his efforts, Shepard opened his mouth and said, anyway, they were originally going to go to the Divine Castle, and it would definitely not be wrong to go and see it in advance now!
'Be careful, some repeaters are already taken over by the Reapers!' ’
Anderson has received information that many areas have completely fallen and lost contact, whether it is the Turks or the Asari! Therefore, except for the territory of the Star Alliance, the road to the Divine Citadel will not be too easy now.
"Yes! Rest assured, I understand! We'll be careful! ”
Shepard wasn't too worried, because she knew that their Normandy No. 2 was up to the job! They're not fighting the Reaper, they're just using the Mass Effect Repeater to sneak up on them, and while they're invisible, the enemy won't notice them.
