Chapter 0568: Citadel Resolution
Here at the Citadel Space Station, after the Normandy 2 docked, Shepard and the others were taken to the offices of the councilors for a long-awaited meeting, but little Anne did not follow, and now, she and Miranda are staying at their lunch in a manor-style open-air restaurant in a garden hotel in the fifth quarter of the Citadel space station.
This city, which can be said to be the capital of the galaxy, is still beautiful, and the traffic boats above everyone's heads are shuttling back and forth, still showing the prosperity of the city...... It's just that anyone can see that things are a little different now......
Miranda looked out through the light curtain separating the hotel from the street, and saw that the confident smiles on the faces of the people were no longer as natural as before, and the steps were no longer calm, and there was a little more anxious urgency...... If you add in the cargo ships in the channel higher above than in the past, it is not difficult to judge that the Reaper's attack on the galaxy has mapped and affected this beautiful space station and the core city of the galaxy!
"Huh! The Citadel doesn't seem to be doing well......"
After observing for a while, Miranda came to her own conclusion.
There seem to be too few warships here, and the number of the Citadel's fleet is less than one-third compared to the past! In addition to the losses of the rebellion, I am afraid that more have been dispatched...... If those monster enemies are in need, I'm afraid that as long as they raid about a few hundred Reaper warships, they will definitely be able to defeat this core city that is relatively weakly defended, right?
"Tsk!"
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with them.
Miranda and little Anne, they've been here for more than an hour...... Up to now, it's basically little Anne who continues to be a big chunk alone, as if the other party's little belly will never be filled...... Miranda, on the other hand, sat comfortably opposite the little one, holding a glass of expensive alcoholic beverages that she was usually reluctant to consume and enjoying it in small sips.
"Heh......"
After glancing at the little guy opposite him who was still not full, Miranda continued to lean on the comfortable back of the chair, holding a smart terminal in one hand to check the summary of the recent news of the Divine Castle, and stirring the silver liquid in the glass of the little foot with a tube in the other.
She kind of liked the job Shepard had given her to look after the little one, and it was not only easy and pleasant, but she could also enjoy the food and wine that the little one paid for for free, and it really didn't get much better than this.
"Hmm......"
( ̄~ ̄) Chew!
"Hah!"
(╯▽╰) good fragrance ~~
Although the fact that the hotel she went to not long ago had closed down made Anne feel a little regretful in her heart, as long as she could find delicious food in other places, the previous hotel was completely forgotten by her!
As long as it is delicious food, it can fill any unhappiness and regret in Anne's heart, and other unimportant things can be talked about later, or she will never be remembered.
“……”
Glancing at the little guy sitting across from her, looking at the other party's messy dining table, and then looking up at the half-closed Citadel sky above her head, she could easily see the city of the Third Guard District above.
Compared to the other David districts, the third guard area on the top does seem a little chaotic...... Miranda thinks that if it weren't for those dedicated 'caretakers' who are repairing and maintaining all the time, I'm afraid it would be even more chaotic now, right?
I'm afraid no one would have thought that this little guy in front of her Miranda, this little guy who eats every appearance, is the initiator of everything, right? If they hadn't brought this guy here, none of this would have happened.
"How much does this octopus cost? Waiter, bake one for me to try! ”
╮(●`◡’●)ノ
Little Annie, who was eating something, saw a beautiful levitating jellyfish passing by her at a glance! Because a waiter followed the other party, she thought that the other party was a certain ingredient or something, so she shouted directly.
“……”
The jellyfish and the waiter looked back at the little girl in surprise at the same time, and then, a beautiful flash of light flashed on the jellyfish's body, and then, without waiting for them to say anything, Miranda stood up:
"I'm sorry, you two, it's the first time the child has come to the Citadel, please don't mind?"
After Miranda apologized apologetically to the jellyfish-like creature for the first time, she finally didn't cause any more unhappiness, and the other party nodded knowingly, and quickly levitated.
"Anne ......"
"Why do you want to eat that Hana?"
After seeing that there was really no one around, Miranda sat down and whispered to the table, asking the little guy with some puzzlement.
“……”
"Something that looks exactly like a jellyfish, and you tell me they're human? Sister Miranda, don't lie to me that I don't know much, they're obviously the kind of octopus I've eaten, where does it look like a human? ”
! Σ(°△°|||) ︴
In addition to the earthlings, there are also the two-legged and two-handed Asari, the Turks, the Serarians, the Krogan or the Wallers, and so on! Their crooked stars, except for their strange appearances and some sorry for the audience, are roughly similar to human beings, as long as they are like that, they can be called humans.
Anyway, it doesn't include the big octopus that just floated by! No matter how smart it is, even if it speaks with light, it's still a big octopus, definitely not human!
"You're right!"
"But they are really aliens! Their race, called Hana, is a race similar to the jellyfish on Earth, as 90% of the surface of their home planet, Kaji, is covered by the ocean, so they are an intelligent species that has developed in the sea, and they are also one of the very few non-bipedal races in the Citadel. ”
"They're fragile, but those guys have deadly sacs in their tentacles that secrete natural toxins...... So at any time, you'd better stay away from them? ”
The Hana weren't scary, Miranda just didn't see the need to provoke those guys, because it didn't make any sense.
Plus, thinking about the kind of Asari VS Hana porn game that someone openly sells in the Citadel, she has a big head, and she can't understand what kind of bullshit those aliens are thinking in their heads!
But either way, it's always right to keep this little guy away from those aliens.
"Oh......"
_〆(´Д`)
There is no need for Miranda to remind Anne that for the big octopus that can't be eaten, Anne herself doesn't want to play with them!
"By the way, Annie, can I ask you for a favor?"
Looking at the greedy imp in front of her, Miranda suddenly remembered her sister Oriana.
Now, although that guy has been arranged to Earth by himself, he is looking at the information here in the Citadel, as well as the news gathered from all over the galaxy here...... What she had seen just now, without exception, those various star fields that were in disarray, they were all defeated one by one in the face of the Reaper's overwhelming attack......
So, Miranda thought about it seriously, and suddenly felt that the earth didn't seem to be too safe and reliable?
She estimated that it was still unknown whether they would be able to defeat the Reapers, given the current dire situation...... So, to be on the safe side, it's better to arrange for your sister to go to a safer place in advance? Otherwise, maybe she herself died on the way, and then what would her sister do?
"Huh? What's up? Tell me about it! ”
ψ(* ̄ω ̄)ψ
Looking up at the big sister Miranda who wanted to talk and stopped, Anne lowered her head and went down to eat her own food in the next second.
As long as it's not too troublesome, it's okay for her to help a little.
"The ......"
"That Hero Federation of yours, that Kpopu Star District, isn't it safe there?"
After hesitating for a while, Miranda finally made up her mind to ask.
Now this little guy is in a good mood, and he takes the opportunity to ask the other party to help him solve a little thing, then it must be okay! Otherwise, if you want to find such a good opportunity again, you don't know when.
"Hmm......"
"Kopru's Zone..... anyway, that villain called Emmon has already been killed by us, so it should be okay now? There will be no problems! ”
ψ(˘•ω•˘)ง
Anne barely remembers a little bit about the events in the Kprustar Zone......
Anyway, those dark Salnagar Emons who know how to do things all day long, want to destroy the world all day long, and can't live without destroying them, the other party has been beaten to death by her and Kerrigan together! Therefore, the current Kpru Star Zone, as long as the humans, star spirits, and insects do not die by themselves, it must be very safe, and it must be countless times better than the current world invaded by the Reapers!
As for UED or something, it's been defeated twice, so there's definitely no problem! After all, with that Kerry Gan here, if he is really forced to be in a hurry, the other party may jump out and make a wave, and those UEDs are still just sending food for nothing?
"What is this going to do, you ask?"
"Are you afraid of the reapers, and want to be deserters now?"
Σ(`д′*ノ)ノψ
"I'm telling you, it's safe to stay with me, with Grand Führer Anne watching over you, and I promise you won't be bullied by the Reapers!"
┗(*`0′*)┛
Anne couldn't have been sure of anything else, but if it was on Normandy II, or around her, it would have been safe, and she swore by it! If any of them accidentally burp, let the bear soak in water for the rest of his life!
(…… )
Σ(°㉨°|||) ︴
"I'll tell you, you can rest assured, reaper or something, there will be no problem!"
ᕕ(‵▽′)ψ
After squeezing down a bad bear that wanted to move, Anne nodded in reassurance.
"It's not like that......"
"My sister, Oriana, you should still be impressed, right? The other day, when you were just leaving Mars, you overheard the two of us! ”
Putting down the terminal in his hand to gather information, Miranda picked up his silver alcoholic drink and asked cautiously as she drank it from the tube.
She was a little worried in her heart, for fear that the other party would reject her or something......
It's just that she covered it up well with the action of drinking, and it didn't make it easy for people to see how unnatural she was at the moment...... Speaking of which, asking for help with this kind of thing, in so many years, is the first time for Miranda! In the past, she had done whatever she wanted to do, either by force or by ordering Cerberus' men to do it for herself.
"I didn't eavesdrop! I'm listening openly, but you don't notice me! ”
(o゚v゚)ノ❤
At that time, Anne herself had been sitting on it and eating while watching the young lady who spoke so nicely and talked back to this Miranda, so how could it be called eavesdropping?
Inexistent!
Anyway, she won't admit that she was eavesdropping, she just wanted to take a look at it curiously, who made this Miranda big sister look anxious on her face at that time, looking mysterious and curious, of course, she needed to 'care' with the past, not eavesdropping!
“……”
"Okay, let's not talk about eavesdropping, I just think that the earth may not be safe now...... So, can I send my sister Oriana to study on your planet in the Kproru? ”
"In that case, I thought, I might be a little more at ease?"
In fact, Miranda feels that no part of the galaxy is very safe right now, especially Earth!
Even though there were a large number of giant warships guarding it now, she knew that the base of the Reaper ships was still a little too large......
Although I don't know why, those Reapers know that they haven't made large-scale sorties now, but it is conceivable that after the Reapers know that the more than 2,000 Reaper warships that invaded the Earth and the Arcturus space station have been wiped out, what awaits the Star Alliance will be an even more ferocious attack and retaliation, which is almost inevitable!
It's just that, judging from the current battle reports, it is possible that those Reapers want to level out the rest of the galaxy before attacking the solar system and the Arcturus space station? After all, now whether it is the Turui or the Asari, their resistance is still very tenacious, and their strength has not suffered much loss at present, before they were in the Divine Citadel after being warned by Anderson, they should have been given a few more days to prepare in advance, and now that they think about it, they can more or less continue to hold out for a while.
"Of course you can!"
"Wouldn't it be nice if you went directly to that Galen for this kind of thing, you all know him, why did you come to me? I don't like reading or something! ”
"Let me tell you, I can see what the teacher teaches, so I don't have to learn it!"
ψ(。 -`ω´-)ψ
No matter where she is, whether it's Azeroth, Kpopru, or whatever, Anne has always been careless, what do others like to do, don't bother her if there's nothing to do, and it's best not to bother her if there's something?
Whether it's the Flame Kingdom or the current Hero Federation in the Kprustar Zone, she just messed around with it after she got up, and what happened after that...... Then she will be grateful for the insensitive, those broken things, whether it is a meeting or a seal or something, don't come to her, whoever comes to her, she will be in a hurry!
"If you agree!"
Nodding, Miranda finally relaxed a lot.
This little guy, I'm afraid I don't know, just such an unintentional sentence can withstand her Miranda's begging grandpa to sue grandma to beg countless people, right? In the evening, all she had to do was communicate to Galen on Earth, and she couldn't help her with Miranda!
As for whether her sister Oriana is willing or not......
Then it doesn't matter, her Sister Miranda's kind arrangement, where is the reason for the other party to refuse?
"Are you full now, do you want to go somewhere else?"
After seeing that the other party had eaten about the same, Miranda looked at the time, and it was almost an hour later, so she asked tentatively. If you want to play, you have to do it early, or you won't know when you will come to the castle next time.
"It should ...... You're almost 80% full, right? ”
(╯▽╰) a little swollen~~
"You don't have to play, I don't like to hang out with those weird-looking aliens, let's wait here for Shepard and them."
┏(^0^)┛
The Divine Castle is a strange place where you only need to look up to see all the cities in the Wei District, so there's nothing fun about it!
As for the food, in addition to the ones on the table now, she just used a universal tool to order a lot of the delicious alien specialties she had eaten, and basically bought everything she could buy, and those aliens would help her transport them to Normandy 2 by themselves, so that she didn't have to go shopping all over the world!
Now that she is full of food and drink, she just wants to lie down in the chair and do nothing......
"Shepard?"
"Huh! Things for them won't be easy...... Maybe it's going to be a while, and the meeting won't be finished! ”
"Perhaps, maybe their bureaucrats will just drag it out into the evening?"
Of course, Miranda knew that when Shepard and the three of them were docking, they went to the Citadel Circle to have a meeting with the council members, and since they had left until now, more than an hour had passed, and since they had not sent back the information of inquiry until this time, she knew that the meeting must not have gone well!
Moreover, Miranda didn't think that the councillors and bureaucrats of the Citadel would be able to do anything efficient!
Otherwise, when the races of the galaxy face the Reaper, it will not be the current embarrassing situation! If they were willing to believe in the Reapers, like Cerberus, they wouldn't have ended up in that bad situation now!
But......
The lives and deaths of the Asari, the Serrais, the Turks, or any other race have nothing to do with her Miranda!
She herself is still the one who agrees with Cerberus's ideals of human supremacy!
If she could, she would even be willing to wait for the Reapers to clean up the Galactic races before destroying those Reapers and establishing the hegemony of humanity in the galaxy in one fell swoop?
Of course, there's a premise for this: their device on Mars is real and effective!
However, these are just her Miranda's own opinions, she is just a pawn, and the affairs of the war are in the hands of the high-level of the Star Federation and the Federation of Heroes, even if she tries her best to fool the little girl in front of her, I am afraid it will not have much effect.
"If you're willing, then let's rest here and wait for Shepard and them! But I'll warn you, that could really be in the evening! ”
Lying back in her chair, Miranda said this comfortably.
Now she basically has nothing to worry about except for the things in Cerberus! If she had time, she'd go check to find out why something was wrong with Jack Harper, the Phantom Man! Because just now, the subordinates in Cerberus secretly sent her a message that the phantom people were transforming the soldiers and wanted to 'sublimate' them, and that was a big plan?
This kind of thing, if she has the chance, she will definitely have to figure it out!
"At night?"
"Hey! Waiter! Book us a dinner for the evening, we're not leaving now, we're just waiting here for dinner! ”
₍₍╰(゚∀゚) o
Little Anne slapped the table and happily shouted to some alien waitress in the distance.
“……”
“……”
Whether it was Miranda or the crooked star waiter not far away, they were instantly petrified in place......
Perhaps, this is the first time that people have seen guests who are still lying in their seats after lunch, and still waiting for dinner, right?
Of course, this kind of good thing will definitely not be refused.
——————
"Shepard ......"
"Unless, you can get that foreign aid fleet you found to help us clear our territory of the Reapers! Otherwise, it will be difficult to carry out the joint thing as you just described! ”
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse!"
"I think you've heard what we've just said! Now the Reapers are in our territory...... The same includes the territories of other councillor races! Our homeland is as important as your Earth, and unless their safety can be ensured, the proposal to join forces to launch a tentative attack on the Reapers, is no longer to be mentioned! ”
This one is speaking to the Turkian Councillor who is the most hostile to humanity, or arguably to Shepard.
However, under the attack of powerful foreign enemies, he felt that it was very difficult to resist, and after knowing that there were basically no reapersin in the solar system of the earthlings, and the reaper fleet that invaded Arcturus had almost been wiped out, he finally endured all kinds of unhappiness and hatred in his heart, and turned around and wanted to persuade Shepard, the plenipotentiary ambassador who can represent the Star Federation, to get the other party to agree that the Hero Federation from the Kpru Star Region would first help their turians drive away the reapers!
This is very important! Because, the information from the Divine Citadel from within their turian people shows that if there is no foreign aid, it will be difficult for them to defeat those reapers......
"We can ignore the fact that you earthlings are cooperating with the humans of that Kprustar region privately, or we can not hold you earthlings accountable for introducing them into our law enforcement zone and exposing our existence, as long as you set an example and fight those reapers, we will recognize the legitimacy of your alliance and choose to join you!"
"This request of mine should not be excessive, right?"
Although the Divine Citadel and the various races have more or less learned a lot of relevant things about the Hero Federation that is cooperating with the earthlings, they don't know that the other party is actually from a parallel cosmic plane, and now they just think that the other party is from some unfamiliar star region?
After all, the Milky Way is so big, and the Mass Effect repeaters are all over the galaxy and star regions of the entire galaxy, and the area that can be detected by the races of the Citadel Council currently only occupies less than three percent of the entire galaxy...... Thinking about it this way, it is understandable that there is a powerful nation hidden opposite the repeaters that have not been activated, which also explains the source of the weapons of the previous rebellion in the Divine Citadel?
Therefore, it was relatively easy for them to accept the mysterious large fleet that now had a lot to do with humanity and helped wipe out at least two or three thousand Reaper fleets. Come to think of it, those lawless humans have always had a history of recklessly opening and activating an unknown Mass Effect repeater, and now they are lucky enough to run into that Hero Federation, which is understandable.
"Wait! Turian MP......"
"You must know that the strength of the Reaper is greater than the strength of all our races combined!"
"If we continue to fight and disrupt the Reaper's all-out offensive first, our hopes of successfully defending off their invasion will only become slimmer, so I think Shepard's advice is right......"
"Should we unite first, launch an attack, and disrupt the enemy's arrangement?"
Before Shepard could continue to speak, the human councillor of Udine, who was on the side, persuaded the Turks.
After destroying the Reaper fleet that had invaded Earth and the Arcturus Space Battlestar Sector and restoring communications, Udina of course received a report from the Star Federation and asked him to cooperate with Shepard in facilitating the union as soon as possible.
That's why he single-handedly brought about today's important meeting.
"Councillor Udinea, you're wrong!"
"Now the Reapers' frenzied attacks all over the galaxy, and they are also attacking our Athari's Athena Nebula, we are very difficult to resist, the news from the front line is very bad, there are at least thousands of them, definitely no less than the invasion of your earth!"
"If you don't rush to our aid, it's only a matter of time before they attack the Panisha system...... If you really sit idly by and watch our home planet and territory be occupied by the Reapers, I think that by that time, the Star Federation and the Hero Federation, which have lost much of your strength, will probably not be able to defend against those Reapers, right? ”
"So it is clear, and now you help us, you help yourselves! This does not seem to contradict the proposal of the alliance? ”
Obviously, Councillor Asari is also more inclined to what the Turks just said, and wants to unite to attack and deal with the Reapers, of course it is possible!
In the face of this great matter of life and death for the entire galaxy, they Asari have no reason to refuse!
However, before they can do so, they must first ask the supposedly powerful Hero Federation to send troops to help them run away or stabilize the defense of Athena Nebula! Only then can they draw out the little strength they have to cooperate with the various actions of the Star Federation and the Hero Federation, whether it is disrupting the offensive rhythm of the Reapers, or sneaking around to destroy the enemy's living force, they have no objections!
At that time, the matriarch and the elder council of their Asari people will definitely give their full support!
"I have one more piece of bad news here, we Turks have all lost Tetrus now!"
"Although our brave warriors are engaged in a life-and-death duel with the enemy, the situation is still bad...... Until that unfavorable situation is stabilized, we will not get involved in anything unrelated to guarding our territory! ”
"I still stick to what I just said: unless humanity helps us, we will not respond to any of your actions, nor will we give you any help!"
Seeing that these people were still arguing, the distraught Turui congressman hurriedly reiterated this point again! Turui's interests are above all else, and they will not help outsiders casually no matter what they do before they solve their own troubles!
Although, it is still unknown whether the Reapers, who evenly distributed the fleet and attacked all the sectors, or only some of them, and the main force is still waiting for the opportunity...... But the Turian Councillor only insisted on one thing: the earthlings must unite with the Federation of Heroes and help them relieve the enemy's imminent siege of the planet Palaven before they do anything else.
"Congressman Turui is right!"
"We've all seen the strength of the Reapers, and if we use our small fleet without permission, what will happen to our own homeland?"
"At that time, maybe we haven't succeeded in defeating the Reaper, and our own homeland has been destroyed...... what is the point of all the efforts we have made at that time?!"
"So, Shepard! You have to help us before we can cooperate with you! ”
The Asari suffered heavy losses in the Reaper's attack this time, so she is very, very desperate for those reinforcements from the Earthlings!
She'd heard that there were at least tens of thousands of fleets, all of which were dreadnoughts and higher, even bigger than their Asari's Destiny Transcendental, capable of destroying the Reaper Overlord warship with a single shot! Therefore, she felt that it would not be too much for the earthlings to reluctantly divide 10,000 ships out and help them get through the Nanguan in front of them first, right?
Only when their homes are safe, can they go all out to unite and organize all the advanced civilizations of the galaxy to resist the terrible disaster that is coming!
“……”
The Serari did not speak, but stood silently.
One is that their strength is not too strong, and the other is that their homeland has not been invaded by the Reapers...... Therefore, among all the parliamentary races now, I am afraid that they are the most calm Serrarui!
Today, no matter what the outcome of the meeting is, they will support the resolution of the Asari and exclude the fleet from going to the Athena Nebula to help them, and that's it!
After all, they are each other's most loyal allies!
“……”
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
"We've been arguing about these things for more than an hour, and I don't think there's any need for us to continue arguing!"
"I can tell you right now: neither we nor the Federation of Heroes from the Kpruh Sector have much chance of winning against the Reapers! The number of them, as you must know, would be almost endless if it weren't for the fact that they were now dispersed......"
"You may not know that now, our Star Alliance has even made plans for a big retreat?"
That's right, Admiral Anderson has already replied to himself, and their small civilian factories are being ordered to frantically build all sorts of small improvised landing craft and prepare them for distribution to all cities, streets, and villages of the planet! When they really can't beat it, they will run with the troops of the Hero Federation, and run to the Kpru Star District, as much as they can!
It was a plan for a great retreat, and it was still top secret, but it was not impossible to talk about it here.
"We're here today, apart from the joint proposal just now, to concentrate all our forces against the Reaper, and that's ...... We need the support of your resources! ”
"Because, we have to build something as soon as possible, and it may be related to whether or not we can defeat the Reaper!"
In the past few days, whether it is the research experts of the Star Federation or the engineers of the Academy of Sciences of the Hero Federation, they have all conducted detailed research and analysis of the Prothean device, and have come to the conclusion:
That Proxian device is probably the real thing!
However, it takes a lot of time and a lot of resources to build that thing, even if the Federation of Heroes has urgently dispatched the most experienced SCV engineering troops and transported some metal supplies, there are some special things that must be raised in this cosmic plane!
In addition to this, they also need to take the initiative to attack and harass the Reaper's fleet, interfering with their judgment so that they can't attack Earth again too soon, and they can't find the one that they are about to start building in the asteroid belt outside the orbit of Mars!
Otherwise, with the strength of the Reapers, it wouldn't be too easy for them to ruin their plans?
"Wait, Shepard, what you just said, what is it?!"
At this point, Councillor Serarui spoke, and she was a little puzzled...... Shepard, they didn't seem to have talked about this matter just now?
So, feeling as if she had discovered something unusual, she asked in time.
"Let this Asari expert beside me explain this matter to you!"
"Liara?"
Shepard isn't very good at technology, she's just an N7 warrior and a ghost of the Citadel! Therefore, she had to look at the companion beside her, and it was better to leave that kind of technical question to the expert of the Asari people to explain, otherwise, she Shepard would not believe what she said.
"Councillors!"
"This happened a few days ago, on the day the Earthlings defeated the Reaper! At that time, we found a great plan in the ruins of the Prothean on Mars, a blueprint at that time...... It is the precious treasure left behind by the Protheans and reapers tens of thousands of years ago when they fought wars......"
Liara, who has been unable to interject, this little Lori who is more than a hundred years old in Ashali, finally has a chance to speak now! This thing can be said to be the first to be discovered by her Liara, and if it can really be used to defeat the Reaper and save the entire galaxy at that time, then she will be the one who has the greatest credit!
This kind of thing, just thinking about it, makes her feel very excited and excited!
"Prothean plans, blueprints? Sounds interesting...... But what is that? ”
Before seeing the real thing, the Serarui Congressman, who is very knowledgeable about technology itself, obviously didn't want to comment too much. If you want her to believe it, you have to let her see the blueprint with her own eyes, even if it's a sketch!
"Of course! Look! ”
Liara nodded, and opened a rough holographic manufacturing drawing and model of the Prosian device directly from her multi-tool, allowing her to zoom in and project it as much as possible.
The blueprint for this plan, it's very complex, it's huge...... It's almost the equivalent of a gigantic facility, no less than the Citadel Space Station! It may take a lot of time to study it carefully, but she can do it with a brief explanation now.
"It does look like some kind of weapon! Moreover, it has been verified by the Star Federation and the Federation of Heroes, and of course me! We all agreed: it's a great plan that works! ”
"You see, it requires a lot of resources to build, and it can't be done by Starlink alone! In terms of manpower, we already have it, but we don't have enough resources, far from it! Especially those cherished element zero!! ”
"And here......"
Liara began to excitedly explain to herself in front of the councillors, like a little girl who had found a good toy.
Well, she was originally an Asari little loli?
"Can you build it to defeat the Reaper?"
The Turkian Congressman asked busily.
"It looks like it should work, but we're missing an important step!"
Liara said without looking up.
"An important step, what's that?"
The Asari Councillors are also a little anxious, if this thing is true, it will help them a lot!
"Citadel Station, we need this station!"
Shepard took two steps forward and said to the councillors!
In fact, she needs to drive this Citadel space station to the solar system, wait for the built Proxian device to dock to the tail of the Citadel's ring area, and then use the powerful energy contained in the Mass Effect Repeater of the Citadel and the entire galaxy to defeat those Reapers in one fell swoop!
This is the great plan of the Prostheus at the beginning! It's a pity that they didn't have time to implement it, they were already defeated, so they had to hide it in a hurry, until today, it was discovered and excavated by their earthlings on Mars.
"Wait! Shepard and this Miss Liara, I wonder what it means to need the Citadel Station? ”
The Serrarui people are a little puzzled, why do you need a Citadel space station for a weapon?
"Let's talk about it!"
Shepard shrugged helplessly and looked at Liara beside him.
"Here's what happened: this device, although it can launch a powerful attack that can destroy the Reaper, but it is also an impossible task to destroy the Reapers, which are almost all over the small half of the galaxy!"
"Therefore, we need to radiate and expand its power in resonance, use the core position of the Divine Citadel to control and resonate with all the Mass Effect repeaters, use their huge energy, radiate its powerful attacks to the entire galaxy, and directly destroy all the Reaper warships that have invaded various galaxies, leaving no one behind!"
Liara excitedly said the idea that she had first proposed, and this thing was indeed the first thing she thought of.
“……”
"Sounds like it's possible?"
Councillor Asari and Councillor Serarui looked at the Councillor before the Serari nodded, blinking at a pair of huge eyes.
"Wait!"
"This plan...... Did the Star Federation and that Federation of Heroes come up together? ”
At this time, the Turui Councilor, who was also a little excited, suddenly fell silent, and then said such a sentence without a beginning or an end!
"Yes! But I think so myself, what's wrong with that? ”
Liara was a little puzzled, as long as the plan was right, what does it have to do with who proposed it?
“……”
"Not long ago, that Federation of Heroes was plotting to overthrow the Citadel...... Now, you're using this high-sounding excuse to get your hands on this place...... So, may I ask you, can I think that all this is just your conspiracy, and it is you earthlings or the Hero Federation who want to get the place of the Citadel Space Station? ”
"You ......"
"What the hell are you trying to ?!!?"
Councilor Turui shouted with a somewhat unsightly face!
“……”
“……”
Soon, his opinion made the other two councillors except for the human Udina also wake up, and looked at the three Shepard in the middle of the conference room with silent and questioning eyes.
Obviously, the other two lawmakers seemed to have such a relationship in mind after being reminded.
"It's ridiculous!"
"Congressman Turui, what time is it now, and you are still thinking about that matter? I swear, it was just a misunderstanding!! ”
Shepard, who knew what was going on, stepped forward and refuted it loudly.
"Shepard ......"
"We all know that you have nothing to do with that matter! We can act as if nothing happened, but you have to do what you do to make us think that you are not plotting to overthrow the Citadel! Otherwise......"
"We won't help in any way! Even, we reserve the resolution to take the necessary measures against your humanity? ”
The Turkish Councillor said with an unkind look in his eyes that they were already guarding against humanity now, and if they went further, it was not impossible!
"I agree with that!"
"Shepard, you must set an example, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to trust you anymore......"
The Asari nodded, indicating that she also supported the idea of the Turui. This is a serious matter, Shepard must do something!
"I'm ...... too"
The Serarians also sided with the Asari, and now that the council was three-to-one, there was no need for meetings and negotiations to continue in the face of a showdown.
“……”
"Shepard, if we're not wrong, that Hero Federation should indeed be the culprit in the third guard outside, right?"
Senator Asari asked.
“……”
"Nope! They just sold weapons, and I can assure you that they have absolutely nothing to do with it! ”
That's true, the fact is that she Shepard gave too little money, and the little guy was angry, so he sold some of the weapons, and then coincidentally, the Krogan who got the weapons was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he rebelled directly!
It's that simple!
It's just that Shepard may never say it for the rest of his life...... She dared to guarantee that the little guy didn't mean it, and the Federation of Heroes would never have any conspiracy against the Citadel Space Station, let alone be the culprit of the rebellion in the Third Guard District!
Until now, Admiral Galen probably didn't know about it.
"What the hell do you guys want us to do?!"
Shepard is furious!
After tossing and turning for almost two hours, they still don't want to believe themselves and come to such a conclusion? Are these damn politicians so weird?
"It's easy! Help us destroy the Reapers, who have invaded our homeland, and we will agree to all your proposals, whether it is to join forces to attack or to support your plan? ”
The Turks said slowly, as long as those earthlings and the Hero Federation can help the Turks defend themselves against the Reapers, and finally give the Dominance of the Divine Citadel to each other, what does it matter?
"Yes, that's fair, and it's the best thing I can think of right now!"
The Asari also stood up and forced Shepard to take a stand!
Their Athari's Athena Nebula is in danger, and if they don't have support, they might be doomed! But at this time, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, except for the earthlings, they couldn't think of anyone else who had the ability to help them Asari!
"Shepard, I think that's pretty good, what do you think?"
Of course, the Serari people have also come out to follow suit, and the final result of the matter has come out!
So, she looked at Udina and Shepard, the human councillors, and waited for each other's final answers.
“......”
“......”
