063 Crisis from within

Since there was no special prison on board the Osiris, the captured Lieutenant Colonel William had to be put in a confinement chamber for punishing the crew.

From the time he got on the ship to the time he was imprisoned, Lieutenant Colonel William looked discouraged, as if he was several years old. He hoped so much that he could now defeat the Osiris and the second plane to avenge his brother, and he was so close to success. But now he has been defeated by the second machine and locked up on the Osiris.

He huddled in confinement, fearing what would happen to him: either to be taken away by the new European Union and imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp, or to be sent back to the HER's capital, New Rome, for negotiations, where he lived a life of despise.

In a moment, dinner was brought in, and the food was a box of mashed potatoes and two ham sausages. William was not in the mood to eat, and he casually threw his plate aside.

But one of the cutlery on the plate caught his eye, and it was a pair of wooden chopsticks. Because of the racial fusion of the RX Era Metaverse colonization project, it is not surprising that a wide variety of cutlery appears on one ship. The strange thing is that he was given mashed potatoes, but he was not given a spoon but only chopsticks, how can you eat slimy mashed potatoes with chopsticks? East Asians who were born with chopsticks may be able to, but William, the cosmic man, does not have this skill.

Is the Osiris deliberately making things difficult for herself? He picked up the chopsticks and looked at them, and was surprised to find that one of the two was hollow. He then broke it down and found a note inside, saying that someone on the boat would help him out, and that he would accept the rescue by simply returning the mashed potatoes to the guards as they were.

A few minutes later, a guard went to the dining room with William's dinner plate, but was stopped by the staff officer Zhong Xingshuo.

"Hello sir!"

The guards saluted Zhongxingshuo, who thought that the staff would ask him about the prisoners, but Zhongxingshuo just glanced at the plate and let him go, which made the guards inexplicable.

After leaving the guards, Zhong Xingshuo walked quickly to find the chief of staff, Danquill, who was pacing back and forth in his room. It wasn't cold in the room at all, but he was sweating like rain.

After Zhongxing Shuo entered the door, he couldn't suppress his excitement and said to him: "The captured HER officer is willing to accept our rescue!" ”

Chief of Staff Danquill continued to pac, without raising his head: "No, no, no, I promised you to seize control of the Osiris together, but let go of the HER captives..."

Danquier was still struggling with his mind, and because of his lack of reuse and disagreement with Captain Shepard, he accepted an invitation from the ship's spy to Xingshuo. It was agreed that they would find an opportunity to seize control of the Osiris and bring it back to the colonial satellite city-state of Mycenae. But he doesn't like HER people in his heart, and letting go of HER's captives is tantamount to doing things for HER himself.

Seeing that Danquill was still hesitating, Zhong Xingshuo's expression became cold and scary, and he threatened: "Why did you retreat from the battle?" Too late! Dozens of spies on board are on standby, and now they will either let the captives go or push you down from a height of several hundred meters! ”

"Shut up! I... I'm just worried that we're being taken advantage of by HER. ”

Zhong Xingshuo sneered: "Utilization? It's us who are taking advantage of them! The condition for releasing the captives is that he will come back with his army to attack the Osiris, and we will be ready to take the ship together!" Come on, no plan is foolproof since ancient times, it's up to you to have the guts to do it! ”

Twenty minutes later, Corporal Bart and several crew members searched for the escaped William on the ship. In the hallway, they meet Chief of Staff Danquill, who is followed by Staff Officer Zhong Xingshuo and a man wearing a hat and a staff uniform.

"What are you doing?" Danquier asked Bart.

Danquier's previous military rank was warrant officer, which was considered relatively high on the Osiris. Bart and other drivers were demoted to non-commissioned officers along with Anton because of their previous protests against the "Mycenaean" parliament's detention of Lieutenant Anton for beating journalists. So seeing the chief of staff asking himself, Bart didn't dare to hide it from him:

"Chief of Staff, the prisoner has escaped!"

"Ran away?" Danquier pretended to be shocked.

"Yes! I don't know who attacked the guards in the confinement room and let the captives go! We're looking for someone! ”

"Why didn't I hear the radio?"

Captain Shepard almost fainted in anger when he heard the captives fleeing, and Jessica, who was in charge of the broadcast, was taking care of him, and no one was broadcasting. No, I'm going to find someone! ”

Seeing Bart and the others walking away, Zhongxingshuo wiped the beads of sweat on his head: "Whew, it's really dangerous!" You took the initiative to talk just now, I thought you were going to betray us! ”

Danquill was also a little afraid, he said: "Take the initiative to talk, the possibility of being suspected will change, let's go to the hangar!" ”

William, disguised as a staff officer: "Still going to the hangar?" My escape has been exposed, is it still safe there? ”

Zhongxing Shuo flattered: "Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel, since there is no broadcast, then others should not be vigilant." ”

Danquier couldn't stand Zhongxingshuo's flattering attitude towards the HER officer, and he asked William uneasily:

"Let you go, how long will it take for you to bring the army back?"

"I can't contact my subordinates right now, but they should still be near Turin, and I promise they'll be back soon."

"As soon as possible! Shepard is sick now, and it's also an opportunity to take advantage of! ”

The three of them sneakily touched the hangar, and saw that there were mostly technicians in the hangar who were maintaining the body, and there were not too many soldiers, so they were a lot more relieved.

Zhong Xingshuo took out a pistol and handed it to William: "Lieutenant Colonel, we can only send you here." You stole a fighter jet from that place, and I'll open the hangar door for you!" ”

Captain Shepard was so sick from his hard work that he finally couldn't hold on after hearing the news of the captive's escape. He knew that the captives would not stun the guards and run away by themselves, there were traitors on the Osiris!

He sat panting and slumped, rejecting the doctor's suggestion that Apu take him to the hospital room. Because it would demoralize everyone, and he could stay on the bridge and direct the crew to capture the prisoners.

Jessica, a communications soldier, helped him sit on the captain's seat, and such a slight movement actually made Shepard cough painfully several times.

"Captain, you'd better go to the ward!" Jessica was worried.

"No! Ahem! There are spies on board, and it would be bad if they let the captives escape overboard, so notify the hangar and tell them to close the door! ”

The helmsman Yamaguchi reported loudly: "Oh no, captain, just now the hangar door was opened by someone who didn't know who opened it, and a fighter jet left the ship without permission!" ”

"What? So fast? cough cough cough !! ”

Shepard coughed bitterly, he tried to order the traitors to be investigated, but he didn't say a word.

Doctor Apu patted the captain on the back and said to Jessica: "I have to get the ship to the ward quickly, and then you go to the radio and ask Sergeant Anton and Chief of Staff Danquill to come to the bridge and let them both take charge of the overall situation, quick!" ”
