Chapter 1360: Old Smoking Gun
Abbather walked back to the console, clicked a few buttons, and reinserted the neural tree into a Petri dish filled with Zero-Element Solution. As far as he was concerned, it didn't matter whether that face was black A, white A, blue A, or anything, he only cared about what the Supreme Council had done to it and what kind of inspiration it could give him.
Neither Valentine nor Abbather found out, Bulver? Arnold's gaze did not fall on the nerve tree, but instead kept watching Tang Fang leave. Although he didn't speak the whole time, his eyes were a little unusual.
………………
After returning to the captain's room, he fell asleep on the bed without even taking a shower, and even the original plan to calm down and analyze the strength of the battleship of the main army of the agent was stranded.
He didn't expect that a single hostage exchange incident would provoke many developments, first the sudden appearance of the hybrid asteroid of the Supreme Council in the high-altitude orbit, then the incurrence of the Queen of Blades, and finally the head-on conflict between the main army of the Agents and the hidden forces of the Asgot Region, revealing the identity of the Abyss Knights...... He was exhausted by all these developments, and he was under tremendous pressure, both physically and psychologically.
When he fell into a deep sleep, the dreadnought-class fortress ship ignited with all its thrusters, left the high-altitude orbit of Tanda Star as fast as possible, and turned into a narrow streamer into virtual space.
………………
I don't know how long it has been, Tang Fang woke up from his deep sleep. Although the body was very tired before going to bed, and the brain was muddy, but this sleep was not comfortable, during which I had many dreams, chaotic and messy, one moment was the picture of himself and Claire encountering the pursuit of members of the Divine Armed Forces, the next was the evil spirit of the Queen of Blades inserting a bone spur into her chest, and the other was the scene of Tasada fighting Nidhogg...... In short, it is disorganized.
He struggled to open his eyes, rubbing his two sideburns with his hands that were faintly swollen, his eyes staring at the ceiling in a daze. While combing through the battles in the interior of Tanda, he recalled Zagara's letter.
The Queen of Blades has designed and framed him in the Montesque Star System Battlefield and the Tanda Star Battlefield one after another, and now there is a chance to counterattack......
Of course, if you decide to do it, then you must finish the battle and be fully prepared before acting.
Just as he was lying on the bed, the ceiling suddenly turned black, and an email symbol appeared in the lower right corner.
Speaking from the heart, Emma has done a good job of compiling the Ipsilonian system, and many details and functions have been localized and suitable for human manipulation.
Using the voice-activated system to open the email, the source showed that it was sent by Yuffie, presumably because he was worried about disturbing his rest, so he used this silent method, rather than calling him directly to wake him up.
Of course, it was not a matter of urgency, but Hoffman contacted Kelenia through official channels, telling them that Jaeger had contacted him through military channels some time ago, hoping to find Aros, his biological father, to have a good talk.
Thinking about the fact that more than a month has passed, no matter what Aros said to Jaeger at the beginning, this is enough time for a person to regain his composure and look rationally at the problems he once faced emotionally.
For the veteran's character, he doesn't know whether to say good or bad, in short, he is definitely not strong in dealing with interpersonal relationships, especially in the face of his own son, maybe even the veteran himself doesn't know how to face it, let alone untie the knots in the hearts of young people.
Now seeing Jaeger's reaction, he is still very relieved, because this kid did not inherit his father's quiet and stubborn character, can correct those mistakes in time, and is very brave to face his own shortcomings.
He was about to get up from the bed when a small fluffy thing came out from under the blanket, sniffed near his squeaky nest with its nose straight, sneezed hard, and jumped out of bed with a puff of smoke, running out of nowhere.
"This little thing......" he said with a helpless expression, thinking that it was better for Freya. No matter how many days he hadn't taken a bath, or even if he had just come out of the phagosome polymer body, Xiao Nizi would not dislike it, and at most told him in a very serious tone, "Tang Fang, it's time for you to take a bath." ”
The little thing that ran away was a pet mink, Emma told him that he was an Angel mink, and I didn't know if it had a name, but I knew that it was a gift from Tang Yun to herself, hoping that she would not be lonely with it.
In fact, Captain Tang knew very well that his sister's catty was two, and the little girl was sympathetic to him, it was clear that she had had enough fun, and she couldn't harden her heart and throw it away, and she was embarrassed to push it to the staff of the Dillard star system, so she simply pushed the trouble on her head. Anyway, there are so many staff on the Dreadnought-class fortress ship, just find someone to take care of it.
On the one hand, this shows that she is very caring, and on the other hand, it is also conducive to creating an image, at least the staff of the Dillard star system have no way to describe her with words like "willful", "unreasonable", and "fox and tiger".
From this point of view, she is indeed "progressive" a lot more than when Zhou Ai was there.
He didn't have the heart to tease the pet mink, and since Claire left, the task of cleaning the captain's room had been handed over to Yuffie and the housekeepers. Stuff like feeding pets and tidying up the house are a lot of the time. Although he doesn't like people entering his private space, who keeps him busy and is a lazy master.
Stretching for a long time, he got out of bed, took a shower, sorted out his personal image, and then went to the cafeteria to get two baked cakes, and walked to the members' rest area.
Speaking of which, Kylinia was also careful, for fear that he would make do with his diet, so he specially sent the former chief chef of the Morningstar, who could cook Chinese food, to the dreadnought-class fortress ship to provide him with Chinese food.
At this point, Captain Tang felt that he still had a privilege, and although Yuffie and the others did not buy Chinese food, he still felt that the staff who spent their lives with coffee, burgers, and pasta every day were pitiful. People always have to learn to try new things.
Aros's room was in front of the crew rest area, and upon arriving at his destination, the status light at the door showed that the veteran was still resting inside, not going to the bridge or the training room.
He stepped forward and tapped the doorbell.
In about half a minute, the door opened, and the veteran's face appeared in front of him. Seeing no surprises, he opened the door and turned to go inside.
Of course, Tang Fang would not be polite to him, followed him into the room, sat down on the sofa, and frowned.
The smell of smoke in the room was a bit loud, and there was a half-cut cigar on the table, which looked like it had just been extinguished for a short time. Even the moonlight butterfly in the innermost fish tank looked lifeless, thinking that sooner or later one day he would be abused to death by this unqualified master.
As he told Yuffie, putting fish tanks, flowers and plants in the veteran's room is definitely a serious waste of resources. While veterans don't do unspeakable things like Howson and Churchill, they certainly don't bother to take care of them.
Yu Fei replied: "In that case, then take away the ornamental plants in the captain's room and the Anglo mink sent by Tang Yun, you don't have time to raise them anyway." ”
That's when he wisely chose to shut up.
"I've noticed that you've been smoking more and more often since you left the Lunal star system, and that's not good." Nova was very unhappy with second-hand smoke, and as a woman, she hated the pungent smell of cigars------ at least for her, it was definitely more annoying than bad perfume. He's different, he's genuinely worried about Aros's health. Of course, it's not that the veterans are afraid of damaging their lungs, after all, after bathing in the blood of the evil eye, the bodies of the three people are a little different from ordinary people, and alcohol cannot have an effect on health, and the same is true for nicotine. The reason why he said this is because this kind of long-term behavior can have a negative impact on people's psyche, and smoking cannot relieve inner depression, and many times only contribute to mental stress.
Aros glanced up at him, picked up the clear square cup on the table, and poured the water into his mouth.
Water trickled through the somewhat rough lips and fell into a cloud of water on the coffee table.
Veterans have an advantage over Hausen, Churchill and others, and rarely use wine to drown their sorrows. When he failed to "have a heart-to-heart" with Jaeger in Lunal Space Prison, he only drank alcohol once, and he never even got drunk, and he returned to his original appearance the next day.
"You're here this time...... It's not to remind me how to take care of my health. After saying this, he subconsciously wanted to take the half-smoked cigar, but he paused halfway through his hand and retracted it again.
Many times in front of veterans, the words of the captain are still very effective...... At least Miss Nova doesn't have such preferential treatment, and Aros is used to ignoring her cold eyes and complaints.
Tang Fang smiled, stared into his eyes and said, "Yuffie received a summons from Kylinia not long ago...... Hoffman had previously contacted Dillard and said that Yeager wanted to see you as soon as possible. ”
Aros's originally calm face changed, and his eyes suddenly widened a lot, staring at his face closely.
"You heard you right, Jayger...... He wants to see you. He repeated.
The stiff lines on the veteran's face began to melt, and his expression softened. I don't know if I think of Jaeger or Valeria, but in short, I am in a state of distraction.
He didn't lose his voice because of excitement like some people, and his body didn't shake violently, and he seemed calmer.
Tang Fang knew very well that the veteran's current mood was far from being as calm as he appeared, he was just pretending to be calm. From the time he first met the emissary of the Silver Eagle Regiment in the Talida star system, knowing that he also had a son living in heaven and earth, he was no longer the former Aros, first a father, and then a veteran of the battlefield.
"Next, the Dreadnought-class fortress ship will turn around and go to the Lunar star system, and you go to see Yeager ...... I can also live a few comfortable days in Hilde. When he said this, he remembered the villa in the middle of the lake that Kukulkan bought, the picture of the sunset jumping on the surface of the lake, and the big, fat, tender carp in the lake.
Aros nodded, but reached out and took the half of the cigar from the coffee table and put it in his mouth, lighting it with the pure gold lighter.
Many times, people are accustomed to something, whether it is in a tense moment, a happy moment, or a sad moment, they can't help but express their emotions in a certain way.
For many Catholics, this thing is a cross on the chest. For those who have started a family, it may be a pendant or wallet with a family photo embedded in it. For Aroth......
He sighed, it seems that there is no way for the veteran to quit smoking in this life. He had to tell Nova about this serious problem, either get used to it or avoid it.
Aros inhaled the cigarette into his chest, passed it through his lungs, and then spit it out of his mouth, looking at the churning smoke stream into the air, his originally lost face had a touch of determination, which could also be said to be courage.
Just like Tang Fang sighed, the effect of cigars is certainly not as good as that of stimulants, but when fighting, it will give him more security. When he encounters difficulties and needs to think, it will quickly restore his calm and sanity.
Tang Fang didn't say much, got up from the sofa, walked out of the door, and said without looking back: "If it works, let him come to the Morning Star Cast." ”
The veteran didn't speak, and Tang Fang didn't persuade much, waving his hand and leaving.
Aros is now a different identity than before, and as a father, he must think about his son's future. Whether to spend their lives in peace and silence in the space prison of the Silver Eagle Regiment Lunal Star System, or to come out to see the wind and waves, through the rain and snow, that is what their father and son need to discuss and communicate.
In any case, he will respect the choice of the veteran.
Arriving at the bridge, Nova was browsing through detailed footage of the hybrid asteroid and the Three-Eyed Jörmungård captured by the Dreadnought Fortress during the Battle of Tanda.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Miss Agent didn't look back and said, "I think the Queen of Blades has made a major breakthrough in the fight against the Devourer. ”
Fortunately, Nova is not a cautious person, and yesterday's little temper disappeared after a night, and she did not continue to be angry with him.
Relieved by this, he walked up to her and looked at the sight of the three-eyed Jörmungandr struggling and writhing under the tentacles on the surface of the hybrid asteroid and said, "The epic creatures have many Ipsisaurian genetic fragments in their DNA, which obviously increases their resistance to phagosomal polymers. Now that the Queen of Blades has gained access to the Library, as a Worm King comparable to the Dominant, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be inspired by certain materials to make a breakthrough in the fight against phagosome polymers. ”
The Queen of Blades is a guy who can't get her revenge, and when the Supreme Council kicked her Zelda, of course she would kick it back exactly and add some interest. In fact, when he was in the Lagrass star system, Thomas? When Oncoru told him that the swarm was scouring the High Council's facilities for previous biological experiments, he thought that the Queen of Blades was gathering information about phagosomes and preparing to attack the High Council.
