Chapter 275: Mutation
"There are relics of the Ascendant in Telamon?" Fazani asked curiously.
"Yes, yes, it's not a secret, there is indeed a billion-year-old relic of the Ascendant on the edge of our colony, which has been going deep underground, and human archaeologists have done detailed research nearly a hundred years ago. Because it belongs to the border galaxy and the harsh conditions of the planet Telamon, UNDP has no choice but to ignore it since it cannot be developed into a tourist destination. The old man spread his hands and made a funny expression.
"Then why do you think the Walkens are here for ......," Fazani asked.
"I've heard a description of a first-generation colony." Edney nodded and explained, "Before we even recruited a large number of people to establish a planetary colony, a Vulken landing craft had already made some sort of survey of the Ascendant ruins. They also seem to have been helped by a few humans, but don't know why it took a dozen standard years before they made a comeback. Fazzani had already heard from his last words that the old governor had actually made his intentions clear, and he clearly believed the celestial enthusiasts more than the Watner.
......
After seeing off the Governor's Palace personnel at the Spaceport, Fazanni, who returned to the command module, held his cheeks and looked at the real ground data on the holographic projection screen in front of him, where O'Grady and his men were assisting the last colonies to board the three carrier ships.
When they return to Icarus, they can stage a flight that may not have been necessary after a hasty finish.
Whether the Walkens find out or pursue, they will definitely be able to reach the stargate before the other party, and will everything really go as planned...... He couldn't help but sit in his chair and fall into deep thought.
Bald's messiness, the restlessness of the Vulkens, the silent declaration of war and the fierce counterattack, what does all this have to do with this damn relic of the Ascension? And if the Third Fleet had really attacked the unarmed ships of the Vulkens first, the situation that had started since the Bald crisis would have been no accident.
There is no doubt that the machinations of the power-grabbers are beginning to come to light, and that they can keep everyone in the dark with a media blockade, and the damn surprise of Zoroaster is the best example of this, but what are they going to do? And what role did this rescue show, which has been smooth sailing so far, play in this chess game that cannot see through the previous and backward moves?
The chaotic thoughts could not connect a clear vein in the intricate chaos, and the gloomy thoughts were overturned by Nicole who was busy in front of the operating table. Shaw's quick debriefing was completely interrupted.
"It's Fotian, General, Emergency Channel!" Shaw had just finished speaking, and the "Flounder" war intelligence staff officer Torris. Fotienne's anxious face leaped out of the table.
"General Fazzani, the Vulken fleet has just had a new development...... They sent out a dinghy...... Yes, a dinghy. Major Fotien seemed to confirm with his men.
"You're coming for us?" Fazani's brow furrowed.
"No, no, General, it's entering the atmosphere of Telamon, it's a landing craft, it's a landing craft!"
"What?" Fazzani almost jumped up from the command chair.
"Are you going for the colony?" He hurriedly asked.
"Yes, it has been confirmed, and the target direction is precisely towards the colony." Fotien's voice, which had just been quiet, began to match his anxious expression.
"Arrival time?" Nicole. Shaw asked.
"According to the information of the Walken landing craft of the Intelligence Agency...... Fortian instructed his subordinates, and they could see that there were multiple windows in front of the screen, and three or four hands were desperately rummaging. …… With planetary atmospheric data, I need an algorithm! The dark-skinned Major yelled at his men.
"Quick! Fast! All right...... General, the preliminary estimate is about 30 standard points. ”
In just half an hour, they will discover all the illusions! At that time, all the arrangements of the Intelligence Bureau and the General Staff for this operation will be in vain, and the choice between abandoning the colony and fleeing immediately or ...... Fazani pinched his lips tightly with his fingers.
"General, you have to make a decision!" Nicole. Shaw said to him.
But if, as Petrovisky said, it is impossible for the Vulkens to be clever and unaware of the differences in camouflaged boat people, and the Vulkens have been allowing events to unfold without intervening, if this is the case, there is no need to worry about sending carrier ships to receive colonies as planned, but why are they sending landing craft at this time?
"General Fazzani!" Fotian on the screen raised his voice at the same time as Shaw in front of the tactical desk, which made Fazzani, who was deep in thought, seem to be startled, he looked at the screen with a frown, closed his eyes and rubbed his head as he paced through the cabin, and then gave his command almost as Shaw was about to shout again.
"Emergency order to put all ships into a state of Leap Energy Harvesting."
"Notify the four inhabitant ships, enter the established waypoints into the Transition Computer, and once you receive the command from the command ship, immediately start the operation process of retreating back to the Igil system."
"Let all the asteroid zone engineering operators discard all operating equipment and return to their ships as soon as possible."
"Inform all members of Deathwings to enter the official combat readiness, I need all the destroyers to be ready to attack at any time."
"Torris! Continue to track the Vulken landing craft, track its flight trajectory and landing coordinates, and the real-time dynamics of the Vulken fleet will be milliseconds accurate! Even if the ship turns around, I must know! ”
"Contact Colonel O'Grady." Fazani finally calmed down after giving the order, and after he had said this, Shaw had sent all his orders to the fleet, and Major Fotian had saluted and disappeared from the tactical table.
After a while, the screen changed to a face ten times more handsome than Major Fortien. Colonel O'Grady's expression grimaced, as if he knew what had just happened.
"General, please command." He waited expectantly, and Fazani did not disappoint him.
"Colonel, as you already know, the Walken landing craft will soon find out, and all you have to do is return as soon as possible." Fazzani frowned, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one available, he really didn't want to see O'Grady's uncomfortable face.
