Chapter 7: Fear
"Crackle Crackle"
The sound of my sister taking a bath came from the shower, which reassured Dwarf Douding.
It's been ten days, except for the occasional meal out, Nataya basically stays in the simulator.
This was the first time Orlando had seen his sister leave the white eggshell.
Watching her sister wrapped in a bath towel walk out of the bathroom, Dwarf Douding ran over with two pears in her hand.
"Sister, are we going to go to that big ring!"
Nataya took a pear, stuffed it in her mouth and bit it, then picked out a blue and white federal standard military uniform from the closet.
It's not because I like it, but the material of this kind of clothing is made of polymer fibers and local flexible metal reinforcement, especially the position of the chest. This enhanced combat suit can be worn to make it a little easier for you to move.
Throwing the military uniform on the bed, Nataya, who had her free hands, took a bite of the pear, and said to the dwarf pee while muttering:
"Yes, so, when I land, I'll go down and have a look. You just stay on the ship and watch the house, and if a stranger wants to break in, you activate the automatic defense system and siren, and don't let people in, do you hear me? ”
Nataya sometimes felt like Orlando's mother, as if she had to keep telling him that this couldn't be done, that it couldn't be done.
"Roger, sister general!" Dwarf Diced saluted Nataya, and ran in the direction of the kitchen with the worm.
The insect is the product of the automatic repair robotic arm that put together the cleaning robot and the miniature patrol machine in the past ten days, and the upper body is a small robot with two manipulators and a pair of cameras like big eyes.
With a "bang", the tiny robotic arm on the wardrobe helped Nataya close the zipper behind her back.
Nataya, who turned around, faced the floor-to-ceiling mirror, pulled her hair in one hand and pulled it up with a strap in the other.
The automatic strand that touches the hair instantly turns the long hair into a neat golden ponytail.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Nataya is still so strange.
He is more than 1.7 meters tall and wears a tight-fitting Federation combat uniform.
A few strands of hair on the forehead on the sides of the face,
The blue-brown pupils and straight eyebrows reveal a completely different fortitude from before the special training.
The long white boots attached to the combat uniform, even if they were thickened to protect the knees, could not hide the slender calves.
"Nataya... You really look like an adult now..."
Still not used to the little girl who grew up in the mirror, she made a military salute in front of the mirror.
"It seems to be a little more handsome than the female pilots I've seen in Laupa before!"
Although I'm not used to it, I have always looked forward to growing up, and I still have a hint of joy in my heart.
"It was reported that the spacecraft received a no-go notice, and the five Sentinel fighters sent an interception message, and in order to avoid misjudgment by the other party, the flight speed has been reduced to inertial driving." The AI of the driver assistance system sent a notification on the loudspeaker next to Nataya.
Nataya, who walked to the cab, turned on the communicator, and the big screen showed the appearance of a middle-aged officer with two mustaches, and when he saw Nataya wearing a military uniform, he gave a serious military salute.
"I am Second Lieutenant Alem, number KLAM887546, --- the 27th Division of the 1st Division of the 1st Army Corps of the Federal Army in Alantuk. If you are passing through, please pass from the detour to the crossing route. If you request to land in Al Antuk, please provide self-proof that Al Antuk is on alert and that your ship is not available in the Laupa Mine registration data. ”
As he got closer and closer to that ring-like artificial planet, the fluctuations of his spiritual vortex became bigger and bigger, and there were too many secrets on his body, and Nataya didn't want to miss the clues of these secrets on his body, not to mention such a strong spiritual resonance.
Fortunately, his identity is very innocent. Nataya, who was like this, saluted like Ensign Alem, and replied, "The Federal Army number LPTSD0713 Private Nana, who is carrying out the evacuation mission of the Third Fleet, has brought detailed data and video materials of the intruders, and requests to land!" ”
When he heard the words requesting landing, Ensign Alem hesitated. I originally thought it was just a passing civilian boat fleeing, but I didn't expect that a soldier appeared in the video, and it was the same person I heard from the Third Fleet Theater Channel and the Laupa internal information network not long ago, the junior soldier of the Laupa Mining Area Garrison, Nana.
"We don't have a backup of your data, and the star network can't be used, please provide a digital identity card, or your individual power armor, after we scan and verify, you can get no more than seventy-two hours of landing recuperation and refueling."
"Okay, please wait" Nataya turned around and walked to the storeroom, put on the muddy water power armor, and returned to the communicator again, "Verification mode has been turned on, please check"
A flash of blue light appeared from the communicator and swept down Nataya's face to the power armor's feet.
"The scanning and information docking is complete, the power armor is the initial registered armor, and the identity of the holder is the number LPTSD0713, the federal private, Nana"
"Muddy waters!" Looking at the golden power armor that received information reading and scanning, Alem's eyes lit up.
"Verified, now adjust the spaceship pilot to ground guidance mode, we will notify the ground crew to guide you to land, and my people will escort you all the way. After landing, please report to the Mechanical Department of the Central Laboratory Area of Alantuk. Private Nana, if you want to stay a little longer, here's my advice to you. After a military salute, Alem's face was initially cloudy, but finally turned a little better at this moment.
"Yes, accept the guided landing mode" Nataya also returned a military salute, and then asked the auxiliary AI to switch to the ground guidance mode.
The screen on the communicator flickers into a thin line and then disappears.
What can be seen on the big screen at this moment is a super-small star that is getting bigger and bigger, and a huge mechanical ring around this super-small star.
"Wow... Sister, it's amazing here! ”
As the magnificent artificial star ring became clearer and clearer, Nataya began to see busy warships and various large transport ships shuttling back and forth, the tall buildings on the star ring could be seen in space, and the sense of oppression brought by the huge could be felt at such a distance, you can imagine how magnificent it would be if you stood at the foot of those buildings.
"Why should we, who are so weak, build and control such a huge thing...
At this moment, Nataya's heart was full of shock and fear.
The ever-expanding star ring, like a dark cloud, shrouded Nataya's heart.
However, the black vortex in the consciousness body rushed up as if it were boiling.
