On June 6, 2183, Normandy SR1 arrived in extraplanetary space in Vommel.

Planet Warmel is located in the Sentinel constellation Hawke system, which is a naturally habitable planet, especially suitable for humans - you must know that the pressure here is 0.9 atmospheres, the gravity of the earth is 0.86, the oxygen content is similar to that of the earth, the average temperature of the equatorial surface is 36 degrees Celsius, and the planet is full of large areas of ocean and dense forest ecology - earthlings can live here without even wearing masks.

When you walk on the sandy beaches of Vormel and watch the shallow waters flood the transparent world, you may even think that this is the Maldives in the Indian Ocean.

Unfortunately, the Sentinel constellation is located in the northern half of the Milky Way, which is within the bounds of the Boundary. In the interstellar environment of war and high crime rates, large-scale construction cannot be carried out; The planet emits a very special kind of interfering electromagnetic waves, making it impossible for small communication devices to link with the buoy network.

These difficulties temporarily shut Wormel from civilization, and he became a beautiful paradise.

It seems that except for the occasional smuggler and drug dealer establishing a foothold here, Warmel is going to be alone forever...... It wasn't until Shepard received a message from the Citadel Council that a special infiltration team of Serarius was in trouble here, and the Citadel was unable to send a fleet to the Boundary, and they asked the Normandy, which happened to be "nearby", to infiltrate and rescue it......

In fact, to put it bluntly - what these politicians are most worried about is not the life or death of the special forces and the Normandy, but what they are most worried about triggering a war with the Realm of the Gods! The foreign policy of the Citadel. It has long since turned from pacifism to cynicism. As long as you can bury your head in the sand, you will never lift it. Whether it's for the current Realm God Field, or for the future Reaper. Nothing less.

...... on the Normandy

"For this mission, I need Ashley and ......" Shepard's gaze swept over Liara, the Asari who was temporarily serving as a civilian; swept past the turian Garras and the Krogan Lex, who were still wounded; But when Anne looked up to meet her, Shepard avoided her gaze and stopped at another member of the Earthlings. "Kayden! Others are ready to support. ”

“Bullshit！” , despite Shepard being the captain and captain, has the right to choose any team member who is suitable for the current mission. And Kayden is also the Starlink Elite, the implanter of the first batch of L3 ability amplifiers. He's both skilled in abilities and technology, and he's a great team player. But Lex the Krogan still made a disgruntled voice that anyone could understand.

None of them. Because everyone knows that Anne is the better choice! Her combat power, support abilities, and experience are definitely irreplaceable at the moment.

Hearing Lex's curse, Cayden's face flushed. Liara was a little panicked and wanted to support Shepard. But I don't know what to do. Most of the rest of the team were silent, because they knew why Shepard didn't choose Anne - Anne and Shepard's relationship had become close since the last argument - maybe the next time they stayed at Arcturus or Citadel, one of them would choose to leave the Normandy, and that person would probably be Anne.

"This is my order." After Shepard finished speaking, he turned around in silence. Leaving the Marine Corps cabin. The rest of the room was silent, and a suffocating depression pervaded the cabin. Unable to bear it, Liara could only follow Shepard away.

As for the other focus of the matter, Anne lowered her head, carefully examined and prepared the equipment on her body, as if she did not hear, no one could see the expression on her face.

"Fack...... I hate all-purpose glue! "Lex found out that he had done useless work. He grabbed his shotgun with his unwounded arm, swore and pushed the pods away, and walked towards the medical pod. The other guy, Garrus, who was more seriously injured than him, was still in a wheelchair, left here by the careless Kroger.

Garras made a look of disbelief as Ashley laughed and stood up to help him push his wheelchair.

Ever since that spard and Anne's quarrel, Shepard had excluded Anne from the last mission to land on the planet Philos - and on that mission they encountered the strange ancient plant Solian! As a result, Lex and Garras were seriously injured on the mission, and Shepard himself returned with a wound. If it weren't for Anne's second team of supporters, it is likely that one of the team members would have been killed......

What made Lex and Garas even more unhappy was that Anne was right - that time, in the process of killing the Solian plants, they actually met the Asari again! It's a disgusting thing - you must know that the villain leader Saren is obviously a Turk, but he doesn't even have a single Turk under him, all of them are TM Asha Libichi...... It's really offensive.

Everyone made excuses to leave the room, leaving the cabin to Anne alone, and no one wanted to meddle in the affairs between the three of them, because between Anne and Shepard, it looked a bit like love to hate, third person to intervene, foot on two boats, scumbag with legs, empathy and love......

"Annie~" When everyone left, Shepard's voice suddenly sounded outside the door. "I want to talk to you...... Just the two of us. Anne heard her whisper, obviously not wanting the rest of the team to know. If Sister Xue gave the order as the captain just now, then she is now coming as a friend, hoping to have a private chat with Anne.

Anne walked to the door, the hatch was not soundproof, and Shepard could hear the hesitation in her steps.

Eventually, Shepard heard Annie's voice say, "I'm sorry, I'm about to start the mission, and I still need to prepare...... Let's talk next time. ”

Sister Xue was silent, she waited outside the door for a few minutes, and then she could only leave gloomily.

*****

So Shepard didn't see that in the room, there was a whole bunch of weapons and equipment spread out - from "Hydra" rocket launchers to assault rifles, from Predator pistols to carbon alloy sabers, from plasma grenades to shield backup batteries, and all the other small things that Dawn could provide - these weapons seemed to be enough to deal with the strength of a regiment!

While carelessly "destroying" Shepard's little heart, Anne loaded these weapons and equipment on the hanger, and stuffed everything that could not fit into the space pocket.

After making these preparations, she opened the hatch and, after observing that there was no one in the hallway, quietly walked out......

As the price of not listening to the lecture, Anne experienced the heavy dà plot several times, but she realized it later. And this time, she finally got a head start on what was going on - this mission was definitely more than just rescuing a Serlar Task Force.

On this planet, Saren has built a large cloning base of the Krogan people. He uses biochemical means to bypass the phage gene, and prepares to mass-produce Krogan soldiers for himself. This qiē was inadvertently discovered by the Serari task force, who were monitoring the movements of the Krogan people. Since the Citadel can't send a fleet to this side, Shepard and the heavily damaged Task Force Serari must find a way to destroy the base on their own.

And once Salen discovers the Normandy, he'll be the first to start his plan - take most of the clones to the next base, or simply start the rampage! Either option would be a disaster for Shepard and the Citadel.

They had to fix this cleanly before Salen could take action!

Eventually, they will make a plan - the sacrificial Task Force Serare, together with a member of the Normandy, will attack the base from the front, attracting the attention of Salen and Geth; And Sister Xue will sneak in with another team member and plant a nuclear bomb in the core of the base......

However, the number of geths they encounter in the base will be more than everyone can imagine! Moreover, Saren and the "overlord" attached great importance to this base, and constantly sent troops to attack, and did not give up until the last moment.

Therefore, when Shepard and his team members went through a lot of trouble to install the nuclear bomb and summon the "Normandy" to come to pick it up, they painfully found that she could only choose to save one of the two team members - Kayden, or Ashley!? (To be continued......)
