Chapter 249: The World of Reunion
The Overlord Reaper battleship, and the geth troop carrier fleet, are hidden within the asteroid belt within the Voyager system.
Their bows were facing two astronomical units away, the emerald green planet that roamed among the stars, and that was their target, the human colony of Eden.
"Commander, I have checked the patrol information of the nearby star fields in the military filing of the Citadel...... Use your ghost permissions. We are sure that no fleet will pass by here in 72 hours. In addition, a trading ship of the Wallers, which had recently arrived, was temporarily detained on the Nick space station under an excuse. An Asari entered the bridge of the battleship and came up behind Salen and said.
She quietly observed Captain Salen, who was still standing as usual, with his back to the visitor. Ever since boarding the strange battleship, it seems that Commander Salen has spent most of his time standing in front of the porthole, looking out in contemplation.
"Commander, our next goal is ......" After about a minute of silence, the Asari had to ask on their own initiative.
"Go to Eden, there is a message from the Protheus." Salen's hoarse voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her. The pale finger of the Turkian pointed at the straight "beacon" stacked with the goods on the holographic screen next to it. "I feel that it will tell me a clue about the Holy Way!"
"That location is in the airport outside the Star Alliance colony, and it is difficult for us to get the Proxian relics without alarming the human race."
"Human ......" Saren's eyes reflected on the porthole. It became eerie. "That self-righteous stupid people, I'll teach them a lesson...... Let the geth not spare his hands and attack the human colony directly! Destroy every creature in sight. β
"Commander. None of us like humans, but attacking a colony can make things out of control! Asari retorted excitedly.
"It has nothing to do with my dislike of humans, although I love killing them!" Salen's voice, like metal grinding, was slow and rough. "We can't expose until we find the 'Holy Way', including my 'Overlord' battleship! So anyone who has seen me and this ship. Must be extinct! Let the geth do it...... That's an order! β
"Yes, Commander." The Asari could only salute helplessly. Turned away from the bridge.
After the Asari were gone, the empty bridge fell silent again. Salen stood straight by the window, looking out, as if he would stand like this forever. After a long time. Suddenly, a loud voice, coming from every corner of the bridge, from every device, said, "She is very dissatisfied with your orders. β
"I don't need her satisfaction," Salen's yellow eyes shrank, "I just need her to obey!" β
"I can help you make her ...... Be more obedient. The voice seduced.
"No, you don't! I think you remember our consensus...... You won't educate my menβunless I command you to do so! Salen warned in a loud voice!
"Hehe~ Yes, that's our consensus." The voice, like a giant creature speaking, was slow, roaring, and oppressive. "But that's not necessary. Life. It will be ruined in the end! β
"No, you've failed, you're not always right!" Saren said excitedly into the air. "You've lost control of the Divine Citadel, haven't you? Otherwise, you don't need the 'Holy Way' of the Protheus to enter the Citadel, and that's the proof!" β
"It was just a small mistake."
"I will prove that creatures and reapers, should be complementary to each other's needs! We still have the value of saving, and your goals need our help! β
"We'll see." The "Overlord" Reaper battleship finally said.

"This is Tsumiko Poison Island, my assistant and secretary. This is Tully. Zola, our companion. It's also the mechanic I found. Lu Yuan took Tali back to his residence, which he had bought in the Eden Colony (which brought him a green card). After entering the door, I happened to see Poison Island Tsuneko in a maid costume greet her.
Lu Yuan hurriedly introduced them to each other, and then handed Tali to Poison Island to be placed. He took off his coat and shirt, tossed it aside, and headed straight for the bathroom. "Buddha, I feel like I've been in alcohol for three years......"
It can be said that since the crossing, Lu Yuan has always been very self-controlled, and he has never drunk so much wine, even in the Caribbean, which is full of drunkards. Not to mention that those names are "wines", which are actually synthetic chemicals that stimulate the taste, and there is no ethanol in them.
The reason why I ended up getting drunk was partly because of the atmosphere...... There are modern people all around, no dwarves, no orcs, no paladins, no 16th-century pirates, and youkai who have lived for thousands of years but claim to be 17 years old...... It made him feel as if he had returned to the time before the time crossing, very comfortable. And...... It's a pre-war relaxation! Now he feels that when he wakes up, all his thoughts are thrown away, and he is extremely energetic!
"That, Lu Jun ......" Poison Island shouted in vain behind him, but he could only watch Lu Yuan rush into the bathroom.
"Hah, forget it...... Sooner or later, they'll get back together. Tsukiko Poison Island gave up her efforts in frustration. She struggled to sort out her feelings, then turned her head to Tali with a smile. Zola said, "Lu Jun told me that you would come, but I didn't expect it to be so late...... Shall I show you your room first? I think you need to take a break first. β
Noticing that Tali was still carrying a huge backpack that looked heavy, and that a sense of exhaustion was haunting her (the after-effects of taking care of the drunk), she immediately empathetically asked Tali to rest first.
For the time being, Lu Yuan's new crew can only stay on the ground, because the "New Alona" has been loaned out, also to prepare for the next war. According to Lu Yuan's arrangement, it is best to let all the engineers on the mothership take turns to take a "travel vacation" before the war arrives - use the best ship to take them to the best place and have the most luxurious trip!
Maybe it's because for the next war, all the foreshadowing that can be laid has been exhausted, and when the showdown comes, Lu Yuan's certainty is not 100......
"That'...... Is that a work uniform? Can I not wear this?! When she was taken upstairs, Tali, who was walking behind Poison Island, couldn't help but stumble and whisper. I don't mean anything else! But you know, I'm a Quarian (gesturing with both hands in a quotation mark) - the kind of person who dies without armor. Well, the shocked Tali didn't even hesitate to complain to herself.
Quarians have lived on ships for a long time, have low immunity, and need to wear armor at all times to isolate themselves from the inside and outside.
But Tali said it in such a hurry because she found that although Poison Island Tsuneko's costume looked beautiful, the skirt was so short that it was still above her knees! Kankan can only cover his hips...... Especially when going upstairs, the hills under the maid's skirt with lace are undulating, revealing a faint white and delicate skin, and Ying's long legs wrapped in stockings, so that the whole person of Poison Island Tsuneko exudes a deadly charm outward!
Even if she was still a big girl, she was firmly attracted to her attention! But if she were to wear it too, Tali would feel ashamed to jump right into the engine! As for infection...... Oh yes, and infection!
"I didn't know that Lu Jun would bring guests back today, this is ...... This is a costume that is exclusive to Lu Jun to wear. Poison Island Tsuneko explained a little shyly. If her dad had known, he would have jumped straight from the building of Ariake Technology.
"Got it!" It dawned on Tully, "It turned out to be the kind of 'secretary' (again gesturing with her hands in a quotation mark gesture)...... Ah, sorry! I...... Nothing else! I'm talking stupid things again...... I'm sorry! β
"You're not wrong, it's that kind of secretary." Poison Island Tsuneko did not shy away from admitting it calmly. Anyway, the days of shamelessness have been long, and sooner or later I will know.
Tully opened her mouth, not knowing what to say - of course, Master Lu's impression in her eyes plummeted! At this time, there was a sudden loud "boom" downstairs, and after the explosion...... There seems to be the sound of submachine gun fire! "What, what's going on?!" Tali looked downstairs nervously, and the location where the sound came from seemed to be the direction of the bathroom where Lu Yuan had just gone?!
"Don't worry, it's just a local conflict, it'll be quiet for a while." Poison Island Tsuneko is still smiling calmly, and the etiquette is perfect. Don't use diplomatic vocabulary for me!
Tali suddenly realized something, isn't it too dangerous to live here?! "I ...... Am I not supposed to live here? Actually, I can stay in a hotel, Uncle Carl gave me some Xingyuan ......"
"You don't have to mind too much, it's just that it's a little noisy today, and it's usually quiet." Poison Island Yanzi comforted, "The space on the second floor belongs to you alone, and the dining is downstairs, and Lu Jun will not come up." We know you're coming, and in addition to the bedrooms, there's a large reference room and tool room, all specially prepared for you, where you can find information about the ships we're going to serve. β
After sending Tali to the door, the battle downstairs seemed to stop.
"Then, please have a good rest first, and if you need anything, you can contact me at any time." Poison Island opened the multitool and gently touched Tully's arm, exchanging contact information. "Keelahselai (May we meet at home)"
"Thank you for your blessings, we are already together in our homeland!" Tali laughed.
Yes, this sentence reminded her - no matter what, Lu Yuan was the great benefactor who saved the Quali race! He was a man whom many Quarians had never met, but who had been friends for the rest of their lives. However, from beginning to end, Lu Yuan never made any requests to the Quarians...... In addition to wanting to be Tali. Zola came to his ship to help with this.
So, let's help him next!
