The α galaxy of Centauri has a nebula filled with streams of energetic particles and various rays, and among these nebulae, there are several safe passages - about the shape of a cross. It is said that hundreds of years ago, human beings built a cosmic outpost in the center of the "cross", relying on the natural barrier formed by the nebula and the "cross" shaped channel.

This is the Southern Cross Outpost.

But in my mind, the outpost or something is just a tiny space satellite. As a result, when the Donghu passed through the southern channel of the Southern Cross Gate Channel, what appeared in front of me was a huge space base built on asteroids.

"Is this embarrassing to call a sentry?" At this time, I had mixed feelings.

"It was really just an outpost." The captain looked at the angle of the asteroid outside the porthole and sighed, "At that time, the human race did not have the strength to hit here, and now the human race has returned." So an outpost developed like this. ”

Outside the porthole, the pomegranate-like irregular asteroid is almost covered in steel on the outside. The asteroid is not very large, only about ten times the size of a battleship, but the battleship ports and various resource platforms that have been extended can be described as mighty and domineering.

In short, the Southern Cross outpost seemed to be a reliable haven.

There were about a dozen warships anchored at the Southern Cross outpost, all repairing in the harbor, and they all looked as if they had just returned from the front. However, none of them looked as badly damaged as the East Lake. Now standing by the porthole of this viewing platform, you can clearly see all kinds of miserable images on the armor of the East Lake that have been twisted and scorched black because of being hit.

The captain had already spoken to the Southern Cross outpost before, and completed the polite procedures before the entry of various warships, and the next step was to let the crew sail the battleship into the port under the guidance of the Southern Cross Outpost.

In the conversation between the captain and the commander of the outpost, I was able to judge some information a little.

First of all, the East Lake was originally going out with the battleships that stayed on the outpost harbor, but the East Lake did not return to the outpost with them. The fleet engaged in a battle with the Demon fleet at the Earth-Moon gravitational equilibrium, and as a result, neither side got anything.

But the purpose of the alliance was achieved.

Because the main purpose of the alliance is to recover the "ancient people" who were dormant around the earth more than 800 years ago, when the main force was fighting with the demon, the Donghu and several other warships with relatively strong single combat capabilities went to find the "ancient people" who were dormant on the earth or in nearby asteroids.

And the captain of the ship delayed me for some time in order to find me, so that he was alone on the way back.

Is this my fault again......

Well, the captain choked my thoughts when I had them. The captain quite bluntly admitted that he had come to me and woke me up out of selfishness, and bluntly hoped that I would be able to apply my great power to the East Lake...... Even under his command. By the way, I also enjoy the spiritual and cultural benefits I bring, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, the captain also said frankly that he would do his best to protect my safety and keep me from being controlled by the political axe as much as possible.

So the captain is trying to take advantage of me? Judging from the contact in the past few days, I don't think it is like it at all. But since he was honest, I was suddenly willing to be used by him, and the captain was a good man, and I would rather follow the captain than be controlled by the elusive political axe of the alliance.

It only takes a few days to see people's hearts, and the captain gives me the impression that he is so reliable.

In order to keep me by his side, this uncle came up with a way to let me establish a relationship with him, and then he was using his network to make others "take care" of me. Even if I had to join the alliance in the future, I wouldn't be without a backstage.

But there is such a thing as a relationship, it feels really mysterious to talk about it, hey.

Anyway, the captain asked me to listen to his arrangement. But I have reservations, but I am also a normal person with a reading mind, and I have to make my own judgment when necessary.

The captain was taken aback by my decision for a while, and then he ravaged my head with that hand without restraint. By the way, it was also decided that the kinship between me and him was...... Sibling.

It's not a ghost father. Brother and sister, is this going to be lost!

With this strange captain coming to be a "brother", I just felt a shudder. But Uncle Captain only let me endure for a while, and I wondered what would happen after a while. The answer was that after a while I got used to it.

I wanted to say "go to peat" or something to him on the spot. But suddenly I thought, if the captain really wants to use kinship to relieve me, then isn't the phrase "go to peat" scolding me?

Suddenly I feel so tired of talking to stupid futuristic people.

That's how it was decided first. The captain took me as the center and explained to him the reason for the late return of the East Lake.

- Uncle Captain wants to fulfill his friend's last wish and find his "family" from 845 years ago, and his friend's "family" is me. Because it takes time to search, the Donghu returned late. Such a thing in the regular army will definitely be sanctioned, but the identity of the East Lake is a mercenary, so no one will care about this kind of operation.

And the captain "pitied me" and treated me as her sister, and just like that, my identity was submitted to the Alliance. This is my relationship chain from now on.

But according to the captain, he will find a way to modify my file in the future, completely erase the suspicious information that I was as a person in 2017, and strengthen my "brother and sister" relationship with him. This practice has to make me doubt his sister's motives.

In short, it wouldn't be a bad thing to follow the captain's idea in the near future, so I decided happily.

……

The East Lake entered the port area of the Southern Cross outpost, and the outpost had a guide shuttle to guide the warship into the port. With the efforts of the tractor and its own power, the Donghu slowly sailed into the outpost ship harbor. The closer you get to the outpost, the grander the sight becomes.

The huge battleship is fixed in the space by a robotic arm, and countless robots and humans are tinkering in the space, which is a busy scene. The light of the stars in the distance passes through the complex high-tech structures of human civilization, showing the charm of science and technology.

The battleship entered the harbor in a hurry, and after about ten minutes, the battleship finally came to a standstill. The captain directly instructed the crew in the second bridge to stop the battleship at the porthole, lay the gravity anchor, and prepare for the docking of the port ship.

"Let's go." At this time, the captain suddenly patted me, who was lying on the porthole and looking at the scenery outside. He said, "The commander here will come to pick me up later, he is my friend, it's not very good, but you'd better get to know it." ”

"I'm not used to this kind of communication." I'm nervous to see strangers!

"It's okay, it's good if you meet and get to know each other." The captain stroked his mustache, then turned and walked out.
