XXV. The Future
After returning to his flagship, Spock's body regained his comfort after bathing and changing clothes, but he couldn't be happier. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
During this time, too many things have happened to turn Spock's original simple and clear life path upside down: the life route that Spock has planned for himself is very simple, that is, to fight the Hattu until all the Hattu are wiped out, and then he can retire and live a leisurely life of seclusion until the end of his life. However, all this was completely changed with the final battle against the Hatu people, the Galactic Alliance to which he was originally loyal was not as perfect as he imagined, and the human race was such a humble and terrifying existence in the eyes of the Galactic Alliance, which was almost the same as the attitude towards the Hatu people; It turns out that not only himself, but even other human beings have been under the monitoring of the Galactic Federation, and in this case, it is probably a fool's dream to pursue the development and growth of human beings; And the Hatu people, who have always been regarded as unsympathetic, actually let go of their prince and princess at the last moment, as well as a large amount of DNA data of the Hatu people, although the long interstellar journey is extremely dangerous, but it has left a bane. Spock didn't know why he chose to do so at the time, maybe there were too many facts that shook his beliefs, right? In the past few days, my actions are not at all like my previous self, and I can't tell whether they are right or wrong. Looking back now, Spock only felt like it was a mess of things, churning up and down in his brain, and he couldn't figure it out.
In fact, there are more troubles waiting for Spock to deal with - although Major General Piro has protected himself out of friendship, it does not mean that he will still be able to have an advantage in front of the Galactic Alliance military tribunal and the Supreme Council in the future, and how Colonel Gander should deal with it is also a problem. In addition, Major Natasha's position is awkward, in order to avoid suspicion, it is not suitable to meet with him at present, and his grandfather Rick and the robot that carries his consciousness are also a problem, because the Type 4 ground attack robot of the Hatu Star People was completely designed with peaceful use in mind, so its energy system and weapon system are parallel, and it is impossible to restrict the operation of its weapon system without cutting off the energy source, so in the eyes of the other personnel on the ship, Rick is as unreliable as a time bomb, and house arrest is inevitable, Despite Spock's best efforts, it was impossible to ignore the psychology of the entire ship's crew. With this in mind, Spock took out a fine bottle of Gukarna's spirits from the wine cabinet, opened the cap, and took a big sip.
The burning sensation of alcohol extends from the throat to the stomach, and the wine is never used to solve the problems of the mind, but it can be used to temporarily escape the chaos of thoughts. Half-lying on the bed, Spock continued his work of emptying the bottle.
"Your Excellency, may I come in?" The voice of Major General Piro rang out outside the door.
"Please come in." Spock replied casually.
Major General Piro immediately pushed open the door and walked in, and when he saw Spock's appearance, he couldn't help but smile: "You really have a lot of leisure." ”
Spock raised his hand and threw the bottle to Piro, who took it and took a sip, then jumped over and sat down next to Spock, saying, "How long have we not had a drink together?" That was after the Battle of Van Frieders, right? ”
"Fart! Don't you count the time before the war in the Migonal system? ”
"Can that drink be considered alcohol? The wine of Mikonar is almost like urine. Piro shrugged off Spock's rebuttal: "You don't drink hard alcohol without trouble, and it seems that the problem you are facing now is more troublesome than letting the enemy fleet of Van Vriedel escape, right?" ”
"That time, that time was purely depressing, okay? Can I, a little colonel, sway the battlefield? I can't stop it from being easily slipped away by my opponent, and if I had been given another two hundred warships, no, one hundred and fifty, the situation would have been very different. ”
"So what's your problem now? Your future? The future of Major Natasha? Or the future of your humanity? ”
Spock smiled at him, "Yes, but it's not quite right. I don't know what I'm worried about. To tell the truth, the Hatu people are gone, and even if I die, I will be blinded, and even if the Galactic Alliance sentences me to death, at most I will be ruined. Major Natasha, she's an executive officer's order, at most it's a bad record. ”
"And what about your relationship with her?"
"What feelings? I don't have much of her, and if I get shot, I won't be dragging anyone down. Besides, I'm not like Hudson or my grandmother, it's too tiring to take on the fate of all mankind alone, and I think I can't do this kind of thing, after all, I'm just going to fight. ”
"But people like your grandmother and Lieutenant Hudson, who were just ordinary people before the invasion of Earth, involuntarily took on the responsibility of continuing humanity and made it all the way through."
Spock squinted at Piro and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Piro rolled his eyes and said, "I've drunk too much, and I probably won't remember anything when I wake up with the following words." The High Command of the Galactic Alliance Fleet has just given me a top-secret order - to immediately detain Vice Admiral Spock and escort his command team back to face trial after purging the remnants of the Hatu planets on Earth. It seems that they don't know about Colonel Gander yet. ”
"On what charges are they going to arrest me?"
"Treason. It seems that they have already grasped a considerable amount of evidence of the battle of Bihongxing, and they are ready to attack. In addition, I am afraid that I will have to present the recording of today's conversation between Your Excellency and Colonel Gander to the Command, this conversation is obviously very bad for you, although it is Colonel Gander who leaked the secret, but I am afraid that they will not let you go, including Major Natasha and the robot. ”
Spock nodded, "Colonel Gander will probably be accused of disobeying the orders of his superiors and attempting to rebel, right?" What about you, and the soldiers? ”
Major General Piro smiled bitterly: "Those soldiers will probably be given a silent order, as for me, I am afraid that I will be transferred to an idle post after the review, and I will live a life of being watched in the future." ”
"Then you didn't come to me just to tell me the bad news, did you?" Spock had heard the true voice of his heart in Piro's words.
Piro laughed silently and said, "I still can't hide it from you." People like me are the simplest, if you beat me, I will beat you. If I am blindly beaten, it will never work. ”
"Do you want to start a rebellion?"
"Hahahaha, am I a fool in your eyes? Such a hasty rebellion would not have any followers at all, and in the face of the Galactic Alliance fleet, how large an armed force would be enough? Major General Piro's words hit the nail on the head to point out the infeasibility of such an act.
"I'm glad you're not stupid, but I don't expect anything more positive." Spock said as he took another sip of his wine.
"Have you ever thought about escaping?" Piro suddenly straightened up.
"Escape?" Spock felt that he must be looking at Piro as if he were looking at an ancient creature that had long since gone extinct. In fact, what Piro said was indeed like a dream, and it was a fantasy to flee in front of a galactic alliance fleet.
Piro spat out a gulp of wine and said, "It's still possible, but once we set sail, it's hard to say." ”
