"It's pretty much what I expected. Shen Chao sat on the sofa with a cup of coffee in his hand. Looking at the records on the electronic report, he sighed.

The information about the shadow broker has been compiled for two days, and he was still holding on to a glimmer of hope in his heart that maybe he could dig up a few more battleship commanders here.

But for now, it seems that it is better to honestly look for battleship operators in the regular army. The Shadow Brokers don't have the kind of talent they need here.

Thinking of this, he flipped through the intelligence panel in front of him, looking for information on other talents he needed. Judging from the data, there are really many talents under the shadow broker, and the types are also all-inclusive.

Not only are the agents of all races under him, but there are also many high-ranking agents who are in high positions in the government and military institutions of all major races.

Even high-security institutions like the Citadel Council have been thoroughly infiltrated. There are nearly 100 of his agents in the Citadel alone, and the highest position of agent is actually second only to the director of the C-SEC General Administration.

Even the Ghost of the Citadel sequence has an indirect command from the Shadow Broker. This is especially incredible. You must know that the number of ghosts of the Divine Citadel is very rare, and there are only more than a thousand in the entire galaxy.

Moreover, the ghosts are all extremely strong-willed and extremely powerful beings. He is the best military talent of all races.

The usual methods of inducement or threats are almost completely useless to these people. It's not easy to bypass the Citadel Council and master a ghost.

According to the information, the ghost of the Asari tribe named Vasseur has a history of cooperation with the shadow broker for several years, the shadow broker provides her with specific information, and the ghost of the Asari tribe helps the shadow broker do some dirty work from time to time.

"Look at this, she's quite capable, you might be able to use it." Seeing this, Shen Chao handed over Vassell's file to the sofa sitting next to him. Custer, who is also sorting out the materials. The two of them have been sitting here for 2 days now.

At this point, they had completed the most important part of the plan, taking over the identity of the shadow broker, and now they had all the background information. The stage of being a qualified shadow broker.

In order to do this, the new shadow agent must be informed of all the important information as early as possible. Shen Chao himself won't have much time to play the role of this intelligence king, so he wants to hand over the main responsibilities and powers of the shadow economist to Custer.

"Another file? All right. Custer took the information panel handed by Shen Chao with some impatience, and there was a floating sphere auxiliary machine beside him, and the Qì people were constantly sending new messages to his universal tool.

This is a highly intelligent VI machine qì person who is responsible for information management. It's called "Griff". It is kept floating by means of a Mass Effect weakening field, and is able to project holograms and make sounds to communicate with people through guò. It has an intelligence level close to that of a human child.

This highly intelligent VI is an important auxiliary tool for the shadow broker, responsible for managing the vast majority of information inflow and outflow from this ship.

According to the previous shadow broker's programming for this little guy. It will treat anyone who appears in this room as a Shadow Broker, and will fully cooperate with the Shadow Broker.

So when Shen Chao and they found it a few days ago, it was very smooth. The little guy was confused after identifying a large group of them as shadow agents according to the program, so he barely reacted at first.

Later, when there were only a few people left in the room, it returned to normal. These two days, with the help of this small machine qì people. Custer has received thousands of files on key agents and tens of thousands of records and reports on important operations.

Custer wasn't a monster in his own right, so he could only read them one by one, and only a few hundred of them had time to read until now.

If there is no small machine next to him, it is estimated that even the former shadow agent is unlikely to remember all this massive amount of personal information.

"Vassell is one of the most important intelligence officers, please read this report first......" Xiao Ji said in a unique tone after seeing the panel handed over by Shen Chao.

He kept circling around Custer's side to get the other's attention. This is also the result of the program. Shen Chao immediately reset his authority after receiving this small machine qì person.

Now, Griff will only identify a few Category A clearance individuals on the expedition as shadow brokers, and will not react to any orders from others present in the room.

"I see, don't let the hell turn in front of my eyes......" Custer replied impatiently, resisting the urge to pull out his pistol and shoot the spherical machine with one shot.

He has been sorting out information for the past two days, and this little machine is nagging in his head at any time, even if he is good-tempered, he is about to be driven crazy by this nagging little machine.

At this moment, the door to the room opened automatically, and Alice, dressed in a cool summer dress, walked past the two guards at the door, walked in with a large bag, and greeted them.

"Hi gentlemen, how are you doing here?" She looked in good spirits, in stark contrast to the two men here who had accumulated stubble.

As she spoke, she threw her bag onto the sofa and walked over and sat on Shen Chao's lap naturally. She's just returned from the base on the main plane.

Since taking over this spaceship, Shen Chao has opened a space-time door, and maintained it here with instruments so that people can travel back and forth between the two planes.

Alice had been helping out on the main plane for the past two days, taking care of the storage of various supplies, and now that she was here, it meant that her job was done.

"I'm fine, but Custer can't take it anymore. Shen Chao immediately put down the information panel in his hand, hugged his girlfriend and replied.

As he spoke, he stretched. Relax your back. I have to say that sorting out information is really boring and hard, especially after two days of non-stop sorting, the pain is almost the same as the punishment.

"I don't have the body of yours, and I'm in charge of the hardest work!" Custer complained, but he only complained that he had asked to be the new shadow agent.

This job was very crucial for their future work, and Shen Chao and the others had accepted Custer's self-recommendation at the planning stage, and set up his identity as a trusted shadow agent.

After complaining about his hard work, Custer threw down the information panel, called Shen Chao to do all the work temporarily, and went to sleep by himself.

And Shen Chao and Alice? After making sure that no one would disturb them for a short time, the two of them lingered here to vent their excess energy...... Thousands of words are omitted below.

Two days later, the Budapest finally arrived on the outskirts of Hagras under the command of Damien. Shen Chao, who had already checked all the equipment on the ship, immediately started the handling of the equipment.

After counting the various resources, they began preparations for the transfer of equipment, and the other day, under the auspices of Hargrave, they had already carried out a major inspection of the entire ship.

The ship's communications and major systems were inspected to determine the feasibility of the equipment transfer. They will move all the ship's communications equipment to the Budapest, which will be used as a new shadow broker base.

The lifting of several large pieces of equipment was the most time-consuming, taking 15 hours to load and install on deck 3 of the Budapest.

The original conference room was converted into a central control room, which was dedicated to the integration of these new communication equipment. Custer will be responsible for directly performing the duties of a shadow broker, mobilizing resources, and arranging follow-up plans with Shen Chao. And now, they're going to start the overall layout of the event.

After putting all the equipment on board the Budapest and completing all the commissioning, Shen Chao returned to the CIC and ordered to leave the galaxy and return to Omega as quickly as possible.

After replenishing the essentials on the Omega space station, they set out on their journey to Eden Prime, only this time, they wouldn't have much to do with the other forces.

At the same time, at the Arcturus space station, Sister Xue and their detachment had also escorted the Collector battleship back to the Arcturus space station safely.

The size of the escort fleet grew larger as they approached the Wing's Controlled Sector, and during this time, Hackett constantly mobilized warships to join the escort fleet in order to deal with any eventuality.

The Collector Battleship had important military, scientific and political value, and as an outstanding military strategist and political strategist, it was only natural that Hackett would not put its safety in the hands of anyone else.

If the news leaks on the way, the Touaregs, the Batalians, and even other races whose military forces are far away from this star sector and the shipping lanes will probably not hesitate to use violent means to seize control of the warship.

Therefore, while deploying troops, Hackett also did a good job of secrecy, and any StarUnited warships sent by him would immediately turn off any long-range communication equipment as soon as they joined the escort fleet.

A few days ago, he even personally commanded his own ship, the Dreadnought Orisaba, with a part of the capital ships of the Fifth Fleet, to greet him, and the expansion of the escort fleet came to an end.

By this time, the number of ships in the escort fleet had exceeded 300. With the ability to deal with any unexpected situation. But the sheer size of the fleet has brought some side effects.

Such a large-scale dispatch naturally attracted the attention of other nearby forces, and the Batarui government was now too weak, so it was only a symbolic protest.

However, the Touareg junta sent an official diplomatic letter asking what Starlink wanted. At the same time, several fleets were assembled on a small scale along the border between the two clans, ready to deal with the unexpected.

To these questions, the Starlink Executive Council's answer was "No comment!" It's just a helpless answer, because these bigwigs don't know what Hackett is doing when he mobilizes the fleet like this. (To be continued.) )
