Chapter 431: Doubts and Reflections
"Has this ever happened before?" After the Theron man was dragged away by the team members, Shen Chao turned his head and asked. But before Admiral Kane could prepare to reply, a hurried bell came from a landline on the wall next to them, interrupting their conversation. Admiral Kane heard the bell and quickly picked up a few words, and then hurried to Cambridge.
"What's wrong?" Shen Chao asked.
"There's an accident on the Calacica, I don't know the details yet, but you need to come with me ......," she said, and she took Shen Chao to her bridge.
Two minutes later, they appeared together on the bridge of the Pegasos, which was noticeably wider and brighter than the one of the Ka. The various equipment around it is relatively new.
At this time, except for the communication department, which was very busy on the bridge, people from other departments all paid attention to Shen Chao and his guards, intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Chao had just enjoyed this kind of treatment on the card ship.
His current disguised identity is that these people are compatriots from Earth, and this identity is very attractive to the people in this fugitive fleet. However, he soon noticed that this was not the only reason people were looking at him, as he heard someone in the distance whispering a few words about the sudden situation that had just happened on the ship.
After hearing this, he quickly understood what was happening. It turned out that a few minutes earlier, around the same time that he had taken down the Theron Assassin, there had been a security incident in the Calactica's airport. The team members who stayed there opened fire while people were trying to loot supplies, killing the "civilians" in both fleets!
Hear here. Shen Chao basically guessed what should have happened. First of all, his team members are not going to do anything to kill civilians. There is no doubt about this, every member of the team has been trained in the strictest firing discipline. They would not have opened fire on civilians had it not been for the actual threat to their own security. Even the civilians in this fugitive fleet are endless.
The civilians in the fleeing fleet had neither the motive nor the ability to threaten the heavily armed expedition members. So if the shooting is real, then they must have shot dangerous militants or, more likely, they killed the Theron who had tempted them!
This was a situation they had anticipated before they came, and after they landed on the ship, the Theron hidden in the fleet would inevitably send someone to test them, and the members of the expedition knew all types of Theron people.
In such a situation, the Theron people who thought they were well disguised would be noticed as soon as they appeared in their field of vision. And once they do something that is a serious threat to the team members or the crowd at the scene. Naturally, the team members could not ignore it, and it turned into a shooting......
After hearing a few whispers, Shen Chao only used a moment to make up such a scene, and after he opened the communication module on his universal tool and contacted it. His conjecture was also confirmed by the team members who stayed on the ship.
According to them. At that time, several Theron people who had come to test the expedition were noticed by them as soon as they boarded the aviation deck of the Ka ship. A few of the first team members to discover them marked a few Theron on the team's common HUD interface. After that, the Theron people's every move was under the watchful eye of the team. Originally, the players were just watching their movements. I'm not going to do anything with them.
After all, Shen Chao hadn't decided how to contact the Theron people, but some unexpected situations at the scene made the situation quickly get out of control. The first is that there was a Theron No. 2 who spotted these strange earthlings as if they were spying on themselves.
He realized that he might have leaked his identity. He then tried to pull out the bomb he had prepared in his backpack in an attempt to create a suicide bomb in the crowd. While obliterating himself, he destroys the little mutual trust that has just been reached between the earthlings and the fleet.
This was the main plan that he and several other Theron had prepared before they set off, and most of them, including this guy who was about to blow himself up, didn't know that the reborn ship behind him had been destroyed, so his actions were resolute, so he was beaten into a sieve by a few team members who discovered his small movements without any suspense.
Another of his accomplices, a Theron No. 4, was knocked to the ground for the same reason. And the No. 1 Theron man who planned this qiē was also caught red-handed by the team members. Objectively speaking, the crisis handling ability of the left-behind players is still good, and their appearance is nothing to blame.
But the problem is that the fugitive fleet does not know that the people killed and captured by the expedition are Theron, so after this incident, the armed men of both sides are locked in a standoff. Ka Jian also asked to call Shen Chao immediately for an explanation.
After Shen Chao got the intercom, he first listened to Adama describe the situation at the scene. It turned out that the armed confrontation between the two sides had been temporarily lifted, and he first ordered the officers and men of the Ka ship to retreat. Hearing this, Shen Chao breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, Adama could see that his people had no malicious intent.
But before he could jump to the next thought, the voice of President Rothlin suddenly appeared in the communication channel, and listening to the voice, her communicator was obviously snatched from Adama. In the channel, she strongly asked Shen Chao to give her an explanation, and her tone was not as polite as before.
"Calm down, Madam President. I had just subdued a Theron Assassin in the captain's quarters of the Pegasos. I can't answer you right now about this incident. But I can assure you that my people will not kill innocents, and if they do, then that person is definitely a security threat. Please wait where you are, I will do my best to rush back to your ship......" After speaking, Shen Chao hung up the communication.
After putting down the communicator, he shook his head. Then he smiled self-deprecatingly. He really didn't expect that he could encounter such frequent emergencies in just 2 hours of contact with the fugitive fleet, was there something wrong with his own contact method, or was it that the humans and Theron people in this plane were dying so frequently?
Just as he was thinking this, Admiral Kane approached and said, "Thank you for saving my life." I didn't have time to thank you just now. If it weren't for you, I might have been killed by that Theron bitch......" Her words made Shen Chao feel a little better, reminding him that there are still normal people in this fleet.
After this, Shen Chao bid farewell to Admiral Kane and returned to the airport port of the Galactica. Here, he spent a few minutes learning about the whole incident from the team members. Sure enough, most of the details of the matter were the same as he had previously guessed. The Therons failed in their attempts to launch a terrorist attack, which was effectively stopped.
After figuring this out, Shen Chao looked at the No. 1 Theron they had arrested. At this time, the white-haired old fellow was pretending to be pitiful and innocent. A vigorous defense said that he was innocent.
According to the remaining team members, the Theron had called for help to the surrounding crew members of the ship after being captured, and for a time caused the crew members of the ship to confront them in confusion. Hearing this, Shen Chao had to feel sad about the intelligence of the crew of the card ship and even everyone in the entire fugitive fleet.
These Theron have been lurking in their fleet for a year. During this period, multiple rounds of sabotage and interference operations were planned and carried out. But until today. They don't yet know what these Theron people look like.
Of course, there is an element of Dr. Portal's knowingly failing to report and deliberately muddying the waters. However, the Ka ship and even the fugitive fleet have not been able to effectively prevent this destruction until now, and this is a matter of ability.
Thinking of this, Shen Chao began to have doubts about the personal ability of the captain of the card ship, Adama, although in the original plot of BSG. This character is a perfect soldier and father figure, arguably the soul of the entire series.
But from the time Shen Chao boarded his battleship to the present, he only saw the side of Adama constantly compromising with Luo Silin's demands, but could not see that he had any ability to deal with political affairs independently. From this point of view, Admiral Kane made a much better impression on him.
Also a capable soldier, Admiral Kane does not seem to have those concerns of Adama. She obviously didn't buy the pocket-sized democratically elected government within the fleet that Rothlin had created, and dared to wrestle with the other side. Maybe when I'm ready to reveal my identity to them, I should have a showdown with her first...... Shen Chao couldn't help but think like this.
Prior to this, Shen Chao had always preferred to have a showdown with Adama after gaining an in-depth understanding of the situation of the fugitive fleet. After all, he is the most decent person in the entire BSG series. For the sake of the overall interests of the fleet, he dared to carry the black pot, be black-shot, and be scolded.
Ordinary people of high status do not have such responsibility. Therefore, Shen Chao has always liked this character and tends to recruit him into his expedition. But now, he's not quite sure that's what he wants.
No matter how good Adama's personal ability and character are, he will always have Rothlin and his cheating son by his side. It's impossible to ask him to disassociate himself from these guys with negative IQs, so the careless Admiral Kane may be more in line with his recruitment requirements in comparison.
Back to the present, after stabilizing the situation between the two sides, Adama brought someone over to ask Shen Chao to release him. At this time, Shen Chao was no longer as angry as he was a few minutes ago. He calmly explained the basis for his team's previous shooting, and pointed out that the old man in front of him was a Theron man.
Adama was skeptical of his claims, but promised to investigate the matter carefully. Shen Chao didn't say anything more when he saw that his attitude was so perfunctory, but after handing over the Theron prisoners to the other party and instructing his doctor to perform an autopsy on the other two corpses, he left the ship and returned to the Budapest.
The appearance of the human fugitive fleet disappointed him a little. Fortunately, they weren't their only choice, and during the visit, several stealth ships broke away from the queue under his orders and headed for the battlefield where humans and Theron had fought before, and if nothing else, they would soon find out. (To be continued......)
