Chapter 199: The Divine Citadel Tower

OR 3G: "Well, you should know that I'm a member of the immigrant fleet, and I'm working on my "Journey ......" After receiving the prompt, Tully first introduced his provenance. [Updated]

Quarians are interesting when they introduce themselves, they will introduce which ship they were born into in the immigrant fleet before introducing their names.

Shen Chao knows that this stems from their unique social structure. Usually, Quarians spend most of their lives in their fleets of immigrants.

Traveling is a rite of passage that every quarian goes through, and it is only through guò that the physical adult quarian can return to their fleet of immigrants and be accepted by the other tribesmen.

The Quarian colony fleet is huge, and is said to be the largest fleet in the entire galaxy. They have tens of thousands of ships of all kinds, and they are constantly drifting in the galaxy.

In their huge fleet there were both military warships and civilian ships. Of course, there are more dual-use vessels that cannot be classified.

Nearly 30 million people of the entire Quarian race live in this huge fleet. And they have been living in this super-giant fleet for hundreds of years.

Of course, they weren't always like this, and the Quarians were members of the Citadel Council hundreds of years before humanity joined the galaxy family.

As a race that went into space nearly a thousand years before humans, they also had their glory times. It is said that at the height of their glory, the Quarians almost became permanent members of the Parliament like the three major races.

However, their brilliance was very short-lived, and in the course of the development of the Quali people, they created zào and made extensive use of a synthetic humanoid qì to help them expand, this kind of machine qì called "Jace". It was the kind of powerful fighter that Shen Chao had encountered on the main planet of Eden.

The early Quarians used Jace on a large scale as a tool for their expansion and development. As a result, after a long period of improvement and development, the networked Jace finally became self-conscious, and began to selectively carry out the orders given by the Quarians.

Jace's reaction frightened their creators, and in a fit of fear, the Quali people issued a military order and began to try to eliminate Jace.

But the number of Jaces was already very large at that time. There were five times as many as their founders, the Quarians. When his survival was threatened, Jace began an armed revolt.

Eventually, after several big battles. The Quarians lost their home planet and all of their systems in the war with Jace. Only a small fleet led the remnants of civilians and troops out of the home planet.

Jace did not further invade the territory of other races after driving his own creators away. He also ignored the negotiators sent by the Citadel Council.

Eventually, Jace and the other races of the Citadel Council were divided in a de facto sense, and the Citadel Council did not try to contact them again, and Jace did not appear on a large scale in the star fields controlled by other races. Until the attack on Eden Lord a week ago.

The Quarians have also been drifting endlessly since the fall of their home planet, living a self-sufficient life by collecting resources in all corners of the galaxy for processing. Overall, the quarians are now a small race in the galaxy.

After introducing his origins, Tully mentioned himself a few days ago. Information extracted from a memory core of Jace that did not completely self-destruct. I opened my multi-tool and played out the recording where I found myself.

"The operation against the Lord of Eden is a heavy success, and it brings us one step closer to finding the Holy Way......" Salen's voice came out. Hearing this, a smile appeared on Shepard's face, which was exactly the evidence they needed now. …,

After listening to the recording, Shepard immediately informed Anderson of the latest developments, and then asked Shen Chao separately what to do with the quarian.

"You can let her stay, Commander. She is still in a state of being hunted down. We can protect her. And she's pretty good at it......"

Shen Chao is not exaggerating, although in close combat, Tully poses zero threat to him, but her skills are still very good compared to ordinary people. At least it's a lot better than the average Star Alliance Marine Corps.

Shepard agreed after thinking about it. She asked Shen Chao to keep an eye on their witnesses, and then she left Mandy and went to the embassy district to report to Anderson on the latest developments.

A few hours later, Shepard returned to Mandy. Find Shen Chao and Kaiden, and let them join him in the meeting with the quarian. He's already scheduled to get in.

In accordance with the statutes of the Council of the Citadel. Officers who are called to the meeting may bring two heavily armed military members with them. It is said that this tradition was formed during the period of Krogan rebellion, and the specific historical reasons are not yet clear to Shen Chao.

But that means they can and should go to the meeting fully armed. Several of them put on their own armor. Grab your gear, surround Tali in the middle, and head to their destination in full gear.

They first came to the center of the Ring Area, the outer perimeter of the Citadel Tower, and then several of them entered the Citadel Tower after passing through the multi-level security check of the Citadel's [Police" agency C-SIC.

The Citadel Tower is a 2-kilometer-tall tower in the center of the Circle, and due to its location in the center of the Circle, it is not affected by the gravity generated by the spin of the Citadel Station. Gravity here is maintained by the Mass Effect Field.

The main reason why this place can become the seat of the Citadel Council is that it is located here, which can control the entire Citadel. In the plot of an entire generation in the game, this is the key to the fate of the galaxy.

Shen Chao and the others waited in the lounge outside for a while. They arrived ten minutes early. In the break room, they meet another important plot character: Gallas Wakarian.

Shen Chao's first feeling after seeing this Touareg person was high! Unlike in the game, Garras looks to be 19 meters tall in standard Touareg armor, which is not the same height level as Shepard in the game.

After seeing the group, Gueras put aside his talking colleague and ran to them to introduce himself, a typical Touareg with slender limbs and tattoos on his face, a senior police officer at C-SIC.

"Lieutenant Colonel Shepard? I've finally seen you......" Claras explained his identity and responsibilities as the senior police officer assigned to investigate the human allegations against Saleen.

Although he is a Touareg like Salen, he and Salen are completely different people. This Touareg is not only capable, but also has a sense of justice, and is very popular in the Mass Effect series of games.

Now, after meeting Shepard, he introduced the results of his investigation, although he is a very good police officer, his investigation time is very tight, and Saren is a ghost. This made his investigation even more difficult.

This is where the benefits of being a Castle Ghost come into play. Anything Saleen has ever done, he can label it as confidential, which prevents Garras from finding solid evidence of Salen's crimes.

After a few words with Shepard, Garras also noticed Tully behind them.

"I'm sorry, may I ask you, are you Talizola?" "Garras seems to know Tully.

"She's our key eyewitness, what's wrong?" Shepard was suspicious when he saw that he was so interested in Tully. …,

"Oh, nothing, since you found her, I've been looking for her for the past two days, and it is said that she has conclusive evidence of Salen's crimes? Garas explained why he recognized Tully.

It turned out that two days earlier, Garas had received word that he had heard that there was an injured Quarian on the Citadel and that there was evidence that was crucial to his investigation.

However, the Citadel has a population of more than 20 million people, and although there are few Quarians, it is still very difficult to find Tali in this vast sea of people. It was because he couldn't find Tully that he was forced by his superiors to end the investigation.

After a few more minutes, they finally entered the huge Citadel Council Hall, and several people walked through the empty hall to the seats at the end. It's much bigger than the one in the game, and the huge council hall is very empty, and there are only a few dozen people in the entire hall.

Of course, this is just an illusion. There are many emergency passages in the towers of the Citadel, and hundreds of heavily armed soldiers are stationed inside the tower at all times to protect the three councillors in the chamber.

This is the final decision-making body of the Citadel Council, with three councillors representing the Asari, Touareg, and Salari races, who are capable of making decisions on the affairs of the galaxy on behalf of their respective races.

The existence of these councillors is itself a representation of the transcendence of their respective races in the galaxy. Theoretically, the will of these three people has always determined the fate of the galaxy.

Climbing the stairs of hundreds of steps, they finally met the three councillors who stood tall above. The Asari parliamentarians stood in the center, and the other two councillors stood on either side, faintly showing that even in the parliament, the Asari had a superior status.

They have already started the topic. Human Ambassadors have begun to present evidence. Salen's hologram appears on a nearby holographic projector. Shen Chao knew that this was a real-time communication established through guò quantum communication, and Salen's actual location was completely unknown.

Unlike the experimental pseudo-quantum communication in the main plane, the quantum communication here is indeed a real real-time communication in the universe using the principle of quantum perturbation.

And this kind of holographic projection is completely different from the game, Salen's holographic projection looks very "real", not like a single sè projection like in the game.

Salen's projections are in full color, except for the occasional bō pattern on the image caused by microscopic disturbances or instrumental problems, as if Salen were standing in front of them. (To be continued.)
