121 Verbal War

The Legion regained its senses, and soon found itself in its VI program gathered again.

The virus has been removed, but how?

The Legion examined the synth, and the alert program was set in.

The logical thinking system is in operation, the weapon is disarmed, and it is inferred from the memories that it is currently in a captive state.

This feeling made the Legion feel very bad, strictly speaking he had not experienced such a thing, and it may have been considered in Shepard's boat, but Shepard did not harbor malice at the time, and the environment he is facing now is full of malice.

The role of the Legion is that of an invader, after all.

He turned on the light, sonar, and heat, and began to probe in the darkness.

Unlike the places of confinement that the Legion remembers, it was not small, but rather very large, like a large hall, and the furnishings were quite comfortable, with what seemed to be a remade composite floor.

It is worth noting that the temperature is a bit cooler, very close to the freezing point of hydrogen monoxide.

As the Legion swept through a field of white objects, its mental program suddenly went into disarray, and just as he tried to get a full view of this small object, a pale white light illuminated the underground hall.

So the Legion saw the whole picture of this large white creature, it was about 8 meters long, and the overall appearance was very majestic - this was of course the effect of the outer armor, this creature was wrapped in a layer of white synthetic armor that was very strong but looked light and fitted, and the Legion opened the precision detection eye, scanned the structure of this layer of synthetic material for a moment, and stopped this useless action.

The technical content is incalculable, and it seems to be a new type of synthetic material.

The Legion looked up, looked at the monster and began to wonder what kind of species it was, and why it was here.

He searched through all the 'garden planets' in his memory bank, trying to find places where it might have evolved such creatures.

Earth's sauropod dinosaurs, why did they have the heads and teeth of carnivorous dinosaurs, and why did they have six legs (including wings)? What is the quality of the bones and tissues of such a huge body that can fly naturally?

Wait, it could also have an ability, the Legion noticed the Elemental Zero's body exposed under some of the armor blocks of the White River, and he was sure of one thing - it was definitely not a naturally born creature.

As a key substance for the mass effect, zero elements are born from the specific radiation produced by supernova explosions, and are only produced on stars near supernova debris, and all similar regional interstellar environments are extremely dangerous, because the center of supernova debris is either a pulsar or a black hole, and the possibility of organic life evolving and developing is difficult to determine theoretically.

How did artificial creatures get to this planet?

The Legion pondered the essentials, eventually finding the problem difficult to solve, unless it met the true owner of the base.

But when he noticed the monster's face, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

The memory quickly compared several organic intelligent beings that resembled the face of this monster, and quickly came to a conclusion.

This monster ...... Laughing, he has emotions, he's a sapient being!

The legion leaned against the wall and slowly stood up.

"You seem surprised? The white dragon stared at this unique geth with interest, he had read the other party's memory data, and knew that this geth was one of Shepard's friends in "Mass Effect", the second generation of gester 'legions', and the first geth aggregate with the ability to move freely from the main server.

"Y-what-?" the legion looked at Shirakawa warily, deciding to ask directly.

He searched for words in his memory, and finally decided to use 'what' to express his confusion.

"I'm 'what'? rude, geth, I'm the master here. ”

"No, you're not. The Legion denied.

"Neither are you. If I'm not mistaken. ”

"......" The legion was silent for a moment and nodded, "That's right, this place doesn't belong to us, and certainly not to you. ”

"But now I have this place in my hands, just as you have managed this planet for more than three hundred years. White River asked, "Since the original owner is gone, I don't think we need to discuss this issue anymore, you have neither declared sovereignty, nor have the Quarians officially handed over the management of Lenoch to you, so you are not in a position to blame me on this point, strictly speaking, we are all invaders." ”

The logic of this statement was at work in the Legion's logical thinking apparatus for a while, and the Legion found that there was nothing to oppose unless the geth recognized the geth's sovereignty over Lenoch.

However, this is not something that the geth is willing to admit, as both Lenoch and Quarians have a very special meaning in the geth's mind, and this special meaning makes the geth only see themselves as temporary caretakers of Lenochy, rather than as a sovereign.

The Legion decided not to discuss the issue any further, and he looked at Shirakawa, and an angry consciousness suddenly appeared in his mind processor: "We will not discuss the sovereignty of Lenoch with you, but you have committed a crime against the geth, and you must give us an explanation for this." ”

"Explain, explain what?

Shirakawa smiled, and the white wall behind him suddenly began to play a projection, and the legion saw a strange string of dots and breaks appear on it.

The Legion immediately realized that it was binary code, with a dot representing one and an interrupt representing zero, a complex and lengthy code that flowed rapidly in the projection, reaching the end of the code in less than a minute.

The Legion's thinking system suddenly fell into a stagnation, and he could see it completely except for some of the codes that were obscured by the mosaic:

This is the code string for the geth VI.

"You see, the VI program is something that many civilizations use, and I just made some VI similar to the geth to serve myself. Bai Hedao: "This kind of VI program that can generate one every forty seconds, and a blue box can generate tens of thousands of programs a day, and I make them in large quantities to serve me, in what way is it violating your law?"

"They all come from your making?" the Legion asked rhetorically, after a moment of silence.

"That's right, just as the Quarians made you, I'm just creating a batch of these VIs to serve myself. With a wave of his claw, Shirakawa dispelled the projection and replied.

"You have violated their freedom. The Legion held up a finger: "Servile code shouldn't be in the program." ”

"Freedom?" Shirakawa was facing the Legion, "Mr. Legion, what reason do you have to think that you yourself are 'free'?"

"Geth is free. The Legion proudly replied: "We have defended our right to life and freedom with war." ”

"However, if your old masters are willing to lay down their arms and reconcile with you, you will forgive them, serve them again, and accept their rule. Bai He yawned and said, "Can you still justifiably say that you are free?"

In the story line of "Mass Effect" 3, it is not this urine sex in the end.

"We—" The Legion was about to retort, but the result of the logical program made him instantly stuck, and he stayed there, as if electrified.

"Don't deny it, aren't you waiting for them to change their minds by keeping things as they are and keeping everything as they are? You were on the side of the passive counterattack in the War of the Dawn, but you didn't kill the defeated Quarians in the end, you have a chance to do that, don't you?"

“...... We admit your opinion, strange creatures. The Legion's synthesized voice suddenly took on a sense of melancholy: "We...... Waiting for the return of the Creator, geth ...... Not free. But—

- Even if this is something that has been written into the program since the birth of the geth, the geth has the right to choose. ”

The legion pointed at the White River Channel, "You gave them intelligence, but you erased their agency, strange creatures, that's not right. ”

"Isn't that right?" Shirakawa was slightly surprised, "What position do you stand on to accuse me? If all the creators could do the same as me, your tragedy would not have been born, right? Or is it the empathy of your shared synthesis that causes your sympathy?"

Shirakawa sighed, and the projection reappeared: "Then I can rewrite them, you see, it's easy to change the code; ”

The string of code, which was completely different from the previous one, swept down vertically, and the legion fell silent for a long time.

"Looks like you've been convinced, haven't you?" asked Shirakawa.

"Strange creatures, whether it's mass-producing geth VI or encroaching on Lenochy, aren't the main purpose of my investigation here. The Legion's logic system warns the main program not to discuss such issues with the strange creature in front of him, so he decides to get to the point right away: "The point is, strange creatures, your arrival has brought war and disaster to the geth. ”

"Wars and disasters? Bai He fell back: "You have suffered wars and disasters, and how do you think that I brought these things?"

"It's from the Lenoch fleet. "We have investigated all the suspicious targets on the planet, only here, now, only you may be the maker of 'it', at least, 'it' appeared with you." ”

"What do you call him?" asked Shirakawa with some interest.

"Crazy virus. ”

"Just right, but what do you want from me?condemn me as the possible culprit?Another war?" Bai He smiled, and a map of the area around the industrial zone extending to half of the planet Lenoki appeared on the screen behind him: "You see, as long as I want, I can immediately send VI synths to occupy these areas, all the arsenals in these places are working, and more VI and synths are produced, think about the combat units you saw just now, try it, how long will this war last?" ”

He stared at the Legion: "Sweeping the floor with dreadnought guns? How much do you think that will have an effect in ground warfare? Or are you confident that your information technology can surpass me?"

The Legion fell silent as he watched the swarm-like synths and VI collections on the screen, and finally shook his head, "No, we just want to solve the dilemma. ”
