Chapter 440: Darkness Emerges and Asteroid Battleships
On the human side, they are busy with copywriting and bureaucratic work, busy docking with the Star Federation in all aspects, and the turian side is turbulent.
Colonel Salen made another feat and led his fleet to defeat the Reaper and the fleet of accomplices of the mysterious hostile race, which instantly became a war hero to the Turui people.
Oh, and now the group of accomplices of the Reapers, named the Collectors by the Turks, implying that they are naturally the Reapers' doglegs.
Not only that, but Salen also brought back several corpses of collectors, much to the surprise and satisfaction of the turian military, who happily replenished Salen's fleet to full strength.
This mysterious strange hostile race has finally been revealed.
Collector, a humanoid race, the evolutionary characteristics of insects are extremely obvious, the head extends backwards in an arc, and the ends are extremely sharp, like a silkworm chrysalis.
Spider-like eyes line the sides of the face, three on the left and three on the right.
The mouth resembles an insect's mouthparts, with six petals, and a sharp, round mouthpart that resembles a small mouth.
The entire body has been completely modified, and the genes have undergone a lot of modifications, removing a large part of the gene chains that are useless for combat, and adding some patterns of gene chain composition that the Turks cannot understand.
"The Collector has been collectively transformed by the Reapers, and has become a walking corpse born purely for battle, although he still retains his intelligent thinking, but has been completely brainwashed and unconditionally obeys the orders of the Reaper. ”
The Turks finally came to the above conclusion and shared it with the Star Alliance, which shocked the various races of the Star Alliance.
They originally thought that the Collector was the main body, and the Reaper was just their combat weapon, but now it was the other way around, the Collector was the weapon and the tool, and the super-giant erected large ship was the real master.
Smart AI, Synthetic Civilization!
This final conclusion made Starlink extremely worried.
There is already a Gaith AI civilization in the bustling star area, and now they are chasing and beating their creators, the Quarians, and now there is another reaper!
And it seems that the Reaper is much more powerful and advanced than the group of Gaiss AI, although the Gaisce AI is also developing and improving on its own, but their heritage is after all inherited from the creator Quarians, so it is not a big threat.
As for the Reaper, their technology is too terrifying, not to mention the kind of attack power that quickly destroys a large city, let's just say that this kind of organism is completely modified and the deep modification of genes is already a very threatening ability.
There is also the image that came from the time when the Horizon Planet colony was destroyed, the Reapers are transforming and transforming the races of the prosperous star sector, the Turks have been transformed into the disgusting assaulters, and the humans have been transformed into even more disgusting corpse golems and brain container people, although the transformers of other races have not been seen, but the Asari people also lost a large number of people at that time, and it is estimated that the next contact, there will be another batch of twisted Asari in the transformation army of the Reapers.
Saren is right, he is not crazy, the reapers, in the bedtime story, appear, they want to harvest the organic civilization of the prosperous star region and destroy everything.
The archaeologists and scholars who were once treated coldly and ridiculed have now become fragrant and sweet, and all kinds of races are desperately looking for such talents, asking for money for money, for manpower, and for manpower, with only one task, that is, to continue to excavate the remains of those ancient civilizations on a large scale, and find more information about the reapers.
Some archaeologists have dug up many fragmentary records in the ruins, and in the unstable holographic projections, the images of the erected giant squid, and the intermittent warning messages, all point to the Reaper for countless years, and have been hiding in the unknown galaxy, waiting for the next round of harvesting operations.
On one side, they were amazed, and on the other side, an Asari was beginning to suspect Salen, a hero of the Turbulent War.
Massani is the vanguard of the Assari Federation's elite abilities, or the most elite group of the special forces, as humans call them.
She is stationed at Fort Junction for a long time, providing security for various clan councillors, or on small special missions.
When Salen came to report to the council at Fort Connection, she felt a disturbance of her mental power, and her heart was extremely depressed, and the turian exuded an extremely unnatural and distorted aura all over her body.
There is a problem with this war hero!
Suspicious, Massani decides to follow Salen, who has been engaged in high-end security and special missions for many years, making her extremely sensitive to this strange feeling.
After following all the way, it was found that after reporting on his work, Saren did not behave abnormally, but just walked around Fort Junction with his fleet soldiers, enjoying their hard-won shore vacation.
But Massani was even more convinced, for the Turan soldiers, like Salen, exuded a feeling of utter unnaturalness.
His own mental power is more sensitive and special, and he may not be able to feel it by other Ability Vanguards, but he is different.
Eventually, the effort paid off, and Masani spotted something unusual, as Saren and his soldiers occasionally flashed a blue light in the blink of an eye, and then vanished.
It is common knowledge that the eyes of the Turks never glow, and now that the eyes of the Turks of Salen are glowing, there is indeed a problem.
Tracking all the way, the suspicion became bigger and bigger, and Saren didn't seem to be in a hurry to return to the fleet, but walked all the way to the port monitoring room of Fort Junction with his soldiers.
It controls the entry and exit of all ships in the Junction Fort, as well as monitoring the nearby quantum repeaters.
What is he doing there?
The Veil of Extinction star field, next to the quantum repeater.
A super-giant dreadnought was quietly docked nearby, as if waiting for something.
The ship was built directly from a long asteroid with steel rings on the surface of the stone, one end of which was transformed into a battleship thruster and the other end was inlaid with a large-caliber laser cannon.
The entire interior of the asteroid has been hollowed out and turned into the internal space of the battleship, the walls are like honeycombs, densely packed with massive holes, each hole has a transparent transistor inserted, but it is currently empty, waiting to be filled by the test sample.
What Starlink doesn't know is that the Collectors are not only the accomplices of the Reaper, but they are the creators who were harvested and transformed back then, and the corpses and captives were uniformly transformed into their current appearance, serving their creations.
Now, the Collector's Dreadnought-class battleship is about to set sail and roam the bustling starlands, bringing back a steady stream of transformation test subjects for the Reapers.
The camera zooms out, and more Collector asteroid warships continue to sail out of the pitch-black Void Ring, and although they have different destinations, they have the same goal.
They will travel to the edge of the sector, cross the quantum repeater, and travel to unknown galaxies that have not been discovered and explored by the bustling sector, to find and harvest any species of organisms.
And the first collector battleship that was already waiting near the repeater, Boss Hu decided to play an exciting game and let Saren play the last role.
He'll turn off the Junction Fort's monitoring of repeaters, lock on to all ships that have docked, and then have the Collector ship jump over and harvest the massive space station.
Destroying the core of this Star Alliance, and the population and various non-public information there are extremely needed for Hu Feng.
So it's good to be the villain again.
