"Received the data from the lock 02 machine, the shadow of the ship appeared on the sensor, number 74000, 3-3-4, .u. color, "Captain, she must be the Fast, although it is three days late, but at this time, from that direction, it cannot be another ship." ”

"Don't be careless, order to lock the No. 02 plane, confirm the ship's ship type + code as soon as possible, and if necessary, send a patrol plane for visual confirmation. Until a definite answer is received, the Archangel number remains on yellow alert. Yao was unmoved, seemingly unaffected by the optimistic atmosphere around him.

"Yes, Captain." The Communications Officer replied, though he was somewhat unimpressed.

It didn't take long for them to receive confirmation from Lock 02, the ship type + was correct, and the ship was indeed the Speed, and there was a hint of relief on the girl's calm face, and she ordered, "Lift the yellow alert, open the communication channel, call the Speed, ship-to-ship." ”

Not long after the message was sent, almost at the same time, they received a message from the Speed, which was immediately displayed on the large screen in front of the bridge.

"Captain Kirk, it's a good thing." Yao stood up from the captain's seat, "Long time no see, welcome back." ”

"You...... ...... you," Captain Kirk opened his mouth in surprise, and he looked the girl up and down suspiciously for a long time before asking uncertainly, "if I'm not mistaken." Aren't you the communications officer on the Liberator, Captain Hua? Why are you ...... now?"

He hadn't forgotten that Captain Aristide had mentioned the girl to him many times, and that he had seen her fly the Lightning Starfighter during the Liberator's escort to the Federation of Speeds, and he was really impressed by it.

"Indeed, you read that right, I'm the Captain Hua on the Liberator, but. That's just my pseudonym. Allow me to reintroduce myself. Major Yao Feilun, captain of the Archangel. The girl was not surprised by the captain's surprise, and she tried her best to endure the smile in her heart, and endured it with some difficulty.

Captain Kirk rubbed his eyes, still unable to believe how much time had passed. She had already changed from captain to major, and she was still the captain of a ship, the captain of a space carrier, he had never heard of a space carrier being led by a major, but the person on the screen was indeed a space carrier named the Archangel, and the rank and logo on the girl's military uniform on the screen. There is no doubt about her identity. It's just that. Captain Kirk was still puzzled, and before he left, the Alliance had only two fast space carriers, the Raider and the Liberator. Where did this Archangel come from? Yes, the Alliance is building new fast space carriers, but they are far from complete, and the little time he is away will not be enough to build a mothership.

"Congratulations, Captain Yao, congratulations on being promoted to the captain of the space carrier." Captain Kirk stabilized his mind and thought for a moment, "Archangel, that name sounds familiar. ”

"The previous ship with this name had been used to cross the death route before, but it wasn't an Allied ship, it was a Federation ship, and Philen had been the captain of that ship." Risen stepped in to help explain.

"Yes, that's right, I remember, no wonder it's so familiar, there aren't many ships that can pass freely on this route." Captain Kirk grinned.

"But, Major Nigaul, why are you on this ship too? Will Aristide let you go? ”

"Of course Captain Aristide is reluctant, but this is a direct order from the Alliance Headquarters and Lady Almeda, and the captain can't help it, I am now assigned to the Archangel as the flight captain of the Ninth Air Force."

"The Ninth Air Force? Congratulations, young man, you are much more accomplished than I am. "Of course, this captain understands what this position means, the establishment of the air force, the previous alliance only had the seventeenth air force with the seventh fleet, and now there is finally a second air force, don't look at Risen is still only a major, but this captain does not hesitate to affirm one thing, this young major's promotion must be very fast, to be promoted to colonel, it may not take a year or two, at his age, with his record, if he can survive the war, he will become a flying general before the age of thirty, It's not a fantasy either.

"Poor Aristide, the people he fancied are gone, what is he doing now, it's all right."

"This ......" Risen didn't know how to tell Captain Kirk for a moment, he knew that the two men were friends.

"Captain Aristide has been injured and is now being treated at the Alliance headquarters, and by the time you return to the Siberian system, it is estimated that he will have recovered." Yao took over the topic.

"Hurt? How so? When was the injury? ”

"It's just that after the last time the Speedy was escorted, the Liberator continued its investigative mission, in

The JP3 jump point in the star field was ambushed by the emperor, and the Liberator was seriously damaged, and we finally got a life back. ”

"I see, I didn't expect so many things to happen in such a short period of time, JP jump point, XY-1987 really has a third space jump point."

"Yes, the JP3 jump point leads directly to the Almeron system, and the Emperor ** came from there, and the Liberator was also ambushed on the JP3 hop point, damn the Emperor**." Resson muttered in his heart at the same time, damn Colonel Riley.

"So, what about your mission this time? Did you make a special trip to escort the Speed? ”

"Sort of it, the Archangel is a newly commissioned ship, the Ninth Air Force has just been formed, and with the increase in the activities of the XY-1987 Star Domain Emperor, Lady Elmeida and the Alliance Headquarters let us go to this star field for combat patrols, by the way, run in and train troops, and escort the Fast back to the Siberian system safely. However, I think that the main purpose is to come for you, and the escort mission is the focus of the Archangel's mission. Yao said, remembering Lady Almeda's last confession: this is very important to both the Federation and the League.

Her remark was by no means unfounded, and she should have been referring to the Omega Project that Major Tulle had mentioned, which, whatever it was, received extraordinary attention.

"I see, I understand why, but ......." the stiff smile on the captain's face, which looked like a bitter smile no matter how he looked at it, shook his head, "Forget it, let's not talk about this in the communication, let's meet first." ”

"I know, the fleet should not be in the detection range of the Rapid yet, but Lock 02 will guide you to join us, after the rendezvous, we will escort you through the final journey and return to the Siberian system at the headquarters of the Resistance Alliance, the Rapid is three days later than scheduled, we don't know how it is so late, but if we don't hurry up, I believe that Lady Elmeida in Siberia may be impatient."

"I'll see you later, well, there are some things that I can inform you first, and you'll find out sooner or later anyway." The captain's expression was a little complicated.

Communication was cut off. Captain Kirk sighed secretly, this girl, why did she use these words of the last journey? How did she know what was happening on this route? That's why they were delayed for three days.

But she was right, this is indeed the last journey, strange, he used to often complain that he was assigned to this route and could not participate in the counterattack against the Empire, but now, when he was about to say goodbye to this route in the future, he suddenly found that he still liked to shuttle back and forth on this route, and he was really a little reluctant.......

"What do you think? Have you noticed? Isn't Captain Kirk's expression a little strange? After the communication was interrupted, Risen immediately lowered his voice and asked the girl.

"That's right, I noticed," Yao slowly sat back in the captain's seat, "things won't go so well, and if I'm correct, whether it's Major Thule, the Intelligence Department, or Mrs. Elmeda, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed." ”

"That's what I thought, too, but he also said he had something to inform us. That was up to him, and I believe it should be something else, what could it be? ”

"I don't know, won't you know after the convergence?"

"Yes...... Let's meet first......"

Most of the starfield XY-1988 is shrouded in interstellar clouds, but in the center of this ring interstellar cloud, there is a clean passage with almost no gas, dust, or debris, and a large ship gradually joins the formation of the three ships that are waiting, and near these ships, several lightning starfighters slowly circle, guarding these behemoths.

Yao didn't stay on the bridge, she returned to her room, through confidential communication, a small secret video conference was being held, and the participants were not only the four captains, but also Risson, his status was special, although he was not the captain, but he was the captain of the Ninth Air Force with the Star Wing Medal, and his qualifications were sufficient.

Captain Kirk didn't mention whether the ship had brought back any important information about the Omega Project, but what he said was no worse than that, and Risen couldn't believe his ears, and he felt that the girl's little hand, which had been holding it, suddenly grabbed him very tightly, very tightly, and even a little painful......

The death route was completely interrupted, and the Rapid was the last ship to pass through this route, and the contact and communication between the Earth Federation and the Resistance Alliance had to be forced to stop the Starry Sky Wings Text One hundred and sixty-six, the calamity is not a single line
