Chapter 539: The Rebellion of the Citadel

‘Senator Anderson, why didn’t I see your Udina assistant in this meeting? If he was present, I think he would be able to give us some more pertinent and effective suggestions. '

'...'

‘Yes, I also agree with this point. Assistant Udina is a very wise human being, which is extremely rare among you people on Earth. '

'I regret not seeing him... Senator Anderson, does your assistant Udina have something important to do? '

Before the meeting came to an end and began to wait for the arrival of a certain important task, the holographic projections of the members of the council members of the other three tribes of the God's Castle who attended the meeting began to be present at any important meeting, but this time, it was rare He asked the assistant of the Human God's Castle Councilor who was absent.

The current Citadel is temporarily under the joint control of the Council's executive committee composed of representatives from the Asari Republic, the Turian Empire, the Salarian United Nations, and the Human Star Federation.

In addition, there are Hana people, Eko people, Waller people, Batarian people, and Quarian people who joined the Council of God's Citadel... However, the Quarian people have no ambassadors. After the incident with the geth, the status of the quarians in the Citadel was extremely low, and they were discriminated against everywhere. Even ordinary meetings did not have their share, let alone the current high-level meeting of the council.

"Sorry, everyone!"

Admiral Anderson, who had been looking out the window, seemed to be waiting for someone, suddenly turned around at this moment, and calmly looked at the Asari, Turian, and Salarian representatives of the God's Castle Council.

The three people in front of him, Anderson, can be said to be the ones with the most power in the Castle of God! Under normal circumstances, in the Council of the Citadel, the Asari generally play the role of diplomats and mediators, the Salarians are responsible for collecting intelligence and information, and the powerful Turians provide the main military and peacekeeping forces. And their human beings belong to the role of soy sauce, wanting to take care of everything, but they are faintly excluded everywhere.

Although Anderson has more or less obtained a lot of positions for humans in the Citadel under the instigation of the Star Federation Council, such as the six departments of the C-SEC, whether it is the Ministry of Public Security, Criminal Investigation Department, Customs Administration, The Internet police department, special police team or patrol team have already begun to have many people from the earth, but both Anderson himself and the Star Federation Council feel that this is not enough, far from enough... They still want to More, whether it's influence in the Citadel or other powers, they want more!

So, today Anderson proposed and started today's meeting, because of the problem of a certain human ghost! A ghost's rights and status in the Citadel will not be much lower than that of an ambassador or a member of parliament, and this is exactly what Anderson needs!

"..."

Slowly watching the members of the three races on the three holographic projectors in the distance, Anderson sighed silently.

He knew that they must have reached a certain consensus, and there was a faint intention to suppress the rise of mankind. Presumably they did not want mankind to develop too fast in the Citadel of God?

Think about it too...

In the huge galaxy of the Milky Way, any race whose strength and technology can be recognized and establish an embassy in the Citadel, and anyone who agrees to abide by all the regulations of the "Castle of God", can be regarded as a member of the Citadel of God! However, the joined races can only submit proposals to the council,

But it can't participate in the formulation of resolutions... that is, a meeting like the current one?

And after their human galaxy alliance defeated the spirit of the Turians in 2165, they were persuaded by the Asari who came forward to mediate and became a member of the Citadel, and smashed the rebellion in Shepard in 2183. After the conspiracy of the Geth troops led by the "ghost" Saren Atreus to attack the Citadel, the humans of the heroic family naturally mixed into the council of the Citadel.

It has only been twenty years since I joined and became a member of the peak power in charge of God's Citadel!

From joining the Citadel of God to becoming a member of the council, from being marginalized and hostile and discriminated against to being a powerful being looked up to by many races, they humans can be said to have refreshed the views of all races in the galaxy on humans! Even, there is a faint threat from humans in the Citadel of God, saying: "One day, those ambitious humans will definitely dominate the entire Citadel of God and the Milky Way"? !

"My advisor, Mr. Udina, cannot be here today for some reason!"

"Also, if I remember correctly, I, Anderson, am a member of the Council of God's Citadel, and only I can represent us humans and the Star Federation!"

For some reasons that cannot be disclosed to the public, in today's meeting, he, Anderson, actually deliberately did not inform the guy who always quarreled with him, and then sued him in the Star Federation Council on Earth all day long! In short, he just doesn't like Udina, who is taking the lead, relying on the relationship between the earth and the Star Alliance to dictate to him, and wants to overstep his power to command him!

He, Anderson, is the member of parliament. Shepard trusted him two years ago and risked his life to fight for him. It wasn't Udina who jumped up and down between the Citadel and the earth like a clown to win it! For this, he Anderson never forgot, that's why today's all happened!

He didn't want that Udina to know too much about some things, especially about Shepard... because Anderson didn't trust that guy at all.

"Because we have something else to do today..."

"Oh! Check it out! We've been waiting for so long, and our great hero, Shepard, is finally back!"

Just when Anderson was about to say something to the three members of the Council of God's Castle, the automatic door of his office was opened from the outside, and then a man in the 'N7' combat uniform, with short red hair and odd ears The female warrior with the face walked in with big strides.

There is no doubt that it is the Shepard whom Anderson has been waiting for for a long time!

"Long time no see, Chief Anderson! You should have been going well for the past two years, right?"

Instead of taking care of the three holographic projections on the other side of the office, Shepard stepped forward quickly, and the old chief, who had always had a good relationship with him, smiled and extended his right hand.

"Not bad!"

"Shepard, I'm sorry for what happened two years ago...but I'm really glad you're back!"

After shaking hands, Anderson first looked up and down the pride of the human being in front of him, and found that the other person's demeanor and appearance basically had no major changes, and it was not the charred corpse he saw in the data. He let out a sigh of relief.

He would like to thank Cerberus for this matter. Those terrorists finally did something serious, and they are really capable of rescuing their human heroine? !

"Sir!"

"I was able to come back to life this time, even myself was surprised!"

Shepard still remembers that she knew she was dead when the spaceship was bombed, was blown into space, and found that the spacesuit was scratched and leaking air! But how could she have imagined that in the end, when she opened her eyes again, she would be lying in that research institute of Cerberus?

"excuse me?"

"Shepard..."

"When we heard that you were able to come back to life, we were also very happy... But at the same time, we also heard a lot of rumors about the reason why you came back unexpectedly... And, some of them make us very... disturbed?"

Without waiting for Shepard to continue talking about the past with Anderson, the Salarian MP who knew what would happen today interrupted the two of them, and spoke to Shepard in a suspicious tone. with.

This meeting was originally about this 'dead' ghost of the former Citadel!

"Yes, that's why we held this meeting!"

"On behalf of us Asari, I welcome you back!"

"Shepard... we owe you a great deal, that's an irrefutable fact... After all, you saved many of our lives against Saren and his geth army..."

"So, you can now say what you want or other help, if it is not too much, we will gladly accept it!"

At this time, the members of the council of the Asari began to speak immediately after the member of the Salari.

Perhaps, among all the three members of the Council of God's Castle, she is the one who has the best impression of Shepard! Thinking about it, back then, if Shepard hadn't sacrificed his life to save their ship "The Destiny Extraordinary", the Asari would have suffered at least over 10,000 casualties in the raid on the Citadel more than two years ago... …

At that time, there were more than 10,000 members of their Asari tribe in the "Destiny Extraordinary"!

"Help? Of course I need it!"

At this time, Shepard would definitely not refuse the opportunity to directly ask for benefits.

"Members! I got the latest news not long ago. Now the collectors are kidnapping the residents of the human colony with the information of the gods. Moreover, I have more reliable evidence that they are actually working for the reaper..."

"So, I need to smash their plots as soon as possible, and I really need all the help you can provide! Whether it's troops, warships or funds, I want them all!"

Shepard, who didn't want to waste time, looked at the three members of the Council of God's Castle for a few seconds, and then directly cut to the main point, and said what he wanted to say now, that is: warn these dead people to refuse to admit The reaper guys, the existence of those collectors, and the relationship between them and the reaper, and get as much convenience and help as possible from the Citadel!

It would be the best if these guys can wake up to their senses!

"Sorry, this request cannot go through!"

"Shepard, you should also know that the World God galaxy is beyond the jurisdiction of our Citadel, and you humans should have thought of this when you ran there to colonize in spite of the provisions of the Citadel Convention!"

Before the other two councilors could continue to say something, the Turian councilor who had been in charge of military and peacekeeping missions in the Council of the Citadel suddenly broke in. His own opinion is already very clear, that is: regardless of whether it is the collectors who attacked the humans on Earth in the Jieshen galaxy or not, and no matter whether those collectors are connected with the reapers or not, they will not do it for Turians. Send a soldier here!

And as long as the turians don't take care of this matter, the other congressman races probably won't be able to take care of it either. On military issues, the attitude of their Turians represents the attitude of the Citadel!

"etc!"

"Member Turian, you seem to have overlooked one thing, which is a major matter involving the Reapers. I don't think the provisions of the "Castle Convention" will still apply at this time!"

Anderson is probably one of the few executives who is willing to believe in Shepard and the existence of the Reapers!

However, it is a pity that other members of the God's Castle Council do not believe it, and even the senior officials of the Earth Star Federation are also unwilling to believe it! In the situation of being alone and weak, he can only do nothing about the matter of the reaper. Even if he wants to do something, he can't do anything...

"Ah……"

"Yes, Reaper!"

"According to those reports, it is a strange half-living, half-mechanical interstellar spaceship with great power, an undead race lurking in the dark space outside the galaxy... However, Anderson, you should also remember that our two years The previous investigation and the Citadel Conference have unanimously passed and denied the existence of such a thing as the 'Reaper'!"

Waving his hands with a smile on his face, Councilor Turian rudely denied what humans said about the 'Reaper'! He still felt that the one that attacked the Divine Castle was actually just an example and did not represent anything more.

"Shepard?"

No way, Anderson had no choice but to look at his most valued subordinate.

He once tried to hand over the first-hand information about the Reaper information Shepard recorded on Eros and about the Overlord to the congressmen of the three races, but unfortunately, they rejected it without even reading it. It's... He didn't even understand how these guys came to that conclusion!

Anyway, to this day, except for Anderson and Shepard, the high-level members of the Citadel's council or masters only think that Saron is the mastermind of the geth attack, not something unfounded. Reaper'!

They all agreed: Saren wanted to gain more rights, so he brazenly attacked the Citadel and wanted to replace the status of the council, that's all!

As for the Reaper, that is just a fictitious existence imagined by Shepard, without any substantive direct evidence! And those monsters that appear in the Jieshen galaxy are just some rare semi-robots. There is nothing to make a fuss about. They are caused by human beings, and no one will clean up the mess for them.

"Saron is controlled by the reaper, so he..."

However, Shepard was interrupted again before he finished speaking, and it was still the arrogant Turian councilor.

"Shepard, please stop talking about the Reaper. It is just a fictional existence by you! It was fabricated by you, Saren, and those Geths."

"They don't exist at all!"

"Even if you may have seen some specious things, they don't mean they are real!"

After interrupting Shepard's words, the Turian councilor set the tone for the Reaper matter in this way, and firmly disagreed with any of Shepard's views on the Reaper, and would not send any troops for the matter of the World God Galaxy , Even if it is just to investigate, it is impossible!

Because, firstly, it is indeed beyond the jurisdiction of the Citadel, and there is no legal basis for the action; secondly, those greedy humans, they are expanding the colony almost all the time, occupying a Another livable or uninhabitable planet, arbitrarily occupying any place of interest, the Turians have long disliked it for a long time!

Because of this, he expressed gloat over the affairs of human beings in the Jieshen galaxy, and was happy to see the earthlings who had conflicted with their turians get into trouble.

"..."

"Why don't you take a look at the information I sent you?!"

Shepard was a little angry, and waved viciously as he said. She obviously submitted a very important piece of evidence. In order to convince these stubborn guys, those are all the most original video materials, without any copying or modification!

But now, why do they still have this attitude?

"The holographic pattern on Eros has been invalidated, and we have not found any evidence to deny that the overlord was not made by geth, so, Shepard, I express my regret..."

At this time, seeing that Shepard seemed to have a tendency to cause conflicts with Turian representatives, Senator Salari quickly tried to persuade him and became a peacemaker.

"snort!"

"I think the state of Shepard's mind is very unstable. She may have been manipulated by Cerberus. Maybe...we should detain her?"

"!!"

"Member Turian, the matter is not that serious... Besides, Shepard is the benefactor of all of us, we can't treat her like that!"

"ha!"

"Of course, I'm just a suggestion! Otherwise, if she really followed the law, she should be shot now?"

"That's too much, Mr. Turian Councilor!"

"Watch your words, Senator Turian!"

"I'm just talking, and I don't ask you to do that!"

"..."

"alright!"

"That's the end of today's discussion about the Reapers! Those 'Reapers', they don't exist at all!"

"Shepard... Now, our patience is almost exhausted, let's talk about other things quickly! For example, now, without conflicting with some of our principles, how do you need us to repay you?"

"Yes, we'll do something to give you credit and hard work..."

"Hmph! Just don't mention 'Reaper' to me again!"

After a little debate between the three members of the Citadel Council, they quickly reached a consensus and looked at the ex-ghost Shepard who had returned from the dead and returned to the Citadel, waiting for the other party's answer.

"..."

There is no way, Shepard can only turn his head to look at Admiral Anderson, who is also a member of the Human God Castle, in grief and anger. Unfortunately, the other party did not give her any advice, but shrugged helplessly and gave her a suggestive look.

—————

The "foundation" of the Citadel space station is the lower part of the ground of each guard area, the place between the superstructure with inhabitants and the shell that cannot pass through, they are called the "foundation", this is an intricate, many passages, dangerous and A maze-like existence.

In these dangerous places, there are systems and various power stations that are related to the life support of the entire Divine Castle, and they are the ones that maintain the normal operation of the Divine Castle! Although the official statement is that only nurses are allowed to enter the 'foundation', in fact, the 'foundation' is the slums of God's Castle!

Here is the home of criminals, minors, homeless and temporary 'stateless' black household exiles! Of course, there are also some people who are willing to stay here for some reason, and most of them have to linger on their lives here because they can't wait for any opportunities in the Castle of God, living a life with no future and no tomorrow at all. Life.

At the same time, the recovery system of the space station is also located here at the 'foundation'. These systems produce various artificial organic sauces, so that the people living here can maintain their survival! Of course, they are provided for free, unlimited, free of charge, and anyone who lives here can easily get them from the recycling bins one by one! Moreover, what is even more valuable is that they... are rich in nutrition, able to meet the survival requirements of almost all races! Of course, they are colorless, tasteless, ugly in shape, and will not be eaten a second time after eating them once, etc., which are also one of their 'advantages'.

boom! boom!

However, today, for some unknown reason, a group of Krogan poor gangsters suddenly appeared in the "foundation" area of ​​the Citadel. They did not know where they got some powerful electromagnetic individual weapons and weapons. A terrifying nuclear grenade with a huge number, terrifying power, and an explosion radius almost equal to the attack radius!

Those huge explosions just now, those vibrations that almost shook the ground of the guard area are proof of that!

They are gathering a large group of criminals, minors, vagabonds and temporary 'stateless' exiles who have no hope of life and no chance at the Citadel, let alone After the thugs managed to get out of this huge prison, the C-SEC SWAT team and patrols who were finally able to successfully attack the Citadel in the foundation retreated steadily. In one sentence, the 'foundation' world that occupied two guard areas , firmly occupied there!

"Brothers! Sisters!"

"Whether you were once human, turian, salarian, hanar, aek, wolr, batarian, quarian, or krogan like me, whether you were Which race you come from, and it doesn't matter why you have to stay here or what kind of injustice you have received...."

"but!"

"Starting today, all of us are equal! Starting today, we will have no oppression, no discrimination, no injustice of any kind! Starting today, we won't even have any neutrality here Divide into groups!"

In the 'foundation' under the third guard area of ​​the Citadel, in a fairly spacious steel cabin, the krogan Grant, like a huge toad walking upright, is holding his The C-14 'spike' Gauss rifle, and the grenade-like deuterium-eight explosive devices wrapped around his body, the Klogan guy who is commonly known as the explosive device of the D-8 bomb is yelling hysterically at the excited crowd Go!

Here, a large group of guys of various races gathered, also holding Gauss rifles high and wearing deuterium-eight explosive devices more or less around their waists.

"We've been locked up here, living like the cheapest bugs..."

"You probably don't know yet? The man-made organic sauces we eat every day are actually all garbage, excrement, dead bodies of animals or people of various ethnic groups, multi-legged rats, It was even produced after the elimination of the 'nursing staff'!"

"We can only live humblely like a group of mice..."

"We have no dignity!"

"We have no future!"

"Do you still want to live like this?"

"..."

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

"Dry those mounted papers on the upper layer!"

"We want to be free!"

"Kill them all!"

clatter! clatter! clatter!

A series of shots fired a series of red dots at the steel armor on the top, quieting the crowd and causing a multi-legged 'care worker' to appear out of nowhere. Tecai went on to say:

"That's right!"

"Starting today, we are different! We must live with dignity and live better and better!"

"Because... today, all of us are no longer those outcasts, outcasts, we all have only one name in common, we are the 'oppressed'!"

"I declare: From now on, we are in rebellion!!!"

Grant raised the weapon in his hand vigorously, opened the big ugly mouths of the krogans, and yelled at the militants mobilized by him.

"Wow!!"

"Wooooo!!"

"Crack, wow!!"

"Occupy the Citadel and regain your freedom!!"

"Attack! Drive those special police out of our world!"

"Kill!!!"

Soon, a group of people scattered vigorously along the maze-like terrain of various passages, pipes, or ladders. Finally, there was only the castle maintainer'care worker who was still on the top of the cabin repairing the gun holes. '.

—————

(Little master, the batch of weapons you sold caused a big mess... That toad monster with only money, he seems to have armed a group of rebels, and then fought with the police!

(?????????)

——When the faint explosion and vibration came from the ground, Tibbers said something to a heartless little master who was feasting on the ignorant money he earned. )

"Tibbers, don't talk nonsense!"

"I didn't sell those weapons. I don't know that toad monster named Grant!"
