Chapter 546 Target Horizon
? Shepard and her Normandy II successfully recruited old friend Galas Vakarian, Salari Dr. Modin Solus and one of the founders of the Qingyang Mercenary Corps. After Zeid Massani, they left the Omega space station soon, and continued her boring team recruitment work.
As for the captives of the mercenary group who surrendered, Shepard released them all dumbfounded after some lawless little guy snatched up Jarosh's star coins.
After all, she didn't need to have too much hatred with those desperadoes. Almost everyone in the Omega space station knew about Shepard's glorious deeds, and also knew that she "unconditionally" released those desperadoes after collecting the weapons. Mercenaries who do all kinds of evil... Presumably, those people will not come to make things difficult for them again in a short time.
Anyway, she benefited from the efforts of a certain little guy and gained the favor of the other party, so that when they recruited Modin, they didn't receive any attacks in the slums, and it can be said that they were easily Solved the problem of the plague and left the Omega space station smoothly.
After this battle, Shepard and Miranda once again looked at Little Annie's talent with admiration. No one knows how the little guy beat at least two hundred mercenaries with a sniper rifle. Those who surrendered... In short, whether it is Shepard or the "Archangel" Galas who is good at sniping, it seems that if they were replaced, they would definitely not be able to do it like that little girl. Those villains who committed all kinds of crimes collapsed, and finally surrendered honestly!
But no matter what, apart from being emotional about what had happened, they didn't worry about it too much, because they had more important things to do.
So, now Shepard is very conflicted. She doesn't know whether she should find a relatively safe Star Alliance colony to put down the little girl and let her live in a relatively safe environment, or continue to take her with her, or give her to her. The whole galaxy contributes?
With the opponent's weird 'talented marksmanship', it must be able to provide great help in her next action, right?
It's just that, while she was hesitating, she felt a little ashamed... She always felt that it was a little too cruel for her to take advantage of an eight-year-old girl... An existence at that age should be carefree in a certain place. It’s right to live and play happily while studying on a home planet, instead of following them around the galaxy and being ready to fight against powerful and ruthless enemies at any time, that shouldn’t be the age of the other party. what should be endured.
but……
After thinking about it, Shepard finally sighed and shook his head, and went straight to a secret teleconference room in Normandy II.
Now, she needs to meet her nominal 'employer' - the phantom man of Cerberus!
because,
It is said that some major events have occurred in the human colony of the Jieshen Galaxy, and her mission is coming soon! This made her heave a sigh of relief. While preparing to confront those collectors, she was finally able to temporarily let go of how to deal with that little guy Anne and the troublesome arrangement.
Now they are very busy, and there is no time to find a relatively safe place to resettle each other, so they have to continue to detain each other on Normandy II, and they can help them when necessary... This is helpless It's not that Shepard wants to abuse little girls or hire child labor or something, is it?
After she figured it out, she happily stood in the middle of the small cabin.
"Start scanning!"
Walking into this small conference room that only he can enter, Shepard walked to the middle of the empty small room and stood still, and then let the holographic device start scanning himself.
'Command confirmed, scanning started...'
‘The identification is complete, Commander Shepard, a remote holographic projection conference is being established…’
Following Shepard's order, Normandy II's artificial intelligence EDI started to activate the remote holographic encrypted channel of this secret communication room, and began to connect to Cerberus hidden in some corner of the galaxy. Leader - Phantom Man!
The level of security authority in this cabin is very high. Only Shepard himself can contact the phantom man of Cerberus after he has passed the security scan of his whole body and has been authenticated and passed by EDI. Here, you can only find that this is an ordinary encrypted remote meeting room, and you will not get more information and other valuable content.
'Real-time connection complete...'
'The remote holographic call scene has been successfully established, and the current confidentiality level is the highest! '
Soon, after Shepard's identity verification was passed, the small teleconference room suddenly turned black, and then a holographic 3D scene began to be projected around it, making Shepard feel as if he was standing in the room where he was sitting. In front of a chair, in the room of the Phantom Man, the leader of the terrorist organization Cerberus... The background behind the other party is still the strange red giant star that does not know where in the Milky Way, constantly emitting red or blue of eerie light.
"call!"
"Shepard! I regret to inform you now: suspend your recruitment operation first, and now you have business to do!"
After taking a sip of the cigarette in his hand and exhaling heavily, Phantom looked at Shepard calmly and said softly:
"The collectors, I think we've caught them again!"
"In the Jieshen Galaxy, a colony belonging to our Cerberus, the 'Horizon' colony planet suddenly lost contact, and just now! This clumsy method is similar to those of the previous collectors who attacked our human colony The method is exactly the same—it still interrupts the communication first, then raids the colony, and then captures all the people paralyzed by the swarm..."
"I firmly believe that if they're not being raided by collectors, they're about to be raided!"
"So, you'd better act fast, if you still want to grab the tails of those collectors and figure out their situation... By the way, the Salarian Modin you recruited a few days ago found a way to deal with them." Is there a way to detect colony sting control?"
Without waiting for Shepard to take the initiative to ask, the phantom man of Cerberus simply stated the real reason for meeting Shepard this time, and directly issued an emergency plan to rescue the "Horizon" colony of the World God galaxy. Task!
Fortunately, according to his data, Shepard and her Normandy II just left the Omega space station a few days ago, and now they turn around and go to the 'Horizon' to support, presumably there should still be time! Of course, the premise is that Dr. Modine of the Salari has found a good way to deal with those bee swarms, otherwise... Shepard and the others are running now, I am afraid they are just providing collectors with more advanced human specimen materials. .
"Horizon Colony..."
"Although Dr. Modine's progress is very fast, I guess he hasn't finished it completely. After all, the time is still too short. It's only a few days... But I believe that he will find a good way."
"Even if he doesn't, I will go to the 'Horizon' colony immediately."
Although Shepard still has a grudge against the leader of this terrorist organization, she will never refuse to rescue the human colony and investigate the collectors! What's more, now that these two things have come together, she must be going to the 'Horizon' colony.
As for the problem of bee swarms, at worst, they will use fighter planes or heavy equipment to go down!
"I hope he can hurry up... Collectors generally don't stay in the same place for too long, and you may not have much time..."
"By the way, there is something I need to remind you now!"
"Your former teammate, Cayden? Alanco, he is also stationed in the 'Horizon' colony now. If you want to save him, I advise you to act quickly!"
As if afraid of Shepard's prevarication and procrastination, the phantom man thought about it, and told Shepard the news truthfully!
Because he knew that this woman was very important to all her former team members, and it was because of this that she was loved and supported by her former team members! Otherwise, she would not have been attacked and killed by the enemy in order to save that little helmsman, the 'clown'.
"Oh! This is really funny!"
"The leader of Cerberus, respected Your Excellency the Phantom Man! Excuse me... My former team members, how many people have been taken under your command by Cerberus? Do you need to think so hard to guard against me? "
Hearing that another former team member of his was sent by Cerberus to garrison the 'Horizon' colony, Shepard was stunned for a moment, and then began to stare angrily at the one in front of him who happened to be sitting on the office chair with no expression. That nasty guy staring at him!
She felt that all the things and people or things she cared about seemed to be controlled by the other party, and then used to manipulate and threaten her? She clearly promised that she would investigate the conspiracy of the Collectors, Reapers, World God Galaxies, and destroy the Collectors for the other party. She will definitely not go back on what she promised! But why, the other party still didn't believe it, and deliberately guarded against her?
Even if she, Shepard, really wants to draw a line with Cerberus in the end, she will definitely come back after solving the collector's matter, completing all the other's tasks, and repaying the life-saving kindness. Go to the Citadel as her 'Castle Ghost', or return to the Alliance to continue as her Lieutenant Colonel.
Of course, the chances of returning to the Citadel will be higher, after all, she has returned to her post now, but that will definitely be after solving the trouble of the Reaper!
"No! Shepard, I think you may have misunderstood something?"
The phantom man didn't have any other excited emotions, he was still smoking his cigarette, and then explained leisurely:
"First of all, I would like to declare one thing: Although the planet and colony of 'Horizon' is an industry under the name of our Cerberus, the navy stationed around our colony is indeed the navy of the Star Alliance!"
"That Kaiden? Alanco is now the commander of the Star Alliance Navy. He was actually assigned by the Star Alliance Council to station and build fortifications on the 'Horizon'!"
"That guy who is not very capable, the reason why he appeared there has nothing to do with our Cerberus arrangement!"
"I'm afraid you don't know yet? We Cerberus and the Star Alliance, apart from a little difference in the treatment of aliens and the positioning of human beings in the galaxy, the relationship between us is actually not as good as yours. As bad as imagined!"
Yes, within the inherent domain of the Star Alliance or within the law enforcement scope of the Citadel, their Cerberus is a terrorist wanted by both sides, an existence to be suppressed and eliminated! This is a matter of political stance, even the Star Alliance does not dare to mess around!
However, in the Realm God galaxy, where the law enforcement forces of the Citadel will never reach, Cerberus is not hostile by the Star Federation like in other places, and both sides acquiesce The existence of the other party, working together for the colonization of human beings in the new galaxy, at most they do not communicate much.
Both of them, Cerberus and the Star Alliance, want to colonize the Jieshen Galaxy and protect the purpose of human colonization. In fact, they are highly consistent with what the Star Alliance is doing!
Therefore, when the colonies of the Star Alliance and Cerberus were attacked by those so-called "collectors" a while ago, the Star Alliance waved its hand and directly sent additional troops to all the colonists in the Jieshen galaxy. Reinforcement troops, because of this, the Star Alliance troops rushed to help defend Cerberus' colony and build large turrets to defend the planet.
"Okay, I'm sorry, I seem to have misunderstood you a little bit!"
Spreading his hands, Shepard generously apologized for his wrong words and deeds. Seriously, though, she was a bit puzzled by the fact that the Federation troops had gone to defend Cerberus' colony.
"It doesn't matter, it's not a day or two for Cerberus to be misunderstood by outsiders..."
"The relationship between the Star Alliance and us is not as simple as you imagine. In many cases, we have some secret cooperative relationships."
The phantom people have always felt that the only difference between them and the Star Alliance is that one is at most an official organization that maintains the status and safety of mankind, while the other... is a private organization that strives hard for the future of mankind. That’s all. That's all!
To a certain extent, their extreme actions complemented the tall and glamorous Star Alliance.
This is why the Star Alliance has always declared their Cerberus terrorists, just like the Citadel, but as long as they Cerberus don't take the initiative to give others a chance, or do some things that are too much Things, you can do business openly and make money without worrying about the root cause of too much suppression by the Star Alliance.
"Okay, Your Excellency the Phantom Man!"
"You don't need to instill in me the common sense that only you politicians care about. No matter what kind of organization you are, I don't want to have too much connection with you!"
"Now, please send us the coordinates of the 'Horizon' colony planet, and I will order to go to that place now. I believe that I will be able to catch those collectors this time!"
Hearing that the other party actually involved some shady entanglements between the Star Alliance and Cerberus in private, Shepard quickly reached out and interrupted the other party's words.
She's a soldier, a frontline commander, not some politician who just goes out of her way! Although she understands some things, she doesn't care about them, and she doesn't want to care about them!
This is just like the old officer Anderson who served as a member of the council in the Castle of God said: "He himself is an admiral of the Star Federation, but he has become a politician... He has to fight in that never-ending world." Wasting his life in a dormant political ball? ’ So, probably only a guy like Udina would enthusiastically discuss the dirty things like the other party just said?
As for soldiers with a profession like theirs, it's fine to complete every combat mission seriously and try to do your best. As for other things, let those guys who are better at it do it. !
"Of course! The encrypted coordinates will be sent to you now!"
"Almost forgot, there seems to be one more thing here, Shepard..."
"I have received a report on the little girl a few days ago... How about it, have you considered handing her over to our Cerberus? Please believe me, our Cerberus has the best Resources and the best educational environment, with our careful cultivation, within a few years, she will definitely become a superhero far surpassing all of you!"
"We human beings are in urgent need of qualified and talented seedlings like her!"
He had already heard about the fact that a little girl beat nearly three hundred fully armed elite mercenaries to surrender with a single sniper rifle! He even carefully read all the statistics and investigation reports on that little girl submitted to him by Miranda!
Although, he still feels a little unbelievable about some things... But this incident must not be faked!
Whether it is the personal investigation by the intelligence agents in Omega, or the report handed over by Miranda, they will not deceive him! And if it weren't for the critical period now, and he didn't really want to provoke that still useful Shepard, I'm afraid that no matter what means he used, he would coax that little girl into Cerberus' hands. Up.
He felt that with such a talented material, after the reaper incident was completely ended, he would definitely try to get that little girl into his organization!
"Don't even think about it!"
"Do you think that I will give Annie to you Cerberus and train her to be a killing machine? Just dream! Even if I send her to a special school of the Star Alliance, I will not give her to you !"
Like a female cat whose tail has been stepped on, Shepard bluffed in an instant, and took two fierce steps forward with his fists clenched, staring at the Phantom, the leader of Cerberus, who wanted to hit that little girl. Man, it's like being punched twice.
Fortunately, she remembered that here, it was just a holographic simulated scene dialogue, not that the other party was really in front of her.
"snort!"
"Is there any difference between handing it over to the Star Alliance... and handing it over to us Cerberus? Shepard, you are still too naive to see the essence of the matter clearly."
After flicking the soot, the phantom man continued to look at Shepard expressionlessly, then shook his head helplessly.
He felt that if the little girl was really handed over to them for training and arrangement by Cerberus, in the future, the combat power that the other party could display would definitely be terrifying, and it would definitely be far stronger than staying in the Star Alliance Navy. Those who don't know the so-called rules and regulations!
Their Cerberus fighters can do whatever they can to carry out their missions. As long as they can guarantee their completion, the degree of freedom and safety will be much better.
Moreover, their Cerberus is also more willing to spend more money on elite fighters, the best weapons, equipment and ships come from whatever is good! Instead of like the stingy Star Alliance, it takes a long time to wrestle and budget to build a spaceship!
At that time, they Cerberus may have even built a fleet.
"..."
"Annie's affairs should be chosen by herself, and I will not let any of you interfere easily!"
After being silent for a while, Shepard still decided that he would never make any concessions on this matter!
She felt that what the little guy wanted, it was better to wait for the other party to choose in a few years, instead of setting up a future path for the other party with irrelevant people. That was too much for a little girl. A little ruthless.
"Then let's do this first, the coordinates have been sent..."
"Shepard! The situation this time may be very serious, and it is the highest level of security alert we have received so far! The 'Horizon'... may be very dangerous now, whether it is our Cerberus colony, or All Star Alliance troops have lost contact!
"So, good luck to you!"
After finishing speaking, the phantom man stopped talking, and he didn't want to quarrel with Shepard when he was about to perform a dangerous mission! So, after he took a last look at the woman standing in the middle of the conference room, whom he spared no expense to revive, he nodded indifferently, and directly turned off the remote holographic communication.
"..."
"You should have received the coordinates of 'Joker', right? Let Normandy II turn and set off immediately, and set the shortest route to 'Horizon'!"
"I'll go to the lab first to see Professor Modin's progress, and let me know if there's anything!"
After watching the surroundings revert to the cold and dark steel cabin, Shepard was silent for a while, then took a deep breath, and decided to ignore some annoying things for the time being, and finish the most important task right now. !
Therefore, she directly called Joker, the helmsman in the bridge command room, and issued the latest order.
‘Obey sir! '
'The coordinates have been entered, and the fastest route has been selected! '
‘It is estimated that our ship will reach the orbit of the colony planet ‘Horizon’ on time in thirty-six hours and twenty-four minutes! Commander, I think, you should still have a good rest for a day? '
Soon, the voice of the helmsman clown on the bridge came directly from the communication sensor on the bulkhead, and then the spaceship began to bump slightly. In the state of superluminal flight.
"Thirty-six hours... I hope there is still time?"
After pondering and calculating for a while, Shepard heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and walked quickly outside the door of this secret meeting room.
"Strange……"
"Little Annie, why did she go to Modin's laboratory again? Tsk! I hope she won't be too mischievous and affect the progress of Modin's experiment! Otherwise, this mission will be in big trouble !"
Turning on her own multi-tool, when Shepard saw that Modine was busy in the laboratory of the engineering department at the lowest level in Normandy, and at the same time, she also saw the signal of a little girl there at the same time, she was shocked , quickly turned his head and walked quickly towards the elevator of the spaceship.
Dr. Modine's research on controlling and paralyzing stinging bee colonies is crucial to their next mission, and if the progress is affected by that brat's trouble, their actions in the 'Horizon' colony may be miserable. Now, maybe it will be difficult to move an inch?
Therefore, she must immediately stop that little guy!
———————
buzz buzz...
The bored little Anne is staying in this laboratory with Dr. Mordin Sollers, a Salarian, and they are studying a certain animal that is locked in a large box made of explosion-proof glass. It is about the size of a fist. The wasp...or should I say the alien mosquito?
That's right, we are studying together, not making trouble!
o(〃'▽'〃)o
After all, interstellar voyages are really boring, except for eating and sleeping, there is nowhere to go! And after she had visited the entire spaceship several times, and she couldn't be more familiar with it, there was really nothing interesting to give her, except for a monster with big eyes and a small head in this laboratory. To pass the time or to have fun.
"This is obviously a big mosquito, where is the bee?"
"The bees of your crooked star family, they all look so strange? Will it produce that delicious honey?"
(○????д??)???
Anyway, no matter how Annie looked at the glass, she felt that the other party definitely didn't look like the kind of bee that could make sweet honey!
The big guy inside looks weird, with four legs like a frog, sharp horny claws, a sharp mouth like a beak, and a thick shell and wings like a dragonfly... this kind of disgusting How could it be called a wasp?
The other party's appearance has nothing to do with bees or wasps, it's just a little monster!
buzz buzz...
Snapped! !
Σ(°△°|||)︴
A muffled sound!
Just when Annie leaned over and wanted to take a closer look, the strange thing that was hovering in the middle of the transparent box suddenly accelerated and slammed into it fiercely, as if it wanted to pounce on her face and bite. She took a bite?
It's a pity that the strong explosion-proof glass made it ruthlessly blocked directly inside, so that its pounce could only hit the glass in vain, and the sharp claws pierced it, but there was no paw print. Or there are no white marks left.
"Huh?"
"You little thing dare to scare me, I will kill you later!!"
(｀へ??) ○～
Annie, who was fascinated by the study just now, was really taken aback by the other party's behavior!
She was a little puzzled, it's just such a big bug that wants to pounce on her face? hum! Give it a hundred guts to try, it won't burn to death!
Not to mention that there is glass blocking it now, even if there is no glass, if it dares to rush towards her face so casually, it will definitely die a very miserable death!
buzz...
m(ΘΘ)m
Snapped!
buzz buzz...
Snapped! Snapped! !
Obviously, the little bug couldn't understand what Annie said, and it probably didn't know what glass was, so it just kept flying and bumping into it like that, desperately trying to rush out and bite the one outside who was watching it Yes, a human girl with a pink face.
"Annie, please don't provoke it. We won't have any material if it accidentally kills it. It's the last living specimen."
"There are only five of us, and now you have killed three of them..."
On the side, Dr. Modin, the Salarian who was designing and optimizing an armor part on an instrument, had to stop what he was doing at this moment, turned his head and whispered to the little girl.
The lifespan of a Salarian is very short, and a Salarian over the age of forty is very rare!
Therefore, they think fast, speak fast, move fast, and their thinking and actions are very active and efficient! And someone like Modin, it means that he has entered ten thousand years, and there are not many years to live.
"Please stay away from it, otherwise, it will always want to attack you."
In the past few days, except for him, Modin, who dissected and studied one by himself, the other two were played to death by that little girl... There is another one that accidentally flew out and was preparing to When he was attacking that little guy, he was knocked down to the ground by the plush toy bear that he always carried in his hand, and then stepped up with his little foot... and he was crushed directly!
Originally, Modin still had a lot of doubts about the legendary story of this little girl in the Omega space station. After all, he didn't personally see that kind of situation? Therefore, he has always been a little reluctant to believe that a little guy like her can really beat three mercenary regiments to surrender!
But... when he saw that the other party killed the bug neatly, he was a little bit willing to believe it again.
He is very clear about the power of those bugs. Even ordinary adults, without weapons, may inevitably be bitten and paralyzed by the other party! But in the end, the bug was played by the little guy like a toy and trampled to death, which seemed to explain some problems.
At least, Modin thinks that no matter how bad this little human girl is, she is a little guy with quick eyesight and quick hands. Maybe this is the talent of human beings? It is not unreasonable for them to develop to this point in just a few decades.
"cut!"
(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~
"Anyway, you have now researched the armor that protects against bugs, so what does it matter if it is dead or not?"
"Let me tell you, it looks so ugly, I don't like it, so I want to trample it to death!"
(￣へ￣)
Annie didn't like this kind of alien bug called 'Wasp' very much. If possible, she even wanted to let the other person out, and then secretly set a fire to burn it directly!
Besides, Big Sister Shepard said that these bugs are villains sent by a group called "Gatherers" or "Reapers", and it is always right to burn them.
"Although what you said is correct, Annie, you have to know..."
"We have only researched two effective means of protecting against bugs, but the funds have not yet researched the means of attack against them... So, we still need it to keep alive?"
After thinking about it with the sharp observation and non-linear thinking of the Salarians, Modin still said something that should be understood by the little girl, and this is because he wanted to keep the live bug, And the reason why it has been kept.
Engaged in genetic research, it is definitely better to have a complete specimen of a living body than to preserve and dissect live cells! Maybe it will be of great use at some point!
"An attack method against this kind of bedbug? Then what is there to study?"
"Look, they are so weak, it's actually super easy to deal with this kind of bugs, I can squash them straight with one kick!"
(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~
Isn't it just a big mosquito with big fists that can use paralytic toxins?
If Annie came, she would have ten thousand ways to deal with them! Whether it's a stick to kill, a slap to death, or hitting the ground and squashing it, or using magic or something, it's very simple anyway, and there is no need to study how to target them!
"this……"
Modin opened his mouth, but finally shook his head, and continued his work. While modifying his shooting, he wanted to reduce the power consumption and size of a certain module, while dealing with the little human girl next to him:
"Annie, these 'poisonous bees' are not just three or five. When they appear, they are overwhelming, at least dozens or even millions of them... like a dark cloud, which can directly wipe out the entire colony. They are all covered... unless they wear thick solid fully enclosed protective armor, or stay in a fully sealed house, no one will be their opponent!"
"So, what we are doing now is not enough. We also need to deal with them in the most effective way, instead of passively interfering with them and preventing them from attacking."
Modin patiently explained that he had seen a short video of those 'swarms' attacking the colony in the Cerberus data, so of course he knew that when faced with this terrifying mass of flying monsters, the colonial humans despair...
What's more, these 'poisonous bees' have conclusive evidence that they are controlled by those 'collectors', then this thing is terrible, their stingers can pierce ordinary soft protective clothing, if restraint and If there is a way to kill them in large numbers, whether it is humans or other races, when releasing this kind of "swarm" that covers the sky and the sun for free, except for heavy armor units, other soldiers will not be spared.
Therefore, further research is necessary!
"Are there that many of them?"
"In that case, wouldn't it be enough to just burn them all with flames?"
~(￣0￣)/
No matter how many there are, Annie is not afraid, whether she uses her lava shield or burns directly with magic, there is not enough for her to burn! If you want to defeat her with numbers, that is an impossible false proposition!
"Well……"
"Flame? Oh... I see."
Modin thought the other party was talking about a flamethrower, he hesitated for a while, he nodded, but quickly shook his head again.
"Using flames to deal with 'swarms' is indeed a good way, but the cost is a bit too high, and there are not small limitations. I'm afraid it's not practical..."
The flame must be able to kill these flying insects in a strange state. In fact, the flame can destroy almost all creatures and machines. Even in the current war, the short-distance inland flame weapons are also very effective, and they often appear in Among the weapon options of the marines of various races, such as the human M415 flame storm?
It's a pity that when dealing with those 'bee swarms' all over the sky, those flame-throwing weapons with limited killing distance and limited killing area are not enough, far from enough.
"Then what do you say?"
"Didn't we just make a high-temperature version of the mass effect shield? As long as the bugs come up, they will be burned directly. Are they still dead?!"
ㄟ(▔，▔)ㄏ
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, Annie really doesn't know what kind of trouble this little alien old man with a small head and big eyes is going to do. This seems to be a very simple matter, why does it have to be so complicated?
"Well……"
"Annie, the Mass Effect's 'lava shield' you suggested to me is a great invention! At least, it's like this when dealing with these bugs... But, that's a waste of energy, once thousands of Besieged by bugs, the shield will probably be overloaded and offline soon!"
"By the time……"
Having said that, Modin smiled wryly and clicked on the simulation data on the console. He quickly calculated that under normal circumstances, the number of shields overloaded by bugs is...about three hundred?
In other words, even with the high-temperature version of the mass effect shield on, it can only resist three hundred flying insects at most, which is obviously far from enough.
"You also saw it two days ago. Once they come out, they will crazily launch attacks on us living people without any fear or hesitation... From this point of view, my guard who interferes with their frequency band Armor is much more practical than the 'lava shield' you suggested..."
Modin didn't want to dampen this little guy's enthusiasm too much, so he said a few more words rarely, and he was more patient and patient with this cute and talented guy.
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's really troublesome! Then tell me, how do you want to deal with them?"
(￣.￣)
Annie is at a loss. Her best way to deal with bad guys is to set them on fire. When one comes, a shattering fireball will be released. When two or a group come, they will be set on fire. Once a large area is burned, no one will be left behind!
If what comes here is a villain who can't be burned, then she still has Big Ivan, once she throws it down, she runs away, and the whole world will be clean...
ψ(｀????)ψ
"I think……"
"We may need to study a more efficient and more targeted genetic insecticide..."
Speaking of this, Modin's pair of big eyes suddenly became a little dim and uneasy.
Back then, he participated in the Krogan's genocide plan... At that time, the genetic weapon he improved and researched made the premature death rate of the Krogan's newborns reach a horrifying 99.9%... This incident has been condemning and tormenting his conscience and morality all these years!
That's why he ran to Omega's slums and risked his life to research the antidote to the plague! This is the real reason why he has to research and treat those innocent people no matter what, even at the risk of dying!
In fact, it was just his own redemption...
This of course also includes the real reason why he agreed to Shepard's call and wanted to do more for the galaxy in order to save the world! If he can really do his part in the future and successfully save the world from those 'Reapers', presumably the invisible condemnation of those krogans on him should be offset and Lighten up a lot, right?
Originally, he didn't want to touch things like genetic weapons for the rest of his life, but if it was to protect the Milky Way from threats, then he would still be willing to do it.
Of course, he never told anyone about the klogan gene extinction weapon, and he kept it silently in his heart.
"PhD!"
At this time, the door of the laboratory at the bottom of Normandy was suddenly opened from the outside, and then Modin and little Annie saw that Shepard strode in.
"Dr. Modine, how is the progress of your research? Have you achieved any results?"
"?!"
"Also, Annie, please don't come here to make trouble, go play somewhere else!"
After first asking Dr. Modine, Shepard folded his arms, stared at the little guy who looked like a little adult with some headaches, and was about to start chasing people away.
The other party can play anywhere, but not here, especially when she really needs Dr. Modine to develop a method against the 'swarm'!
"I didn't make trouble!"
ヾ(??｀Д????)??彡
Annie has helped a lot in the past two days, and she also gave a lot of valuable suggestions. Where is the trouble? At most, she just accidentally killed three living specimens! But now there is only one left, so those things don't need to be too entangled.
"Troubleshooting? No, no, no..."
"Commander Shepard, you may not know that this kid has inspired me a lot and helped me develop a more efficient mass effect 'lava shield' anti-swarm armor!"
"And, of course, the Swarm Misdirection Armor."
"This way please..."
While speaking, Modin signaled the other party to come to the console in front of him so that he could explain carefully.
"I found out that the wisdom of those poisonous bees is not high?"
"So, this swarm misleading armor is researched by me based on the connection between the swarms and the special wave bands they emit. It can make the swarms mistakenly believe that you are a member of their own group, and then it will not Launch any attack on you!"
"The Mass Effect 'Lava Shield' was the inspiration for me from Little Annie!"
"You also know that the mass effect shield can only protect against high-speed kinetic energy bullets and particle streams. For low-speed approaching targets, its reliability is very low, so that the swarm can easily approach us and launch a stinger attack...so , under Anne's suggestion, I changed the setting of the shield a little bit, let it change the resonance mode of the mass effect shield, so that when it is touched by a foreign object at a low speed, it emits an ultra-high frequency band and Heat where the enemy touches, then directly sear and burn the bugs!"
"Look..."
"That's it, it's a great idea! It can also complement each other with the anti-bug misleading armor, and minimize the danger when facing bugs!"
Modine called up a model of armor on his holographic test bench, and then explained happily.
"It doesn't need additional production, you just need to install new modules on your armor."
"If I had enough time, I could optimize it even smaller... But, that would take a lot of time?"
Modin finished speaking in one breath, and then nodded to a certain arrogant little girl.
"See, I'm very powerful!"
(￣^￣)
"..."
"Okay, I'm sorry Annie, I take back what I just said..."
Although Shepard couldn't believe it, he still encouraged the general to touch the head of that cute little guy, but unfortunately, he was easily avoided by the other party.
"By the way, Big Sister Shepard, when are we going to dock?"
゛(‘◇’)?
"Docking, what do you want to do?"
They have only left Omega for a few days, so where is the need to find a place to dock and resupply so early? Moreover, they are about to go to the 'Horizon' colony to perform rescue missions, and they will not dock at this time.
"Of course it's to buy something to eat!"
??(??????????)??
"..."
"We are going to perform a mission, and I am afraid we will not dock in the short term..."
"Huh? Where are you going?"
"A colonial planet called 'Horizon' can probably arrive the morning after tomorrow!"
"Is there something delicious somewhere?"
"..."
"I don't know, should there be?"
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and set off!"
"..."
"We're already flying faster than the speed of light!"
"Huh? You guys won't jump over the horse directly?"
"Break? What's that?"
"It's teleportation!"
"There is no mass effect repeater near here, we are already in the Jieshen galaxy now, we can only fly directly there!"
"It's too bad, your broken spaceship can't even jump!"
"Where is that kind of teleportation method?"
"My spaceship has it!"
"..."
