Chapter 536: Return home

　　 "……"
After a short stay on planet AN-5367 for less than an hour, the stealth fast cruiser Normandy II finally returned to its original secret route, ready to go to a mass repeater to go directly to the Serpent Nebula God's fort!
　　 Because she just received an invitation letter from the Star Alliance Council and the Castle of God not long ago.
In the last mission, after encountering Tali, I must have received news that Shepard had come back from the dead, whether it was the Star Alliance of Humans and the Castle of Gods or the Council of Gods Castle... So, no matter how God is next What happened to Fort, she must also face it properly.
　　 "You continue to stare here, pay attention to be vigilant! I am going out first, remember to let me know if something happens!"
Shepard glanced at the Xuan window that was full of the scenery outside the battleship and the bridge that was also the battle command center. He watched the surroundings manipulating huge holographic screens in their respective positions, busy dealing with those. The crew in front of the blue or yellow screen, full of information, routes, ripples, and various scan feedback data, are busy, and even the huge holographic cluster of the Milky Way in the middle of the bridge is slowly turning, discovering There really wasn't anything about herself as the supreme commander and captain, she turned around and informed the first mate, then turned her head and left, quickly leaving the bridge.
　　 There is almost a period of time before reaching their destination, and during this period of time, she can just sort out some of the troublesome little things on her ship.
　　For example...
　　 The little girl Anne who was rescued by them?? Hasta's arrangement problem?
Of course, these things are not very urgent. After a battle with those monsters today, she is exhausted physically and mentally. She plans to go to the bar on Normandy No. 2 and have a good drink to ease the battle. That kind of fatigue and powerlessness in failure!
　　 That's right!
　　 Today, in the earlier battle, they were indeed defeated...
If it weren’t for the little girl who helped them out in time at the last minute, I’m afraid she would have been caught off guard at this moment, whether it was Shepard or Miranda, and fell directly under the claws of that powerful monster. Right?
Ugh……
It would be great if the elites she was about to recruit could have the same marksmanship as the little girl...If that's the case, she would be even more concerned about the raids and the investigation of the collector star field. Are you confident?
　　 I don't know why. She lowered her head and silently took the elevator down to the crew cabin on the second floor of this spacecraft. Shepard suddenly thought of this.
　　 As for the outrageous thing about trying to leave the little girl to help her team, she couldn't even think of it. It seemed that they were too incompetent to do so!
　　Because, the other party is just a little girl. There are some things that the other party should not be burdened with... and Shepard can't pull that face down and ask a little girl to do that kind of dangerous thing!
　　The other thing is that the opponent is probably just excellent in marksmanship! But when performing tasks, they have to fight in various complex terrain or cosmic environments. They have strict requirements on the personal physique and combat literacy of the team members. A little girl who is only good at marksmanship , Obviously can't meet her request.
　　 Even if the other party is really satisfied, I am afraid she Shepard will not really dare to ask a little girl to fight alongside them!
"Well?"
However, she had just stepped out of the elevator and was thinking about all kinds of chores and walking towards the bar. Shepard, who casually nodded with the crew saluting her in the past, heard it when she walked to the open bar door. There were bursts of very lively discussions:
"Hey!"
　　 "Have you heard? Our Captain Shepard and Miranda were on a mission on the planet AN-5367 half a day ago, something extraordinary happened!"
In a relatively spacious bar, a few men and women of Normandy II who were not on duty or on duty for a short period of time were gathering together and drinking wine in a relaxed manner. A group of people sat around a square table. He talked loudly and casually, and even read the name of their captain, so that Shepard outside couldn't help but frown in embarrassment and stopped. He didn't choose to walk in immediately, so as not to interrupt their conversation.
　　 She wants to hear, how will the crew of her new ship arrange her captain in private?
"I thought it was something. Of course everyone knows: Captain Shepard and Officer Miranda, they worked together and defeated hundreds of collector monsters and successfully rescued the lucky little girl. !"
　　 "Yes, I've heard about this too, it's really beautiful!"
　　 "Tsk tsk... the two officers fought hundreds of enemies and cut each other. They are indeed the heroes of our humanity, and they are the Shepard who saved the galaxy! If only I were half as powerful as them!"
　　 "Haha... don't think about it, you idiot!"
　　 "Asshole! Who are you stupid?"
　　 "Hey! Stop it!"
　　 "￥#@#! How dare you go to the gym later?"
　　 "A word is a deal!"
　　 "……"
(????灬????)(??-灬-')(????д`??)(??`灬????)??(????ロ??? ?)
　　 A group of people looked at the two guys who were a bit tall, shook their heads, and continued to chat with each other. These people have been rotated and repaired now, have a full two days of forty-eight hours of vacation, drink a little more, as long as they don't run out to make trouble, there will be no security guards on patrol to take care of them.
　　 "Uh...give me another drink!"
"But when you think about it, the broken planet has been abandoned for almost a year. I didn't expect that there are still living people living on it... I thought that the information in the Star Alliance said that there are only some monsters left. Time to clean up?"
"Humph!"
　　 "I can tell you secretly: It's definitely not that they haven't had time to clean up as stated in the information, but they don't want to clean up at all!"
"how do you know?"
　　 "Yes! You can't talk nonsense about this!"
　　 "It's okay to talk...we are not from Star Alliance now..."
"Right!"
　　 "……"
"Let me tell you, I served in the Star Alliance Marine Corps a year ago! At that time...it was indeed sent a squadron over there, but after scanning and landing two gathering places, I found no survivors. After the attack, their lazy guys retreated after a few random bombings, and didn't really search and rescue or clean up anything at all!"
　　 a crew member who seemed to be a former Star Alliance soldier said bitterly.
　　 Obviously, he is very dissatisfied with the Star Alliance randomly discarding a planet, even if the planet's environment is terrible, but there should not be thousands of human beings who were slaughtered by collectors and just walked through the scene!
　　 "Oh...that's the bureaucrat of our Star Alliance..."
　　 "Hmm...If the kid of that senior official was killed by the collector, their attitude would not be like that!"
　　 "Come on! How could the children of high-ranking officials go to such a bad planet?"
　　 "Uh! This makes sense!"
　　 "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's continue to talk about the big incident just now, what we don't know yet?"
　　 A group of people still gathered together and discussed loudly, and even attracted the attention of other crew members who were also sitting nearby drinking. As everyone knows, their captain, Shepard, was standing by the door with his arms and listening!
　　 "I bet you don’t know about this!"
"I just heard the fat guy from CIC who checked the battle situation all the time... The lady told me that, in fact, it was not our people who saved the little girl, but the little girl who rescued our captain and Miranda. !"
　　 "Otherwise, now our Normandy II is almost time to return and announce its dissolution!"
　　 picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip, the bearded crew member who had provoked the topic just now vowed to say.
　　 "……"
　　 "Hahaha, you are really kidding!"
　　 "That is, how is this possible?"
"It's so nonsense, just such a small kid, I just saw it in the aisle of the medical room outside, she looked like this at most seven or eight years old, how could it have saved our two A sir?!"
　　 "Huh, please stop if you like to spread rumors!"
　　 "……"
　　 "Is it possible, that little girl, she is really a very powerful talented person, who can save our two powerful officers from those monsters?"
"I don't believe it! You have also seen the updated Reaper and Collector Monster Book, the kind of monsters with powerful shields, abilities, and short-distance teleportation, the kind of corroded Asha Beauty, the guy code-named'banshee', besides the two officers, Shepard and Miranda, who has the ability to defeat them?"
　　 After being immersed for a while, the crew members all roared, obviously because they didn't believe much in the news that a certain crew member just released, because it was very illogical.
　　 "Don't talk about that little girl, even if we go together, I am afraid it is definitely not the opponent of that kind of monster, even with heavy weapons, it may not be able to win!"
　　 "That'banshee' is really that powerful?!"
　　 "Of course! At close range, when we encounter marines, there is only one dead end!"
　　 "……"
　　 "I agree with this view, because I took over and stored those monsters!"
"Their corpses... are on our ship now! According to Chief Miranda, they should find a suitable opportunity to transport them back to the research institute in Cerberus for research in order to find ways to deal with them and those that can harm each other. Weapons? It’s just...I’ve seen their scan reports, even if they are dead, the energy response level of the biochemical abilities on the corpse is still very high, far beyond your imagination!"
　　 "So I suggest you, be careful when you encounter such monsters in the future, their abilities are... terrible!"
　　 "……"
　　At this time, a researcher's words scared others to silence. They had seen the updated combat monster illustration in the Normandy II database, they were still a little afraid of that kind of monster! Perhaps, I am afraid that only the long-range and high-intensity bombardment of heavy land machinery or fighters can easily break the opponent's biochemical barrier and kill the opponent, right?
　　 "So this is obvious. What you guy said just now is not credible. There may be a little girl selling outrageous things that saved our two chiefs!"
　　 "Come on, everyone drinks the bar first, why are you so serious?!"
　　 "That is, if you get angry, it's a pastime."
　　 "Haha!"
　　 "……"
　　 "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth anyway!"
　　 "That little girl, she just used an M-92 to save the two officers from the siege of the monsters! One shot and one, and they never failed. That is just a miracle!"
　　 The crew member who provoked the topic was obviously obsessed with this matter. Seeing that others did not believe it, he repeated it again.
　　 "Just blow it!"
"I do not believe……"
　　 "I don't believe it either!"
　　 "If you don't believe me, pull it down! I'll tell you, there are even more powerful ones! That little girl, with a single shot, destroyed the monster aircraft that was chasing and attacking the UT-47 shuttle boat at high speed!"
　　 "……"
　　 "But, how did we hear the pilot say...It was actually Miranda or Chief Shepard who directly shot it with a power?"
　　 "The same thing we heard..."
　　 "Bah!"
　　 "How can the ability to lay down a high-speed aircraft at a height of more than 100 meters on the ground? You believe it?"
　　 "……"
　　 "That's more reliable than a little girl shooting with a gun!"
　　 "That's right! That little guy, I'm afraid I can't even resist weapons, right?"
　　 "That little guy, I have seen her height...It seems that she is not really taller than M-92?!"
　　 "I think she can only drag it away, right?"
"definitely!"
　　 "Hahaha..."
　　 "Okay, stop talking, let's drink! Come on, cheers, for today's victory!"
　　 "Victory? What victory?"
　　 "Of course it is today's rescue mission, somehow it killed hundreds of monsters!"
　　 "What's the matter with us? When the spaceship goes down, the battle is over, we are just going to pack the corpses for the three monsters."
　　 "That's also a victory!"
"Ok."
　　 "In order to win..."
　　 "Cheers!"
　　 "Cheers!!"
　　 "……"
　　 Shepard thought for a while, after all, he still didn't care about the drunks in the discussion, and he didn't even go into the bar, just as if nothing happened, he turned straight and walked slowly past the door of the bar.
　　 Now she has changed her mind and wants to go to the hospital to see the situation.
　　 That little guy, it's Miranda and Kailin now?? Dr. Jakovos is checking his physical condition. Surely the results should come out at this time?
　　 "Hi! Miranda, how is it?"
　　 The spacecraft is not big. After passing through the two passages, Shepard came to the medical center.
It’s just that I don’t see the voice of the little guy here, I just saw Miranda looking at a piece of data in her hand, and Dr. Kailin?? Jakovos was on the personal computer on the side. Something busy.
　　 "What else, Dr. Jacobworth said: That's a normal kid!"
　　 "Although there are some supernatural reactions, they don't seem to be very high at the moment. The main reason is that various physical fitness and neural response speed have almost reached the limit that we humans can achieve..."
　　 While talking, Miranda raised the holographic data terminal in Yang's hand, and she was just checking this somewhat incredible report.
"It's a little weird to say it... Through the analysis of the instrument, she is really just an eight-year-old girl! But in terms of physical fitness, she is one level higher than you and me?! "
　　 And this is the reason Miranda has been stuck with the doctor, not going outside to rest and play! The little girl's statistics are so weird, she must figure it out! Furthermore, Miranda feels that if this data is correct, she might have to report to her officer, the leader of Cerberus, Jack?? Harper... or Mr. Phantom Man. a bit?
　　 "……"
　　 "You mean, is she transforming people?"
　　 took the information terminal that recorded the little girl's body data from Miranda's hand, and Shepard quickly scanned it at a glance, and then asked with a frown.
　　 "Absolutely not!"
"That cute little guy, she is a pure natural person! Her genetic information is more pure than me, Miranda, and even you, Shepard, who came back from emergency resurrection. She has no traces of strengthening or DNA modification. , And was not affected by any abnormal radiation from alien races!"
　　 Regarding this question, Kailin?? Dr. Giacovos is very sure! It's a pity that the other party didn't draw her blood from life or death, so she could only reluctantly secretly took the other party's two hairs for research, but even so, the information she had gotten surprised her.
　　 "She is really a natural-born warrior material, or the top one! I think our training camp at Cerberus will definitely like her!"
　　 Miranda, who leaned on a side bulkhead with her arms, rubbed her chin for a while, suddenly smiled and said her thoughts.
　　 That's right, that little guy, she is planning to introduce them to the leader of Cerberus. As long as they are properly educated and trained, they will definitely be a super trump card in their hands in the future!
　　Like that kind of talented sniper, once trained carefully, it will be terrifying, it is definitely a nightmare that no enemy wants to face!
　　 "……"
　　 Hearing Miranda's words, Shepard was a little unhappy.
　　 Although she now has to cooperate with Cerberas for a common goal, she does not want to give this kind of war orphan to that extremist organization, and then be trained into another weapon that can only kill!
"Ah!"
　　 "After several years of system training, I think... she must be the most powerful warrior in the entire galaxy far beyond everyone! But I really look forward to it!"
　　 Seeing Shepard’s reaction, Miranda continued to talk to herself as if she was deliberate.
　　 "……"
　　 "Okay, we have more important things now!"
　　 "And I don't think it would be a good idea to train this little Cypress!"
　　 Finally, after Shepard released the terminal that recorded the little girl Annie's information, she frowned and interrupted Miranda's self-talking ridicule.
　　 "Why?"
　　 Miranda is puzzled, this Shepard will not be nosy to this point, right?
　　 "If we fail, you know what will happen to us humans and the entire galaxy!"
　　 Shepard glanced coldly at Miranda next to him, and now the Reaper is about to harvest the Milky Way, and it won’t be long! If their actions fail and smash the cloth collectors and harvesters ~ EbookFREE.me ~ all people will have no future!
　　 "Yes, but I will file and hand it in. It's up to you and me to decide how our Cerberus decides!"
　　 "……"
　　
　　 "Uncle, can't you really eat that kind of big fish head?"
　　(??????????????)?
　　 Seeing a certain monster in the distance appear on the holographic screen on the side of the cafeteria, Annie thought it was the raw material of a certain dish? The opponent is like a big toad or catfish walking upright, it is really ugly!
　　 "Little Annie!"
　　 "I can cook whatever you want, but please don't just say that kind of weird thing! In case it spreads out accidentally, others think that we people on earth are barbaric races of cannibalism!"
　　 Sergeant Gardner, the chef of Normandy II, handed the little girl a plate of extraterrestrial delicacies he had carefully made, and then whispered in a low voice.
　　 "I made this for you, hurry up and eat it, don't let outsiders see it, or you'll bother me again!"
　　 For a cute little loli, Sergeant Gardner, the chef, is very generous! No, he secretly kept the word from others, and made several delicious small stoves for the little girl!
