Chapter 1304: Heart of the Swarm (13)

――TR.82.10.12――
Mar Sara, crew deck on the Huberian.
With beautiful wallpapers, exquisite lamps and furnishings, as well as gorgeous patterns on various furniture, if you only look at the internal environment, you might think of this as a luxury hotel on a prosperous planet.
But in fact, this is just a deck on the Huberian for the crew to rest on.
Renault's rangers are sleeping in the room they arranged after a hard day of fighting, while Renault and Tycus are walking in the corridor, or in other words, investigating the enemy.
"Hey, cowboy, I found that this battleship is more than one and a half stars better than conventional federal battleships," Tykes slammed around several cabins, arguing about the equipment here: "If I guess, it can Singles out three, no, five ships of federal scrap."
So, how do you judge the firepower of battleships through hotel decoration?
"If I remember correctly, you have been thinking about those'scrap iron' for a long time." Renault replied casually.
"They are scrap iron from today!" Tekes declared without principle.
Renault raised his eyebrows and did not comment. This type of battleship had never appeared on other battlefields before I saw it today. This is a good indicator of the problem, but it is basically a waste to let Teckis understand the meaning. time.
He probably only said, "As long as you give enough money, can you still not sell it?" This is not a question of money at all, it is one of the cards of Keha's children against the Tyrannian Federation...
Whether it is the technology of the battleship that penetrates into the atmosphere without causing weather anomalies, or the technology of hovering at low altitude to collect diazine, and even those fortresses installed in the form of projectiles, it proves that they can seek independence in the hinterland of the Tyronnian Federation. In this way, "the Federation directly used 10,000 Apocalypse bombings to destroy Keha" and "Keha abruptly blocked the bombing" such information as drunk nonsense is also true.
Because of this, when they asked Renault and his rangers to get on the ship for repairs, Renault didn't directly refuse.
As for the reason, he could guess one or two. It was nothing more than not wanting to leak information before leaving, asking about the details of fighting these monsters, and the reason why federal agents were here.
However, speaking of "Federal Agents"... Renault looked around the corridors and cabins around him, but couldn't find Kerrigan.
She seemed to disappear suddenly after the Huberian plunged into the atmosphere, but she probably didn’t escape. After all, she had rushed to this mine before. She was scared away before she achieved her goal, which is not in line with her character—although it is. Renault's character inferred through brief contact.
If Renault expected it to be good, Mr. Mengsk should have something to help himself, but he doesn't know what it is. The advantage that he has but the other party does not is...
"[Commander Renault,]" The voice of the adjutant who was entertaining them on the ship sounded on the roadside wall: "[If you have a good rest, please come to the conference hall on the third floor of the'Scientific Research Deck'.]"
Can't guess, let's adapt to the circumstances.

Research deck.
As the name suggests, most of the cabins here are research rooms and test cabins. Renault took a cursory look. They were basically researches on ship firepower, speed and defense, but there were also some miscellaneous projects, such as some corpses of insects, Canned Dizine and even Marsala’s local specialties are studied in the cabin.
The researchers completely ignored Renault, and even if he stopped watching out of interest, the adjutant would not urge him from the "wall horn".
When he got here, Teckis was a bit drowsy, probably because he couldn't understand it at all.
This series of treatments is actually a disagreement... Renault figured it out when he was halfway there. Mengsk was suggesting himself that "Keha's children" had an overwhelming advantage over "Renault's Rangers". What issues will be negotiated later, it is best not to be ignorant of praise.
But it's a pity that showing these things can only prove that the other party is totally unsure of the upcoming negotiation. The corner of Renault's mouth raised slightly and he walked towards the conference room on this deck.
"Fortunately, Sergeant Jim Reynolds, or you would rather be called Commander James Quer Reynolds." The Arcturus Mengsk whom Reynolds had seen on the wanted order was sitting in the meeting. As the head of the room, there was only his adjutant next to him. Both of them were wearing uniforms and they looked like they were not carrying weapons.
"You can call me Renault, Mr. Mengsk," Renault was not surprised when his identity was found out, and sat down directly opposite him: "Although we have a common enemy, the enemy's enemy may not necessarily be a friend. Asked straightforwardly, what do you want from the'Renault's Ranger'?"
"No, your rangers have nothing I need," Mengsk folded his hands: "I hope I can borrow your medic corps. You can mention anything you want."
"Oh?" Renault was slightly surprised by this answer: "They are better at battlefield therapy. If the'Keha's children' want to use them to fight, I have to know your goals."
"There is no combat target for the time being, and I will ensure their safety," Mengsk slightly tilted his head to look out the window, the soaring diazin was being collected by the Huberian, "Huberian will not leave during the loan period. Marsala, however, the number borrowed is all of them, none of them can be less."
"..." Renault had difficulty understanding the meaning of this request for a while.
If you don't go out to fight, the medical soldiers' rapid treatment is meaningless. It is better to slowly recover in the medical cabin, and the requirement for "all" medical soldiers is even more incomprehensible.
"Are you going to hold a live ammunition exercise?" Tykes made a not very reliable, but it was the closest guess Renault could think of.
"You can think so too," Mengsk responded to Teckis with a constant expression, and then looked at Renault: "Commander Renault, just ask what you want."
This is information asymmetry... Renault is a little upset.
Without knowing the other party's purpose, this request can even be said to be a little effort, but it is slightly cumbersome.
However, Mengsk deliberately and solemnly raised this matter and asked himself to make a request, which is to imply that this matter is very important. If he does not make a request, he will not be able to use it to repay it.
These "resistance organizations" really did nothing, but I didn't want to ask for anything, it just felt a bit bad to be kept in the dark.
"Personally, I don't have any requirements, it's just a matter of effort," Renault decided to leave it aside: "But if the girls have any requirements, you can talk to them yourself."
After saying this, Renault noticed that the corner of Mengsk's eyes jumped a bit-could this be the right response?
