Even though Captain Ed and others successfully returned to the Orville safely with all the important information and the only experimental device, the crisis was not completely resolved.
Because the Orville still needs to face the Quill warship, that is, the Quill destroyer that is fighting against the Orville and its weapons and shield strength far exceed theirs regardless of size!
Although the Orville is also equipped with necessary military and defensive weapons, such as shields and two energy launchers that can serve as main guns, everyone knows that it is not a weapon specially developed and used for combat.
It's just a medium-sized exploration ship.
Anyway, everything is the fault of that heartless Dr. Arnoff!
When the other party sent a message to the Planetary Alliance, they didn't even know to ask for more supplies. So the Planetary Alliance headquarters felt that the other party needed a little less, so they sent Ed and his medium-sized exploration ship to stop by.
It was just a trip, and I didn’t even think about getting involved in such a mess, so now I am facing such an embarrassing situation:
Even though its size is only a fraction of the opponent's, and even its shield strength and weapon firepower are only a fraction of the opponent's, the Orville has to engage in a one-on-one confrontation with the Quail destroyers?
then……
The worst happened. Not long after Captain Ed, First Officer Kelly, and Anne and six other people barely rushed into the Orville's hangar in the chaos, the two engines at the tail of their spacecraft were in position to be occupied by the enemy.
The main gun was destroyed.
Then, with almost all of his own shields collapsed and only one of the three engines barely functioning, the Quill destroyer commander who was furious because the landing force was inexplicably wiped out headed towards Orville.
The USS sent an ultimatum, ordering the Orville to hand over the time device and all experimental data within three minutes, otherwise, the other party will sink the Orville?
In this regard, Captain Ed, First Officer Kelly and others certainly had no good solution, and in desperation, they had to think of a solution that was not a solution, and that was:
Handing over all the things, but at the same time doing some tricks in the device that can control time, preparing to let the undetectable genetically modified cedar secretly hidden in the device when the Quill people receive the activation and verify the authenticity.
The tree seeds take root in the opponent's warship and grow for a full hundred years in a short period of time, thereby bursting the opponent's warship in an instant?
There is no doubt that that is not a good idea, because in that case, the Planetary Alliance is likely to completely lose that device!
However, when time was tight and there was no other better way, Ed and others had no choice but to compromise and prepare to risk their lives to fight the enemy at the risk of losing important scientific research data and equipment!
But...
What Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly didn't expect was that when they went to the space shuttle cabin and secretly made trouble, they were going to let the unmanned space shuttle carry the time device they modified and send it to the enemy.
While carrying out a demolition plan on the battleship, an accident happened.
That bad little girl Annie didn't know when she slipped into the bridge of the Orville. Then, the other party used force and coercion to seize the steering rights of the helmsman Gordon Mallow and control the Orville.
The USS, with its last engine and only two energy particle cannons, fought with the enemy's destroyer and engaged in a close-range dogfight like a fighter jet?
at last!
After about half an hour of fighting and exaggerated maneuvers, Ed and Kelly, who were knocked unconscious by the exaggerated maneuvers of the space shuttle in the space shuttle cabin, finally survived and ran back to the bridge angrily.
When they did, they were horrified to see again:
Under the control of that daring little girl, the Orville actually used its last engine and two poor main guns to defeat the Quill destroyer, losing all its weapons and shields, and forced Quill to
After the destroyer's hull was damaged by more than 50%, the Chinese destroyer had to desperately send a message to abandon the ship and surrender toward their Orville?
Then, of course, the stunned Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly once again won the victory inexplicably, and watched helplessly as a certain little girl was carried arrogantly amidst the crowds of people on the bridge watching and cheering.
Her ferocious bear doll left the scene of the discovery.
There is basically no suspense about what happens next.
Not long after, other warships from the Planetary Alliance rushed in and began to control the scene. At the same time, they also sent warships to escort the Orville back to the nearest ship repair yard to start repairs.
A few days later, the repair work was quickly completed, and when the Orville set off again, the little girl Anne, who had made many military exploits as a 'foreign head of state', was naturally invited by Ed and Kelly to a meeting.
The image of an old man in military uniform that she didn't recognize appeared on the 3D screen inside the room and she managed to see the wall.
"??"
(°ー°〃)
"Who is this lousy old man?"
(???.???)????
"Is it because he wants to meet someone?"
(??.???)
After finally knowing what was going on, and why the two people had to trick her into coming here in such a mysterious way today, Anne of course asked the Kelly beside her without any politeness at all.
"!
"
"That is the Commander of our Planetary Alliance!"
"Annie..."
"Can you please be quieter?"
Ed and Kelly were startled, and then after looking at the expression of the officer on the wall, they suppressed their laughter and lowered their voices to remind Anne.
"Ahem!"
"that……"
"Nice to meet His Excellency the Führer!"
"We've heard about you, so can we have a casual chat now?"
The old man on the wall pretended not to hear and smiled and stretched out his hand to indicate that Anne could sit down and talk to him face to face.
But it was obvious that Anne's "bad old man" call just now probably offended him, so much so that he actually skipped the introduction of each other.
"Talk?"
く(＾_?)ゝ
"But……"
(????)
"Looking at your expression, you don't seem to want to talk at all... Deep down, you are still thinking: She is just a rude and rude girl. What else can you say... She is probably a spy from somewhere and..."
(?~?)
"fraud?"
(lll￢▽￢)
Anne spoke slowly and disdainfully while staring at the other person's old face that was gradually becoming stiff. After seeing through all the thoughts in the other person's heart, she turned her head away, expressing her disapproval of talking to a two-faced old man.
Not very interested.
"!
"
"Ed!"
"You never told me that she could read minds!
"
The next moment, the old man in the picture quickly changed his face and turned to captain Ed to angrily question him.
And judging from his angry expression, it is not difficult to guess that what Anne said just now obviously frightened him, and it seemed that she was all right?
"No!"
"Your Majesty Commander, please listen to my explanation, I don't know either..."
"real!"
Ed was startled at first, and then when he realized what had happened, he hurriedly stepped forward at a loss and explained continuously.
"..."
Unfortunately, that bad old commander didn't want to listen to Ed's explanation, and just started to operate something, so that the communication screen slowly became blurry.
"All right!"
Then, seeing that his parents did not listen to his explanation, Ed had no choice but to turn to look at Anne behind him and asked in disbelief:
"Annie?"
"Are you really... capable of reading minds like that?"
"Did you just use it?"
Ed knows that there are many weird aliens in this world. Some of them can directly read brain waves or communicate through brain waves, and some damn aliens have endoskeletons in their vital organs, allowing him to
He has secretly hated her for a long time but was jealous of her, but this was the first time he encountered the little girl in front of him who could read minds and could accurately see through a person's inner thoughts through video communication.
"Yes!"
(?▽?)
“I know everything!”
(゜▽＾*)
Annie blinked and smiled and replied cutely, and said that if the other party didn't mind, she could tell her what she was thinking right now and let that big sister Kelly know?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"!
"
"Then why didn't you tell us earlier?"
Unexpectedly, it would actually happen. Ed couldn't help but feel a little angry. Then, while his tone became higher, he couldn't help but subconsciously step back, wanting to get further away from the scary little girl in front of him, so as not to 'see' something.
What you don’t want others to know.
"But you didn't even ask!"
(ˉ▽￣~)
Anne looked away disdainfully, not bothering to explain.
"I……"
Ed was about to say something, but that bad old commander stopped him with his hand.
"alright!"
"Your Excellency Anne, let's continue chatting?"
At this time, the bad old man successfully turned the 3D picture into 2D, and then lowered the clarity and resolution as much as possible to prevent his expression from being seen too clearly. Only then did he feel relieved and understand clearly.
Clearing her throat, she signaled Annie to continue.
"..."
(,,??.??,,)
"Then you have to hurry up!"
(???????)
Although Annie wanted to say that she didn't want to chat with a bad old man, but after looking at Sister Kelly who was raising her eyebrows and pleading towards her, she thought about it and had to reluctantly jump to
Sit down on that chair and plan to give the other party a little face.
Yes, just a little bit. She could talk to the other party for more than ten minutes at most, and really couldn't do more.
"Well……"
"That's right. Can I take the liberty to ask you, are you really from the Koprulu Sector of another parallel universe, and are you really the head of state of a country?"
After hesitating for a while, the old commander who had been messed up from the beginning finally spoke. He seemed to have skipped many of the planned steps and went straight to the point where he asked about some sensitive matters.
"yes!"
(..??_??..)
"What's the problem then?"
(???.???)????
Annie was a little confused, because she was sure that she had already told Uncle Ed and Sister Kelly about this boring question.
"Nothing, just..."
"Since you are the head of state and the highest official of a country, why did you suddenly appear on the Orville?"
After a pause, although he felt that this way of talking was not very good, a bit like interrogating a prisoner or questioning a subordinate, the bad old man asked again after hesitating for a while.
"Of course I'm here to play!"
?(?˙o˙?)
"It's just that when I came, this broken ship happened to be nearby, so I teleported directly to it!"
(?^▽^?)
That wasn't something that couldn't be said, so Anne didn't think much about it at all, and naturally she had no intention of hiding it.
"??"
At this time, the bad old man in the communication had not responded, but someone couldn't help it.
"Annie!"
"I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said!"
Ed seemed a little angry and unwilling to admit the fact that his new boat was a broken ship.
Although his ship had indeed just been damaged, he completed the mission and achieved a glorious record of destroying a Quill destroyer. Even though the victory was achieved by the little girl in front of him, the victory was still counted between him and
On the head of his Orville, he firmly disagreed with what Anne just said.
"..."
Fortunately, before Annie could refute, the old man signaled Ed with a scary look to stop interrupting the conversation. Then he pretended to look at Annie with a kind smile and continued to ask:
"That……"
"Your Excellency Anne, what is your purpose of coming here?"
"I mean!"
"Do you want to establish diplomatic relations with our Planetary Alliance, have a friendly visit, or have other ideas?"
for example……
To spy on their Covenant's intelligence or prepare to start a war or something?
Of course, the bad old man didn't dare to say the above words directly. After all, in his opinion, it was useless even if he said it. There was nothing he could do if the other party didn't tell the truth.
Some tacit understandings were broken.
In fact, in his opinion, the questions he asked above may not necessarily get truly effective answers. He just wants to communicate with the other party in advance. As for what to do in the future, that is not what he, the commander, needs to worry about.
Already.
"Purpose?"
(??.???)
"No, I just came here to have fun!"
(????-)?
"Didn't I just say that!"
(′～`●)
Anne gradually became impatient.
"Play?"
"this……"
"A person goes to another dimension and universe just for fun?"
"Your federation isn't worried about your safety?"
The bad old commander obviously didn't believe this.
"..."
"..."
Likewise, Ed and Kelly beside Anne secretly exchanged a look, indicating that they didn't seem to believe it either.
"Of course it's just for fun!"
(?╭╮?)
"People often go to other worlds to play, they are already used to it!"
(???3?)
Pouting her lips, Anne said that those guys, such as Galen and others, had to get used to it, because she would never ask for their consent for anything she wanted to do, and she would not tell them in advance.
Besides, she has disappeared from the protection of those people several times, and those people also know her ability, so there is nothing to worry about at all.
"this……"
At this moment, the bad old man was speechless.
"That……"
"Then you are not afraid of any danger?"
Then, after the old man rearranged his words, he continued to ask with some anxiety and uncertainty.
"Don't be afraid!"
o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o
“They are super awesome!”
Q(`⌒′Q)
"No matter what enemy you are, you can't defeat me!"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
As she spoke, Anne proudly waved her small fist towards the astonished old man, showing that she was indeed not afraid of anyone.
"I admit this!"
"Me too!"
At this time, Ed and Kelly couldn't help but speak again and expressed their views to their commander.
"..."
The bad old man didn't speak in a hurry.
Because, he remembered the previous report, and thought of the little girl's astonishing record of annihilating hundreds of Quill's landing troops by herself and piloting the Orville to make a Quill destroyer abandon the ship and surrender. Therefore, he pondered for a long time.
, and it seems that there is indeed no reason to refute the other party.
"Even if that's true."
"but……"
"Aren't you afraid of encountering unsolvable dangers?"
"for example……"
"A large Quail fleet or something?"
For a long time, the old man, who really couldn't find anything to say, could only shake his head, and then asked casually helplessly.
The little girl in front of me is indeed very powerful. The super high individual combat ability and the skill of driving a battleship displayed are truly incredible and made the entire combat staff of their planetary alliance call it impossible.
However, no matter how unbelievable it is, it did happen.
Therefore, the battle videos and battleship control data at that time were put on the table of the combat staff of the Planetary Alliance for reference, research and study, which made the old man feel very uncomfortable.
"Quell fleet and main force?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"Don't be afraid of that!"
(???3?)
"If you can't defeat him alone, you can always summon a fleet!"
??(??￣?￣)????
Although it is impossible for Annie to defeat her, if there are too many enemies that make her feel bored, or if she cannot solve the problem without using abilities beyond the enemy's understanding, she will definitely not mind summoning
Helper, after all, this is not the first time she has done something like that.
"!
"
"Summon the fleet?"
Still summoning at any time?!
Finally, when the conversation came to this point, the bad old man seemed to have grasped an important keyword, and then after thinking about it, he hurriedly asked:
"That……"
"Are your battleships strong?"
"How about the Bioville?"
Although it was a bit shameless to pry out information from an "innocent" little girl, at this moment, the old man couldn't care so much because he had just obtained the authorization to learn as much as possible from the little girl.
Much information.
Of course, he believed that the same order should be passed to Ed and Kelly soon, so that they can learn as much as possible from the little girl in the future?
"..."
(′???`)
Blinking, Anne did not rush to answer, but began to think hard and compare.
"There seems to be no comparison at all!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
"The Orville is still too small. The Federation of Heroes in the Nakpuru Sector has many very large battleships, as well as protoss motherships and insect swarm Leviathans, etc.
!”
(*?′╰╯`?)
"Some of them are as big as a city. In comparison, your heavy cruisers are still far behind. Their firepower and shields are too weak!"
?*?(ˊ?ˋ*)?*?
Anne said with a proud look on her face, and ah, she wasn't talking nonsense, it was indeed a cruel fact.
In fact, not only in terms of battleships, but also in terms of forces, population, territory, etc., there is absolutely no comparison between the two sides! For the Federation of Heroes that currently occupies an unknown number of universes and annexed many worlds,
In other words, the gap between the Planetary Alliance and the Federation is as disappointing as that between a newborn human baby and a senior Titan!
Of course, Annie didn't want to talk too much about that kind of thing to the hot-tempered old man in front of her, so as not to shock the other person and make him lose his temper or something like that.
"That……"
"How many do you have in your fleet?"
At this time, the old man's expression was already a little unnatural, and his tone was a little stiff, but he still stubbornly continued to ask, as if he wanted to get a number from Anne's mouth that would make him less nervous.
“A lot!”
＼(⌒?⌒*)
"Um……"
(′???`)
"Those larger than the Orville must be at least over 100 million ships, right?"
?(?^o^?)?
"or more?"
(=^▽^=)
Anne was not sure about this, so after thinking about it, she only gave a relatively conservative number.
Anyway, she really doesn’t know the current total number of the three fleets of her Hero Federation, especially after it has spread to countless worlds, she doesn’t know even more, and she never cares about that kind of boredom.
things.
However, if it is simply larger than a battleship, the Orville is really not even worthy of carrying shoes.
even……
Firepower, armor, shields, etc. are all far behind?
besides!
It seems that in that Mass Effect world, she also has many nearly endless fleets of reapers under her control?
If the other party hadn't asked, she would have almost forgotten that there were those reapers who had almost 'slandered' her as a bad guy before.
"!
"
"One, one hundred million?!"
"impossible!"
"my God!"
"What kind of joke is this!?"
Not long after Annie finished speaking, the three people present in the Planetary Alliance, including the bad old man, were all shocked, and the old man in the picture almost couldn't breathe.
For now, Anne's precise teleportation technology that breaks through defenses and teleports out of thin air is beyond their imagination. Regardless of whether the so-called coming from another world plane is true or not, Anne's inadvertent expression
Some of the technologies developed, such as fixed-point teleportation, weapons that defeated Quill's troops, and exaggerated driving skills, are enough to prove that the other party must have come from a terrifying country or force with technology that is no less than that of their Planetary Alliance, and if
If there are hundreds of millions of spaceships bigger than the Orville, then they really have no hope of resistance.
Although, so far, the other party has never shown any hostility towards their planetary alliance, they cannot help but be wary of some of the worst possible scenarios.
"I'm not kidding!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
Anne answered firmly again, indicating that she was really not talking nonsense or joking now.
"That……"
"Then why are you here?"
"I mean!"
"What do you want from us here?"
After a long time, the old man asked with a frightened look on his face, hoping that Annie could tell a purpose that would make him less nervous.
"Nothing you want!"
(lll￢ω￢)
"I'm just here to have fun!"
???(＿＿*)??
Finally, Anne became impatient, because none of the questions she was interested in were asked by the other party!
"I won't tell you anymore!"
o(*｀ー′)o
"I'm going to see the eggs laid by that weird uncle, the crooked star man. Goodbye!"
ヾ(⌒?⌒*)~?
After saying that, regardless of what the bad old man thought, Annie jumped down from the chair, waved to Uncle Ed and Sister Kelly, and walked away cheering.
