The news that the Planetary Alliance's Orville spacecraft successfully rescued nearly 10,000 "missing persons" imprisoned in the Kallivan Zoo from the Calivans instantly pushed the originally inconspicuous Planetary Alliance dominated by humans on Earth.
On top of the storm.
Immediately afterwards, after the rescued persons were sent back to their respective civilized planets, at least thousands of civilized administrative units sent messages of thanks, communications or congratulatory messages to the Planetary Alliance. This caught the Planetary Alliance off guard and at the same time, it also
He will have a strong sense of presence and his reputation on the cantilever of the Milky Way Earth will reach a new level.
then!
Relevant personnel of the Orville, such as the acting captain Arora who successfully rescued Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly, were naturally promoted to captain and received awards from the Planet Alliance headquarters, becoming the direct victims of this incident.
One of the beneficiaries.
Of course, whether it is the crew of the Orville, the Planetary Alliance, or the Calivans, they all know that things are not as reported outside, and the actual credit has not much to do with Alola.
, however, in view of some inhumane factors, in the end, with the tacit understanding of all parties, it was Captain Arora, the Hilian security officer, who took all the responsibility.
Then, after the commendation, the matter ended in a hurry.
And a certain instigator is still stranded on the Orville as the 'distinguished guest', except that the Planetary Alliance secretly sent a senior member of the Alliance to visit the Orville one day after the 'Cullivan Incident' and
Other than meeting someone, nothing much changes.
As for someone who had done something extremely heinous, such as seizing the Orville by force, no one wanted to mention it at all. The entire Planet Alliance Headquarters and Fleet Headquarters acted in a tacit agreement to act deaf and dumb, as if
It's like nothing happened.
But the people on the Orville knew that things had quietly changed. At least, as far as they knew, the little girl who seemed to be omnipotent had received a very high level of authority.
Is it equal to or equivalent to the existence of Captain Ed?
When another ten or twenty days passed, and everything calmed down, the only thing that made everyone on the Orville think about it and couldn't figure it out was: what exactly did their little acting captain launch on the Calivans that day?
, only then did things take a 180-degree turn?
In this regard, the Calivans did not say anything, and a certain troubled little girl did not mention it herself. No valuable records were found on the Orville, and then, this matter became a mystery inexplicably.
Eucalyptus has become the biggest unsolved mystery of this century, and has been puzzling everyone on the Planetary Alliance and the Orville.
Soon, those things gradually passed, and no one mentioned it again for the time being, because a lot of new news happened on the Orville, such as the egg laid by the second officer Petrus was hatched, and the other party was happy to have a baby.
There is a woman, but for some reason she prefers boys over girls. She is also clamoring for the ship's doctor Claire to help with a sex reassignment operation. This has caused a stir on the Orville. Moreover, the Orville has now received a new mission to save the planet and must do so within a time limit.
Complete and so on.
Fortunately, the incident at Second Officer Pettus's house was ruthlessly rejected by Captain Ed on the grounds that it violated many laws of the Star Alliance. The other party temporarily stopped and did not cause more trouble.
Everyone was finally able to take a breath and focus on a more important task.
"!
"
"captain!"
"Found that bastard!"
After the Orville searched for a certain orbit in this star field for several days, they finally found their mission target before the limited time came - it was a dark planet, even if there is an orbit in the universe
Irregular asteroids that are also extremely difficult to detect.
It turns out that the Planetary Alliance's space station observed the asteroid and learned that it would hit a certain planet in the near future and threaten the evolving life on the planet. Therefore, based on the principles of fairness and justice and respecting the right of all life to evolve,
The Alliance of Planets headquarters dispatched the Orville, a heroic ship that had become famous recently but had nothing to do, to perform the rescue mission.
And this is why helmsman Gordon, navigator John and others cheered directly on the bridge after finding the target.
"Where is it?"
|?˙?˙)
At this time, Anne happened to be hanging around on the bridge, so before Captain Ed could say anything, she couldn't wait to run between Gordon and John, and stood on tiptoes and stared out the porthole with her eyes wide.
Look.
"Yeah! Is that it?"
!(;?o?)o
"It doesn't look very big!"
(lll￢▽￢)
Then soon, Anne saw the boring lump of stone, which was only a few times the size of the Orville at most.
"According to observations, its radius is nearly 300 meters at its smallest point and more than 600 meters at its largest point."
"Given that the atmosphere of the planet in front is thin, if it continues to advance at the current speed and collides, at least 99% of the life on that planet will be extinct."
"We have to crush it as soon as possible or change its trajectory."
After hearing Anne's words, Isaac, the engineer sitting at his post not far from the bridge, directly told what he observed, and listed a series of data on the porthole of the bridge, such as the crushing
What is the maximum radius of the debris that cannot be exceeded, or where the booster needs to be installed to change its orbit, etc.
"I saw."
"How much time does it have until it hits the planet?"
Seeing that the target he had been searching for for many days was finally found, Captain Ed, who had been tortured by various things in the past few days, finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly.
"Report to Captain."
"We have one month and seventeen days left."
“Very generous.”
"But if you choose to crush it, the optimal operation time is only seventeen minutes. This can ensure that under the interference of the star's gravity, its fragments will not cause harm to the planet at all."
"After seventeen minutes, if you can't crush it, you can only try to change its trajectory."
Almost instantly, the robot Isaac answered Captain Ed's question and placed an accurate countdown directly on the screen in the large porthole of the bridge.
"Seventeen minutes?"
"enough!"
"Lieutenant Rama!"
"Now, activate the laser cutting light and we'll chop it up!"
After taking a look at the countdown, without waiting for Captain Ed to speak, First Officer Kelly on the side directly ordered the weapons technician.
"clear!"
Almost at the moment when the countdown started, Lieutenant Rama completed his work and fired a laser cutting beam from the main gun on the bow of the Orville to the star that they were tightly locked on and kept running in sync.
The asteroid shines away.
"ha!"
(?ω?)
"It seems like fun, let people come!"
??(???*)
Seeing this, before the gunner next to the weapons technician started working, Anne cheered, couldn't wait to run to the opponent's side and pushed him away from his post arrogantly.
"this!"
"Ship, Captain?"
As a last resort, the officer who was pushed out of his seat and still didn't dare to disobey had to look for help at Captain Ed behind him.
After all, Anne now has a very high reputation and strength, and he does not dare to provoke or disobey her easily.
"okay."
"Just let her play for a while!"
After waving his hand to signal the man to quickly give up his seat, Ed muttered with some dissatisfaction.
"It's no use looking for me!"
In Ed's view, Anne is now the best in terms of reputation, authority, status or force on the Orville. Even his and Kelly's lives were saved by the other party.
Therefore, as long as the ship is not blown up, he will pay as little attention as possible to other matters or ignore them at all.
But Digu returned to Digu, and the mission still had to be completed. It was a major matter related to the life and death of a planet, and there was no room for sloppiness.
"Annie!"
"You only have seventeen...no, sixteen minutes!"
"Don't screw it up!"
Therefore, even if he had known Annie's ability for a long time, knew that the opponent would have no problem attacking the battleship, and there should be no surprises in cutting that kind of asteroid, Ed thought about it, and still had to warn him cautiously.
"Yeah! Got it!"
(?￣?￣?) Okay
Annie responded impatiently, and then began to operate, using the laser beam to quickly cut on the asteroid.
"correct!"
"Annie, I remember, weren't you supposed to be playing the holographic simulation game in Gordon's room?"
Anyway, there was still time, and seeing that Annie was doing the job vigorously, Ed suddenly asked strangely when he was bored with waiting.
"We obtained the technology of the Calivans, and the holographic simulation technology has become better."
"you……"
"Don't you want to try?"
Thinking of the fact that this time the Calivans set up a trap to catch him and Kelly, but in the end they lost his wife and lost their troops, Ed couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth with a slight arc.
"Don't go!"
o(′^｀)o
"Those games are too easy!"
(?~?)
"Not fun at all!"
(?╭╮?)
Annie continued to operate the laser seriously and muttered without looking back.
"Gordon?"
Hearing Annie's answer, Ed was a little surprised, and then quickly looked at his friend and helmsman Gordon.
"Didn't you adjust the difficulty?"
"You didn't set the easiest entry level, did you?"
He remembered reminding Gordon to increase the difficulty of the game so that the troubled little girl in front of him could use up her excess energy. After all, with that entry-level difficulty, even he could successfully pass the level every time.
Not to mention the quirky little girl in front of me.
It's best to have a high difficulty or a hell difficulty, even if it's not a hell level, otherwise, it's not an option if the opponent comes to his bridge all day long to cause trouble, isn't it?
"Sir!"
"I swear!"
"I have adjusted the difficulty of the game to the highest level and even secretly changed the program, but she still won!"
"I really tried my best."
Gordon immediately turned his chair and slumped his shoulders towards Ed, showing that he was really helpless.
"Then change the game!"
"For example, Dragon Quest, Western cowboys killing Indians, or a magic academy or something?"
"You have a lot of games in your collection, don't you?"
Seeing Gordon's expression, Ed was a little surprised, but he quickly thought of a countermeasure and glanced at Annie. After realizing that she wasn't paying attention, he quietly reached over and gave his suggestion to the other party.
Last year, during the year when Ed was depressed and alcoholic, he was addicted to fake holographic simulation games for a while, and once again spent a month unable to break through a difficult game, so,
He thinks that using that method to deal with a child like Annie would be a good choice?
"No way!"
"She's played them all!"
"and……"
"She has passed all the levels. They are all at hell level difficulty. She has passed them all without missing a single one!"
Glancing at Anne secretly, Gordon could only reply quietly with a wry smile.
"!
"
"Have you played everything?"
"Isn't it possible?"
"I've only played two!"
Ed was surprised again.
"Not surprisingly!"
"You only have one hour of rest per week, and she..."
"There are twenty-four hours in a day!"
Gordon rolled his eyes at his old friend and captain angrily, saying that there was nothing to say about that kind of thing, and that sailors like them who needed to work and perform tasks and children who had nothing to do after they were full had nothing to do with it.
There's no comparison at all.
"But!"
"You have at least a hundred classic games in your collection, right?"
"Has she played it all?"
"Passed the highest difficulty level?"
Ed was still in disbelief and confirmed to Gordon again in a low voice.
"All right!"
"Perhaps when we return to Earth next time, I should consider buying you a gift package of classic games, and give you all the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine games?"
"Anyway, I haven't had any household expenses for more than a year. It's useless to keep the money. It's just a set of numbers."
After receiving an affirmative look from Gordon, Ed started planning with emotion, and even picked up a cup of coffee, saying that he, a captain without a family, no longer had to worry about the financial situation.
"Kelly..."
"Am I right?"
As he said this, Ed raised his eyebrows provocatively at the first mate on the side.
Because he is the captain, he has enough to eat for one person and the whole family is not hungry, and he does not have to spend on any unnecessary things other than himself. In addition, food, clothing, and accommodation are free on the ship, so the excellent salary is enough for him to do what he wants.
Anything you want to do without anyone's permission.
"..."
Unfortunately, the first mate Kelly on the side just followed Gordon's example and rolled her eyes at him without saying anything else.
"Ha ha!"
???(?)????
"look!"
ヾ(⌒?⌒*)?
"It's done!"
?*.?(ˊωˋ*)??*.
At this time, before Ed and Kelly could say anything, Annie, who was busy just now, suddenly put down the operating lever and turned around to cheer towards Ed and Kelly.
"??"
"So fast?"
Subconsciously, while drinking coffee, Ed raised his head and glanced out the porthole.
"!
"
"this!"
"God damn it!"
"Oh My God!"
"Wow!"
"awesome!"
"ha?"
"..."
Almost at the same time, other crew members also saw it, so they all exclaimed or admired, and even cast an unbelievable expression towards Anne.
"!
"
puff!
At this time, Ed also saw the scene outside the port window clearly, and then squirted the coffee in his mouth at his ex-wife Kelly next to him, and then hurriedly explained that he was not taking the opportunity to retaliate, and then hurriedly persuaded Anne
:
"Annie!"
"I also know that your shooting skills are very good!"
"but……"
Ignoring the water droplets on his chest, he looked at the lifelike and grinning giant head outside the front porthole, and looked at the familiar face shining dazzlingly under the reflection of the star's light. Ed couldn't wait to see it.
Find a hole and crawl into it.
"But you're not going to use laser cutting light to cut the asteroid into my head, right?"
"Is that ridiculous?!"
Yes, that avatar belongs to no one, it is none other than Captain Ed!
Although he sincerely admired Annie's uncanny micro-control skills, but unlike the crew members who were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, when he thought that the mission record was still on and the image was likely to be spread throughout the world
The Alliance of Planets became a new topic after he was captured, sent to a zoo and visited by others. He really wanted to die.
"hurry up!"
"Destroy it!"
"We only have twelve...well, only eleven minutes and fifty-two seconds left!"
"Be smart!"
"Cut it smaller?"
After barely suppressing the anger and helplessness in his heart, Ed persuaded Annie again.
At this time, he could already imagine that for a long time to come, he was afraid that he would become the laughing stock on the Orville again.
Maybe, his little remaining prestige as a captain will really drop to that negative value.
What's even more frightening is that the captain has already suffered a lot of criticism from the headquarters regarding the incident involving the Cullivan and the Orville. If it weren't for Anne's identity and the pressure from the Planetary Alliance, he might have been dismissed from his post.
So, he really doesn’t want to be discovered by the headquarters or the Planetary Alliance that they are not doing their job properly when performing the mission of destroying the asteroid, cutting the asteroid directly into his Captain Ed appearance, that kind of boring and dereliction of duty thing
.
Although Annie's technology and micro-control ability are indeed terrifying, it is estimated that only the robot Isaac has the chance to achieve this kind of computing power on the entire Orville, but no matter what, it is very bad, especially when the opponent is in such a situation.
If you mess around with serious work, the impact will be very bad!
"All right!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
"Then let's change it again..."
(O ^~^ O)
Seeing that the idiot Uncle Ed was not satisfied, Annie thought about it and quickly started to operate again.
A few minutes later……
Not surprisingly, Annie repeated her old trick and carved the asteroid into the outline of a familiar guy with a funny look squatting on a rubber ball.
"??"
"he is……"
"Who is that?"
"have no idea."
"But it looks like Second Officer Petrus?"
"It's really similar!"
"But……"
"Then he is sitting in that position. Is there any explanation?"
"who knows?"
Soon, when Anne's second work appeared, the crew members on the bridge were amazed again and at the same time, they couldn't help but began to point and discuss in low voices, trying to figure out what Anne wanted to express this time.
What does it mean.
"ah!"
Unlike others, security officer Alora seemed to know what it was, and then of course she covered her mouth and exclaimed, and at the same time her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
"my God!"
"Second gunner!"
"Crush it!
"
"Right now!"
At this time, after Ed and Kelly looked at each other, he seemed to remember what Annie was carving this time, and then hurriedly gave an order to the other gunner.
"As you command!"
Although he was very puzzled, the deputy gunner did not dare to neglect, and soon used the secondary gun to smash the performance art statue of Second Officer Petrus, which was vividly carved by Anne, into pieces with a few cannons!
"What are you doing!"
o(*｀ー′)o
Seeing this, Anne of course glared at that idiot Uncle Ed angrily, expressing her dissatisfaction with the other person's behavior of destroying her work.
"Annie..."
"Don't play with Petrus's privacy!"
"They just hatched a little baby, what you're doing is bad!"
"This is no joke!"
Ed didn't mind, he just shook his head with a straight face and scolded Anne without any pain.
"but……"
"Speaking of that baby..."
"Kelly!"
"What are we going to do?"
Then, Ed, who didn't know what he was thinking of, stopped talking and turned around to discuss in a low voice with the first mate's ex-wife Kelly, who was sitting next to him and was wiping water stains on her body with a dark face.
"..."
(????)
"snort!"
(???3?)
"Ignore you!"
-=????=????(｀?′)?
Finding that nothing was going on here on the bridge, and seeing everyone else starting to perform their duties and busy with task completion and inspection, after waiting for a while, Annie found that no one was chatting with her anymore, so she found herself in the room of a certain weapons technical officer.
With a look in his eyes, he left his seat and walked angrily towards the outside of the bridge.
