It is getting dark, and this hemisphere of the planet is getting ready to enter night.
At this time, helmsman Gordon and little Annie were walking in the wilderness one after another, with a distance of about one or two kilometers between them.
Because, unlike Annie who was able to jump around in the dark wilderness without any hindrance even wearing a skirt, Gordon who was following behind was traveling at such a speed in this wilderness that it could be described as horrific and slow.
Not only was he walking slowly, he had even turned on the lighting function of his portable communicator and held the advanced laser particle weapon tightly in his other hand. While chasing Annie, he did not forget
Be on guard against wild beasts or other potential dangers that may emerge at any time in the dark.
To be honest, if his communication device could not firmly lock each other's position based on the same communicator carried by Annie, he might have been lost and lost.
However, even if they are not lost now, the distance between him and Anne is gradually getting wider as the night falls.
'Lieutenant Gordon!'
'Through the scan, I found that Annie was approaching a Bronze Age village with at least a hundred life signals inside.'
'repeat!'
'She is getting closer.'
'According to the laws of the Planetary Alliance, any contact with primitive civilization is illegal, which will affect the development of primitive civilization and cause cultural pollution.'
'So, Lieutenant, I strongly recommend that you try to stop her as soon as possible.'
At this time, Gordon, who was traveling, suddenly received a communication and a warning message from the robot Isaac. Then he also discovered that Isaac thoughtfully marked the location of the village on the map, and that was shocking.
Not far in front of Annie's direction?
"receive!"
"Isaac, I know, I'll rush over right now. It's useless if you rush me, I'm already very fast!"
"Damn it!"
"Why is this a cliff? How did Annie get down just now?"
"alright!"
"Let's not talk about it for now."
"I have to find a place to go down, and then I can try to catch up again, so that's it for now!"
After saying that, Gordon hurriedly turned off the communication when he encountered a small cliff. Then, while using a light to illuminate the road ahead, he angrily began to look for a safe way to go down the mountain among the rocks, weeds and thorn bushes.
road.
…
While Gordon was still cautiously taking a detour and arduously going down the mountain to catch up, it didn't take long for Annie to follow the firelight and arrive outside the village of the primitive alien people.
"..."
|??﹃?`)
Then, at a glance, she saw the primitive people of the village inside. They were singing and dancing around a bonfire, and the meat of several unknown large animals was hung around the bonfire and roasted by the flames.
, which made her drool just by looking at it.
"..."
(?ω?)
And from the clothes of those people and the stone tools, bone tools and very few bronzes placed around them, it is not difficult for Anne to guess what kind of period this place is in. It was indeed the same time as a certain robot uncle.
Pretty much what was stated in the message he sent when he warned her.
Of course, it doesn't matter what stage the other party is in.
"..."
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
Because Annie doesn’t care what period the other person is from!
All she knew was that those crooked people should be celebrating some kind of festival, and ah, the meat from unknown creatures that they were grilling at the moment was so fragrant, even if it didn’t have much seasoning, even if it was the meat she had eaten the other day.
I could smell it clearly even from more than 100 meters away.
At the same time, there was also the broth simmering in the big clay pots. With the rolling steam coming out, it was of course the kind of smell that made her want to stop smelling it.
Anne also saw that the 'primitive people' seemed to be preparing to perform some kind of sacrificial activity?
So, at this time, they actually took the meat of the most roasted, fragrant and largest creature from the campfire and put it on a wooden plate, and several people respectfully carried it to a stone wall.
On the high platform, and then they all started to gather around the high platform, chanting some kind of slogans and worshiping?
"..."
(???)?
"It looks delicious..."
(?′?﹃?`?)
"I want to eat……"
(????)
I ran out to play for a long time today, especially after experiencing the plane crash and wandering in the wilderness. Annie was really hungry now, so when she saw so many delicious food in other people's homes, she
I can't move any more.
"Um……"
(????)
So, of course, she began to think seriously and rack her brains, thinking about what she should do in order to confidently go over and get a share, and openly eat the big fish that those people enshrined on the stone altar.
Fragrant meat from an unknown animal?
If you just rush over and grab it, there will definitely be no problem in terms of technology and force!
but!
In terms of morality, she will definitely be condemned to a certain extent. After all, her little bear Tibbs also wants to save face. If she lets him come out to help her snatch food from a group of primitive people, it will spread a lot.
Shameful?
Therefore, she must think and study carefully, seriously, and carefully, and must come up with a good way to eat other people's delicious specialties in an upright manner without being too embarrassed.
Just come out!
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"Hmm..."
(?~?)
"do not care!"
o(*｀ー′)o
"Just do it! If you wait any longer, the meat will get cold!"
-=????=?????(?)?
Soon, the food was in front of her but she couldn't eat it. Anne couldn't bear that kind of thing no matter what. So, after thinking about it again and again, she finally made up her mind not to think about it anymore, and just cheered and headed forward.
Ran over.
'Annie!'
'don't want!
’
In the distance, Gordon, who was staggering in the darkness, apparently noticed Annie's speeding up. Knowing what Annie wanted to do, of course he shouted loudly through the communicator again to stop her.
.
'Absolutely not!'
'Annie!'
At this time, Gordon's voice rang again on the communicator hanging on Anne's waist.
'Listen to me, according to the laws of the Planetary Alliance, any contact with primitive civilizations in any way will cause pollution to their civilization!'
'That will affect the development of the other party's civilization, and that is a crime!'
'I beg you!'
'Stop it quickly, you've had enough fun, it's time for us to go back!'
'Isaac will definitely repair the shuttle boat soon, obedient, let's leave quickly!'
He just trembled and begged in a pleading tone that was almost crying, eager for Anne to stop her reckless behavior and listen to his advice to leave the village and go back to the Orville with him.
“…..”
(??ω??)
However, Annie didn't even listen, and didn't bother to say or explain. She just reached out and forcibly closed the communicator that was making her a little impatient.
"snort!"
o(′^｀)o
"They have to go. Besides, it's not certain who will pollute whom!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Whether it is pollution or not, Anne said that she has been exposed to so many civilizations, and she has been to all kinds of weird and weird worlds that she can’t even count, and she has never seen any pollution!
Besides, she, the Head of State Anne, is not from their planetary alliance. If she wants to do something, how can she get the other party to tell her what to do?
Besides, she's been on the Orville for such a long time, haven't those stupid guys gotten used to her way of being wanton and doing whatever she wants?
And if there really wasn't, then Anne had to make a temporary decision. This time, she had to make them have a deeper impression of her?
"Come on Tibbs!"
(?^▽^?)
"Let's go have a big dinner!"
?(?)?
After saying that, Annie didn't think about anything else anymore. She just carried her little bear and strode forward carelessly. Then she suddenly flashed and disappeared in an instant.
Next second!
Very suddenly, in a pillar of light that soared into the sky, she just carried her little bear Tibbers, and under the shocked and even fanatical looks of all the 'primitive people', she slowly descended with the light pillar in a majestic manner.
And appeared at the highest point of the altar.
"?!"
"Damn it!"
At this time, of course, Gordon, who was still far away from the village, saw on the map on the communicator screen that Annie's position instantly appeared in the middle of the village. So, after finding that he still couldn't contact him, he had to
The Orville was called.
"Gordon calls the Orville, I can't stop that little Annie!"
"You should have also seen that she turned off the communicator and entered the primitive village. Now she is in contact!"
"What do I do next?"
"Please advise?"
Although he knew that the Orville in the universe must have been monitoring the specific situation of him and Annie throughout the entire process, Gordon still had to reiterate the fact he had just seen, and did not forget to transfer his responsibilities at the same time.
Picking it off cleanly means that he has really tried his best, and if anything happens in the future, he must not be blamed on him.
‘…’
'Lieutenant Gordon!'
'Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly are currently resting and I cannot call them.'
'Do you need me to activate emergency preparedness and forcefully wake them up?'
After a moment of silence, the deep and powerful voice of Petrus, the second officer on the Orville who was exercising the responsibilities and powers of the captain, came through the communication, indicating that the other party also knew the general situation on the planet's surface.
"Go and wake up Ed and the others?"
"forget it!"
"J."
"It's useless for you to call them now. You know that Annie, she will definitely not listen to them!"
"And they've been drinking all night and have just gone to bed."
After thinking about it, Gordon finally had to sigh in frustration and reject Pettus's proposal, saying that things had happened and there was no use doing anything now.
"so!"
"I'll follow you over first and take a look!"
"And then find a way to persuade her to leave as soon as possible?"
"complete!"
After speaking, Gordon put away the communicator and let out a heavy breath.
Immediately afterwards, he repaired for a while before raising his head again and staggering in the dark toward the village in the distance that had a firelight in the darkness and was at least a thousand meters away from him.
Until now, he only hoped that things would not become irreversible when he rushed over.
But...
It turns out that Gordon still underestimated the ability of a troublesome little girl to get into trouble.
Isn’t this?
After a full ten minutes, Gordon barely arrived outside the Bronze Age tribal village and began to spy secretly. He was horrified to discover at a glance: beside the bonfire in the dark night, a certain troubled little girl was looking at those Bronze Age tribesmen.
The contact between primitive people has obviously reached an irreversibly bad state!
Anyway, Gordon only saw that the miserable little girl was sitting on the highest altar next to the bonfire, enjoying the delicacies offered to her by the primitive people of the Bronze Age, and watching them carelessly.
People under the stage surrounded her, singing, dancing and cheering.
Then, Gordon discovered in despair that she was still using storage technology that even the Orville could not figure out so far, that is, she could store a lot of stuff at a glance from her magical 'pocket'.
I know that food that is not suitable for this era, that is, ice cream, chocolate, rice cakes, candies, biscuits, jelly, various meats and even canned drinks, etc., I have made a lot of them, and there is no trace of them.
Give without scruple and share with the primitive people who know how to cheer?
"oh!"
"God damn it!"
"It's completely over now!"
"I knew it!"
After an unknown amount of time, when Gordon finally came to his senses, he hurriedly took out his communicator. While contacting the Orville, he also raised it and pointed it at the distance.
He started filming crazily at the scene that frightened him:
"Hey!"
"Pertus!"
"Did you all see it too?"
"terribly sorry!"
"I...I really tried my best, but I still couldn't stop her in time!"
"Look!"
"What has she done?!"
The matter has become irreversible now, so much so that Gordon couldn't help but vibrate when he spoke.
"God damn it!"
"I……"
"Again, I state it!"
"This matter has nothing to do with me. If anything happens in the future, please don't come to me!"
"It's none of my business!"
"You have all seen that I have really tried my best!
"
Gordon, who was filming the communication and letting the Orville see clearly what was happening in front of him, did not forget to clarify his relationship again, saying that he had no direct or indirect relationship with the bad little girl in front of him who did whatever he wanted.
Relationship, everything is the other person’s personal behavior and has nothing to do with him!
‘…’
'The Orville received it!'
After a long time, Petrus, the second officer on the Orville, gave this answer abruptly, and then... nothing more happened after that.
Obviously, the second mate who was exercising the duties and powers of the captain should have been frightened by Anne's random behavior, so that even when the captain and first mate were not around, he couldn't do anything good.
Countermeasures.
"That….."
"Should I continue to be on standby?"
"Or go and take her away?"
"The Orville?"
"Pertus?"
"..."
"hateful!"
After waiting for a while and calling several times, Gordon had no choice but to contact the robot Isaac instead, but received no further instructions or reply from the Orville and Second Officer Petrus.
"Hello!"
"Isaac!"
"The situation here is not optimistic. Annie is too messy. How much time do you have before you can repair that damn shuttle boat?"
"We have to go back quickly!"
"real!"
That’s right!
Gordon was indeed a little frightened. At the moment, he just wanted to let Isaac repair the spacecraft quickly and then escape back to the Orville with a certain trouble-making little girl. He didn't want to suddenly appear here for a moment.
I spent a lot of time on an alien planet.
After all, Gordon really couldn't bear the crime of polluting and interfering with a primitive civilization, and he had no desire to leave his post as helmsman of the Orville and go to prison to work on a sewing machine or do handwork!
Although sewing machines and handicrafts were already features of prisons in the Earth Age hundreds of years ago, Gordon was not sure whether those prisons would continue to retain such special programs in order to punish prisoners.
I don't want to know at all.
'Lieutenant!'
'There is some deviation from the estimate. It is estimated that the repair will be completed in three hours and twenty minutes!'
'Please wait.'
'I will turn on stealth mode to pick you up after the repairs are completed.'
Unlike the silent second officer Petrus on the Orville, the robot Isaac who was repairing the shuttle engine on a mountaintop was much more cheerful. The other party quickly gave an accurate time in the communication and told Gordon
Comforting.
"Three, more than three hours?"
"All right!"
"It seems there is no hope at all!"
"So be it!"
"complete!"
Hearing that there was still such a long time, Gordon had no choice but to turn off the communicator in annoyance, and had to sigh and continue to hide in the dark corner, watching the bad little girl in the village and the primitive people eating, drinking, singing and dancing.
With.
"Hello!"
ヾ(⌒?⌒*)?
"Uncle Gordon, do you want to come over and have some too?"
?(?^o^?)?
However, before Gordon could continue to lurk, the troubled little girl discovered him first, and then took the initiative to stand up on the altar and kept waving at him and shouting invitations.
"!
"
Oh haha!
He looked at the troubled little girl waving at him in the distance, and then looked at the people who were watching in confusion, but after discovering him, they immediately became respectful, but they were still holding various kinds of things in their hands.
Such delicacies and canned drinks are so 'primitive' that Gordon really didn't know what to say other than wailing in his heart.
"It's really over now!"
"..."
