Rarely, the Orville entered the Quill territory smoothly, and under the escort of three Quill warships, it reached Quill's main star, Darakos, without encountering any problems.
.
Immediately afterwards, the Orville stayed in the orbit of the planet together with the three Quill warships and waited patiently.
But...
There were no surprises, the super fun and super exciting event that Anne was secretly looking forward to actually happened.
As for what exactly happened and why it turned out like that, Anne didn't know, and she didn't care much.
Because she did not go with the delegation to the planet Darakos, the main star of the Quils, to participate in the signing of the contract, so she, like Aunt Kelly and others who were staying on the Orville at this moment, just
only know:
In addition to the President of the Alkuzan Star Alliance, the member of the Balask Star Alliance, the Star Alliance Admiral Halsey, the stupid captain Uncle Ed, and the beautiful young lady whose name Anne could not remember, the second lieutenant, a group of five people were landing on Dart.
Not long after the planet Lakos, they suddenly lost all contact with the Orville?
Immediately afterwards, when the Orville secretly accessed the network of the planet Darakos and discovered on the civilian channel that Trina had unexpectedly won the election and had also publicly executed the former Commander Colin.
, everyone in the bridge finally gradually realized the seriousness of the situation.
"ah!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"It seems that the president who wanted to sign a contract with your planetary alliance was really killed by the new female president!"
=????('ヮ'=????)
Seeing the video played on the large porthole of the Orville, Anne, who was sitting in Captain Ed's seat, ignored Aunt Kelly, who was also shocked and didn't know what to say, and just mind her own business.
He opened his beautiful big eyes and exclaimed.
After her confirmation, it was obvious that the video was real and not fake like that kind of propaganda.
"That is to say!"
(ー`′ー)
"Uncle Ed and the others have probably been arrested?"
(???.???)????
"Or……"
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
"Like the unlucky former president, who was defeated by the new president?"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
After a while, when the video was completely played, Annie, who found no more valuable intelligence or information, thought for a moment, and then turned to the first mate Kelly who was also extremely shocked and worried about something.
asked.
"..."
Peng!
Kelly, who punched the armrest and stood up, didn't answer. She just stood in front of her first officer's seat with her mouth open.
"Damn it!"
"Didn't you say she can't win?"
"how so?!"
At this time, her face, which was extremely shocked, just kept changing, and for the first time, she imitated Gordon and others and used swear words to curse her.
Thinking about it, all the details of the franchise negotiations between the Planetary Alliance and the Quills have been discussed, and the relationship between the two parties is further deepening. Now all that is left is to formally sign the ceremony and make it public.
But the result...
At this juncture, Commander Colin's re-election campaign, which he had sworn he would have no problem with, has failed outrageously. Not only did he lose his own life, but he also made the delegation of the Alliance of Planets directly
All members have lost contact. It is very likely that the situation is already in danger at this moment?
Kelly never expected this outcome, could she not scold her?
In fact, not only did she want to scold her, she even scolded 'God', who in this era has long ceased to be people's belief and has long been reduced to a certain modality!
Thanks to them, the Orville had made all kinds of preparations before, to guard against Treya's desperate attempt to assassinate the delegation or the attack by Chiron's machine fleet, but in the end, those preparations had no effect at all, and the other party came directly.
In one fell swoop, he won the election and publicly killed former Commander Colin, who had advocated signing a contract with the Planetary Alliance?
And what impact Treya would have on the signing of the contract if she did that kind of thing in public immediately after being elected as the commander-in-chief, Kelly didn't have to think too much to know!
Therefore, she began to worry about the delegation, Ed and others who suddenly lost contact with the Orville.
Actually, the safety of Captain Ed doesn't matter. The fact that makes Kelly feel extremely frightened and desperate now is that the three people in the delegation are all heavyweights in the Planetary Alliance!
One is the president of the Planetary Alliance, one is a parliamentarian, and the other is a military general. Once those three people are killed by Treya like Commander Colin, then the Planetary Alliance and the Quail people will definitely be in trouble.
It will soon become a fight to the death and start a war!
At that time, while facing the robot attack from Chiron, the Planetary Alliance will also need to face the threat of the Quail people at the same time. That kind of bad situation of fighting on two fronts, if one thing goes wrong, they will fall to another timeline.
The 'vicissitudes of life' Kelly and the 'vicissitudes of life' Ed and others in it were in the same miserable situation, which she did not want to see under any circumstances.
"ah?"
"Mate Kelly!"
"Look, what did I find?"
At this time, taking advantage of the opportunity for the robot Isaac to break through the Quill people's network and start collecting information, Gordon, who was browsing various information on the Quill people's civilian network, suddenly exclaimed and told him what he saw
Various articles and videos of accusations were forwarded.
"Dead vote..."
"Double counting..."
"Vote under the guise?!"
"Look, the Quill people are calling me crazy on the Internet!"
"Some people say that their grandmother has been dead for decades! Some people say that their father has been missing in the deep space for a long time and has never come back? Some people say that they did not vote at all, but the results are those
All the tickets are out!”
"Oh My God!"
“Many Quayles are clamoring for a recount and questioning the integrity of the election?”
"besides!"
"Thousands of videos and articles that were generated every second before have all disappeared. Isn't this a conspiracy?"
After using the powerful decoding ability of the robot Isaac to hack into the Quill people's civilian network and seeing the various voices of dissent and opposition to Treya's election as commander-in-chief, helmsman Gordon couldn't help but exclaim.
"okay!"
"Gordon, I don't want to know about the Quill people's electoral fraud. Now that Commander Colin is dead, it's pointless to pay attention to those minor details!"
"I just want to know now..."
"What happened to the delegation and Ed?"
"quick!"
"Go ahead and call them!"
Kelly, who stood in front of her first mate with a dark face, ordered in a cold voice, not paying any attention to the "eating melon" content that Gordon wanted to show her, nor did she pay any attention to a certain person watching the fun on the side.
A bad little girl who doesn't mind the trouble and is watching it with gusto.
"clear!"
"but……"
"To be honest, I have a bad feeling?"
With slumped shoulders, Gordon gave up watching those irrelevant videos and suppressed his curiosity, and turned to look at the navigator next to him. While watching the other person continue to call, he also looked at the Quail people from time to time.
I entered some keywords into the Internet and searched to see if I could find any information about the delegation, Ed and others from the Quill civilian channels.
"..."
At this time, the same work robot Isaac is also doing the same.
At present, their focus and goals have changed from waiting for the alliance to successfully sign and witness that historic moment to at least ensuring the life safety of the delegation and contacting the other party as soon as possible to evacuate the Quill people.
The main star is here.
"!
"
"Lieutenant Colonel!"
"The Quill warships above us are blocking us with tractor beams!"
However, while everyone was busy and waiting anxiously, the second officer Petrus suddenly issued a warning to Kelly.
"Very good!"
??(′?｀?)???
"Finally something is done!"
?*.?(ˊ▽ˋ*)??*.
After hearing what Uncle Petrus said, she had been waiting patiently, but only now did she see the Quills take action. After knowing that such a fun and exciting event finally had to happen, Anne immediately jumped for joy.
stand up.
"What are they going to do?!"
Hearing this, first mate Kelly of course cursed angrily again.
At the same time, before she could ask, the Quill people took the initiative to send a communication request. After the communication was connected immediately, everyone on the bridge finally received the official notification from Quill.
But the attitude of those Quill people and the message they want to convey are actually:
First, the alliance treaty between Quill and the Planetary Alliance has been completely abrogated by the new Commander Treya!
Second, the three Quill warships that originally escorted and monitored the Orville received an order from Commander Treya, requesting that the Orville be captured and imprisoned immediately.
Third, the Quill landing force is about to board the ship. The other party orders the Orville not to resist, otherwise, it will be killed without mercy?
"!
"
"What a joke!"
Therefore, after receiving the official attitude of the Quail people, First Officer Kelly, who no longer had any expectations for certain things, was instantly annoyed.
"Pertus!"
"Get ready to fire! Destroy the tractor beam of the enemy ship!"
"Annie!"
"We're going to fight back!"
"Do you want to pilot a battleship or a Gundam?!"
Knowing that the situation was urgent, Kelly immediately gave the order and then looked at a certain troubled little girl who was standing on the captain's seat with an expectant look on her face, as if waiting for things to get serious and asked.
The Orville is currently in a very critical situation. Not only is it in the enemy camp, but it is also surrounded by three large Quail warships. Therefore, besides relying on Anne's power, Kelly really can't think of any other solution.
A surefire way to get out of trouble.
"Of course it's a battleship!"
(?^▽^?)
"They only have three ships, which is too few. People don't want to fly Gundam anymore!"
o(*?^?*)o
With that said, Anne rushed directly to the helmsman Gordon, first pushed him away arrogantly, then jumped on and sat down, and immediately integrated the operating rights of the spacecraft's system and the main gun, fish and other weapons.
Arriving at the holographic interface in front of her.
Anne was already familiar with this kind of work. After all, it was not her first time controlling the Orville, so she completed all the preparations in less than ten seconds and gave an OK gesture to Aunt Kelly behind her.
"Right now!
"
"Fire!"
Then, First Officer Kelly resolutely gave the order to open fire.
"Successful hit!"
"Lieutenant Colonel!"
"The enemy tractor beam is offline!"
Then, as the second officer Petrus used a secondary gun on the back of the Orville to destroy the enemy ship's previous beam, Anne took action without waiting for the first officer Kelly to respond.
"quick!"
|???ω??)??
"Distribute all energy to the shield!"
(???)
After instantly ordering the navigator next to her to activate the Orville's maximum shield, Anne suddenly directed all the quantum torpedoes carried by the Orville towards the direction in front of everyone's disbelief.
The three Quail warships surrounding them spilled out.
"??"
"Damn it!"
"Everyone prepares for collision!
"
Seeing that Anne recklessly used an almost fatal attack method instead of rushing out first and then slowly thinking of a way to counterattack accurately or escape, First Officer Kelly was naturally frightened and opened the communication directly and sent messages throughout the ship.
The channel trembled and screamed.
soon!
Almost instantly, the energy tide formed after the explosion of the powerful quantum torpedo, the strong light, the fire after the explosion of the Quill warship, and a large number of debris, etc., completely submerged the Orville in an instant.
…
Ten seconds later.
As those energy tides, strong light, the fire after the explosion of the Quail warship, and a large amount of debris gradually dissipated and spread in the universe, the Orville, with its shield flashing slightly, slowly accelerated and flew out.
"my God!"
"Annie!"
"Are you crazy?"
"We will be killed by you!
"
Seeing the Orville's large portholes finally gradually restored the dark starry sky, seeing the tawny outline of Quill's main star Darakos reappear in the field of vision, knowing that the Orville was not behind the torpedo just now
Kelly, who was destroyed in the explosion of the Quill warship, hurriedly and fearfully yelled and complained loudly towards Anne, who had just launched a close-range 'self-destruction' attack.
"commander."
"The remaining value of the Orville's shield is less than one percent."
"correct."
"The shield is currently completely offline."
At this time, the robot engineer Isaac hurriedly reported, and ruthlessly explained that the Orville no longer had any shields. Just another Quill fighter plane could easily destroy or penetrate them.
fact.
"this!"
"We really almost died!"
After hearing that report, Kelly naturally exclaimed in shock again.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the Orville's shields had been upgraded and strengthened after the Earth Defense War, Annie's attack method of splashing fish at close range just now would have simultaneously blown the Orville into a giant shell in the universe.
Dusty.
"Isn't he not dead yet?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"Don't worry, I have calculated it, it should be almost just right?"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
Pouring her lips, Annie didn't take it seriously.
She just continued to drive the Orville, and as if she were piloting a fighter plane, she made large maneuvers and cut towards a certain track of Darakos, the main star of Quill in front of her.
Anyway, Anne wouldn't say that when she was waiting boredly at the beginning, she was already thinking about what she would do to get things done as soon as possible if the negotiations between the two parties did not go smoothly or if something changed.
Kill the three surrounding Quill warships that turned into enemies within the time limit?
But now, she is just executing a plan that she has been planning for a long time. Under normal circumstances, there will definitely be no surprises.
Of course, if something else happens accidentally, it can only be an accident. When the time comes, she will think of some backup plans.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"you!
"
"It will be too late if you die!"
"Anyway!"
"Annie, stop messing around!"
"Now we have no shields!"
After first warning Annie to behave a little better, Kelly quickly looked at the robot Isaac and ordered:
"Let the engineering department restore the shield quickly!"
"besides!"
"Communications Officer!"
"Contact me to the Planetary Alliance Command immediately. We must explain what happened here as soon as possible!"
After giving the order to the robot Isaac, First Officer Kelly looked at the other communications officer, preparing to inform the Orville's encounter and the fact that the delegation might have been arrested or simply killed.
To avoid being caught off guard when the Alliance is attacked by the Quills.
"Captain John Lamar!"
"Immediately execute Order 21!"
Immediately afterwards, she joined the engineering department and issued a certain order to John, the chief officer of the engineering department.
"??"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"What is Order 21?"
(?￣?￣)
Hearing Kelly behind her inexplicably give an order that she didn't understand, Annie let go of the console without hesitation and turned around to ask strangely.
"Gordon!"
"Take over the driving quickly!"
Seeing that Annie could leave her post without permission and abandon the important task of piloting the spacecraft at this time, Kelly first hurriedly gave an order to Gordon who was already sitting in the navigator position next to Annie, and then sighed with a headache.
After a breath he said:
"Annie..."
"Now is not the time to say that!"
"us……"
"etc!"
"what is that?!"
However, before Kelly finished speaking, she was horrified to see: in the distance, in a certain star field where the Orville was heading, there seemed to be many light points that had completed their quantum voyage and jumped to this island one after another.
In a certain orbit of the Er people's main star, Darakos?
"not good!"
"Lieutenant Colonel!"
"It's Quill's main fleet that's back!"
"Quantity eighty..."
"No!"
“The numbers are still rising!”
"The current number is one hundred!"
"one hundred twenty!"
"one hundred forty!
"
"The enemy has five minutes to enter the optimal attack range!"
The second officer, Petrus, who was loyal to his duty, did not hesitate and immediately reported the number of the Quail main fleet and the time of its upcoming arrival.
"Huh?"
(?ω?)
"Another enemy is coming?"
(???.???)????
"Very good!"
?('▽')??*?*.
Seeing the new enemies appearing in such large numbers, Annie, who felt that she could play a live-fire shooting game again, naturally cheered, and then prepared to take over Gordon's control.
"No!"
"Annie!"
"Too many, we can't fight any more!"
Unfortunately, Kelly rejected Annie's idea of ​​​​killing all her enemies in one fell swoop.
"??"
(???.???)????
"Why, my highest record in the commander simulation is to fight more than thirty Quill warships at the same time and win them all!"
o(*?^?*)o
Anne stared back with some dissatisfaction and told some of her achievements, saying that the Quail warships were much easier to fight than those Chiron robot warships, and they could play for a while before leaving.
"No! There are too many enemies, and this is not a simulation!"
"Gordon!"
"Set a course!"
"We will leave here immediately when John sends the signal to start executing the 'No. 21' order!"
Unfortunately, the first mate Kelly did not want to talk to Anne, nor did she want to take risks. She once again rejected some of Anne's unrealistic plans before giving orders to helmsman Gordon.
"??"
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
"Why is it Order 21 again? What is that messy order?"
(??ˇεˇ??)
Hearing the other party say a certain word again, Anne naturally asked again.
"..."
"I'll tell you when I get out of here."
Unfortunately, First Mate Kelly, who stood in front of the first mate's seat on the podium with a sullen face, still shook her head, not prepared to say too much at this critical moment.
"..."
(????)
When she heard that the other party not only refused to say anything but insisted on leaving, Anne of course frowned in dissatisfaction with her pretty little brows.
At the same time, she couldn't help but start to wonder, why didn't she just deceive the other party into following the delegation, Uncle Ed, and others to the planet to kill the Quail people?
In that case, it's probably her, the Head of State Anne, who has the final say here now.
She can do whatever she wants, and she can also drive the Orville. She can fly kites with more than a hundred Quail warships in this space area and perform a good performance of riding against thousands.
His specialty and so on.
