“Um…”

"well……"

"snort!"

In the circular area of ​​the Godcastle Space Station, in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the aisle outside the Council Arbitration Office, the four members of the Council of Four were looking at the city of the Third Guard District, which was almost invisible outside the window, which was already in chaos by the war.

Now, the Turui army, which had been fighting fiercely over there for nearly half a month, is evacuating orderly, and handing out the places they had spent a lot of manpower and material resources and died in battle before successfully capturing...

“…”

The blue-skinned MP Asari looked like Wubo on her face at this time. No one knew what she was thinking in her heart now... The successful negotiations with the rebels can actually be said to have been facilitated by the efforts of the Asari people. Of course, the other MPs did not object too much.

However, the other members of their congressmen did not want to object, but did not dare to object...

"well……"

The Sergeant Serrari, who had a small head and a pair of big eyes, blinked his huge eyes for a while, looked at the situation outside the window, and sighed again helplessly.

Obviously, they also don’t want to see the result in front of them...

Because the conditions proposed by the Klogan rebelled were too outrageous and harsh for them... The other party asked for a whole third guard district, but he even named them the Serrari and asked them to hand over all the detailed information of the "gene phages"?

This kind of thing made them feel extremely embarrassed by the Serari clan...

Back then, it was indeed the Serrari who handed over the "genetic body phage" biochemical weapon to the Turi people during the Klogan War, which almost led to the complete extinction of the Klogan people!

But now, after they hand over those things... Once the Klogans really develop the antidote to crack the "gene phage" and then let the Klogans restore that terrifying super reproductive ability, it is probably a new Klogan War in less than a few hundred years... There is no doubt about it!

However, even though they thought of the consequences in the future, even if they were not satisfied with the results of the negotiation, they had to do that... because they cannot afford the risk of losing the Godcastle Space Station now... Compared to that rebellion, the risk of losing the Godcastle is obviously a little more serious?

"My dear MPs, please listen to me!"

After struggling for a while, the Turi MP turned around and glanced at the Turi soldiers and war machinery in the distance who were evacuating from the Third Guard Area on landing craft, and then turned around and glanced at the other MPs around him.

Yesterday, the formal retreat order had been issued, and they had to complete the full retreat before tonight, and to put the third guard area, which had paid a huge price, to be regained, and then left to the damn mobs!

In the future, there will probably be no third-guard city in the Divine Castle Space Station, but will become the "Divine Castle Space Station Galaxy Free Alliance Autonomous Region". That group of thugs actually wanted to compete with the Council.

"Does we really have to do that? We really have to compromise with that group of rebel thugs?"

"The conditions proposed by the Klogan Grant are simply naked blackmail!!"

Whenever he thinks about the outrageous conditions proposed by the other party during the third negotiation yesterday, the Turi MP gritted his teeth! If possible, he even wanted the Turi army to kill all the thugs without leaving any one!

Because this riot at the Godcastle Space Station caused their Turui people's army and prestige to be extremely severely affected!

It can be said that their sudden face and inner thoughts were lost...

In addition to the Turi staff of the C-sec SWAT team and patrol team who lost most of their losses, they also killed thousands of soldiers in street battles in the guard zone and the "foundation" world at the same time, plus the Turi military port and nearly half of the deity guard fleet that were taken to by the opponent's damn "super Ivan" nuclear weapons!

According to incomplete statistics, in the Turui military port far away from the Shenbao Space Station, there were at least 100,000 Turui people and several dreadnoughts stationed, and countless other large and small ships! Until now, the accurate casualties in the military port have not been counted.

It can be seen from this that under such heavy losses, they not only got nothing, but were secretly laughed at by the tribes of the god castle... How could they not hate this?!

You know, their Turi people still have blood feuds with those Klogans. From the Klogan War to the present, both sides have been willing to kill each other and then hurry up! But now, the Klogans who almost died have caused their Turi people to suffer such a huge loss. How could they give up?

"really……"

"We also know that this is not the best choice, but...Mr. Turi, do you have any better ideas now? If so, we will definitely consider it..."

He shook his head gently, not wanting to look at the city outside the window that would soon no longer belong to the saint castle. The Asari's MP turned his head with a dim expression and asked with a hint of anger at the Turui who was still angry and even had a very ferocious expression at one time.

This time, the Third Guard District was handed over to the thugs to build the so-called "free city". The Asaris were the ones who suffered the biggest losses!

You know, the first colonizer to the sacred castle was them Asaris!

Therefore, in the third guard district in the distance, the most common ones are their Asaris's industries... Over the past few hundred years, how many retired Asaris have successfully become super rich selling land in the galaxy's "capital"? She doesn't want to count it anymore... But now, they have to send it to the thugs for nothing... Just thinking about this matter, you can know how much abuse and pressure she, the member of the Asaris' Council, will have to bear in the future in the Asaris' ethnic group?

Therefore, now, this Asari not only does not feel any sympathy for the Turui people’s experience, but also has a vague complaint and hatred of the other party in his heart!

Because, the c-sec special police team and patrol team responsible for arresting and smuggling were all Turi people! She felt that it must be their Turi people who did not do anything themselves, allowing countless dangerous goods and weapons to smuggle and flow into the castle, which led to such bad consequences today!

They were all asking for help! The reason why this happened today was that they took it upon themselves and dragged them down.

"snort!"

Obviously, the Turis Councillor was just venting his emotions, and he had no better idea.

"Everyone!"

"I think you all know that the greedy Klogan man would never be satisfied like this! And our tolerance and compromise this time will only increase their endless greed... Who knows what outrageous requests they will make next time?"

"What should we do then?"

In fact, after the fusion weapon bombed Turui's military port a few days ago, the crazy General Turui and his member of the Council once suggested that the Council of God's Fort directly cut off the third guard area of ​​the Constitution, abandon that guard area city, and then let the Constitution Space Station fly away from this star field, and then gather troops to annihilate the thugs who dare to provoke the Constitution of God's Fort!

However, that proposal was quickly dismissed after discussion...

That's because it would be a huge project to cut and discard a whole huge Third Bath District...

In short, that kind of movement is absolutely slim, and it cannot be completed in three to five days! And once the thugs notice it, who knows what serious consequences will be?

so……

After discussion, the board had to give up the idea that seemed very attractive, and eventually had to give in and start to formally compromise with the thugs. Even if the other party's request was a bit outrageous, even if they were actually very reluctant, they had to do so.

"Please don't be confused by anger, MP Turui..."

"Of course we know what you said... We have actually discussed these things many times... But now we have to do that because we have to calm them down for the time being!"

"Otherwise that consequence..."

Otherwise, Councillor Serrari did not say anything explicitly, but just lowered his eyelids with his huge eyes, lowered his head and sighed.

The Klogan thug, the guy named Grant, had a terrible weapon of mass destruction on his hands. Once it was detonated at the Castle, it could directly threaten the lives and property safety of the Castle Space Station and the more than 13 million residents living in this space station!

Therefore, they will never have a better choice except to compromise.

The Klogan Grant, the other party does not need to have the power to defeat them, but only needs the courage to die together. They have to satisfy the vast majority of the other party's not too outrageous "blacklist"... Otherwise, if the other party is dissatisfied or feels a threat, and threatens or really wants to detonate that terrible fusion weapon, what should they do?

"alright!"

"We have already made a conclusion about this matter, so don't waste time arguing about it anymore! Let's think about what will happen in the future..."

"In fact, it's not bad to do this for the time being... In the future, we will either use gentle means to slowly influence them, bind their interests with the god castle, and make corresponding constraints and supervision on them; or find a suitable opportunity to completely eliminate their threat?"

After saying that, Councillor Asari shook his head with self-deprecatingness.

The idea is good, and it will definitely not be so easy to implement it... After all, no one is a fool. The Klogan will definitely take strict precautions against the three fusion bombs in a short period of time. Even if they really want to deal with those thugs, they must be patient and plan and arrange them slowly until new opportunities appear until they confirm the three damn fusion bombs and are confident of removing their detonating devices!

However, it will definitely be a long process and cannot be easily solved in a short period of time.

"Yes, Councillor Asari is right."

"We have no other better choice now, we have to temporarily abandon this third guard district... As for whether those thugs will make more excessive demands in the future, we can only discuss it later..."

Finally, he looked at the third guard area in the distance, which was abandoned by Turui soldiers. Senator Serarui sighed dimly, intending to end today's meaningless topic, and then leave here and simply make a blind eye.

No matter what, the matter in the Third Bath District has become a foregone conclusion!

Although the thugs finally lost and suffered heavy casualties under the encirclement of the Turui soldiers, they got everything they wanted! The Castle Council has now been forced to make big concessions in this matter, and no matter how they argue, it is meaningless, unless someone can take away the three large-equivalent fusion bombs left by the Klogan!

“…”

Anderson, who was on the side of the Human Star Alliance, kept silent because this matter did not have much interest in humans. Not to mention the entire area of ​​the city that could live in the harbor of millions of people, even if they were sent out, their Star Alliance would not matter.

After all, their Star Alliance is still too young compared to the God Castle Union... In the God Castle Space Station, which is equivalent to the "capital" of the Milky Way, most of the humans from the earth can basically not afford to buy land or real estate... So, if you give other people's things, Anderson will certainly not have much feelings.

"Feel sorry!"

"Dear members, please wait a moment, I still have some important situations here!"

Seeing that Senator Serrari and the Senator Asari were ready to turn around and leave, after a while of struggling, Anderson finally couldn't help it, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind to talk about a more important event at this time.

"This is actually the case!"

"Some time ago, didn't we restore Shepard's position as the "Ghost of Gods"? Now, she has made a major new discovery in the Realm Gods Galaxy! She has caught some collector monsters and successfully destroyed a collector's spacecraft. Now the crashed spacecraft is under the control of our Star Alliance!"

"I believe that soon she will find conclusive evidence of the connection between the collector and those harvesters!"

“We can…”

Anderson ignored the fact that Udina consultant who was constantly winking at him, but just said loudly with excitement. In fact, he himself did not expect that Shepard and the others would do so well. He immediately caught the tail of a group of collectors in the "horizon" colony of the Realm God Galaxy, and Chen successfully caught a living mouth and destroyed the other party's spaceship?

"You mean...soon?"

"Then, it is obvious that now it is just a barely confirmation of the existence of the so-called ‘collectors’, and there is still no sufficient evidence to show that they are related to the ‘reapers’ you made up?”

"I'm not surprised by this..."

Member Sierrari, who was about to leave, turned his head and stared at Anderson, the human MP who was excited. Then, for some reason, he stared at the other party with some curiosity and glanced at him for a moment, and finally shook his head regretfully.

"Okay, Councilman Anderson..."

"We have more important things to deal with now. There are enough things in the God Castle here. Please don't mention the matter about the Realm God Galaxy! Unless...you get enough ironclad evidence to convince us?"

"I'm sorry, we lost our companion first."

Councilor Asari said a few gentle words to Anderson politely, then turned around and whispered something with Councilor Serrari, and walked slowly to the distance, disappearing behind an automatic hatch.

Councillor Asari didn't want to pay too much attention to the matter of the collector... Because, hundreds of years ago, the castle had received a report submitted by the Turi people about unknown creatures attacking the colonies in the Realm God Galaxy... Now, those mysterious and dangerous races have come out to make trouble and attack humans again, and there seems to be nothing strange about it?

Besides, they have long warned humans about the World God Galaxy and Omega IV repeater that they have to go to such a chaotic and dangerous place to colonize. They will definitely not care about the place outside the law enforcement power of the god castle!

"Hmph! Please let go!"

Seeing the other two MPs leaving, the Turi people also turned their heads and looked at the two humans beside him coldly. He was in a bad mood and didn't even want to say polite words. He snorted coldly, squeezed away rudely and quickly left in the other direction.

This time, the Turui people fell into a big trouble in the sacred castle. He had to find a way to clear his responsibilities first. Otherwise, in a few days, he would have to roll the bed and go home and stay away from this beautiful place completely.

"this……"

"How can they, how can they do this?!"

Seeing the irresponsible and shirkable attitudes of the three board members, Anderson suddenly felt confused and stunned...

Now the threat of the Reapers to the Milky Way is becoming more and more serious, and those collectors who are closely connected with the Reapers have also begun to become active in the Realm God Galaxy. In addition, Saren, Overlord and Gets two years ago... Anderson seemed to see a huge conspiracy covering the entire Milky Way tribes. All the situations have shown that the Reapers are likely to come back, and no one will survive in the face of powerful enemies!

But now, those guys can ignore them?!

"Anderson!"

"Look at what you've done now?"

"I've told you a long time ago that this matter must not be raised in the near future, because the time is not right at all!"

After all the members of the board of directors were exposed, and only Anderson and Udina themselves were left here, Udina gritted his teeth, stepped forward and stared at Anderson's eyes, lowered his voice and said with a cold voice and vicious sarcasm.

He finally realized that this member of the Council, who was born as a military general, was a politically failed idiot at all!

He, Udina, naturally attaches great importance to the information Shepard investigated and obtained. Even Star Alliance is now beginning to discuss it specifically, but... this kind of good card should never be raised at this time, when the Castle was too busy to take care of itself and was still mixed up by the riot!

He had warned Anderson before...

But how could the other party really tell him at this inappropriate time? Look, this guy finally got the worst result as he wished! The other members of the Council didn't want to pay attention to that matter at all, and wasted the gains Shepard had when he tried hard to rescue the "horizon".

"But now the threat of the Reaper is imminent, and I have to do that!"

"Udina! Compared to the God Castle Space Station, isn't the safety of the entire Milky Way more important?!"

Anderson stared at his adviser in a angrily voice, roaring in a low voice. He just wanted to kindly remind the members of the parliamentarians, but who would have thought that they were still so stubborn?!

"Threat? Hoho!"

ridiculous……

"Anderson, let me tell you this: Now, even our Star Alliance is hesitating and unable to deduce the truth of the matter. Why do you think you can use plausible 'evidence' to convince the Castle Council at such an inappropriate time?"

The "horizon" incident and all the information, images, monster corpses, living bodies, spacecraft, and the testimony of the Star League officers and soldiers and residents after the colony were arrested by Shepard at the first time to submit it to the Star League's headquarters! However, the Star League is still under research and fierce argumentation. Those senior officials who are willing to believe that there must be a connection between the "reaper" and the collector are probably less than one-tenth, right?!

It is precisely because of this that he warned the political idiot in front of him early: At this time, unless the army of the Reapers appears directly in front of the castle, the members of the parliament would never believe that they really exist!

Even if this matter really has to be raised, it should be a better time, but no matter what, it should not be the worst time when the energy of the god castle has been completely involved by the rioters!

Udina didn't understand. Even if the Reaper really ran out to harvest the various advanced civilizations in the Milky Way, it was not the only way to harvest Star Alliance and humans. When the Asaris, Serari and Turi were not in a hurry, what's the use of Anderson to do it himself?

“…”

Anderson did not continue to speak, but stared at Udina, who was accused of being a MP, as a counselor. It is not unreasonable for him to hate such politicians, of course, including other members of the Councillor of the Castle!

"So, obviously!"

"Anderson, you messed up everything! Your words made Shepard's efforts was wasted!"

"Although you are a good commander, you are not a qualified member of the Council!!"

Udina continued to criticize without any mercy, regardless of Anderson's face had begun to turn red.

"I'm still the same thing as before: Although Shepard chose you as a member of parliament... But Anderson, you are not suitable for the castle at all, you are not a qualified politician! And you should return to your Star Alliance Navy as soon as possible to fight your war!"

"I think...it's time for you to consider finding a suitable opportunity to quit and give this position as a member of the Council to a more suitable me?"

"In the castle, your military's trick won't work!!"

After saying that, Udina stopped looking at a star-coal admiral's ugly face, her trembling fists, and her trembling fists. She shook her hand and turned around and left with hatred, leaving the other party alone in the huge aisle.

“…”

—————

After completing the "Horizon" rescue mission assigned by the Cerberus Phantoms, successfully crushing the collector's conspiracy, rescuing almost most of the colonial people and annihilated the invading enemies, Normandy II left the colonial planet after only two days of repairing, and began to return to prepare to deal with their harvest.

In addition to obtaining collector equipment that is similar to the technology of the Gers of that year, and speculating that the collector and the Gers, or the collector and the ‘reaper’, also gaining something more valuable:

In a material warehouse on Normandy No. 2, it is filled with frozen dormant compartments.

Inside, there were frozen and alive collectors that Shepard and the others had finally caught! They had ordinary blue corpse puppets, poisonous sac monsters, all-like collector soldiers, and the killer of the collector "pioneer" elite and the consul of the collector!

Except for those dangerous guys who accidentally self-destruct, they dare not store them, and there are no corpses to store as specimens for them, basically all the corpses of the collectors were kept by them one or two!

In short, they caught a lot of collectors and frozen them and filled the entire cabin! Even they caught a guy who looked like the big leader of the collector!

“…”

"Commander Shepard, the leader of this collector in it is not simple... Its superpowers are unparalleled and the danger level is very high! I suggest... you better 'handle' it now?"

Dr. Modin Solles approached a large modified ice dormant compartment, and looked at the collector monster who was trapped in the transparent glass, which was frozen in the frozen water and related facilities under the pressure of liquid nitrogen. Then, he thought for a while, finally shook his head and suggested to Commander Shepard who was following him.

Because, the superpowers of this monster are really too powerful...

When his detection equipment approached the other party, it was directly at an outrageous full value, and it was completely impossible to estimate the other party's true ability level? Judging from the "Consul" who emits eyebrow lasers they encountered before, the big leader of the collector will definitely not be much worse.

Once this kind of existence is out of trouble, it will be a disaster!

"You mean...want to let me kill it right away?!"

After a moment of silence, Shepard came to his senses for a while and probably understood the other party's meaning of "handling"... It seemed that Dr. Moding wanted to kill the collector leader who they finally captured alive?

"No, absolutely not!"

"It was something we had to catch after a lot of hardships. If it weren't for the spaceship being seriously injured when it crashed, maybe we would have to kill it!"

The strange thing in front of her was the evidence of living that she had finally collected. Whether it was to submit the sacred castle or to Cerberus to study and interrogate information, it was very valuable. Where could she kill it casually?

It is alive, but it is definitely more valuable than the dead!

Now, the colonial residents and soldiers of the Star Alliance Navy who were caught and captured by the collectors were rescued from the crashed collector spacecraft. The battle to take advantage of the fire was not too difficult.

Although the casualties counted by the people of the colony afterwards were not small, there was no doubt that they did win! They successfully crushed the collector's conspiracy. Both of them and the subsequent Star Alliance Navy captured many of the collectors' living bodies and directly obtained a fairly complete collector spacecraft! And now, this guy who seemed to be the collector general was their biggest gain, the spoils they had finally secretly intercepted from the hands of the Star Alliance Navy.

"So that's what it is..."

"But, Mr. Shepard, what do you want me to do? Should you dissect it...or study something about it?"

Since Commander Shepard was unwilling to kill this powerful monster easily, Dr. Modin himself had no good idea, so he could only look at the heroine of the Milky Way with inquiring eyes.

When almost most people were unwilling to believe that the existence of collectors and harvesters, it was this human woman who was dying for her life, crushing the enemy's conspiracy one by one, and even really died for it... So, Dr. Modin felt that this was a truly noble human being, and worthy of his all ability to serve the other party.

"None are!"

"I need you to ensure safety, so that I can have normal conversations with it! Are you sure that you can do it?"

Shepard doesn't care about dissection or research. She just wants to learn from the other person what she wants to know, that's all!

But……

The collector leader cannot be released easily. If he releases it casually, with the other party's superpowers, something big will definitely happen! The brainless corpse puppets and collector soldiers who are not afraid of something seem to have insufficient communication skills, which makes her worry about this matter.

From the fact that the dead collector "Consul" could speak, she knew that the collector leader must have what she needed in his mind!

"You want to communicate with it...?"

"Well... it's not impossible... I think I should be able to stab the probe into this guy's brain while frozen, and then partially activate and amplify its brain waves...and if their biological composition is the same as most creatures in the Milky Way, then I should be able to do what you want to do, Commander!"

Technical matters, especially regarding biological matters, Modin is a very authoritative Serrari! Otherwise, Cerberus's Phantom Man would not recommend him to Shepard.

"But, what's the point?"

"Mr. Commander, please be honest: You should know that in a short period of time, we may not be able to communicate with this creature that we have never seen before... Translating the language of a new race is a huge project, and it will take several months to do so, just as we do with Normandy II."

Constrained communication with a monster who is unable to move is a trivial thing for Dr. Modin, who is proficient in biology, to communicate with unknown species, but it is not an easy task. It requires comparison and translation of a large number of strange words, and it requires cooperation from the other party.

Otherwise, language blockage will become an obstacle to communication!

"No! We don't need to perform any translation! Itty's database should allow us to communicate with each other normally!"

Shepard said firmly, her tone was very sure and she was very sure.

“No translation…?”

"Sadly, Commander, I don't think any of us can communicate with it, even AI edi shouldn't be able to do it! Because, they should be a completely new species, and I've never seen a creature like this."

Modin looked at the prisoners who were frozen in the survival pod and in the glass cover again, and then looked at the other soldiers who were similar to the other party. Then he came to his own conclusion: Obviously, this is definitely a brand new species. In addition to those corpse puppets, the others should be of the same race, which can be guessed from their triangular heads and two pairs of eyes.

"Because, they are the 'Plue Immortals' that were harvested by the Reapers 50,000 years ago! They were the Reapers who turned them into this and then wanted to use them to harvest us?!"

"I think our Normandy Yiti can definitely translate it for us!"

Shepard can now almost confirm that these collectors are the "Prosol" harvested by the reapers in the last cycle! This can be inferred from the beacons she had seen before, as well as the relics, language, text, etc. that have been preserved to the present.

And what she heard on the battlefield before was that the monster who was killed by Little Annie, the other party spoken by the monster spoken by Yiti, was confirmed to be the language used by the ‘Plusian’ people!

And this seems to vaguely illustrate the relationship between the collector, the Prosol and the Reaper.

This is just as she said... Fifty thousand years ago, the Prosaurus, who almost dominated the entire Milky Way, were defeated and harvested and transformed by the Reapers. Fifty thousand years later, these transformed monsters began to become active. If you guess boldly, it is very likely that the collector is the Reapers' forward?!

"Pluoxian... I remembered it, so it was like this?"

"This is really a shocking intelligence... Well, Commander Shepard, you can send someone to move it to my lab, and at the latest, you can communicate with it without barriers tomorrow!"

"Of course, it's only linguistic."

With a little surprised, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the collector inside for a while, then walked aside and looked at the other ordinary collector soldiers who looked very similar to each other but were different from the transformed leader of the collector. After watching for a while, Modin nodded with satisfaction.

That's right, although there are many signs of transformation, these collectors, especially the soldiers who have been transformed, are very similar to the characters in the Prosolian relics data that Tamodin has seen... the big head of the triangle and two pairs of eyes... This feature is really easy to identify.

"In addition to the guy you need, you need these, and these..."

"Move all the bodies of these collectors to my laboratory!"

"Tonight, as long as I dissect and study their specific structures first, I can do what the Commander asked for."

Reaper, Collector and Prosol...

Modin felt that a century of great discovery was about to be revealed by him! Maybe they can really become the saviors of the entire Milky Way?

"Very good! I'll make arrangements now!"

When she heard Modin was sure, Shepard finally let go of her hanging heart. She believed that as long as she could have a normal conversation with the leader who seemed to have high wisdom and even speak Prosol's immortal words, she would definitely get a lot of valuable information!

"ah!!"

"Keden...is it you? Shouldn't you be stationed in the colony of the 'horizon'? Why did you run up to my Normandy II?"

As soon as he left the door, Shepard, who met an acquaintance, couldn't help but exclaim.

She clearly remembered that when they were defeating the collector and repairing the "horizon" for two days, Kaden Alanko, who was rescued from the collector spacecraft, should have returned to the Star Alliance Navy to report... Why is it now appearing on her spacecraft?

When did this guy get on her boat, and who approved it?

"Report!"

"Commander Shepard, since you are dealing with collectors and those harvesters, then I, Kaden, will join me!"

After saluting Shepard seriously, Kaden Alanko, who was still wearing Star Alliance uniform, stood at attention in a proper manner and reported loudly to his former chief Shepard.

"But……"

"Are you sure? I am not a lieutenant colonel of Star Alliance now, nor the ghost of the castle. I am working for Cerberus now..."

After hesitating for a moment, Shepard told the other party truthfully. She had to make it clear about this matter, and she did not want any conflicts in the future coexistence because of this matter.

"I don't recognize Cerberus, and no matter whether you are a lieutenant colonel or a ghost, I only know you, Chief Shepard!"

"Please let me return to the team, Commander Shepard!!"

Kaden Alanco still stood attentively and said with a serious expression. Obviously, he, who is already on the spaceship, must have made some decision.

"All right……"

"Now, I agree to your enrollment request! But I can't give you any military ranks and positions, and even salary is hard to guarantee... Can you accept this, Kaden Alanko?"

Shepard is very clear about Kaden Alanko's ability. Shepard is not only outstanding in combat skills and skillful in technology, but also her former subordinate. She is a well-known person and can also be confident in handing over her back to the other party on the battlefield. Therefore, for Shepard, who is urgently needed to be a capable subordinate, the other party's joining is the best.

"No problem, Commander!"

"As long as it is your order, even if we are allowed to join the Cerberus terrorists, I will accept it happily!"

As long as he can fight under his command of Chief Shepard and work together to protect their humans and protect this galaxy, he Kaiden will not have any complaints!

Furthermore, he has been fed up with the work of defending the planet under the Star League over the years. He has long been fed up with the days he had in the past, the passionate fighting life of traveling around the Galaxy, constantly fighting against Saren, and against Jies.

Although they are rarely seen now, they seem to have retracted, and Saren's conspiracy has been completely shattered... However, the more powerful collectors and the harvesters behind the collectors emerged again. He must follow his commander, whether for the sake of the Chief Shepard he admires or for their own human homeland, he must fight and fight!

Even if it fails, it is better than waiting to die on a broken planet!

"Hello!"

"What's wrong with you, the lackey of the Star Alliance Navy, we, Cerberus? Are we as unbearable as you think?!"

Just as Miranda heard the new arrival, she was immediately angry when she heard that Cerberus was a terrorist. She walked over quickly like an angry lioness, pressed the other person's chest with one hand and pushed it hard, staring at the guy who seemed to be named Kaden Alanko as if he was provocative.

She still remembers that when Normandy II was about to take off the "Horizon" colony, Miranda approved the other party to board the ship. But she didn't know that the other party was actually a star league's lackey and dared to say bad things about them Cerberus?!

“…”

Kaden didn't fight back, but just looked at the angry woman awkwardly.

In fact, he did not have much prejudice against Cerberus... On the contrary, when he was in charge of the garrison mission at the "Hova", the colonial residents of Cerberus had prejudice against him, Kaden and other Star Alliance soldiers, but those residents were hostile to their Star Alliance Navy!

Otherwise, Lilith in the colony would have been taken down by him long ago.

"Okay, Miranda, what are you going to do?"

Shepard asked curiously after holding on to this partner who was more compatible with him and had a relatively tacit understanding on the battlefield.

Because, she could see that the other party's face seemed a little wrong?

"Oh! I'm looking for that little guy Annie, do you know where she is now?"

Seeing that Kaden didn't dare to object to him, Miranda could only spare Shepard for the time being.

"this……"

"I just saw her eating in the restaurant?"

After a little recollection, Shepard quickly remembered where that little guy was.

"Thank you! I'll go and clean up that little bastard!"

Thanking Shepard, Miranda turned her head and left.

“…”

"Miranda! What happened?"

Seeing that Miranda's clarity was a little wrong and he was walking quickly towards the elevator, Shepard was puzzled and asked in confusion.

"I asked that little guy to give me some of the local specialties given to us by the Horizon colony and gave her the right to pick up the goods, but now, I have been waiting for a long time and I haven't even seen her shadow!"

"Maybe your share is gone, I heard the quarconian say that she seemed to abuse her power to take away all the shares, all!!"

When Miranda remembered this, she was still a little angry! The little guy who ate alone did this time, he should have left some good things for them, right?

But that little bastard, he took all the permissions she gave him in one go! Still, she said it was her order from Miranda? She dared to swear that she never let that guy do that!

“…”

Well, Shepard originally thought he could continue to eat the delicious local specialties produced by the "horizon" at night, but now, there is probably no hope... Because, the colony attacked by the collectors did not produce too much, and humans only tried to settle on that planet for a few years, so he gave them a little thanks.

"Forget it, Miranda?"

Shepard felt that little Anne had made great efforts in the battle of the "Hova" colony. The little guy who made great contributions would be fine, and it would be okay to give some extra benefits.

"Hmph, don't worry! I must teach that dishonest guy a lesson!"

“…”

"Let's go, Kaden, go find a few people with me to help Dr. Mordin carry something."

Shaking her head funnyly, Shepard waved her hand and asked the newly-entered Kaden to follow her. She wanted to find a few people to help Dr. Moding, and then, she also had to find a few marines to stand guard around Dr. Moding's laboratory just in case!

As for the little Annie's affairs, let Miranda and the other party make trouble...

"yes!!"

—————

The Normandy II spacecraft is not too big, and it is not too difficult to find someone... So, when Shepard was busy with work, Miranda successfully caught a hateful little guy at a table in the restaurant!

‘Teebos…’

'Why is this big sister Miranda waiting for me so angrily? It seems that she hasn't done anything bad recently, right?'

Anne secretly communicated with her little bear in private.

At this moment, in front of her, after Miranda found herself, she sat angrily across the table and stared at her nose and stared at her with her arms in her arms. She must have been not pressing any kindness!

￣●)

"Little guy, aren't you going to say something?"

After confronting the other party for a while, looking at the innocent and cute eyes of a little bastard, Miranda finally couldn't help but speak first.

"say what?"

"Oh... Sister Miranda, have you had lunch? If you don't eat it, it would be too late, because it's already past the restaurant's meal time. If you want to eat something else, you have to pay for it yourself?"

After thinking for a while, Annie, who felt that she had really done nothing bad, bit her fingers and licked some nostalgic smell on it, then blinked her eyes and said tentatively.

“…”

"It's wrong for a lying child! Little Anne, you shouldn't pretend to be me and Shepard to cheat things!"

This is why Miranda is trying to keep this matter away. She doesn't want this little guy to learn wrongly, and she shouldn't cheat!

“Huh?”

"I'm not cheating on things randomly! If you asked me to get the things, I just said that I wanted to help you get those portions together at the same time, and then the little aunt from the warehouse gave it to me..."

o

Anne said this blatantly at that time and had permission, so she was cheated?

"Oh? Help? Well, what about those things I asked you to take?!"

Miranda, who knew that the other party would definitely make a quibble, asked with a squinted eye.

Although she didn't care too much about those things, some bad habits could not be learned by this naughty little bastard!

"Of course I ate it!"

"Then what else do you have to say?"

"I asked you to go to that thing, but you took it all and ate it all?!"

Miranda slapped the table in anger and said viciously.

Miranda cannot tolerate crimes such as abuse of the authority given by herself, deceive her superiors and subordinates, abuse of materials, stealing food and eating alone!

"I only agreed that I can help you get it out, but I didn't say I won't help you eat it together!"

Thinking about the delicious food I had just eaten up in one breath, although I was already full, Annie still couldn't help but wipe the saliva that flowed out of the corner of her mouth inadvertently.

Those things are delicious, but they are a little less...
