[choke] (*⊙~⊙)! !
"Big Sister Shepard, you are really too much! It's obvious that you can't catch them because you are useless, but you want to shoot them to vent your anger?"
(￣～￣) Chew!
Little Annie, who was sitting on the sofa while eating and watching cartoons, glanced dissatisfiedly at the big sister Shepard who was standing in the middle of the captain's cabin with her gun drawn. The other party now loaded the pistol with a dark face , seems to be planning to play for real?
Look, he was so angry that he even took out his gun?
She didn't want to care if the other party wanted to shoot frogs or something, but if she shot randomly here, it would affect her watching TV, which would be very bad!
Snapped! !
A crisp gunshot echoed...
In Shepard's captain's room, the commander of the Normandy II, who was already in a bad mood, was using the pistol he had just pulled out from his waist, and shot one of them with precision. The frog that was exactly the same as the one that escaped from her palm just now was smashed into a hey brown fragment, and by the way, the bullet made a small sunken crater on the deck of her captain's cabin.
"..."
After successfully killing one with a shot, she still did not give up, she was still squinting her eyes and holding a gun on vigilance, ready to attack those who crawled out from under her bed, the instrument table, under the wardrobe, the gap in the sofa, etc. , Those damned frogs!
This matter actually starts with a can of snacks...
Just now, while she was waiting for Miranda to investigate some information about Cerberus, out of boredom, she begged for a large glass jar of snacks from Little Anne, which was full of lifelike chocolate frogs!
It is said that they still seem to come from a parallel plane of the earth, and they are also handmade food by a mysterious professional called Diagon Alley in London at the end of the 20th century?
Originally, when seeing the motionless, lifelike, and different chocolate frogs in the jars, Shepard didn't think too much about the exquisite carvings of those pastry chefs. He just opened the mouth of the jars and freely Gently took one out.
And then...
When Shepard was about to admire,
She once thought that the motionless chocolate frog in her hand suddenly moved and yelled—'quack'! ?
The weird situation made her throw it away in a panic, and accidentally smashed the whole glass jar!
then……
Those chocolate frogs that were originally motionless in a jar full of them suddenly became active in an instant, jumping around, and ran all over her entire captain's cabin?
That weird situation really scared her a lot!
Seriously, she, Shepard, would rather face a group of hideous and terrifying Reaper monsters than think about the damn frog chocolate that crawled all over her body and face! That nasty little brat must have wanted to see her jokes, and even gave her that kind of thing without explaining it in advance?
Although, she and Liara were in a hurry to catch them back... But, even though she herself is an elite star alliance 'N7' fighter, she wanted to catch them when her profession was not the right one. It is also very difficult to live in a group of chocolate frogs with extremely sensitive legs and feet, who can jump high and are no different from living frogs!
Therefore, the two of them have been busy for a long time, but they still couldn't catch it. She was in a bad mood, and in a panic, she brazenly took out the M-3 predator on her waist and started her indoor target shooting. Activity.
Since you can't do it empty-handed, just use your gun directly!
Anyway, Shepard's own marksmanship is very good, she can definitely be regarded as a sharpshooter, let alone a frog, even if it is a fly, she can shoot it accurately!
"..."
"Shepard, you don't need to be too anxious, catch them slowly, you can always finish catching them..."
"You can try it, they are really delicious!"
At this time, Liara was sitting on the sofa curiously, holding a dark brown chocolate frog caught in the crack of the sofa in her hand. She studied it for a while, but found that her universal tool could not scan it. No question, but just knowing that there was a weak energy reaction, he bit off the frog's head in one bite, then nodded with some surprise, and began to taste it carefully.
If you ignore that the other party looks like some kind of living creature, and then ignore the other party's behavior of struggling before death, even if the other party's head is bitten off, but the front and rear limbs are still struggling in her hands, she feels that this thing It's still quite interesting... Of course, it's also delicious. It seems that the ingredients are quite good, and the taste is also the one she likes, Liara.
Now, after confirming that their Asari's home planet, Sessia Planet, and the entire Athena Nebula were rescued with the help of the Protoss Fleet, Liara is finally in the mood to enjoy the game in her hand. Delicious food, and comforted the companion who was angry because of being robbed by Cerberus, and planned to take a pile of moving food to vent his anger.
"I won't be able to sleep at night if I don't solve them all!!"
Shepard was still squinting, wary of some little tawny or dark-brown thing that might jump out of any corner.
Just now, there seemed to be a total of ninety-nine devices that escaped from the jar? Except for the one that I killed just now and the one that was eaten by Liara, there should be ninety-seven left...
And there are so many small things, if you don't get rid of them quickly, who knows if they will suddenly jump out to scare yourself when you take a bath, change clothes, go to the toilet or sleep?
Plus, they can bark!
She is also a little worried, in case they accidentally sneak out through the ventilation duct of her captain's cabin, the garbage bucket, or when the door is open... Thinking of the night, or any time, her own The baby spaceship was full of that frog's 'croaking' sound, and she couldn't help feeling dizzy and short-tempered!
"Leave me alone!"
"Don't worry, my marksmanship is very accurate, I promise I won't hurt you by mistake."
She has already switched the bullets of her pistol to low-power training bullets, so that the penetration of the mass effect bullets has been reduced to the minimum, and she definitely doesn't have to worry about ricochets or accidentally injuring her companions.
Besides, the universal tools in their hands all provide the most basic kinetic energy protection, and the bullets with small power will definitely not be able to do anything to the simple shield, so don't worry at all!
"Liara..."
"Since you have time to eat there, why don't you come and help me catch them first?"
After being vigilant for a while, and finding that those little things hadn't crawled out again, Shepard squatted down carefully and checked the situation under the bed carefully, while he was still lying on the sofa eating that nasty thing. Liara of Chocolate Frog calls for help.
This is really strange...
Shepard found that when she turned on the pistol's tactical flashlight, she didn't notice those nasty little things under the bed? She clearly saw several jumping in just now, where did she go now?
"Well……"
Σ(|||⊙~⊙)
"Big Sister Shepard, after they jump out by themselves, you can catch them and eat them when you see them?"
"They'll pop out sooner or later anyway!"
*(??*ˊ??ˋ)??*??
Little Annie was comfortably curled up on the sofa watching cartoons on the holographic TV and eating a box of jelly beans. It took her a long time to persuade the big sister Shepard who was still indomitable.
Of course she knew that those cunning chocolate frogs were hiding under the other party's bed and clinging to the hidden bed board, so the other party didn't find anything when they lay down on the deck just now? However, even though she knew that was the case, Annie just didn't tell that angry guy, and let him be anxious for a while.
Anyway, she didn't accidentally break the glass jar just now, so she wouldn't help it!
"Do you think I'll eat them again after they crawl around on the ground or stay for a few days?!"
Using the tactical flashlight of the pistol to look around under the bed, and finding that there was nothing unusual, Shepard walked over and lay down under the big sofa where Anne, Miranda and Liara were sitting.
However……
Before she had time to fire at some of the guys inside with the pistol with reduced power, they slyly scattered after the beam of light shone down, and a dozen of them rushed out, jumping everywhere. yes.
Snapped! !
With another shot, Shepard successfully knocked one of the hapless guys into a black-brown scum! However, it's a pity that when she quickly turned the gun, the others disappeared after a few jumps?
Enemies currently alive on the battlefield: ninety-six!
"Actually, if you wash them, they can still be eaten!"
(?????????)
If you don't mind where they crawled, or stayed outside the sealed glass jar for a long time, maybe this Big Sister Shepard can really catch one to eat whenever she finds it?
"snort!"
Shepard snorted fiercely, ignored the little guy's crazy words, and continued to search carefully in her captain's cabin.
Including Liara, it's fine if the two little devils don't help, but they actually teased her as the captain and commander in the sea? Besides, how could she eat something like that that crawled on the ground? Although her room has been cleaned by the housekeeping robot, and the floor is almost spotless, she doesn't think her floor can be as clean as a dinner plate!
Snapped! !
Enemies currently alive on the battlefield: ninety-six!
"Ha! You still want to run?!"
Another chocolate frog that was forced out of the closet by Shepard was smashed into a pool of yellow-brown fragments by her shot... But that kind of chocolate frog is too real, even if the other party is shot by her The bullet was broken into several pieces, but the frog's hind legs were still twitching slightly, as if protesting Shepard's atrocities?
"..."
Seeing this situation, Shepard couldn't help the chills in his heart!
She really couldn't imagine what kind of idler, or a guy with a brain flooded and sick, would spend all his time making this kind of weird frog food that can move, run, and avoid searching ? Those guys, can you use your energy on serious things? !
"Annie, why are they still moving and running with this kind of food?"
"Although I detected energy fluctuations and some circuits in its body just now, but... I didn't find their kinetic energy core or engine or anything like that. Except for those weak energies, they seem to be all Made of chocolate... I have no idea how it works!"
The frog in Asari's big lolilia's hand has been eaten by her, leaving only two immobile chocolate frog legs. It is obviously 'dead'!
but,
She just studied for a while while eating, and found that this kind of strange moving food, except for those human food chocolate ingredients and sugar, does not seem to have much...they are processed in a very primitive way, It is just the cocoa powder, sugar, wheat flour, milk powder and a small amount of vegetable fat powder mixed together and coagulated. It is not the molecular level fine processing of the current interstellar era at all!
Therefore, she couldn't understand: How do these things move without an engine, a battery, a transmission, or an intelligent core? What puzzled her even more was that they seemed to be very intelligent, almost the same as the real frogs. They would avoid enemies, have basic conditioned reflexes, and even be caught by her and ready to bite. When is it time to make a 'quack' cry?
Just now, if she hadn't been sure that the other party was really just a kind of food, definitely not a living thing, and she was eating it for the purpose of research, she might not have been able to eat it.
"Because they are a bunch of life!"
(??????)
"Hey! They are actually made of magic, and they are endowed with life by that kind of profound transformation spell, and they also have a lot of magic power in their bodies... Anyway, eating them is very useful for restoring physical strength, especially You guys who use powers."
(????????`)
As far as Anne knows, in that world with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, their kind of magic is a bit crooked, and they are all researching in those directions... But I have to say, there are some things , still useful and fun.
A moving frog is just one of them. As for those Philosopher's Stones and Lucky Potions, she didn't collect those troublesome things because they were inedible and not fun.
"Hmph! You two guys, can you come and help me?"
"Now I don't want to know how they work, and I don't want to know how good they are! I just want to know: when will they come out, or when will they stop jumping without energy?!"
Shepard, who searched for a long time, managed to kill the three frogs. He was very dissatisfied with his room, or in the near future, the entire Normandy II, which was crawling with those damned little things!
With a little obsessive-compulsive disorder, she just wants to find them all quickly, and then smash or smash them one by one, leaving none behind! !
"it's useless……"
"Theoretically, they can be active for a hundred years! Especially in your world, there are zero elements. Although they are not magic, maybe they can be absorbed as energy?"
o(*^▽^*)┛
Things like the Transfiguration Curse come to life after being cast with magic power! Although it is not a life in the strict sense, for them, as long as they are not smashed, eaten or killed, they can continue to exist, and it is said that there are many, many in that Hogwarts school. A chocolate frog accidentally let out by the students?
So, the idea that Big Sister Shepard wants to expect them to turn back into a lump of chocolate after they lose their magic power is definitely not possible.
Although, Annie herself can use spells to catch them all back now... But she doesn't know why, but now she always feels that this kind of thing seems very interesting...
So, she didn't intend to do that.
(??????????)
Anyway, that big sister Shepard asked for it herself. Who made her be careless just now, and was scared like that by a moving frog, which caused the entire glass jar to shatter?
That's what it deserves!
"Magic can also create life?!"
"That's really an amazing thing! Shepard, please don't hurt them again, I have to catch a few and study them properly!"
After thinking about it more and more, Liara also stood up, ready to join Shepard's action, and catch a few of those moving frogs in order to save them for Dr. Modine and Do your own research and analysis.
Perhaps, they can discover something remarkable?
"Liara, that's not a good idea!"
"These guys are very cunning, let's kill them quickly! Maybe, we should all run out, and then throw a singularity directly in the room?"
Suddenly, Shepard thought of a not-so-bad idea!
But after thinking about it, she gave up on her own initiative... Because, many of the equipment in this captain's room are important, if you throw a supernatural point here, it will directly destroy this place!
"Ha! Look! I managed to catch one!"
Almost all Asari are very good at manipulating objects with supernatural powers, so after Liara found one, she directly pulled it with a supernatural power, and let the little thing that wanted to escape float into the air, and it didn't matter. Helping to pull his legs and feet, he slowly floated towards her palm.
"Liara! It's just a waste of your ability, it's better to kill this nasty little thing with one shot!"
Snapped! !
Another frog hiding in the bathroom gets shot by Shepard!
That thing actually ran into her toilet and swam? This is really unreasonable! Let's see, how could she still eat something like this after staying in her room for a few days? It only takes a day or two, and I'm afraid no one knows where they will stay!
"correct!"
"Annie, is magic really that magical? Is it the same as the red demon you disappeared yesterday?"
After Liara caught one, she stopped busying with Shepard, and went back to the sofa to carefully study that interesting little thing on her palm.
She always thought that abilities were almost the same as magic, but now it seems that the gap may be very big?
"It's not changed!"
"And that guy is so bad, he still wants to trick me into letting him go? So, as soon as I got angry, I arrested him and imprisoned him in my demiplane!"
??(????????)??
That demon named Big Pineapple, that bad guy named King of Fear, really thought that Lady Queen Anne was so easy to fool, pretending to be pitiful and wanting to let it go?
Hmph, don't even think about it!
Not to mention pretending to be pitiful, even if it is really pitiful, Annie will never let that bad guy go!
Therefore, when she was on the Spear of Adun of the protoss, Annie simply grabbed the opponent and sealed the opponent's power, and then threw it directly to the lonely second in the demiplane. Heizi has been trained! Anyway, that monster has a whip in its hand, and the villain named Big Pineapple is thrown in the demiplane, so that Er Heizi, who has been idle for a long time, can whip it hard with a whip?
It only needs to be played for ten or eight years, and that big pineapple will definitely be honest!
"..."
"However, I don't think that murloc seems to be a good person, but why did you let it go?"
Liara, who is very sensitive to energy, could feel that whether it was the murloc or the one named Diablo, they gave her a bad feeling, and they all had that chaotic atmosphere? Therefore, she was a little puzzled by the different treatment of the little girl Anne.
"Huh?"
"It's very simple, because that murloc is a subordinate of one of my flame alliance! As long as it is not too bad, then I will definitely help it!"
ヾ(??°??°??)??????
One is a deep-sea murloc who can be sure to be his own, while the other is a villain who wants to fool him and a strange, never-before-seen demon! Not only did the other party have nothing to do with her, let alone know him, but she was also hunted down by Kaxia and the others, and she looked so hot and ugly... So, Annie must be able to tell the difference between closeness and estrangement. How could she not be able to tell who to help and who to attack?
Besides, it is really the best choice to catch the other party and throw them into the demiplane to play with Er Heizi, so as to save him from escaping from the hands of the protoss in the future, or sneaking out again after resurrecting to continue making trouble some type of.
"alright!"
"Enough is enough, you all! Commander Shepard, I just received some important news here! Are you going to check it out immediately, or continue to catch your frogs?!"
At this time, Miranda, who had been manipulating something on a certain instrument terminal, finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke, and very angrily stopped Officer Shepard who was still planning to shoot randomly in the warehouse.
These nasty guys, after throwing the task to themselves, they ran away to play together?
Take a look, it’s a frog, a jelly bean, and even played a frog’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds? Feelings Now, she, Miranda, is busy working alone, and those guys are all idlers? !
"What?"
"Miranda, have you really found out why Cerberus and the others wanted to rob Prothean VI?!"
Hearing the good news, Shepard couldn't care less about continuing to toss with those damned magic frogs, and quickly turned around to get in front of the instrument that Miranda was manipulating, wanting to have a look and see if it was true. Is there enough exciting good news?
Yesterday, she had already reported it to Admiral Anderson. Now that the "Sky Furnace" has been perfected day by day, I believe it will not be too long before it is fully completed! Now, they only need the Asari, Turians and other races to provide it with a large amount of zero element and other precious materials, and then they can almost carry out their grand plan to lure and destroy the reaper!
However, they still don't quite know how to use the Citadel of God and the 'Sky Furnace' together. This is a big problem.
Although if you take your time slowly, the engineers of the Star Alliance and the Federation of Heroes can always find the right way! But, what they lack now is time... Even though they have smashed the invasion of the Reapers many times, wiped out many of their fleets and successfully rescued several races, the current situation is definitely not optimistic ...
Because the base of the reapers is too large, even if they have lost a lot, the remaining ones can still make them feel deeply powerless! Even if the United Fleet of the Federation of Heroes, the reaper battleships destroyed by humans, zerg and protoss combined, probably have as many as 20,000 to 30,000 ships, but there are still more of those terrible monsters!
Therefore, they still need more Prothean information, in order to find the correct way to use the Sky Furnace in the shortest possible time!
However, according to what the Asari councilor said, it seems that the Prothean VI kept by the Athemi Temple on the planet Sesia seems to store things related to the "Sky Furnace" and precautions for its use?
But here comes the problem: now that thing has been successfully deceived by Cerberus, in the chaotic situation of the galaxy in front of her, she has no idea where the other party took it?
Therefore, Shepard is now very sensitive to all information about Cerberus, and can only rely on Miranda, who was once the spokesperson and second in command of Cerberus, and hopes that the other party can figure out who is in this kind of resistance earlier. What is the idea of the "terrorist organization" that jumped out to make trouble at the critical moment of the reaper, and what ulterior purpose does it have?
"Huh?"
"Is there really anything fun to do?!"
(￣～￣) Chew!
Thinking it was something fun, little Annie also jumped up on the soft sofa while chewing on the jelly beans in her mouth, cheered and jumped onto Miranda's back, leaning on the other's shoulder towards the Looked at the content on the instrument.
However, what disappointed her was: apart from a lot of data and boring text, there seemed to be no interesting content on it, and it was not the fun thing she imagined at all!
"Don't think about it, I'm still confused now!"
Why Cerberus stole the Prothean VI before them, Miranda probably already guessed something, but she didn't quite know where the other party was now.
"Annie!!"
After angrily pushing the little guy's fleshy round face away from his shoulders with the palm of his hand, Miranda continued to explain:
"But Shepherd, I found this now! One of my subordinates who works in Cerberus's logistics, although he doesn't know the specific plan of Cerberus and more content, but he can still secretly send it back to me. This list of materials! Although it is inconspicuous, the information contained in it is very interesting!"
"Look at it!"
After finishing speaking, Miranda did not say directly, but put down the instrument terminal in his hand, and after operating the multi-tool in his left hand for a while, he easily retrieved and enlarged a long list of holographic supplies, There are all kinds of materials written on it and the huge quantity.
After comparing a lot of data and meticulous correlation analysis, she believes: this is her biggest and most valuable discovery today! !
"..."
"Sorry, Miranda, I don't seem to see anything wrong with them..."
At a glance, Shepard knew that it was a normal purchase list... such as those special alloys, rare materials, various high-strength materials, and a large number of zero elements, etc.!
Obviously, now that Cerberus must be like the Star Alliance or other races of the Citadel, wantonly expanding its military strength and preparing military supplies in order to produce various warships and weapons and equipment, etc.!
And this list of materials seems to be needed for the production of related heavy equipment. When the entire galaxy is resisting the invasion of the Reapers, this kind of behavior of hoarding materials and crazy expansion of strength is nothing more than a normal thing, nothing surprising .
So, she didn't see anything wrong with this list, and she didn't know what Miranda was trying to sell?
If it was normal, if the Cerberus guys dared to make such a big move with unknown intentions, they would be sanctioned by the Star Alliance and the Citadel jointly, and they would try to recover and confiscate a large amount of sensitive materials! However, when everyone in the entire galaxy is in danger and is under the threat of the Reapers, no matter what their terrorist organization wants to do, no one will be interested in controlling them.
"etc!"
"This list is wrong, it seems that there is indeed a big problem!!"
At this time, Liara, who is still a top student and careful Asari after all, is more reliable!
She first frowned and looked at the list for a while, then stuffed the chocolate frog she was holding in her hand into her mouth and started chewing, and at the same time quickly used her multipurpose Tools, quickly operated on it and called up another list of similar supplies.
However, this list belongs to the Star Alliance. She gave it to the female patriarchs on the planet Sessia, asking them to cooperate with the Star Alliance and the Protoss race, and hand over the needed materials to the Protoss transport ship as soon as possible. Ship it to the solar system.
"Let's compare first..."
"Not good! Goddess Elsim is here... Shepard, look quickly! This material list of Cerberus... it, it is actually the same as the 'Sky Furnace' project built by our Star Federation." The similarity of the material list is as high as 95%?!"
"this……"
After operating for a while, the Asari big loli Liara suddenly exclaimed!
Now, she finally understood what Miranda meant by finding some useful news just now! If this matter is true, then it is indeed very serious and must be brought to everyone's attention, including the Star Alliance, all races of the Citadel Council, and the Federation of Heroes!
"You mean..."
Shepard stared at the two lists for a while, and seemed to realize something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Liara next to him in astonishment:
"Cerberus is also making another Kettler?!"
"Cerberus is also making another Kettler?!"
The two exclaimed almost in unison at the same time, telling what they had guessed!
Through those two lists of highly similar materials, it is not difficult for them to judge this shocking fact! That is: now Cerberus himself is collecting materials to make another 'Sky Furnace'! This matter can be seen from the two almost identical lists of supplies and materials, and the fact that the Prothean VI was snatched away before! What Cerberus is going to do now, or what he is already doing, is almost obvious at a glance.
The Phantom Man of Cerberus is probably still dreaming of controlling the Reapers and dominating the Milky Way! Moreover, the opponent's progress is likely to be no slower than the 'Sky Furnace' built in the solar system jointly by their Star Alliance and the Federation of Heroes!
Cerberus knew of the existence of the Prothean blueprint one step earlier than them. Who knows when they started building the land, and how far they have completed it now?
"Hmm... this really isn't fun at all!!"
(??????ε??????)
After finding out that the interesting thing she had imagined was different, Annie finally left Miranda's back, lay down on the sofa again, next to Miranda's body, and ate her own snack.
These guys, fighting all day long, either Cerberus or the Reapers, or to rescue other crooked stars, this is really not fun at all!
What are you doing with that furnace? If Anne had made up her own mind, she would have led all the fleets and swarmed towards the Batari galaxy where the Reaper fleet was entrenched. Why would there be a need to dawdle like now?
Of course, after rushing over in a swarm, whether she can win the fight or not is none of her business...Anyway, you have to fight to see if you can win the fight.
"Undoubtedly, combined with the fact that Cerberus snatched Prothean VI, this matter is likely to be true!"
Miranda simply nodded and agreed with Shepard and Liara's judgment. In fact, she thought so just now.
After all, those Cerberus guys had competed with them on Mars for the blueprint of the Prothean device 'Sky Furnace' before, and soon began to collect those construction materials with the Star Alliance almost at the same time! Up to now, they even sent people directly to the Asari's home planet, Sessia Planet, and cheated away the Proxian VI who they thought was not very important... Then, as long as you are not a fool, you should be Can judge what the phantom man of Cerberus is doing.
"However, I remember what Admiral Anderson said... the manufacture of the 'Sky Furnace' is a huge project. If the Star Alliance wants to complete it, it must provide a lot of resources and assistance from other Citadel races, and that Cypriot Burrus, they can really do it alone?!"
Shepard has seen the image of the semi-finished product of the 'Sky Furnace', and that thing is a huge space station!
And their Star Alliance, in fact, was able to speed up the construction in the shortest time with the help of a large number of SCV engineers from the Federation of Heroes... But the organization of Cerberus also wants to build one by itself, isn't that uncomfortable? What can I do?
A terrorist organization, fighting with the Star Federation and the Federation of Heroes to build something so huge, she couldn't imagine that it would be real anyway...
"Shepard, you still underestimate the strength of our Cerberus."
"At the beginning, the Lazarus Project launched to deal with the Reapers cost billions of star coins just to resurrect you! Now our leader is willing to spend even more in order to control the Reapers and achieve his plan. So much money, manpower and material resources to build a 'Sky Furnace', so what's so strange?"
Although Miranda also knew that this plan would definitely consume almost all of Cerberus' financial and material resources, but compared with the gains after success, it must be worth that Jack who didn't know what he was thinking...ha Po took the risk and tried his best to complete it!
This kind of thing that is directly proportional to the investment and return has always been in line with their Cerberus style! Therefore, there is no need to discuss this matter, it is likely to be true!
"Cerberus also wants to make a furnace, this thing is too crazy..."
"The Prothean's device, the 'Sky Furnace' must also require the Citadel space station to work? But now, the Citadel is still in the hands of the council."
Liara was a little puzzled, repairing the furnace is so simple!
That Prothean's device, as long as there are blueprints and enough materials, plus sufficient manpower and technical conditions, anyone can easily manufacture it! However, if you want to use it, you can't do it without God's Citadel. It's actually just a component.
This matter has already been demonstrated by the engineers of the Star Alliance and the Federation of Heroes, as well as Liara herself! And when the Sky Furnace is manufactured, it is necessary for the Citadel space station to control other large and small mass effect repeaters throughout the entire galaxy, and resonate and spread the power radiation of the weapon!
And once you leave the Citadel, that thing is at most only used in a small galaxy, such as the solar system, and it has no strategic significance and practical use at all, and it cannot be relied on. Take on the mighty Reaper.
"The Citadel Space Station..."
"Oops! Miranda, and Liara, I have a bad feeling right now!!"
Shepard, who suddenly realized something, walked to the communicator in his captain's cabin with a grim expression, and turned off the cartoon that Little Anne was watching, ignoring the other party's eyes of protest. , and directly pressed the communication button for contacting God's Castle and human councilor Udina as quickly as possible.
'Beep...beep...'
'Sorry, the signal cannot be linked! '
"..."
It's a pity, just like Shepard realized some very bad things, she didn't receive any reply from the other party agreeing to her request for communication!
The Citadel space station, the place that is crucial to their "Sky Furnace" project, the core that can even govern and control the mass effect relay of the entire galaxy, is now lost again...
"really……"
"Everyone! Now the worst thing has happened...."
"I can't get in touch with our God's Citadel space station! I can't get in touch with Udina, the congressman in the space station, and I can't even receive any other signals from the God's Citadel!"
After operating the instrument for a while, but still did not receive any response, Shepard turned his head dejectedly, looked at Miranda and Ashley in astonishment and said with a wry smile.
Now, I'm afraid they not only lost the important Prothean VI kept on the planet Sesia, but also lost the more important Citadel space station! That Cerberus, that phantom man, miraculously beat them by several steps, and gathered all the necessary factors to activate the 'Sinking Furnace' before them? !
So at this moment, things have become extremely serious! !
"..."
Miranda didn't speak, she knew that this kind of behavior was indeed their Cerberus style! Doing things is often one step faster, and you must do whatever you can to achieve it!
However, what she didn't know was, where exactly would the Phantom Man build that 'Sky Furnace'? Is it to find a new secret place, or to build it on that red giant star, on that heavily disturbed secret orbit?
"Shepard, could it be that the communication was interrupted by the Reapers?"
Liara asked with some luck, she couldn't believe that things would get so bad... Maybe, just like before, it was just because of the reaper? After all, the fleet of the Citadel is still very strong, and it is impossible for them to be easily captured by Cerberus.
"..."
"No matter what, I'd better contact Earth's headquarters first!"
"We must look at this matter with the worst plan now! Liara, believe me, I have a feeling, we are in big trouble!!"
Shaking his head, Shepard turned around again, intending to directly contact Anderson, who was commanding in the center of the solar system, and General Galen of the Federation. She was in a very bad mood right now, with grief, indignation and hesitation filling her heart. At this moment, she couldn't even care about a frog that jumped onto the communication console.
"Wow……"
"Tibbers, look, now things are finally getting fun!"
(゜▽＾*))
That one called Cerberus, those bad guys are really amazing, they have done so many interesting things! Sure enough, the reason why villains can always exist is definitely not without reason, they must have some real skills!
Well now, whether it is the Star Alliance, the Citadel Council, or her Federation of Heroes, it seems that those villains of Cerberus have played tricks... They have gone through untold hardships to save planets and destroy them. Countless harvesters, but in the end, Cerberus got everything at once?
It's very interesting to think about this matter!
So, after thinking that things had become fun, little Annie smiled gloatingly in her heart! But now, even if her federation is also the target of that Cerberus trap, she will take care of it! She just wanted to see what would happen in the end?
Is the conspiracy of the bad guys successful, or are the good guys like Shepard going to defeat the evil? This thing, thinking about it, is a little exciting!

(Tibbers didn't say anything, because ah, the bad character of a certain bad little master, it's already very used to Tibbers, Uncle Xiong.)
"Why!"
Miranda sighed, tangled for a while, and she was in a bad mood, she didn't care about Shepard who was about to contact the earth, but directly reached out, from an innocent person who was leaning on her body and eating a snack comfortably. The carefree little guy took out a sweet bean from the cardboard box and put it in his mouth.
"!?"
"Well?"
"An, Annie... why does this sweet bean taste a bit weird?!"
As soon as the beans were in her mouth, Miranda froze!
Because, she found that the beans in her mouth, apart from being a little sweet, seemed to have a strange taste that she couldn't describe?
Anyway, that kind of feeling is very weird, and it's also unpalatable...
So, she just frowned, chewed a little bit, and swallowed it into her stomach... It's unimaginable that this picky eater like this kind of unpalatable food, she eats it with such relish?
Or, the way she ate it just now, or the way she ate it was not right, so she couldn't taste its true taste? !
"Huh?"
∑(??△｀)? !
Sitting up straight, she stretched her neck and poked her head through the mouth of the bag to look at the Bibi Weird Beans in her paper bag. Annie quickly understood why:
"It's very simple! Because, the one you ate just now is the cow dung-flavored multi-flavored bean I just picked up? So, of course it will not taste good!"
(????︶????)
"It's amazing that you swallowed it!"
╰(*°▽°*)╯
Annie looked at this big sister Miranda with some admiration. She could chew and swallow such unpalatable things.
Those delicious flavors, such as the toffee flavor, chocolate flavor, strawberry flavor and beef flavor, etc., have been eaten by her! And the rest of the bag are all the weird flavors she picked up, such as cockroach, booger, cow shit, vomit, and devil pepper?
"What are you doing looking at me with this kind of eyes, you obviously reached out to grab it just now!"
Σ(☉▽☉"a
Who told this big sister Miranda to reach out and grab something to eat without even asking? Look, it's finally a loss now, right?
o(??^｀)o hum!
It is not so easy to take advantage of Her Lady Queen Anne!
"..."
"Cow, cow dung..."
"Hold, I'm sorry... I, I'm going to the bathroom..."
Miranda's complexion began to change dramatically, and she ignored Shepard who was communicating with the Earth Headquarters, and directly covered her mouth, resisting the rolling things that were about to come out of her throat, and quickly passed Shepard He rushed over by his side and ran to Shepard's bathroom in a flash.
"..."
(??v')
That big sister Miranda is really weird. Anne just wanted to tell her that even the cow dung-flavored multi-flavored beans are actually just ordinary jelly beans, not made of cow dung... that's just because of magic. The effect is to forcibly change the touch of human taste bud cells!
but……
Since the other party is vomiting now, she doesn't bother to explain anything.

"I see……"
"So, Shepard, what do you mean: Cerberus will soon be the first to use another 'Sky Furnace', ready to control all the Reapers and dominate the entire galaxy?!"
The holographic image of Admiral Anderson on the communication platform patiently listened to Shepard's report and analysis, and then his black face instantly became darker!
Obviously, he probably agreed with Shepard's guess and those very bad premonitions! However, he has no good way now...
"Yes, Your Excellency the Admiral!"
"Our Normandy II is now rushing at full speed to the Serpent Nebula where the Citadel space station is located, and it will probably arrive the day after tomorrow! If my premonition is correct, then, Admiral, I need the help of reinforcements so that we can stop the Serpent Nebula." Burus' plans and take the Citadel from them!"
Just now, Shepard had ordered the clown and Itdie to send Normandy II to the Citadel at full speed in order to confirm her bad premonition!
But no matter what, it's never wrong to prepare for the worst now. She only hoped that all their guesses were wrong, maybe the Citadel space station withstood Cerberus's invasion, or did they not have time to invade at all?
The current interruption of the signal with the Citadel may really be the reason for the Reapers? Those evil monsters, they have developed a new method of blocking signals?
"The strength of the Cerberus fleet is not weak... Shepard, if it is really as bad as you said, I think we need at least an entire Starfleet fleet to defeat them and get back what we need! "
"However, it is not possible now... Those Reapers, they have changed, we need to concentrate our strength now, and fight a frontal battle of annihilation with them!"
Having said this, Anderson himself shook his head in embarrassment and sighed.
Those guys in Cerberus are really good at taking advantage of the fire... They actually chose the time when they were about to have their first decisive battle with the main force of the Reapers?
"Admiral Galen, what do you think?"
After struggling for a while, Anderson really couldn't think of any good solution, so he could only ask for help, and looked at the general Galen beside him.
"Shepard!"
"It's a pity, but I still have to tell you: We are preparing for a big battle with the Reapers! The main force of the Reapers has already set off from the Batary galaxy, and they are coming fiercely, and they are still heading straight for the solar system! So, We can't help but not fight!"
The Reapers' intentions are obvious. After such a long period of time, they have clearly figured out everything, and they also know that all the variables are in the solar system and the Star Alliance!
Although they may still not know the specific strength of their Federation of Heroes and Star Alliance, they can't hide the fact that they have wiped out tens of thousands of Reaper warships! Therefore, the army of the Reapers finally started to move out not long ago!
"According to the information fed back by our scout ship: the warships dispatched by the Reapers this time account for more than 80% of all the Reaper warships entrenched in the Batary galaxy, and the number is about 300,000!"
"We have previously held meetings with Matt Horner, Queen Zagara of the Swarm, Archbishop Artanis of the Light Templar, Zeratul, Head of the Dark Templar, and representatives of the Turians and Asari. , we will dispatch about 200,000 main forces to snipe the enemy with all our strength, and the battlefield is at the Arcturus space station!"
Having said this, Galen stopped.
"So, Shepard..."
"We can't send any troops to support you this time! Except for Planck's Führer, you have to find a way to solve the trouble of Cerberus!"
The Reapers are definitely not idiots, they will not let them stealthily eat away at their strength, and they will not give them time to develop, such as letting the Zerg explode their soldiers... So, the big movement of the Reapers this time is It's obvious that they want to head-on, and don't give them any chance!
Therefore, this battle is very important!
If the coalition forces of the Federation of Heroes, the Star Alliance, and the Citadel race win the Reaper, and the opponent has no follow-up troops, then they will win! At that time, that 'Sky Furnace' will no longer be important, and they will have plenty of time to clean up those troublemakers.
But……
If they lose, it's nothing to say, their parts of the Federation of Heroes, Star Alliance, Asari, Turian and other races must pack up and run away, throwing the entire galaxy to the Reapers! At that time, they will definitely not have the opportunity to use the 'Sky Furnace' or something.
"I see……"
"Well, this time we will complete the task independently, and you don't have to recall the Führer, just let that powerful ship help you! It's just...General Galen, and Anderson, you are sure this time. win?"
I didn't expect things to be so bad, and I didn't expect those guys in Cerberus to be so good at choosing the right time. After frowning and thinking for a while, Shepard resolutely decided: This time, she doesn't need any help, just Get everything done with their Normandy II!
"have no idea!"
"Queen Zagara of the Swarm said that if she had ten years, she would be 100% sure of defeating the Reapers! But...ten years, as you know, is impossible. I'm afraid they won't give it to us for months or ten weeks!"
"However, it's not without good news... That fellow Matt Horner said that he has five levels of confidence that he can defeat the incoming enemies?"
Having said this, Galen stopped, with a relaxed expression on his face:
"You may not know that Matt Horner is a conservative guy. Since he said that he has five levels of certainty, it will be at least 80%!!"
"So, Shepard, your task is: to ensure that when we are in a decisive battle with the Reapers, that terrorist organization called Cerberus will not jump out to make trouble for us?"
After briefly introducing everything, Galen looked at this amazing earth woman with somewhat serious eyes. He has seen the opponent's strength and efforts these days. It can be said that the opponent is indeed worthy of the title of the galaxy hero of this universe.
In order to fight against the Reapers, he has been running on the front line for several years, and even died once. Galen really cannot easily deny her dedication and hard work.
"Understood! Don't worry! We will definitely do our best!"
Without saying anything more, Shepard saluted the two generals!
"Shepard, the task is very difficult, and I don't know what to say, so I wish you good luck!"
Anderson looked at the young female warrior with some embarrassment for a while, and in the end, he just sighed and returned the salute respectfully.
"Almost forgot!"
"Shepard, we captured a group of Cerberus guys on Eden Prime. They seem to be digging a Prothean ruins? There are a lot of Prothean equipment, I heard you can see Can you understand those languages and characters?"
"When the time comes, before you go to trouble Cerberus, go to the main star of Eden to replenish. In addition to those Proxians, we will also prepare some of the latest equipment in our star area for you. I hope it can help on you?"
At this time, Galen thought of the members of the group of Cerberus that Matt Horner had captured on Eden Prime and the incomprehensible antiques that had been seized.
And it is said that this Shepard can understand because he has obtained the beacon of the Proxians? If that's the case, why don't the Cerberus captives be handed over to Shepard and the others, anyway, they don't have time to take care of those things recently.
"Understood! We just need them to show us the way?"
Hearing that there was such a good thing, Shepard nodded knowingly.
Since it was Cerberus's small move, and it was still on the way, she might as well go to Eden Prime before or after going to the Citadel. Anyway, it's just to receive equipment, captives and supplies, and it won't waste much time .
"..."
"Everyone! We are about to carry out a big operation!"
Finally, after finishing the communication, Shepard turned around, looked at the solemn Liara, Miranda, and some heartless little girl who didn't take it seriously and said.
"Obey!"
"Understood, sir!!"
Miranda and Liara, who knew the seriousness of the matter, stood up and won at the same time. They also knew that the next battle was the hardest battle, and they had to go all out!
"Well......"
(￣～￣) Chew!
