Chapter 197 Ptolemaios
When the small Shuttlecraft slowly approached Ptolemaios, Xiao Ran looked at this familiar ship, and a feeling called anticipation arose in his heart just like when he entered Archangel for the first time. He had no such expectations when he entered MACROSS-class Battleship. It should be said that this ship gave Xiao Ran the same impression as Archangel, giving him too many memories.
When Shuttlecraft and Ptolemaios are completely linked, Miss Huang and Ian have put forward their own things and moved towards Shuttlecraft's cabin door, Tieria also got off the driver's seat of Shuttlecraft, Xiao Ran followed the three of them through the several-meter-long connecting corridor, and suddenly entered a bright space.
Walking out of the link corridor, there is an empty room of about a few square meters. The place where you walked has been locked again by the hatch. There are also measures to gradually pressurize the room. Xiao Ran is also quite curious when looking at the simple pressurization chamber. "This is Ptolemaios..."
"So, this ship didn't disappoint you." Ian patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder and said with a chuckle.
"It's okay. I thought Ptolemaios would be a battleship." Xiao Ran smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to be a small transport ship."
Ian said with a smile, "Although it is just a transport ship, it is still High Speed Ship, and there is also Missile Launcher in the center of the ship. Moreover, MS can also be fixed in the ejection tank and used as a ship-based weapon. Now with these five Gundams of yours, I can still cope with ordinary situations."
When the red light on the hatch in front of them turned green, the hatch suddenly opened. Miss Huang and Tieria walked out first. Ian also patted Xiao Ran and said, "Let's go, let me introduce my future comrades."
Xiao Ran nodded, picked up his things and followed Ian. As soon as he walked out of the pressurized room, Xiao Ran saw the many figures he had seen countless times in games and animations.
Wearing a dark blue uniform, the expressionless black-haired boy Setsuna. F. Qingying has a slightly dull look in his eyes.
Lockon, a handsome guy wearing a dark green uniform with brown hair, smiling and waving in his direction.
The orange uniform, covered by hair, revealed only Alleluiah with soft eyes, which was also looking at him curiously.
There was also a smiling blond-haired girl, a pink-haired girl hiding behind this girl, and a middle-aged man with black glasses, also blond and wearing a doctor's robe.
Xiao Ran gave everyone a friendly smile and said proactively, "Hello, I'm Alex. If nothing else goes wrong, I should start working with you from today."
In response to Xiao Ran's greetings, even the expressive young man Setsuna nodded towards him. Ian smiled and introduced to Xiao Ran, "I think you have memorized the information about Gundam. This little guy is also a pilot..."
Setsuna walked up to Xiao Ran without waiting for Ian's introduction, raised his head slightly, and stretched out his right hand. "Setsuna. F. Qingying, the pilot of Exia Gundam."
"Hello." Xiao Ran stretched out his hand and shook it with Setsuna. Setsuna let go and stepped back.
When Ian saw Setsuna's actions, he just shrugged his shoulders and smiled relaxedly, and did not introduce it to everyone.
Lockon put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together and tapped lightly on his forehead. "Hey! New here, I am Lockon, the pilot of Arios Gundam."
"Hallelujah, the pilot of Arios Gundam." Hallelujah spoke in a gentle voice and asked curiously, "I heard that you used my Arios Gundam during the test."
"Use one to fight against fifteen flag-type aircraft, destroy all the enemies without taking any damage, and after the battle, destroy all ten first-generation and second-generation mixed teams again without supplies." Tieria, who had been silent since coming out of the pressurization chamber, pushed up his glasses and opened his mouth to replace Xiao Ran answered this question, and then looked at Xiao Ran: "As a teammate, there is no need to be modest about your abilities to them, so that they can leave their backs to you without any scruples, so as to better complete the tasks assigned by VEDA."
After Tieria finished speaking, the pupils of Lockon and Hallelujah also shrank, and they looked at Xiao Ran with shocked eyes. The same goes for Setsuna. He couldn't control his expression on his dull face, and his slightly opened mouth was enough to show how surprised he was.
Xiao Ran nodded, smiled at Hallelujah and said, "The test results are almost like this."
"It seems that we have an amazing person here." Lockon held his hands and smiled at Xiao Ran, and said, "Then I will have to rely on you more in the future."
The blonde girl who had been smiling was stunned for a moment and looked Xiao Ran up and down. She blushed and exclaimed, "Wow, they are no different from normal people, but they are even more powerful than Setsuna. By the way, my name is Christine. If you don't understand anything on the ship, feel free to ask me."
"The girl who died in the battle at the end of the first season?" Xiao Ran thought in his mind, nodded and smiled, "Then I'll trouble you, Miss Christine."
Christine waved his hand. "Don't be so polite, just call me by my name. Just call the shy little girl behind me Felt."
Xiao Ran also smiled at Felt. After Felt saw Xiao Ran's smile, his whole body shrank into Christine's back.
"I am the doctor on the ship, Moreno." The last man present also nodded to Xiao Ran and said, "If you are injured and have any discomfort, you can come to me."
"I will." Xiao Ran smiled and said to everyone again, "Nice to meet you."
Miss Huang saw that everyone had finished the introduction, and clapped his hands after looking at the people present. "Okay, that's the end of the self-introduction, Alex, there are two other people on the ship, both helmsmen on the ship, you will have the opportunity to get to know each other later. Your task now is to receive your airframe and debug it immediately. I want to know your driving data on the new airframe, Ian, they will assist you."
"Okay, Miss Huang."
Miss Huang After finishing speaking, he scratched his hair in a frenzy. "As soon as I got back here, I couldn't hold back the alcohol bug in my stomach anymore, and the other people just left."
With that said, he waved his hands and left.
"Hehe." Christine smiled and took the initiative to take the suitcase from Xiao Ran's hand, and said, "Before I do anything, I have to assign you a room and change your clothes. I'll leave the matter of the machine to them first. I'll take you to your room."
Xiao Ran smiled awkwardly at Christine, not used to her enthusiasm. He glanced at Ian, the one who communicated the most among the people, who patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm not just worried about these few minutes, I also have to change my clothes. After you change your clothes, let Christine take you to the Gnaku where your body is stored."
Xiao Ran nodded, looked at the other people and smiled sheepishly, and said to Christine, "Then I'll trouble you, Christine."
"Let's go." Christine smiled generously, and left this crowded place with Xiao Ran.
The other people looked at the back of Xiao Ran and sighed.
Lockon was the first to speak, "Uncle Ian, if this person named Alex is so powerful, why didn't he join Tianren in the first place?"
"I was originally selected as a pilot to serve as a support team and reserve team, but I didn't expect that after doing so well in the first test, I got the attention of VEDA." Ian said, shaking his head slightly, and continued, "After investigation, I found out that Alex's family fortune is actually quite rich. During the contact, I learned that he personally owns his own secret MS development organization and has developed something amazing."
"After learning about Tianren's purpose, he also offered to hand over the technical data he had to Tianren, but he also put forward some other requirements, such as not revealing his identity to anyone. You must remember these." Ian said that he did not forget to remind a few people present, and then continued, "Originally, I was the one to receive the information, but I didn't expect VEDA to receive it and seal it. It seems that those things are really amazing."
Tieria also spoke after Ian finished speaking, "Alex has other tasks besides ours, so he will only assist us when there are tasks. Normally, he will not stay on Ptolemaios for a long time."
"Big rich man, Piloting Skill is very good, and he also has his own private Research Institution." Lockon took a breath and said in surprise, "It seems that I have really found an amazing person, Setsuna, what do you think?"
Setsuna glanced at Lockon and said calmly, "As long as the mission can be completed."
"Haha, such an answer is really your style." Lockon smiled and patted Setsuna hard on the back several times, causing Setsuna to stand unsteadily and rush forward a few steps, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"This is your room. Although it is a bit simple, it is very comfortable to live in. There is a separate bathroom and computer in the room, but if you want to eat, you have to go to the kitchen. If you feel it is too spacious, you can buy some things back on Earth the next time you go to Earth. There are no restrictions on this."
Not long after Xiao Ran left with Christine, he was taken into a simple and tidy room. After listening to Christine's words, he also smiled, "Thank you."
"It doesn't matter, then I will go out and wait for you outside. After changing my clothes, I will take you to Gnaku." Christine shook his head and walked out of the room.
When the door to the room was closed, Xiao Ran also took a good look at the room where he would stay for a long time. After looking around again, he shook his head and quickly changed his clothes.
