2117. Escaped Prisoner
Within the Duchy of Dawn, capital Endor system, Endor gas giant outer track, Glory mothership.
Now the mothership that carries the biggest secret of Duchy of Dawn has been sailing in the low orbit of the gas giant planet for a long time, using the atmosphere of the gas giant planet to cover its whereabouts.
Endor gas giant's atmosphere is filled with electromagnetic fields, which also blocks others from detecting the mothership. In fact, the mothership has not appeared in the eyes of others for nearly ten years now, and those foreign spacecraft entering Endor system will not find the well-hidden mothership.
In the past, some cutting-edge parts processing was completed on the mother ship. High Command occasionally held meetings on the mother ship. Later, even this function was replaced. Glory mothership now has nothing else to do except carry those Cryo-embryo and sleeping talents of all levels.
Therefore, Duchy of Dawn The fact that there is a mothership here has been almost forgotten.
But today, a shrill alarm sounded inside the mothership!
A large number of Fourth Civilization Marines stationed inside the mothership immediately gathered and entered their respective defense zones under the leadership of defense Commander. Glory mothership is the biggest secret of Duchy of Dawn, so almost all of the Fourth Civilization Marines stationed on the mothership are equipped with CMC-300 power armor, and they are all painted in light yellow - this is the exclusive coloring of the mothership Guardian troops.
Not only that, each of them joined Rebirth Plan and dedicated their entire lives to this mothership.
In the mothership, there are a total of 20,000 Fourth Civilization Marines and 150,000 combat robots. And their Commander Li Bo, as well as the most elite troops in his hands, the guards Company One and the second company, are all composed of the Fourth Legion soldiers!
However, the Mariness who completed the assembly in less than 1 minute were still confused because they did not know where the alarm came from.
The defense force stationed on the mother ship Commander Li Bo picked up the communicator and shouted loudly, "Who sent the alarm?"
"I don't know. The alarm went off by itself. We are conducting a system self-check to see if it is a false alarm or if there is really an intruder." The bridge responded to the message.
"Investigate as soon as possible." Li Bo said, waving to the rear and said, "Drive out War Wolf Mech and Goliath Mech! Send out drones to conduct a thorough search of the mothership!"
"Yes!" The soldiers who were armed to the teeth responded loudly.
The drone hangar hidden inside the mothership was unfolded, and tens of thousands of drones flew out and began to search every corner of the mothership.
But this search was not very difficult, because the results were obtained in less than 5 minutes.
Li Bo received the message from the direction of the bridge, "Colonel Li Bo, we have confirmed it. The alarm was sent by Mainframe of the mother ship, and the location where the initial alarm occurred was in the dormant cabin."
"Sleep cabin?" Li Bo was shocked. "That is the area with the highest defense and security level on the mothership! Why did the alarm come from there?"
However, it was too late to continue thinking at this moment. He immediately issued an order, "Guard Company Three, fourth company, and fifth company, go to the dormant warehouse area immediately! Block all passages to the dormant warehouse!"
"Ah, actually no need." Commander on the bridge said in a strange tone, "Come to the bridge."
"What are you doing on the bridge?" Li Bo was a little strange.
"Because our great master... is there." The bridge Commander said strangely.
"What happened? Colonel Johnson! Tell me! What happened!!" Li Bo roared loudly, and he realized that something was wrong.
But there was no movement from Colonel Johnson, and he just hung up the communication.
"Asshole! There must be something wrong with the bridge! Company One Second Company, follow me! Zhao Heng, you take command of the remaining troops! Immediately issue the highest-level rescue message to Dawn Star Planet, block the entrances and exits of the entire mothership! Cut off the energy supply to the engine room!" Li Bo immediately issued a series of orders to Company One.
"Yes!!" Commander, a man with the rank of lieutenant colonel next to him, gave a military salute.
There are a total of 500 soldiers in the two guard companies. They are not equipped with CMC-300 powered armor, but wear the most advanced Armax combat armor (Armax). This is also the style of the Fourth Legion. They don't like bulky power armor, and the combat armor produced by Citadel Standard Light Industry from the technology of "Mass Effect" is their favorite armor.
Not only that, there are two Ghost Agent beside Li Bo. There are not many Ghost Agents, so most of them are used for external tasks. It is already a very luxurious thing to have two Ghost Agents for guarding the mothership.
"Can you feel any danger?" Li Bo asked the two Ghost Agent as they walked.
"I don't feel anything." One Ghost Agent replied.
"No... the entire mothership is conveying a peaceful atmosphere to us. It seems to be very safe here." Another Ghost Agent tapped his temple through his helmet.
Li Bo frowned and said, "Things are very strange. Since the alarm started sounding from the dormant cabin, why did Colonel Johnson ask me to go to the bridge?"
"I think in the situation just now, his tone of voice was different from usual." Ghost Agent said, "Maybe he was held hostage."
"Or worst case scenario. He's being controlled," said another Ghost Agent.
Li Bo was suddenly shaken. He suddenly stopped and raised his hand to make a gesture. The 500 Fourth Legion soldiers from two companies dispersed almost instantly and entered the surrounding combat area, preparing to fight.
"What happened?" asked one Ghost Agent.
"Enemy!" Li Bo said in a deep voice, and then he was startled, "Wait a minute, didn't you see it?"
Ghost Agent shook his head, "No."
"What about you?" Li Bo asked other people in the combat channel, but all they got were the same answers - nothing!
They are currently in the passage on the 946th floor of Glory mothership. This passage is very spacious, about 40 meters wide, with machining areas on both sides, numbered H. This is a sophisticated industrial processing plant.
However, from Li Bo's perspective at this moment, he only saw seven figures floating in the air 7 or 8 meters high in front of him!
These seven figures have slender limbs, especially the disproportionately long legs. They are almost over two meters tall. They are also very thin and do not look human. They were all wearing black cloaks, and under the hoods, a pair of eyes without any emotion were looking towards this side.
"Who are you!?" Li Bo immediately raised his hand Valkyrie Assault Rifle, turned on the safety, and asked sternly.
However, around him, other Fourth Legion warriors looked at each other because they saw nothing at all.
Li Bo also understood that the current situation was quite strange. He raised his gun and approached slowly. At the same time, he said in the combat channel, "Stay alert! Follow the direction of my finger and use all detection methods to detect!"
After a pause, he said to the two Ghost Agent: "Gray Thorn! Red Blade! Use telepathy and try to see if you can feel anything. There, in the direction of my finger, I saw seven people! No... they are not human beings!"
However there was no response.
Li Bo was horrified and quickly turned around, only to see two Ghost Agent who had fallen to the ground without any movement at some point!
"Gray Thorn! Red Blade! What happened?! What happened!!" Li Bo was shocked and shouted loudly. He yelled almost crazily in the combat channel, "What happened! What just happened?! Why did Gray Thorn and Red Blade have a problem!?"
However, the company commander Company One next to him asked very strangely, "Sir, Gray Thorn and Red Blade? Who are they? Are you talking about some kind of code name?"
"You... what did you say?!" Li Bo suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body! What happened?
"What about you?! Don't you know them too? Gray Thorn! Red Blade!! Didn't you complain to me yesterday that these two guys are boring?!" Li Bo looked at the second company commander again.
"Sir, I swear I didn't mention anyone else except Colonel Johnson to you during training yesterday." The second company commander replied with a puzzled look.
"What's wrong with you??" Li Bo was about to collapse. He pointed at the two Ghost Agent who fell on the ground and roared loudly, "Here! Two people fell here!! Are you all blind?!"
"Sir." First Company Commander put the rifle back into the card slot of the combat uniform behind him, and opened his hands to try to calm Li Bo. "Listen to me, you need to calm down now. Let's not move forward for the time being. We will be on alert and confirm the situation."
"Alert? Be alert for what?!?! The enemy is right in front of us!! And the two Ghost Agents, Gray Thorn and Red Blade, have been killed! Right in front of us!! Right here!! And you told me to calm down and be alert?!" Li Bo roared.
"Sir, first of all, there is nothing on the ground you are pointing to." First Company Commander said, "Then, Ghost Agent will not be equipped in our defense force. In fact, you have been talking to yourself just now, and I thought you were talking to Burns of the second company. Now if necessary, I suggest you go for a check, and then we first let the combat robot force replace us to reinforce the dormant warehouse."
"Reinforce the dormant warehouse?" Li Bo could no longer calm down at all. "We are going to the bridge now! Go to the bridge! There is a problem with Colonel Johnson!!"
"Sir, our goal from the beginning was to go to the sleep cabin. Colonel Johnson told us that the alarm was sent from the sleep cabin." First Company Commander said, "That's why you led us down through the No. 13 elevator to the sleep cabin. If we are going to the bridge, we should take the No. 9 elevator to go up."
The commander of the second company was also persuading. "Sir, there is something wrong with your mental state now. I suggest that the operation be terminated immediately."
"Asshole!" Li Bo finally couldn't bear it anymore. He cursed angrily, suddenly raised the Valkyrie Assault Rifle in his hand, aimed at the seven motionless figures floating in the air in front of him, and was about to pull the trigger!
"Sir! Calm down! Sir!" First Company Commander was shocked. He rushed forward and hugged Li Bo's arm. At the same time, the commander of the second company also rushed up from the other side and snatched the assault rifle from Li Bo's hand with a lock.
"Sir! Don't do this! Let's go back first! Okay?" First Company Commander grabbed Li Bo and said loudly and earnestly.
"Let me go! Didn't you see those seven people? They are right there! That's the intruder!!" Li Bo yelled hysterically. He pointed forward and tried his best to break free from First Company Commander's grip.
However, he was stunned the next second.
Because there was indeed nothing in the direction of his finger. He lowered his head suddenly, and sure enough, the two Ghost Agent bodies disappeared without a trace.
While he was stunned, the two company commanders rushed over to catch him again, "Sir, can you go to the hospital first?"
Li Bo At this moment, the whole person was in complete confusion. His mind was blank, and he didn't know what to say or what to do for a moment.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up.
Only those seven strange figures were seen floating above their heads!!
Dawn Star Planet, Supreme Military Command.
Qi Jian, Ling Liang, Francis-Underwood, Helmut-Zemo, Matt-Hona, Xian Hui, Adele-Ulan, a total of seven people were sitting around the conference table. In a holographic projection, the image of Priestess is also projected here.
"I have just given a secret order for the entire Duchy of Dawn army to enter a state of stealth combat readiness. According to the combat readiness plan, all armies will enter the highest combat readiness while ensuring confidentiality." Qi Jian said in a deep voice.
"This result is too incredible. Do we have to enter a state of combat readiness because of a vague induction? Under what circumstances will it be lifted?" Francis-Underwood was a little dissatisfied. "Your Excellency is now at Unknown Regions. We all know that the hyperspace over there is very complicated. Maybe his fleet encountered fluctuations in the hyperspace and lost contact."
"Mere hyperspace fluctuations are not enough to cut off Force sense." Priestess, who was participating in the meeting remotely, shook his head. "I will leave for Unknown Regions immediately, and you must be prepared for the worst. What I am most worried about is that Palpatine also feels that Tang Xiao has lost contact."
Ling Liang nodded and said, "That's true. If Palpatine can really sense the Grand Duke, then he will almost certainly seize this opportunity to take action against us."
Francis-Underwood sighed, nodded and said, "Indeed, this possibility cannot be ignored. Then, immediately organize a rescue team to go to Unknown Regions. On Duchy of Dawn's side, we need to elect a temporary commander to make decisions for us."
He looked at the people around him and said, "I am currently the highest-ranking Duchy of Dawn, so I will be Temporary Regent next."
"I object." A cold voice came, it was Helmut-Zemo.
"What bad things are you trying to do again?" Francis-Underwood said through gritted teeth.
Zemo smiled coldly and said, "I don't think Duchy of Dawn is democratic enough to confirm Temporary Regent through recommendation."
Today I went to try the waxy lemon tea which is very popular in porridge bars recently. emmmmmmm...
Let's get a bottle of Coke...
