?
At noon the next day, Annie wandered to the bridge of the Orville again, and heard Uncle Ed and the others seeming to be arguing about something from a distance. Then, in the mood of having nothing to do after eating,
Of course Anne jumped over and cheered and joined in the fun.
"Hello!"
ヾ(⌒?⌒*)?
"What are you arguing about?"
(?Д?≡?д?)!?
Although she was going to watch the excitement and become a happy melon-eater, before that, Annie definitely wanted to find out the reason. Even if she was to eat melon, she still had to find out the ins and outs of the matter, right?
"It's you again!"
"It's nothing, we just plan to get to the spaceship opposite!"
"but!"
"Because Petrus is hatching eggs, I gave him 21 days off. Therefore, we plan to let Alora serve as the temporary captain and conduct command work, but she doesn't have the confidence?"
Seeing that the person coming was Annie, Captain Ed explained casually impatiently.
"Is that the spaceship?"
(°ー°〃)
Anne stared out of the bridge's porthole with her beautiful blue eyes, and managed to see the ship floating motionless not far away in the dark space, with multiple indicator lights on at the same time.
of civilian spacecraft.
"That……"
(??ω??)
"Since Sister Alola doesn't want to do it, why not let someone else do it?"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
Then, I don't know what she thought of, but Annie unexpectedly volunteered to take over the captain position that even the alien ladies were unwilling or afraid to take.
"you?"
"You want to be?!"
Hearing this, Ed was really shocked.
"No?"
(???.???)????
"Tell you!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
"I have served as captain many, many times, from a small wooden boat swimming in the sea to a space battleship as big as a city. I have served as captain of everything!"
(*?︶?*)...:
"Also, I have been the commander of a large fleet and commanded the fleet to conduct battles. The key is that I won in the end!"
(????-)
Annie said proudly.
Although, commanding a big battle or something, it was just a simulation and she still won miserably in the end, but no matter what, her command experience is indeed very rich, there is no doubt about it.
The captain of a broken ship is definitely capable!
"..."
"..."
Ed didn't rush to make a decision, he just turned around and exchanged a look with his ex-wife and first mate Kelly.
"Well!"
"Let me ask you, if we were kidnapped by some enemies on the opposite ship, and they used us as hostages to threaten you to surrender, and you were the captain, what would you do?"
Perhaps considering Annie's identity and her high piloting experience and combat ability, Ed felt that the other party's statement that she had experience in commanding battleships and large fleets was not lying, so he tried to ask.
"Um……"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"Does that need to be said?"
(?▽?)
"Of course I'll shoot it and sink it!"
?(???′)???
Without thinking, Anne directly stated her decision.
"!
"
"But we're still up there!"
"You sunk it, what should we do?"
Ed exclaimed in shock and glared at Annie with that damn expression.
"People know it!"
(?ˉωˉ?)
"But people don't like to be coerced. Only by using actions to show the enemy that they have the determination and actions to shoot down that spacecraft will they be afraid, and then they can in turn coerce them into handing you over. In that case, things will become different.
The adults are coercing them!"
(????-)
Annie refuted seriously, and after finishing speaking, she made a face at Kelly who rolled his eyes at her.
"you……"
"Decided,"
"Alora, you are still in charge!"
Nodding, even though what Anne said was a bit unreasonable, for the sake of his own safety and the safety of the Orville, Ed decided to let the safety officer serve as the temporary captain and walked away with Kelly who looked dumbfounded.
"hateful!"
(??へ??╬)
"You deserve to be captured by the bad guys!
"
?(?﹏?,)?
After saying this angrily, Annie turned around and left in anger.
But soon!
Not long after, she ran back to the bridge.
because……
She heard that Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly were missing. After they landed on the spacecraft, the spacecraft instantly removed its disguise and turned into a buoy. At the same time, the ship docked with the buoy.
The two idiots also disappeared at the same time.
It seems that they were really captured by bad guys as Anne said?
"how come?"
"I do not understand!"
"Okay..."
"Why did you disappear suddenly?"
When Annie ran back to the bridge, she only saw the alien Alora standing in front of the captain, pacing back and forth and talking excitedly.
Obviously, the other party seemed to have never encountered such a situation and had no experience as a captain, so he had no idea how to deal with such an unexpected situation.
"It's very simple!"
|???ω??)??
"Someone must have deceived you with some kind of holographic image, and then asked the idiots Uncle Ed and Aunt Kelly to connect with you, and then teleported them away."
?(?ˉ??ˉ?)
"It's such a simple matter, what do you have to discuss?"
(??.???)
Seeing the look of the Alola girl, Annie said with some confusion, not understanding why she was making such a fuss.
"!
"
"That makes sense!"
"That's right! It's true if you think about it carefully!"
"It must be."
"right!"
Upon hearing Anne's inference, the crew members who were still a little dazed exclaimed and agreed.
"etc!"
"Annie, didn't you call Kelly 'sister' before?"
"Why did you become 'aunt' now?"
Then, the helmsman Gordon asked something strange. Although it had nothing to do with the current situation, he couldn't help but ask.
"Who told her not to let people watch aliens hatching eggs, so people don't like her now, and her title has to be downgraded!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Anne answered confidently, saying that the reputation of the first mate, Auntie Kelly, with her, Head of State Anne, had declined, so she would definitely change the name she used to address her.
"That's right!"
"Speaking of which, I don't seem to like her either!"
"Who told her to cheat on my best brother?"
"She is just a bitch..."
After nodding in agreement with Anne's words and echoing a few words, helmsman Gordon suddenly stopped talking and did not continue.
Because John, the navigator on the side, directly reminded and interrupted him with an elbow, preventing him from continuing to slander a commander in a public place like the bridge.
"Everyone!"
"I don't care about that!"
"Now the question is!"
"The captain and first mate are gone, what should we do?"
Everyone had gradually calmed down, but Alola, who was standing in front of the captain's position, still looked extremely nervous, and then asked loudly to everyone at a loss once again.
"??"
"God damn it!"
"Alola!"
"You are the acting captain now. You just heard what Anne said, and you actually asked us what to do. How do we know what to do?"
"We are waiting for your order!"
At this time, the helmsman Gordon couldn't help it anymore and asked loudly and angrily.
His captain and good brother Ed was now missing, and he himself was very anxious, but he also knew that it was useless to be anxious, so he just stayed at his post and waited for orders.
"I……"
"I have no idea!"
"correct!"
"Second mate!"
"We still have a second mate!"
Alora, who became more and more at a loss after being scolded by Gordon, almost stopped crying. However, at the critical moment, she suddenly thought that the second mate seemed to be still in the captain, so she was as excited as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and then ignored everyone's shock.
With a look in his eyes, he hurriedly ran from Oucang towards the outside of the bridge.
"Wait a minute!"
"I……"
"I'm going to find Petrus now!
"
While asking everyone to wait patiently, she disappeared after a while.
Although she also knew that the second officer, Petrus, was incubating eggs and needed at least twenty-one days of pregnancy leave, she couldn't control that much now.
"??"
"What is she doing?"
"Running to find Petrus at this time?"
"What's wrong with her?"
"In this situation, would it be useful to call on Petrus?"
"alright!"
"Gordon, don't make trouble. Unless you have some good idea, what else can you do?"
"..."
Seeing that the acting captain had left his post without permission, several people on the bridge argued for a while, and finally had no choice but to stand by in their respective positions gloomily, and watched helplessly as the one in front of them floated against the unknown device.
The spacecraft shuttle craft, which has no life detected in the vacuum of the universe, is in a daze.
"..."
(??ω??)
"that!"
?(?????????)??
"Everyone has seen that now Uncle Ed and Aunt Kelly have been kidnapped. Sister Alora doesn't know how to direct them. Uncle Petrus is hatching eggs again and he probably won't come out, so..."
(???)
"If someone serves as the captain and rescues people, no one will object, right?"
??(′?｀?)???
After saying that, before everyone in the bridge could react, Anne couldn't wait to cheer and jumped directly to sit on the empty seat representing the captain.
"..."
"..."
"I have no opinion!"
"Me too!"
As the navigator, John and the helmsman Gordon had witnessed with their own eyes how Anne turned the tide and drove the dilapidated Orville to a victory over the Quail destroyers. Therefore, the two people who were very confident in Anne looked at each other.
, regardless of whether it complied with the regulations or not, they all nodded in agreement.
"Isaac!"
"And you?"
Then, Gordon looked at the robot busy at his post, that is, the robot scientific consultant and engineer from the planet Kailon 1, and asked.
"Feel sorry."
"I can't make my own decision."
"Anne's current status is as a 'distinguished guest' and she has the authority of a 'distinguished guest'. According to regulations, she cannot act as captain."
"But considering her experience as a helmsman and her defeat of the Quills, as well as her current position as unmanned acting captain, if everyone doesn't object, I don't mind following her orders for the time being."
The robot Isaac did not hesitate and directly expressed its neutral position with a voice without any emotion.
"very good!"
o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o
"So!"
(??ω??)
"I'm going to start giving orders!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
After saying that, she rubbed herself on the seat and felt that it was uncomfortable to sit with her legs hanging in the air. Annie simply climbed onto the seat and stood up on it.
"Annie?"
"What are you..."
But just at this moment, Alola came back again and saw Annie standing on the captain's seat.
"Now I'm the captain!"
(???)?
"They didn't object!"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
Annie said proudly, and then prepared to continue.
"Lieutenant!"
"What did Second Officer Petrus say?"
Unfortunately, when he saw Alola coming back, the navigator John instantly forgot what happened just now and turned around and asked.
"he……"
"He was hatching an egg and said he wouldn't come out within twenty-one days. He also asked me to make my own decision and not to disturb him anymore..."
"I……"
"I don't know what to do either."
As she spoke, Alora lowered her head, not hiding the frustration and helplessness on her face.
"Hatch eggs?"
(???.????)
"Tell me, how did he hatch the eggs?"
(?ω?)
When Annie heard something that she was interested in, without even thinking about it, she quickly stopped preparing to give orders, and instead leaned on the back of the captain's throne to face the hesitant and extremely frustrated Miss Alola.
He asked loudly.
"Just sit like that..."
"!
"
"No!"
"I can't say that it concerns the privacy of Second Officer Petrus!"
"That's right!"
"Anyway, Annie, I can't tell you!"
Thinking of some eye-catching scenes, Alaro's cheeks turned red, and then he quickly shook his head before saying this continuously.
"All right!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
Although she was a little unhappy, Anne did not continue to ask further questions, but was ready to finish the messy things on the bridge first.
After all, it seems more fun to prepare to save the idiot Captain Ed and that idiot Aunt Kelly first mate now?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"captain!"
"Where are your orders?"
"What do we do now?"
At this time, Gordon, the helmsman in front, asked impatiently, obviously not wanting to waste too much time on an alien who would take a leave of absence for twenty-one days.
"Bring our airship back first!"
"Then……"
"Then use a tractor beam to pull the buoy disguised as our 'Covenant' spaceship into the spacecraft for study!"
"We must find out how the captain and first mate disappeared!"
"right!"
"That's it!"
After thinking for a while, Alora, whose mind was a little confused, sat in the first mate's seat next to Annie and gave orders in an unconfident tone.
"..."
"..."
"OK!"
"clear!"
Gordon and John looked at each other, and then prepared to carry out Alola's order.
"stop!"
!(;?o?)o
"Can't do that!"
⊙﹏⊙‖∣°
However, at this time Anne spoke again.
"??"
"??"
Gordon and John stopped subconsciously and looked back at Anne, who was also sitting in the captain's seat.
"why not?"
Before the two of them could ask, the acting captain, Arora, asked first, with a nervous look on her face, as if she was afraid that she would give some wrong instructions.
"You are stupid!"
s(?｀ヘ′?;)ゞ
"Why don't you think about..."
(??ˇεˇ??)
"If you were bad guys, after taking Uncle Ed and Aunt Kelly away, would you still have left such a big buoy there for you to study and get clues?"
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
Seeing the reaction of these stupid guys, Annie angrily shouted with dissatisfaction.
"ah?"
"You mean..."
"Is that buoy dangerous?"
After reacting, Alora thought for a moment before asking with some uncertainty.
"Uncle Gordon!"
(ー`′ー)
"Drive our spaceship back first!"
o(*｀ー′)o
"Then……"
(??ω??)
"Uncle John!"
|???ω??)??
"Use the tractor beam to pull the buoy a short distance and then stop it immediately. Let's first see if there are any changes after it is moved?"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
"correct!"
(???)?
"Remember to turn on the spaceship shield!"
(?￣??￣??)??
Annie did not answer the question of Miss Alora next to her, but simply gave orders to Gordon and John in front of her in a crisp voice, as if she was the real captain.
"clear!"
"As you command!"
However, this time the two men carried out Anne's order by mistake. After Gordon used the remote control program to undocking his shuttle boat and flew back, the navigator John used the tractor beam to move the buoy a little bit.
After a certain distance, it was canceled and stopped.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Then, a group of people on the entire bridge stared at the buoy from a distance and nervously.
"Um!"
"It seems like there are no questions at all..."
"!
"
However, before Alola, who thought there was no problem, had finished her words, she was only shocked and horrified to see: the beacon in the universe suddenly exploded, flashed with a bright light, and then appeared in countless
After the fragments hit the Orville's shield, the terrifying movement gradually became silent.
"this……"
Seeing this, she immediately covered her mouth, not knowing what to say.
She knew that it was in a vacuum universe, and if it were in an atmospheric environment, the shock wave caused by an explosion of that magnitude would probably overturn or shoot down the Orville at this distance, right?
Fortunately, John did not carry out her order just now, otherwise, the Orville would have been blown up by the self-exploding buoy, and by then, Alola would be the sinner of the Planetary Alliance!
"Look!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"You know, those bad guys won't let you find clues easily!"
(=^▽^=)
Seeing that the thing exploded, Annie curled her lips in disdain and laughed.
"!
"
"I declare!"
"Anne is now the acting captain until Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly are found!"
Seeing that she almost did something bad and that Annie saved everyone again, Alora finally got excited, and then hurriedly stood up from the position of first officer and announced the fact that she had officially given up her position.
Then, regardless of what others thought, she just hurriedly walked to her security officer's seat and sat down again.
"That……"
"What do we do next?"
"Your Excellency Captain Anne?"
After sitting down in her original seat and letting out a big sigh of relief, although she felt that it was a bit bad to throw the responsibilities that should have belonged to her to a little girl, at least Alora felt that she felt much better and no longer felt
Then I felt uncomfortable all over.
"Of course we need to find Uncle Ed and the others!"
?(?^o^?)?
Annie said matter-of-factly, and then she looked at the robotics technical officer.
"Uncle Isaac Robot!"
(???)
"Uncle Ed and the others suddenly disappeared just now, right?"
(???.)?
"So!"
?('ω')?
"They must have been teleported away by some kind of teleportation technology. Can you scan the traces of when they were teleported away?"
(???.???)????
Anne asked directly and expressed her judgment.
Although, she knew better than anyone else what had just happened, but she didn't want to directly use her ability to cheat and find someone, so she could only trouble others to take action first.
"Can."
"If it's some kind of molecular transmission, I should be able to find the remaining traces of the pulse, but I need a little time."
"Scanners also require a lot of energy."
"please wait."
The robot Isaac did not refuse and answered affirmatively while operating.
"Correction."
"Captain Anne, I am a robot from the planet Kailon 1. We have no gender, so, theoretically, it is incorrect for you to call me 'uncle'."
Not long after, Isaac suddenly stopped and corrected Annie's wrong statement.
"OK!"
(?ˉωˉ?)
"Uncle Isaac, how much time do you need?"
(*?▽?*)
It's a pity that Anne didn't listen to the other party's words at all, and still called the other party with her self-righteous title.
"Has been calculated."
"It is not difficult to find the pulse traces, but it may take at least an hour or so to calculate the destination of the transmitted pulse based on the trajectory."
"I need to use a considerable portion of the computing power of the Orville spacecraft."
Isaac did not dwell on any boring question, quickly came up with an approximate time, and continued to be busy at his workbench.
"An hour?"
=????(???*)
"Fine!"
(???)
"Then you have to work hard!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Let's go find something delicious first!"
?(?)?
With that said, Annie jumped out of her seat and ran straight out of the bridge.
Of course, she would definitely not tell others that she was just looking for food on the way. The main reason was that while she was free now, she also wanted to secretly take a look at how a certain crooked star man hatched eggs?
At the same time, she promised not to be discovered by the other party, and it was just a sneak peek?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone in the bridge didn't say anything more. They just continued to work on their duties. They didn't feel at all how ridiculous and ridiculous it was for Alora to transfer the position of acting captain to a little girl.
