No one knows exactly what information Anne asked the communications officer to send to the Calivans, not even the communications officer himself. After all, the messages at that time seemed to be encrypted in some way and the Orville only forwarded them on their behalf.
Therefore, apart from a simple forwarding log, there is of course no more information or record residue on the spacecraft.
Everyone on the Orville only knew that their acting captain Anne went to blow up an uninhabited planet and naively thought that she could use it to force the Calivans to surrender, but in the end they found that it was ineffective and became angry.
After the unknown message was sent out, the attitude of the Calivans changed drastically in an instant.
Anyway, the advanced Kallivan civilization, which is said to have high self-esteem and regards the Earth, the Planetary Alliance, and even most of the cosmic civilizations as ignorant animals, seems to be frightened.
Not only did the other party immediately stop and evacuate the fleet that was encircling the Orville, but they also proactively and humbly sent a communication request to the Orville. After a similarly groveling negotiation, the other party quickly dispatched
With the best ceremonial fleet, the Orville was escorted to the orbit of their main star of the Calivans.
Of course, it might be a little inaccurate to say that we were escorting the Orville. Should we say that we were escorting the bad little girl who 'hijacked' the Orville by force and claimed to be the head of state of a large country?
Anyway!
The crew of the Orville followed their little captain in a fog, and spent several days eating and drinking on the planet of the Calivans, and almost forgot about their adventures completely.
When he was the unlucky captain and first mate, the worried Kallivan finally took the initiative to mention the horrific incident that almost led to the genocide of Kallivan. The crew of the Orville was stunned and embarrassed at the same time, and had to
Along with those arrogant Calivian officials, we came to a zoo located in a bustling city.
According to officials from Cullivan who investigated the situation, Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly are currently in the park. It was an unauthorized personal operation by the director of a zoo that has been conducting illegal hunting for a long time, and the other party has been blocked.
The Kallivan Supervisory Agency filed a lawsuit and carried out the detention. The whole story and the cause of the matter have nothing to do with the Kallivan official?
No matter whether others believe it or not, everyone on the Orville obviously doesn't believe that kind of official statement that seriously damages credibility. However, since their Captain Anne did not express any objection to it, those of them who have no say in it
The crew just pretended to believe it.
After all, the Calivans had given in and entertained them with good food and drink for several days. At the same time, they had punished the instigator and prepared to release them. That gesture was already so low. If they didn't hurry up, they would follow the steps given by the other party.
If so, it would be a bit too aggressive, and it would not be what they want to see if something else happens.
but……
After entering the zoo, everyone on the Orville, such as the following helmsman Gordon, safety officer Alora, navigator John, ship's doctor Claire and robot Isaac, were shocked to discover: this is not so much a zoo.
, might as well say that the 'intelligent human' display park here is more suitable?
Because the animals raised in the room-like cages in this zoo are not serious animals, but different intelligences from different places, different planets, different races and forms in the galaxy.'
Humanoid life form!
Among them are many races that have joined the Planetary Alliance and are familiar to everyone on the Orville. But now, those people are locked in cages and treated like animals here for the Calivans to watch and display.
That kind of horrifying scene made everyone on the Orville who came as Anne's followers almost have their eyeballs and jaws dropped. In addition to being angry, they finally understood why the Planetary Alliance had explicitly stipulated that any
The possible reason why the ship is approaching the Kallivan system.
It turns out that Calivans really don’t treat other people as human beings!
or……
Didn’t they treat the people from their planetary alliance as human beings at all?!
But alas, knowing this is useless!
Obviously the Calivans would not care about their thoughts. In fact, if it had not been for Anne this time, they would have been thrown into rooms that were like cages but had panoramic force field walls.
They were raised as animal supplies.
"terrible!"
"yes!"
"These Calivans, how could they do this?"
"It's so crazy and evil!"
"cough……"
"If you think about it carefully, humans on our planet seem to have done similar things hundreds of years ago."
"At that time, our ancestors always liked to throw birds and animals, such as tigers, lions, pandas, etc., into zoos and lock them up for people to watch, and they also charged entrance fees. That kind of behavior was different from these Calivans.
Isn’t it the same thing?”
"really!"
"Especially for apes like orangutans, the technological gap between them and us humans on Earth is really not that big. Maybe it's not as good as the gap between us humans and the Kalivans now?"
"Isn't it right?"
"Everyone, is the technological gap between us humans and the Calivans really that big now?"
"have!"
"A few hundred years ago, orangutans were already able to use tools, while we humans have just learned to produce and use airplanes and cars. Now we humans can sail at the fastest speed of ten light-years per hour, while the Kalevens are said to be in the tens of thousands.
Similar technologies were eliminated years ago.”
"If the Calivans were not relatively conservative, I am afraid that we humans on Earth would not be the ones leading the Planetary Alliance now."
"ah?"
"This is so exaggerated?!"
"Otherwise, do you think that why the Planetary Alliance strictly prohibits any ships from coming here? Isn't it because they don't want to disturb this technologically advanced but extremely stubborn and terrifying race?"
"That makes sense..."
While continuing to visit, the crew of the Orville gathered together. They didn't care whether the Kallivan who was humbly introducing various 'animals' to their acting captain was
What I was thinking, I just discussed it quietly behind me, and from time to time looked at the 'animal' people who were locked up in the 'cages' like rooms with the kind of eyes that hurt others.
"excuse me."
"Everyone."
"Compared to the facts you are discussing, I am more curious about our Captain Anne. What message did she send to the Calivans to cause such a big change in their attitude?"
"I thought about it for a long time, but I still didn't get a reasonable answer."
At this time, Isaac, the robot from the planet Kailon 1 who was following the crowd with slightly stiff movements, spoke, and directly asked everyone on the Orville about the quantum processor installed in its machine body.
I have calculated and simulated the problem billions of times but still cannot figure it out.
"Then I don't know!"
"Ask Annie."
"Me too, I didn't have time to ask, I just enjoyed myself these days..."
"oops!"
"Engineer Isaac, you'd better stop asking now. You'll have a chance to find out when you get back!"
Regarding that issue, although everyone on the Orville also wanted to understand it, since the timing was not right, they all comforted Isaac and signaled him not to rush to do something inappropriate at such an inappropriate time and place.
matter.
"Look!"
"What's that in front?"
"!
"
"Alola!"
"Did you see it?"
"That is……"
"There seems to be a Moklan!?"
"No!"
"It's a Hilian!"
"Oh my God!"
"It really is!"
Soon, after everyone said a few words, their attention was suddenly attracted by a cage in front of them, and then they all looked forward with exclaims.
At this moment, they all saw that inside the 'cage', there was a Hilaya woman who looked almost the same as security officer Alora. While everyone was exclaiming, she also stared at her with wide eyes.
Everyone looked at it, especially looking at Alaro.
It seems that the other party cannot understand why the people on the Orville can enjoy high treatment like VIPs on the planet of the Kalivans, and can also be surrounded by many senior officials of the Kalivans to lead the way, while the other party
But he can only be locked in a cage like an animal?
"..."
Staring at the tribesman of her own, Alola's eyes were full of disbelief.
As she watched, she clenched her fists subconsciously, as if she wanted to do something.
But in the end, she still didn't dare to have an attack. She just took another deep look at the cell where the 'animals' were kept and remembered the number in her heart, and then silently followed the others and continued walking forward.
"Hello!"
"Annie?"
"I do not understand……"
At this time, the helmsman Gordon, who had a relatively good relationship with Anne and often invited her to play holographic simulation games, walked quickly to Anne's side, and then ignored the angry and displeased eyes of the Calivian officials and directly
He half-crouched close to Annie's ear and asked quietly:
"Is such that."
"I've always wondered why you didn't just ask them to send Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly back instead of making a trip here?"
"What difference does that make?"
Yes, Gordon was not only curious about this issue, but other Orville crew members also had a lot of doubts.
Judging from the current fear of the Kalivans and their attitude towards Anne, as long as Anne opens her mouth, the Kalivans will never and dare not refuse. But now, everyone is forced to come here in person and see those things.
Situations that make everyone angry but helpless always make everyone feel a little depressed.
"Why do you need to go there in person?"
(???.???)????
"It's very simple!"
(?^▽^?)
"Don't you think it's fun and interesting to see hot idiot Uncle Ed and Aunt Kelly locked in a cage?"
(゜▽＾*)
“I’ve never seen people put on display in cages, so of course you have to come and see it!”
(*?′?`?)
Anne spoke carelessly, and said that she was just out of curiosity and fun, and had no other intentions.
Of course, by the way, she could also spend a few days eating and drinking well on the planet of the Calivans. As far as the treatment she was enjoying so far was concerned, she was really quite satisfied. If she hadn't been worried about a few
If something goes wrong if the idiot is locked up for too long, she might go play for another ten days and a half or something.
Also, did she deliberately tell those Calivans not to let them go just so she could see those two guys locked in a cage when she came here today?
Naturally, she would definitely not tell anyone about the above thought.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"ah!"
"Is that so?"
"good!"
"I see……"
Hearing Anne's answer, Gordon was startled for a while. Then, he didn't know what to say. After looking at his companions behind him, he finally had to smile and nodded.
Withdrew.
In this way, time passed with everyone's exclamations and low-pitched discussions.
Not long after, following the guidance of those Calivans, everyone who had seen enough of the various rare Annies and Orvilles in the zoo finally arrived in front of the transparent force field wall of a brand new exhibition room, and could see at a glance
I saw two guys wearing regular clothes in a living room full of earth style. They were arguing for some unknown reason and were about to perform a full-on martial arts show.
And who are those two people, if not Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly, whom everyone has been searching for for a long time?
"!
"
"Ann, Annie?"
"And everyone?"
"my God!"
"Why are you all here!"
"No way?"
"You all got caught too?!"
And after a long time, Captain Ed, who also saw everyone arriving, of course dropped the desk lamp he was preparing to carry out domestic violence, and instead ran to the force field wall of the exhibition room and faced Annie and others.
He exclaimed and wailed in despair.
He always thought that it was just him and Kelly who were captured here and imprisoned in the zoo. Unexpectedly, the entire Orville was captured?
"Shut up!"
"First of all, take a closer look. They look like they were captured and brought in?"
Fortunately, First Officer Kelly was more alert and attentive. The other party first threw away the stool in his hand, then clapped his hands and stepped forward. He pushed Ed away and looked at Anne eagerly and asked:
"Annie!"
"We're saved, right?"
Although she didn’t know why Annie and her colleagues on the Orville were able to get so many Calivans to follow them with humble expressions, Kelly only knew that she and that bastard Ed finally had a chance to go out and never have to go out again.
Being locked up here and being raised like an animal by those damn Calivans.
"You don't know yet, right?"
"Just now we were thinking that we might be like this for the rest of our lives, and we were even discussing whether to obey those damn Calivans and breed offspring here!"
"fortunately!"
"You came before we could come to the conclusion of our discussion."
"That's great!"
As she said that, Kelly did not forget to look at the others, and quickly got verification from the expressions of those colleagues: no matter how, no matter how it was done, she only knew that the little Annie in front of her and
The others really came to pick up her and Ed.
Although the living environment here is very good, there is no need to worry about food and drink, and there are many "inmates" around who can chat and relieve boredom, and there are many entertainment facilities, but Ed and I stay together every day and quarrel at any time.
, she has really had enough.
In the past, she had thought about finding a chance to have a good chat with Ed, but now, for the first time, she felt that that idea was extremely wrong. She didn't want to continue chatting at all, because it would have no effect!
Even if there was no previous incident, even if she and the other party did not have conflicts due to work reasons, even if she and the other party can stay together every day and live in a place of less than 100 square meters, they still have each other.
There is no doubt that there will still be disputes over trivial matters.
"..."
(?ω?)
Anne was not in a hurry to speak. She just blinked and looked at the two people inside for a while, and then asked crisply after a while:
"Aunt Kelly, are you having fun in there?"
(σ???)σ
"Shall we come back in a few days?"
(′???`)
Annie just saw it. Aunt Kelly was about to fight with Uncle Ed.
She felt that they should give each other a little more time, at least until they had decided the winner and determined each other's family status?
Anyway, Annie could see it. In terms of size and strength, the strong Aunt Kelly seemed to have the advantage, while Uncle Ed was too weak. If a fight really happened, it would probably be a disaster.
?
Therefore, if the other party wants to continue, she will definitely not mind staying on this planet where there is food, drink and fun for a few more days.
"!
"
"don't want!"
"I'm going out now!"
"immediately!"
“I don’t want to wait any longer!
"
Her expression changed first, and then Kelly raised her eyebrows and punched the transparent force field wall viciously. At the same time, she protested hysterically and angrily at Annie, who was still in the mood to joke under such circumstances.
.
"And I!"
"Me too!
"
Similarly, Ed also hurriedly climbed over and lay on the wall of the force field to express that he did not want to stay in such a ghost place for a moment, especially when there was a terrible and terrible woman beside him?
"All right!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
"That……"
(??ω??)
As a last resort, seeing that both of them really didn't want to stay and didn't show any signs of fighting again to show off to her, Anne had no choice but to turn her head and prepare to tell the Calivans to let them go immediately.
"etc!"
At this time, seeing the right opportunity, the security officer Arora couldn't help it.
She yelled and ignored everyone's surprised looks. She quickly ran to Anne's side and imitated Gordon's behavior just now. She leaned into Anne's ear and whispered in her ear:
"Annie, can you..."
"Can you let those Calivans release one of my tribe members?"
"I beg you!"
Although they knew that this request was a bit excessive, after all, they took the risk to come here to save Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly, and they should not cause trouble at such a time. However, when thinking that a sister of her tribe was imprisoned here, Alola
I still couldn't help but want to help the other person.
"oh!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"OK!"
??(′?｀?)???
Anne nodded in agreement without thinking, and turned to look at the most senior Calivian official not far away.
"Did you hear that?"
o(*｀ー′)o
"hurry up!"
(?╭╮?)
"Release all the animals here...no, all the people here!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
"We'll take them all away later!"
o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o
Anne yelled orders at the Calivan official, completely ignoring the other person's stiffened expression.
Because she didn't know exactly who the Alola girl wanted to save. The other party didn't tell them, and she didn't ask, and she didn't bother to ask, so she just saved them all.
"??"
Hearing Annie's words, Alora was confused.
She seemed to have said just now that she only wanted to save her people, but why now, it turned out that she was the one asking everyone to be let go?
"this!"
"Okay, okay!"
"Honorable Head of State Anne, don't worry!"
"We will send people to negotiate with the people in the park and ensure that everyone will be sent to your spaceship within an hour."
However, something happened that made Alora even more surprised: Although the Calivian official glared at her as a 'nosy' Hilian with some shame, anger and annoyance, in the end, the other party still smiled flatteringly without hesitation.
He nodded in agreement with Anne's words and said he would definitely do it.
"Hello!"
"Alola!"
"You want to rescue them all? But, can our Orville carry so many people?"
"There are at least tens of thousands of people here, right?"
At this time, Gordon on the side was a little surprised when he heard Annie's statement, and then he quickly pulled Alora over and asked the other party in surprise.
Although he doesn't mind being a good guy and rescuing everyone, their Orville is a medium-sized exploration ship with a standard crew of only more than 300 people. Now it suddenly has several thousand or even more people.
Thousands of people, what are they going to do?
"Okay Gordon!"
"Although there are a lot of people, it should be okay if you squeeze in."
"After leaving the Kallivan Galaxy, we can immediately go to the nearest space station to ask for help. The flight only takes more than three hours at most, so there should be no problem!"
"Say it again!"
"Think about it, rescuing so many people will be of great benefit to our Planetary Alliance. It is a political event with great influence. Maybe the headquarters will stop holding us accountable because of this?"
"Dr. Claire is right!"
"Gordon!"
"Alola, that is indeed a good idea!"
"I support it too!"
"You'd better say less."
After the ship's doctor Claire finished speaking, before Alora and Gordon could say anything, the navigator John on the side, who was about to say something to Ed and Kelly in the 'cage', also quickly turned around.
Go and agree with and advise.
…
In this way, not long after, after seeing the two animals named "human beings" in the cage, today's schedule finally came to an end.
Then, surrounded by those Calivans, and after signaling Ed and Kelly to calm down for a moment, Anne led the crew of the Orville and walked away.
"Hello."
"Can I ask a question?"
At this time, when everyone was filing away, the robot Isaac couldn't help it anymore. It got behind a Calivian official and asked quietly.
"oh!"
"It turned out to be a guest from Chiron?"
"sure!"
"Please ask."
Seeing that it was Isaac who spoke, and not some of the Covenant 'animals' on the Orville, the Calivian official's expression that was about to get angry just managed to become a little better, and it took a long time for him to look better.
He forced an ugly smile out of embarrassment and responded.
"That's right, I really want to know..."
"Our Captain, of course, I'm talking about Commander Anne. What message did she send to you that made you have such a big change in attitude?"
"Can you tell me?"
The blue eyes on his head flashed sharply, and Isaac looked at him steadily.
After several days of calculation and analysis, Isaac has come to the conclusion that the answer to this question is unlikely to be learned from the mouth of the little girl acting captain. Therefore, it thought about it and calculated it countless billions of times.
, and decided to try asking the Calivans.
"!
"
However, it was okay for Isaac not to ask. When he asked, the Calivian seemed to be frightened, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly.
"terribly sorry!"
"If Lady Anne is unwilling to disclose it, we Calivans don't want to say more on this matter."
"Excuse me."
Then, the other party quickly put away his smiling face, nodded towards Isaac, then quickly turned around and followed the team in front.
Obviously, this Calivian didn't want to tell the Chiron robot behind him: They didn't want to change their attitude at first, but after they saw the terrifying race called 'Reapers' in countless places in the galaxy,
After harvesting the documentaries of countless civilizations in the cosmic era and confirming the authenticity of the images and data, they were frightened.
Therefore, they, who have high self-esteem but do not want to be "harvested" at all, will definitely have no other better choice besides unconditionally agreeing to all the requests of the little human girl.
After all, compared to the dire consequences that may result from being harvested, the requirements and costs of unconditionally releasing people are really almost negligible, and they don't want to take risks for a little inconsequential price.
"..."
Finding that he didn't get the answer he wanted, Isaac's eyes flickered sharply again.
But in the end, after standing there and hesitating for a long time, it waved to the innocent Captain Ed and First Mate Kelly, and then had to follow them with awkward steps that were not very agile.
Ahead, those groveling Calivans seemed to be introducing a certain kind of delicacy to a bad little girl who was walking at the front and walking faster and faster. If it didn't follow closely, it might be left here.
.
"Hey!"
"Kelly, they're leaving..."
"They just said they were going to let us out, right?"
Seeing that everyone left quickly and was no longer seen, Ed, who lay beside the force field wall and watched for a while, ignored the grateful looks from the 'inmates' around him and just kept talking.
Looking at Kelly beside him, he asked.
"Ed!"
"Can you calm down a little?"
Kelly slapped Ed's hand away with some dissatisfaction. After all, she and the other man almost got into a fight just now, and that matter didn't end so quickly.
"I am very sure!"
"Annie said she wanted to rescue us!"
"In fact..."
"She also said she would save everyone here?"
Although I don’t know how Annie did it, or why the Calivans have that attitude, there is no doubt that Kelly only knows that she was rescued, everyone was rescued, and she will never be seen again.
Don't worry about being stuck here with Ed for the rest of your life.
