It was undoubtedly a very wise choice for Anne not to attend the Nakler family's vacation before.
Isn’t this?
According to what Isaac said after he came back later, the family had been arguing and fighting since they got on the shuttle boat. Aunt Claire's two sons and the two little brats had been arguing and fighting.
Running around inside, like two energetic little monkeys.
Then, not only did they quarrel and fight, but they also threw things randomly. The key is that the thrown things happened to hit Isaac's operating interface and caused an accidental touch at the critical moment, causing the shuttle boat to fail.
Safely avoid that space folding area.
Then, the shuttle boat traveled a distance of thousands of light years and caused the hull to rupture. The last few people had to make an emergency landing on a planet with an atmospheric environment.
There is nothing to say about what happened after that.
It was nothing more than Isaac becoming a machine nanny. While taking care of the two 'little monkeys', he also had to find the missing ship's doctor Claire. In the end, a few people fought with the local indigenous people after a lot of twists and turns.
There was a fight, and if the Orville had not received the distress signal at the critical moment and rushed to the rescue in time, Isaac himself would have been torn apart by the endless stream of indigenous humans.
In this way, Isaac and the ship's doctor Claire and their family finally completed the survival journey in the wilderness of the alien planet without any danger and successfully returned to the Orville, and then used the advanced technology on the Orville to help
The humans on that planet solved the biological crisis, which was more or less a good thing.
Anyway!
The Claire family's vacation was ruined, and the Orville was delayed for nearly ten days before it could barely complete its routine self-inspection and maintenance tasks. Not long after completing the inspection, it received another message from the superior during the voyage.
An important task comes down.
The new mission is actually very simple, it is nothing more than acting as a peacemaker to mediate the dispute between two alien races, nothing more.
Due to the Orville's recent outstanding performance, such as extremely high mission execution (the mission success rate is nearly 100%), strong combat capabilities (defeating the Quill warships many times with the weak against the strong, it even captured a complete
) and Captain Ed Massey, who was beginning to become famous, etc. Therefore, after careful consideration, the senior officials of the Planetary Alliance Command resolutely decided to let the Orville act as a middleman to mediate.
The two mediated races are an alien civilization called the Navarians and the Bridians. They are already peripheral members of the Planetary Alliance, but they have recently been fighting for a planet called Lobovis.
The disputes over the ownership of the planet have escalated, and the conflict has deepened day by day.
In this regard, the Planetary Alliance Command is really troubled. After all, both sides can be said to be their own people, but there is only one planet. No matter which party is awarded, the other party will definitely fall out and lead to a conflict between the 'Star Alliance'
There were divisions and dissatisfaction, but if the planet was divided into two and one half was given to each side, neither side would be happy, so the matter became a stalemate.
As luck would have it, at this time, someone happened to discover an ancient technological artifact on the Lobovis planet. Therefore, with the mediation and mediation of the 'Covenant Alliance', the leaders of the two planets reluctantly reached an agreement.
Consistent, that is:
It was decided to hire a neutral archaeologist to detect the DNA information remaining on the ancient artifacts and use this to determine the ownership of the planet Lobovis.
In view of the above reasons, the Orville and the famous Captain Ed Massey, who were ordered to mediate, naturally became the middlemen between the two communities. They respectively sent representatives to the Orville to monitor and wait for the Orville.
Help them manage the overall situation until the DNA information of the ancient cultural relics is detected.
but!
Among them, some other problems happened to be involved, so that there have been a lot of troubles and disturbances on the Orville in the past few days, causing some crew members to feel headaches, and at the same time causing other crew members to have a lot of troubles.
They were caught up in public opinion.
"!
"
(O ^~^ O)
"Aunt Claire, let me go quickly!
"
???(＿＿*)??
However, the above problems have nothing to do with Anne. At this moment, she is just struggling hard, desperately trying to free her wrist from the hands of the stern black aunt, the ship's doctor Claire.
As for the fact that she will be caught and dragged to a place she doesn't want to go now, that's a matter of opinion. Anyway, she won't argue and defend too much, she just wants to get rid of the other party's clutches as soon as possible.
"no!"
"You must come with me today!"
"It's useless to say anything!"
"Annie, I will never indulge you again!"
Unfortunately, the black aunt Claire did not let go. Instead, she held on tighter and continued to drag Annie forward until she successfully carried her into the bridge.
"??"
"What's wrong?"
"oh!"
"It turns out it's Annie and Claire..."
Seeing that the ship's doctor Claire was dragging little Annie to the bridge angrily, the many crew members on the bridge who looked back for a few glances greeted the two of them with no surprise at first, and then started talking one after another.
Discussed quietly and gloatingly:
"Tsk tsk!"
"I didn't say anything, it must be little Annie who got into trouble again!"
"Then there's no need to guess?"
"Shouldn't I get used to it by now?"
"Too!"
"Hey!"
"I just hope she doesn't let some unlucky guy grow two tails or three legs or something in the hospital bed this time. That would be fun."
"Ha ha!"
"I remembered it too!"
"Didn't Gordon only grow a tail last time? I heard that it was cut off by Claire. Where is he hiding?"
"Shh..."
"Keep your voice down!"
As they talked, the topic naturally turned to the unlucky helmsman Gordon, and then everyone hurriedly lowered their voices to avoid being retaliated by the angry Gordon later.
"..."
"..."
"..."
However, although they gradually stopped talking, they were still paying attention to Claire, who was escorting Annie to Captain Ed, and wanted to hear what the other party had to say this time.
Now the Orville is on standby in the orbit of the Lobovis planet. The crew on the bridge basically have nothing important to do all day long. Therefore, they are also idle, so of course they can have enough
You have the time and mood to pay attention to all the gossip happening around you.
"All right!"
"Claire."
Of course Captain Ed had already seen Claire's menacing look and Little Annie's cunning little look looking around for an opportunity to escape. However, he had long been accustomed to this and was not in a hurry until the two of them.
When the person walked up to him, he asked casually, somewhat absentmindedly:
"What's wrong? What did Annie do again?"
"If you want me to say..."
"You should go find Mate Kelly."
"She has always been in charge of Anne's affairs, hasn't she?"
There is no doubt about Annie's strength. She seems to be able to do anything, including getting into trouble, so that the most peaceful time on the Orville spaceship every day is when the other party is sleeping in?
But now that he saw the ship's doctor Claire dragging him to him in a menacing manner, Ed could roughly imagine what was going on without having to guess too much.
But that's not important, because now he is still paying attention and thinking about other things, such as the progress of DNA sequencing of ancient cultural relics, coordinating the conflict between the Navarians and the Briidians, and what should be done about a damn blue-skinned alien?
How to deal with it, etc.
Anyway!
He was really busy, and he really didn't have time to deal with Annie's trivial matters, especially since he had long known that Annie, no matter how naughty and mischievous she was, had a certain sense of proportion and would never cause such trouble easily.
When an uncontrollable situation arises?
"No!"
"Ed!"
"It's really time for you to take care of this guy Annie!"
"Do you know what she just did?"
"She inserted a 'two kicker' into Yafeite's body!"
"my God!"
"You must not be able to imagine that situation!"
Claire continued to hold the struggling Anne's hand, and at the same time spoke loudly to Ed, who was sitting in the captain's seat, looking very angry.
And the 'Yafite' she was talking about was a passenger on Orville's spaceship, an alien, a guy who looked like an ooze and was still pestering her in the infirmary.
But no matter what, from Claire's point of view, no matter how much that Yafeite pestered her, it was not the reason for Anne to stuff that kind of 'two kicks' into the opponent's body and set it on fire!
"Two kicks?"
"!
"
"No, it won't be that kind of planet-destroying fusion bomb, right?"
Hearing this, Ed was startled at first, and then as he thought of some terrible things, his expression finally became tense, and he almost fell off his captain's throne without being frightened.
He still clearly remembered the so-called 'two kicks' that Anne had said, which were fusion weapons with the equivalent of tens of billions of tons. As long as they were penetrated into the star core, they could easily cause a series of fusion reactions in the star core.
Collapse and directly blow up the entire planet.
If that kind of terrifying thing were thrown on his Orville spacecraft, it would be difficult for the people of the Planetary Alliance Command to find even their molecular-level wreckage. It was not something to be used as a joke or a prank.
!
"Fusion bomb?"
Seeing Ed's reaction, Claire was a little surprised at first, then came back to his senses and knew what the other person was thinking, and hurriedly comforted him.
"no no!"
"Captain, don't be nervous yet."
"It's not what you think."
"That seems to be an ordinary firecracker, a toy!"
As he spoke, Claire quickly gestured with a cylindrical object with his hand, indicating that Anne had made such a thing and stuffed it into Yafeit's body to detonate it.
"Is it a toy?"
"call!"
"That is not bad!"
After hearing that it was a toy, Ed's face became slightly better and he sat back in his seat.
"oh!"
"I mean, is Yafei okay?"
Then, seeing the very unhappy expression on Claire's face, Ed realized that he might have said the wrong thing just now, and then he reacted and asked hurriedly, pretending to be concerned.
"What do you think?"
"Its body was stuffed with a kicker and then it was blown all over the room!"
"Is it okay?"
Claire grimaced and shook her head slowly, while not forgetting to glare at Anne who was trying to escape.
"That……"
Hearing this, Ed thought for a moment before opening his eyes slightly and asked cautiously with some anxiety:
"Yafite..."
"died?"
If the situation is really that bad, things will be a bit troublesome.
Although he would not punish Anne, nor did he have the qualifications or ability to punish Anne, as a captain, there were casualties on his ship, so he had to write a long redundancy report and make a profound self-examination.
Something like that is definitely indispensable.
"not at all!"
Under Ed's anxious gaze, Claire shook her head.
"Their racial characteristics make them less likely to die in an explosion like that,"
"but!"
"It also took me nearly a day to restore it!"
At this point, thinking of Anne's 'atrocities', Claire's tone couldn't help but unconsciously rise again, obviously he was very angry at the situation at that time.
"not dead?"
"call!"
"That's okay..."
Ed nodded when he heard that no one was dead, then he breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, looked at Claire and said:
"I know this."
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Since it was a false alarm, of course Ed began to think about some of the things he had thought about before while asking casually, and his eyes and gaze began to diverge again, and his mood became a little low, and he didn't.
Know what you are thinking.
"Ed?"
"I said!"
"As a captain, this is how you handle it?!"
Seeing that Ed just asked about the situation but didn't do anything, Claire became anxious, and then finally let go of Anne's hand and walked to Ed.
"laugh!"
(*?′?`?)
Seeing this, Annie hurriedly ran aside after pretending.
"Ed?"
"etc!"
"Is there anything you feel uncomfortable about?"
Claire, who was just about to get angry about Annie, saw something wrong on Ed's face, and then she subconsciously took out the medical testing equipment she carried with her, as if to replace the absent-minded and unnatural expression of the ship.
Take a long look.
"No!"
"No!"
"real!"
"I'm fine, thank you Claire."
Ed hurriedly waved his hands in a perfunctory manner, and told Claire not to worry about it, because he was indeed not sick, he was just thinking about certain issues.
"Gordon?"
With no other choice, Claire could only look at Gordon at the helmsman's position suspiciously and ask.
"Is such that."
"That's a sad story!"
"Let's put it this way, it's the blue alien. He's here and he's on the Orville now."
"so……"
"As you know, the captain's mental state has not been very good since then."
Gordon wanted to say something more, but Ed gave him a stern look, so he had to slump his shoulders and spoke briefly and cryptically halfway before daring to say no more.
"Blue alien?"
(?O?)
"Who?"
|?˙?˙)
"Why is Uncle Ed's poor mental state related to an alien?"
(?Д?≡?д?)!?
Anne was about to leave, but after hearing what Uncle Gordon said, she felt a little strange, so she came over again and asked.
"??"
Claire was also a little confused and didn't know what Gordon meant.
"etc!"
"Oh my god, can't I?"
But soon, Annie and Gordon's words and Captain Ed's expression soon made Claire realize what was going on, and then she hurriedly covered her mouth and exclaimed.
"If that's the case..."
"my God!"
"That's a really sad story!"
Claire was enlightened. No wonder she felt that something was wrong with Ed's mood today. It turned out that the truth of the matter was like that.
No wonder Gordon said it was a sad story. In her opinion, it was more than just sadness, it was simply a human tragedy!
"I'm sorry, Ed."
"I have no idea……"
Therefore, Claire quickly apologized and comforted her, hoping that their captain would feel better.
"Feel sorry?"
"No!"
"You don't need to apologize!"
"This has nothing to do with you!"
Ed waved his hands with a headache, and then glared at Gordon, who had turned around.
"??"
(???.???)????
"What exactly is going on?"
(○?ε?○)
Aunt Claire understood but Anne didn't, so she still asked innocently and reluctantly.
"It's an evil blue alien who came to the spaceship yesterday!"
"He's Ed's love rival!"
"Enemy for life!"
"Dead enemy!"
Gordon turned around again at this time, and then ignored Captain Ed's vaguely threatening eyes and continued to explain and make fun of Anne.
"!
"
Σ(?д?llll)
"Dead enemy?!"
(??ω???‖)?
Anne seemed to understand, but she didn't seem to understand.
"come over!"
"The thing is like this..."
"let me tell you……"
Gordon waved Annie to come to his side, and then, despite Ed's pressure and cannibalistic eyes, he softly explained the relationship and love and hatred between Ed, Kelly and the blue alien.
One pass.
Of course, he used an implicit way that children could understand, and didn't say anything too outrageous or explicit.
"!
"
(｀^′)
"Uncle Ed, I support you in killing him!"
!!?(╬???)?︻デ═一
After finally understanding what was going on, Annie made a quick decision, took out a gun and handed it to the embarrassed Uncle Ed.
"Annie!"
"You should stop it!"
"Kids, don't worry about these things. Captain Ed can't do that!"
Seeing this, Claire on the side quickly straightened his face and scolded with a headache, signaling Anne not to cause any more trouble in this kind of thing.
"Annie..."
"I really can't do that, thank you!"
"Although I also want to..."
Looking at the weapon that Annie handed over, although Ed was very pleased, he still smiled bitterly and shook his head at Annie and agreed with Claire's statement.
But no matter what, at least Anne was on his side, which made him feel a little better.
"That……"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"They gave you these!"
└('o')┘≡
Seeing that the other party did not dare to pick up her weapon, Annie thought for a moment, then raised her hand and stuffed a large box of 'Two Kicks' into the other party's arms.
"??"
"What is this?"
Holding the cardboard box in his arms, Ed was a little at a loss.
"It's two kicks!"
(????-)
"Don't worry, they are toys and they won't blow up your spaceship. You can put them on the blue alien's bed or in the bathtub. It's super fun!"
(^0^)/
Anyway, Annie only knows that the blue-skinned alien who ran onto the Orville yesterday was a bad guy, and he seemed to be very unlikable?
Therefore, since they have met, then she, Head of State Anne, will definitely give some advice to the idiot Uncle Ed in front of her.
"!
"
"Annie!"
"We should go!"
For some reason, Claire suddenly regretted bringing Annie to the bridge to complain to Captain Ed. So, fearing that Annie would do something outrageous again or come up with something even more terrifying, she hurried forward.
Pulled Annie again.
"Ed, don't think too much."
"Anyway!"
"We all sympathize and support you, really."
After saying that, for fear that Annie would cause even greater trouble, Claire hurriedly pulled the reluctant Annie away from the bridge. Even the thought of wanting Ed to hold Annie responsible for the bombing of Yafeite was abandoned.
Ignore it.
"..."
Looking at little Annie who was struggling to be pulled away by Claire, and then looking at the big box that the other party stuffed into his arms, which seemed to use several "second kicks" at the same time, Ed opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
He didn't say anything, he just put it aside.
