Captain Ed's risk-taking approach of letting the Orville enter the two-dimensional space was somewhat risky, but the final facts proved that his decision was indeed relatively correct and appropriate.
Although the Orville went through a series of twists and turns while in that two-dimensional space, and almost failed to escape, it was just a close call. In the end, they managed to escape and brought it back to the Alliance of Planets.
The first-hand information about the two-dimensional world shocked the entire Planet Alliance.
It is said that the few hours of data brought out by the Orville were enough for countless scientists in the Academy of Sciences of the Planetary Alliance to discuss and write papers for several years. It can be said to be one of the great discoveries of this era.
?
And similarly, the Orville, Captain Ed and others will also be recorded in history?
Of course, Anne didn't know the specific situation, and she didn't ask much about it.
Anyway, she only knew that after emerging from the two-dimensional space like a hide-and-seek, the Orville was quickly escorted by several cruisers of the Planet Alliance fleet to arrive at a certain space station, and then continued for several days.
Several commendation banquets and parties were held, and she also had fun and had fun for several days. It wasn't until she began to feel a little bored that the Orville finally set sail, once again in the Alliance of Planets.
The peripheral expansion of the territory depicts the star map of unknown areas and wanders around everywhere.
then!
While the Orville was wandering around in space, Anne was also wandering around inside the Orville. After being bored today, she wandered to the bridge again.
"??"
|?˙?˙)Hello?
"Hello everyone!"
(*^▽^*)
"Eh?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Uncle Ed, and Aunt Kelly, why do you all have such funny panda eyes? Did you not sleep last night?"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
Just after saying hello to the others, Anne turned around and saw Ed and Kelly, who were dozing off in the captain's and first mate's seats with listless eyes. They could tell at a glance that
There was something wrong with the two of them.
"No!"
"Nothing..."
Hearing Anne's words, Captain Ed quickly rubbed his eyes, then sat back down and mumbled awkwardly. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
After all, his head is still confused and he can't turn around. This is the sequelae of drinking all night long, and he can't get over it easily.
"Annie?"
"What are you doing here on the bridge, other than playing with yourself?"
"I remember……"
"Didn't you play the game of The Voyage of the Sixteenth Century with Tai and Marcus yesterday?"
"Why don't you play today?"
Seeing Annie turn her attention to herself, the first mate Kelly quickly moved her buttocks and asked vaguely after yawning, as if she wanted to take the opportunity to divert Annie's attention or something.
"game?"
く(＾_?)ゝ
"No more playing!"
(*???*)
"Because they are so good, and someone else's naval cannon is so accurate, they actually accuse someone of cheating?"
?(????)?
"So I won't play with them anymore!"
(ˉ▽￣~)~~
Yes, Annie said, when it comes to the sailing warships and wooden sailboat bombardment games that those little kids played in the holographic projection entertainment room, when the size, speed, cannons, etc. of the ships are exactly the same, those guys
The combined total of several people was not enough for her to fight alone, so after a few times, those people began to accuse her of cheating, which made her so angry that she no longer wanted to deal with those guys.
"Don't say it!"
"Annie..."
"You are indeed suspected of cheating!"
"Last time, John, Petrus, and I couldn't beat you and one Zaku with three Gundams. You really went too far at that time."
"We specifically checked the game data after the game ended and found that your operation feedback during the battle was not at all redundant?"
"Every operation of yours is precise and just right. It's all data entered in advance. Even Isaac was amazed. How dare you say you didn't cheat?"
It's okay not to talk about cheating. When it came to that, the helmsman Gordon, who was piloting the spacecraft boredly, also started to turn around and verbally criticize Anne, and even listed the so-called evidence they had in a serious manner.
"No!"
?(?`^′?)?
"Anyway, I didn't cheat!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
"It's just such a bad game. If you really go to fly a Gundam, let alone the three of you, even if you add the 300 people on the Orville, you won't be afraid!"
o(′^｀)o
As she spoke, Anne raised her round little chin with a look of arrogance and arrogance.
You know, she's not kidding!
I think back when she was fighting in PLANT's ZAFT army, she was known as the 'Fire Eagle that never falls' and 'PLANT's little phoenix'. Her red Jean never appeared on the battlefield.
She had suffered defeats, she had defeated the crying father and mother of the United Earth Army, and even the advanced nuclear Gundams of those three-ship coalition bastards had been cut into human sticks by her one after another, and what was in front of her was
These guys have only been running the simulation program for a few days and dare to say that she cheated. They really don’t know what to say!
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"Ha ha!"
"Whatever you say, anyway..."
"We asked Isaac to analyze the game data. He said that human neural responses and computing power cannot reach your level. Even if it can, it can only reach that level when humans and machines are connected.
Only 70 to 80 percent of this accurate computing power?”
"So, if you didn't say it, you just cheated!"
The helmsman Gordon turned his chair again and made an emphatically statement to the bluffing Anne before turning his head again with a smile and continuing to be busy with his work.
"You just cheated!"
|???ω??)??
“Anyway, they just don’t have it!”
(????)
Annie glared at the other person's back, and then didn't explain much. She just looked around and then moved towards the idiots Uncle Ed and Aunt Kelly.
"?!"
(??ˇ?ˇ??)
However, as soon as she got close to the two of them, Annie quickly discovered more anomalies.
"..."
(??_?)
Sniff! Sniff!
So, while continuing to get closer, she subconsciously stretched her neck to take a sniff, and soon smelled a strong and disgusting smell.
"Uncle Ed!"
━(?Δ?∥)━ン
"And Aunt Kelly, you actually drank and came on duty. Do you want to drive drunk?!"
(??ω???‖)?
After confirming that it was correct, Anne pretended to be a sheep and shouted out in surprise, telling a certain ruthless fact that other people on the bridge might have known for a long time, but had always tacitly understood it and had not exposed it face to face.
.
"!
"
"?!"
When they heard Annie's words, both Ed and Kelly were of course shocked and their expressions became a little ugly.
"Hello!"
"Is it really that obvious?"
"Kelly, smell it, do you smell it?"
"I, I don't know..."
"hateful!"
"I obviously remembered to take a shower before coming out..."
"What should we do now?"
"have no idea……"
Of course, the two people who were exposed in person did not dare to refute directly. Instead, they leaned together and discussed in a low voice. They also used the corner of their eyes to quietly look at the people around the bridge who stopped what they were doing.
crew members working and looking towards them.
Then, they soon discovered that the status of the two of them today might have been noticed by the people on the bridge. It was just that one of them was the captain and the other was the first mate, so they did not expose it to their faces.
?
"Hello!"
o(*｀ー′)o
"What are you whispering? Do you want to make excuses?!"
(?╭╮?)
"Let me tell you, working under the influence of alcohol is a serious violation of the laws of the Planetary Alliance!"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o
Seeing that the two of them were speechless, Anne made a bluff, stood in front of the two men with her arms crossed, and continued to scold them loudly and righteously, as if she were a little adult.
"that……"
"Annie, we did drink, but we drank last night, and we only drank a little. It shouldn't matter, right?"
Ed yawned again and barely managed to regain his energy. After seeing that he couldn't argue, he could only admit it with a flattering smile.
"Ahem!"
"Kelly, do you think so?"
However, he did not admit that he drank too much, let alone drank all night, and while talking, he did not forget to use his eyes to hint at Kelly next to him.
"ah!"
"That's right!"
"We really only drank a little. The two of us drank less than a few... well, less than one bottle!"
"It only adds up to three or two cups?"
"It shouldn't matter, right?"
Kelly next to her also hurriedly added with a pair of dark circles under her eyes.
"It doesn't matter?"
(￢д￢.)
"Do you need me to recite the Crew Rules to you now?"
(???????)
"Tell me, will you be given a big demerit?"
(???)
Anne looked businesslike and spoke in a sinister tone, and then took out the "Crew's Code" that she had never read before to talk about it.
"captain."
"And First Mate Kelly."
"I also feel that you are no longer suitable to continue to perform the responsibilities of command."
"According to records..."
"In the half hour you have been here, you have yawned thirty-two times and rubbed your eyes eighteen times. At the same time, I have also detected that the alcohol content in your breath exceeds '120mg/100ml', so,
I strongly recommend that you go back and rest immediately."
At this time, before Ed and Kelly could continue to quibble or sophistry, the robot Isaac spoke up in time, and used the iron-clad facts to give the two of them a special shower before going out, trying to cover up something.
Illegal and criminal facts give the bureaucrats a fatal blow.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Finally, after Isaac finished speaking, the crew members on the bridge also cast helpless and playful looks at the two of them.
It was obvious that the officers present had already seen and tacitly understood the performance of the two men today. If the two men continued to argue and made a big fuss, they would probably look bad on each other's faces.
"..."
Especially Second Officer Petrus, he gave Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly an extremely stern look and look.
"!
"
"All right!"
"Isaac, you're right!"
"I'm announcing that First Officer Kelly and I have applied to be transferred to duty and have a day off!"
"Wouldn't it be the same next time?"
"As for the choice of acting captain..."
In the excitement of the crowd, they looked at each other and felt that if they continued to stay, Ed and Kelly would probably get themselves into big trouble. They quickly compromised and began to look around, preparing to let others take over their command responsibilities.
.
Anyway, the Orville doesn't seem to have anything important going on right now, and this universe is also far away from any forces hostile to the Planetary Alliance, such as the Quill activity area, and it's not a major waterway, so I don't think it's a problem.
The older Ed was ready to take a good rest and give himself and Kelly a day off.
"Oops! No need to choose!"
(?ω?)
"It's just me!"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
Seeing that the two of them were finally ready to get out, little Annie, who had seen the situation, couldn't wait and took two steps forward proudly, patted her small breasts vigorously and introduced herself.
Wasn't the reason why she said so much just now just for now?
Therefore, she must take up the position of acting captain. Even if it is only for one day, even if there is nothing to do now, she will still sit and play!
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"..."
"..."
After thinking about it, he and Kelly looked at each other and exchanged a look. Ed, who felt that the two of them were really not suitable to perform the duties of commanding the Orville, hesitated for a while, and then felt that there didn't seem to be any big problem.
He reluctantly nodded.
"That……"
"Annie, I'll leave this to you first?"
As for Anne acting as captain, neither they nor the crew on the bridge seemed to think there was anything wrong.
After all, it is not the first time that Anne has been the captain of the Orville, and it is not the first time that she has helped them solve a crisis, so much so that even the Planetary Alliance Command and the Fleet Commander have expressed disapproval of her repeated 'power seizing' behavior.
They all acquiesced.
Although, Ed also knows that Anne is always a little wanton and arrogant when giving orders and handling certain affairs, but he has to say that if there is anyone on the Orville, Ed would be most at ease with him.
If we were to choose the acting captain, that person would undoubtedly be Anne, and there is no one else!
"that……"
"Pertus!"
"Can you help me keep an eye on it?"
Finally, after asking the second officer Petrus to serve as an assistant and an insurance, Ed and Kelly stood up together, then yawned together, no longer making any excuses, and left together in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
The two of them didn't know what they did last night, but they were really exhausted now.
"clear."
The second officer, Petrus, had no objection and simply agreed without any expression.
"Aha!"
???(?)????
Seeing that she could be the captain again, Anne, of course, cheered loudly and jumped on each other's captain's throne as soon as Uncle Ed and Aunt Kelly left the bridge.
I started to sway from side to side, trying to sit down in a more comfortable position.
"Report!"
"Acting Captain Anne!"
"We received an unusual reading."
"Ahead, there is some abnormal distortion and deformation somewhere in the space in front of the star."
At this time, Ed and Kelly had just left, maybe less than five minutes, when the second officer, Petrus, suddenly opened his mouth to report.
"Twisted and deformed?"
(゜-゜)
"Is it the relationship between light and temperature?"
.(,,???,,)
Anne, who had just sat on the captain's throne, was a little distracted and asked without looking up.
Anyway, Anne knew that for such a large star in the distance, some gas would still escape from its surface, and under the high temperature of the star, those gases would definitely boil and cause the light to be distorted. This is a normal phenomenon.
Not to mention in space, even on the road on a hot day, it's not a big deal.
"Not really."
"According to the radar, the source was emitted somewhere in the universe between the star and the Orville."
"Yes."
"It is indeed emitted from the space between the star and the Orville, and it is still very close to the Orville."
At this time, the robot Isaac also gave his accurate data and listed the precise distance and approximate area direction it calculated directly on the screen of the porthole.
"??"
(???.???)????
"that is……"
(°ー°〃)
Finally, Annie, who raised her head and looked forward carefully, seemed to vaguely notice the wrong person, and then her originally unconcerned expression slowly turned into surprise.
"captain."
"I strongly recommend taking a shuttle immediately to a closer range for investigation and monitoring."
"That would be a major new discovery."
After seeing Anne gradually paying attention to her, Isaac couldn't wait to suggest it.
"no problem!"
?(ˊ〇ˋ*)?
"Then let's set off now!"
??(′?｀?)???
Annie jumped down from the captain's seat with cheers and signaled the robot uncle to hurry up.
Anyway, she originally came to the bridge to find something to do, and since there are more interesting things to do now, of course she won't object.
Otherwise, if you let her sit here all the time, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it anymore and will run away within a few minutes.
"!
"
"I am coming too!"
"Let me pilot the shuttle boat!"
Before the two of them walked out of the bridge, helmsman Gordon, who was worried that a little girl and a robot might cause some trouble, thought about it, and stood up and hurriedly followed him out.
"..."
Seeing Captain Ed, First Officer Kelly and the new acting Captain Annie all leaving the bridge one after another, Second Officer Petrus had no choice but to stand up from his post with an expressionless face and came to the ship.
He sat down in the long position and ordered at the same time:
"Everyone remains on standby."
"Notice!"
"Closely monitor the shuttle boat and the abnormal area in the space ahead!"
"If there is any abnormality, report it immediately!"
"..."
