Anne's excitement did not last long, and she quickly changed from happy to unhappy.
Because...
Those guys who suddenly became nervous and excited, they were not going to fight, fight or do other interesting things as she thought, but just to fight with someone who was sending a message to the universe for the first time.
civilization made first contact?
That is, to come into contact with that boring civilization that is just like the people on earth around the 21st century, who are randomly sending signals, coordinates and greetings to the universe?
Anyway!
After understanding and knowing that it was really not a fun thing, Anne got angry and stamped her feet on the spot and left the bridge. At the same time, she also made it clear that she refused the invitation, saying that she would never participate in that kind of solo.
It's such a boring thing to think about.
She didn't want to come into contact with the humans on that unknown planet, nor did she want to join in the fun, and she couldn't understand the senseless excitement of Uncle Ed and the others.
But...
One day later, when Annie was playing a game in her dedicated simulation entertainment room No. 1, she led the Mayan civilization to smelt steel and make guns and cannons to defeat the European colonists' barbaric invasion of the Americas, and successfully defeated all those colonists.
After being thrown into the sea to feed the whales and preparing to build a sailboat to counterattack the European continent and the British Isles, an emergency call forced her to regretfully end the game and return to the somewhat empty bridge.
At this time, the Orville's bridge was already in chaos. She was invited back to the bridge by helmsman Gordon and the robot Isaac to preside over the situation. After discussion, those people agreed that in this case
, only she has the ability to handle the current crises and difficulties facing the Orville at such a critical moment?
Because, at this very moment, Captain Ed, First Mate Kelly, Second Mate Petrus and other representatives went to the surface of the planet to have the 'first intimate contact' with that backward barbaric civilization that had just begun to explore space.
We're in big trouble.
It is said that First Mate Kelly and Second Mate Petrus were arrested, and Captain Ed, Chief Medical Officer Claire, and the new Hilian Security Officer are about to be deported back?
But at present, the shuttle boat is still detained by those barbarians, so that Ed and the others are unable to come back immediately. Therefore, in view of the fact that there is no senior commander with sufficient weight on the Orville, Gordon and others have no choice but to invite
Apart from Annie coming out to preside over the situation and coordinating matters related to Ed and others on the surface of the planet, there is no other better choice.
"ha!"
?(￣??)???
In this way, after Anne sneaked into the bridge and sat on the captain's throne in public, the first thing she did was of course order to contact the idiot Uncle Ed on the ground.
Aunt Laier and the security officer whose names Anne hadn't yet had time to remember.
"Ed Sweat!"
(?ω?)
"I heard that you messed up things. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
?(?????)?
After seeing that idiot Uncle Ed's tired and embarrassed face appear on the holographic interface in the large porthole of the bridge, Anne couldn't wait to ask in a crisp voice, and she didn't even try to hide the look on her face.
It means the expression of excitement and expectation that takes pleasure in misfortune.
"??"
"Annie..."
Seeing Anne sitting in her captain's position and seemingly already taking charge of the captain's affairs on the Orville, Ed didn't find it strange, and he had no intention of objecting. He just felt resentful.
Yuandu Du protested with a small face to Annie, who was obviously just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously:
"Please!"
"When you ask questions, can you change your expression to make us less angry?"
"you saw it!"
"The situation for the few of us is bad enough now!"
Yes, the situation is indeed quite bad.
Until now, Ed is still a little confused and has not fully understood why the other party suddenly turned against him and not only took Kelly and Pettus away, but also temporarily detained their shuttle boat. He didn't know why until now
I'm still confused now, and I can't completely resolve certain situations.
"Change your expression?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"Then it's okay for people to do this, right?"
(?^▽^?)
Perhaps she realized that her expression just now was indeed a bit too expectant and gloating, so soon, Anne thoughtfully changed into a sweet smile.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"never mind!"
"whatever!"
Seeing Annie's smiling face, Ed on the communication line opened his mouth, and finally just sighed, with no intention of continuing to argue.
"Na!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
"Uncle Ed, tell me quickly, what happened?"
(???c)
Anne couldn't wait for this.
After all, Gordon and others did not fully explain the matter to her just now. They only said that their people were taken away. They did not say how they were taken away or how the conflict between the two parties broke out. Therefore, she is now
I'd love to know the specific process.
Although, understanding what happened will not affect some of the decisions she is going to make and some of the instructions she is going to issue next, but since she can understand the potentially interesting process for the first time, she will definitely
It won't be missed.
"OK."
"Anyway, we don't have any good solutions now. We probably won't be able to go back until tomorrow morning, so let's talk to you first!"
Seeing Annie's expectant look, Ed, who was a little exhausted mentally and physically, muttered and organized some words before finally telling the general story of what happened.
"Well……"
"It was like this at the time..."
In the morning, that is, the morning in this area of ​​the planet where they were, he, first mate Kelly, second mate Betus, chief medical officer Claire and the new Hilian security officer Lieutenant Tara and a group of five people based on
Using the coordinates provided by the other party, he successfully landed under the spotlight and had a friendly meeting with the top leaders of the planet.
There is no doubt that the initial communication between the two parties was so smooth that Ed even made an exception and decided to let everyone have lunch with each other?
During this period, they were still chatting happily with each other without any conflicts.
Through understanding, Ed discovered that certain values ​​that are relatively normal in the universe and that are observed by various civilizations in their planetary alliance can also be basically seen from those people. Of course, Ed was very satisfied with this for a time.
But no idea...
When Kelly accidentally mentioned at the party that she and second mate Petrus both had birthdays next week, an accident happened.
No warning!
The other party, who had been chatting happily, suddenly panicked as soon as Kelly finished speaking. Then, after bursts of confusion, the other party brazenly called for the guards, arrested them all, and returned them.
They were forced to conduct some strange tests.
Ed didn't know what the specific test was. Claire, who was accompanying him, might know, but he didn't have time to ask.
Anyway, he only knew that not long after the test results came out, Ed, Claire and Tara were released by the other party, but Kelly and Pettus were declared guilty and executed by the other party.
arrest?
Amidst the confused and even angry questioning from Ed and others, the other party impatiently sent someone to answer their doubts.
turn out to be……
For some reason, people on this planet believe that people born in the month of the Kliak constellation are violent. Therefore, their laws and morals believe that anyone born in that month is guilty and must be punished.
Sent to a concentration camp to receive some punishment?
Moreover, what is outrageous is that the other party still stubbornly believes that Kelly and Pettus are guilty regardless of how Ed and others explain it!
Even though Ed has said it many times, Kelly and Petrus are not from the other planet. In addition, the calendars of each planet and each race are different. The other party's evidence is not sufficient and should not be wrong.
The two were tried and convicted, but the result was: the other party didn't listen at all?
"that's all……"
"They stubbornly believe that Kelly and Petrus are guilty and call them 'Kiriak'?"
"It probably means something similar to what we earthlings call 'demon' or something else, such as 'evil god'?"
"Anyway!"
"We tried our best, but we just couldn't persuade them!"
"So, I plan to go back as soon as they return the shuttle boat to us, tomorrow morning at the latest."
"But before that, we first need to determine the status of Kelly and Pettus."
"That's probably what happened."
After saying that, and showing Annie a smile that was uglier than crying, Ed told her his plans and arrangements.
"Is it so outrageous?"
!(?o?;)
"You are guilty if your birth date is wrong? Are those guys all a bunch of lunatics?!"
=????(???*)
Annie was surprised and said that even though she had been to many different worlds and planes, the situation that the idiot Uncle Ed just mentioned was really the first time she encountered it.
"I have no idea!"
"There is no point in discussing those things now. We must try to rescue Kelly and Petrus as soon as possible. That is the top priority."
"otherwise……"
Otherwise, Ed didn't say anything. He just shook his head with a wry smile and sighed. At the same time, the tired look on his face became stronger.
It can be seen that he doesn't seem to want to discuss more when his companions are not out of danger. Moreover, the three of them are still on someone else's territory. If the other party gets violent, they will also arrest the three of them.
If you get up, things will become more troublesome.
"Oh well!"
(′～`●)
"It's really troublesome!"
ε=(′ο｀*)))Alas
Anne also sighed.
Now that she had heard all the excitement and curiosity, she felt that it was time to get down to business, otherwise Gordon and the others would not have hurriedly invited her to the bridge and presided over the situation.
"correct!"
?????)
"Uncle Ed, I almost forgot to ask, how will Aunt Kelly and Petrus Shamrock be treated by those people after they are captured?"
(???.???)????
Before planning to end the communication, Anne suddenly thought of another question and asked.
You know, this question is related to the intensity and speed of certain measures that Anne is going to take next, so she must ask clearly first.
"have no idea."
"But I heard that many 'Kiryaks' in the concentration camps would be executed for disobeying discipline?"
"and.….."
"For countless years, no one has ever come out alive from there?"
"But considering that Kelly and Pettus were just arrested, there shouldn't be any danger in the short term."
"It should be like that..."
As he spoke, Ed himself couldn't help but feel a little unconfident. At the same time, the worried and anxious look on his face in the communication screen also betrayed his true thoughts.
"Annie!"
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"How about you help me think about it?"
Ed knows that Anne has always had a lot of clever ideas, and has indeed helped the Orville deal with many crises. If Anne can come up with some good ideas this time, he will definitely consider it humbly.
After all, they really have no good solution now.
At least, not yet?
"Think of ways to?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Why do we need to find a way?"
(???.???)????
As if she heard some ridiculous words, Anne asked the idiot Ed on the holographic screen strangely:
"Uncle Ed, you are so strange!"
=????(???????)!
"A planet that doesn't even have an interstellar battleship captured our people, and then, you didn't rush to rescue them, and you still asked them to think of what else to do?"
(??ω???‖)?
"Can't we just knock on the door?"
Q(`⌒′Q)
"People need to let their stupid guys know what dimensionality reduction strikes are and what the laws of the dark jungle are!"
(???)
"Those guys who have to burn rockets even to reach the universe, think that other people's spaceships belong to Zhihu, and they can just come and arrest people for fun?"
Hahaha??(???*)
After first pretending to be angry and telling her plan, Anne herself couldn't help but grin.
really!
Anyway, when she asked just now, she had already thought about it, even thinking about her toes and toenails, but she just couldn't figure out why the person who broke the planet could be so confident.
Do you dare to arrest anyone from the Weir?
Don't those guys know what it means to be afraid of such a big broken spaceship flying in the orbit of the other planet?!
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"ah?"
"this……"
After hearing what Annie said and understanding what Annie wanted to express, Ed in the communication screen couldn't help but be stunned.
"!
"
"No! No!"
"Annie!"
"The laws of the Planetary Alliance stipulate that when in contact with primary civilizations, you can only act in accordance with the laws and rules of the other civilization. I strongly object to your use of force!"
Then, of course, Ed objected loudly and blushed.
In fact, he has thought about the method Anne just said, but that method is obviously strictly prohibited by the laws of the alliance. It is a crime and should not be done as a last resort. Ed will never agree to do that!
Furthermore, Kelly and Pettus have just been arrested, and the situation is far from reaching the level that requires the use of force.
"invalid objection!"
(???3?)
"If you don't listen, you just don't listen!"
o(′^｀)o
Annie turned her face away proudly.
You know, Anne, the head of state, has always done whatever she wants. She can just talk about her objections and different opinions. She will not listen too much anyway, and she will not accept them.
"I am the captain now, and I have the final say here!"
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
"Your decisions on the planet cannot affect others!"
(????-)?
Seeing that the other party wanted to say something else, Anne proudly added this, and playfully made faces and stuck out her tongue at the other party.
In any case, almost all the senior officers on the Orville are gone now. The stupid Uncle Ed is not here, the first mate Auntie Kelly is not here, and the ugly alien monster second mate Petrus is not here either. So, now the sky is the limit for her.
Captain Anne is the biggest, she can do whatever she wants, she just likes to be so willful and do whatever she wants!
"you….."
"Gordon!"
"You must stop her!"
"This is an order!
"
After a pause, he seemed to know that he really couldn't stop Annie, especially when he was still on the planet, so Ed quickly looked at the helmsman, first mate, and others and ordered.
"..."
"..."
Gordon didn't speak, but looked at the communications officer next to him.
"Ahem!"
"Brother, you are still on the planet. According to the relevant regulations of our Star Alliance, I can only obey the orders of the captain of the ship, and the current captain is Anne, so..."
"Please allow me to refuse your order?"
"I'm really sorry!"
"I'll buy you a drink when you come back?"
After thinking for a while and seeing that no one else objected, Gordon winked and said this to the stunned Ed.
Since they asked Anne to come as reinforcements, of course they were prepared to comply unconditionally. Moreover, after stopping the conversation between Anne and Ed just now, he seemed to think that Anne's plan to directly use force to rescue was a very good idea.
plan.
After all, they couldn't just watch Kelly and Bertus die, especially considering that they might be executed at any time.
Then again!
It was not once or twice that Anne acted as the temporary captain of the Orville and directed their operations. In addition, every time afterwards, Anne's decision was proved to be extremely correct. Kelly also said it a few days ago,
Annie's commander test scores are the best among all the commanders in the Planetary Alliance. In addition, no matter what Annie does, the Planetary Alliance headquarters neither dares nor will punish her. Therefore, Gordon is really looking for
No reason for rejection.
"Captain Ed."
"After my logical analysis and calculation, I also think Annie's method is the best at present."
"In a situation where First Officer Kelly and Second Officer Petrus could be killed at any time, immediate and direct use of force is undoubtedly the best option."
"Even if this plan may violate the laws and regulations related to Article 123 of the Planetary Alliance?"
At this time, the robot Isaac also added these words, and also pointed out the exact number of laws and regulations that Annie's actions violated.
However, even though it said that, like Gordon, it was still sitting at its post leisurely and busy, and had no intention of obeying Ed's orders and stopping Anne.
"hey-hey!"
(?￣?￣?)
"Look, Uncle Ed, they don't seem to be willing to listen to you!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
"So!"
(???)
"Everyone, listen up, I'm going to start giving orders!"
?*.?(ˊ▽ˋ*)??*.
After saying that, Annie didn't turn off the communication, and jumped up from her seat when the idiot Uncle Ed looked worried and anxious, and just stepped on it and waved her little fists, preparing to give some kind of message that Ed was least willing to do.
See the instructions.
