In the following time, a series of things happened on the Orville. Of course, they were nothing major. They were all trivial things.
For example:
The first mate's Auntie Kelly, who is flirtatious and very capable of finding trouble, had a falling out with a new boyfriend of hers and broke up; and the second mate's son of the Petrus family (?) grew up too fast and was also
In less than half a year, he will be taller than Annie and is making arrangements to enter school, and... someone accidentally let a virus invade the ship system while downloading a certain love environment simulation action program, which made Captain Ed furious, etc.
wait?
Then, the Orville needed to be upgraded, and a certain engineer who was said to be the smartest engineer on the Mokran planet was invited and caused waves within the Orville.
It was a Moklan named Lokar. Anne had met him a few times, but she wasn't very familiar with him.
Because, to Annie, who is somewhat face-blind, the other person seems to look almost the same as the other two adult Moklan people on the ship. They are both kind of ugly?
Of course, that's not important. What's important and what a coincidence is that the other party seems to be the ex-boyfriend of the big second mate Petrus.
As for why a male Petrus would have such a confusing thing as a boyfriend, Anne certainly couldn't figure it out easily, and she didn't want to figure it out at all!
then……
With the arrival of the other party, a series of crazy things naturally happened. Anne didn't ask much about the specifics, because she spent most of her time sleeping, eating, playing and making trouble. She was not interested in those individuals.
I'm really not very interested in other people's gossip, especially the gossip of adults.
All she knew was that Lokar, a Moclan man, caused a series of turmoil and disturbances on the Orville because he liked women, and was eventually killed by Petrus's 'wife' and the angry and 'righteous' one.
Kelden was reported to him, and he was quickly captured and transferred to the court on the planet Mocles for a moral trial. The charge was 'liking women'?
That's a sad story, that's what Uncle Ed, Aunt Kelly, Uncle Gordon and others on the ship said.
Those few people looked indignant and indignant when they accidentally mentioned it, but they were hindered by the fact that the Moklan people were members of the Planetary Alliance, and the Planetary Alliance also expressly stipulated that they were not allowed to interfere with each other's members of the other race.
There are some customs and morals, so I can only watch things happen and do nothing.
The same goes for Anne, she just watched the rare and outrageous things happen and didn't mind her own business.
After all, that Moklan and Annie really didn't know each other well at all, and they didn't even say a word to each other. To her, the other person was just a weird stranger.
Anyway!
Anne only knew that both Uncle Ed and the second officer Bertus were very dissatisfied with that matter, but they had no choice but to do anything about it, and the new security officer Sister Tara was even more dissatisfied, and even
You were still very sad for several days?
because……
Unfortunately, according to what Uncle Gordon said, the other party's boyfriend turned out to be the Mokran Locar who liked women and was kidnapped?
Anyway!
As of today, that matter is completely over.
It is said that Lokar will be scheduled and undergo surgery soon, and then be completely forced to reverse some 'wrong' views on mate selection from a physical and neurological perspective?
As for what the other party would become in the end, of course Annie didn't ask any more about such boring things. Uncle Ed and Uncle Gordon also didn't continue to pay attention. After all, the other party was just captured and forcibly done.
Just surgery.
In comparison, what Anne is more concerned about now is the matter between Uncle Isaac and Claire.
She suddenly heard about it when she was eating in the cafeteria. It was said that Aunt Claire had urgently called the captain, Uncle Ed and Aunt Kelly, not long ago. The two of them looked very anxious and hurried when they left the bridge.
The appearance has not appeared until now. It seems that something happened between the two guys again.
Ever since, Anne felt that it was necessary for her to rush there immediately to see what was going on and to join in to watch it for fun or something?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"??"
|?˙?˙)
As soon as she arrived at the door of the infirmary, Annie saw it at a glance. It seemed that the situation was a little different from what she imagined?
She discovered that it was not the situation that she subconsciously thought, where the robot Isaac had a conflict with Aunt Claire again or the two sides just fought and broke his skull. Instead, the robot Isaac was lying motionless.
On a hospital bed, Aunt Claire, who looked worried, nervously checked and scanned the other person's body back and forth with an instrument?
As for Captain Ed and Uncle John, they stood aside with the same anxiety and worry, waiting for the results of Aunt Claire's examination.
"What's wrong?"
o(*?^?*)o
"Uncle Ed, what happened to Uncle Robot?"
(???.???)????
Although it didn't look like something fun, since she was here, Annie reluctantly walked to the infirmary to ask about the situation first.
"fine!"
"It's just... Isaac suddenly went down for some reason. We are checking it now."
"Don't come and cause trouble!"
"If you want to play, go somewhere else to play."
Seeing Annie walking in and asking questions, Captain Ed, who looked worried, hurried forward and stopped her with his hand, and whispered, and then planned to ask Annie to leave here quickly.
"!
"
!(;?o?)o
"They didn't cause trouble!"
?(?`^′?)?
"I just came here to take a look!"
o(*｀╭╮′)o
Anne glared at the other person angrily, then turned around and walked over to the hospital bed, staring curiously with her eyes wide open.
"..."
Seeing this, Ed was helpless and did not dare to force himself. He just exchanged an innocent look with John and then came back to the bedside and stood still waiting.
Ten minutes later, Claire, the chief medical officer and the girlfriend of the robot Isaac, finally stopped.
"??"
"how's it going?"
"Claire?"
"Is Isaac okay?"
Seeing Claire finishing the inspection, Ed and John asked worriedly.
"..."
However, Claire shook his head in frustration first, making the two of them feel a little nervous before saying tiredly:
"I don't know either."
"So far, I haven't been able to detect any electrical surges or chemical reactions on his body!"
"There is no sign of life either..."
"I……"
"There's really nothing I can do."
After putting down the instruments in his hand, the expression on the ship's doctor Claire's face looked even more weathered and tired, without any attempt to hide the sadness and helplessness on his face.
"How can a robot show signs of life? Isn't it just a control program?"
く(*?^?)ゝ
"Is the battery out?"
(゜-゜)
"How about we take it apart and take a look?"
(?▽?)
Without thinking, Anne stretched out her fingers and poked the outer skin of Isaac's silver body before suddenly tentatively suggesting.
"That's what I thought too!"
"Claire!"
"Now that things have happened, we can only know what happened to him by taking it apart and taking a look."
John also strongly agreed with Annie's statement. He also believed that robot beings like Isaac should not waste time in the infirmary.
"Our engineering department should be able to get the job done."
"But it would be better if there was a detailed instruction manual for the 'Kailon Robot'!"
However, while vocally agreeing with Anne's proposal, John also shared his concerns and what they would need during disassembly.
"otherwise……"
"Can we guarantee that after taking it apart, it can be put back together intact?"
"but!"
"I think we should take it apart and take a look. After all, as you can see, this is a rare opportunity for us to get to know the Chiron people."
John did not dare to make a guarantee casually, especially since their planetary alliance still knew nothing about the Chiron people, and the only person they had contact with was the Isaac in front of him, so he had no choice but to be so embarrassed and helpless.
Some are eager to try.
"No!"
"I object!"
"You can't do that!"
"Isaac is a human being, not a machine!"
"I won't let you mess around!"
Without thinking about it, Claire excitedly refuted Anne and John's proposal, and then stretched out his hand to protect Isaac subconsciously, while looking at the two of them with slightly red eyes.
"But it's a machine!"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"Robots are machines too!"
o(*?^?*)o
"It's better to take it apart and repair it than to leave it here to rust, right?"
(?~?)
Anne pursed her lips and still insisted on her point of view.
"or……"
|???ω??)??
"Shall we try to electrify him?"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
With that said, Annie began to search carefully around the hospital bed, as if she wanted to find a charging port on Isaac's body.
"!
"
"no!"
"Annie!"
"I won't let you mess around!
"
The next second, there was no doubt that Annie's words and deeds made Claire even more angry, his face became even more ugly, and he even angrily wanted to do something out of control.
"Hey!"
"Clair, relax?"
Therefore, John and Ed had to rush forward to comfort Claire, who was a little too emotionally unstable, and glared angrily at little Annie who was causing trouble with the command.
"Don't worry, we won't mess around. We're just trying to figure it out!"
"that is!"
"That's just a suggestion. If you're not convinced, forget it. We don't really want to break it up."
"real!"
Then, they didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Claire was persuaded.
"..."
(￢д￢.)
Seeing this, Anne stopped talking.
She was very sure that she really wanted to dismantle it just now, and she also wanted to try charging the other person. Anyway, in Annie's opinion, if the robot stopped moving, there was a high probability that it was out of power or a certain switch was turned off or even...
If a part is broken, take it apart and take a look, then replace the broken one and it will definitely recover quickly. It is much better than leaving it here and scanning it randomly.
"Ed!"
"Um?"
"Annie, you are here too..."
At this time, first mate Kelly strode in from outside in a hurry. She was about to say something and couldn't help but asked in surprise when she saw Anne was there. At the same time, a hint of helplessness and lamentation flashed in her eyes.
look.
"What does 'ye' mean?"
(??へ??╬)
"Can't people take care of Uncle Robot?"
(???3?)
Anne knew what the other person wanted to express, so of course she glared at the other person angrily and turned her head away.
"The investigation is over."
"This is what happened!"
Unfortunately, Kelly had no intention of arguing with Annie at this time. She quickly looked at Ed and explained some of the basic information they had investigated.
"We have just conducted a comprehensive inspection and scan of the warship, including its own systems and engine room."
"We have not found any power surges or program viruses that can affect or harm the robot!"
"in addition!"
"We also investigated the outside of the battleship and even took the initiative to leave the star field where Isaac fell."
"Anyway!"
"There are just no unusual findings!"
Seeing Ed, John and Claire present looking at her, Kelly did not hesitate and immediately reported all the investigation results, saying that she had done everything she could and should do.
"That is to say..."
"Don't have any clue?"
Seeing that Kelly had ruled out all situations, Ed frowned again.
"Claire!"
"Let's take him to the engineering department?"
"I think Annie is right. Robots are also machines. As long as they are machines, they must be under the control of our engineering department!"
"We can try to take it apart and see if there is any problem inside, such as a short circuit in the energy output, an open circuit, or a certain switch is burned out, etc."
After listening to Kelly's words, the helpless captain and the chief officer of the engineering department, John, became a little impatient again, so he directly made a loud suggestion to the ship's doctor Claire, who still had a sad look on his face.
"Great!"
?*.?(ˊ▽ˋ*)??*.
"dismantle!"
o(*?^?*)o
"People also want to help!"
(o′ω`o)ノ
When she heard that she was finally going to cut the robot uncle into pieces, Annie cheered excitedly and raised her hands to express that she wanted to participate.
"no!"
"He is not a broken machine or toy. I object!"
"??"
"Claire!"
"Look! He's dead now!"
"It's like Tai's racing toy. If it breaks, it should be handed over to our engineering department. At least our engineering department has many experts in mechanical and electronic equipment, so there is still a certain chance that it can be repaired."
"no!"
"Isaac is a human being, not a machine!"
"this!"
"See for yourself, if he could still move, I would definitely not deny that he was a human being, but now, he looks like a broken machine!"
"He's just broken, something is wrong with him!"
“If something goes wrong, it needs to be fixed!”
"No!"
"I am the chief medical officer on the ship, and the health of the crew members is under my control!"
"you!
"
"Okay, both of you, please keep your voices down!"
"Claire..."
"I think John is right. Isaac's matter should be more mechanical. How about we give it a try?"
"no!"
"He is my patient now, not an object. I will not leave it to the engineering department to mess around!"
"this……"
"Kelly, what do you think?"
"do not ask me!"
"I have no idea!"
"I only know that we know nothing about Kailon's robots, and we may not be able to come up with any results if we leave it to the engineering department. And I'm a little uneasy."
"After all, Kailon's technology is far ahead of our alliance."
"..."
In this way, Anne, who was originally a little eager to give it a try, soon regretted that neither the captain Ed nor the engineering department chief John who were present seemed to be able to convince Claire, and the annoying Aunt Kelly was hindering it.
, in a two-to-two situation, the proposal to transport the robot to the engineering department for dismantling and research on repair was quickly rejected.
"Fine!"
"Since we don't have a good solution, I will have to go back and apply to Commander Halsey."
"Maybe……"
"Only the other robots from Chiron can help Isaac."
Not wanting things to continue to be so deadlocked, and not sure what Isaac's real situation was, Ed quickly thought of a solution that was not a solution.
"!
"
"Ed, you mean..."
"To Chiron?"
"Let that machine civilization help Isaac?"
After being slightly startled, First Officer Kelly immediately understood Ed's plan and asked in surprise.
"That's right!"
"Since Isaac came out of Chiron, he can only go back for help now."
"But we still need to ask for permission on this matter."
"Let's go!"
"Go to my office first."
After saying that, Ed, who didn't want to continue fussing about Isaac's issue pointlessly, took the lead and walked outside.
"??"
(???.???)????
"Why!"
ヾ(?^?*)))
"Are we really not going to dismantle it?"
(?Д?≡?д?)!?
Seeing that the three of them made a decision quickly and walked out without saying a word, Anne was a little dumbfounded.
"At most, I guarantee that it can be repaired. Do you really want to dismantle it and try it?"
=????(???*)
"You don't want to think about it anymore?"
(??ω???‖)?
That’s right!
Annie promised that as long as it could be taken apart to satisfy her curiosity, she would definitely be able to repair it and put it back together completely. At most, there might only be a few parts or screws missing occasionally!
But anyway!
If she really can't fix it, she can still recruit some helpers to help, such as geth or reaper engineers who are very familiar with robots. That's not a big problem, at least in Annie's opinion, those guys should be able to
There is a way.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Unfortunately, the three people did not believe it, and they had no intention of paying any attention to Anne who usually liked to make mischief. They just walked forward quickly and quickly disappeared into the passage outside the infirmary door.
"..."
Not to mention Aunt Claire in the infirmary.
At this time, the other party picked up the instrument again and began to wander and scan around Isaac, as if it could really scan out certain problems, so much so that he didn't even look at Anne.
of.
"!?"
(*ˉ?ˉ*;)
"hateful!"
Q(`⌒′Q)
Seeing that her opinions were not taken seriously by anyone, that there was nothing fun here, and that her interesting idea of ​​dismantling the robot together had failed, Anne stamped her foot hatefully, and then angrily turned towards the three people.
He waved his fist in the direction of leaving.
"Ignore you!"
o(*?^?*)o
"You should go play simulation games!"
-=????=?????(*?Д?)?
Anne decided that she would not pay attention to the bad guys who deprived her of her fun for several days, and at least not talk to them for several days!
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
In this way, when Annie was angry and was about to run to her dedicated simulation entertainment room No. 1 to play her own game and make a certain decision, Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly successfully contacted the Planetary Alliance Command.
A certain bad old commander successfully obtained relevant authorization to go to Chiron.
Immediately afterwards, in order to treat the suddenly collapsed crew member Isaac as soon as possible, the Orville adjusted its course.
soon!
As the three sets of quantum engine modules at the tail of the Orville lit up, the spacecraft instantly entered the quantum navigation mode, heading towards a certain place far outside the territory of the Planetary Alliance at a speed of ten light years per hour.
Flying at high speed from the mysterious Kailon star field that no Planet Alliance spacecraft has ever approached or set foot on.
