The reason why Captain Ed, First Officer Kelly and others invited Annie to the meeting for the first time was of course because the Orville was about to receive a team of envoys from an alien race called the Ganis.
.
The technological development level of the Naganis is basically the same as that of the current Planetary Alliance. They had contact with the Planetary Alliance a long time ago, and this time, in order to deal with the imminent threat of the Chilon robots, and with the Quail people
The alliance agreement went bankrupt, and the top leaders of the Planetary Alliance, who urgently needed to unite more forces to deal with external threats, quickly made a decision: requiring Captain Ed and others of the Orville to try their best to win over those
Joining the Canis!
Given that the Naganis are actually the same as the Maklans, they have a lot of stubborn commonalities in their views on certain things, such as an extreme single-sex social system?
The only difference between the two is:
Although the Ganis are a matriarchal society, they allow men to exist, but almost all important and decent jobs are held by women. They stubbornly believe that men are not worthy of holding high-level positions and are unreliable? While the Moklan people
Completely on the contrary, they exclude all but men and do not allow women to exist at all. They also believe that women are unclean and deformed creatures that must be corrected once discovered?
Therefore, in order to deal with the next important work, and at the same time to take care of and cater to some of the Ganis people's views on the Orville and the Planetary Alliance, Captain Ed, First Officer Kelly and others, after some heated discussions,
It was unanimously decided to temporarily transform the entire Orville into a ship that conforms to the values ​​of the 'matriarchal society'!
In other words, within the next few hours, before those Ganis people arrive and send a delegation to the Orville for a visit and preliminary discussions, all senior male officers must be removed from the Orville!
At the same time, all important positions must be replaced by female officers!
Of course, it is not a real removal, but just a show and requiring all male officers to change into red uniforms of second lieutenant or lower rank and go to the lake to play with the Canis people, until the negotiation is successfully concluded.
Just change it back.
The main purpose of holding that meeting was to work out a plan of action after the other party's delegation officially arrived on the Orville.
At the same time, in view of Anne's excellent ship command capabilities and powerful personal force (including but not limited to driving Gundam, other vehicles and personal combat capabilities, etc.), I feel that Anne's existence can definitely intimidate those Ganis and others.
This greatly added points to the Orville and the Planetary Alliance, so Captain Ed made a resolute decision: While temporarily removing all senior male crew members of the Orville, including his own military positions, he appointed Anne as the captain of the Orville.
And increase the rank of major general!
Naturally, Captain Ed is just a four-pole colonel. He certainly does not have the power to appoint captains and rear admirals, but that does not prevent them from temporarily putting on a fake military uniform and coaxing Annie while going to the lake.
Get those incoming Ganis.
Anyway!
The meeting ended not long after, and after the spirit of the meeting was conveyed and it was ensured that the officers and soldiers on the ship would cooperate as much as possible, Annie also changed into a purple Major General uniform of the Planetary Alliance for the first time.
And for the first time, he became the captain of the Orville without crisis.
A few hours later.
In the orbit of the mineral planet Situla 4, Annie, who was wearing a fitted Major General uniform of the Planetary Alliance and found it a bit funny, was on the lift platform of the Orville hangar, along with First Officer Kelly and Safety Officer Kayla.
Chief Medical Officer Claire and others received the Ganis colonel and his two followers.
"welcome!"
"Colonel Rosa!"
"It's been a hard journey."
"Welcome aboard the Orville!"
When the opponent's shuttle boat parked and saw three Ganis women with tattoos on their faces and weird hairstyles coming down, first mate Kelly, who was well prepared, was the first to greet them with a smile.
"..."
"..."
"..."
However, the three arrogant women just glanced at her casually, then walked past her arrogantly, then walked quickly to Anne and said in a deep voice:
"Nice to meet you!"
"Dear Captain Anne."
"We've heard a lot about you..."
"As for your record of defeating two Quail Marines single-handedly, defeating Quail warships several times with the help of a scientific research ship, the Orville, and destroying dozens of Kailon mechanical warships by yourself, we Ganis people also have the same record.
Very shocked and very admired!”
"Please allow us to express our highest respect to you!"
While expressing admiration, the very fierce-looking Ganisian woman, the colonel named Rosa, actually bowed her head and bowed her head towards Anne with a face of humility and admiration.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing this, Kelly, Tara, Claire and others couldn't help but look at each other in surprise and sincerely admired Ed's proposal to let Annie temporarily serve as the captain.
They were a little worried before. After all, Anne was very naughty and they were afraid that it would affect the negotiations, but now it seems that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
"oops!"
ヾ(o′?｀o)?
"It's nothing, I'm just having fun!"
(?′▽｀)??
"Don't be so polite!"
(o?▽?)o
Anne waved her hand, feeling a little proud, but also not forgetting to signal these people not to be too formal.
After all, what she said was actually right. She had just been casually following the Orville around for fun. If she had really taken it seriously, I'm afraid there wouldn't be those Chiron stars.
What happened to the robot?
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"yes!"
"As you wish?"
After hearing Anne's words and indicating that there was no need to be polite, the three people slowly stood up straight again, but their faces still had that humble and awkward look, and they still kept their bodies very low, which was completely different.
It was the arrogant look on his face when he just stepped off the shuttle and faced First Officer Kelly.
"I saw!"
"This should be your car, that legendary Gundam?"
"It's really mighty!"
"It is indeed the hottest new weapon in the galaxy at present. This powerful weapon should be the latest invention of your country in another universe, right?"
Then, after greeting Anne, the three people turned around and looked at the majestic and domineering aircraft standing on the platform next to the elevator of the Orville hangar. It was at least twenty meters high, so that the deck was lifted.
Red Jean, who was five or six stories taller, admired from the bottom of his heart.
"Forget it!"
(lll￢▽￢)
However, Anne didn't want to explain more.
Anyway, she wouldn't say that in addition to having fun and helping the Planet Alliance when she released the Gundam, she also had the intention of secretly distorting the technology tree of this world?
And now it seems that the effect is quite good?
She has already begun to look forward to it. If this continues, as the news spreads, it will not be long before many crooked star race forces, including the Planetary Alliance, may develop similar weapons to replace the 'old' ones.
Space fighter, when the time comes, the scenes of humanoid mechas equipped with quantum power and shields shooting at each other in the universe and fighting each other with ship-cutting knives will surely be spectacular, right?
"..."
(?￣?￣?) Hehe!
Thinking of that interesting scene, Anne couldn't help but secretly laugh proudly.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"awesome!"
"That……"
"Captain Anne, can we take a look at this new weapon?"
The three people looked at Annie's red Jean with round eyes. After a while, they first exchanged glances with each other, and then made a request without any reservation, as if they had already asked for it.
Does Gundam have a plan?
"visit?"
(゜-゜)
"Well..."
(?_?)ヾ
Anne thought that the other party wanted to enter the cockpit of her Jean, so she couldn't help but hesitate.
Although what the other party said was very nice and she was very respectful to her, the Head of State Anne, but even Uncle Gordon and the others had not let her play with or touch her toy, and now they came rushing to talk to her.
Just trying to coax her into agreeing by saying a few pleasant words is obviously not enough.
"sure!"
"However, currently we can only go to the environment simulation warehouse for a 100% real experience?"
Fortunately, first mate Kelly was nearby, so before Annie could refuse or agree, she hurried over and explained with a smile.
"As for more..."
"For example, detailed data, I'm afraid it will only be possible after you Ganis officially become a member of our Planetary Alliance?"
At the same time, she did not forget to emphasize that only by joining their "Star Alliance" can we get more implicit and explicit information, and she decided to add it as a condition to the negotiation.
"Is that so?"
"That's fine!"
"Then let's try it out through simulation first."
"When can you arrange it?"
Looking at each other, the three Ganisians had no intention of showing off, and immediately mentioned their request again impatiently, making it clear that the reason why they came here this time was most likely for
That Gundam is here.
"Not urgent!"
"Let me introduce you first?"
"I'm the Orville's first mate, Lieutenant Colonel Kelly Grayson!"
"This is our security officer, Major Tara Kaiyali of Hilaya, and this is our chief medical officer, Dr. Claire Finn."
"You just arrived today, why don't we take you to your room on the ship and have a good rest?"
First Officer Kelly will certainly not let the wishes of these Ganisians succeed easily. After all, that is one of the favorable conditions for them to coerce the other party to join the Planetary Alliance. Only if the other party's needs are not met can the negotiation continue.
Therefore, before she can get the result they want, of course she needs to handle the other person well.
"That's fine!"
"introduce."
"This is my first mate Cava and my lieutenant Hodel."
"correct."
"Our salutes are all on the shuttle boat..."
Seeing that the woman in front of him was difficult to deal with, the leading Ganisian Colonel Rosa didn't mind too much. He just introduced his two companions and looked at their shuttle boat parked aside.
"No problem!"
"The male servants on our ship will help you send the salute back."
Saying that, Kelly snapped her fingers arrogantly.
Then the next second, very unexpectedly, three guys in red low-level officer uniforms, Ed, Gordon and John, ran out of the cabin door quickly and stomped towards the Ganis.
The shuttle boat walked quickly.
"Well?"
"Are there any men on your ship?"
Regarding the appearance of Ed and others, the Ganisian Colonel Rosa seemed to be quite surprised, and then asked Kelly strangely.
"certainly!"
"There are indeed a large number of male sailors in our Planetary Alliance army, but for some reasons, their positions are generally not very high and they can only perform some menial physical work."
"Like now?"
Seeing Ed working in the Ganis shuttle boat and casting a resentful look towards the outside, Kelly could only pretend not to notice and said those words that were against her will and proud.
"That's right!"
(??▽?)?
"They are really stupid!"
o(*?^?*)o
"People think so too!"
(????-)?
Seeing the three people staggering out with a lot of salutes in their arms, Annie thought for a while and continued to add blows loudly to the side and said:
"The one with the white face and no beard among them was dumped by several aunts and sisters. He is the most pitiful!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o
"The one with the beard, he often does stupid things, such as accidentally losing his thighs, touching medical equipment causing a tail to grow, or simply eating randomly and having his stomach removed or something?"
(*?′?`?)
"As for the black-faced one, let alone that one. He is said to be the person with the highest IQ on the Orville, but he was almost brainless twice before by a group of backward primitive people!"
(*^▽^*)
In front of outsiders, Anne began to talk about some of the scandalous things about Uncle Ed, Uncle Gordon and Uncle John without any hesitation, and she didn't care at all about the fact that many of them were related to her.
"!
"
"Ouch!"
"ah!"
After hearing what Anne said, the three people who had staggered off the small spaceship because of too much luggage soon collided with each other and rolled into a ball.
"..."
"..."
"..."
And their funny looks naturally attracted the attention of the three Ganis representatives in an instant.
"I can tell!"
"Are they really stupid?"
Thinking about what Anne just said, and looking at the poor performance of the three men in front of her, Colonel Rosa nodded, seeming to really believe it.
"..."
(??ω??)
And seeing the appearance of the three of them, Anne certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity.
"Hey~!"
?(?)?
She suddenly had an idea, and under the strange gaze of first officer Kelly, she abandoned the three alien representatives and ran to Ed, Gordon and John, who had just helped each other to get up.
And he scolded and ordered:
"You three guys are so stupid!"
(????)
“Can’t even carry such a small amount of luggage?”
??(??￣?￣)????
"What are you looking at? Why don't you clean it up quickly?"
|???ω??)??
"If you don't use your hands and feet quickly, I'll punish you by not eating tonight!"
(*｀ー′)
"besides!"
(???)?
"Now I'm going to punish each of you with two lashes!
"
?(ψ｀╭╮′)o╭╯☆Pa!
You know, this is a rare opportunity, so Anne actually took out a whip and swung it skillfully, accurately hitting the three people's buttocks twice.
"ah!?"
"you!
"
"Mom!
"
Not only were they ordered around to carry the luggage, but they were also whipped twice for nothing. While Ed, Gordon and John all cried out in pain, they of course did not forget to glare at Anne with angry eyes.
"What are you looking at!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
"Why don't you get to work quickly?!"
(゜▽＾*)
Taking advantage of the opportunity to turn her back to the three aliens, Anne was so proud that she also smiled and hinted at the three people with winks, indicating that they had better not reveal their secrets at this time and do something easy.
The matter of cheating.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing this, the three people looked at each other first, and then seemed to think that it would not be good for the Ganis to be exposed just after they arrived?
So they had no choice but to endure it, and resentfully leaned over again to slowly pick up the fallen salutes.
"..."
"..."
"..."
And Anne's behavior obviously made the first mate Kelly, safety officer Tara and ship's doctor Claire tremble with fear, fearing that one of the three could not help but burst out and expose the situation in front of them.
everything.
"Everyone!"
"Shall we take you to your room to rest now?"
So, Kelly, who was very worried that Ed or Gordon and others would reveal their secrets, or didn't want to see Annie do more and more extreme things, thought about it, and hurriedly asked the three Ganisians for instructions.
.
"good!"
"Please lead the way!"
Fortunately, the Ganis people did not see the flaw and had no intention of staying here any longer. So, under the guidance of Kelly and others, everyone walked towards the lift platform exit of the hangar.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Seeing that the outsider was about to leave, Ed Gordon and John, of course, all stopped their salutes and stared at Anne with unkind expressions.
"laugh!
"
(?^▽^?)
"I just did it on purpose, are you angry?"
(゜▽＾*)
After first speaking in a low voice to the three of them and making their expressions even more exciting, Annie turned and shouted to the group of people:
"Hello!"
☆?(o*?ω?)?
"Wait a minute!"
-=????=?????(?)?
With that said, of course Anne would not give Ed and the other three any chance, she shouted loudly and hurriedly ran towards the hatch.
"..."
"Hello!"
"Ed!"
"I suddenly feel that your idea is stupid?"
"me too!"
"Those two whips just now were really deadly and painful..."
"What a mothership, that's a really stupid idea!"
When everyone left, the three of them immediately stopped saluting. At the same time, Gordon and John grinned and rubbed their buttocks where they had just been whipped twice without forgetting to look at Captain Ed.
He cast a complaining look.
"It sounds like I don't feel any pain at all!"
"Don't tell me, I feel a little regretful..."
"Does that seem like a really stupid idea?"
Ed also hurriedly rubbed his butt, and while baring his teeth and inhaling, he cast an annoyed look at the closed hatch.
"but!"
"Now that we've decided, we should at least hold on until they leave?"
"Let's go!"
"Bring them their gifts first!"
It could be seen that Ed indeed regretted it, but he had no other choice. After all, the bad idea was discussed by everyone and decided by him as the captain. No matter what, they had to grit their teeth and persevere, otherwise they would not be able to do what they just did.
Two lashes would be in vain.
"As for Annie, I'll settle the score with her another day!"
"affim!"
"right!"
"You must return those two whips no matter what!
"
"..."
"Hello!"
"Gordon!"
"Won't you help me carry some? You only have four boxes, and I have six boxes!"
"No!"
"I've got a lot of these, they're bigger than yours!"
"All right!"
"Hello!"
"John? Why are you only carrying three? Isn't this a bit too much?"
"This is just right!"
"Lieutenant Ed, you'd better find someone else!"
"As you know, I've been going to the infirmary a lot lately. Claire said I'm starting to get osteoporosis. Isn't it really appropriate for me to move too many heavy objects?"
"..."
Soon, as Anne and the envoys left, only Ed, Gordon and John were left on the elevator of the Orville's hangar, three guys staggering around carrying their luggage, and some people pretending to be around.
The female officers were busy but unwilling to come and help.
Now the Orville is a ship with a 'matriarchal society' that is almost the same as those of the Ganis. Therefore, those female officers and female crew members will only do some decent, important and easy work, and not carry luggage and so on.
Yes, that obviously can only be done by despicable 'second-class crew members', that is, only men need to do it.
