Shepard, Miranda, Galas, Jacob, Caden and others, as well as other important Normandy II crew members, gathered in this not-too-large laboratory. They formed a large circle. Except for not affecting Dr. Modin's actions, dozens of people stood up directly, and almost everything that could come came, ready to witness this historic moment!
Those who need to stick to their posts are also staring at the holographic images of the laboratory in different places on the spacecraft, always paying attention to what is about to happen here.
Of course, little Annie, who likes to join in the fun, must have come too!
However, she was not crowded with those guys, and had a good relationship with Dr. Moding, and she was also loved by the crooked star. She just lay in the doctor's rotating chair with a very elegant look, holding her little bear and watching the uncle Moding's troublesome things.
In fact, as long as they come to ask her Queen Anne, she can solve the problem of interrogating prisoners like this with a wave of her hand, so there is no need to be troublesome!
"It should be almost done. Commander Shepard, I will report some things to you first..."
"I had compared these collectors with the DNA structures of all the currently known races in the Milky Way last night, and then I found that they were indeed the Prosodians who left various relics, beacons and wisdom to the various races of our Milky Way!"
“I’m pretty sure about this!”
Having said this, Modin glanced at the crew and Marines around him, thought for a while, and then continued to say:
"So, if they were really destroyed by the Reaper..."
"Sorry then! Commander, I'm more pessimistic about whether we can crush the Reapers' plot or stop them from invading the Milky Way..."
He has been thinking about this matter for a long time since the result of last night.
In the view of Dr. Serrari, since the Prolo Immortals who were as powerful as the previous era, they were defeated by the Reapers and transformed into thugs, what hope do they have for the various tribes of the Milky Way God Castle that developed with the blessings of the Prolo Immortals? You must know that the Milky Way territory that the Divine Immortals has explored is only three percent of the total, and it must be far from reaching the heyday of the Prolo Immortals back then. If the Prolo Immortals really led to the extinction of races and the collapse of civilization because of the Reapers' harvest, then this matter would be really terrible.
Of course, although the collector is the Prosol Immortal now, it is confirmed that it is true that whether the collector and the harvester have anything to do, then I believe that the most critical first-hand evidence will be obtained soon.
Because their Commander Shepard and others seized a leader of the collector, and the information obtained from the other party's mind must be very valuable and credible!
"I myself can be sure that these collectors are the subordinates of the Reapers, and I firmly believe that the Reapers exist, and even understand their horrors more than all of you!"
"But, no matter what, I won't compromise because they are strong, I will keep fighting hard, just like we've always done before!"
"So, Dr. Modin, please start!"
Shepard had long said that the Reaper existed, but no one believed her very much. Those who were willing to believe her had no ability to change anything... Therefore, she wasted a lot of time on finding the so-called "evidence" and watched the threat of the Reaper approaching and helplessly...
But now it's different, she will soon get the most direct evidence. If even this cannot convince some guys, then she will really have no choice...
They have really done their best to do everything to the extreme! Her heroic name is earned by the hard work of countless classmates. The efforts they put in are not as simple as those promoted by the outside world!
Over the years, many of her fellow-fighters have fallen on the way to fight Saren, against Jies and the overlord... Even in the "Horizon" colony, they have sacrificed several Marine members... Fortunately, they have won a great victory in this mission!
Not only did they shoot down the enemy's spacecraft, but they also captured many still "living" collector captives. This really cannot be expected to be better than they do now.
"I can't wait now!"
Standing directly to the instrument the doctor was fiddling with, Shepard raised his hand and signaled Dr. Modin to start now.
"All right!"
"I'm now starting to stimulate and activate part of the brain and nerves of the collector leader, putting it in a low-frequency state like a dream... and then project his consciousness into this holographic device, which will affect its judgment and thinking, and then you can have normal conversations with him, basically...what do you ask, what will it answer?"
"But, you have to be quicker!"
"I can't guarantee how long this state can last... I believe you know that the strength of this collector is too strong. Whether it is physical strength, mental power, or other superpowers, etc., it is a very high value, completely beyond our imagination!"
"I think you'd better not spend more than ten minutes?"
Dr. Modin, a Serrari man, was operating the instrument he had fiddled with for the night, while carefully reminding Shepard in the laboratory.
Even after a busy night, he didn't feel sleepy, because... they are an amphibious warm-blooded creature with extremely active metabolism. While their extremely high metabolism makes their lifespan only about forty years, they also make their race often only need to sleep for an hour a day to ensure abundant physical strength and vigorous energy!
In this way, the time they were awake by the Serrari tribe seemed to be a little longer than that of humans?
Therefore, the people on earth laughed at the short life of the Serarui, which is actually very undesirable. The time when Serarui was awake was not shorter than that of the people on earth who had to rest for at least about eight hours a day! Therefore, although he was busy last night, Dr. Modin quickly recovered because he had an hour off in the morning and devoted himself to this important experiment today.
"Are you ready? I'm about to start!"
After manipulating on the holographic workbench for a while, Modin raised one of his fingers and turned the front of the start button. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and asked again.
"Please believe me, it won't take that long!"
It was just a few key issues, so Shepard impatiently urged the Serrari, who had become a little slower after entering old age, to start quickly.
“…”
Nodding, Dr. Modin said nothing more. He checked his device on the holographic display again. After finding that there was no abnormality in the feedback signal, he took a deep breath and pressed a button representing the beginning.
Dou! Dou!
A signal light began to flash and lit up. Soon, in front of an instrument in front of Shepard, a holographic image of a monster exactly like the leader of the collector who was imprisoned in the frozen medical cabin was projected.
‘δζζσπ,θkλγ…’
As soon as the holographic image of the collector leader appeared, he turned around in confusion and looked around, and then asked Shepard, who was standing in front of it.
"Eti, translate my conversation with it in real time!"
With a slightly frown, Shepard issued an order to the artificial intelligence edi of Normandy No. 2.
‘As for orders, Commander Shepard!’
‘δζζσπ,θkλγ…’
‘Who are you?’
"It doesn't matter who we are. Now, please tell me who you are, where you are, and why should we arrest us humans?!"
Shepard took two steps forward, almost walking to the general collector in a daze, and asked the two pairs of brilliant white eyes staring at the other party's holographic image.
‘I am the general of the collector…’
‘We are from the galaxy core opposite the Omega Four repeater…’
‘Catching humans…is to build a huge human form of harvester…’
"It's indeed a harvester!"
"Now, please tell me your relationship with the Prosol, and your relationship with the Reaper!"
Sure enough, after hearing the information he wanted to hear in the content translated by edi in real time, Shepard stretched out his hand and signaled everyone in the laboratory to keep quiet. Then he took a deep breath again and asked loudly!
She believed that now, whether it was herself, the universal tools of other crew members present, or the equipment of Normandy II, were recording everything that was happening now! Moreover, it was the ironclad evidence that they were about to submit to the cases of various tribes in the God Castle!
'us……'
‘It’s Prosol…’
‘We failed in the battle with the Reapers, they transformed us and gave us a mission…’
‘Wait…strange…what’s wrong?’
After saying this, less than two minutes later, the holographic image of the collector general began to fluctuate somewhat unstable. Obviously, it seemed that it was sensing something was wrong.
"Commander Shepard, my calculations are wrong!"
"Its brain thinking and neurons suddenly became active, and looking at the data, it's amazing... So, Commander, you better be quicker, this guy is too strong, it's trying to get rid of the dream I've imposed on it?"
Seeing that things had changed, Modin quickly started operating on his instrument.
This situation was really beyond his expectations. He originally thought that he could control the other party for at least ten minutes, and those ten minutes were just his conservative statement, but he did not expect that the other party would tend to break free from his control in less than two minutes?
“What is the mission?!”
With a stern look, Shepard stared at the other party's eyes with a sharp look, and spoke again and asked sternly in a somewhat rapid tone.
‘Previous investigation and assessment of the various ethnic groups in the Milky Way…’
‘Prepare for harvest once every 50,000 years…’
With the efforts of Dr. Modin, the holographic image of the collector General became stable again.
"Commander, please hurry up!!"
While working hard to operate this, Dr. Serrari, Modin, who has always given people a sense of being slow and anxious, even while quickly typing the holographic buttons, he anxiously warned Shepard. It was obvious that he seemed to be unable to control the other party.
"Where are the Reapers? When do they harvest the Milky Way, and where do they come from, how many of them are, and what are the Reapers?!"
Knowing the nature of things, Shepard dared not delay any more and asked the most important questions directly! As long as they know these, they can know what they should do next, or let the various ethnic groups of the Milky Way know how to guard against those harvesters!
‘The dark universe outside the galaxy…’
‘Well…who are you?’
"Answer my question right now!!"
Shepard ignored the other party's questions and shouted fiercely again.
‘Harvest…harvest has begun…’
‘The God Castle Space Station cannot control… Reapers, they will be from Batala A mass repeater…’
‘The Reaper…infinite…’
‘They are an advanced mechanical life race created by Leviathan…the source of the nightmare that brings to the Milky Way every 50,000 years…their harvest lasted for hundreds of millions of years…’
‘Hmm…?’
‘No! You primitive races don’t want to control me!!!’
At this time, the collector's holographic image began to tremble violently, and the data on the holographic screen in front of Dr. Modin also appeared red alarm modules!
"It doesn't matter, we've got everything we want to know!"
After getting the most critical questions, Shepard sneered at the hideous collector monster. It was too late for the other party to break free from control. She had already obtained everything she wanted to know!
'Hahaha……'
‘Silly humans! What you do now will only speed up your demise!’
‘My failure has increased your threat level…The harvest has officially begun…they have come…’
After almost laughing, the holographic image of General Collector suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the holographic screen in front of Modin was full of red alarm signals. Now, the other party has completely lost control.
"What's going on?!"
Seeing this change, Shepard quickly turned his head to look at Dr. Modin.
However, without waiting for the other party to check the equipment or answer, the frozen dormant slept with the collector General suddenly exploded, and then the collector General, who had only a few tentacles, broke free from the equipment that bound it, jumped out of it and flew under the not-too-high ceiling of the cabin.
“aaagh!!”
As a roar sounded, the other party's four pale eyes suddenly lit up a bright blue and white light!
"Kill it! No!!"
"Uhhhh!"
"My head!!!"
"quick…"
However, Shepard and other Marines who were present took out their weapons and opened the insurance and loaded the fire. They, including Shepard, squatted down with their heads in their arms!
Woo~! Woo~! Woo~! Woo~!
At the same time, sharp alarm sounded throughout the Normandy II, and red alarm lights were flashing wildly. Without Shepard's order, edi issued a dangerous alarm to the others on the ship.
Obviously, the General of the Collector launched a mental attack on everyone in this laboratory. Even if it could not directly control Shepard and others, it should be more than enough to launch high-frequency brain waves torture or burn off the brains of those creatures that are lower primitive races compared to them Prosol!
Bang!!
With a gunshot, the collector general flew into the low air, and the head of a collector, who was just a little distance from the ceiling, was instantly penetrated a hole as big as a fist...
Bang!
No one can survive after his brain is opened, even General Collective! Therefore, it could only fall in a lab in Normandy No. 2.
"call……"
"Good job, Anne!"
After standing up with a split-headed head, Shepard didn't bother to ask why the little guy was not affected by the enemy's mental ability attack. Instead, he took a hard look at the collector monster who was lying on the metal deck and could no longer die, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and praised the little girl.
They were saved by a little guy again. If the other party hadn't fired in time, things would have been very bad.
"You're welcome!"
Throwing the weapons in his hand aside from someone else's body, Annie didn't care about the idiots who were squatting or lying on the deck holding his head and wailing, she ran directly to the fallen collector general, and kicked the other person in the head with her own feet, as if she wanted to confirm whether the other person was dead?
Actually, this monster has a very powerful mental attack. If she hadn't been here, I'm afraid these unlucky guys would have been done!
‘Commander Shepard!’
‘I just detected that an unknown strong bio-radio wave was fired out by the collector general!’
Before Shepard and others could breathe a sigh of relief, Normandy 2 artificial intelligence edi reported to Shepard at the same time when the alarm that had just echoed the entire ship.
"Damn it!"
"It must be sent to the harvester or to the collector! Hurry up, clown, find the nearest repeater, we are going to go back to the Castle immediately!"
‘Abide by the order! Commander!’
With Shepard's order, the voice of the helmsman clown came from a broadcasting equipment in the laboratory. However, judging from the other party's tone, they must have been shocked by the incident just now.
"No!"
"We don't go to the god castle, we go to the Bahaq galaxy as fast as possible!!"
Shepard, who seemed to think of something, changed his orders again without waiting for the clown to execute it.
That's right, she was going to the place where the Batala A-quality repeater was located, and first tried to destroy the repeater and block the reaper's pace of attacking the Milky Way! Just now, when the collector general tried to control her, she also saw many terrible things in the other party's mind, including those reapers!
"Good idea, Shepard!"
"But, I'm going to report to my superiors now, you can do whatever is going on here!"
At this time, Miranda, who had obviously discovered something terrible from the collector's mind just now, didn't care about her condition and staggered to cover her head and walked quickly outside the laboratory. She needed to report what she knew and the intelligence she had just obtained, to the Phantom Man, the leader of Cerberus, as soon as possible!
"Tsk! It's so boring!"
"They reapers have been doing one thing for hundreds of millions of years, they are really amazing..."
"If it were me, I wouldn't have to wait 50,000 years, and I wouldn't be able to stand it anymore! But they can last for so long... They don't want to eat delicious food or play fun on their own, but they just have to care whether the Milky Way will be dominated by mechanical life. There must be something wrong with their brains!"
After mentioning the big head of the collector General hanging on the deck again, Anne curled her lips disdainfully.
Sure enough, no matter what world, there are always some strange guys, such as those harvesters and their leaders, who must be crazy? What's the point of harvesting higher organic races and doing such thankless things?
Chapter completed!
