Captain Ed, Kelly and others had been entangled with Second Officer Petrus and others for a long time after they had destroyed the asteroid and saved a certain planet. And then, they even had to fight for it. They gathered a Moklan warship and headed to the planet Moklus and stopped in the orbit of the planet. It seemed that they were preparing to file a lawsuit with the Moklan over that matter?
Anne didn't pay attention to the specific situation, nor did she follow along.
Because, that Uncle Ed actually did what he said. When he arrived on the planet of Mokles, he downloaded and purchased a large collection of classic holographic simulation games through the quantum network covered by the Planetary Alliance on Mokles. Come back, and there are many of them that Anne is very interested in looking at.
So, for many days in a row, Annie was immersed in the entertainment room, missing all day, and no longer cared about the progress of the matter that Ed, Kelly and others were busy and arguing about.
And as helmsman Gordon once said, members on the ship, from the captain to the ordinary crew members, often only have a rest period of one to a few hours a week when sailing, and there is no rest time. There is so much leisure time for entertainment, but Annie is different. She has twenty-four hours of rest time every day, so she can play as long as she likes, and play as much as she likes, without having to worry about other people's opinions. Or feelings.
Then……
Until one day, when the idiot Uncle Ed, Aunt Kelly, Second Officer Bertus, Helmsman Gordon, Ship's Doctor Aunt Claire and the Alora lady finally returned to Orville together after disappearing for several days. When they boarded the ship and set sail again to leave the planet Mocles, Annie realized that it seemed that she had accidentally missed something interesting?
"??"
(**;)
"Uncle Ed, what happened?"
(.)
"Why do you look so unhappy all of you?"
(°ー°〃)
The day after the spacecraft resumed sailing, Annie strolled to the bridge and asked the idiot Uncle Ed who was sitting in the captain's seat absentmindedly directing the crew to prepare for work.
"Why are you all wilted and looking pitiful when you come back?"
く(＾_)ゝ
"Yes or no……"
(゜-゜)
"Being bullied on that dirty planet?"
(へ╬)
If that's the case, Annie said that since the other party found so many fun classic games for her, she might be able to find a way to vent her anger on them?
Of course, if it's too much trouble, forget it. She just asked casually and had no other meaning.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Bully?"
"That's not true!"
First, after looking at each other with his ex-wife, first mate Kelly, who was also looking a little unmotivated, Ed thought that he was idle now, and that Ed, who had no other important tasks besides wandering around and drawing star maps, didn't care. He continued slowly:
"Annie..."
"Here's the thing."
"us……"
“We failed in our lawsuit!”
"Ultimately, Petrus and Kelden's newly hatched little daughter, of course, should be a son now?"
"Those guys finally sentenced her to undergo surgery."
"You really should have come with us then. Maybe you could be of some help?"
Ed sat in his seat dully and suddenly sighed with some confusion, as if he was still regretting something.
"help?"
(.)
"Do you want to..."
(°ー°〃)
"Let people blow up the Moklan planet like they did with the Kalevens, and then force the Moklan people to surrender?"
()
After listening, Annie first looked at Aunt Kelly who was also in low spirits, and then suddenly asked with her eyes shining.
If Uncle Ed in front of her agrees, then of course she won't mind making another trip and setting off one or two big firecrackers. Although, the last time, the Kaliwen people surrendered and the firecrackers she set off had absolutely nothing to do with it. connect?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"?!"
Hearing this, Kelly on the side was startled and almost slipped from the first mate's position.
"No!"
"don't want!"
"Annie, we don't want to at all!"
While she exclaimed and stopped, she also did not forget to glare angrily at Ed, who was not opening the pot and picking up which pot, and signaled Annie and Ed not to talk about that matter anymore.
After all, that has passed, and she has indeed tried her best. Now that everything has happened, there is no need to discuss it anymore.
"All right!"
"I take back what I just said, maybe you really shouldn't go!"
Ed slumped his shoulders helplessly and changed his mind again.
"oh……"
(ˇεˇ)
Pursing her lips, Annie thought for a moment before continuing to ask casually:
"If that's the case, isn't the medical technology on the spacecraft very advanced now?"
(ー`ー)
"In the worst case, can't we just change back again?"
(︵`)
Of course Anne had heard about the little Moklan girl who crawled out of the egg, but she didn't think it was anything. After all, the medical treatment in this world was already very advanced, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
"It's not that simple. Although it is indeed possible, but..."
"never mind!"
"It's better not to talk about that."
After a pause, Ed, who didn't know how to explain, waved his hands and sighed with a bitter smile:
"I've also taken a hard look at myself."
"Maybe……"
“We really can’t apply our own values to others?”
"Every person and every race has different ideas, habits and beliefs."
"Some things may seem wrong to us, but others may not necessarily think so."
"If nothing else, just like us people on Earth, over the past few hundred years, even if the Earth has been unified into a unified government, some people still celebrate the Spring Festival, some celebrate Christmas, and some celebrate Eid al-Fitr?"
"So, Annie, you..."
After saying that, Ed was about to say something more.
"??"
However, he saw that the naughty little girl who seemed to be very interested in his topic just now had run over to the helmsman Gordon and was arguing with Gordon about something. He didn't even listen carefully to what he said.
"hateful!"
"That brat!!"
Seeing this, seeing that his sentiments were not taken seriously, or even not even listened to, Ed couldn't help but feel a little angry and angry.
"Ed!"
"okay."
"Don't let a kid like Annie get involved in that kind of thing."
"Say less!"
After patting Ed's shoulder affectionately, Kelly persuaded him with a smile.
Although the lawsuit they fought on the planet Moklos did fail in the end, at least they succeeded in creating a huge topic among the Moklan race. What can it develop in the future? To change some of the misconceptions of that stubborn single-sex race, it depends on the fate of the Moklan people themselves. Outsiders like them really cannot do more, otherwise it will easily cause diplomatic turmoil.
However, it was not that they had gained nothing from this lawsuit. At least, after this incident, the rift between her and Ed due to the rift in the Calivian Zoo was finally repaired. Maybe that's an unexpected surprise.
At least in Kelly's opinion, the two people's values are still consistent when it comes to certain things. It seems that she and Ed have not completely reached the point of no return?
"Everyone, please pay attention."
"Let's continue mapping the stars!"
"Our Orville is currently at the outermost edge of the Planet Alliance's activity area. Surveying and mapping is what our exploration ship should do!"
Then, Kelly, who didn't know why she suddenly felt happy, started yelling at the distracted crew members on the bridge.
Their Orville was originally a medium-sized exploration ship, and its main purpose was to explore the border airspace of the Planetary Alliance and draw new star maps. As for the previous Kallivan incident, the Maklan lawsuit, and the rescue of the asteroid, Planets and so on are not what they should do.
"clear!"
"As you command!"
"Okay, sir!"
Everyone responded and began to nervously carry out the various tasks required for mapping, recording, analyzing and calculating orbits, etc. to draw star maps.
"..."
"Nothing is more annoying than mapping the stars."
“Looking at these data gives me a headache!”
"We also have to observe the trajectory of the planet and the various asteroid belts. A new galaxy will take at least half a month or even longer. It is really torturous."
"It's a boring job..."
However, the helmsman Gordon, who only liked sailing and taking risks, complained instead, as if he had no enthusiasm at all for the boring work of drawing star maps.
"??"
"stop!!"
"Hello!"
"Little Annie!"
"Can you please stop making trouble for me?"
"I've worked hard!"
However, what made Gordon, who was already somewhat negative, feel even more desperate was that there was actually a troublesome little girl next to him who was causing trouble for him. From time to time, the girl reached out and scratched randomly on his workbench, trying to make changes. His data has increased his workload several times for nothing.
"Go! Go! Go!"
"Find someone else!"
"Alola will welcome you!"
So, he wanted to instigate Annie to go aside and cause trouble for Alola.
"They are not causing trouble!"
()
"Aren't they helping?"
(ˇεˇ)
Annie did not leave, but stared back with some dissatisfaction.
Because she discovered that Gordon had just entered the wrong data on the orbit of a planet, causing the planet's actual orbit to deviate by about one billionth from the drawn orbit. When she arrived on that planet, she was obviously helping to correct mistakes, but where was she causing trouble?
"don't want!"
"Stop!"
Unfortunately, Gordon didn't buy it.
He just hurriedly stopped it, and soon the chaos spread to John and Alora on the side, so that when the second officer Petrus came to the bridge and what Captain Ed said to the other party, it was unclear. I couldn't care less and listened.
In this way, everyone in the bridge was busy with their own work while dealing with Annie.
I don’t know how long it took...
"captain!"
"I found a huge artificial object on the port side, about half a million kilometers away from the Orville."
Just then, the robot Isaac spoke.
It seemed to have discovered something interesting during the mapping process, and then, after confirming that it was correct, it hurriedly reported it to Captain Ed who was whispering something to Kelly.
"!!"
"Report!"
"I noticed that too."
"What the hell!"
"Annie, I asked you not to touch my console!"
"do not move!"
"I know how to do it!"
Helmsman Ed also discovered it. However, he was so angry that he finally pushed Annie to Alola. After there was no interference and damage, he finally had time to put something he found into Orville. On the huge porthole of the number.
But because the distance was too far and there was no suitable light source in space, the Orville's radar could not see it very clearly. It only roughly projected the opponent's size and outline on the porthole.
"what is that?"
(°ー°〃)
"A ship..."
(^～^;)ゞ
"Battleship?!"
(c)
Looking at the displayed shape of the 'artificial object', Anne couldn't help but feel a little strange.
She was now full and had nothing to do, so no matter what she found, she was very interested in joining in the fun.
"wrong!"
"There is no such big warship, and I have never heard of any race building such a big warship!"
"Even if it's a cargo ship, it shouldn't be that big!"
After frowning for a while, Ed shook his head and denied Annie's groundless speculation.
"That shape..."
"It is definitely a man-made object!"
"Will it be a space station?"
"But I can't match a space station with a similar style to any race!"
"We don't have any records around here in the Star Alliance!"
After pushing Annie aside to prevent Annie from tampering with her console, Alora quickly started operating and analyzing. Soon, she got the answer she wanted and reported it in surprise.
"okay!"
"No matter what it is, it's only half a million kilometers away. Can't we find out by flying there and taking a look?"
"Let's go!"
"This is one of the missions of our exploration ship Orville!"
Seeing that none of the crew members had a reasonable explanation, Ed simply stopped making random guesses. Instead, he operated next to his captain's chair, sent an action log to the Planetary Alliance, and then ordered helmsman Ge. He turned around and let the Orville fly directly towards the place hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, ready to get closer to see what the hell it was.
"clear!"
"The Orville departs!"
"Start accelerating!"
Without Annie causing trouble on the side, Gordon's movements seemed much more agile, so that he quickly completed the turn and began to speed towards the destination at a sub-light speed.
…
In less than two minutes, after slow acceleration and slow deceleration, the Orville successfully arrived not far from the target object, and quickly used various collapse instruments on the ship to scan and surround the huge object that lay in front of the Orville. An artificial celestial body shaped like a steel space fortress!
"this!"
"God damn it!"
"What the hell is that?"
"Battleship?"
After seeing the appearance of that thing clearly, helmsman Gordon once again exclaimed.
"Such a big battleship?"
"Who is crazy enough to build such a big warship and use it as a target?"
After seeing it clearly, Captain Ed, who was as well-informed as he was, couldn't help but stand up from his position and denied Gordon's words with exclamations.
"who knows?"
"Maybe it's really a space station?"
Kelly was also surprised by this and expressed her first judgment.
but……
Different from ordinary space stations, the huge thing in front of me that looks like a battleship but also looks like a space station is completely silent outside!
Not only did it have very few lights, but there was no movement from the engine. It even showed no reaction to the arrival of the Orville, just letting them approach and scan around it.
At the same time, what shocked everyone even more was: the advanced scanning equipment carried on the Orville, the kind of advanced equipment specially designed to explore the stars and the universe, was actually unable to penetrate its thick shell?
then!
After some discussion and research, it was discovered that it was at least two to three thousand years old, and that the engine had lost power and was currently falling towards a star. Everyone who could not come to a conclusion decided to send a landing force. Land on the 'artificial celestial body' that is not known to be a giant battleship or a space station, and try to dock it to find out.
"Going to play up there?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"Very good!"
(^o^)
"People are going too!!"
*. (ˊ▽ˋ*)*.
When Anne heard that she was going on an adventure, of course she didn't even think about it. She just cheered and said that she wanted to occupy a spot and she would never miss out on such a good thing.
"Fine!"
"Count you in too!"
Ed originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Annie's fighting ability, he quickly compromised and did not say the word of refusal.
In Ed's opinion, with a powerful living treasure by his side, after boarding that strange big thing that seems to have been abandoned for countless years, at least everyone's safety can be more guaranteed?
"Pertus!"
"Then the Orville will be under your command!"
"By the way, let our chief medical officer Claire go to the shuttle lift platform to meet us!"
"Kelly!"
"Alola!"
"And Isaac, let's go!"
Then, without further ado, Ed quickly issued an order and named a few landing personnel before quickly leaving the cockpit, preparing to land on the weird huge battleship himself.
"Set off!!"
-
==()
Of course, Anne was the first to run out impatiently, and even ran at the front of the team, looking impatient.
