Three hours later, the robot Isaac finally repaired the shuttle boat on time.
So, a bad little girl who had finished her carnival with a group of alien "primitives" and basically had enough to eat and drink, finally, together with the frightened helmsman Gordon, were gravitated by the invisible shuttle boat. The beam was sucked high into the sky, entered the cabin, disappeared, and then returned to the Orville in orbit.
As for that troubled little girl who fell from the sky in a beam of light, had unauthorized long-term contact with the "primitive people" of the local Bronze Age civilization, and then disappeared in a beam of light, what will happen on this planet? What kind of impact it will have is currently unknown.
Not long after Annie, Gordon and Isaac returned, the robot Isaac and John and others from the engineering team began intensive research on the strange planet that suddenly appeared in order to verify that Annie had been on the shuttle boat. Some things said.
As for the specific research results, it is still unknown at present.
Anyway, in the evening, after Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly finally recovered from the all-night drinking and learned the whole story, they no longer cared about anything else, but had to first Time made contact with a female fleet commander of the Planetary Alliance who was in charge of alien negotiations.
"ha!"
"Well done!"
"Captain Ed, I don't understand, why didn't you report it immediately?"
"okay!"
"Don't explain it, I know the reason, so let me tell you!"
In the communication screen, the female commander in purple coat said with an angry smile. Then seeing that Ed seemed to want to say something, she quickly reached out to tell him to shut up, and then clicked on a document. And he read it like a script:
"Yes, I have just read your logbook. This is what it describes..."
"have a look!"
"Captain Ed and First Mate Kelly drank together all night and were unable to perform their duties the next day?"
"this……"
"It really refreshed my perspective!"
"Then...you had no choice but to let that little girl serve as the temporary captain and take over the command. Am I right?"
"Then, what none of you expected was..."
"When you had to take a break due to alcoholism, she went to a primitive planet that suddenly appeared without permission, and interfered with a primitive civilization from another universe?"
"The contact lasted for four hours?"
"very nice!"
"Captain Ed, tell me, how do you want me to punish you two?"
"Should I be given a serious demerit, or should I be dismissed directly?"
Having said this, the purple-clad fleet commander sneered and looked at Ed and the man who was standing next to Ed awkwardly a little later. At this time, he didn't even bother to eat dinner, so that his lips were a little white. First Mate Kelly.
"Maybe……"
"But no punishment?"
"I mean!"
"At least we have discovered the fact that there are indeed different planes in the universe and that different planes can intersect and be connected. Can we make up for it?"
"not to mention……"
"Anne is the head of a big country. She also comes from another universe. In a sense, she can move freely, but she is not under our control."
"Besides, there's nothing we can do to stop her, and you know that!"
"Commander Tucker was very angry with her last time, have you forgotten?"
Glancing at the first mate Kelly next to him, Ed only hesitated for a short while, and then he had to hurriedly organize his words and started to quibble, and placed his hope on some bad little girl who likes to do whatever he wants. Their identity allows them to escape today's disaster.
"That's right!"
"Ed is right!"
"commander……"
"I very much agree with this!"
After Ed dared to speak, Kelly next to him hurriedly stepped forward to echo, saying that a certain little girl was really not under their control, and they couldn't control it even if they wanted to.
"Maybe you are right too!"
"Oh well!"
"I can leave aside the issue of accountability. The little girl's problem is indeed quite difficult and thorny."
"I don't have the authority to deal with her anyway."
Hearing Ed and Kelly mention the little girl that the Planet Alliance Command loved, hated, feared and couldn't afford to offend, the woman in the communication screen couldn't help but have a headache and sighed slightly, and then the stern The scary face finally became much better.
"but!"
Then, before Ed could say anything, the woman suddenly changed the topic and brought the topic to the planet that would appear mysteriously.
"Ed."
"You must remain in orbit for seventy-two hours and conduct necessary investigations and scans."
"We have to figure out how that planet appeared, and we also have to figure out whether it really comes from another parallel universe!"
"The matter of that planet has now been listed as the Orville's top priority!"
"If necessary, we will send a research ship to replace you later."
"That's important!"
If that planet is really from another parallel universe as reported by the Orville, then there is no doubt that there is some connection between the hypothesis of parallel universes and the two parallel universes. and the possibility of interoperability will be thoroughly confirmed!
By then, the true identity of that bad little girl Annie will also be confirmed to a certain extent, so both she and the Planetary Alliance Command take this very seriously.
"!!"
"clear!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, Commander!"
Ed and Kelly were excited after seeing that the other party really didn't want to find out about the drunkenness and the Planetary Alliance Command was also very interested in their discovery and did not intend to hold them accountable. The ground responded loudly and said.
"okay."
"Don't rush to be happy yet!"
"If the results of your investigation are not satisfactory to the headquarters, we will reserve the decision to severely punish you for the stupid mistakes you made!"
"When the time comes, I'm afraid what awaits you will not be as simple as dismissal and investigation."
"besides!"
"Please don't drink too much while cruising again. There will be no next time."
"complete!"
At this point, the woman didn't give Ed and Kelly a chance to speak. She glared at them one last time as if to show off her power, and then hurriedly closed the communication.
"..."
"..."
Seeing that the communication interface was blocked, Ed, who had escaped, first looked at each other with lingering fear at Kelly, then relaxed and said:
"Let's go!"
"Shall we go to the bridge and have a look?"
After being frightened like this one after another, Ed felt a little energetic, so he planned to go to the bridge now and take control of the situation.
"But……"
"Isn't our vacation over yet?"
"It's only been twelve hours, right?"
Kelly looked a little hesitant and asked awkwardly.
Now there is Second Officer Petrus on the bridge watching. Anne and Gordon have also returned. They should not cause any more trouble. In addition, they can't help much with the investigation of the planet. Therefore, compared with Before going to the bridge, she preferred to go to the cafeteria to eat something first, and if possible, maybe she could come back to take a shower and have a cup of coffee or something.
"Report!"
At this time, the channel that had just been closed
The messaging interface lit up again.
"Captain Ed!"
"And First Mate Kelly!"
"I think it would be best for you to come to the bridge immediately?"
Then, the voice of the second officer Petrus in the picture sounded, and it seemed to sound a bit serious. Although Petrus' words had always been serious, Ed and Kelly could see that this It seems like something is really different this time?
"immediately?"
"what happens?"
"Isn't it Anne who went to cause trouble again?"
"Oh my God, she must have gone to play on that planet again, right?"
"Didn't you just come back?"
Ed and the shocked Kelly looked at each other, then blurted out questions with wide eyes.
"not at all!"
"Anne should be sleeping in her room now. She won't be seen again within the next twelve hours."
"The problem now is..."
"That planet, it disappeared!"
Petrus did not hesitate and simply explained the main reason why he suddenly contacted the two of them at this time and asked them to go to the bridge immediately.
"??"
"W-what?"
"The planet disappeared?"
"What do you mean disappeared?"
Hearing this, Ed and Kelly couldn't help but subconsciously glance at each other again, and then, after a while, they all got excited and looked at the communication interface inexplicably.
"Disappearing means literally, that planet has disappeared again."
"Anyway!"
"Please come to the bridge as soon as possible."
"Issac said that he has a conjecture. He thinks you need to go and listen to it yourself, if you have already rested?"
"complete!"
After saying that, the second officer Petrus closed the communication regardless of the very exciting expressions on their faces.
"..."
"Let's go!"
"Hopefully it won't be any worse news!"
"Um."
"hope so!"
…
A few minutes later, the ugly-faced Captain Ed and First Officer Kelly both came to the bridge and learned what was going on through the Orville's replay of the real-time video.
"All right!"
"I know why my second officer was so nervous just now."
"Say it!"
"Isaac, what is your theory?"
"Please try to explain it in a way that we can understand!"
Such a big planet that is about the same size as the Earth suddenly appeared without any warning and then disappeared about twenty hours later. That kind of thing is indeed weird and outrageous. Therefore, Captain Ed urgently asked I want to know the specific reason.
After all, he and Kelly had just communicated with the unreasonable commander, and the other party had made it clear that the Orville must investigate the truth of the matter. If not, he might really do it in the future. About to be sent to some colony to clean toilets.
"certainly."
"Captain Ed, it's like this. According to what Anne said before, I also believe after analysis: the planet we encountered is a planet locked in a "multi-phase orbit." "
The robot Isaac stood up immediately and explained. Then, it saw that both Ed and Kelly were confused and seemed not to understand at all, so it had to continue to explain:
"The so-called "polyphase orbit" is a wonderful phenomenon in which a planet orbits a star, but its orbit is divided into two parallel universes. "
"What's interesting is that our universe and another parallel universe have the same or very similar two stars in size, which just allows the planet to maintain a relatively stable environment. This
It is also the prerequisite for it to become a living planet. "
"Then, under the rules of the universe at certain locations, when it rotates around the star to a specific angle, because the two universes have folded spaces or passages that we don't know about, it suddenly appears in our universe. And orbited the "polyphase" star, and then returned to its own universe after reaching a certain angle. "
"This is the real reason why it appears and disappears suddenly, and why we can detect abnormal gravity and abnormal space data only during certain periods of time."
"And what Anne said before is this..."
"People have known for a long time that this planet is about to emerge. It is a planet outside another parallel time and space. It has an intersection with your time and space universe. It is the area you just detected. Now it is passing by. So it just popped up!"
With that said, the robot Isaac also very appropriately recalled and played on the spot the original words of a troubled little girl when their shuttle was preparing to make an emergency landing, and directly reproduced the cute tone of Anne's words at that time. and voice are fully demonstrated. .
"Oh I see!"
"That is to say..."
"The situation of your scan and investigation is basically consistent with what Anne said at the time?"
"That planet has now gone to the other side."
"right?"
Ed felt that Annie's statement was easier to understand, so he first glanced at everyone in the bridge and found that no one had any objection to it before he asked in a deep voice.
"Yes."
"But that is just a speculation we have made based on the current data, and it needs to be verified again."
"That is."
"We have to wait until it shows up again."
"Until it reappears in our side of the universe, we can finally get all the complete data and determine the validity of that inference."
Isaac nodded and stated bluntly the dilemma their investigation now faced.
"Is that so?"
"That……"
"How long do I need to wait?"
"I mean, how long will it take for it to show up again?"
Ed, who rubbed his chin and slowly sat down in his captain's seat, quickly grasped the point of the question and looked at Isaac again.
Although this discovery is very important, and the commander-in-chief has emphasized it many times in communications, Ed feels that if the waiting time is too long, for example, it will take months, years, or decades. , then there is no point in coming.
If that's the case, I'm afraid that the Orville will definitely not be able to wait. In the end, they can only report it and ask the officer to send other scientific research ships or simply build an observation station here and wait. Anyway, he Ed and his Orville will certainly not wait that long.
"soon."
"According to calculations, it should appear again eleven days later."
Fortunately, the situation that Ed was most worried about did not arise. Robot engineer Isaac immediately gave a time that was not too long but not too short.
"Eleven days?"
Ed couldn't help but be startled when he heard that it was only eleven days.
"Okay!"
"think carefully……"
"This is indeed good news. At least, we have at least ten days of vacation?"
Therefore, he didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only stand up pretending to be relaxed and make fun of the song while saying irony.
"good!"
"That's good news indeed!"
"Everyone is very tired during this period. Can you take the opportunity to take a good rest here?"
But first mate Kelly didn't think it was a joke. She was looking forward to the next at least ten days of vacation.
"very
cool! "
"I have no opinion!"
"Well……"
"Anyway, this universe is very quiet. We only need to ensure that the minimum alert level of the spacecraft is enough to cope with it. Can the number of personnel on duty even be reduced to one-third?"
"That way, everyone will have at least eight days or more of vacation!"
"Very good!"
"It's been a long time since I've had such a long vacation!"
"yes……"
Hearing that they could actually take a vacation, and that it might be a long vacation lasting at least several days, although they felt a little regretful that they could not leave the Orville, many officers on the bridge couldn't help but cheer and discuss in unison.
"very good!"
"Then let's do this!"
"Botus, later you will be responsible for formulating a duty schedule for the next ten days!"
"alright."
"That's it, let's break up the meeting!"
Now that the matter has been clarified and the result will not be available until at least eleven days, seeing that there is nothing going on here, Captain Ed stood up again, patted his butt and walked away, ignoring him at all. The fact that he had just woken up and that the second officer, Petrus, had been on duty for more than twelve hours.
…
"..."
(￣o￣).zZ
At this time, a certain troubled little girl was sleeping soundly in her cabin hugging her little bear, completely unaware of the consequences that her unauthorized contact and in-depth interference with a primitive civilization had brought to Ed and others. What a trouble.
Of course, there is no point in realizing it, because she will definitely not change or blame herself for it.
"Well, well, well..."
(*??????*)
Then, she didn't know what she was dreaming about, but after smacking her little red mouth a few times, she turned over and opened her mouth and bit hard on one of the plush arms of her little bear.
Then, he chewed it with saliva.
"That's awesome..."
(￣﹃￣).zZ
"..."
(.-~-).zZ
After chewing for a while, she reluctantly stopped, and after letting out a strange laugh, she turned over and fell asleep, leaving only the stuffed bear covered in her saliva lying silently on her side. Beside the bed.
