Jacob Case.
Thirty-six years old, he was a former lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy and had participated in the Gulf War and other battles.
However, this major, who was in his prime and had a promising future, took the initiative to apply for retirement in April 1999 on the grounds that he was suffering from the mental illness of "Post-War Psychological Syndrome (PTSD)".
At the end of 1999, an Umbrella intelligence agent took the initiative to contact Case, and successfully persuaded the major to join the Umbrella Armed Forces under the arrangement of Queen White.
After that, after several screenings by the red and white queens, Keyes was finally determined to become the captain of the Dawn Guardian.
"Relax, Captain."
"Yes, sir."
After exchanging greetings, Sui Bian walked towards the front of the bridge.
Brothers Robert, John, and Corax followed their father while observing the entire bridge from left to right.
On both sides of the bridge are the operating stations of each crew member, and in the center of the bridge is the captain's position. The front end of the bridge is equipped with a large porthole, allowing people on the bridge to visually see the situation outside the ship.
The position where Sui Bian led the original bodies was behind this porthole with an excellent view.
"Sir." Case, who also came here, reported to Sui Bianhui: "It is expected that all personnel will be boarded in ten minutes."
"good."
Ten minutes flew by.
"Everyone has boarded the ship."
"All cabin doors have been closed and the cabin sealing process is in progress...the cabin sealing is completed."
"Everything shows green light."
"The Dawnguard has reached its peak condition."
At this time, reports from the crew were heard in the bridge.
Case first looked back at the bridge, and then asked Sui Bian, who was standing beside him, asking for permission:
"Sir, are you...?"
"Take us to the dawn, Captain Case." Sui Bian nodded.
"yes."
After receiving permission, Case turned around and left, returned to the center of the bridge, sat in the captain's exclusive seat, and looked at the command on the left side of the bridge:
"Start the engine."
"Start the engine!"
"boom--."
As the conversation progressed, the entire ship suddenly trembled violently.
But only for a while.
In more than ten seconds, the tremor rapidly weakened until it was almost undetectable.
"First, second... all engines are running normally, Captain." the crew reported.
"Very good." Case looked to the right side: "Contact the manufacturer and ask them to open the top gate."
"Yes, Captain."
"Boom - boom -!"
Not long after the order was given, a loud noise came from outside the ship.
Out of curiosity, Robert and his brothers looked up through the porthole and knew what the "gate" Keyes was talking about.
It turns out that the top of the mountain has also been renovated by Umbrella's engineering department. Now it is like an extremely large gate, slowly unfolding to let outside sunlight into the interior of the mountain.
The shaking sound lasted for nearly two minutes.
The giant gate on the top of the mountain is fully unfolded, and its width and length are enough to allow the Dawn Guardian to enter and exit smoothly.
"Unbind the dock." Case continued.
"All fixtures have been released."
At this time, the hull of the ship swayed, giving everyone a strong sinking feeling.
"Turn on optical camouflage."
"Opening... the Dawn Guardian has entered a hidden state."
"Inform the Red Queen and ask her to clear the area."
"The Red Queen said that the clearance has been completed."
"Okay!" Keyes cast his gaze toward the porthole ahead and raised his voice loudly: "Set sail, crew!"
"yes!"
Immediately afterwards, with a sense of frustration, the Dawn Guardian slowly left the dock, especially when passing through the gate on the top of the mountain, the speed became even slower.
After entering the outside world through the gate, the speed of the ship's hull begins to gradually increase.
Looking down through the porthole.
The mountainous area of the airport and manufacturing plant gradually "shrinks" and is replaced by clouds that look like a white ocean under the sunlight.
Robert and his brothers, who were in a prime location, felt as if they were really traveling in the sea of clouds, and their mood was extremely exciting and comfortable.
This is thousands of times better than a roller coaster, a pirate ship or a jumping machine in an amusement park!
And Sui Bian…
"..." He remained silent as usual.
'The scenery is really nice. 'Actually, he was also surprised.
But Sui Bian, who has been in power for many years, has seen all kinds of storms and waves. The novelty alone will not allow him to show too many emotions.
Soon, the Dawn Guardian carried everyone to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.
The so-called sea of clouds has disappeared, leaving the stratosphere with almost no weather phenomena.
Under your feet is the earth reflecting arcs of blue light, and above your feet is a pitch-black space.
Case, who had been looking at the holographic screen in front of him, ordered again: "Turn on artificial gravity."
"Artificial gravity is on."
Case turned on artificial gravity before everyone felt the weightlessness.
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed across the eyes of the original bodies. After all, the most interesting thing about going to space is probably the weightlessness.
However, the scene that followed swept away the primarchs' haze of despair.
The feeling of weightlessness, the feeling of outer space, nothing is as good as seeing "her" true form with your own eyes.
All I could see was the blue "little ball" outside the porthole, somewhat lonely in the darkness.
Earth.
Looking at the mother planet outside the porthole window, Robert and his brothers could not help but be intoxicated.
Compared with the entire universe, it turns out that "she" is so lonely, small and... fragile.
The Primarchs couldn't help but take a few steps forward, almost lying on the portholes overlooking the earth, their sense of responsibility and protectiveness instantly overflowing.
At this time, the Dawn Guardian was already in a low-Earth orbit at an altitude of 400 kilometers, orbiting from west to east.
The entire crew, including Case, couldn't help but stand up and stare, intoxicated by this exclusive view of the earth.
Without exception, everyone present came to the universe for the first time, and their emotions such as excitement and excitement were indescribable.
However, as Umbrella employees, they were extremely qualified. They just sighed for a moment before sitting back at their respective posts and continuing to work.
"How do you feel?" Sui Bian asked, who also approached the porthole.
"In addition to being excited...still excited."
"It turns out our earth is just that big."
"Compared to the entire universe, we humans and the Earth are so small."
All the original bodies expressed their thoughts one after another.
But Sui Bian still kept a slight smile on his face, as if he didn't get a satisfactory answer.
"Father." Robert straightened his back and said in a deep voice:
"Because of the vastness of the universe, our goal should be to control, destroy, and crush all those who dare to invade humans and the earth."
"That's right." Sui Bian looked pleased.
Then he turned around and faced the porthole, looked at the blue earth and sighed: "Everything is for mankind."
"With me and my brothers, the flag of humanity will be spread across the galaxy, father!" Robert echoed.
"For humanity!" echoed the Primarchs.
