As the two people behind the scenes, they discussed it seriously and came to the conclusion that doing so was appropriate, appropriate, well-reasoned, and without any mistakes.
However, when Annie was wrapped in a bathrobe and was about to pass by Lu Yuan and leave, Lu Yuan said lightly, "Actually, it was because of the provocation?" Annie suddenly stumbled and was embarrassed.
"Is that so? Is that so?" Master Lu asked with a smile as he followed Annie, who was walking faster and faster, "Yes, it means, if it doesn't, it doesn't... Let's be realistic!"
"It's you!"

"Citadel, this is the Gray Eagle patrol fleet. We found that there seems to be something abnormal on the trade route from Ilim..." A Turian officer stood on the big screen and made a video report to the command center of the Citadel space station. . "During our three-hour patrol, we only found very few spacecraft passing by, which is very abnormal."
It is a very busy trade route from Ilim to the Citadel. In space trade, due to the high cost of spacecraft transportation, the waterway will definitely not be as crowded as it is today, but it will not be as deserted as it is today. However, judging from his reporting attitude, the Turians did not regard this matter as a major abnormality and only reported it as a routine matter.
"The Citadel received it. The Grey-headed Eagle Patrol Fleet has just received instructions from the parliament. Due to the upcoming joint military exercises, some repeaters near the Citadel Space Station are currently closed." In the command center, the handsome operator said politely The young captain explained the situation. And she looks. He seemed to have other thoughts about the captain, so he said a few more words. "Before you, other patrol fleets also reported similar situations. After we reported it to our superiors, the above is the feedback we just received. The current situation is... everything is normal."
"Everything is normal!" After the young captain saluted heroically, he was about to close the communication with a smile. But the video communication screen was distorted at first, and then automatically disconnected, turning into snowflakes all over the screen...
Years of military training, graduated from the Turian's highest military academy. The leader among the younger generation, he was able to determine what was going on within a few tenths of a second! "Communication interference?! Turn on the active lidar immediately. Search with full power..."
Before the Turian officer finished speaking, the entire Turian cruiser he was riding on shook violently, interrupting his words. Immediately, the communication channel became lively, "Cabin No. 4 is damaged!", "Strong interference source found", "We have been hit by a super-range strike! Repeat. We have been hit by a super-range strike! The target is..." Detector Yelling crazily on the channel.
The Turian officer opened the detection screen without saying a word. He was still shocked at this moment, but his confidence in the powerful Turian cruiser at his feet made him firmly believe that the patrol fleet would not be attacked immediately. Crush! However, what he saw in his eyes made him shiver all over - countless beautiful purple light bands extending from the depths of the distant dark universe! These purple bands of light are both incredibly beautiful and extremely dangerous. After a patrol fleet frigate was hit by a light belt, it didn't even have time to send out a distress signal before it silently exploded into a cloud of cosmic dust!
"It's Geth..." He could recognize it. Because in the Turian military textbook, the Dawn War between the Geth and the Quarians occupies three small chapters. The captain is familiar with the main guns of mainstream battleships in the entire galaxy. Among them... most of them use mass effect guns. Only the main guns of the geth warships. I just used the purple shortwave beam cannon...
The beam main gun fires at a long distance several astronomical units away. It takes several minutes just to reach the range. Most of the time it can hit is because the patrol fleet is moving at a constant speed, which is easy to calculate. It's just that although the beam is amplified and dispersed at a distance of several astronomical units, the power is less than one-tenth of the main design value, and the accuracy is almost non-existent... but the amount is overwhelming. It still effectively bridges this gap!
The enemy never showed up, but kept firing from long distances. And the accuracy is getting more and more accurate! Obviously, there is an enemy reconnaissance ship lurking nearby! But at this moment, the patrol fleet is unable to search.
Turian officers tried changing speeds, dispersing breakouts, and shield formations... However, in the end, the entire Gray Eagle patrol fleet unfortunately turned into dust in the universe! The only thing that gave the young officer some comfort before his death was that he still passed the message back to the Citadel command center at the last moment.
If communications are interfered with, there must be a huge source of interference near the patrol fleet. Its size... should be similar to a Dreadnought-class battleship! But until the end of the fleet's destruction, they were unable to find the battleship.
This squadron was hopelessly destroyed in the continuous long-distance strikes. It was not until all these battleships were destroyed that thousands of geth battleships, large and small, slowly appeared from the depths of the universe and sailed into the channel to the Citadel!
At this time, in the darkness behind the squadron, a monster-like battleship slowly emerged. It seemed to have been hidden there since ancient times - the "Overlord" Reaper!
*****
Citadel Space Station Command Center.
Perhaps it was thought that although the communication was interfered with, neither party actively disconnected the connection. Therefore, in that one thousandth chance, the beautiful operator received the last message from the young captain by coincidence!
This news gave her a heavy blow! But after calming down, she immediately wiped away the tears in her eyes to make herself look less strange. Then, following the emergency procedures, he first turned on the surrounding silent shield, and then used the fastest speed to input the information about the Geth attack on the Grey-headed Eagle patrol fleet into the major information network!
This network is the fastest way for them to report upward. Sure enough, just two seconds later, a message was silently fed back from the major information network - "Top secret: Come to 5601 immediately, don't attract anyone's attention!"
The operator left her position excitedly, hurriedly walked out of the command center, and boarded the special elevator to the 56th floor of the giant tower!
In the elevator, she was finally able to relax a little, but the image of the young captain could not be removed from her mind... The whole elevator only took a few seconds to run, but it felt like several... The century is so long! Finally, when the indicator light finally stopped on the 56th floor, the door of the dedicated elevator opened for her, letting her breathe a sigh of relief.
A geth stood at the door of the elevator, holding a gun and pulling the trigger without hesitation!
"Bang!"
The Citadel Tower is the seat of the Citadel Council. However, at this moment, the 56th floor of this giant tower was full of geth infantry and asari commandos. Saren was standing in the center of them, busy in front of a huge console with his back on his back.
The body of the female operator was dragged away from the elevator by the Geth, and then a new Geth came to disinfect and wipe it, restoring the elevator to its original state... From the beginning to the end, they were busy doing their own thing, and even the female corpse was removed from among them. When dragging by, it didn't attract anyone's attention...
The Citadel Council has accepted Shepard's warning and the fact that Saren is preparing to attack the Citadel. Before that, the Citadel gathered many fleets to the Serpent Nebula (the location of the Citadel Space Station, preparing for a decisive battle with Saren here!
However, what those congressmen did not expect was that Saren was neither commanding the fleet on the "Overlord" Reaper battleship, nor was he still wandering around the World God Star Territory as Shepard reported before...
He has found the "Holy Path" left by the Protheans, and has appeared swaggering inside the Citadel's giant tower, and is even infiltrating and taking over the Citadel's military command network! This is absolutely beyond the expectations of most people - the Citadel Council believes that as long as the "petals" of the space station are closed, the Citadel Space Station will be an eternal fortress!
However, they never imagined that Saren had invaded the interior of the castle! The shell of the quantum-level space station, which was more than 70 meters thick, instantly became useless!
Because the so-called "Holy Path" was imitated by the Protheans, a small mass effect relay that can lead directly to the interior of the Citadel...
