After Helena touched the port, she saw the female engineer she had replaced before - it seemed that she was rescued later.
The engineer was complaining to his best friend: "The chief engineer thought that I must have been psychologically traumatized after the last incident, and he kept asking me to see a psychiatrist. But I have already said that I was not abused at all, nor was I traumatized. I even I don’t remember how I got into the container.”
Best friend: "Maybe you went in to check the goods in the container and then slipped and hit your head. I heard that your licking dog also checked the surveillance in the port area and didn't see anyone suspicious at all."
Engineer: "What else did that guy say that the surveillance showed me that I was off work that day? I have no relevant memory at all!"
Of course Helena thought, because I was the one who got off work that day.
She passed the engineer completely unnoticed.
Helena has completely mastered this ability of hers. She estimates that this ability actually affects the cognition of the person she sees, and can change the cognition to something else.
For example, if she wants to, she can be a fire extinguisher in everyone's eyes.
Even if someone looked at the surveillance afterwards, they would think she was a fire extinguisher.
When Helena was on the ship, she tried to use her superpowers to deceive Page on the ship, but failed, indicating that the AI could recognize her.
But now the United Star Cluster has banned AI, so there is no "person" in the entire United Star Cluster who can identify Helena.
Of course, various facial recognition devices can still recognize Helena, but the person responsible for operating the machine will ignore what the facial recognition recognizes.
If you think about it carefully, this ability is quite outrageous, equivalent to a wide-area cognitive modification.
But compared to the abilities of other people on the ship, they are not that outrageous. For example, Lily's ability to sing to affect mechanical properties, Helena felt was much more outrageous than her.
This ability of mine can at least be explained scientifically, right? Human cognition can be interfered with, and communication studies have long used relevant theories to artificially create memes. This ability of mine can actually be regarded as memetic pollution.
However, it is impossible to understand that singing changes mechanical properties. This is no longer a scientific category, but a category of "getting closer to science".
Helena thought as she passed the checkpoint at the port gate. All the security personnel ignored the "spontaneous" rotation of the gate.
When she last infiltrated, Helena's ability was still "transformation", but now as her perception of abilities has changed, her abilities have also changed.
No, it should be said that the ability has been rationalized.
Now from her own perspective, she has remained the same, but she has disrupted other people's perceptions of her.
Helena believes that superpowers may have different characteristics due to the different backgrounds and cognitive structures of superpower users.
For example, she, Nia and Nimiao all have super powers that are "reasonable" because they are all intellectuals and need to be logical.
Lily's superpowers are unreasonable because she is a galactic diva, has no intellectual background, and is generally more emotional.
As for Wang Chao, based on Helena's assessment of Wang Chao, Wang Chao should also have received higher education and be an intellectual - even though his resume does not include any higher education.
In fact, Helena had some doubts that Wang Chao was really a time traveler and had received higher education in his "previous life". Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how an interstellar bounty hunter who was born in a slum and had basically only been educated in the "university of society" could possibly Act knowledgeable from time to time.
The erudition here refers to a kind of human temperament. Of course, a bounty hunter can become knowledgeable through a manned computer, but no matter how many books are crammed into the head of a bounty hunter, it is impossible to show an erudition temperament.
Helena thought as she entered the main public space of Apollodorus Space Station.
The public spaces were decorated with lights and decorations for the upcoming celebration.
Although the space was full of people, no one noticed Helena.
Helena's superpower is now in its current state. On the surface, it is weakened. After all, she can no longer really turn into water and escape from the sewer.
But on the other hand, she has the ability to create wide-area illusions - which is consistent with her background as a former fraudster.
Helena stood behind a busy engineer, and then lifted the cognitive shield on the engineer.
Of course, she did not let the engineer see her real body. Now in the engineer's impression, Helena is a "gentleman wearing a business suit."
She coughed, got the engineer's attention and asked, "Where is your foreman?"
She did not use her original weak voice. For a prosthetic person, it is easy to switch the state of the vocal cords to produce different voices without the help of super powers.
"You mean Mr. Fleming? He's over there!"
The engineer immediately pointed to the middle-aged man in the distance.
"Thank you." Helena walked towards the middle-aged man.
Her plan was simple. First, she would gather information from the on-site construction workers, and then go to the Senate.
If Gaius is planning something, there should be some clues.
Of course, Helena has a last resort, which is to "transform" directly into Gaius himself and let Gaius's subordinates report the situation.
However, I had already disguised myself as Gaius to deceive institutions such as Socrates University, so maybe the enemy would be on guard.
So Helena regarded this as a last resort.
When she walked in front of the middle-aged man, Helena found that he was looking at the photo on the tablet - it was a little girl.
Helena: "Is she your daughter?"
"Yes, the battleship that was destroyed in the previous battle fell to the ground. My daughter was affected and has passed away." The middle-aged man raised his head, with tears faintly visible in his eyes, "Who are you?"
Helena: "I am the special inspector of the dictator, here to supervise the progress of the project. Do you need me to give you some time to sort out your emotions?"
The middle-aged man immediately wiped away his tears: "Uh, hello! No need to bother, I can report to you right away."
I don’t know if Helena’s superpower was at work, but the middle-aged man didn’t doubt Helena’s made-up title at all, nor did he ask for ID.
Middle-aged man: "The current progress of the project is behind... Sorry, because all AI has been abandoned, I can't tell you how much behind. Most of the progress delays are due to scheduling problems. But our plan itself That leaves a lot of redundancy, so it should be completed in time.”
Helena: "Is the scheduling problem also due to the ban on AI?"
Middle-aged man: "Yes. But I don't think it's wrong to ban AI! These damn guys should be banned!"
Helena: "I know. Now send me the project progress, plan and other documents."
"Okay." The middle-aged man decisively used the Star Flash Network to send everything to Helena.
Helena quickly glanced at the cheated information. At least there seemed to be no problem with the preparations for the celebration.
"Please continue to work, and - my condolences."
"Thanks."
Saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, Helena headed towards the Senate.
Gaius, let me see what you're doing. She thought so.
Don't worry, the Rogue Trader is not finished yet. I guess I will be tired of playing on the 15th. I am very confident in myself.
