Chapter 1029: Tasks from the Parliament
The door opened quietly.
A middle-aged man walked into the room, stretched out his hand to press his brow, and then sat behind the desk. The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to open the contact.
"Pick me up the SSV Normandy, Commander Shepard."
"Please wait………"
The mechanical electronic sound quickly disappeared, and after a moment, a young white woman with blond hair appeared on the screen in front of the man.
"Hello, sir."
As she spoke, the white woman gave a military salute to the man in front of her. Seeing this, the man couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Okay, Commander, you don't need to salute me. I am no longer your commander, but a member of parliament..."
"Okay, then Congressman Anderson."
Hearing Anderson's words, Shepard also quickly changed his tune. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then their expressions quickly turned serious.
"Commander Shepard, what's the current situation on the Normandy?"
"Everything is normal, Anderson, but our main task now is not to track and eliminate the remaining geth. You know, the reapers are our biggest enemies!"
"Um………"
Hearing Shepard's words, Anderson also looked gloomy. Naturally, he would not forget this name.
Anderson still remembered clearly that not long ago, the human planet Eden Prime was attacked by the geth, and a large number of humans were also captured. At that time, it was Shepard who was responsible for investigating the matter. In the end, she discovered that it was caused by the rebels.
Led by the ghost agent Saren, there is a conspiracy to summon a terrifying species called "Reapers" to come back and destroy all life in the galaxy.
The situation was once very critical, and even at the last moment, the Reaper "Overlord" on which Saren was riding led the geth army to almost occupy the entire Citadel. But at this critical moment, it was Shepard and her Normandy who stepped forward.
, destroyed the Overlord, and ended the conspiracy of the Reapers and Saren.
Although victory was achieved in the end, all the members of the Citadel Council were wiped out. After that, Shepard recommended Lieutenant General Anderson, who was once his superior, to join the Citadel Council as a human representative.
Originally, according to Shepard's wishes, she wanted to continue investigating the information about the Collectors and Reapers after this, but the Citadel Council insisted that the so-called Overlord was just some kind of strange and huge machine created by the geth.
Weapons, and the prophecies about the future that Shepard saw were just her own hallucinations. Therefore, the Citadel Council has also issued an order for Shepard and the Normandy to continue tracking and cleaning up the remnants of the geth.
Shepard was naturally very dissatisfied with this, but Anderson had no choice. Although he was one of the Citadel council members, he was only "one" and could not overturn the Citadel Council's decision.
But this time, Anderson contacted Shepard not for this matter.
"Shepard, I have a very important task for you to complete this time."
"What mission?"
Shepard on the other side of the screen immediately became serious, while Anderson frowned and then said helplessly.
"Perhaps you don't know yet. In fact, just a few days ago, a border fleet of the Turian Empire encountered an unidentified attack on the edge of the wandering galaxy. The Turian fleet was completely wiped out..."
"Is it the Reaper?"
Hearing this, Shepard suddenly became excited, while Anderson hurriedly raised his hand.
"Wait, calm down. Although I also hope it is the Reaper, in fact...according to the news from the Turian side, it is us humans who attacked the Turian fleet..."
"???"
Hearing this, Shepard looked confused and looked at Anderson with a "What the hell are you talking about" look, and Anderson was also speechless. In fact, when he got the news from the Turian Councilor, he
It’s also very helpless!
"Is this a sign that the Turians intend to attack humans again?"
Shepard immediately had her own thoughts. No wonder she thought so. In fact, after humans entered the universe, the first war they encountered with aliens was with turians.
At that time, the human exploration team was trying to activate a dormant mass relay and was discovered by the patrolling Turian fleet. Since this was an act prohibited by the Citadel Council, the Turian fleet launched an attack on the human exploration fleet.
And after that, they also captured one of the human colonial planets - Shanxi.
At that time, the two sides fought bloody battles for several months, and humans finally succeeded in retaking Shanxi from the turian hands. However, the turians were unwilling to give up and were preparing for an all-out war with humans.
And precisely because of this, the war between the two sides attracted the attention of the Citadel Council, and they finally made peace with the mediation of the Alyssa tribe, and humans also joined the Citadel and became a member of this cosmic alliance family.
.
Although the current relationship between the two sides is gradually improving, and even the Normandy is a warship jointly built by humans and turians with their respective cutting-edge technologies, it is obviously impossible for Shepard to forget the original war.
"Although I also think this is nonsense from the Turian side, but... they submitted evidence."
As he spoke, Anderson sent a video file over, and soon, scenes of images appeared in front of Shepard.
Turian fleet, unknown terrifying monster, strange fleet, and... a male young man who looks like a human in every way.
"...Report to the Citadel Council immediately..."
Finally, amid the screams, the video playback ended, and Shepard stared at the snowflakes on the screen carefully and remained silent for a long time.
"What do the Star Alliance think? Isn't this really our fleet?"
"Judging from the signals and fluctuations intercepted by the Turian fleet, the other party's technology is completely different from ours."
"...could it be Cerberus?"
The Cerberus mentioned by Shepard is a notorious human supremacy organization. They claim to protect mankind and put the interests of mankind above all other races. If it were just that, it would be fine, but Cerberus
The biggest problem with Sri Lanka is that they often abduct aliens and conduct some inhumane experiments, and their attitude towards other aliens is also quite bad...or in other words, full of hostility.
"We have also considered this possibility, but at the moment...it's hard to say."
Anderson also shook his head.
"You also heard that the other party completely denied having any relationship with us humans. If it were Cerberus, they would not say that."
"That's true..."
Hearing Anderson's words, Shepard nodded in agreement. Cerberus is a die-hard human supremacist and is also proud of being a human. In the previous video, the other party was indeed right.
This shows a nonchalant look.
"But no matter what, we must investigate this matter."
Anderson stood up and stared at the screen.
"The Turian Lord has issued a protest and warning to our Star Alliance through diplomatic channels. If it's not good, a full-scale war between us humans and Turians may really break out. So Commander Shepard, I want you to lead Normandy
No., head to the Wandering Galaxy immediately to investigate everything about this matter! I want to know where the mysterious fleet in the video comes from and who it is!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing Anderson's order, Shepard put his feet together, raised his hands and saluted quickly.
Chapter completed!
