While waiting for the scan in the pressurized cabin, Xie Yuan caught a glimpse of a plainly dressed technician scanning with a multi-purpose tool.
Seeing Shepard looking at her in the same way, the female technician explained half timidly and half helplessly: "I'm sorry, Commander, the Normandy is temporarily blocked. This is an order from Ambassador Udina."
Shepard was noncommittal and just waited for the air pressure to be balanced before running to the large elevator leading to the c-sec police station without looking back.
However, this time while waiting for the elevator to descend, Xie Yuan handed Shepard, Tully and Williams a small patch each.
"What is this?" Shepard took the patch with a puzzled look on his face.
"An electrode pad equipped with brainwave amplification and reception functions. It can be attached to the back of the head and only needs to be used with the adapter in my pocket."
After saying this, he patted a machine in his pocket that looked like an old-fashioned walk-man: "You can set up a private brainwave conference room."
"Wow!" Shepard was really stunned. This form of communication was unheard of. "Such a good method, why don't you try to promote it?!"
"Because it is impossible to promote this. First of all, this is still a preliminary experimental product. I am just giving it a try." Xie Yuan explained helplessly while teaching Tully how to use a multi-purpose tool to load this function into his protective suit, "
And the basis of this technology is that a mentally strong person is needed as the main server... Such a person is not easy to find."
Shepard saw that Xie Yuan had applied it himself, so he followed his example and placed the metal patch on the skin behind his head.
Seeing that Shepard had the idea to try it, Williams also followed suit. The patch was very cold when it was applied to the skin.
After feeling it for a while, Williams said unconvincingly: "It doesn't seem like I feel anything."
{That's natural, it's not an invasive device, it's a sympathetic device.}
Xie Yuan explained.
But Ashley, Shepard and Tali were all stunned.
Because at this moment, Xie Yuan didn't say a word at all - but his voice came into his mind!
"What is this?!" Shepard's breathing suddenly deepened, "Is it mind reading?!"
{No, this is a very simple, basic and even rudimentary brainwave communication technology. It’s something that’s not on the market. I didn’t even bother to use it.
But I think it’s better for our next conversation to be as private as possible, and be careful that walls have ears.｝
"Haha, it's whatever you say it is..." Shepard laughed dryly.
Are you kidding?!
This is telepathy! In the past, even if it was pseudoscience, high-level officials from various countries could establish research bases to study it. Now Xie Yuan actually says that it is something that cannot be put on the table?
Are you playing tricks?!
But then Xie Yuan's voice made her look stunned: {Shepard, I beg you not to complain like this in your heart, I can hear it...even they can hear it.}
Shepard's expression immediately froze, and he turned around to see Ashley and Tully tilting their heads, not daring to look at her.
"I..." Shepard took a deep breath and closed his mouth, {Okay, I get it, what do you want to talk about? So mysterious?}
{It’s about the colonel’s plan to find you} Xie Yuan didn’t hide it, {I’ve already guessed his purpose of finding you.}
{Oh?} Shepard has mastered the usage, {What is it?}
{A way for you to escape or even unblock the Normandy.}
…
Then, Xie Yuan gave a brief summary of Colonel Anderson's method - not to worry about using his authority as a senior Star Alliance officer to open the door, while at the same time physically injuring Ambassador Udina and using his authority to unlock the Normandy.
This illegal unlocking method will cause the system to recognize the result for more than ten seconds. But if Shepard is prepared, the Joker will be ready to leave the anchor and leave the Citadel in ten seconds.
As the latest reconnaissance frigate, the freed Normandy has the ability to escape quickly and conceal itself, and can complete the jump before the patrol arrives.
But the sad thing is that Anderson, who stayed as an operator, had no way to get out of danger.
If he had given up resistance in time, he might have been convicted of treason and would have regretted it for the rest of his life.
But if he had resisted during the arrest - he might have died on the spot.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Anderson suddenly spoke up, humbly asking for advice.
By this time, the four of them had arrived at Fulex and found Anderson who was waiting.
As Shepard's mentor, with a full hawkish background, and years of research on Saren, Anderson believed that the line Shepard followed should not be discontinued and should be followed up closely.
Therefore, he believed that he had to help Shepard once - even if he had to use illegal means with obvious side effects.
As soon as this plan came out, Shepard was shocked - because this was exactly what Xie Yuan had just told her.
When Shepard told this story, Colonel Anderson was also shocked. He didn't expect that the secret operation he had just made up his mind to be discovered would be discovered all of a sudden.
However, the shocked look quickly passed, and Anderson knew very well how extraordinary Xie Yuan was - he was not inferior to Shepard in terms of personal combat effectiveness and other abilities.
You must know that it is almost impossible for such a guy with strong independent tendencies to be tolerated by the powerful, but Xie Yuan can still leisurely survive the attention of Star Alliance, Pan Asia and Cerberus, which shows his ability.
Of course, this is also because Pan Asia has the capacity to accommodate others. At least in Star Alliance, Xie Yuan does not get this kind of respect - so now Pan Asia fully enjoys the benefits of having him.
Since Xie Yuan guessed what he was thinking, Anderson generously gave Xie Yuan some advice.
Xie Yuan also immediately gave Shepard and Anderson three plans - of course, they also used small patches to communicate.
For this reason, Anderson started to make a fuss about Xie Yuan's new tricks again, but fortunately, this happened in a flash.
However, although Xie Yuan had three plans, the last two of them were variants of Colonel Anderson's plan.
The first and best way is to change ships and leave the country without using the Normandy.
Because the ban on the Normandy is real, but for Shepard, the execution of the ban cannot be as simple as banning the Normandy.
If nothing else, if Shepard was so angry that he cut off the news and disappeared for two or three days, Udina wouldn't be able to make any sense.
Because Shepard was born into the military after all, the only person who can control her is Colonel Anderson.
If Shepard changes ships and leaves the country this time, he can still get things done as long as he does a good job of hiding it.
However, the effect of this plan is average - the ship must be carefully selected, not too bad, and even the background must be clean.
Moreover, both Shepard and Anderson have been trained in the naval style of "The Sun Never Sets", and are accustomed to the atmosphere of "the ship is there, the people are there, the ship is destroyed, and the people are killed"... More importantly, there will be a huge controversy about abandoning the ship and fleeing.
.
So Shepard directly rejected it - but Xie Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: Where could he find a qualified and reliable security transport ship?
Otherwise, he could only use the Jinfan, a replica of the Avenger, as his own ship to arrange the pursuit of Saren.
But if he had a choice, Xie Yuancai wouldn't let his vest be exposed so casually!
