The lady originally had her own name, and Christina von Gattuso was her full name. It’s just that she has existed in this space city for too long, and her 300 years of service is enough to bring
Take away most of our comrades.
Over a long period of time, everyone who had the opportunity to call the lady "sister" and by name, one after another, due to various reasons, could no longer walk with the lady. Either they died in battle and returned to the throne, or they were transferred away.
Stand alone.
When the lady finally became the "Black Ship Lady" and began to take over the rights and mission of the spaceship, she was the only one left by her side, and no one could look at her lovingly or call her kindly.
"My dear little Chris".
The nuns can't do it, and the mortal crew members on the ship are even more impossible. The overall transfer once every three years is a strict rule, because the working environment on the black ship is too harsh, and the oppressive environment of working under the anti-psychic field set up for safety reasons,
It is something that mortals are destined not to be able to bear for a long time.
The Star Language Court's opinion on this matter is: Except for the nuns themselves, other staff members must be regularly replaced and their relevant memories of serving here must be cleared. Because they don't know who they are, and they don't know who their colleagues are.
They only call each other by their numbers.
So on this ship, no one cares about the lady’s name, they just call her “Ms.” Just like mortals, they also don’t care about their own names. The number plate on their left chest is their only reference for calling each other.<
/p>
Apart from work, there is no communication between the crew members. In this way, they will not be emotionally bound to each other, and when the critical moment really comes, their emotions will not interfere with the decision-making of their comrades. This is to protect themselves and others. This universe is so cruel and hostile to humans. As a weak mortal, silence is loyalty. Working in silence is the only way to contribute to the empire. Live in silence and die in silence.

On the first floor of the church at the top of the spaceship, in the lady’s office.
"I think I made a mistake, ma'am."
"Oh? Tell me, my little Cassin."
"You should formally call me by my first name - Sister Cassin."
"Okay, my little Cassin."
Under the slightly yellow candlelight, there is no one else in the cabin except the lady and Cassin. The lady does not need to deliberately show the dignity and determination of a leader. The tall back chair decorated with dark green velvet makes the lady considered quite popular among the same sex.
She was a little thin due to her tall and straight figure. She held her chin with both hands and tilted her head slightly to look at the young man in front of her at leisure.
"Okay, let's skip this step." Cassin sighed helplessly.
"You continue." When talking about the task, the lady also sat up slightly to show respect.
"The mission target has been successfully captured, but during recovery we accidentally discovered a psychic awakener."
"You brought him back?"
"Yes. Unregistered psykers must be recycled or cleared. This is the law of the empire and our principle."
"So what's the problem?"
"He may be a noble. Sister Aldeline's opinion is that we need to register with the Planetary Governor."
"This is not something you should consider. You did a great job, Sister Cassin."
At this point, the lady has resumed her power and determination as the highest-ranking officer among the Sisters of Silence of the Emperor's Claw - Lady Black Ship. She waved her hand forcefully:
"Politics is my problem, not yours."
The lady stood up, crossed her arms, took two steps, turned to Cassin:
"Aldeline's idea is not wrong, but please remember that at any time, we will and will only follow the principles of imperial law."
"Your will! Madam, what should we do next?"
"Have you done the purity test?"
"It should be working on it, but I did a preliminary check and there is no problem."
"Okay, now, notify the clerk. Send an accountability letter to the planetary governor. Why did an unregistered psyker appear in our mission? I need his explanation! Otherwise, before the next High Lords Council, I
He will complain to the Tribunal and the leader of the Forbidden Army at the same time, hoping that the accountability of the Ministry of the Interior is not what he wants."
"Ah?" Cassin was confused.
"Just do as you say, my dear little Cassin." The lady suddenly put away her serious expression and winked at Cassin in a playful manner.
………………
At the same time, our protagonist Calvin is being watched in a cabin 10 meters directly below the lady's office.
He was asked to stand naked in the center of the cabin and place his hands on a scripture placed in the middle of the table.
The fine gold cover with a thickness of more than one centimeter and the buckle with a chain made Calvin secretly complain that the weight and feel of this thing could be used as a weapon. Then he was shocked to discover: the edge of the cover was actually edged!
There are still some dried blood stains of unknown creatures on it that have not been washed away! Here is the throne! This thing has really killed people!
Before Calvin could digest this shocking information, the Anglican priest in red robe behind the bulletproof glass had already begun to become impatient.
"Calm down! Next, read after me."
"The nature of the devil is such that righteous people do not yet understand it. Once we know it, we must fight against it..."
Although he didn't understand the reason, for the sake of the solemn priest and the flamethrowers that were clearly on at the four corners, Calvin decided to generously forgive the other party's offense. He followed the priest's slow voice and said: <
/p>
"The nature of the devil is such that righteous people do not yet understand it. Once we know it, we must fight against it..."
The priest, who was waiting for Calvin to finish reading this passage, carefully observed the psychic instrument in front of him. On the rune reading table engraved with dazzling red paint, the pointer was floating quietly, motionless.
After waiting quietly for a few seconds, the relieved priest copied the index on the parchment and handed it to the nun waiting next to him. Then he stood up and said to Calvin on the other side of the bulletproof glass:
"Okay, you can go."
After putting on his clothes, Calvin had just walked out of the door when he was watched from both sides by two armed soldiers who led him to the next test session. What awaited him would be what happened after he boarded the black ship.
The most important test since entering the ship, which may affect the fate of his entire life - psionic classification.
The new test cabin is slightly different from the previous environment. The same gray steel is used as the main tone of the walls. The difference is that the weapons on the four ceilings have been removed, and there is no bulletproof glass on the front. On the contrary, the three high-level spirits
Accompanied by two heavily armed guards, the capable man sat in front of Calvin.
When Calvin entered the cabin and sat down as instructed, the three psychics signaled to each other with their eyes, and then a silver arc flashed in the eyes of the tallest one in the middle. He looked at Calvin, and a sentence suddenly appeared.
In Calvin's mind:
"Then start your psychic grading test now. I will only say the following once, please remember it. After awakening to psychic powers, everyone will have an initial reference according to the principle of telekinesis. You can also understand it.
It is the specific microcosm of your mind projected in the material world. It may be a sword or a pen. But no matter what, it is the form that your subconscious wants to see when you release your spiritual energy. So please close your eyes now
, relax, take a deep breath, open your heart, and let us see the projection of your heart."
Subconsciously, Calvin began to follow the instructions of the voice. He closed his eyes and put his consciousness into the ocean of void spirit. The small, black gem filled with countless facets embodied by Calvin's soul also disappeared.
Naturally, I responded to his call and slowly rose from the deep sea.
At this moment, he seemed to have withdrawn from all "human" emotions, quietly looking down at the gem from top to bottom, and at the same time examining his own soul. The tiny black luster appeared regularly from the smaller facets of the gem.
It lights up and goes out regularly, as if echoing Calvin's breathing.
From a more microscopic perspective, Calvin saw that most of the facets on the gems were damaged, while only a few were intact, and even fewer of them could respond to his call and emit light.
.
"Well, very good, keep it up. Let's see, a wall? A black crystal wall? What does this mean? Protection or imprisonment? Okay, regardless of it, the psychic energy fluctuations are very stable, and the fluctuation period can be called accurate.
."
Calvin, whose thoughts were interrupted by the sound, was thinking about how to deal with other problems that might arise next, but when he heard the word "wall", even though he had lived for so long in two lifetimes, he couldn't help but raise his head in surprise.
Beginning.
"Wall? If a table tennis ball as big as me is floating here, will your eyes be blinded?"
