The overall appearance of the command center is like an oblate steel fortress. Most of the curved exterior walls are monotonous silver gray. Only the huge "Devil from Heaven" marks on the ground and exterior walls of the gate give it a little bit of distinction.
Such colors.
Its interior has a large number of layers and compartments with different access rights and security levels according to their importance, and its most central position is the general command room where Renault is located, with huge screens hanging on all four walls.
From above, you can see real-time images and changing chart data of different locations around the base.
Renault was currently arranging the overall operations of the base in front of the command table with an AR sandbox, while an emotionless electronic female voice with the same tone and volume was constantly speaking through the loudspeaker following his movements:
"[Our SCV is under attack.]"
"[Insufficient minerals.]"
"[Insufficient gas.]"
"[Our troops are at war.]"
"[Our base is under attack.]"
"Damn it! Jim, can you shut up this girl? I'm going crazy!" Tychus, who was checking the real-time battle situation, was furious.
"I'm afraid not. The 'adjutant' is an indispensable part of the command center. When we are here to command the overall situation, she will make our orders and feedback more efficient. And when we go out to fight, she will follow our preset behaviors.
Logic commands the troops.”
After commanding two SCVs to repair the bunker that had just repelled a small wave of attacks and was in tatters as if it might explode at any time, Renault looked up at his adjutant.
It was a female figure with only half a body and vague details, like an artistic plaster statue. However, it could be easily seen from the large number of gaps in her body structure and the screws embedded in the joints that it was a mechanical creation.
However, the mechanical humanoid that Renault saw was just an "incarnation" specially created to express its presence. The adjutant's body program was actually inside the computer mainframe in the command center. Destroying this half of the robot would not have any impact on her.
Previously, when the command center of the advanced base was being constructed, the Minmatar army's tentative counterattack came as scheduled.
Not from one direction, but from all directions, and the intensity of the attack reached the point where it would turn from a feint attack to a main attack if there was a slight oversight. Tychus's words "We are born to be surrounded" unfortunately came true.
Without the help of this newly built command center and adjutants, it would have been almost impossible for Renault to withstand this siege relying solely on its own tactical panels.
"Otherwise, let me fight!" Tychus stared at the uninterrupted battle scenes around the base on the screen: "Let those poor Minmatar guys taste the power of Uncle Finley!"
He just wanted to support Angela, right? Raynor glanced at the screen that Tychus was staring at. The petite white power armor, the large shield that was almost as tall as his entire body, and the constantly shining blue healing light were very eye-catching.
When Fortress Hawe appointed Reno as the commander of this temporary base, he also placed the command of all units present under his command, including of course the medic Angela.
The effect of a single medic is quite limited when multiple battlefields are being fought at the same time, and the eye-catching color scheme can easily attract enemy attacks. Therefore, Renault arranged for her to be located quite far back, allowing severely injured clone soldiers to retreat temporarily.
Go to her for healing without exposing her to enemy gunfire.
But the problem is that this "angel" lady doesn't like this. Without paying attention for a while, she has already run to the first line of defense consisting of the bunker and the Marine Corps.
"Don't get excited. Under my command, when has the 'Devil of Heaven' ever had a record of natural soldiers being killed in battle?" Raynor tried to appease the irritable Tychus.
"Isn't that because your style of retreating at the slightest injury is too cowardly?" Tychus glared.
"Well, if you must participate in the war, you can choose a dozen brothers from the special operations team and go with them to the 'orbital drop cabin' in the command center to stand by. I guarantee that you will have a good fight. However, I hope you can
Try to follow my instructions. After all, you can see that here you can have an overview of the whole situation, and the analysis of the situation must be clearer than a single battlefield." Renault swiped his hand several times and added a "target arrow" to Tychus's visor.
”.
"Ha, 'orbital airborne', it sounds like the satellite orbit is still under our control." Tychus nodded, shook his head, and walked away swaggeringly.
Orbital airborne is a way of projecting troops, but the name is nice, but the specific actions are quite deceptive. To sum up, it is to put soldiers and small vehicles into a large box with excellent cushioning, and then launch them to the destination. In theory, that
The "big box" will open by itself after landing, but if it fails occasionally, the passengers will have to smash it open from the inside, and during this period, if there are enemies outside...
Therefore, using this method to deploy troops into uncontrolled areas is strictly prohibited by the federation. Even in controlled areas, it is not recommended when there are no friendly forces around.
Reno shook his head and jumped in line to issue the order to produce the drop boxes.
"[Insufficient minerals.]" Another project that was promoted immediately reported an error.
"[Our SCV is under attack.]"
"Strange... It's been like this since just now, but I didn't see any enemies in the mining area." Renault switched to several mining area screens one after another, and only saw a seriously injured SCV and his colleagues who were repairing it next to him.
, but no unit where the suspected murderer was found was found.
Could it be a stealth Phantom fighter? But there is clearly a missile tower nearby that can detect stealth.
"Adjutant, conduct a radar scan of the mining area." Renault frowned and gave the order.
"[Insufficient energy.]" the adjutant replied instantly.
"..."
Indeed, this command center has just been established and is in a state of exhaustion. The little energy it brought has been used up long ago. Now the staff in the energy room are so busy that they are hitting the back of their heads just to maintain the operation of the command center.
There is simply no abundant energy for him to use.
Boer.
There was a sound that was so slight that it was almost negligible. The SCV, which had been seriously injured, exploded directly. The clone pilot standing next to him suddenly cursed.
Huh? That's...
Renault squinted his eyes and noticed a slight air disturbance in the corner of the mining area, just in the blind spot of the anti-aircraft rocket tower.
With a swipe of his hand, he directly launched the orbital drop capsule that had just been built but was not yet full.
"[Hey! Jim! You——]" The communication from Tychus was a little angry, as if he hit his head.
"Listen, Tychus, as soon as you land, fire at the location I marked on your map. It doesn't matter the target, just cover a wide area. There is an invisible mouse there that I don't have time to find out yet."
"[Ha! Uncle Finley likes this kind of job the most!]"
