1307, Heart of the Swarm (Seventeen)

 ――TR.82.10.13――

Mar Sara, living deck of the Hyperion.

"Yes, I am a 'ghost' of the Federation," Gabriel Tosh said while taking a big bite of food: "You can just ask questions about this project. As long as I know something, I promise not to hide it——

one more bowl!"

"...No rush." ​​Arcturus silently motioned to the chef on the ship to continue serving food. Anyway, Marsala is an agricultural planet and there are not many other things, so there will be no shortage of ingredients.

"Ha, he is an elite of the Federation, how can he be so honest? I suggest you torture him before questioning." Kerrigan snorted dissatisfiedly, but she was far away from the table where Tuo Xu was dining, and she couldn't even look at it.

Don't look at him.

"Sarah, since he is willing to say something, why not listen first?"

"snort."

Renault was also beside her, and seemed to want to offer some words of advice, but was stared back.

Hmm... They seem to have known each other before Huberian arrived, and they seem to have a good relationship?

Arcturus withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at Tosh.

This federal "Ghost" named "Gabriel Tosh" is a tall, dark-skinned man with facial features that are easily reminiscent of an orangutan. His head is covered with thin braids. He is wearing a slightly...

Tight Korhal uniform.

Of course Tosh is not a Korhal soldier. He is dressed like this because... he had no clothes at all when he showed up.

The "mechanical ball" Kerrigan found before was the "jump device" she called it. She also successfully unlocked it with psychic energy, but the "ghost" probably didn't expect that there would be a big boss inside.

They - no clothes on.

To be fair, when the outer shell of the mechanical ball bloomed like a flower, revealing the "Thinker" pose inside, the scene was quite shocking, but Kerrigan was too close, and the impact might have been

It was a bit too strong. At that time, she was about to pick up the gun from behind and beat Tuosh to death. Fortunately, Renault's quick eyesight and quick hands removed her gun.

Afterwards, Tosh woke up and was not surprised by what he was going through as a prisoner. He just asked to eat before answering questions. Arcturus didn't have any objections to this. It would be troublesome if the prisoner's stomach kept growling during the interrogation.

thing.

"Ms. 'Ghost' over there," Tosh kept mouthing: "If you were stuffed with an egg and then teleported to a bug nest, there would be no hope of escape and you could only enter a dormant state, which would last for several times in a row.

As for Yue, of course I will listen to whoever rescues you, the Federation? Can the Federation eat it?"

"Teleport?" Arcturus heard the key word.

"A bug nest? How many months?" Reno's focus was obviously elsewhere.

"To make a long story short, I am one of the experimenters of the [Psychic Jump] project," Tosh said as he ate again: "The 'Psychic Jump Channel' to and from the Sarah Galaxy has been stabilized. If it were not activated, it would take a lot of energy.

, the Federation even plans to place it on every planet in the entire sector."

Having said this, he glanced at Renault: "The Federation is not targeting you, it is just planning to use this new technology to train you."

"Thank you very much." Renault shrugged.

"Originally, the sub-base here was operating very smoothly, but the contact was suddenly cut off a few months ago. The Federation threw me here to ask for directions, because some bugs were affected before going into hibernation. At this time, over there,

I should be in 'KIA' status," Tuosh shook his head: "What other details do you want to ask?"

a lot of.

————

After repeated questioning by Arcturus, Raynor, and Kerrigan who suddenly mocked him, the whole process of this incident was basically restored.

First of all, the Tyranid Federation was able to bomb Kohal without warning at all, using the [Psychic Jump] technology provided by the [Mobius Foundation] that did not require a stargate. Afterwards, the Federation purchased this technology from the Foundation.

technology and try to use it to establish an advantage in the subsequent war.

Judging from the current situation, this plan has obviously failed.

According to Tuo Xu, this technology has many limitations. For example, the greater the mass of the "jumping" object, the more it will consume; when a living body performs a "jumping", if it is not a psyker, there will be a high chance of going crazy or disappearing directly.

;When the same object undergoes a "jump", there is a "cooling time". If the jump is forcibly made within the "cooling time", various unpredictable results will occur.

As a result, his weight was reduced to the maximum extent during the "leap" process.

Another point is that in order to make a jump, you must first reach the jump target and build a "psionic energy receiving device" at the destination. Although it is much smaller than the star gate, its size and consumption of materials are still not easy to hide, so

Only then will Renault discover the clues.

Therefore, the technology that "Mora" originally sold with the feat of leaping ten thousand apocalypse in one breath was a complete pitfall. Arcturus was instantly relieved when he came to this conclusion.

Next, there are the bugs that everyone is more concerned about. However, because Tosh did not come out of the "eggshell" at all, he only recorded some worthless image data, such as bugs shaped like worker bees carrying terazine, and those bugs on the surface.

The appearance of running around underground.

However, since it has only been a few months since the Tyranid Federation noticed the problem, it means that the things on Marsala should not have had a chance to spread to other regions and planets. As long as those in the mines below are dealt with, this ecological invasion will basically be ignored.

Solution - whatever they mutated from.

Arcturus was quite confident about this. When he picked up Renault and others to board the Hyperion, he had already asked Siwang to set up an airtight turret fire network around the mine to ensure that no bug would be missed.

.

The last thing is to entrust the ability of being a "ghost". According to him, compared to the "ghost" who hides and strengthens himself and still uses technological means to solve problems, the "ghost" prefers direct attacks with psychic energy.

"But the trouble with using those abilities is that it's easy to get hungry." Tosh touched his belly: "It seems almost done. Let me demonstrate... Boss, can you break this plate?"

Arcturus looked at the dinner plate that Tosh raised: "Okay."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Tosh pouted and whistled two rather unpleasant whistles.

"That is--"

Cah! Cah!

Before Kerrigan could taunt, a slender object glowing with red light appeared out of thin air, piercing the dinner plate in Tosh's hand back and forth at lightning speed, and then floated next to him.

, making a buzzing sound.

Tosh raised his chin proudly: "I call it the 'Force Lightsaber', what do you think?"
