Jack is sitting in the auditorium of the training ground waiting for the actual combat test to begin.
The team members of the Antarctic scientific research station have only been recognized in terms of status, but it is still unknown whether they can complete their work in the ambassador's escort mission.
Although Mass Effect related technology allows ordinary people to easily become soldiers, if you want to become an "agent", your own strength, including force and wisdom, is still more important.
Only by confirming the combat effectiveness of these scientific expedition team members can specific training plans be formulated.
If you just look at the appearance, there are still enough strong men and strong women in the team, and the weak girls and boys can do some logistics and communication support work.
Therefore, after two days of adaptability training, Nine-tailed Fox arranged such a test, but I don’t know what she said. The person in charge of N7 at the military base kept a straight face, as if he wanted to destroy Cerberus.
The newcomers looked like they were being taught a lesson.
Needless to say, she must have used her "SSR" to mock his "N".
By the same token, the relationship between the unit code-named "R" and her must not be very good, and the relationship between "SR" and "SR" is probably average.
No, there is no such code name as "SR", the nine-tailed fox itself is just "S".
Strictly speaking, "S" is an agent, and "N" is a special forces soldier. The functions of the two are similar and slightly overlapping. The contradiction between them has been around for a long time.
Since Jack has been transferred to the agent system, his authority has been increased accordingly. He can check the SSR department he belongs to from the internal database.
The Strategic Science Corps (Strategitific Reserve), this department existed before the establishment of the Star Alliance, is dedicated to controlling, containing and protecting things that are difficult to explain by current science, so that they will not cause harm to/by the public.
Because it often releases some ridiculous or even absurd conclusions to explain anomalies after conducting high-profile investigations, it is also nicknamed the "investigator army that uses science to explain everything from a strategic perspective."
Judging from some of the "things" that have been unsealed so far, those anomalies are basically gadgets left behind by aliens and poor imitations of them by humans.
However, the SSR's operational troops are not all called Nine-tailed Fox, as she said.
Jack alone could find nearly twenty operational unit numbers such as "Jade Pipa", "Pheasant", "Sixiang", "Jade Unicorn", "Lame Leopard", etc.
Although Jack wanted to laugh a little when he saw these names, the big red "canceled" letters immediately following these team names forced him to become serious.
Obviously, the SSR suffered heavy losses and even annihilation more than once when performing missions. After creating new numbers and canceling them many times, Ms. Jiuweihu simply stopped creating new numbers. All operational troops were called Jiuweihu.
, and only she can tell which troop has which tail.
In other words, although Ms. Nine-Tailed Fox is a bit out of character, it is just a disguise on the outside. She may be suffering more pain in her heart than anyone else. The weird feeling I had when I saw her may be precisely because she didn't want to.
But due to the order, we had to accept a team that could be canceled at any time.
This...do you want to be more gentle with her in terms of attitude?
"Hi~ cutie~" Ms. Nine-tailed Fox sat down next to him: "Are you nervous because you came so early? Sister, I can touch your head to encourage you~"
"no!"
Even if her past is worthy of sympathy, she can't call herself a cutie!

After a while, the "Captain of the United States" led the former scientific expedition team members to the preparation area of the training venue.
The bloated cold-weather clothing had been replaced long ago. She was now wearing a relatively lightweight set of light armor with a red background and blue edges. She was holding a triangular shield of the same color in her hand, but strangely she did not carry a weapon.
"Ella, Tristan, you go for the shooting test first, Scoyue, Gawain, Torva, you go for the single combat test," Sharon began to make arrangements for the scientific expedition team members who were about to take part in the assessment very naturally.
Mission: "Farkas and Wilkas, Nigarda and Artis, you go to participate in a two-person team fight. The rest of you, follow me for actual combat exercises."
"Wait?" The person in charge of the base, who was about to introduce the test process to her, looked surprised: "Each of you should conduct individual tests in turn, and arrange tactics based on the actual results for the final actual combat exercise."
"Mr. Colonel," Sharon asked in a more surprised tone: "Although you don't know the specific mission, you should at least know that we will soon go on a major mission. Don't you plan to make a plan based on everyone's strengths?
Targeted training plan, but preparing to test everyone’s strength and then arrange a comprehensive training to supplement shortcomings?”
"Is there any problem?" the person in charge of the base responded: "The water capacity of the barrel is determined by the shortest board. If the overall strength is not up to standard, it will be easy to make mistakes in the job."
"In this case..." Sharon looked the person in charge up and down: "We conduct all tests simultaneously, saving time on testing one by one. Why do you want to stop it?"
"The process is not like this. It would be difficult to collect statistics if the records are scattered. And because you came in a hurry, we did not prepare so many assessment personnel." The person in charge of the base said: "So you should follow the order-"
Boom! Bang! Buzz-buzz-buzz-
Before the person in charge had finished speaking, Sharon had already turned around and left, decisively waving the shield in her hand and smashing open the emergency alarm device on the wall of the training ground.
That one can only be pressed after a major accident or a definite enemy attack, right? It seems that no matter what, there will be a lot of reports to be written after pressing it.
After hearing the piercing alarm, the personnel preparing for the test at the training ground subconsciously found a bunker nearby and began to be on guard, but they had no idea what was going on. Sharon's team members all moved closer to her on alert.
"Yo~" Before Jack could figure out how to deal with this matter, the nine-tailed fox had already stood up, held the guardrail with one hand and jumped down: "Sweetheart~ What did he say to make you so angry?"
This... In comparison, "little cutie" is still acceptable.
No, now is not the time to think about this. The indirect leader of the Nine-tailed Fox has gone down, and naturally he, the direct leader, cannot stay here to watch the show.
As soon as Jack turned down the auditorium, he saw Sharon pointing at the person in charge of the base and saying, "Sir, I suspect he is a spy!"
Where do spies come from now? Alien spies?
……Huh?
————
The "Cape of Good Hope" temporary base has been temporarily blocked.
The person in charge was personally detained by the Nine-tailed Fox, and the Star Alliance observers who usually had little to do were pulled out and questioned the managers of the bases one by one.
Although the soldiers at this military base were dissatisfied with the sudden control, the background of SCPO5 plus SSR was too great, and there was no actual action at all except a few complaints.
Strictly speaking, according to the principle of confidentiality, not only can they not cause trouble, but they also have to help conceal the "accident at the military base" itself.
"You can't detain me just because I follow the rules!" The person in charge of the base who was locked up in the solitary room was very dissatisfied: "No matter what your identity is, I will definitely accuse you of your wanton behavior in a military court!"
"Hi, sweetheart~" The nine-tailed fox ignored him and just talked to Sharon: "How did you judge that there was something wrong with him? Intuition?"
"Hmm..." Compared with her previous decisiveness in commanding and smashing the alarm button, Sharon seemed a little shy when facing the nine-tailed fox: "You may not believe it when I tell you, but I have a method that can accurately determine [who is]
The intuition of the person behind the incident.”
"To be honest, I don't really believe it," Jack interjected: "But now that the situation is urgent, I decided to use the 'presumption of guilt' and lock him up for a month first."
Regarding the matter of "indoctrination", because there were so many people at the military base, he had not told Sharon about it. Without knowing this concept, he could still decisively accuse the person in charge of the base of being a spy, and he could only assume that she had
"Superpower" explains it.
After all, in the eyes of people who don't understand the concept of "enlightenment", the person in charge is at best rigid and dogmatic, unwilling to adapt to changes, and seems lazy.
However, even though they clearly knew that these training personnel would be involved in major tasks in more than ten days, they still procrastinated and followed the steps, either intentionally delaying the training or trying to "civilize" them.
"My intuition is never wrong. As long as you conduct a search, you will definitely find evidence." Sharon said very confidently: "Our sponsor once planned to send some bad guys to the Chaldea Research Station, but I tried to find a way.
Sent away."
So...you were abandoned not just because the people in charge forgot...
Jack glanced at the person in charge in the solitary room and saw a fleeting panic in him.
Is there really a problem? And the evidence can be found? This American captain is really capable.
"Hmm~ I believe you~ sweetheart," the nine-tailed fox adjusted his glasses: "So, do you think I am the mastermind behind this?"
This guy...must have done a lot of dirty work behind the scenes, right?
"Well..." Sharon looked the nine-tailed fox up and down: "You seem to be making many evil-looking plans, but the results of those plans don't seem to be too bad, so you can only be regarded as a 'pusher' rather than a 'pusher'
Black Hand'."
Sounds like a "mental interference" type of ability?
"Ouch~" The nine-tailed fox covered his cheek with one hand and touched Sharon's head with the other hand: "You are such a good boy~"
She was admitting that she was carrying out "many evil plans"... Jack silently took a half step back.
"Sir~" At this time, Eva opened the door and walked in with several documents: "We found records of the person in charge of this base illegally purchasing and using a variety of 'dangerous technologies' that are prohibited by the Galaxy Alliance."
"...Hmph." The person in charge of the base stopped showing his innocent face and tilted his head with an attitude of "I admit it, what can I do about this little thing?"
Well...this proves the fact that he actually doesn't know about "enlightenment".
No matter what, he can only be imprisoned until the Star Alliance develops countermeasures.
————
A few hours later, the once-interrupted assessment was restarted.
Jiuweihu temporarily took over the base and took those rotation personnel who were supposed to have a rest as assessors.
Those soldiers were not very happy at first, but with Cerberus' wonderful performance, they no longer bothered to express their dissatisfaction, and directly invited friends and companions to come and watch.
"Ten rings! Ten rings! Ten rings again! How many meters is this?"
"The scariest thing is that this guy only opens his eyes once every time he shoots!"
"This woman's archery skills are also...is she an Amazon?"
"John! Didn't you eat? Why were you killed instantly?"
"Bah! Come up here and try? This guy is like a ferocious hungry wolf!"
"Billy! Are you tickling him?"
"How the hell do I know! This guy's body is as hard as a turtle shell!"
"Haha, George, Fred, why did you two fall down when you got up?"
"The two of them must have been delinquents," "Their street fighting skills are superb."
As the Cerberus personnel completely crushed the soldiers at the base, more and more soldiers on leave came to watch the battle, and from time to time there were those with itchy hands who wanted to go on stage to make gestures - basically humiliating themselves.
Amidst the commotion, the actual combat exercise directed by Sharon has also ended.
Due to the small scale of this military base, it cannot provide a real battlefield like the N7 training base. It can only conduct indoor breach drills, mainly rescuing hostages and defusing bombs.
However, since the work of escorting Ambassador Waller does not require that kind of venue, the indoor environment is completely sufficient.
For practical purposes, Jack also specially added the task of "protecting important personnel" to her. As for finding the mole... This is not convenient for simulation and is not conducive to teamwork, but anyway, there will be no such thing among these scientific expedition team members.
Those who were educated simply gave up.
As for the overall result, it was completely unexpected. Sharon and her team members rescued the hostages and defused the bomb at a speed far exceeding the record. Only the issue of protecting the important personnel was due to the guy playing the important personnel spraining his ankle and falling off the chain.
Couldn't break the record.
"Well... we are actually not that strong," Sharon was still very modest when reporting to Nine-Tailed Fox and Jack: "If any of these people change their positions and responsibilities, they can only use about 50% of their previous performance."
"Doesn't this just show that you know how to use people well?" Jack praised her: "You can look at the arrangements for the next test. If you think it is not necessary, you can end it directly."
"Well, we still need to test it in actual combat..." Sharon thought for a moment, then turned around to arrange new participants in the simulated battle: "Gawain! Stop praising the sun there!"
"It seems that our first mission will be a success." Jack looked at the nine-tailed fox who was flipping through the battle report.
"By the way, little cutie," the nine-tailed fox turned to look at him: "In view of your performance in the entire test, I decided to give you a code name."
"What?" Jack had an ominous premonition. He seemed to have done nothing to help, right?
