1512, Wrath of the Lich King (2)

 ――AD.2159.7.3――

Omega galaxy, satellite 4 surface.

After entering the giant Reaper battleship through the open wound, the two "ghosts" and a scholar simply got lost.

No, it should be said that there is no way forward.

Three people and a machine faced the gray-black corridors and mechanical structures extending in all directions through the gap, and were confused for a moment.

After all, the Reaper warship was not designed to take humans, turians, and asaris on board, so naturally there were no signs or house numbers that were easy for them to understand.

However, judging from the height of the passage, the size of the rooms and the various unknown mechanical equipment, it still has crew members, but these crew members seem to be only half the height of ordinary humans. It would be okay if it were a large corridor, but it is a little narrow, and it is suspected of being a repair passage.

Several investigators could not enter the place.

What made them a little strange was that although it was confirmed that the battleship had a crew, no suspected clothing or personal belongings were found in the surrounding abandoned cabins. Of course, it is also possible that the part entered was a work area.

After a preliminary search of the surrounding environment, several people began to discuss countermeasures.

"[I think we should go to the weapons control room first.]" Saren suggested.

"No matter how you think about it, it should be the bridge, right?" Kangna didn't agree.

"How can there be good things in that kind of place? Should we consider supply warehouses and equipment research institutes? After all, there is a saying that food and grass should go first before troops are used." Benacia's suggestion was as always.

After arguing for a while, several people were embarrassed to find that none of them knew where they were going on the battleship, and the Reapers would not be considerate enough to provide them with a map.

"How about this," Kangna pointed to the top of her head: "Before coming in, I roughly noted the location of the 'eye'. Let's go there and take a look?"

"Hmm... ok." Saren had seen the power of that "eye edge" in the illusion, so he agreed.

"Although I guess the technology of that kind of weapon is incompatible with ours, it's not impossible to go and take a look." Benacia also seems to be a little interested in weapons that are not in the Mass Effect system.

Fortress... Even if it has any opinions, others won't understand.

What made Kangna somewhat relieved was that this robot, which should theoretically be closely related to the Reapers, showed no abnormality at all after entering the Reaper battleship, making her preparations useless.

Of course, the hamster was left on the Dunkirk from the beginning, and I don’t know how he got along with Bass.

After reaching an agreement, Kangna began to lead Saren and Benacia toward their coordinates in the complicated and tortuous passage according to the "absolute coordinates" of the "eye" in her memory.

However, the next action was not so smooth.

After all, the location of the "eye" is quite far away from where they boarded the ship, and there is obviously no convenient way to go directly there. It would be even more difficult to destroy its load-bearing walls in an unfamiliar ruin that has been there for countless years.

This is completely undesirable behavior.

This led to Kangna sometimes choosing the path closer to the "eye", but in the end she found it was a dead end.

During this period, Etty tried to come out to help, but like a useless target recognition system, she could not get a correct response to the scan of the external environment.

If you think about it carefully, this is natural. How can a mechanical race that aims to harvest all civilizations in the galaxy do without a few ways to interfere with and mislead conventional AI?

In the process of "walking the maze", Saren and Benacia, who had nothing to do, were inevitably attracted by the objects along the way.

"[Is this a sniper rifle? Why does it look like this? How to hold it?]" Saren was confused as he held a strange rifle that was all gray and twisted into a lobster shape.

"It seems that you have never come into contact with geth weapons," Benacia took a look and responded casually: "All their weapons are 'mounted' on the arms, and there is no need to pull the trigger when shooting. It should be the same here.

."

"Tch." Saren threw the weapon to the fortress boredly.

While the fortress was talking about putting a rifle on its arm, Benacia also discovered a new toy at a sentry post.

"Look, this is Gatling, with a one-way mass effect shield. It suits your taste, right?"

"[Ha, just kidding, anyone who uses a weapon as powerful as Gatling and opens a shield in front is a coward.]" Saren didn't even look back.

Gaer~beep~

Having obtained another weapon, Bastion scratched its bald head, removed Gatling's shield module and carried it behind its back.

These two guys were really big-hearted. Kangna glanced back at the fortress. Of course, this was also because a robot didn't have a mass effect shield, so even if it jumped back, it wouldn't be much of a threat.

Finally, the group arrived at the location of the Reaper's "eyes".

It was a giant control room that was half destroyed by a huge external force. The "eyeball" was supposed to be inserted into it to power it, but the dense lines and pipes had all fallen apart when the "eyeball" was dented.

However, strictly speaking, the so-called "eyeball" is just an unknown red crystal carved into a spherical shape, and there is no such thing as a pupil.

Just when Kangna was about to investigate it further, the texts of the two missions that had been silent in the corner of her vision began to tremble crazily at the same time.

Damn...there is something wrong with this eye!

When Kangna turned around in a hurry, she saw Saren and Benacia staring closely at the "eyeball" together, but their attitudes were different.

Benacia was murmuring to himself: "The so-called beauty is on the side of the water."

Saren declared loudly: "[She is mine!]"

If this is "enlightenment", it would be too outrageous.

After looking around and using various scanning methods but unable to find anything resembling a woman, Kangna gestured to the fortress, and the two "people" took action at the same time, knocking Saren and Benacia unconscious.

This time it should be... Kangna looked at the text that was no longer vibrating in the corner of her field of vision.

[Mission update: Prevent Saren Atreus from being civilized: 1/5.]

[Mission update: Prevent Benacia from being civilized: 1/5.]

Hmm... In other words, as long as they stay here, they will have plenty of opportunities to be educated, right?

Do we have to transport them out and knock them out again every time they wake up? Even if they don't have to beat them stupidly.

And if we want to destroy this "eye"... let alone whether it will be useful, the place will probably collapse directly.

Wu Li~Hiccup~ Bao Bao flashed the light on his head and asked doubtfully.

"Let's just pretend that you're asking 'what to do'," Kangna tapped her forehead, where the halo originally existed: "Now we can only call for off-site assistance, hoping to solve the problem from the root."

Woohoo~ Bastion responded, patting his armor on his chest.
