With Hansan Port as the center, there are dozens of cable car lines extending in all directions. Although the cable car carriages hanging below them enter and exit infrequently, they basically never stop.
However, the ones that come in and out more frequently are the speeding cars that drive close to the surface on its surface pathways.
At this time, Thanos, Galax and Tali were riding in a cable car that had just left Hanshan Port.
This silver-white cable car is roughly divided into three sections, each with twelve seats. Directly below is a connected freight car. However, except for the Normandy ground operations team, there are no other passengers on this cable car.
Perhaps no one intends to go to "Summit 15", or perhaps their status as "Special Investigators of the Citadel" keeps people away.
"Commander... I think we should find a ground truck..."
Tully held on to the handrails in the cable car, looking very nervous - even though the cable car itself was very stable, as long as she didn't look outside, she would never have imagined that it was hundreds of meters in the air.
"The cable car has an automatic fixed schedule, and the truck needs to find a driver. Even if we can find the vehicle and driver, we can only reach 'Valley 15' or 'Mountainside 15'," Sanos responded: "At that time, you will have to take the cable car
Only then can we reach our destination.”
"Damn it... hiding it so secretly, it must be some shady research." Tully muttered as she secretly glanced out of the cable car window, and then quickly looked away.
"Although you are right, one-third of Novilia's rental laboratories are in similar positions," Galas was well adapted to the height. He suddenly stopped mid-sentence and turned around to look.
Xiang Tali: "Could it be...that you're afraid of heights?"
"What, what? People who live on a spaceship can't be afraid of heights?" Tully held on to the armrest and said, "What we quarians hate most is the gravity of the planet!"
"Listen to what you are saying..." Gallas shook his head: "Forget it, if you participate in future operations, I will ask Shepard to choose a method of operation closer to the surface."
"[Kayden, request sailing from Hanshan Port, have the crew prepare for battle, and come to my current coordinates.]" Thanos suddenly sent a communication, then raised his hand and knocked on his helmet, sealing the visor.
"Is there an enemy?" Gallas followed suit and put on his visor.
"In mid-air?" Tali didn't need to worry about it, but she sounded quite nervous.
"No, on the ground," Tali just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Thanos continue: "But they will bring us to the ground."
"Varied--"
Didi didi——
Boom!
Before the two "attaches" could react further, their all-purpose tools simultaneously sounded the alarm of being locked by weapons. The next moment they had time to react, the cable car was directly hit by two surface-to-air missiles.

"Damn! These guys are procrastinating!" Caiden drove the Normandy away from the Hanshan Port dock, drew a steep arc and rushed to the location where the captain sent the communication.
Since Shepard, Galax and Tali failed to return after landing at Hanshan Port, the dock control tower refused to allow the Normandy to leave the port, claiming that the captain must apply in person.
But he is going to save the captain now!
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and when Kaiden was about to use ship-based weapons to break up with them, news of an accident in area 15 near the top of the cable car line came belatedly, and the tower reluctantly gave Normandy permission, claiming that it would
Claim against them.
Kaiden naturally had no time to pay attention to those nonsense. While speeding towards the target position, he used the ship-wide broadcast to inform everyone to prepare for battle. Judging from the violent explosion heard before the communication was interrupted, it was not just three infantrymen by any stretch of the imagination.
It can be solved.
Fortunately, since everyone knew that Shepard was out to look for trouble at Hanshan Port, they basically had no idea of getting off the ship and hanging out. When the Normandy just sailed out of Hanshan Port, everyone was already ready for battle.
"[The captain's location is halfway up a mountain. He must have been ambushed. You get on the bus at the landing area first. I will drop you off directly when I arrive at the destination!]" Kaiden said while adjusting the direction of the spacecraft.
Other members of the combat team arranged tactics: "[Normandy will share the scanned enemy data with you in real time. If you are outnumbered, evacuate as soon as possible after rescuing the commander. I will use the main gun to cut off your rear!]"
"[You don't have to worry about it,]" Ashley responded in the channel: "[As a gunnery sergeant, it is a basic quality to adjust tactics in real time according to various situations.]"
"[Same goes for Grant.]" the krogan said.
"[Anyway - I scanned the commander!]" Kaiden glanced at the data on the driving panel: "[Hold on tight!]"
The Normandy, which was originally flying level, suddenly descended, passed over a steep mountain wall at an angle almost perpendicular to the ground, and arrived at the fierce battlefield behind it.
Kaiden took a quick glance and found the charred mechanical remains of what seemed to be a cable car. Shepard, Galax and Tali were using it and some nearby rocks as cover to fight the enemy.
The enemies they were resisting were dozens of silver-white "Infantry Geths", three tank-like "Geth Heavy Armors", and a ridiculously large "Geth Colossus".
"[How did these damn things come to Novilia!?]" Kaiden shouted on the communication channel: "[Commander! Hold on, we are coming!]"
The Normandy swooped down, dropped the infantry vehicle, and fired a main cannon at the "Geth Colossus". When the heavy armor fired rockets at it, it instantly pulled up again.
"[Good job, Kaiden,]" Shepard's voice came from the channel: "[The scale of this ambush is smaller than expected. You don't need to support it. Find a nearby place where you can take off and land.]
"
Smaller than expected? A geth of this size would have wiped out an entire geth outpost in peacetime.
"[Yes! Commander!]" Because he suspected that his captain was appeasing the emotions of the crew members who could hear the channel, Kaiden did not question it.
"[Hahaha! Machine bastards! Try Grant's power!]"
"[You big idiot! Don't waste cannonballs!]"
Amidst the roaring gunfire, Caiden could hear Grant's excited roar from the gunner's seat through the communication channel, as well as Ashley's voice, who was scolding him even though he was busy driving.
And a strange voice that seemed to be out of place.
"[Hey hee hee! Geth! The dead Geth is the best Geth! Hee hee hee!]"
