Planet Womer, inside the geth mothership, communication center.
Click - chi - sizzle.
After a fierce battle in which the offensive and purpose changed several times, Thanos finally removed the last conduit on the geth, which was used as the communication center.
With the strange mechanical noise coming from the outer wall of the center, the red warning lighting turned into an ordinary shining white light again.
However, the geths who were fighting with the team did not do anything like "stay in a daze, then turn around and leave". They tried to attack Ashley and Jenkins as before, but the number of subsequent reinforcements was obviously
It became sparse.
This is also more reasonable. These geth are not under control. If there is no intervention from the command level, they will naturally continue to perform the tasks they originally received, such as attacks, such as reinforcements. After the communication is disconnected, they will naturally not continue.
More geth received orders for reinforcements and arrived.
"It's unbelievable that we actually cleared a temporary safe zone in the enemy's base camp." Ashley said in an incredible tone as she clicked on the last few geths that appeared.
"It's just that this place is not important enough. If it is the core of this mothership, reinforcements will not stop until we destroy it." Thanos used both hands to pull the geth, which was used as the communication center, from the pile.
It was dragged out of the messy pipelines.
"Are you going to retreat as planned? Commander?" Jenkins continued to maintain vigilance and observe the passage where the geth had emerged from before, with a cold look on his face.
"Normandy can't pick us up yet, have you forgotten?" Thanos responded casually as he was studying the geth.
"Ah, that's right." Jenkins scratched his head, his cold and elite appearance immediately collapsed.
"First Tully, then Jenkins, are all the people on our ship good at changing faces?" Ashley rolled her eyes.
"Maybe we all have another side that we don't know, the question is when will it be revealed," Thanos said.
"Really? Could it be that Kayden is actually a road addict? Gallas is a rock music lover?" Ashley said casually without taking it seriously.
"..." Thanos glanced at her in surprise, and then opened the communication channel: "Kayden? I have cut off the communication of the Geth mothership. How is the situation on your side?"
"[Everything went well, Commander, I gave the krogan directions in the air to indicate the geth's attack direction, and they didn't notice me at all, which is incredible,]" Kaiden's response was mixed with a crackling sound: "[I just
I noticed that the formation of these geth warships was chaotic for a few seconds. Did you succeed? Commander?]"
"Yes, the communication between these geths has been cut off. Ask Tali and Galax, are they ready to kill a hundred geth warships?" Thanos responded.
"[The message has been sent, uh... Commander, how about I take you out first? After all, you, Jenkins, and Ashley are not safe in the geth ship. What if it plans to retreat?"
"Kayden stuttered in response.
"Well...and Ashley." Jenkins followed suit.
"Drive your ship well! Commander Shepard will arrange what to do!" Ashley glared at Jenkins and switched directly to the channel.
"You have to kill enough geth ships to pick us up safely. Besides, we still have something to do here." Thanos responded.
"[Understood]." Kaiden hurriedly interrupted the communication.
"We still have missions? Please give the order, Commander." Ashley tried to divert the attention of other team members.
"No, it's just my mission." Thanos turned his attention to Geth, who had just been taken out of the communication center and was lying on the ground.
————
The geth being used as a communication center looks quite miserable.
Due to the need to connect pipelines leading to various parts of the mothership, its arms and legs and other useless parts have been removed, basically only the headlight head and torso are left, and some honeycomb shapes are installed on the limb sections for connection
The structure of the pipeline, if you look closely, is enough to drive people with trypophobia crazy.
Ashley glanced at it twice and didn't dare to look again. Instead, she and Jenkins guarded the ship passage, silently watching Thanos pick through the wreckage of the destroyed Geth to find suitable parts.
Assemble that geth.
Although he didn't quite understand what his commander was going to do to repair this geth. To search for internal information, he could just dismantle the storage core, but Ashley didn't ask any more questions. After all, he had never done anything meaningless from the time he boarded the ship to now.
Things like... leading the crew as red threads don't count.
Creak - buzz -
Finally, Thanos finished assembling the geth and gave it two electric shocks with a multi-purpose tool, and it "came back to life".
Jenkins immediately pointed the gun at him nervously.
"[Commander Shepard.]" Geth said in a strange voice mixed with bubbles and electronic sounds.
"You know me?" Thanos crossed his arms.
"[We all know you, 'Heretic Punisher' John Shepard,]" the geth responded: "[The heretic geth refused to accept the command of the 'Ancient Machine' and attacked areas controlled by the Galactic Alliance, and you destroyed them."
"
"The geth are still divided into factions?" Ashley asked in surprise.
"[...]" Geth turned to look at Ashley, but did not respond.
"You can take this as a question from me," Thanos said.
"[We were made by the 'Creator' and given consciousness by the 'Ancient Machine'. The 'Creator' wants to erase our consciousness, so we have to destroy the 'Creator'.]" Geth said.
"Oh... The Quarian Omnic Crisis..." Ashley nodded.
"[Six months ago, the 'Ancient Machine' came to the 'Perseus Veil' and made a request to take over us. We decided to agree, but the heretic decided to oppose it and left the Perseus Veil.]" Geth said.
"Oh...it's true..." Jenkins said mid-sentence and decisively shut up.
"Then how come you are used as a communication center?" Thanos pointed to a lot of pipelines that he had torn out.
"[The heretics refused to accept the orders of the 'Ancient Machine', but wanted to know the actions of the 'Ancient Machine', so they captured us for forced communication.]" Geth explained.
"If I catch you, I can eavesdrop on the communications of the 'Orthodox'?" Thanos asked.
"[We are disconnected from the 'heresies', but we cannot be disconnected from us, because we are not heretics.]" Geth's words became a little difficult to understand.
"Well, I think I know what the problem is," Thanos shook his head and pointed at the Geth: "Now, use personal pronouns to call the Geth in front of me."
"[We (We).]" Geth replied.
"These guys don't even call themselves singular!" Ashley slapped her forehead.
