After killing a dozen out-of-control robots along the way, Kangna met the woman who spoke to her through the loudspeaker in the main control room full of surveillance footage.
She was an intellectual woman in her mid-twenties, wearing a tight-fitting black leather jacket and a white hood, with blond hair and blue eyes. Kangna vaguely thought she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
"Hello, Connor Shepard, I am Gwen Stacy, the technical director responsible for resurrecting you," she blinked: "Don't worry, there are no men in the entire project team."
There's nothing to worry about, right? As an android, why do you care about what you have and what you don't have?
However, another keyword seems a bit...
"Resurrection?" Kangna asked doubtfully: "I remember I was in the Citadel..."
He was "liquidated" and disappeared due to excessive use of psychic jumps.
"You were hit by the exploded Reaper wreckage," Gwen continued: "That was really miserable. You were just a pile of rotten meat when you were first discovered. If you had given it to the Star Alliance, they would have probably covered you up.
Bury the flag."
Huh? Wait?
Not to mention that there are problems with this method of death, even if you leave a "body" behind, it will only be "parts", right?
Kangna pinched her face subconsciously.
What you feel on your hands is skin, muscles, blood vessels and bones, not simulated materials belonging to bionic humans.
She paused for a moment, then put her hand on her heart.
Boom, boom, boom.
That was the sound of a beating heart, not the subtle hum produced by the core of Mass Effect.
Conner Shepard no longer seems to be a "T800 android", but a real "human".
To this, her first reaction was - now she couldn't overload her Mass Effect core as a super bomb at the critical moment.
"Don't worry, I can guarantee it hasn't shrunk." Gwen glanced at Kangna's hand.
"No, I'm not worried about this," Kang Na put down her hands: "What about my friends...?"
"All the members of the Dunkirk are safe and sound. However, in order to avenge you, Shepard of the Normandy was attacked by a sneak attack while chasing the geth. The Normandy was sunk, and he lost his life as a result. I'm sorry."
Gwen said.
He is alive and well!
After being teased for a while, Kangna realized belatedly how this happened:
Since she was nominated as a ghost by the Citadel Council, the fact that she is an android has been completely blocked, and those who know the truth will not take the initiative to reveal it. Therefore, the "corpse" found after she was "killed" is probably that John passed through a certain
A means created out of thin air.
Knowing that it was not her, the Star Alliance planned to cover the body with a flag and bury it to fool them. However, this organization, which did not know what it was thinking, took it away through various means and even "resurrected" the "corpse".
.
Finally, when his "conscious body" returned from the "Kingdom of the Dead", he identified the "resurrected" and "self-conscious" "Connor Shepard" as his own body and plunged into it.
.
Is this part of your plan? John!
"Well, okay, I have a general understanding, so what is the current date?" Kangna asked instead.
"May 12th," Gwen replied, and then added before Kangna asked "The time seems to have not changed": "The second anniversary of the Battle of the Citadel just passed half a month ago."
"..."
——???——
——AD.2162.5.12——
"If so much time has passed, there is no rush to ask about the changes that have occurred during this period." Kangna shook her head: "It is better to first talk about the attacks this research institution is suffering and how to respond."
The biggest problem with this "resurrection" is that Kangna can easily convince people she doesn't know well enough to say that she is back, and can even fool the Citadel Council into restoring her identity and ghost authority. But for those who really know her details
To me, she is basically a spy who had plastic surgery to become Conna Shepard and has done in-depth research on her. In order to prove her identity, it is useless to tell some private things that only she knows. The more things she tells, the more she becomes.
will be suspected.
After all, how can an android become a human being?
However, there are still some questions here. For example, as a human, she can still call the database, and the action suggestion system is also running normally. Could it be that those are the abilities of her "conscious body"?
"As expected of Shepard," Gwen praised, and then continued: "If nothing else, this should be an attempt by the 'educated' to eliminate you. It seems that the 'reaper' regarded you as
Enemy."
"Judging from the fact that this attack happened before I woke up, it is possible," Kang Na nodded: "What is your suggestion?"
"The civilized guy's position should not be high, but he can change the built-in programs of all assistant robots. This means that the conventional escape methods are within his expectations, so we have to find another way."
As Gwen said this, he walked to the main control equipment to check the monitoring of various parts of this scientific research facility.
Looking at the overall picture, it can be seen that many scientific researchers are being suppressed by the firepower of those armed assistant robots, and have even died at the hands of robots whose programs have been changed.
It is worth noting that many surveillance images have serious interference or even a black screen.
"The traitor must be in these unmonitorable locations," Gwen squinted her eyes and stared at the pictures: "As long as these blocks are isolated and the air inside is drained, the guy will definitely be killed."
"...to remove the air?" Kangna asked doubtfully.
"Didn't I say? This is a small scientific research space station." Gwen knocked on the panel a few times, and the "window" of the main control room opened, revealing the starry sky outside and the planet that took up most of the field of view and was overall purple.
"Well...is there any other way?" Kangna looked out the window twice and then looked back: "If you do that, you will also kill other researchers in these locations."
"Or, ignoring the traitor for the moment, we go to the storage warehouse, activate a space shuttle and leave directly, and then report to the Star Alliance and let them deal with the aftermath." Gwen maximized a picture of a lot of goods piled up.
"I heard that the 'indoctrinated' cannot be changed back. We can leave, but the other researchers in this institute will all be killed by the robots before reinforcements arrive." Kangna frowned.
"Then, there is only one last method left," Gwen shrugged, planning a route through all the black screens and interference areas: "Proactively approach the guy who wants to kill you, subdue him, and then kill the robot.
The code has been rewritten, but you have just woken up, and it is very difficult just to find me. Do you still have the fighting power?"
