"Although I have seen everyone's awareness, I still want to confirm it one last time." Kangna pressed the conference table and leaned forward: "This is a trip that is likely to lead to no return, and from the perspective of defending against the invasion of reapers,
This action is completely unnecessary, does anyone want to quit?"
Although there were many people in the conference room, everything fell silent after Kangna asked the question.
At this time, two weeks have passed since Kangna analyzed the IFF key to the center of the galaxy. All crew members have explained their "future affairs". Except for some ordinary crew members who belong to the "Earth Guardians" who chose to leave, all
The special crew members all chose to stay.
Kaos was actually quite surprised by this. Not to mention the old days and the Outer Gods, Emil was still a princess no matter what, and the People's Federation really felt comfortable letting her take risks. As for Academy City's release of Misaka Mikoto and Lina,
Probably because they have confidence in their strength. In the case of 10032, it is because the Misaka network is not affected by spatial distance and can maintain contact after entering the galactic center and the buoy network is disrupted. The most outrageous thing is Illya. As a person with no fighting ability
The Einzberns didn't stop her from being an ordinary CEO of an android company, and even prepared a complete set of travel supplies for her.
The reason why Kangna said it was "unnecessary action" is because through her series of actions against the "infiltrators", all members of the Citadel Council have confirmed their existence and formulated corresponding detection and defense methods.
, just wait for the hard work, there is no need to go straight to Huanglong. With this time, wouldn't it be good to prepare for the upcoming reapers in the future?
But the Star Alliance, or the "Earth Guardians" obviously don't think so. Judging from the information revealed by Gwen, they seem to believe that when facing a threat that is bound to come, it is best to take the initiative and weaken the enemy's strength in advance.
The correct approach - even if the strength of the "infiltrator" is of little significance to the Reapers as a whole, the act of "counterattacking the Reapers" itself is of great significance.
In order to make this counterattack more powerful, the "Earth Guardian" returned the Normandy II to the factory and comprehensively upgraded its firepower, shields and armor. Since it was not clear about the strength of the enemy it was about to face, the standard of strengthening was
This is done based on the fact that "being hit directly by the geth mothership's main gun will not cause the shield to be broken." If the "other Shepard" ship could apply this technology, it would probably be able to use it from the geth mothership's ship.
Survived the attack, probably.
"It seems that I am wasting my time," Kangna smiled and shook her head: "Then, everyone, please go to the 'defensive position' I assigned to you, and be ready to meet the enemy at any time. Since a battle may occur immediately after the jump, I
I won’t let everyone take a rest. If anyone has a ‘jump reaction’, please be patient for a while.”
Is this because he is afraid that Normandy will plunge into the opponent's fleet? Kaos cursed while opening the multi-purpose tool and took a look.
Engine room, why is it an engine room again?

"[Dear passengers, please fasten your seat belts, the train to the Galaxy Center will leave soon~]"
As the Normandy II entered the jump range of the "Omega Four" repeater, the pilot Cicero began to make strange things on the channel, but no one had time to pay attention to him now, after all... The repeater with red lightning
It's quite rare, the last one was the one over in the Halo Galaxy.
"Cesar, don't be so talkative." Kangna patted his driver's seat.
"That's the center of the Milky Way. This is the first time we've done a 'Mass Effect Jump' so far away. I don't know how long it will take. If I don't say anything, I'll be bored." Cicero muttered while operating.
.
Sizzle, the red lightning from the repeater began to wrap around the Normandy II, and the mass effect channel was looming.
"You can chat with Edie." Kangna replied smoothly.
"Isn't that the same as synchronizing the chat history with you -" Cicero shook his head and suddenly cursed: "-Thank you, thank you!"
The Normandy II had just entered the mass effect channel, and was faced with the wreckage of an unusually large battleship. Cicero adjusted his direction and passed by it with great difficulty.
However, it was obviously not a single ship. After bypassing the wreckage of the battleship that blocked the view, one could clearly see that the mass effect channel ahead was dotted with ships that had sunk in various postures and were blocked in the channel.
"What? What is this? What is this?" While he was hurriedly controlling the Normandy to avoid it, Cicero kept talking: "Is this some kind of strange ghost channel?"
"The mass effect channel is transferred directly through the 'subspace'. Theoretically, there won't be anything here." Kangna grabbed the back of the driver's seat and stared out of the porthole: "The presence of something here only means something."
One thing - the gravity generated by the dense cluster of stars in the galactic center changes some of the laws of physics."
"I guess all the ships destroyed by the 'subspace storm' are here!" Cicero shouted loudly: "Is there anyone on the ship who can write a paper? If you post this, you will definitely win an award!"
While shouting meaningless words, Cicero controlled the Normandy II to fly up and down like a swallow flying through the dense forest, narrowly avoiding all the large amounts of wreckage that seemed to hit it head-on.
"Concentrate on sailing the boat." Kangna didn't even dare to say too many words to distract him.
"Hahaha! That's it? That's it?" Cicero obviously didn't listen: "Let the storm come more violently!"
【Buzz——Ding——】
As if to respond to the arrogant Cicero, when he passed through the wreckage of a battleship again, dozens of strangely shaped, kaleidoscope-like drones flew out of the wreckage, followed closely behind the Normandy, and sent out a wave.
Attack it with a short burst of red laser light.
Now, while Cicero was avoiding obstacles, he also had to avoid the barrages coming from behind.
"Hahaha! What is that? A floating cannon? I will look down on you even if you don't get a Death Star!" Cicero was already in a state of excitement and began to talk nonsense.
boom--!!
A huge collision sound came from the stern of the ship, causing Cicero to stop talking.
"Edie?" Connor asked immediately.
"[Commander, a huge spherical metal object penetrated the ship's hull and crashed into the mechanical deck. Emergency sealing has been carried out and nearby defense crews have been summoned to deal with it. The object's code name is tentatively named 'Mini Death Star'.]"
Ti replied.
"...Okay, I'll shut up." Cicero said angrily.
Meanwhile, near the engine.
"Well..." Kaos looked at the huge metal sphere that could float in the air and move on its own, with a silver-white body and an energy emission port like a red pupil, and then turned to look at Kedoli: "Your brother
?”
"It seems that today we have to 'exterminate relatives for justice'." Kedoli said coldly, while orange flames ignited in her hands.
