At 0:06 on the ship, Augustus, who was dressed in the captain's regular dark gray, sat on the alloy bench outside the Hyperion medical cabin. Sarah Kerrigan sat close to him on the left. She was huge.
Tychus Finley sat next to Augustus's right arm with eyes as big as a bull's, and his huge butt almost occupied a third of the bench. He crossed his arms around his chest.
Moving like a mountain.
Compared with the silent and calm Augustus and others, Jim Raynor and Harnak Hank were walking back and forth in front of the closed bronze metal door of the medical cabin at almost the same frequency. These two figures
The sound of the men's boots in buckskin vests and nylon trousers clicking on the deck echoed in the narrow and long interior corridor of the Hyperion.
"Jimmy, Hank, stop for a moment." Augustus looked at Renault walking around and said: "We have the best military doctors, midwives, nursing staff and medical equipment. Elizabeth enjoys my mother's birth."
With my service, she will be able to give birth to a lovely child safely."
Renault's girlfriend Elizabeth Liddy, who he met in Mar Sara, has been pregnant for more than ten months. Now, as the Hyperion jumps from Agria to Umoyan in the hyperspace passage, the baby has entered her due date.
Elizabeth is about to give birth.
"You're right." Renault stopped and looked at Augustus, as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
"But I am indeed quite anxious. He (she) is the first child born on a battleship, and we are in a hyperspace channel. Who knows whether children born in this state will be affected by
What impact.”
"Don't worry, it is not a rare case for children to be born naturally while the colonial fleet is sailing." Augustus said helplessly to Augustus: "On the other hand, you two, if you keep wandering around, I will kill you.
Dizzy."
Harnack did not pay attention to what Augustus said. He was still pacing in front of the door of the medical cabin, mumbling words such as the Hail Mary and the Holy Son blessed by the Holy Spirit. He spoke plausibly.
Sometimes the name of an unpopular god.
"Hank, I remember you are an atheist." Tychus stopped Hanak from mumbling.
"It's only temporary." Harnak said to Tychus: "As long as I can use them, I will be a temporary believer. What do you know, Tychus."
Harnack seemed even more nervous than Reno, not only because he truly regarded Reno as a blood brother, but also because he did not want to see anyone in the Demons of Heaven harmed again.
He had no family, so he regarded his comrades who shared life and death as more important than his own life. After the death of Curt Josephine, who had been quarreling with Harnack, this stubborn and frivolous young man finally became much more mature.
.
"Idiot, besides fighting, money and women, what else is on your mind?" Tychus was furious.
"Aren't you the idiot you're talking about?" Hanak rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight.
"Shut up." Suddenly, Kerrigan stood up to Augustus's left. She raised her eyebrows, and her jade-green eyes were like gems, shining like crystals under the light of the cabin lights.
Radiant Kerrigan's bright red lips are wider and thicker than her perfectly proportioned facial features, and many people believe that this is undoubtedly the embodiment of sexy lips.
In an instant, the red-haired ghost agent who had been following Augustus showed the majesty of a queen, and her powerful spiritual power made people around her naturally awe.
Although Kerrigan was only a seventeen-year-old girl, Tychus, a veteran of the Revolutionary Army, and Harnak, a non-mainstream gangster, were both temporarily shocked.
Almost at the same time, the lights in the corridor inside the Hyperion suddenly began to flicker. Although still separated by the thick metal wall of the medical cabin, a childish cry still entered the minds of everyone present.
.
This cry was far less powerful than the terrifying psychic scream that the high-level psykers of the Tal'darin Protoss made in this scene, which was enough to explode the heads of human soldiers, but it was enough to leave lingering fears in the hearts of those who heard it.
Immediately afterwards, the lights were completely extinguished, and the corridor was immediately plunged into darkness. Renault, Tychus and others immediately turned on the laser lighters they carried with them, bringing some faint firelight into the dark corridor.
"Damn, a psyker?" Tychus was not a stupid person. He reacted quickly and immediately discovered the key to the problem. In fact, Tychus was far smarter than many of Augustus' men.
There are a lot of things you can do, but you never use them on the right path.
"Damn it Jimmy, how did you end up giving birth to a psyker?"
"Quick! Open the door!" Augustus immediately walked towards the closed door of the medical cabin. However, he soon discovered that the power supply line of the door was damaged and could not be opened at all, so he immediately started the cabin under weak light.
Manual door switch to fire.
This heavy hatch was originally designed to be used as a sealed door that could completely seal and isolate each cabin of the battleship. It was extremely heavy. Even if Augustus had manually opened the hatch, at least two people wearing power armor or
Only the soldiers in the exoskeleton mecha can push it.
"Drink——"
However, at this time, Tychus slowly pushed the heavy hatch of the umbrella alone. The muscles on his back and arms tightened, and the tight muscle curves were comparable to ancient Greek stone sculptures, like cast steel bars.
.
This bad, oily man is always quite reliable when it matters most.
Then, with the joint efforts of Augustus, Renault, Tychus and others, the heavy hatch was opened little by little. The people guarding the outside rushed in, looking for Elizabeth and her son in the dim medical cabin.
and the doctors nearby.
At this moment, several lights in the medical cabin suddenly turned on again. When Augustus saw the doctor holding the baby and Elizabeth's face, he and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
Except for the rosy-faced baby, everyone was livid. The doctors and the mother were at the center of the psychic fluctuations. They relied solely on their will and psychological quality to avoid panicking.
Despite this, the emotions of these people were still greatly affected, and one young female doctor even collapsed to the ground.
If Augustus hadn't had the foresight to specifically transfer all the wounded and patients in nearby cabins to another medical cabin on the Hyperion during Elizabeth's birth, then the birth of Reno's child would have brought about an even greater disaster.
The son of Jim Raynor and Elizabeth Raynor was born in the Hyperion's medical cabin. His first cry mixed with psychic fluctuations triggered a terrifying psychic scream and paralyzed many systems inside the medical cabin, triggering
There was quite a commotion.
The guards and engineers on duty on the Hyperion were rushing towards the medical cabin from various cabins. Many people thought that there was a traitor in the Hyperion.
As more crew members rushed to the medical cabin, Augustus conveyed his orders to stay on duty through the radio communication equipment he carried with him to all decks, cabins and crew cabins. Only Rory Swann and his
Assistant Viktor Kaczynski was called to the medical bay to repair damaged equipment.
"Natural delivery, it's a boy." The doctor holding the child said to Augustus who hurried over.
Augustus first looked at Elizabeth, who was sweating profusely and lying on the hospital bed, and asked her to have a good rest. Then Augustus took the child from the doctor's hands and looked at his eyes carefully.
Smart green eyes and thick eyebrows similar to Renault.
The child was surprisingly shocked when he was held in his arms. He opened his eyes and looked up, and his pupils reflected the ceiling of the Hyperion's medical cabin, which was not very wide.
"John, good boy." Augustus said with a smile. Renault and Augustus had already agreed on what the child should be called if he were a mind.
John is a very common name in the human colony of the New Christian Koprulu Sector. Even in the small town near Renault's home, there are more than a hundred people with this name. But as far as Renault is concerned, this is what he can
The best name imaginable.
"Son, when you were born..."
"Oh - this little baby is so cute." Harnak stuck his head out from behind Augustus's shoulder and interrupted the other person's singing.
"I never thought that this day would come." He said excitedly: "When I was in Shiloh, Jim and I never got along. When I first entered the Turasis boot camp, I almost stepped on it.
His balls - luckily I didn't do that, so Jim should really thank me."
"Let me take a look at this little kid... little Jimmy." Tychus said: "This kid, if I die in the future, it seems that I can only leave the inheritance to my nephew...
If there's anything left."
"Hey, my son won't help you pay the bills." At this time, the child's father, Reno, arrived belatedly because he spent a long time greeting Elizabeth.
Renault looked very happy and couldn't hide the smile on his face. But because of the accident just now, he couldn't smile much.
Including Tychus, who is hard-hearted and thinks he will not show any mercy to any damn little thing, they all like this child. Their hearts are unprecedentedly tender, so much so that they are trying to avoid the fact that this is
The child is a psychic, and judging from the scene when he was born, his psychic power is definitely not low.
"Sarah, John's psychic strength is amazing." After staring into John Raynor's eyes for a few seconds, Augustus said to Kerrigan who was standing next to him: "This is unusual."
"Yes... At present, a person's psychic potential is destined at birth." When Kerrigan looked at John, the other person also looked at her.
Human psychic powers have a kindred resonance with psykers, especially among the top psykers.
"John's psychic talent has reached the entrance level for ghost agents, which means his psychic level definitely exceeds PSI level 5, and I believe the final grade will definitely be higher than this." Kerrigan said.
"A baby still controls his psychic talent, which is one of the reasons why psychics die young." Kerrigan said: "As long as the PSI level reaches or exceeds level 8, if he cannot control his power, then other
Powerful psychic powers and telekinesis can have an indelible impact on others."
"In my impression, in the Ghost Project, a transport ship carrying Ghost Academy students had a tragic accident. A female PSI8 level caused a terrible psychic explosion due to time and space, and hundreds of crew members
More than 80 people died in the screams of those who lost control, and those who survived also had an indelible shadow in their hearts, and they were immersed in the shadow of that accident for life," she said.
"However, there are no reports of level 8 and above psykers killing everyone nearby when they are born. Even level 10 psykers will not have such a thing happen. Most high-level psykers are born with ordinary children.
There is no difference. Their parents have to wait until their children grow up to realize that they are different from others."
"You mean, John's psychic level has probably reached level 8..." Renault did not feel any joy because his son was a psychic. On the contrary, in his opinion, this was not
Something to be happy about.
As promoted by the Tyranid Federation, any federal citizen with psychic potential is obliged to join the Ghost Project and be trained to become a "promising" ghost agent. If their parents are neither a giant planet in a colonial world,
The aristocrats are not the owners of extremely wealthy companies across the galaxy, so they must accept this fact.
Of course, at least Renault doesn't need to worry about the psychic pastors of the Federation Ghost Project taking away his children forcibly, because they are now the largest group of rebels in the Koprulu sector.
"Don't worry, this is not a bad thing." Augustus looked at Renault and said seriously: "I think that a powerful psyker should indeed be taught how to control and use his psychic power, but at least
He should never have been a cold-blooded killer."
"Their abilities should be put into better use, such as forming a department formed by psychics to supervise the entire administrative agency," he said.
"Since you think I am qualified to be John's godfather, then I should take the responsibility of protecting and teaching him. I believe that this child's future achievements will definitely not be lower than any of us."
"There is no doubt that he will become a man."
"I believe it too." Renault nodded: "Augustus, from the moment I saw you in the military camp, every promise you made will be fulfilled."
"There is nothing wrong with trusting you, but when we don't know what to do, as long as we follow you, we won't lose our way."
"..." Augustus laughed and handed John over to his father.
"Jimmy, I dare say that this is definitely not your genes." Just when Renault started to stir up emotion, Tychus suddenly jumped out.
"If you had any psychic talent, your marksmanship would be half that of Rick Kidd."
"Hell-" Reno, who was holding his son, immediately retorted.
