Cyberpunk: Spartan Walker

The corrected date is September 3, 2552 in the military calendar (the time flow rate is abnormal). Go to the Yinchu Medical Laboratory in the jump fault space of Nalan Star in Zhonghai.

There is only a desk and experimental benches on the left and right sides. Various instruments and bottles and jars related to treatment are placed on the experimental bench. The pungent smell of disinfectant is everywhere.

The white pressure door slid open to both sides, and Dr. Jonsson walked in holding a handheld computer.

You should go to sleep as soon as possible. I will sort out the remaining data. She said to her assistants.

Yes, doctor.

Watching them leave the laboratory, Dr. Jonsson came to the refrigerator where the cloned organs were stored, took out a can of soda from a hidden corner inside, pulled the tab with a squeak sound, raised his head and took a sip, and then let out a satisfied sound. The sigh.

Of course her diet in the laboratory was not up to standard, but she didn't care - if she were such a person, she would not have been sent to Omega Hydra, located on the edge of the near-Earth colony star field, for conducting unethical experiments. The fifth planet in the galaxy.

Dr. Jonsson sat at her desk, stretched out comfortably, put on her black-rimmed glasses with auxiliary computing functions, stared at the monitor on the desk and continued her research.

Although the Yinchu has entered the slip space, she does not intend to waste this precious uninterrupted time. Not long ago, she replaced Rebecca and Kamano Nana with the UNSC standard neural interface. The large amount of data obtained from it has not yet been analyzed, and she is also very interested in the changes that occurred in the two people's bodies after inserting the neural chip.

Focusing on the analysis results in front of her, after an unknown amount of time, she felt like she heard a slight click sound. Dr. Jonson didn't pay attention at first, thinking it was the normal vibration noise made by the ship in slip space, but soon the noise made her unable to concentrate.

What the hell is that noise? The glasses were thrown on the table with a bang, and she followed the sound and rummaged around the laboratory.

The doctor finally locked a cabinet and took out the palm-sized instrument that was rattling inside - an old-fashioned Geiger-Miller counter. God knows why someone would put this antique that was hundreds of years ago. Collection here.

The pointer above stopped at 3.6 roentgen and stopped moving, but Dr. Jonsson did not dare to be careless at all, because this was the maximum value that the counter could reach.

The doctor returned to her desk and put on her glasses again and started the radiation measurement program inside. The result shocked her - 97 roentgens and 103 roentgens, and it was still rising rapidly.

Something must be throwing out radioactive material here.

She paced back and forth in the office, locating the object based on small changes in values.

She dug out a small safe covered with 10mm Grade A titanium alloy armor, entered the password, and the small door clicked open, revealing the two crystals inside. At this time, the black piece was emitting a dazzling light.

Dr. Jonsson tapped his glasses and read the prescription again. The radiation intensity had reached an astonishing 1,369 roentgens, and was rising even faster.

She quickly pulled out a lead glass cover, inserted the crystal into it, then retrieved her own metagenomic data and imported it into the rapid cloning box next to her for self-cloning - the doctor knew her face, neck and body shape without looking in the mirror. The hands must be blood red because there is a burning sensation coming from these parts.

She did not stop while waiting for the clone, but connected the energy analyzer to the glass cover. Judging from the exponential arc formed by the measurement data on the coordinate axis, this crystal was constantly charging, but she could not find the specific reason.

Dr. Jonsson found a whole box of carbonated drinks from the cabinet at the bottom of his desk and stuffed them all into the refrigerator - it should take him almost a month to initially figure out the mystery.

——

The dormitory room of the Yongzhao.

The ice layer on the inside of the dormant hatch faded away, and nutritious surfactant for inhalation was sprayed into the small space.

Tommy, who was lying inside, took a sharp breath, and then his eyes widened.

Ahem. He woke up from the hibernation cabin not once or twice, but he still wasn't used to the smell - it was like the vomit of a drunkard late at night mixed with the corpse of a rat that died a week ago, almost like The smell stayed in my nose for hours.

He pulled the overhead manual release, pushed open the hatch, and jumped out with agility.

Did you sleep well? Ellie's voice came from the communicator in the helmet.

In order to cope with possible dangers after waking up, he put on the Thor's Hammer armor before entering hibernation.

Thanks to you, it's not bad. Tommy looked around. He seemed to be the first one to be awakened in this cabin.

Thanks to me—— Ellie trailed off, Did you dream about me?

That's understandable. Tommy left the sleeping room, came to the elevator, and pressed the button to go to the bridge.

Did we do anything shy? Her tone was full of playfulness.

.No. The Marines guarding the bridge door saluted him, and he saluted back.

What a pity. She sighed deeply, as if she really missed something.

The bridge's pressure door slid open, and it could be seen that the officers responsible for key positions were already seated at their respective posts, while some auxiliary technicians had not yet arrived.

Major, how is the situation? Tommy came to Di Qing's side. She always liked to stand rather than sit down comfortably.

We will enter the regular space soon, sir. Di Qing looked up at the timer, There are still twenty minutes.

Tommy nodded, knowing that it would not make any difference, so he walked to a corner and watched them busy.

With the arrival of other personnel on the bridge, the place gradually became a little crowded.

As soon as Nana Kamano entered the bridge, she saw Tommy standing by the door. She walked quickly, stood at attention, and said delicately: Reporting to you, sir!

At ease, Warrant Officer Kamano Nana. It would seem strange to address him without a military rank in this environment. This weapon is for your self-defense.

Thank you, sir! Nana Kamano smiled and took the M6D Magnum pistol handed over by Tommy.

Tommy patted her shoulder and smiled helplessly. Although Nana Kamano seemed completely unprepared for the battlefield, Tommy hoped that she would never need to make such preparations. As long as she returned to Earth safely, she would eventually work as a peripheral clerk in the first department of the Military Intelligence Bureau. alright.

Captain Di, we will enter the regular space in thirty seconds. Ellie's voice brought Tommy back from his thoughts.

Lieutenant Lucius, be prepared to communicate with Zhonghai Nalanxing and ask them to send a maintenance space station over as soon as possible. Di Qing ordered.

As you command, sir.

The floor-to-ceiling windows were gradually covered with dark green light, and stars came into view. A giant azure planet takes up one-third of the starboard camera screen.

The entire bridge suddenly fell into dead silence, only the officers' heartbeats and breathing became louder and louder. There was a Covenant cruiser, a destroyer and a frigate floating in the sky above the Blue Star in Zhonghai.

They have a beast-like outline, with insect-like tentacles and purple shells hanging below. At this time, the bottom of the Covenant cruiser was wide open, and troop carriers like a swarm of mosquitoes swarmed down and headed straight for the Blue Star in the middle sea. It seemed that they had just arrived here not long ago.

There was no time to figure out why the Covenant people didn't just burn Zhonghai Nalan Star into glass. Di Qing slapped the holographic command platform with a bang, waking up the stunned bridge personnel.

Lieutenant Lucius, try to contact the nearby UNSC units to see if there are any ships that can help. Di Qing felt that her entire back was soaked with cold sweat - a UNSC frigate and a covenant ship She was still very confident about the human frigate, but adding another cruiser? She never thought about it!

Yes, sir! Lieutenant Lucius almost growled, typing furiously on the keyboard in front of him, as if doing so would make the program run faster.

Di Qing glanced at the starboard display and saw the Covenant frigates and destroyers rushing towards the Yongzhu one after another. There was a long distance between them, and she felt that her blood was about to solidify.

Lieutenant Theodore, execute the Cole Protocol immediately, clear our navigation database, and then calculate a trajectory around the fifth planet.

The fifth planet in the ω galaxy is tens of millions of kilometers away from them. Di Qing plans to use the gravitational slingshot effect to achieve instant acceleration while the Covenant ship is still far away from them, and then jump away from the Covenant ship. Ship pursuit.

But sir, what should we do about the residents of Zhonghaina Blue Star? Lieutenant Theodore asked Di Qing hurriedly while loading the virus program into the navigation database.

Information obtained from the Arasaka database shows that Nakahaina Blue Star has more than 10 million residents. This was only a few decades ago, and it will only be more now.

We have no choice. Di Qing shook her head. If they knew there were human ships here, support from the Covenant people would arrive soon, and they would not be able to protect themselves.

Second Lieutenant Matsuno Kenta, charge the magnetic accelerator cannon, Lieutenant Hicks, all--

Sir! The reactor chain reaction has stalled and the main thruster is offline! Hicks shouted in panic.

Di Qing suddenly remembered the purpose of coming to Zhonghaina Blue Star.

Second Lieutenant Kenta Matsuno, who had just completed the charging operation, turned pale and slumped in his seat, muttering some meaningless words.

The Covenant frigate arrived within its range, and its sides began to flash with countless red lights, like a group of imps thrashing and struggling in hell. The high-mounted beta particle detector in the bridge sounded a shrill alarm-these alien monsters' plasma weapons were about to be fired.
