Crimson Cross Observatory

"...Find the scientific officer named... Mia, and just hand over the goods to her." Akasha's four arms were busy preparing weapons, and two short knives were stuffed into each side of her legs. , hid two short guns behind her waist, and finally brought another one on her back, not satisfied. Every time before leaving the Southern Bow, she always prepared all the weapons as if she was ready to go to war at any time. , Akasha would feel insecure.

"I have entered the genetic characteristics of that Mia scientific officer into your portable scanner. As long as there is a suitable candidate, the instrument will automatically remind you." While explaining, he adjusted the watch-like instrument in Nanda's hand , Nineteen said in a simple and clear way, he really took care of all the chores on the Nangong, and he was able to multitask and handle many things at the same time.

"I hate this part..., why do you have to send out sneaky goods every time? The Swinsky family is really sick...." Impatiently adjusted his "wrist watch", the little crooked Rolling his eyes and chattering endlessly, it's not so much that he hates transporting goods, it's not that he doesn't like dealing with "people", he just likes to stay in the engine room, next to the reactor, even if it's to clean up the hull of the South Bow The outer shell is more comfortable than getting along with strangers. After all, he knows the South Bow, and the South Bow will never betray him.

"Don't talk to a race you don't know. You don't know if it will anger them. Our task is to deliver the goods to the Mia Science Officer in a low-key manner..." Turning around, Nineteen kindly reminded, taking advantage of the situation He put an adjusted "wrist watch" on Lin Sen's hand.

"Hey..., that brat is just a passenger." He hurriedly wanted to stop him, but he didn't expect Nineteen to be one step ahead of her. Akasha could only watch helplessly as the "wrist watch" was firmly attached to Lin Sen as if it would recognize its owner. Now, apart from him, there is no one else who can use this communication translator. Akasha gave Shiji a fierce look. Lost a newest communication translator.

"You will need him. I have scanned it. There are many life reactions in the Crimson Cross Observatory. You need people to find Mia Science Officer." Not worried at all that Akasha would be really angry, Nineteen made Your judgment is always the most correct and effective.

"Can't you adjust the monitors on the South Bow? It's too time-consuming to find a needle in a haystack." Frowning, Nanda stared at the old space station through the viewing window.They shuttled among the stars, and they have seen too many ancient space stations similar to the Crimson Cross Observatory. Although it is called an abandoned and forgotten space station, it looks like it is floating alone in space, but it is full of people. Life force, wandering smugglers and pirates like them, love to find supplies in this kind of space station, and naturally evolved another social norm.

"Someone deliberately set up an interference frequency to prevent us from locking on a single genetic feature." He replied calmly. Long before Nanda asked, Nineteen had already done various scans and tried to break through the interference, but the erector's skills were good. It will take him a while to successfully lock the genes of Mia's scientific officers. Unfortunately, what they lack most is time, and they can only enter the space station to search and test at close range.

"No surprise, if I'm spending money in the space station, I don't want others to easily lock me in. The owner of this space station is responsible." Akasha nodded understandingly, and picked up Lin Sen's clothes. After leading the person into the small boat, she saw her crew also entering in a single file, starting their final journey of delivering the goods.

"Nineteen, make the Nanbow invisible behind that satellite..." Sitting on the driver's seat of the boat, Nanda pointed to a medium-sized satellite not far away, big enough to cover the Nanbow, Before they find the recipient, they will not take the communication translator with them rashly. He believes that other people staying in the space station are also like this. They deliberately hide their warships and only drive small boats. Enter the space station.

"Invisibility? Will the Southern Bow become invisible? Didn't the Cross Star Federation prohibit the development of this technology?" Lin Sen widened his eyes in astonishment, he couldn't believe what he heard. These people are really criminals, and they are brazenly developing Cross Technology banned by the Alliance.

"The Cross Star Alliance is really a group of stupid people. What's wrong with invisibility? It's simple and practical, but it's banned because it's not upright? It's so stupid that I can't imagine it! Just like you fool!" Rolling his eyes angrily again, Xiao Wai took a lot of effort to let the South Bow have this technology, and he will never allow anyone to question his improvements.

He closed his eyes and paused for a while as if in "meditation". The Nanbow automatically flew towards the direction Nanda was pointing at. Only after she disappeared completely did Nineteen open those beautiful pink eyes. Lin Sen stared at him very rudely, and for a moment, he felt that the other party's pupils glowed with a strange red light.

"Okay! Remember, after finding Mia Science Officer, notify other people immediately, don't cause a commotion, we are just here to deliver the goods!" He patted Lin Sen on the shoulder heavily, and Akasha warned with eyes Well, she didn't want to cause any trouble because of this hitchhiker.

With a hiss, after the pressure was balanced, the cabin door of the Crimson Cross Observation Station opened automatically. The security officer in charge frowned slightly, and his tall and strong figure seemed to move a few steps, habitually occupying it. An easy-to-defend position.

"Ah...it's well maintained here..." Unlike the security officer who takes every step of the way, the Miya science officer is like a child getting a new toy. He can't help but be excited and curious. He doesn't care if it's dangerous or not. He takes the lead rushed out.

The crew responsible for protecting the safety of the scientific officer naturally followed without saying a word, and the group formally entered the Crimson Cross Observation Station.To their surprise, the space station, which looks very old on the outside, exudes a "fresh" atmosphere inside, and a soft purple light blooms in the corridor, which is a bit blurred and more dreamy, as if entering a place that makes people feel uncomfortable. A place of nostalgia and loss of mind.

"Someone,... Be careful!" The sensor beeped a warning, and the security officer looked at his "wrist watch" solemnly. After a while, he saw two people of unknown race coming towards them, whispering to each other. During the intense discussion, they didn't notice Miya and the other uninvited guests, who quickly passed by and walked away.

"Who are those people?" The crew member who stopped in front of Miya's science officer and protected him asked in a low voice. He had served in the Cross Star Alliance fleet for several years and had never seen people of that race before, so he endured Can't help being curious.

"It may be race number 1348, but I'm not sure. I've only seen it once in the file, and I haven't actually touched it." Shaking his head, Mia's science officer showed a look of wanting to come forward to talk, and the security officer saw it. Immediately took her arm and dragged it forward.

"We are here to understand the internal situation of the space station." The tone reminded in a low voice with some dissatisfaction. The security officer actually did not agree with this proposal. The Crimson Cross Observatory is full of dragons and snakes. They shouldn't choose to talk to Povars in this kind of place. people negotiate.

Reluctantly waving her hands, Mia's scientific officer struggled to break free. She also knew the mission of this trip, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get to know other races up close, and even get in touch with those races that have not yet joined the Cross Star Federation. She Say nothing and don't want to miss it.

"Oh...this is really like a lounge bar on a ship, I will definitely love this place..."

Turning around in the space station quietly, there are many different races active in the Crimson Cross Observation Station, but they have no intersection with each other. It is purely that they came here to replenish supplies and then left immediately. According to the judgment of the security officer Finally, he thought there was no danger, and decided to negotiate with the Povars here according to the plan.

"There should be a slightly hidden place like a meeting room here?" Although it has been completely rebuilt, the Crimson Cross Observatory still retains its original appearance. The security officer frowned, and he agreed to negotiate here , but still don't want to choose a place where people come and go too openly.

"Well, I see, I'll be in charge, you go back to Suanni and prepare!" Nodding, Mia Science Officer took over this task, dealing with other races, which was originally her job, on the other hand, she also To be responsible for receiving the goods, the Cross Star Alliance ordered a batch of brand new communication translators from the Swinsky family before departure, but the Crimson Cross Observation Station is not an abandoned space station as planned. So she has to spend some time connecting with the delivery person.

The security officer looked at Science Officer Miya solemnly for a while. The security officer was worried about leaving a helpless young woman here alone, so he sent several guards to follow her closely. The latter reassured him gratefully. Nodding as if, then walked into the casual bar that every space station will have.

It can be called a bar full of people. The bartender who looks mysterious and can't tell the gender has prepared drinks suitable for everyone. The pupils covered with a gray film are not easy to communicate with Mia. On the right, he gave her a glass of ice-cold drink with blue bubbles after a slight smile.

"First time?" Opened his mouth, the voice of the bartender still couldn't tell the gender, Mia's scientific officer smiled casually, and based on the light gray complexion of the other party, deduced which galaxy the other party came from, which race.

"You know?" Taking a shallow sip of the strange drink, Miya's scientific officer found the slightly stimulating taste, sliding down the esophagus, which unexpectedly made her feel relaxed and uplifted.

"As long as I have seen it once, I will never forget it." Wiping the glass, the bartender replied with a slight smile. Officer Miya took another sip and put the glass back on the bar. Her real intention was to Looking for a place to negotiate, the bartender pointed in a direction that he seemed to understand. Although it was not a completely confined space, it was enough. The Mia science officer smiled gratefully and trotted in that direction.

After Mia's science officer and her team walked away, several other people gathered around, looked at the direction she was leaving, and talked telepathically if they had any deep meaning.

"The people from the Cross Star Alliance?" Looking at the bartender, he asked in a low and hoarse voice. The next few people seemed to have deliberately disguised them, and they could still vaguely see their distinctive appearance.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and then nodded. The bartender didn't want to cause trouble for himself. Later, those people were clearly warriors from the Kempa Empire. The Kempa Empire and the Cross Star Federation hated each other. Stop, absolutely nothing good will happen.

"It seems... our intelligence is correct. The Cross Star Alliance has really connected with races in other quadrants. The next step is to discuss ways to deal with "Absolute Darkness"...." Another warrior of the Kempa Empire said, The voice is also low and hoarse, and the tone is involuntarily resentful. The Kemper Empire was originally extremely powerful. If it were not for the heavy casualties in the "Battle of Sickle", and the race number 9527 raging on their territory, they not fading.The Kemper Empire has been trying to revive. This time, they intercepted the communication link between the Povals and the Cross Star Alliance, intending to disrupt their negotiations and further strive for the opportunity to form an alliance with the Povals. They want to prove that they are willing The Pa empire is the most powerful race in the interstellar world.

"Contact our people and monitor when the Povars will arrive. This time we can't let the Cross Star Alliance succeed!"

Not good at operating the new communication translator, Lin Sen studied with Shijiu, and helped find the "Miya Science Officer" on the one hand.This is the first time he is far away from the colonial planet. Everything in the Crimson Cross Observatory is extremely novel to him. The people passing by are all strange races. It turns out that the universe is so big. If you stay in the First Academy of Sciences He must have never had the opportunity to see all this with his own eyes. This journey has strengthened his belief in wandering among the stars. He wants to go to more distant places to contact and discover more novel and strange things.

"Well... I have a reaction, in this direction." Staring at the communication translator on the wrist, after adjustment, the genetic characteristics of "Mia Science Officer" were read out, Nineteen calmly reminded, and walked quickly past.

"...Can I ask a question?" Following closely behind Nineteen, Lin Sen looked at him curiously. Although he knew that this look was rude, he still couldn't help asking.He had never seen a creature like Nineteen, and he didn't even know whether he should call him a "creature", because he got closer, and he found that Nineteen didn't need to breathe, and there was no so-called heartbeat, but it didn't Not all races have these behaviors, so Lin Sen is not sure what he encountered. He thought that Akasha would not be so bold. In addition to using the forbidden technology of "invisibility", he also used artificial creatures and artificial intelligence. Wait for another disabled product.

"If you want to ask me if I'm an artificial creature, I'm not!...As for which race I am, it's hard to explain." Looking at Lin Sen, as if calculating something, Nineteen replied gently.

"I'm just curious, what does it feel like to wander among the stars?"

"You want to wander among the stars? Why?"

"I don't know, there seems to be a voice in my body that keeps urging me to do this... I don't want to stay on the ground."

"Then please ask Akasha to let you stay. With a battleship of the Nanbow class, our crew is far from enough."

Shaking his head helplessly, Lin Sen didn't understand why Akasha insisted that he would be troublesome, but he has a gentle personality and can't do things that are difficult for others, not to mention that Akasha has been very kind to him and gave him a ride for free. In a place as lively as the Crimson Cross Observatory, he shouldn't cause her more inconvenience.

"Don't be so disappointed. I have been traveling among the stars for a long time, and I have gained a wonderful experience. Things in the world often develop in unexpected directions." He patted Lin Sen on the shoulder comfortingly. Nineteen trusted his intuition, From the very first sight, he felt that Lin Sen would be entangled with them, and Akasha must not be able to easily get rid of this idiot who would cause trouble.

"Are you simply wanting to drink, or are you really here to find someone?" Nanda asked blankly while accompanying Akasha. He didn't like the Crimson Cross Observatory very much, except that he was too dragon-like. Outside the miscellaneous place, the blood-stained appearance made him feel unpleasant, as if he could smell the stench floating in the air.

"There are so many people, how do you find them? It's better to leave such troublesome things to Nineteen." She laughed as a matter of course, and Akasha's proud expression made Nanda frowned uncontrollably. It is not suitable to be a captain, because she has no sense of responsibility, but the crew of the South Bow are devoted to her, including himself. Akasha is such a wonderful combination of spears and eyebrows, which makes people think Follow her on an adventure, because she's always going to make a bigger mess for you to clean up.

After approaching the bar, the bartender quietly handed over a glass of golden transparent liquid with bubbling bubbles. Akasha raised her head and drank it up proudly without even thinking about it. Take a drink, followed by a burst of relaxation.

On the other end, Nanda stared at his wrist solemnly, adjusted the communication translator and reacted fiercely, aiming at a half-drunk cup that was still emitting blue bubbles.

"Who has drunk it?" Pointing to the cup, Nanda asked blankly. The bartender pointed in a certain direction, and Akasha blinked in surprise. It was so easy to find someone?It's so effortless!

Just about to go forward to "recognize" Science Officer Mia, Akasha just moved a step, Nanda stopped her vigilantly, and smacked in another direction.

"Who is that? This...is it too much of a failure to pretend?" Akasha rolled her eyes angrily as she stared at the sneaky men who surrounded her. She knew that certain races were good at disguising, but This kind of covert technology that cannot be put on the table must not be those few races that appear and disappear. The disguise is so bad, it is better to stop pretending, it is embarrassing.

"The Kemper Empire, they have always had a grudge against the Cross Star Alliance." Frowning, Nanda hesitated whether to go forward to warn the police, the science officer named Miya obviously did not notice the danger.

"Damn!... There must be no accident before we deliver the goods. As for after receiving the final payment... let them fight!" Narrowing his eyes dangerously, Akasha twitched the corners of his mouth, and drew out the short gun behind his waist to bully him.
