From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

In the cleavage space;

This place is like an insubstantial tunnel, and the barrier that separates it from the physical universe is like the sea surface rippled by wind and waves, projecting a shimmering light, giving people an indescribable sense of calm.

The civilian transport ship with "Aldrin·Dejia Shipping/Plenty Star" printed on both sides of the hull is sailing in this jump space "torn" and "carved" by Xiao Tengchuan's engine. Heading towards the settlement of Arcadia.

At this moment, there are only three crew members on duty on the bridge to ensure the normal operation of the Aldrin.

On the main screen in front of the helmsman, it displays:

"Main universe time: 2001/03/03

Zero-Eight Universe Time: 2511/03/03

Distance to destination: approximately 0.37 light years"

This showed that they had been sailing in the interspace for four full days since they left Harvest.

suddenly!

Buzz-buzz.!

The hull of the ship actually shook violently.

Even the tea cup placed on the control table splashed tea water on the metal deck due to the shaking.

!

Sensing the anomaly, the three crew members quickly sat down and called up various data on the navigation status.

?

However, after a comprehensive inspection, they found that all the data was normal and there were no potential risks or threats.

What is going on?

The three crew members were all confused.

They were originally the crew of the Fiddes-class frigate, but in order to cooperate with the investigation department's infiltration reconnaissance mission, they received special training from the intelligent AI Apu, disguised as employees of the local shipping company on Harvest Star, and carried nearly fifty passengers. Thousands of tons of cargo rushed to Arcadia.

As for how Apu appeased UNCS and UEG and made the outside world think that the situation in Harvest was stable, and how he facilitated this transaction, they did not consider it.

However, they were experienced personnel who had participated in the interception of the Reaper mothership. However, in just four days after entering the jump space, they frequently encountered shaking like just now.

But all the data show that everything is normal, this...

Could it be that warships and ships sailing in the jump space will also encounter the bumps of traditional shipping?

Or is it a unique situation in tethered space?

After the inspection was correct, they simply stopped worrying and recorded the shaking just now, and let the company's technical personnel analyze it after returning to Harvest Star.

In a single cabin on the Aldrin;

Beep-beep!

The blaring cell phone alarm clock echoed in this slightly cramped dormitory.

"."

Someone lying on the fixed bed stretched out his hand from the quilt, fumbled for the mobile phone placed beside the pillow, and used muscle memory to touch the screen to turn off the alarm clock that was intruding on his dream.

It took a while.

Only then did the man completely lift the quilt, revealing his messy golden hair and a handsome face.

Judging from his appearance, you can tell that he is Leon S. Kennedy, one of the elite investigators.

Leon, who had just fallen asleep, actually woke up instantly when the Aldrin encountered unknown turbulence.

However, after waiting for a while and not hearing the alarm, he relaxed his guard, covered himself with quilt and continued to sleep soundly.

Even though they have been genetically enhanced, Leon and all the investigators still belong to the category of "ordinary people" and cannot be separated from rest, diet and excretion.

Open your eyes.

Leon first looked through the porthole and looked at the jump tunnel outside.

Then, he stood up and left the fixed bed, walked to the closet and put on a pair of gray work clothes native to Harvest Star.

I straightened my hair in front of the mirror and returned it to a middle-parted style, then passed through the automatic sensor door and came to the deck corridor, which was also slightly narrow.

"Oh, my brother, you finally woke up? Why, looking at your sluggish look, are you dreaming about Director Wang?!"

Hearing the familiar teasing coming from behind, Leon knew it was his old partner Mike without looking back.

"Stop talking nonsense"

Leon shook his head and went to the canteen in the lower area with Mike.

"Hahaha!"

Mike raised his hand, put it on Leon's shoulder habitually, and said with a smile:

"Stand up, there will be many opportunities to invite directors in the future. By the way, we should be the first people in the company to sail in the stratosphere, tsk tsk

Ten years ago, I wouldn't have dared to imagine traveling at the speed of light. "

"Indeed." Leon agreed.

"correct."

At this time, Mike took out the investigator's exclusive mobile phone from the pocket of his overalls, unlocked the screen, opened the photo album, and showed Leon a photo of himself and a beautiful woman.

"This is not that"

Leon always felt that the woman looked very familiar.

"Lori Fox, a contracted actor from the company's entertainment department! How about it? Does my girlfriend make you envious and jealous?" Mike put away his phone and introduced it proudly.

Hearing what Mike said, Leon unconsciously compared Lori Fox with Ada.

Well, the director's appearance and temperament are better, no, he should be crushed.

Come back to your senses.

Leon, who had already passed the escalator with Mike and reached the lower area, frowned slightly and warned his friend:

"When you have a girlfriend, you have to be more careful and never reveal the company's secrets."

"Don't worry, do you think I'm an immature rookie?" Mike patted Leon on the shoulder:

"You have to believe in the review capabilities of the company's entertainment department. The Fox family is absolutely blameless, and there is no problem with Lowry's character.

Also, after my body is strengthened, I cannot get drunk or talk in my sleep, which prevents accidental leaks from the source. If I consider getting married, I can talk to her about signing the confidentiality agreement of our investigation department so that she can truly Learn about my life. "

"That's good." Leon nodded.

As early as the late 80s in the main universe, Atlas' entertainment department had become the "overlord" in the American entertainment industry.

As Mike said, signed artists need to be screened through layers of screening and final review before they are officially hired. There are no "hidden rules" or "sky-high endorsement fees" and other ugly inside stories.

Of course, the reason why the entertainment department is so clean is that as soon as the ugly side shows signs of appearing, it is secretly eliminated by the violent agencies affiliated with the regulatory department and disappears.

It is true that such deterrence brings fear, but it is also very effective in ensuring the implementation of the rules.

During the conversation, the two came to the cafeteria.

But they did not pick up the metal dinner plates to cook, but went straight to the fixed dining table where Maggie Shaw, more than a dozen elite investigators who had gone to Arcadia together, and Fulgrim were sitting.

And Fulgrim, who plays Mike's cousin, deliberately dyed his white hair into black.

Mike stopped at the dining table, restrained his previous laughter when facing Leon, and said in a serious tone:

"Everyone, the Aldrin is about to arrive in Arcadia, and then the Aldrin will have a five-Earth-day resting period.

We need to take advantage of this repair period to conduct reconnaissance on the surface while pretending to be employees and their families relaxing on vacation, visiting the beautiful scenery of Arcadia.

In order to avoid exposure, we are not allowed to carry any weapons or electronic devices produced by the company before taking the orbital elevator to the surface, including the exclusive mobile phones of our investigators, so after this meeting, please lock your personal devices In the sleeping cabin.
