From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

In the cabin.

An AECS elite captain was sitting near the hatch. His left breastplate was engraved with the name plate number, military rank, and the name "Jaynes Thomson".

This veteran, who had participated in the interception of the Reaper mothership and was promoted to lieutenant, naturally followed the company's arrangements and dispatches after his vacation and continued to "conquer the north and south."

And under the helmet at this moment;

Jaynes's face was calm, and his eyes even showed some expectation.

He is just thirty-six now, in the prime of his life, not to mention having been injected with the Inquise serum, so he has no thoughts of retiring or decommissioning.

But after his old friend Rod Hoynder was injured and retired, Jaynes always felt empty inside.

Or, after the unification operation of Universe 08 is completed, let the company help with the "blind date", find a suitable partner, and live the rest of your life peacefully?

The "blind date" service provided by the company is not as unreliable as in society, or it has repeatedly encountered fraud and deception.

After all, employees and soldiers who work for Atlas, especially those involved in core secrets, have little free time to deal with emotional issues.

Therefore, the company's human resources department will add questions such as "What is your current relationship status?" and "If conditions permit, are you willing to find a partner?" in the questionnaire every year and every quarter.

Once filled in, the quantum computer developed by the scientific research department based on the quantum model extended by condensed matter technology will identify employees and soldiers who are interested in finding a partner based on their past consumption habits and message styles on the company's internal forums. There are also various phases for big data matching.

Take back the somewhat distant mood.

Secondly, everyone needs to pay attention to their distance to avoid being approached by the Flood's infected form.

After that, if employees or soldiers who answered "single" or "intended" in the questionnaire proactively seek emotional assistance from the company

That is to say, "blind date", then the personnel department will carry out further detailed matching.

He looked back at the real-time information displayed on the helmet screen.

"Everyone, listen. After the Pelican takes us to the surface, we will immediately build a defensive front in the southwest of the landing zone to cover our intelligent AI from entering the surface facilities built by the Forerunners to find those who have entered the shield world. aisle.

Even in the wild, they pose a great threat.

Maybe, right, he can also find a beautiful actress to start a family?

The main reason is that Jaynes was a little melancholy due to encounters in bars and nightclubs. There was no truth at all, and it would also affect the company's confidentiality measures.

You must know that the so-called actors and singers signed by the Ministry of Entertainment are actually also in the big data of the quantum computer.

Seeing that the numbers in the content "Distance to Shield World 0459 surface remaining: about 40 kilometers, about 39 kilometers" continued to decrease, Jaynes cleared his throat and ordered on the team communication:

"Yes, sir." A group of AESC elites responded in unison.

However, with two original bodies and twenty Thunder Warriors accompanying them, if there is an emergency, self-protection and evacuation should not be a big problem.

Because Flood Demons are not creatures that can be defeated by relying on morale or ruthlessness. They will not be afraid, let alone have the thought of being timid or retreating.

The company's intelligence department has given everyone detailed "strategies", such as spores/infections, combat, what the Flood's mother form looks like, and how to deal with it, etc.

After hearing the reply, Jaynes did not say some joking words as usual, or laugh and curse to adjust the atmosphere.

It didn't take long.

Judging from this, Jaynes really wants the company to help.

Remember, once the infected needle penetrates the combat uniform, you will be killed in battle. Do you understand it? "

Looking at the thumbnail displayed on the right side of the helmet, although Jaynes looked forward to fighting and earning merit, he also did not want his subordinates to suffer heavy losses again.

"Thirty seconds, all combatants, please be ready."

The pilot's reminder came through the communication. Jaynes and more than 60 AECS elites stood up one after another and turned on the magnetic boots to fix themselves on the cabin deck.

Boom, boom—the landing gear made contact with the ground.

Swish - the rear hatch opened, and turbid air flowed into the cabin.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Jaynes took the lead and was the first to rush out of the cabin.

After running more than ten meters, he squatted on the ground and observed the surrounding environment and dynamics.

The landing area is a lawn, the southwest side they are responsible for guarding is a dense jungle, and behind them to the north is a "city" with many tall buildings.

Moreover, the area they were in was obviously well greened, but there were many fine dust vaguely visible to the naked eye in the air, and the entire sky was shrouded in earthy gray.

boom--!

At this time, with the strong airflow behind them, the troop carrier Pelican responsible for carrying them quickly took off and prepared to hover at high altitude to provide them with reconnaissance and necessary fire assistance.

Jaynes glanced at the thumbnail map in the upper left corner of the helmet screen and saw that including them, there were four reinforced combat platoons of AECS and ODST deployed in four corners in the landing area.

The original body and the Thunder Warriors, as well as the two most important things they need to protect, the two intelligent AIs with physical bodies, are located in the center of the landing zone.

Seeing this, Jaynes turned around and saw that Apu and Melissa were also wearing airtight protective suits and full-coverage mechanical skeletons, but they were not equipped with any weapons.

"."

Well, let's wait and see, don't be in a hurry to go on a "blind date".

Before the company opened the eighth space gate, it published graphic and textual information about synthetic humans on its internal official website and forums.

Now that he has witnessed artificial intelligence that is indistinguishable from humans, Jaynes realizes that maybe synthetic humans would be a better choice?

I just don’t know how the company will solve the problem of artificial sperm and artificial eggs.

Look back.

Jaynes saw that the results of the motion detection and pulse scanning were normal, so he stood up and reported: "There is nothing unusual about No. 4, it is safe."

"Security No. 2."

"Same as No. 1."

"So is No. 3."

Hearing this, Vulkan, who was in the center of the landing zone, carried the Frost Hammer behind him and headed towards the Forerunner city, ordering:

"No. 3 and No. 4 stay here to ensure that the landing zone is correct. No. 1 and No. 2 please cooperate with the Thunder Warriors and the Primarch Riemann to go to the target city for reconnaissance and sweeps."

"Yes."

Everyone acted according to Vulcan's arrangements.

AECS, which has strong comprehensive capabilities, is responsible for guarding the rear, and ODST, which is good at frontal attacks, will continue to advance.

"Leave it to me! Brother!"

Riemann, whose power armor is mainly painted in black and decorated with gray blue and yellow, is holding an exclusive 1.75 cal caliber bolt gun and a sword with blue lightning, one step ahead of ODST and Thunder Warriors. , rushed into the outskirts of the Forerunner city.
