[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

"Forgive us for not bringing this up earlier, but Bucky and I finally decided it would be better to tell you guys about it," Kelly said. "In short, Captain Picard, the Romulans have one of yours." clones."

"What?" Captain Picard and Spock asked in unison.Kelly shrugged: "I don't know when they got a little body sample of you-I guess it's not very difficult? Then they cultivated a replicant, and they want to wait for him to grow up, quietly Noisily replace you with him and infiltrate the Star Federation. However, following the change of the Romulan government, the plan was scrapped. The child was abandoned at a very young age and sent to the planet Remanth. Tirisai mining area, where they did hard labor. This should have happened a few years ago."

"A few years ago, the Romulan government did experience a coup." Spock nodded. "The new government is more friendly to the Star Alliance, and I was only allowed to become the Vulcan ambassador to the Romulans after the new government took office. But what you said... ...it's just too unbelievable."

"I understand that you don't really believe me. The reason why you all fully support the supernova investigation is because the consequences of this event are too serious, so you have to be careful and prevent it in advance." Kelly said, "But This child, although his identity may be classified as a secret, is not undocumented. To be honest, I have always been hesitant - if I don't interfere with this matter, in the future I see, he will unite with Reman Sinians, stage a coup together, and attack the Starfederation. I'm afraid it's too late to intervene at this point to reverse his character, knowing that if he decides to wreak havoc on the Enterprise, maybe he can pull the Starfleet. But I also feel that there are still nine years before the coup, he is still a child at the moment - I am also a mother, if I let it go, or just eliminate this threat... I can't do this kind of thing .”

"So we think it's better to tell you about this matter." Bucky interjected, "You know yourself best, Captain Picard. Do you think we should take the risk of rescuing your clone body? A chance to develop him into a man of integrity like you?"

Picard lowered his head and pondered for a moment.After about a minute, he raised his head and looked at Spock: "Mr. Spock, if this is true, how likely are we to rescue him?"

"My influence in the Romulans is very limited. I'm afraid it will be difficult to interfere in their internal affairs, especially with a child involved in such a sensitive plan. As far as official channels are concerned, I would think the probability is less than 5%." Spock said, "However , I have been to the planet Rymans. It is a barren and chaotic place, especially the underground prison, because the prisoners have no way to escape, and it is difficult to reach the nearby cities alive after escaping. So, I would suggest that we go from there Start."

"Then let's start from there." Captain Picard stood up and rang the communicator: "This is the captain. Rick, Wolfe, Data, meet me in the second conference room. He turned to Kelly and Bucky, "I guess you'd be willing to help?"

"Of course." Kelly smiled and followed him out the door.

"We have three hours, 37 minutes and 28 seconds." The bionic man "Data" whispered while looking at the instrument in his hand.There was no reason for them to ask for a visit to Remanth—a request that would undoubtedly be highly unreasonable, and would certainly raise the alarm of Romulan officials who knew about Picard's clone.Fortunately, the two planets Romulan and Remanth are twin stars.When the Enterprise D orbits the Romulan, there will be a chance to get close to the planet Remanth every three hours. At this time, the distance between the spacecraft and the surface of the planet Remanth is within the distance allowed by the teleporter for about 3 minutes. within the transmission range.Once they miss these 3 minutes, they have to wait for more than three hours again.However, the Enterprise D was originally here to send Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock to the Romulan star. Even if some diplomatic etiquette is counted, everything can be done in no more than three to four hours, and there will be no further stay in the ship. The excuse for the Romulan track.Therefore, they have only one chance, and once they miss it, it is almost impossible for them to have a second chance.

Because Captain Picard and First Officer Rick, as well as Kirk and Spock had to stay in Romulan and appear on diplomatic occasions, only four people were sent down this time: Kelly, Bucky, android Data and Wolverine. golf.Wolf is a Klingon, and Klingons and Romulans were once enemies, so it makes sense for him not to show up.Kelly found three less-ranked crew members on the ship in advance, but with decent acting skills, and used spells to disguise them.Anyway, the Romulans are completely unfamiliar with them, and even if there is a slight flaw, it will probably not be discovered.

Right now, all four are wearing black bodysuits, crouching behind a pile of rocks.Remans planet is a very special planet - half of it always faces the sun, and the other half always faces away from the sun, so half is a fiery sea of ​​fire, and the other half is an extremely cold ice sheet.The main buildings and settlements on Remanth are located on its dark side.Although there was some lighting around the buildings in the distance, it was still dark all around. It took a few people a while to see things in the dark.Kelly waved her wand, and added warming spells and various shielding spells for everyone, and added a disillusionment spell for everyone: in the dark, this spell works very well, equivalent to invisibility, but the disadvantage is that Come on, the four of them can't see each other anymore.

"Pull the rope," Bucky whispered.Kelly conjured up a long length of black rope, leaving everyone with one hand free to grab hold of. "Mr. Data, can you confirm the direction and path of the Tirisei Mine? You will lead the way."

She stood on the second one by herself, and started the magic induction, so as not to miss any warning measures from the data measuring instruments.Bucky was third and Wolff was last.Led by Data, they proceeded carefully towards the mining area.

The surface temperature of Remans can reach minus [-] to [-] degrees, the wind is cold and windy, the rocks are turbulent, and the environment is extremely dangerous.But other than that, they didn't encounter any artificial obstacles—maybe it was because of the extremely dangerous environment that no hard workers could escape alive, so the mine area relaxed its defenses.

However, near the mining area, there are more guards. Except for the narrow roads, many places are impassable at all, and monitoring equipment is hung in every corner.Kelly asked in a low voice, "Can you tell whether these instruments are optical or infrared?"

Theoretically, the current protective spells on everyone are enough to deceive these two kinds of monitoring, but Kelly is really worried that in the past few hundred years, some new technologies have been invented that her spells cannot deal with.Fortunately, after observing it, Data said, "This is an infrared detector."

"That's good," Kelly said.Sure enough, they walked a certain distance safely and entered the entrance of the mining area without any danger.The roads inside are even more intricate, the mine pit is bottomless, a circular hollow goes deep into the ground, and countless roads protrude from the thick main building in the middle to connect the tunnels on all sides.There are two types of roads in the mine - one for driving and one for people to walk around. The latter is usually so narrow that it is difficult for two people to walk side by side.It's a complete maze inside.

"We need someone to lead the way," Wolf said in a low voice.

"We need to capture a Romulan guard..." Kelly said, "Mr. Spock asked me to experiment. Under unexpected circumstances, I can temporarily confuse him with a spell and break into his mind for a short time. People are just as effective."

Both Vulcans and Romulans have special abilities, their psychic powers are much stronger than humans, and they have unique telepathy, which makes it much more difficult to read and modify their memories.Kelly and Spock had practiced for half a month before they dared to say this.She looked at the maze-like, empty passage: "Mr. Data, please hold this place. Once there are enemies, try to hide your whereabouts. If you can't hide, lead them to me. Bucky, Mr. Wolf, And I choose my own path, and when I meet a Romulan who is suitable for attack, I will sneak attack, knock them out and bring them here."

The others nodded, and they dispersed.Kelly walked along a tunnel on the left, and after a short walk, she came across a long, narrow and steep downward staircase.She went down the stairs about three floors, and heard the sound of the whip.Kelly followed the sound and saw two figures: a man with his back to her was whipping a body curled up on the ground.With a wave of her wand, she knocked both of them unconscious.

The person who was beaten was a Remansian, with a face that could be called ugly and terrifying by human aesthetic standards.Kelly left him unconscious, crouched in front of the Romulan guard, and revived him with a wave of her wand, but as soon as he opened his eyes, she immediately activated Legilimency.

The opponent was caught off guard, and he hit her with a blow.Kelly invaded his mind brutally and quickly, and roughly scanned the information related to the mine - to her disappointment, the other party only vaguely heard that there was a human child here, at least below the 20th floor, but I don't know more specific information about him.Seeing that the other party gradually came back to his senses, and his mental strength began to resist, she decisively cleared his memory and left.

Although Legilimency was relatively smooth, it took a lot of effort to fight against the awakened Romulans' consciousness and erase their memories. When Kelly returned to the meeting point, Bucky had already returned, and there was an unconscious Romulan lying on the ground. people.Kelly followed the same process and read the guard's memory again.

This time their luck was a little bit better. The guard located the location at a more specific level—the 45th floor of the mine pit, but Kelly also read that the work of these hard workers was sometimes mining and sometimes transportation. Because of their young age and weak strength, the Picadac/Lones were taken care of by other Remans, and most of the time they were in charge of transportation, but this was not accurate.She cleared her memory again and signaled Bucky to send the guard back to where he came from.Before Bucky returned, Wolfe also came back. To Kelly's surprise, Wolfe was followed by a Remans man.

"He said he was willing to take us to find Picard," Wolfe said.

The author has something to say: Regarding Data in TNG, he is a bionic man (or translated as artificial man?), and his name is Data.It would be strange to translate this name into "data" or "encyclopedia", so in the end he became the only character in this article to use his original English name.

In addition, I can understand that words such as hand/gun, insert/insert, and atom/bomb are blocked. Why is cloning also a harmonious word?
