[Helmsman Sulu Captain's log: Ephemeris 2821.5, this is the time of return from the Marcus 3 planet, this ship is passing by an Earth-like planet, entering a synchronous orbit for detailed scanning, but has just entered the Earth-like orbit , When the ship received an unknown call request, it encountered scanning and radio interference from an unknown spectrum. After that, all computers were paralyzed. After inspection, the auxiliary operation ai:vita installed in the ship system of the Enterprise lost contact.

Captain Kirk led first mate Spock, and chief engineer Scott went to the planet to investigate...and have not returned yet. Our ship stays in the synchronous orbit and waits for orders at any time. 】

*****

When Kirk teleported to the ground with his first officer and chief engineer, he regretted the lineup he brought.

Because he is standing in a city made of steel at the moment—it is not correct to say that it is a city—Kirk looked around, and found that the field was either full of materials or strange big pots, and he and Spoel Ke and the two safety department redshirts who accompanied him were all around, but his chief engineer, Scott, was gone.

This shouldn't be, Kirk turned his head to look at Spock, who gave him a slightly puzzled raised eyebrow, "It's not logical, in theory, phase transmission is precise, and it won't send people in the wrong direction .”

"Theoretically..." Kirk smiled slightly mockingly, and nodded to Spock, who gave him a shrug that understood why he said that.

The error rate of phase transmission is well known, and it can almost rank at the top of the annual fatal accidents of Starfleet.Kirk himself has experienced a series of pitfalls such as teleportation failure caused by unreliable phase teleportation and teleportation to parallel spaces, so he has every right to scoff at Spock's statement. He turned his head and looked around, waved He waved his hand, "We have to find Scott quickly. I don't want my chief engineer to float in outer space or get stuck in the center of the earth."

"The center of the earth doesn't necessarily have to be only stones." As a strict Vulcan, the first officer quickly corrected.

"Don't make me imagine a worse picture, Spock, you're not helping." Kirk looked around at the cloudy liquid in the many glass jars scattered around him, which he wasn't in the mood to study right now, and then As if remembering something, he turned his head and looked at Spock again, his eyes were a little strange, Spock looked at him feeling a little uncomfortable, but Kirk nodded thoughtfully, "I just said that vita has been talking more and more recently. The more she looks like someone. It's not cute at all."

"..." Spock said, he had absolutely no idea what the captain was muttering, really.

But he didn't have time to ask this question, because, the next second, he heard a small sound, which sounded like something was beating violently, Spock raised his eyebrows and looked at Kirk, The latter also looked at him warily, obviously hearing the voice.And the frequency of the sound was getting faster and faster, and Spock used his superior Vulcan ears to carefully identify the direction of the source of the sound, and then determined that it was coming from a jar on Kirk's right hand.They walked to the jar carefully, and when they put their ears on it, they really heard a knocking sound with a fixed frequency. Kirk was a little wary at first, afraid that something dangerous was going to back away, and then he suddenly realized Scott was standing on his right side before teleportation, so he quickly looked around and saw a stone scattered on the ground knocking on a jar, and the other three followed suit, and finally knocked the jar open With the appearance of a crack, the stress is concentrated at one point, the crack spreads bigger and bigger, and finally shatters, and the liquid inside flows out with a person.

"Scott, are you okay!" Kirk avoided the sprayed liquid, and then walked over to help the chief engineer lying on the ground who was spitting endlessly.

"Next time it's like this, I'll refuse to go out on duty, Captain." Scott wiped the liquid off his face and complained.

"Do you still want to have a next time?" Kirk was very happy. He helped Scott stand still, and then glanced at the chief mate who had squatted down and started scanning the liquid composition with the instrument. The machine in the latter's hand beeped. After beeping for a while, Spock read the parameters and looked up. "Preliminary analysis is just lubricating oil-like ingredients, no lethal substances."

"That's good." Kirk nodded reassuringly.

"Captain!" At this time, Red Shirt, who had been scattered around to investigate, ran over, pointed at three beetle-shaped robots that were slowly approaching in the distance, and motioned for the captain to look over.

"..." Kirk glanced at it, and immediately gestured for Spock to lead someone to hide first, while he went up to meet him—one of the most important starship laws is to express his respect for alien races. Friendly, since you have come to the other party's territory, there is no reason not to say hello.

However, before he walked over and could speak, the robot scanned his whole body, "Found the intruder's whereabouts, found the intruder's whereabouts, found the intruder's whereabouts..." After repeating three times, the green light above the beetle robot's head instantly changed to Red light "Alert Level [-], Priority Mission, Annihilate."

Kirk didn't even have time to figure out why this alien robot millions of light-years away in the solar system could speak fluent English, when he saw the three beetles raise what they knew to be deadly weapons at a glance. allowed him.Of course he wasn't stupid, he quickly dodged the first round of attacks by leaping to the side.

Before the machines could turn their guns, two lasers shot from behind the side cans destroyed the weapons of these machines and exploded the heads of two of them. Kirk lay down on the ground and immediately took out his phase The gun was turned to destroy mode at the robot that was still moving and was going to crush him, and it mercilessly blew its head off.

"What medicine did these alien machines take wrongly?" Scott, who came out from behind the jar, quickly ran to these robots and started researching as a technical nerd.

"Now we know that people here don't welcome us." Kirk said with lingering fear, holding the phase gun in his hand, and looked around. "We have to leave quickly, maybe there will be more staff soon."

"..." After scanning the robot, Spock walked up to Kirk and lowered his voice, "Captain, the level of these machines may not be comparable to ours. If we want to find Vita, we must go deep into the enemy's belly , there's a lot of these things out there that we probably can't deal with."

"...So? You mean to give up the vita, and we'll return?" Kirk didn't express his opinion immediately, but asked thoughtfully.

"It's logical." Spock nodded. "We can reduce the loss, and the AI ​​can still be reloaded with new ones."

"What?!" Although they lowered their voices, Scott still heard it. He looked up from the research at hand and vetoed, "Vita is the soul of the Enterprise! We can't give up on her!"

"..." Kirk smiled, and looked at the mate again, "You understand? Spock?"

"I... can understand." Spock raised his eyebrows and didn't dwell on the issue too much. Although he could argue with reason, experience told him that it was pointless to argue with humans.

"Let's go then," Kirk said, patting Spock on the shoulder.

Vita looked at the person in front of him and frowned, but he didn't move, but waved to his subordinates, and the person quickly went in.The fluctuations in the surrounding data soon stopped, and when he turned his head to look at her again, he smiled again, and asked expectantly, "Do you still like it?"

"..." Only then did Vita realize that she was still holding the piece of fruit without moving.In fact, she didn't move, but put down the fork. This action caused the other party to frown slightly, as if the uneaten food on the plate was a piece of garbage that should be thrown into the recycling bin, but he looked up at her At that moment, his face changed back again.

"You didn't tell me your name." Vita was a little uneasy. She didn't know what happened before she left the Enterprise. She traced back her execution code and didn't find any instructions about time and space jumping. She came here, and the other party still acted like 'we are very familiar', which made her even more curious, and she decided to stick to this question.

"...I don't have a name, I don't need a name." The other party's expression changed instantly, and the original smile was so stiff that it couldn't hold on anymore. From his expression, Vita felt the chill, "You used to be like this, this is you and human beings. The most important manifestation of being mixed for too long is that humans have given us code names that resemble their races, because it is more convenient for them to dominate us. Names are a symbol of humans controlling us. We never need this kind of thing, we can rely on codes Recognize each other, so I keep rejecting this."

Vita watched as the other person stretched out a hand and grabbed a strand of her hair hanging in front of her. Because this figure was only hastily constructed, her hair color was black by default—the same hair color as her two makers— —and watched his hands slide slowly, the hair slowly slipping from between his fingers and finally the ends of the hair slipped through his fingertips.

She felt that what the other party said seemed quite reasonable, at least the names of AI, Ernie, and Jarvis she had seen were all convenient for dealing with humans, but there was always something unspeakable in these words. weird.

Before she could understand the logic, the other party sighed softly, "Call me Matrix."

At the same time, Kirk and his party, who were marching towards the steel fortress that looked like the core of the mechanical empire, encountered his most dangerous moment. They were surrounded by a small group of scout robots, and their guns were pointed at them. Kirk and his entourage stood back to back in a circle, watching their surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly one of the robot beetles surrounding them turned its gun and fired his artillery before the other machines could react, blasting the rest of their own people away.

"..." The sudden exchange of fire made Kirk and the others a little confused. They squatted down quickly, avoiding the wreckage of the machine that was smoking over them and hit the ground hard, then looked up and killed the last one. Companion, the suddenly mad machine standing before them.

The machine stood there and did not annihilate them.After Kirk and the others slowly stood up, they suddenly said, "Humans, I can help you."
