The Collection of The End

――TR.82.12.2――

Proxima Tera in the Terra Galaxy, Bucerfalos.

"Although there was a little commotion, we left smoothly," Arcturus was sitting in the captain's seat watching the star map: "Now the plan has changed. Should we go directly to Char or wait for Renault's Rangers Come to meet?"

"[You call that smooth?] Kerrigan glanced at him, but didn't say much, because she found that as long as she speaks, the crew of the Busefalos, whether male or female, will blush and heartbeat. Accelerate, perhaps some people conceal it well, but she can't hide at all under her perception.

As for the reason, if you think about it, you will find that "Queen of Blades" sounds nice, but it is still the "Queen" of "worms", and anyone with a little bit of biological knowledge knows what the queens of ants and bees are responsible for.

There is nothing to say, it must have been pitted by Amir, but she did not expect this, or that the innocent little Jedi would not turn there at all, maybe just simply thinking This is the charm of the Queen of Blades.

The direct reason why it was so late to discover is that no matter Arcturus, Siwan, Emile and Angela, they all ignored her traits, and after boarding the ship, they have been busy transporting the swarms of insects, and as a result, until Busser The Faros left the Terra galaxy through the star gate to discover the problem.

As for opening up the irony, it was not because of this reason, but mainly because the Tyronn Federation had been uncovering the "covered area" and was fighting a big fight.

In order to catch the "spy", they directly blocked all the star gates of the Terra galaxy. Every ship that wants to leave will conduct a detailed and heinous inspection, and the distance between the front and back is restricted to even the shuttle. Don't go in.

In this case, even Emil has nothing to do. Her "Force Phantom" can block the entire battleship, but is powerless against physical collisions. As a result, she is directly trapped in the Terra Galaxy for several days. He squeezed dangerously between the two large cargo ships a little further apart before slipping out.

"Um..." Obviously Arcturus knew why Kerrigan was in a bad mood, and he didn't say anything: "Because Tarsonis did not fall, the original rescue mission was cancelled, before the Federation caused the biochemical disaster to spread. ,'Keha's children' have nothing to do for the time being, so, as agreed, we will provide assistance to you in Char, but what Renault will think is unknown."

"[Renault...]" Kerrigan recalled the task of the "Sergeant Marsala": "[You don't have to wait for him, I can't leave too much breathing time for the'master'.]"

Obviously, compared to her own "Queen of Blades", the shape of the dominion is like the leader of the swarm in the true sense. If it is given time to develop, the strength and number of troops are beyond her ability to catch up.

Although Kerrigan was a little dissatisfied with Arcturus's vigilance against insects due to his status, it cannot be denied that this approach is very correct.

"So..." Arcturus turned her head to look at Amir in the wheelchair, and only after she looked back inexplicably, she made a decision: "Go directly to Char."

——? ? ? ——

In the thick fog that couldn't be resolved, Kerry was puzzled.

Strange... What is Emil planning to run into his consciousness space now?

Kerrigan carefully recalled the last memory. At that time, the Bucefalos seemed to be leaping towards the new star gate, and everything was as usual.

If you have to say anything different, it’s because Char is a little far away from Tyra, and if you take the safe route, there are a total of 26 hops. Arcturus is faster and chose the "fastest" route. Only seven jumps.

However, even if the route passes through the low-security zone and Amir is there, there is no possibility of being ambushed by pirates.

So, what is the situation now?

Kerrigan looked at the dense fog that overlapped all around him, and his doubts gradually turned into worries when Amir was delayed in explaining.

The ruler is not yet able to grow to this point, so, combined with the strange behavior of the Federation in Tarsonis that seems to know that there are invisible enemies, perhaps the mysterious "Mobius Foundation" has taken action?

Call-brush-

Kerrigan had just thought of this, and the dense gray mist around him suddenly receded, revealing the endless dark green sea under his feet and the lead gray clouds above his head.

Under the surface of this weird sea, something seems to be moving, sticky bubbles are slowly rising, and further away, where the water and the sky meet, there are tentacles of unknown size or number. The sea rises, swaying and entangled like water weeds.

Now it is completely certain that this illusion was not created by Amir. The little girl will hide away from this scene, let alone reproduce it.

But, who is it if it's not her? What is the purpose of showing this to yourself?

Could it be Angela? No, forget it, it should be impossible.

Tentacles...seagrass...plants...maybe this is the origin of those inseparable plants that fight bugs? No, it seems far-fetched to force association like this.

As Kerrigan made guesses and overturned one by one, the bubbles on the bottom of the sea gradually became dense. After she finally noticed the abnormality, the entire sea had begun to boil.

The dark green water surface was bubbling violently, and after those sticky bubbles exploded, they could still retain their original shape for a few seconds, making the entire sea area look strange.

Kerrigan is now very grateful that this illusion has only pictures. If there is a smell, she might not be able to help but split the disgusting scene completely.

However, since the green ocean is beginning to bubble, it is naturally impossible to stop there. Under Kerrigan's disgusting gaze, a large group of strangely shaped buildings slowly rises from the bottom of the sea.

Their structure is largely composed of black steel and pale stones. The passages and walls are not connected to each other, and they seem to be able to exchange positions, stretch or roll up.

It is a bit strange that, as a group of buildings rising from the "sea floor", their interiors are actually filled with books of all sizes, and they don't seem to be soaked at all.

Kerrigan didn't want to know who created this illusion and what its meaning was. He just wanted it to end as soon as possible. It would be best if the maker could be struck by a lightsaber by Emil who was found to be wrong.

She was thinking wildly, but saw a large number of "seagrass" rising from the water, completely ignoring the laws of physics, twisting and combining in the air, forming a mass of things like hedgehogs or sea urchins.

Kerrigan was about to laugh at the shape of the thing, but in the next second he saw that in the middle of the seaweed, dozens of large and small eyes without eyelids appeared suddenly. After they looked around for a few seconds, they suddenly gathered together. He looked towards Kerrigan together.

Then, the entire illusion disappeared instantly.

——? ? ? ——

"Sir, we have passed through the star gate and arrived... arrived..." The Bucefalos adjutant's voice rang in Kerrigan's ear. It was normal at first, but after a few seconds it became extremely frightened: "Sir , We have reached an unknown galaxy!"

Then, a harsh alarm sounded.

Kerrigan opened his eyes and found that the crew on the bridge had become a mess.

The person in charge of communication and positioning tapped the control panel again and again, sweating coldly; the person in charge of weapons and security looked like an enemy and was running back and forth with weapons in his arms; the most ridiculous thing was that several ship doctors and nurses carried a bunch of instruments from outside He rushed in, rushed straight to Amir's side, and then stared at the little girl.

It turned out that Princess Keha would directly sound the ship's alarm if anything happened?

"Turn off that broken thing," Arcturus said in a cold voice: "Adjutant, report the current situation, no need to speculate."

"Yes... sir," the adjutant calmed down forcibly: "According to the star gate passage record, we should have arrived at a galaxy just one hop away from Char, but the current star chart does not show our position, and this galaxy is in There is no star gate within the maximum scanning range."

"Very well, now tell me the analysis and speculation of the current situation." Arcturus nodded slightly and continued.

"Hmm..." The adjutant was probably infected by his calm temperament. He became a little less nervous, and glanced down at the data board in his hand: "The current incidents we have encountered, from the largest to the smallest, are Federal ambush, Stargate failure, subspace storm."

Indeed, if the “jump anchor” commonly known as “bubble” is given as soon as you leave the star gate, the position of the star map cannot be displayed, but the star gate is gone and it cannot be explained.

As for the star gate failure, although the probability is small, it has not happened. Specifically, the star gate has an accident during the jump of a ship. If the jump ship is thrown out in advance, it will be very difficult for the location to have no star gate. Normal, but this failure will not make the ship's positioning system unable to determine the location.

Finally, the "subspace storm" with the least probability can perfectly explain the current situation, but no one wants it to be true. After all, the humans in the Cthulhu zone left the earth precisely because of the "subspace storm". For many years, no way to return to his hometown has been found.

What's more, the main bodies responsible for the first two are the Tyrannian Federation and the Stargate. There is nothing to do with problems, but "subspace storm"? With Amir here, that kind of thing can't happen no matter how you think...right.

When Kerrigan later realized that something was wrong with the illusion just now, the little girl in the wheelchair also turned her gaze to her.

At this time, you must not show weakness and admit your mistakes!

"[Hmph,]" Kerrigan, who was leaning on the bulkhead, changed his posture: "[I think it's probably because of me, let your people scan for a habitable planet nearby.]"

————

"So, this trek is because Kerrigan became the Queen of Blades and had too strong spiritual abilities. During the process of tracking the'master', he found another zerg nest. The psychic connection between the two led to the star The door jumped out of order and threw us directly to the planet where the lair was located?" Arcturus concluded.

"...Hmm." Emil was dumbfounded for a few seconds before nodding slowly.

No, Mr. Mengsk, your thinking is a little too divergent, right? Kerrigan slandered. Although Emil said it was his own cause, Zergs do exist on the planets in the galaxy, but you can link them together perfectly.

Kerrigan wanted to know for a moment how Arcturus would make up the story if he told about the previous illusion, but if you think about it, you can forget it. Just ask Amir for this kind of thing in private.

Previously, according to Kerrigan’s proposal, Bucerfalos did a detailed scan of the galaxy and found a habitable planet without surprise.

Its land area accounts for 88% of the global surface area. The climate is extremely humid. At least 60% of the entire planet is raining at all times. The result of this strange weather is that, except for the poles, almost all land The vegetation is a typical tropical rain forest.

And in this large rainforest, countless specious Zergs are running back and forth, fighting each other, Zerglings, Hydralisks and even Thunder Beasts can find their prototypes here.

This makes Kerrigan's phrase "probably because of me" very convincing.

"But, there is no star gate here, even if you find what you want, how should we leave?" Arcturus seemed to have gained confidence from his sister and turned to Kerrigan and asked.

"[Hmph, have you forgotten the reason why the Federation has caused so much trouble? There is nothing difficult with that kind of technology,]" Kerrigan said along the hair: "[As long as I find something that attracts me, I can Directly send you back with'Psionic Jump'.]"

"Hmm..." Arcturus' expression seemed to become a little more serious. Unsurprisingly, he habitually regarded himself as a human threat, right? This guy didn't even consider whether he was still an ally? If any ally turns his face because of his apparently distrustful attitude...

Kerrigan glanced at Emil.

Cut, it's great to have a powerful sister.

"Adjutant, order Bucerfalos to advance to that planet and modify the weapons and armors accordingly." Arcturus gave instructions to the adjutant without looking back, and then looked at Kerrigan: "If you If you fail, I will razed the planet you connected to."

"[...]" Kerrigan was stunned for two seconds before reacting. Arcturus had already begun to consider if he could not swallow and assimilate the local bugs, he would instead be assimilated by them.

This is obviously too much thinking, as long as Amir is there...

Kerrigan looked at the little princess Keha behind Arcturus, but was stunned to find that she turned her head a little embarrassingly. This means "I can't do anything about this action"?

Although Kerrigan does not need her help very much, the sudden loss of a hole card is still a bit nervous.

On the contrary, Angela smiled at her slightly and compared her lips.

That word seems to be...

[Zerus]?
