An Unscientific Mechanic

"You... report your name." The captain of the Long Night turned around the captain's chair and looked at Ian and his party who appeared at the door. He didn't really care about the others, what he cared about was the members of the team. The Sangheili who looked familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen it.

This kind of familiarity is the kind of familiarity that is immersed in the bone marrow, as if one is connected with the other party by blood.

This made the captain of the Long Night wonder if the other party was his clone or something.

But the other party looked much older than himself, and his temperament was more mature, which made the captain of the Long Night give up this idea. After all, it is impossible for the clone to look older than the original body.

So, was it a certain elder in his family who betrayed his own group?

The captain of the Long Night stood up from his chair and lit up the light blade... the energy sword in his hand.

"Answer me, traitor."

"It's a wonderful feeling..." Till Vadami walked over to the front of Ian and the others. "My name is Thel' Vadamee (Tier Vadamee), a former Covenant supercommander, former captain of the Covenant supercarrier Long Night, and the current kamikaze warrior. I come from thirty years later."

"...Why do I always feel that two professional titles overlap with the elite opposite?" Ian scratched his head (helmet).

"...You don't even know? The fleet commander of this Battle of Harvest Star is Tyr Vadami, who is still the super commander of the Star Alliance, and the ground commander is the current kamikaze warrior Ripa'Moramee (Lipa Moramee) m)." Denissa tilted her head and glanced at Ian.

"...Ha..." Ian looked at the sky speechlessly. "Then let's cut it all the way..."

"It was all chopped off by my former subordinate." Till Vadami didn't turn his head, his eyes were still staring at himself when he was young.

"It's impossible..." Except that there are fewer scars on his body and a sharper temperament, the rest is exactly the same as the young Tyr Vadami, looking at the man who claims to be Tyr Vadami in disbelief people. "I thought you were going to be one of my uncles."

"I'm not our uncle, the young me. When you didn't cut it up at the first time, it proved that you were wavering. You're still young..." The older version of Tier Vadami shook his head. "But it's good, at least you don't have to waste your breath."

"Prove your own identity! Such a ridiculous thing..."

"I'm not in the habit of revealing my privacy to others, but you have two choices." Till Vadami said.

"Let's fight a duel, and you will experience my identity, or rather, the heart you believe in."

"I can't trust you easily." The young version of Tyr Vadami's eyes gradually became firmer.

"I know." The older version of Till Vadami took a step back and lit up the energy sword in his right hand. "Young people come first."

Little Tyr Vadamy rushed forward with his sword, according to the habit he had used for decades, little Tyr Vadamy held the energy sword obliquely in front of his chest, and then slashed at old Tyr Vadami Damie.

"Hey...you are young..." Old Tyr Vadami could even complain leisurely... about the words he had just learned recently.

Then, the old Tyr Vadamige blocked the slash of Tyr Vadami Jr., and before Till Vadami Jr. launched a follow-up attack with his left hand, he blocked the slash with his left hand with one punch, and then kicked the Till Vadami Jr. kicked down.

"Young man, I've said it. I'm from thirty years later, and I'm you, but with thirty years more life than you. Would I not know how I like to fight?"

Till Vadami, who has been promoted to a super commander for several years and has never lost a single defeat, is still a little skeptical about his life. Too fast...to the point where I can hardly accept it.

I thought that this would be an arduous battle, full of glory. Maybe, because I was too young and didn't have the experience of the so-called future self, I lost a move. It may also be because I am younger, have better physical strength and response, and use my better physical fitness to put myself into an advantage.

But... I rushed up seriously, and was instantly killed?

It's not decent at all.

"You really don't dare to save face for yourself..." Ian also thought that he would see a one-man combat battle that would be recorded as an epic. Then this battle between the future and the present will go down in history as a turning point in this war between the Covenant and the UNSC.

see now? Forget it soon, if this is recorded truthfully, the two Tier Vadami might be so angry that they would die suddenly in place, and die violently every year.

"Kamikaze, you should know what this Jedi means?"

"The meeting between the two of me will even become a turning point in this war." Old Tyr Vadami put away the energy sword. "I'm also eager for a glorious fight, but there's no time to waste."

"Hurry up and get things done... Could you please unlock the ship's system for me?" Old Tyr Vadami sat on the captain's seat. After reading Tyr Vadami's biological information, the Long Night unlocked the captain's authority to the old Tyr Vadami.

"I used to think that the encryption of the Long Night was hard to break, but I was taken aback by your arrival." Little Tyr Vadami smiled wryly... probably it was a wry smile, after all, Ian couldn't understand the expressions of the Sangheili.

"We're on the wrong track, whether it's a pilgrimage or a civilized development path. To be honest, this conversation is really uncomfortable. I don't know what to call you. Brat."

"Me too, old man. What do you want to do, I thought at first it would be a fellow who surrendered to the human side..."

"End this senseless war, boy."

"It doesn't make sense? Humans have desecrated the ruins, and they must be punished. This is the meaning of war."

"On the contrary, boy. We're the ones who desecrate the ruins, and our history is a bloody piece of shit."

"The system lock is released, this ship is your Kamikaze Martyr."

"Very good. Boy, come here and say something, let the fleet stop combat operations."

"I need a reason."

"Humans are the race that inherits the mantle of the forerunners. They are appointed by the forerunners. The prophets know this, but they want to hide it. In order to hide the truth, they issued an extinction order for human beings. They want to exterminate the mantle of the forerunners. successor.

Do you think this is still a so-called pilgrimage?

And, what exactly is a pilgrimage? "

"Activate the legendary aura, purify our bodies, and open the way to godhood."

"So you know what a halo is, kid."

"What is it?"

"It is a small ring with a diameter of 10,000 kilometers, a thickness of 22.3 kilometers, and a width of more than 100 kilometers. The large ring with a diameter of 30,000 kilometers is a weapon and a prison. The halo array can selectively exterminate the entire galaxy with specific and complex neurological characteristics. High-level life species, so as to eliminate all intelligent creatures and floods in the galaxy that may be infected by the flood.

Do you get it, boy. "

"...weapons and prisons? Wait for the Flood? What's that?"

"That's right, the Prophets blasphemed the knowledge of the Forerunners and misunderstood the true function of the halo. It was just a super weapon built by the Forerunners to fight against an enemy that even they could not fight against - the Flood. That's all.

Moreover, as far as I know so far, the forerunners are not gods, and in some places their technology is not much more advanced than humans. "

"ah?"

"You should feel it too, Cortana."

"You mean, 343 Guilty Spark?"

"That's right, you should feel the madness of the AI ​​that escaped from the tone. And the paranoia he showed in the final journey. The AI ​​created by the forerunner seems to be unable to avoid the AI ​​after a long period of operation. Crazy..."

"What do you want to say!"

"The forerunner is just a mortal, and his successor is standing in front of us alive. Even, according to the information from friends in another world, there are even living forerunners imprisoned in a certain prison. Boy, you understand ?"

"I don't want to understand, it's going to destroy the Covenant! Wait... that's why we proposed to induct humans into the Covenant and the Prophet vehemently opposed it?"

"Yes, very good, this proves that your mind is still clear." The old Tyr Vadami handed the communicator to the young Tyr Vadami. "Speak."

"I am Tyr Vadami. The entire fleet has ceased fire and is out of contact with the human fleet. Send troops to pick up the kamikaze martyrs. We need to start peace talks with humans here."

"But Commander, the Prophet said..."

"The Prophet, you lied to us, whether it's a pilgrimage or a human identity. Now we want to end all of this, what about the follow-up reinforcements?"

"The Brilliant Fruit Fleet is approaching."

"Tell them to stop. Your turn, human."

"This is the Commander-in-Chief of the Consolidation Department, Ian Varsity, the UNSC fleet, can you hear me?"

"This is Everest, please tell me."

"We have reached an agreement with the Covenant, please temporarily cease fire."

"protocol?"

"That's right, a ceasefire agreement, a ceasefire agreement with sufficient elements, including the cause and effect of the war, and an agreement that all war criminals who started the war are prepared."

"I don't quite understand." Admiral Cole's expression was almost unstoppable. The plot of the past two days is too jumpy and complicated.

First of all, the Star Alliance suddenly invaded Harvest Star again, and also established a forward base on the ground instead of destroying all ground facilities.

Second, more than a dozen alien warships suddenly appeared on the battlefield, claiming to have rescued members of the UNSC.

Third, the aliens assisted the ground forces of the UNSC to sweep the ground forces of the Covenant in an organized manner.

Fourth, the flagship of the aliens fought a gang battle with the supercarrier of the Covenant, and the top leader of the Consolidation Department led his subordinates and directly chopped into it. The IFF here also read a signal from a Spartan that was supposed to be on the ground battlefield of Reach, John-117.

And just now he told himself that the war with the Star Alliance could be terminated?

"Grand Commander, the UNSC has invested countless manpower and material resources in order to win this battle, and we have also paid huge sacrifices. But when the victory is within easy reach, you tell me that we can now cease fire with the Star Alliance? You put this What did it all do? A game?"

"We came here just to stop a war that should never have happened, and to save tens of billions of lives, both human and Covenant. In the eyes of third parties, your war is just a joke. A joke that killed countless people. If you want to pursue victory, I don't want to interfere, our troops will retreat, and we will talk about ending the war after you finish fighting."

Admiral Cole looked directly into Ian's eyes, took a few breaths, and closed his eyes to calm down.

"With the authority of my fleet commander, I have issued an order that the entire fleet should break away from contact with the Covenant and maintain combat vigilance. The ground forces should break away from engagement with the Covenant and keep a safe distance."

"Follow the command of the commander and the admiral, cease fire for the entire fleet, and break away from contact with the Covenant."

"Wise choice, Admiral Cole."

"I need an explanation."

"There will be."

Admiral Cole nodded and hung up the communication.

"Cortana, leave them a share of what you've learned."

"Okay, which part?"

"Enough Sangheili people have sufficient reasons to pull the three prophets down from the altar, including their own betrayal of each other, betraying Sangheili people, misunderstanding the effect of the halo, imprisoning the angels in the city of fraternity, concealing Human identity and so on."

"Wait... so they have suffered from being uneducated, right? If the Prophets hadn't over-interpreted the effect of the halo, and hadn't proclaimed themselves the eldest son of God, they wouldn't have written the doctrine of the Star Alliance indiscriminately, so now they're going to It won't hit as much. Am I right, guys?"

"...Suddenly felt that what you said made sense..." Kamikaze warrior Tyr Vadami covered his face with his big hands.

"Then when we finally judge the Prophet, let's use this reason to convict him, ignorant and greedy." Little Tyr Vadami walked out from the sense of loss of being killed in seconds.

"For a prophet, misinterpreting God's will is a serious sin. Isn't it, kid." The old Tyr Vadami stood up and patted the young Tyr Vadami on the shoulder.

"Sorry to interrupt your discussion, the data transmission is complete, I think... we may go to the Everest to surprise Admiral Cole." Cortana's projection appeared on the armrest of the captain's chair of the Long Night, and then Jumped onto the holographic platform of The Long Night.

"That's right, after telling the story here, we're going to tell the story over there." Ian shrugged. Then... was almost knocked to the ground by a sudden huge shock.

"Hey Enterprise, what happened just now? Why did the Long Night suddenly move!"

"Uh... Grand Commander... It was just that the Enterprise lost contact with the Long Night just now. It is now undergoing emergency repairs."

'...'

Ian, Master Chief, Anderson, and Cortana were teleported to Admiral Cole's flagship.

"We have received enough surprises today, Commander." Admiral Cole saw the two people following behind. "What you want to say is that the Master Chief and this..."

"Ellen Anderson, xenobiologist, member of the Spirit of Fire."

"But as far as I know, John-117 doesn't need rescue, and...the armor on you is not the same as the Spartan armor we have equipped."

As soon as the words fell, three Spartans wearing MK IV Thor's Hammer assault power armor walked into the bridge of the Everest.

"Admiral, Spartan 117 is here to report."

Ok, sorry == it was only two o'clock to finish the revision
