197: The Detained Archangel
Artemis is a border military fortress satellite built by the Eurasian Federation in c.e.35 and is located on Lagrange 3.
Although it was later considered to be strategically worthless, the entire satellite was immediately protected by an all-round light wave defense belt called the "Artemis Umbrella", boasting a high defense power that was said to be impossible to break through.
At this time, the Archangel entered this military fortress satellite.
However, the situation was completely different from what Mariu and the others expected.
"What do you want to do?"
In the bridge of the Archangel, Malu and the others had just stopped the engine and breathed a sigh of relief when they discovered that a group of men with guns rushed into the Archangel and took control of everyone.
In the end, even they were pointed at gunpoint.
No matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like welcoming the Archangel.
"This is just a safety measure."
A certain commander of Artemis walked in with a haughty expression, his hands behind his back: "Artemis is a military facility after all.
Although you entered here due to special circumstances, in order to prevent some accidents from happening, some safety measures are still required."
"Master Bidaluf, I hope you can explain why you do this?"
Natal looked at the Artemis commander slightly nervously, and shouted to him: "We are also members of the Earth United Army and are friendly forces. Why are you doing this to us?"
"Friendly forces?"
Biedaluf looked at Natal with disdain and said coldly: "This ship of yours has no ship registration and no friendly force identification signal...
For the safety of Artemis, I can only block the control of the ship and weapons and equipment."
"blockade!?"
Malu and the others were stunned and looked at the people of the Eurasian Federation in disbelief.
"Commanders, please come with me."
Bidaluf glanced at Malu and Natal, then turned and left: "I have something to ask you and verify your identity."
"..."
"hateful!"
In a lounge, except for Malu and Natal, all the other crew members were pressed here.
In addition to the crew of the Archangel, there are also a group of civilians from Heliopolis here.
When a Heliopolis refuge ship was escaping, its propeller was accidentally hit by the disintegrated wreckage of Heliopolis, losing power and floating in the universe.
It happened that Kira discovered this refuge ship when he was returning home, so he took him aboard the Archangel.
There is also a special person in this refuge ship: Kira’s friend Sai’s fiancée, Fleur...
"What's going on?"
Seeing that other crew members were pressed in, Sai couldn't help but ask: "Does the relationship between the Eurasian Federation and the Atlantic Federation have a bad relationship?
Aren’t you all from the Earth Alliance?
Why are they detaining us?"
"It's not that the relationship is bad."
Debbie patted Sai on the shoulder and explained calmly: "I think it must be a problem with the battleship's fleet or identification signal, right?
This battleship was probably developed in secret and has not yet begun official service.
There shouldn't be any information about this battleship here in Artemis, right?
That's why the people of Artemis treat us like this.
Once our information is verified, everything should be fine."
After Debbie finished explaining, he glanced at the helmsman Arnold Neumann.
The civilians in the lounge were obviously panicked when they saw the crew members being pressed in.
Sai's question made the surrounding civilians quietly prick up their ears.
If the answer is not good, some irritable civilians will probably have a conflict with the people of the Eurasian Federation.
By then, the situation will not end well.
Therefore, after Arnold saw Debbie's eyes, he reacted instantly and followed his words and said: "This warship was dispatched before it had time to register the information. Now we need to cooperate with them to verify the identity information.
Once the verification is done, everything will be fine."
After Arnold confirmed Debbie's guess, the civilians around him became visibly quiet.
Although his face is still a little panicked, at least he is not so panicked that he loses his mind.
Seeing that the civilians had calmed down, Arnold winked with everyone and came to a corner in the lounge: "The explanation Artemis gave us is the same as what Debbie said.
However, if it is to verify identity information..."
"etc."
Debbie raised her eyes, interrupted Arnold, and then looked at Sai's fiancée Fleur: "Um, can you please leave?"
"Debbie?"
Sai held Fleur's hand and growled to Debbie with a somewhat ugly face: "What do you mean?"
"..."
Debbie shook her head and smiled: "She is a civilian now. What we are going to talk about next is military-related topics. It is better for her to know less."
"What does it mean that I know less?"
After hearing what Debbie said, Fleur couldn't help but take a step forward and shouted angrily to Debbie: "What do you mean by this person?"
"..."
Debbie ignored Fleur and looked at everyone silently with a smile.
"Sey, I'm sorry."
Arnold looked at Seyi solemnly and said coldly: "She is still a civilian now, different from you.
In the military, there are some things that civilians cannot know.
So, just let her leave first."
"Hmph~"
When Fleur saw everyone else looking at her, she couldn't help but throw away Sai's hand and left angrily: "If you don't listen, you won't listen. What's the big deal?"
"Can you speak now?"
When Arnold saw Fleur leaving, he looked at Debbie: "What do you know?"
"It's not that I know, it's that I guessed."
When Debbie saw that all the irrelevant personnel had left, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he whispered to everyone: "The Eurasian Federation should be interested in the data of this battleship, as well as the data of the attack...
They are just looking for a reason to detain us now, to provide cover for their data theft, and to gain enough time to crack and debug."
"..."
After Debbie finished speaking, Arnold and the other regular troops looked solemn: "Then the data on the attack was leaked!?"
The data of the Archangel is locked and cannot be cracked immediately, and it requires sufficient permissions.
However, because there may be other pilots driving the MS, there is no habit of locking it.
Therefore, all it takes is a computer to copy the raid data in minutes.
"No."
Debbie smiled and shook his head, then looked at Kira: "Mu should have told you in advance to lock up the attack.
Now except for you, no one else should be able to activate the attack, right?"
"ah!?"
Arnold and the others were stunned and looked at Kira in surprise: "Is what Debbie said true?"
"Um."
Kira also looked at Debbie in surprise at this time and asked curiously: "Mu told me secretly and asked me not to be discovered by others. How did you know?"
"Although this is the fortress of the Earth United Army, the Eurasian Federation is responsible for all the power here, so it is easy to figure it out."
Debbie casually made a fuss, and then changed the subject with a solemn expression: "Kira, the Eurasian Federation should cause trouble for you next.
In the previous battle, Mu Ke drove the Zero MA.
In the entire Earth Alliance, only Mu has the ability to fight MS with MA and still win.
Therefore, they must know that the driver of MS is not Mu, but one of us.
When they find that they can't unlock your lock, they will definitely come to us.
By then, if we don’t say anything..."
After a pause, Debbie looked at Mirialia, the only girl present who was wearing an Earth Alliance uniform: "Miriyalia should be the breakthrough point for those people.
If you don't get up, Mirialia will be dragged away and humiliated by them.
If you get up, they will definitely force you to unlock it.
They may even force you to help them reverse the structure of the entire MS, etc.
So, what are you going to do?"
"ah!?"
After Debbie finished speaking, everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at each other in surprise or horror.
Chapter completed!
