After thinking for a long time, Gordon turned to look at First Officer Kelly and gave his answer.

"..."

However, Kelly did not comment. Instead, after thinking for a while, she looked at Anne aside and asked:

"Annie?"

"If it were you..."

"what will you do?"

She suddenly felt that this test question was quite good, because it was a real example, and why there was no correct answer or choice so far. So, if someone could give a better solution, maybe, wait.

When the results come out in the future, she can enter them into the test question bank as a new commander test question?

"Eh?"

(???.???)????

"How to do it?"

(=′ω｀=)

Unexpectedly, as she listened, the other party actually asked about herself, which actually surprised Anne.

"Um……"

(*?~?*)

"It seems useless if you keep it locked up, and it will waste food if you keep it; it would be too troublesome to hand it over... but it would be too cruel to kill it. After all, she is Uncle Ed's girlfriend."

(′～`●)

"So, maybe they will just let it go, right?"

o(*ˉ︶ˉ*)o

After thinking for less than three seconds, Annie quickly gave her answer and expressed her support for what that idiot Uncle Ed did.

"!

"

"But!"

"Annie, the Quills are the enemies of our Planetary Alliance!"

"If you take away prisoners, you are indulging the enemy!"

Hearing that Anne's answer was different from his own, Gordon was a little dissatisfied, and then rebutted loudly, and successfully caused other people in the bridge to look at the three people who were asking such interesting questions.

.

"Correction."

"Lieutenant Gordon, so far, the Alliance has never declared the Quills to be enemies, and has never officially declared war on the Quills."

"So, your wording is not accurate."

Seeing that Kelly and Annie were not speaking, the robot engineer Isaac used the emotionless electronic synthesized voice to correct certain errors in Gordon's speech rigidly and rigorously.

"Isaac is right!"

"Attention everyone!"

"I must explain: Although we have had many battles with Quill and caused huge losses to both sides, I am also very sure that our Planetary Alliance has not officially declared war on Quill, so they really

Not our enemy."

"At least not yet?"

Nodding, while Kelly agreed with Isaac's statement, she also solemnly stated this key point to the crew members who were listening on the bridge, lest they do something against Quill in the future.

Wrong personal emotions and biases can be brought into decision-making.

"So!"

"Gordon, I didn't answer the question correctly just now, but your answer just now, especially the way you directly regarded the Quills as enemies, I'm afraid you won't get an ideal score?"

"Do you still want to continue with that commander application?"

"If you want, I should be able to spare time in the afternoon to conduct the last assessment on you. Although your scores in all assessments so far are very bad, I will still go through that process as long as you need it. That is your right.

.”

First mate Kelly looked at helmsman Gordon again and waited for his answer.

"..."

Gordon stopped talking.

And looking at the expression of resentment and shame on his face, it's easy to tell that he obviously doesn't think much about it.

"OK."

"I see."

"I will give your application a final score and file it, and then I will unfortunately inform you that you will not be able to apply again until the end of this year."

"If you still want to, I suggest you come back next year when you are ready?"

After saying that, Kelly finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to reveal the matter.

Thinking about it, she knew that the reason why Gordon wanted to apply for the commander's examination before was just because he took it for granted that "Janell" was seduced by Ed first because of his status and position as "captain"

Because of that, and now that he knows that 'Janell' is a Quill woman pretending to be a woman, and that after knowing that Ed almost didn't come back after experiencing a near-death experience, he is completely relieved and let go, he will definitely not

It's no longer fun to go and ask for trouble.

After all, everyone knows that Gordon's personality is really not suitable for being a captain. Alola's performance was much better than him before. At least Alola would not mess around and would take the initiative to give up power at certain times.

"Report!"

"Mate Kelly!"

At this moment, just when Kelly was about to say something to end the topic started by Gordon and make a summary, surprisingly, the new security officer on the Orville, who was in Alola

The second security officer who was transferred after leaving spoke.

"I received a strange message, sent from a planet using an ancient microwave code."

"After translation..."

"What the other party probably meant was: 'Is there anyone over there?'"

The female lieutenant, who was also a Hilian but older than Alora, said to Kelly excitedly.

As for the originally transferred security officer from the Crooked Star with an Elephant Trunk, although he was very dedicated to his duties, due to some serious conflicts with the crew of the Orville due to certain living habits, he was expelled. Now this Hilaya

The human lieutenant was specially recruited by the superiors to take care of the opinions of everyone on the Orville.

"!

"

After hearing the lieutenant's report, Kelly asked for a moment, then immediately turned on the communicator and called Captain Ed who was undergoing repairs:

"Ed!"

"quick!"

"Please come to the bridge immediately!"

"We received a radio wave from a planet."

"We're going to prepare for first contact!"

First Mate Kelly said excitedly, and at the same time, other people on the bridge, including the Hilian Lieutenant who reported the report, Gordon, Isaac, Pettus and others, all excitedly started talking about their

When operating in a certain position, it seems like preparing for some major action?

"??"

(???.???)????

"What happened?!"

(?Д?≡?д?)!?

"Are you going to fight?"

(??ω???‖)?

"That's great, I want to be the captain! Tell Uncle Ed to stop coming!"

?(?^o^?)?

Seeing everyone's ridiculously excited behavior, Anne thought they were going to fight or something, so she quickly sat down on the captain's throne and prepared to give orders.
