Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Immediately afterwards.

The divine body troops and mobile suit formations that had been fighting the Flood Fleet at close range returned to the hangar after Serena conveyed the order, and received Kaisha's purification before returning to the hangar.

Afterwards, the four Primarchs Sparta, Ivan, Nova, Shia, and Megan rushed to the Star Destroyer's bridge.

(Robert and his Ultra Corps, along with Mike's expeditionary force, were still encroaching on and annexing Covenant territories, and were therefore not on board the Star Destroyer.)

Inside the bridge.

Most of the officers surrounded the center console on the second floor. Halsey and Serena stood around William. At the same time, Serena also controlled the holographic screen of the center console to provide detailed information to everyone present.

The holographic screen contains the data of the Ark, as well as the hardest-hit area of ​​the Flood infection on the surface of the Ark, and the safe area that has not been infected by the Flood.

At this time, William said: "Everyone, there are two main goals for our side at present.

(raise left hand to make a fist, index finger first)

One is to unload the ground troops in the safe area selected by Serena, and the engineering team will build a surface base for the troops to go back and forth between the ground and the Star Destroyer after disinfection.

The ground troops need to protect the engineering team, and the flagship will not be attacked and disturbed by the Flood while building the base.

(extend middle finger)

The second is to select the elite among the elite, and follow me deep into the central control area of ​​the ark to find the 'guide' on the ark.

Through its voluntary or voluntary assistance to us, let us take full control of the Ark and use the Ark's defense mechanism to eliminate the Flood threat.

Do you have any questions? "

"Er... Boss..." I saw Carl, who was not talkative when there were many people, but suddenly raised his hand and asked, "What is a guide?"

William didn't explain, but glanced at Serena who was standing on his right hand side.

Serena also understood what William meant, and with a wave of her hand, a 3D model appeared on the holographic screen.

What this model presents is the imaginary picture of the guide, a one-eyed metal ball only slightly larger than a human head.

"Boss." Looking at the metal ball, Myron couldn't help wondering: "This thing is a guide? Isn't it just a ball?"

"Ahem..." William clenched his fist again with his left hand, coughed twice in front of his mouth, motioned for everyone to be quiet, and explained:

"That's right, the guide is a kind of artificial intelligence left by the forerunner. As its name suggests, it is responsible for guiding us to open and control the various relics of the forerunner."

"But the boss." Hearing this, John was the first to express his doubts:

"You said 'voluntary' or 'voluntary' before, so does it mean that this so-called leader is hostile to us?"

"Yes." William didn't deny it either: "As an artificial intelligence, the guide is an existence similar to Serena, Cortana, and Megan.

They have their own personalities and characteristics, and during the wait of more than 100,000 years, they may become unstable due to loneliness, and they may be aggressive towards everything, and they may not even have the idea of ​​​​destroying the entire galaxy.

So don't be careless when finding a guide, let Serena, Cortana and Megan communicate and persuade it.

In the event of a last resort, Serena and the others will attack and force the guide to assist us. "

"But..." Ivan frowned at this time, looked at Megan with a little concern, and then asked William a question:

"Father, Serena once said that the artificial intelligence of the forerunners is extremely advanced, and if they attack those so-called guides, the chances of winning should not be great."

"Don't worry, although Serena and the others will struggle to deal with artificial intelligence like the guide, it doesn't mean we can't threaten it."

After a pause, William waved his right hand lightly, and continued to explain:

"After we land on the surface of the ark, we will first look for the terminal and let Serena and other artificial intelligence enter the ark's system together.

Determining the location of the guide is one, and the other is to lock the control room of the ark.

As long as we can reach the control room, as we humans are 'recyclers', we can start the self-destruct process of the ark.

All leaders cannot accept that the creations they govern are destroyed.

Then we threaten with self-destruction. I think the leader of the Ark will choose to cooperate. Besides, this is the worst case. Maybe the leader will readily accept our proposal. "

"Since this is the case...then I have no problem, father." Ian said.

"Very good." William nodded lightly, then looked around at the officers, and ordered:

"John, you will lead the Custodian Army and the Raven's Terminator, and be the first to teleport to the safe zone marked by Serena to ensure that the safe zone is clean and safe."

"yes."

John, who received William's order, nodded lightly, and led Carl, Myron, and Corax to leave the bridge first.

At the same time, William looked at Ivan and ordered: "Ivan, you and Megan will drive my dedicated MS and lead the MS formation to quickly land to a safe area.

(Looks again at Shia and Nova beside Ivan) The same goes for you two. "

"yes."

After Ivan led the girls away, the center console became spacious, leaving only a few commanders of the Marine Corps and Rabid Shark, Colonel Pruss of the Ghost Agent, and three men in bright red armor. Elite Commander.

William seemed to look at Pruss and said: "Colonel Pruss, please and your Ghost Agent, cooperate with the Rabidtooth paratroopers to protect our engineering team.

After the Imperial Army and mobile suit formation ensure the safety of the surface, you will lead the engineering team to take the transport plane and transport boat to the surface for the construction of the surface base. "

"yes."

Prussia and a group of Rabid Shark officers saluted William, and then left the bridge.

William looked at the three elite commanders again, and said with a smile: "The three of you, please lead your clansmen to protect the safety of our engineering team.

Remember, be sure to wear a good airtight protective mask. "

"Oh~!" The leading elite yelled habitually and said to William: "You are now a partner of my clan, no trouble or no trouble."

"Hehe, thank you very much."

"Aw!"

The three elites left the bridge screaming again.

In the end, William set his sights on the remaining Marine Corps officers, and said with a little apology:

"Everyone, the job of defending the flagship is left to your marines."

"."

These Marine Corps officers included Hicks and Hudson, veterans who joined Umbrella more than ten years ago, but at this moment they looked at each other in blank dismay, as if a little unwilling.

After all, the other troops got the mission, but the marines didn't.

But on second thought.

Even the elite marines of the Zero Fleet were not rich enough to have an AT shield, and they could only do nothing to deal with Zerg like the Flood.

In the end, Hicks, Hudson and others saluted William: "Yes, boss."
