The Collection of The End

"Collect Doomsday ()"

——AD.2160.2.9——

Artemis Galaxy, Normandy Conference Room.

"On behalf of the Thessia Ancient Civilization Research Association, I strongly protest against your reckless actions that caused the collapse and damage of an important Prothean ruins, and reserve the right to further seek compensation from the Star Alliance for this."

An Asari was speaking to Thanos in human language with a slight accent, something like an official announcement.

Judging by human standards, she looks about sixteen or seventeen years old. She has a youthful look that cannot be concealed even with a straight face. She is wearing a dress uniform with a white background and blue edges and the word "SoC" printed on it. , holding an information board in her hand, was glaring at Thanos with her green eyes, trying to express the attitude of "I am very angry, and the consequences will be serious."

There is no doubt that this is a "girly" Asari. At this age when she should be trying to absorb the knowledge Asari has accumulated over tens of thousands of years, she goes to a remote mining planet to do archeology. It must be her The fault of the guardian for dereliction of duty.

"Great." Thanos looked at the other alien companions present: "Another one with 'diplomatic immunity'."

"We didn't have time to talk to her much, right? Do you know her parents? Or is this research important?" Ashley rested her chin on her hands and sat at the corner of the conference table, looking at Asari.

"Generally speaking, adult Asari have a long lifespan and a vast amount of knowledge. They almost never fall in love or get married for the reasons we are accustomed to. It is relatively rare for an Asari to have two children in her life. This leads to the fact that all 'girly' Asari are the treasures of their entire civilization." Thanos spread his hands: "If you kill an adult Asari, you may be attacked by her relatives and friends. The organization he belongs to can at most seek revenge from his tribe, but if anyone dares to kill a teenage Asari... he will be hunted to death by the largest race in the Galaxy Alliance."

"Please don't call me 'girly Asari'. My name is Liara T. Soni." The asari girl knocked on the table with the information board: "Also, I What is being discussed is the damage caused by your reckless actions, not Asari customs."

"Hmm... If it were any other race, they would have been angry at being judged like this." Ashley opened her eyes in surprise: "She actually cares more about that unfortunate relic."

"I heard that humans can easily have strange thoughts about us because of our similar appearance. Now it seems that this is indeed the case, and it is not worth paying attention to." Liara turned her head and glanced at Ashley: "So, don't you prepare Do you want to give me an answer about your damage to the Prothean ruins? Then I will complain to the Citadel Council."

"I don't think the 'weird ideas' you heard about are the same as what you understand..." Ashley looked at the ceiling.

"We invited you to the conference room. We originally planned to discuss this matter, but the angle is different." Thanos pressed the table to signal her to calm down: "I have some questions to confirm with you."

"Yes, please." Liara nodded.

"Were you trapped in Prothean's safe wards when we found you?" Thanos asked.

"Yes." Liara nodded.

"Before we use a prospecting drill to destroy the surface of the ruins and take a detour to lift the safety barrier, is there no way for you to come out on your own?"

"right."

"The geth who appeared later and wanted to take you away were attracted because we dug a hole?"

"of course not."

"In order to prevent you from being captured, we fought with the geth, which caused the mine to collapse and the magma to rise and destroy the Prothean ruins. Should we be responsible for this?"

"should."

"..." The participants collectively fell into silence.

One plus one equals two, but one plus two equals five. There is either a logic problem or a math problem.

"That is to say,

We should let you be captured and protect the Prothean ruins from being destroyed. "Grant, who had a relatively simple mind, was the first to figure out the logic.

"Yes," Liara said confidently: "You just said that no one dares to kill me."

"...God," Ashley raised her hands to cover her face: "Does she mean to surrender immediately when encountering the enemy? I didn't even know that Asari was related to France."

"In fact, your assumption is not valid," Thanos sighed, and after playing with the multi-purpose tool a few times, he posted the record of the battle on Eden Prime on the big screen in the conference room: "The Geth are trying to obtain valuable information. After taking the things, they will place bombs to blow up the ruins, so even if you surrender before, it will be useless."

"You protected a Prothean ruins?" Liara looked at the battlefield records for a while and suddenly became excited: "Then your merits and demerits are equal to each other. Just take me to this place to see it again."

"That is the territory of mankind, and the first right to research the discovered ruins belongs to mankind." Ashley poured cold water on it, "Commander Shepard does not have the authority to make it public yet."

"Then..." Liara rolled her eyes, seeming to be thinking about some countermeasures.

"I've completed so many 'urgent missions' for the Star Alliance. It's still possible to take someone with me to see what's possible." Thanos stopped Liara before she could speak out her outrageous plan: "Answer me a question. That’s fine.”

"One? You ask." Liara put down the data pad and looked at Thanos with a keen eye.

"Do you know the reason why those geth want to take you away?" Thanos asked: "Even if it is an unreasonable guess."

"I think... it should be my mother who asked them to come to me," Liana replied, and before others asked, "Cescia sent someone to contact me before and asked me if I knew about my mother's matriarch. Where did Benacia go? It is said that she suddenly disappeared during a certain psychic jump experiment."

"Psychic leap...?" Thanos raised his eyebrows.

"A superpower that allows a person to jump without using a 'mass effect channel'." Liara raised her hand and made a "diving and resurfacing" gesture: "If this superpower does not have a clear goal, it will often Appearing next to the person who has the closest relationship with me, but she did not appear here with me, then she was probably lost in the subspace, and only recently 'surfaced', and she probably went to 'English', which she is more interested in recently. Behind the Veil of Cepheus, he controlled the geth in some way and ordered them to come to me."

"Well... maybe." Thanos looked at the top of Liara's head: "But it's a pity that the geth who came to capture you are the group that refuses to listen to your mother's orders."

As always, no one can hear the second sentence.
