Virus evolution begins with Pokémon

Shepard, Liara and others arrived at the Citadel under the escort of the Asari battleship.

At this time, the castle was obviously different from usual. Regardless of race, anxiety and hurry could be seen on the faces of people coming and going.

Shepard went to the Citadel Council for help as planned, and proposed to unite all races in the galaxy to fight against the Reapers.

As predicted before, most races are not optimistic about this.

Just like the governance of human beings, the governance of interstellar systems is also complicated and complex, and may even go beyond that.

Because in the expansion of the interstellar world, each race has had more or less various discords, and even some indelible hatred.

For example, the Salarians (amphibians) once developed genophages to cause the Krogan (dinosaurs) fertility rate to plummet. Now the entire Krogan race is on the verge of extinction.

In a situation like this, it's really difficult for them to cooperate sincerely. It would be great if they don't start fighting immediately when they meet.

And people like the Echo and Cana can't protect themselves, let alone against the Reapers.

But things were not without improvement. After Liara showed the design of the Sky Furnace, the councilors expressed great interest in it.

Although this is a huge project, it is better than just sitting around and waiting to die...

After the final discussion, Councilor Salari suggested convening an inter-racial summit to provide assistance in the construction of the Earth and the Heavenly Furnace as long as each race can ensure their own safety.

Citadel Human Councilor's Office.

"They are really a bunch of self-centered bastards." Udinan, the human ambassador to the Citadel, cursed.

In the meeting just now, he argued hard for the earth, but other races, including the Asari, did not completely relent.

"Maybe humans have taken a seat in the Citadel Council, but in their eyes, humans will always be an inferior race." Udinan 8 sighed. As the human ambassador to the Citadel, his daily job is to communicate with this group of foreigners.

Dealing with people like this made him realize that discrimination is everywhere.

"How could they be so blind?" Shepard was a soldier. Although he didn't know everything about Zhengzhi, he wasn't proficient in it either.

"Maybe they are scared." Udinan sneered.

"Our people are indeed frightened, but we are already trying our best to find ways to help." came a voice.

The Turian ambassador walked in slowly: "Lieutenant Colonel Shepard, I can't give you what you need, but I can tell you how to get it."

"Speaking."

"Prince Phedorian held a war summit, but when the Reapers attacked Paleven, we lost contact with him."

The Turian Ambassador sighed: "Without him, the war summit would not be possible, and the Normandy is one of the few ships that can rescue him in this situation."

The Normandy is the first ship of the Normandy-class frigate, based on the "Deep Reconnaissance" frigate, sponsored by the Citadel Council and jointly developed by the Human Star Alliance and the Turians.

Its IES "Internal Radiation Suppression" stealth system is optimized for independent reconnaissance missions deep into unstable areas.

This is extremely unusual because stealth has long been impossible for interstellar spacecraft, and the heat generated by the daily operations of the spacecraft is very easy to detect against the absolute zero background of the universe.

However, the Normandie can temporarily "store" the heat generated through the lithium cooling system hidden deep inside the hull to achieve the effect of being invisible on the battlefield.

And after being modified by Cerberus, Normandy-2 has more powerful capabilities than before.

"From the beginning to now, all I hear is you begging me to help you." Shepard frowned.

He did not leave the battlefield on Earth to help aliens save people.

"This is indeed the case on the surface. But you and I both need Lord Feodorian." The Turian Ambassador said sternly: "These leaders at the summit are the ones who determine our future. They determine the fate of our fleet. They decide

Where they fight the Reapers, they decide with whom to fight."

"A great king who is grateful for your favor will help to unite us." When the Turian Ambassador said this, his meaning was clearly expressed.

"We are at war, and you want me to resort to political means..." Shepard frowned.

After all, he is a soldier and does not like this way of doing things.

"If it can achieve its goal, what does it matter?" The Turian Ambassador understood Shepard's feelings very well.

According to the laws of the Turian Empire, every Turian must serve in the army for ten years.

The ambassador was a professional soldier before becoming a member of Parliament, so he can empathize with it.

Even though Shepard resisted the Turian Ambassador's suggestion, he knew that this was currently the best way to obtain full assistance from the Turian Empire.

Immediately afterwards, the Turian ambassador informed Shepard of the current location of Lord Phedorian.

The Maharaja is on a moon on the Turian capital planet Paleven, which is currently under attack by the Reapers.

After talking about the situation, the turian ambassador restored Shepard's status as a ghost agent that had been revoked due to his lack of cooperation with Cerberus, which meant that he could call on a large amount of resources.

After saying goodbye to Udinan, Shepard quickly returned to the Normandy.

The situation was urgent now and he had to act immediately.

"Udinan has already reported to me. It sounds like they are scared to death." Then the virtual projection of Admiral Hackett came through.

"We gave them too many unknowns, and only in theory." Shepard knew that all members of the Council were doubtful about whether the Sky Crusher could defeat the Reapers.

"We really only have theories, what are you going to do?" Admiral Hackett asked.

"I tried to get the Turian Lords to hold a summit, bypass the council, and appeal directly to their leaders." Shepard replied.

The power of the Citadel Council is indeed powerful, but the foundation of this power is the powerful members who make up the council.

Just like the United Nations in the Earth Age, what is truly powerful is not the United Nations itself, but its participating members.

Now they already have the support of some Asari people. If they can directly get the support of the Turian Lord, they will skip the parliament and directly cooperate.

"Yes, I like it. We can use this to lay the foundation for counterattack." Admiral Hackett said with a smile: "Build an alliance, and on this basis, try to raise as much manpower and material resources as possible. We are working hard to build the Prothean device to help us

Find anyone who can help build the equipment."

"If we can't find people, spaceships, soldiers, and supplies will do. In short, we need everything to hold back the Reapers on the battlefield so that we can have more time to research."

Shepard nodded: "What about Earth?"

"I just hope Anderson and the remaining forces on Earth can hold on until we defeat the enemy." Admiral Hackett sighed.
