"It's my calculated result, and it's the best possible outcome compared to what other options might lead to."
Vic still had no emotion when he said this, which made Chuck think his father might be trying to reassure him with a firm tone.
But Chuck is worried. On the one hand, he doesn't trust his father. On the other hand, as a judge, he just likes to doubt.
"Doubt, anger, hatred, suspicion... If you are swayed by these biological emotions, you will make a mistake. This is the truth I have concluded." Vic stared at Chuck, "Just like me, I was swayed by biological emotions 70 years ago. , making a mistake with a female of its kind."
If he hadn't heard what Vic said, Chuck would not have remembered that he was already in his 70s. Decades seemed like years in various life-extending technologies and heavy court affairs. Even his appearance and personality haven't changed much.
As for the father-son relationship, Chuck felt that the person in front of him was just the priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus. He might have something to do with him, but the relationship faded after not seeing him for more than 60 years.
Chuck didn't care about Vic's cold words, but nodded very satisfied: "It's good that you have thought about it... But I am wondering, what benefits did the Lord of Tyrone give you, wouldn't it be STC?"
As a member of the trial court, Chuck has read some information about the Mechanic Order.
STC templates, archaeological technological relics, are very precious. If Vic can get an STC template, he will have status and power.
"It's not STC." Vic replied calmly. "You don't know what I found in that hive world, and you don't know what secrets lie in Lord Tyrone. These are more important than STC, far more important than STC."
Chuck was very curious about what could be more important than the STC, but considering that the mouth of this old thing was replaced with a titanium alloy sounder, he probably couldn't get any useful information out of it.
"So, based on the importance of what I said." Vic slowly got up, turned around and walked towards the locked door, saying the rest of the words as he walked: "I can be sure that Judge Lena must It was an accident, and it must have been done by someone from the Tyrone galaxy, but it doesn't matter, I ask you not only not to report this incident, but also to demolish your colleagues in the next work."
Chuck nodded silently, and then asked suddenly: "Is this your order or the order of the Mechanic Order?"
Vic, who walked to the door, did not give an answer, but turned his head back to face Chuck before pushing the door open, and said another thing: "There are eight bugs in your room, I The things recorded in the bug have been deleted, and you will record some nonsense and save it later."
After finishing speaking, the metal structure of Vic's neck quickly turned his head back, and pushed the door away with the tentacled mechanical arm attached to his back.
Chuck watched Vic leave, then immediately searched the room.
"It shouldn't be... I found nine of them before I went to bed yesterday, did the rest leak or did someone put them in now?"
...
A week later.
Hive World Spaceport.
The spaceport is one of the orbital buildings built in the past year and a half. It looks like a bastion in space. All ships entering the Tyron galaxy must stop at the spaceport and undergo inspections before they can conduct business. Activity.
Every day a dozen ships popped out of Mandeville Point and passed through the fort defenses into the spaceport, but today this time there was one ship that teleported out directly next to the spaceport.
This ship is different from the surrounding ships. It doesn't have a church, and it looks angular as a whole. There is a golden lion family emblem hanging on the hull.
Although various large turrets attached to the surface of the ship can be seen from a long distance, this is indeed a merchant ship.
After the merchant ship was sent out, it sailed towards the space port, and was guided by a small guide ship to dock below the holographic projection with the number 37 suspended.
After the merchant ship came to a complete stop, ten large transport planes flew out from under the hull and finally landed in the approach area.
The door of the transport cabin opened, and Klein led his entourage out of the transport cabin in the middle, and looked at a guard waiting in front of him and the thousand soldiers armed to the teeth behind the guard.
"Are you Gray, Andruida, or someone else? Could it be Grote?" Klein looked at the guard, wondering who was under the thick visor.
The guard stepped forward and took off his helmet: "You bastard is not bad."
"Grey!" Klein laughed and walked forward, hugging the old acquaintance.
Then Gray looked at the entourage behind Klein.
A very large Ogryn, clad in hand-forged carapace.
Behind O'Green are some guards with scars on their faces.
In addition to these people, there was another person who was immediately attracted when Gray's eyes were on him.
It was a strong man with a height of [-] meters, a handsome face, and long golden hair. He was wearing a yellow ceramic steel armor, and there was a symbol of a red heart and a red blood drop on the chest of the armor.
Apparently it was an Astartes.
It's just that there are many damaged places on this man's armor, even the thick shoulder armor on his shoulders is gone.
The man didn't show any displeasure when he was stared at by Gray. He remained quiet for a while, then nodded to Gray.
"Foros, an angel of the emperor, I don't know much about the specifics. Anyway, I found him in a world with a harsh environment." Klein gave a brief introduction, and then whispered: "I have to say that their lives He was quite strong, and when I found him he and his men ate poisonous animals for a month."
Hearing this, Gray realized that there was not just one Astartes coming, but several.
Seeing that Foros didn't look like the bad guy Gray, he didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, Klein had to go see Lord Tyrone later.
"I came back this time mainly to bring back the goods that the Governor wanted." Klein said as he walked towards other transport planes.
The hatches of each transport plane were opened, and the mercenaries maintained order in the transport plane with live ammunition.
The interior of the large transport aircraft is like a square, and the cargo that Klein said is on the "square".
Gray and Klein walked together, chatting and observing the "cargo" in each transport plane.
The first transport plane was packed with Ogryns.
So does the second one.
"I haven't been back for several months, how is the governor doing?" Klein asked with a smile.
"Very well, I spent most of the day in the research institute, you know, the underground of the fortress you were stationed before."
"It's still the same as before..." Klein sighed helplessly, and asked again: "Did you find a governor's wife?"
"A few days ago, the Governor went to Tyrone II a few times during the day, and went to a young noblewoman's manor for a few days... I saw the two of them on the beach before the end of my vacation, so..."
During the conversation, Gray finished looking at the cargo in the nine transport planes ahead.
Most of them are Ogryns and Ratmen, just like what other merchants will store in their transport planes.
Finally, Gray walked to the door of the transport cabin at the very end, and he saw some civilians in the transport plane.
These people are dressed in rags and are sitting or lying on the cabin floor, eating food. There are adults and children. These people may have suffered a lot when they were growing up. The end of the cabin retracted.
After scanning it, Gray found that there were more than 50 people here.
Gray had a feeling of disgust when he saw these people, and everyone present cast unfriendly glances into the cabin.
This feeling of disgust is not discrimination but instinct, because all these people in the cabin are untouchables.
"This group of people is much worse than Yao En." Klein said helplessly, recalling in his head the scene he saw when he found these untouchables.
"I can tell." Gray nodded.
Klein was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at Foros, and then at Gray: "I want to meet the governor, can you..."
"Of course, I'll take you right away." Gray nodded in agreement.
