Chapter 95 Unwelcome Request
Dong... Dong... Dong... Dong... Dong...
As the footsteps of three Terminator power armors sounded, Calvin and his two companions appeared outside the bridge of the black ship "Noble and Dirty".
The two people on the high platform also stopped their conversation after hearing the footsteps and turned their eyes to the three people walking in the distance.
"Isn't this height a bit wrong?" Ma Wei asked the priest beside him in a voice that he thought was low.
In his long-term experience of interacting with various Astartes of the Death Watch, height is in a sense an equivalent synonym for combat power and a reliable external manifestation among these angels.
And Calvin's height, which is obviously higher than that of ordinary veterans and big guys, really makes Ma Wei a little confused.
"In terms of universal reason, it is indeed not right."
Father Constantine looked at the figure of Calvin who had approached and answered thoughtfully.
Mars, where he was born, is the birthplace of the entire Mechanicus, and its knowledge system and corresponding promotion path are extremely complex.
The initial technical data that Constantine chose, or the data that he was randomly injected with when he was born in an artificial test tube, did not contain any information related to the biological path.
So he had no chance to turn to the biological path in his later growth.
In the endless ocean of knowledge within the Mechanicus, the difference between the different paths of the priests is not enough to describe the cognitive differences between the priests.
The result of this difference is that the mechanical priests and the forging sages are extremely cautious about the fields they are not familiar with and do not easily express any opinions.
For this reason, Constantine, who is now from Mars and is called the "Lord of the Forge", can only make common sense judgments about the external data shown by Calvin.
While they were still surprised by Calvin's height, the psychic field on the other party had slowly begun to cover the entire bridge as the distance increased.
The two of them went to Calvin's direction and prepared to have a polite greeting with him.
Ma Wei himself did not realize that he had subconsciously ignored Calvin's appearance since when.
Or even if he did not ignore it, what he could see under deliberate observation could not be retained in his memory.
The mechanical priest Constantine was more sensitive.
His consciousness also failed to escape the coverage of Calvin's aura, but the logic engine on his body had detected that there was a huge error between the image in his brain and his observation.
The difference between the two data packets used for comparison triggered the extreme value allowed by the protocol in a short time, so the alarm began to sound from Constantine's head:
"Warning! Observation protocol failed! Interference by unknown forces, there is an error, there is an error..."
Father Constantine woke up from his confusion in an instant, and he thought he was being invaded by some kind of data virus.
So he stopped following Ma Wei's footsteps, held his scepter tightly, and began a full-body self-check procedure.
However, after quickly passing the data one by one in the rapid self-check, the final result showed that he had not been invaded.
He looked at his palm with some doubts, and then followed Ma Wei's footsteps.
And Ma Wei in front had already started the initial contact with Calvin.
"Welcome to you in the name of... the throne. I... am Mav Austin, the resident judge of the Alien Tribunal in the Rust Belt. This..."
Mav turned and looked at Constantine who was walking slowly behind him and continued:
"This... is the mechanical priest from Mars - Lord Constantine, the master of the forge."
The mechanical priest had just walked behind Mav at this time. After hearing the former's introduction of himself, he also bowed slightly to Calvin to show respect.
Calvin stopped and looked down at the two. Out of procedure and courtesy, he also responded in the same way:
"Grey Knight, Arbitrator Calvin. The person in charge of this action team. You can call me by my rank."
After the three looked at each other for less than a second, Calvin took the lead in breaking the silence.
"The distress signal received by the warship we were on was incomplete, so this cross-system response, in my opinion, was a misunderstanding. If there are no other problems, I hope you can take us to the nearest assembly point and let us return to our base."
"Well..."
After hearing Calvin's words, the two looked at each other, as if they were repeating to confirm whether their discussion was valid before.
After receiving the confirmation from the Mechanical Priest, Mave turned back to look at the giant in front of him:
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask the honorable angel, do you have a mission?"
"No."
Calvin frowned slightly, and he had a premonition that there might be some unexpected news next.
"Emperor's blessing! In this case, are you willing to provide us with some help? Due to some reasons, the nearby Death Watch and Astartes did not respond to our request for help in time, and the interests of the empire are being lost now. We are in urgent need of your help."
"This is not in accordance with the rules! We have no agreement with the Alien Inquisition." Golden joined the conversation on one side.
"But the interests of the empire cannot be lost, and we are all humble servants serving the emperor. And we really can't leave here until the incident is over." Mave's speech became more and more fluent.
"…………"Calvin stopped talking, he looked at the two people in front of him.
The other party's attitude showed that they did need Calvin's team, but it also showed that the specific mission here must be special.
Calvin carefully looked at the two people in front of him and considered whether it was necessary to involve himself and his soldiers in this unplanned mission.
Allies were untrustworthy, the environment was unfamiliar, and the mission background was completely unclear. This almost met all the unfavorable conditions that could be imagined.
If Calvin still took over such a mission rashly, it would really be a crime against the precious lives of his comrades.
Calvin, who had made up his mind, decided to refuse the two people in front of him.
As for how to leave, at most they would go to the nearest planet and then send a signal to the nearby Demon Tribunal.
Although it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, it was undoubtedly a hundred times better than throwing himself and his comrades into this unknown vortex.
Just as he was about to speak, Father Constantine, who had not participated in the conversation, spoke.
"We know your difficulties. Although it is inappropriate, I have an important mission to come here this time. The interests of Mars cannot be harmed. Please help us for the sake of Demos. I would like to thank you for your generosity on behalf of the Foundry Department."
Calvin raised his eyebrows again:
Yes, the other party's unique bright red robe and the golden gear wrapped around the skull on his head prove that he is a member of the Mechanicum from Mars.
This outfit is not a common item in the distant Storm Star Region.
And considering that the Greya Forge World, known as the "Crown of Miracles", is not far away, and think about Riza, who has been playing against Mars half a star field away.
The appearance of this priest here is even more intriguing.
And he has a certain understanding of Titan, the miniature forge world Demos that flies next to the mother star Titan.
After all, the Terminator power armor and the weapons he was wearing now did not meet his needs, and the set of equipment and weapons customized for him were made on Demos by a senior casting priest who came from Mars.
In the initial ordering, Calvin went back and forth between Titan and Demos at least twenty times before fully explaining his specific body size and personal needs for weapons to the casting master there.
The other party also maintained a very professional and diligent attitude throughout the process.
In the long three years, Calvin's personal needs were confirmed over and over again, and at least hundreds of test products were produced to verify the feasibility of Calvin's hypothesis.
Others may not recognize this favor, but it is really difficult for Calvin to refuse.
He turned his head and looked at the two people around him, asking their opinions with his eyes.
And the two brothers also understood Calvin's difficulties, and they gave Calvin a definite reply in the psychic channel.
"No problem, special circumstances can be treated specially."
Calvin, who got confirmation, was no longer worried. But out of responsibility for his comrades, he decided to learn as much as possible about the background of the mission before deciding whether to participate in it.
He said to the priest in front of him:
"Okay, tell me the specific mission situation, and don't hide anything. I will consider whether to participate."
