Captain wakes up 100,000 year later

“I inform the crew before a major leap. This planet's fortress has now become a fortress for the municipality of Illuvelas, not the Neo Augsburg of the Earth's Union.

I will now call this fortress Cereal One. We will find assets of the Earth's Union throughout the universe. And I will retaliate thoroughly against any forces who wish to seize all of these assets. For the glory of mankind! Captain, comms are out. ”

On the screen, a giant fortress was illuminated by nanograms.

The Gathering Mill is loaded with Silver Whirls, and within it are thousands of orderly knights.

The operators reported to the captain after a brief speech.

“Cereal One. Ready for a big leap. ”

“Beware the impact of a planet-scale superspace leap. ”

The operators reported quickly.

The fortress has reaped the Jaming that was covering the main area.

Operators have carefully observed Neo Augsburg for superspace leaps.

“All power, all clear. ”

Most operators still do not feel right about what they are dealing with.

A ship in the following kilometers really captures the mind of a person.

In order to jump super-space through a material that's 20,000 kilometers in diameter across half the universe,

It is not a matter of availability, but of perception itself is difficult.

The universe is so unknown to carbon-based creatures.

“Your Majesty, give the order. ”

“Countdown initiated. Alphazeta. ”

“Command received. Countdown initiated. 10.9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Jump!”

The black universe shakes, and this massive fortress is swept by a translucent membrane, hiding from the mainstream in an instant.

"Captain, would you like to see Serra on the move?"

Francesco's eyes were as blue as ever.

"Yes. How are you feeling?" "

"It took me a while to repair the whole frame. It was resourceful, but somehow he gave up self-repair. I've kept it in a flask in case a collapse was observed, but the usual conversations are possible."

"Let's go see. You have to listen to the story."

Po, who was listening to the story, said.

"Captain, me too…!"

The captain nods as Po speaks in a complex manner.

"Come with me, Po. With you, he'll be stable for a while."

The captain, along with Francesco and Po, heads to a data care center located at the center of the suppression facility.

There was a little one-man flask in a facility with all sorts of complicated equipment.

A number of machines were installed around the flask, carefully reviewing the interior.

Inside, Serra in a white uniform sits on a chair.

Inside was a special piece matching set (ten trillion pieces) for AI to soothe the boredom of AI.

“Serra, you have suffered for tens of thousands of years. ”

“Phew · · ·. ”

Serra, who worked hard to piece together the pieces, suddenly choked on the voice of the captain.

She pulls her handkerchief out of her arms, scrubbing her eyes and raising the captain.

When the captain sees that, he gives Francesco a glance, nodding lightly, meaning that there's nothing wrong.

"It's been very stable. She didn't take any defensive action because she didn't think we, the aliens, and the dragons were real. Now that we know that we're not a miraculous entity, we can communicate more seriously."

The devastating helplessness was that they could not perceive reality as reality.

He was slowly dying, trapped inside himself. After the nightmare ended, Sarah felt everything was as clean as reality.

“Don't cry, Serra. I'm so glad you could join us like this. ”

“Yes! Of course, sir. ”

"Sit down. Let's hear the report."

Serra folds her handkerchief and puts it in the uniform pocket. And I sat in a chair in a flask.

The captain also sits in the chair that the escort android brought out. The flask was placed in front of the other country.

The captain pulls out the short file and spreads it left and right.

The pad in the file began to automatically document and organize Serra's words.

"Sarah, I've been stuck in a freezer for the last 100,000 years. It's been a long time. It took me a while to recover the technology coming to this deep space. Please think that I don't know anything and help me."

".....!"

Sera looked quite surprised, as the ghost had appeared 100,000 years ago!

At the same time, Sarah was a little disappointed because she was not a 'person' who could explain such things to herself.

"I see. Captain. Okay, let me share with you what I know."

"I named Neo Augsburg Cereal One. I plan to integrate all the fortresses into a series of cereals in the future. First of all, I want to hear about the relationship between the history of this cereal circle and Earth."

Serra checks the collar, hangs her head, and takes the captain's words seriously.

Multiple documents were automatically received and organized on the pad.

“As you know, sir. 100,000 years ago, Cereal One was a simple supply port. We retrieved goods from large shipbuilding facilities across space and supplied them to a fleet of Earth Allies operating throughout the supergalaxy cluster."

"I've been supplied here a few times. Aliens don't come to the party very well. But I didn't expect it to get this big."

Sarah smiles slightly.

But at the same time, the darkness falls slightly on my face.

"Due to a loss of communication with the district, access to and access to the shipbuilding has been blocked. I couldn't reach him by any means. But I was obliged to keep stockpiling supplies to stay true to my duties.

So I warped often into outer space in a hidden state. where we took the resources we needed and we hid them in the outpost, and we turned them into a deep space manufacturing plant that produces supplies. We finished producing planetary harvest facilities roughly 30-40,000 years ago. ”

The captain strokes the back of his hand bitterly. I knew what a thick, stiff hand looked like.

We've lost contact with Earth. Cut. The captain asks again, rolling the ominous roar in his mouth.

“When was the last time such an order was issued? ”

“Approximately 875. The Human Efficiency Board was on its way.

The war was favorable. So I remember that HED, who was confident in controlling the space space space, commanded expansion of all the deep space forts.

Whether the enemy felt confident enough to repel him or walk away like a gambler was confidential, although I didn't know... "

Serra was a deep-space supply port, but not a technology development research vessel.

A place called the Deep Space Supply Port can be plundered at any time. There was no way to store top secret technologies in such a place.

So she scaled up the facility to reach the limit of technology, and from the moment she reached that limit, she did nothing.

“I see. Do you know the condition of the Earth? ”

“Finally, we received a signal that humanity is completely extinct in the world. We have received your 'Last Day' code."

The captain sighs. Last Day Code. Until the end of the century, mutually assured destruction (MAD) entered the cosmic age and became a strategy that did not work for the aliens.

So it was a signal that changed and ordered an unlimited retaliatory operation when humanity was completely extinct in the solar system. With this signal sent, all AI's gold would have been released.

'Maybe that's when the Catarian series started producing dragons.'

Yeah, well, maybe that's when Serra started playing with dolls.

Francesco didn't look so good either.

"So what happened?"

"An unknown enemy destroyed the entire solar system. Or an energy storm. This is the last signal from the outer angle of the solar system. ”

Serra plays a sound. As the sound waves go up and down the screen, only a terrible scream is heard.

At first, I couldn't hear the reinforced captain's ears either.

However, when I listened closely, it seemed as if someone was screaming and other whispering sounds were mixed together and were echoing incredibly loud.

“The audible frequencies are different from those of ordinary humans. There's a lot of noise you need to focus on. ”

[Yes, sir. It sounds like screaming on the outside, but it's different. This is a recording of an energy storm that is classified as a kind of electromagnetic field.

not only in the range that humans can hear, but also within the limits of the amount of energy that we can transmit with this type of communication equipment. In fact, it would have been a bigger, more powerful scream.]

“The whole universe was covered in screams, and the solar system was destroyed in an instant? ”

The captain takes a slow breath.

In the face of unimaginable cosmic catastrophes, how weak is humanity's civilization?

We could have built such a huge civilization, fortified the planet, defended against storms and tides, and even survived the fall of asteroids flying from space.

But in the face of this unimaginable event, everything was so helpless.

“· · Really, it happened. One world came to an end so lightly. Our hometown, our stars, our world. ”

The captain looks at the screen, glowing like a constellation of lost horses.

"Tyrant. As soon as we get back to Alphazeta, send a stealth detector with the most advanced technology to the solar system."

[Copy that, Captain. We may still have enemy forces left, so we will send them to untraceable equipment.]

This fortress is circling Alphazeta. It is still unknown whether such electromagnetic storms are occurring in the solar system. The captain rubs his eyes and drinks the cold water next to him. Serra takes in the water, nervous. Captain says.

“After the moon invasion of the alien Advance Battalion, the fortresses were literally filled from Pluto Jupiter Base.

They did everything in their power to protect Earth, the cradle of the human civilization. But there's only one scream left. ”

“Yes, sir. I tried every means I could to get in touch with the Earth Coalition. not just in the solar system, but everywhere in the universe.

But no matter what it took, all communications were cut off and I couldn't talk to anyone. I warped the points I promised to produce weapons, but then I thought, what's the point? ”

“But the weapons have been warping ever since. Why?”

“Maybe · · ·. I thought maybe someone could see it and come find me. And if anyone came, I would show them the kinetic engine and I would talk to them. ”

“What do you think about the dragon or the Pantheon recently visited? ”

Serra sighs deeply.

“I thought it was all just a hallucination. I've experienced it many times. There's a spaceship coming down to me in the distant universe.

I prepare meals for them, I have fun conversations, and I listen to them talk about the world. That way, when you come back to the table to get your car out, boom. They were disappearing. It was all my dream.

Dream. Fantasy. So I'm afraid that maybe all of this is still miraculous. ”

My shoulders were slightly trembling. The captain gets up from his seat and approaches.

Tyrant notices the atmosphere and opens the door to the flask.

The captain gently lays a hand on Serra's shoulder.

“Now, this is not an illusion. Right?"

“· · · · · · Thank you. Captain.”

Serra, with tears in her eyes, jumps in and grabs her.

Maybe it's because I've endured a long time. The two of them clearly had a connection.

“Submit a detailed story in the report. Po, you can take Serra around with you. Unwind him. There will be as much to talk about as there are different worlds where we have lived.

Sarah, I hope you can admit that this is a reality by listening to stories you can't even imagine. ”

“Thank you, Captain! Come on, Sarah. ”

Serra and Po sweetly hold hands and leave.

The captain spoke with Francesco and Tyrant on the spot.

Above all, the identity of this electromagnetic storm was the biggest mystery.

[Captain, we can wipe out a planet or two entirely. When the planets are evacuated and completely incinerated, we can do as much as we want.

But it's hard to imagine destroying the entire solar system in a heartbeat and cutting off communication between all the planets in the respective Alliance of Humanities.]

“As expected, an Alien prototype? ”

As Tyrant and Francesco speak, the captain walks quietly. Then he looked at the crowd and said,

“Let's get off the bridge and talk. I can't stay because I'm so frustrated. Tyrant, is there a place in cereal circle where you can see the ocean? ”

[There is a tropical sea built by Serra. Are you sure you want to go there?]

“Yes, let's go there. ”

Soon the captain and his group make their way to the beach.

The white sand smells of palm trees, and the warm sunshine of the Sapphire Sea is shining.

The captain looks at the water and says,

“This is what the Earth looked like. You know.”

“I don't remember anymore. I once touched these currents with my hands. The hand of God. ”

Dr. Francesco was also a high-level AI, but most of that frame was made up of real human brains.

That's why the captain respected him.

First generation AI.

Although it has been being maintained for a long time, it was a tradition for people who devoted everything to humanity to the end, devoting it to their brains.

He was a real man.

“It's hard for me to bear because my grief is boiling. People who have never been born on Earth recognize the Earth as their home. Our genes, our civilization! We're all from a sunrise, moonlit world. ”

[So I even broke the other two stars in the Alpha Zeta into Death Eyes.]

The captain nods. However, when I heard the seagull crying in an open place, I felt a little clearer.

No, maybe it was natural.

The captain looks at the sea breaking with white foam, feeling the sand on his toes.

“Once the alien contamination begins, even the most beautiful oceans are stained with terrible colors. The first is underwater plankton. And then there are the pitchforks, because they're monsters the size of little babies, and they climb ashore.

I thought that was the worst pollution. We actually had to boil the ocean several times and disinfect it completely. But a storm that can burn a star system itself? · · You must be a model of the aliens, right? ”

“But then · · · how can the Pantheon and the dragon force move around the universe so freely? Why aren't they under attack by aliens?

The Pantheon is the shadow of a group of Dunamist-class ADOMs who were eventually banished from the Alphazeta to time. Where did the United Nations actually go to fight? ”

The captain looks at the fish walking around the foothills and says,

“They may be waiting for the harvest. To wait for the whole universe to be full of life, and then finally swallow everything in a heartbeat. ”

“If so, aliens are · · · ·. ”

“Maybe it's a challenge they've set up. The struggle has made humanity strong. Without the aliens, we'd all be drowning in a sea of joy.

Human appetite for pleasure is limitless. But as the aliens emerged, the population explosion and survival demands overwhelmed all cultures. ”

The captain looks at Francesco and says,

“Whoever our enemies are, they are hungry to swallow us up while controlling our culture. But · · · As long as I'm alive, I must find a way. ”

Francesco nods.

“Of course, sir. I'll follow you anywhere.”

The captain sends the sand into the wind, holding it tightly in his hands, and gazes at the far reaches of the sea.
