I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary
# 065 Plan and equipment check
While borrowing Mimi's tablet and looking at the pamphlet of the resort star system, Mimi and Chris returned to the dining room assuming that the guidance inside the ship was over.
"Welcome home. I was just looking at the pamphlet." "Oh, yes ... but in this situation it's not a vacation." "No, maybe not."
Sadly, he smiled, but smiled to deny it.
"Is that so?" "It's not clear at this point. Let's talk to everyone when Elma comes back." "Okay! Don't wait for me to go over here? "
Mimi said that and tilted her head, and Chris stared at my face.
"Yeah, it didn't mean I didn't think, but I dismissed it, probably because I couldn't. I didn't do it, so let's do it."
I returned the tablet to Mimi.
"Open the galaxy map. Did you say that it was a Dexter system?" "Yes, it's a Dexer system." "Bruno said that it would take five days to use hyperspace communications and a gateway. Remember, did you go through the gateway when you came to this Sierra system? "" ... ah "" What is it? "" What can you see on the Galaxy map? Mimi, from the Sierra system Try searching for the shortest route to the Dexer system "" ...? Okay, let's do it. "
Mimi operates the tablet while tilting her neck to search for the shortest route. Then, Mimi's expression opened astonishingly.
"Ah, that, Hiro-sama, something goes out forty-two days on the way out." "Oh, it's farther than I thought." "Why is it so far? Is that about two weeks from now? "" Oh, Mimi, it's a matter of using a gateway. "
Mimi clapped my hand with my words. Yes, the question is whether you can use a gateway. You have an Imperial permit to travel using the gateway. Aside from Imperial ships, boats of nobles, or licensed passenger companies, such as regular flights and luxury cruise ships for sightseeing, mercenaries like me cannot be used lightly. If Chris is there, a one-chan license may be granted, but if you make such an application, you will be immediately noticed by Chris's uncle Balthazar. The route to the gateway will have to be trapped in layers. I'm not saying that we can never break through, but it is a very risky option. Depending on where you go, it may be necessary to take such a hand, but it may be safer to take the hyper lane and go straight to the Dexer system. The hyperlane extends like a mesh, and there is no single route to the Dexer system. The condition of victory for Chris's uncle Balthazar Daleinwald is to kill Chris before she informs Chris' grandfather, Count Abraham Daleinwald, that the death of Chris's parents is his ploy. As a matter of fact, this is quite difficult. Even if he kills Chris, he is doomed when the current Earl, Abraham Daleinwald, becomes aware of his tactics. He should be pretty impatient. You would want to kill Chris for whatever, and you would never want Chris to report to Abraham. Then, is it dangerous to hold it eternally? He is cornered, and there is a high risk that he will take his hand regardless of what he is doing.
"Okay, Mimi" "Yes! What is it?" "Reserve reservations for resort planets. Surely there were three resort planets on this star?" "Yes, that's right. "Don't you need to consult with Elma?" "As a result of various thoughts, I think it's better to take action as soon as possible. It's all right now."
Mimi looks in love.
"Please apply for use on all planets. I'll make sure that you stay at different locations at different travel agencies. The more the better, the better." "Uh, uh ... it costs a lot of money. "Do you make a lot of reservations?" "I wonder if it can be disturbed. My plan is: make multiple reservations on the resort planet, prepare multiple hiding places, and intentionally stand out to the resort planet, If you're in Krishna in space, you won't lose as much as you can, clear all of your pursuits, and gently move to the resort planet, where your enemies are exhausted one by one. I have to go and save some time, and in the meantime I have Elma's mentoring to get the information to the Count. "
How is it And I show my arms out. When Mimi and Chris heard my plan, they both tilted their heads and thought. Strangely cute with the same gestures.
"I think it would be nice if the pursuers could be defeated properly." "But is the funding OK?" "17 million energy, so there is no problem with the funding."
Chris exclaimed after hearing my words. No matter how noble a child is, she seems to be surprised if she is offered Pong and 17 million energy.
"The cost of staying in a resort system is like 10,000 to 30,000 energy per person per week. I think it's enough to have more than one. I will charge Count Daleinwald along with Chris's escort. "
Well, as for the cost of staying, I didn't feel like looking at the top.
"Isn't it all right if you don't have multiple ones? It's difficult to find out which resort system we're staying in after defeating the pursuers?" What if they don't care about what they are doing? Maybe we can get our accommodation from a travel agency by illegal means, so after all we have multiple accommodations and make lots of decoys "Isn't it better?" "Isn't it possible? Even if you're traveling in the hyperlane, your opponent can't even handle it.
Mimi tilts her head and says so. Indeed, the hand of hiding in the hyperlane is an ant. There was no idea. My perception is driven by my knowledge of Stella Online. Traveling with a hyperdrive, which ended in an instant in Stella Online, usually takes more than ten hours, sometimes tens of hours in this world. Unlike traveling on a superluminal drive, traveling on a hyperdrive is not interdicted. It's a great way to earn time.
"It's a safe hand, but there's a supply problem. Did Krishna come unsupplied until he came to the Sierra system after resupplying in the Alain system?"
I didn't expect anything like this, and I just wanted to enjoy my vacation in the Sierra system, so I went straight from the Alain system without stopping at stations or colonies.
"Mmm ... Sure, the stockpile is tough for more than two weeks. Well, then, after replenishing supplies?" "Replenishment of supplies in this colony itself is risky. There is also a way to go to the star system and replenish it there, and you will not be attacked while traveling with Hyperdrive, but you may be ambushed at the end of Hyperdrive. It's like coming to this star system. "" Well, that's true. "
Mimi frowned, remembering that she had been interdicted by the pirates early in the Sierra system. So I wonder if it was good to meet Chris ... Well, if I couldn't, Chris was likely to have been terribly bad and would have been a good thing.
"Mm ... don't get into the conversation between them."
Chris looks so regretful while saying that. Well, unlike Mimi, who has been in Krishna for a while, Chris has never been involved in mercenary business. It would be impossible to participate in such a conversation.
"It would be better to pack the details after Elma came back. But that wouldn't be possible without considering the possibility of a raw melee match. "I'll help you!" "Um, um, I'll help!"
They raise their hands together. No, there are a lot of things that are dangerous if you handle them incorrectly, and I would like you to refrain from doing so ... But maybe you will also use Mimi and it is a bit different to keep away. I have to get used to it little by little.
"Are you Mimi or Chris?" "I will fight in case of emergency!"
Chris clenched his fist and was thrilled. No, we're disqualified from being escorted to get you into that situation ... Well, let me tell you something that's easy to handle. I don't know what is useful and where. We take them to the cargo room. Although Krishna's cargo room is literally a cargo hold, it also serves as an armory. There are weapons like the power armor and laser launcher I used during the bioterrorism storm in the Allein star system, as well as the laser rifles and other melee weapons Elma brought out for security at that time.
"Wow, it's somehow amazing. Are these all weapons?" "Well, generally it is. Not only that. There are quite a lot of dangerous things, so don't touch them without permission." "Yes."
After seeing Chris nodding, he begins checking for equipment. I'll skip the power armor and laser launcher for now, but first of all, a laser rifle. It's a weapon with more firepower than a laser gun, and it has better firepower, power, and range. It has a multiscope that can change magnification freely and can use night vision mode and infrared sensor mode. It is inevitably bulkier than a laser gun, so it is rarely carried around the city. Some colonies prohibit carrying inside the colony. Even so, if you carry such a thing with you, you will be stuck up by the government and it will be inevitable. Obviously it's too much to claim for self-defense. The next thing I checked was a ball-shaped object. It's a kind of grenade, rather than throwing at small aliens. Stun grenade ... I mean, it's a sound and light that deprives the sense of vision and balance. It's a shock grenade. When you push the switch and throw it, you can get a powerful electric shock within a radius of about 5m around this ball. Explosions in spaceships and colonies can be very dangerous. Wouldn't everybody be fashionable like a Buddha with a hole in the outer shell? For that reason, Stella Online explained that this shock grenade was mainly used in the same way as flag grenades in other games. I don't know if it's the same in this world. Let them know how to use a laser rifle and a shock grenade. I couldn't just let the test fire in the ship, so I just tried to keep it safe and throw a dummy grenade. After that it wasn't a weapon, but I also taught how to use the emergency nanomachine unit. This is a gun-type syringe that can relieve severe pain by pressing against the injured person and pulling the trigger to provide first aid for serious injuries. After all, it is a first aid measure, so if you do it, it will be fatal if you do not do it, but if you do not die immediately, you can save your life for the time being. There is no loss if you know how to use it. There's never been a chance to use something like this, but there are times when it should happen.
"I would like to be able to use only the emergency nanomachine unit and shock grenade for the time being. It would be helpful to just support me," "Okay. I will do my best to practice throwing." "I'm very strong when you can hit the opponent behind the obstacles properly. It's easy to handle, it's more suitable for both people than trying to use a laser gun or laser rifle badly I guess. "
You will not be able to use it when approaching, but you will lose if you are close enough to use the shock grenade.
"Let's remember the storage location and make it available to take out in case of emergency. But don't take it to your room. It's dangerous." "Yes" "Okay"
Two people who nod obediently. You don't need to worry too much, because they don't seem to be mischievous, but it's OK. While checking the equipment in that way, a notification sound was heard from the small information terminal. It's probably a message from Elma, because there's a sound coming from Mimi's tablet. Take out the small information terminal from the jacket pocket and check the message.
"I'm being caught right away"
It moves fast. Have you already identified us? Well, it would be natural to say that if you kept monitoring at the Port Authority.
"what will you do? Going to pick me up? "It's okay, I don't think it's impossible to set off on a busy road. But it moves faster than I thought. I don't think there's too much time for it. " "It's high risk. Anyway, I'll be back in a hurry. It would be troublesome if you set it up. " Be careful and get back in a hurry. Turn on location information so that SOS can be sent at any time.
The exchange of messages ends. Well, it moves faster than I really thought. It seems better to take this early.
