I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary

The whiskers holding the ideological wave measuring device in such an atmosphere as a sudden construction are first drilled around the ship of Lestarius, and when the "leak" of the ideological wave is detected, the laboratory is contacted to adjust the disturbance device. After repeating such plain work and completely preventing the "leak" from the laboratory, I decided to give an interim report to Colonel Serena.

"There is no doubt that it may be a collective intelligence using a thought wave network, and that the development and installation of a disturbance device to interfere with its connection... will have no effect?"

Colonel Serena's voice echoes in the Captain's Office, where only me, Doctor Shoko, and Colonel Serena are present.

"I've managed to contain the wave of thoughts." At least for now. "

The voice of Shoko-sensei is a loose voice that seems to have eaten people as usual. Even the colonel of the Imperial Air Force didn't seem to change her attitude much.

For now?

"We've got enough safety margins on the intensity of the mind wave, but their abilities are still unknown." Definitely, it's a bit like that. "

That said, Dr. Shawko shrugged his shoulders and paralyzed the pressure exerted from Colonel Serena's red eyes.

"... do you seem to be able to communicate?"

"For now, it's nothing." They're always exchanging some kind of information in a wave of thoughts, so there's no shortage of samples. In addition to being an unknown language, we were interacting with a transmission wave that was unfamiliar to us. By the way, there are no researchers on decryption or alien linguistics on this ship. "

“It is impossible to arrange new personnel from now on.”

Colonel Serena, with a sinister expression, slapped around her temples so that she could withstand the headache.

"It's tough, Colonel." I was pressed to do something that wasn't my job. "

"I'm a soldier."

With just one word, Colonel Serena shouted. Naturally, her Independent Star Thief Fleet is a fleet whose mission, as its name suggests, is to conduct operations against the Star Thief independently of the overall Imperial Space Force strategy. If you turn the back, you can say that it is a pawn that can be used to accomplish other purposes as long as it is intertwined with the operation against the cosmic bandits. If I were to go to the upper echelons of the army.

Well, considering the example of the Crystal Battle, I might even be able to ignore it and get you where you need to go. I don't think it was anything to do with a space thief.

"It's a fence inside the army, but politics is also a tough thing." Well, we're not involved in any other business, either. "

“That's true, but you can't keep doing research on Dawntress forever, can you?”

"Thanks to someone, the Sky Bandit got rid of the pieces early, so there's a little extra room." That said, it's true that we can't let our fleet play like this, so even if we delay it, it won't reach us for another week... ”

“In other words, we have to deliver in less than a week. Unknown ways of communicating with alien beings using unknown languages."

"Having your own language doesn't necessarily mean you're an intelligent organism."

If you have your own language, and you're talking about being an intelligent organism, that's what happens to the vast majority of birds on the planet and all the creatures that communicate with each other. Well, the definition of an intelligent life form seems to me to be a bit confusing.

"Well, what kind of landing are you expecting as a military?" That armor, isn't it? There are already more than enough samples gathered, so isn't it enough to analyze them? "

“In terms of the development of the new type of armor, the research itself is progressing not only in the ship's small laboratory, but also in the military laboratories in the Windus system. Eventually, everything will be revealed. The problem is the raw material. If the raw materials needed to make the new armor are only present on the planet where the balls are rolling, the Empire will have to take control of the planet - or the star system itself.”

"That's why the Independent Star Thief fleet was sent to Edge World?" Isn't that what the regular army does, or does it have a specialized department? "

"Yes, sir."

"I don't know... I mean, I can't even say that it's my original mission to identify where the balls were brought from and gather as much information and analyze them as I can." You're a good exposed person, aren't you? "

In the upper echelons of the army, it's either a one-stone or two-stone bird, or it's just an efficient operation of combat power... but I'm sure Colonel Serena can do some work outside of her original duties.

Besides, if we report that the balls are communicating with their psychic abilities, intellectual life forms, or collective intelligence, it will hurt your head.

"... that's why it would be helpful if you could produce some results as soon as possible."

"I think the minimum results have improved because we have been able to take measures against the" leakage "of the wave of thoughts." Now, how well can we analyze it using a cryptographic machine and a database of translation implants? "

“I hope it works. From the bottom of my heart"

Colonel Serena murmured with a sinister expression. I feel sorry for you, really.
