StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 369 Amon's Servant

"I can only say that the marauding Tadarin protoss are already so vulgar, that they will take all the human spaceships that they didn't look down on in the past to take a look."

Augustus inspected this shuttle with a streamlined hull and a beautiful silver atmospheric tail, and turned his head to signal his subordinates to search its interior.

As an expensive luxury airship, this shuttle that can quickly jump between galaxies must be opened by complex codes, as well as its owner's iris and genetic locks.

Renault was just about to lead people to use micro-explosives to blow open the hatch of the shuttle. A high-ranking templar had already used his psionic blade to penetrate the data panel in front of the hatch, and then cut it open like a can. Bulkheads protected by new alloys.

Tassadar and Zeratul led the way in, while Augustus followed under the protection of Kerrigan and the others.

"Damn federal nobles, they really know how to enjoy it!" Renault entered the shuttle before Augustus, and when he looked up, he cursed at the luxurious decoration inside.

The ship's interior was as sumptuously decorated as palaces erected centuries ago in the Old Earth days of Tarsonis Prime, but its design was utterly alien to all current human art.

Inside the spaceship is a completely different scene. The strange silver metal forms a bulkhead that resembles the surface of mercury. The extremely beautiful spiral patterns and star-like flashes seem to be in a different space.The elegant and harmonious surfaces follow the golden ratio perfectly, like water droplets falling on a green leaf.

Augustus was surprised to find that this spaceship was one of the few spaceships that was a work of art in itself like Protoss.

Its internal layout is also completely different from all luxury yachts or ordinary spaceships that Augustus has seen. It doesn't even have a closed space or cabin.The ring-shaped halo and curtain divide the entire spaceship into several interconnected spaces, and the mysterious symbols are emitting some kind of pure void energy, so it presents a vibrant green color.

If it is said that the buildings of Tadarim are densely covered with black spikes and sharp blades, like countless swords standing in a row, then here there are no sharp edges and corners at all, everything looks so smooth and natural, as if it came from The uncanny workmanship of nature and the parodic imitation of extraordinary people.

If it was designed by a human engineer, his talent and artistry should never be unknown.

"...It looks like a Xel'Naga spaceship." Augustus walked into the cockpit of the shuttle, saw the familiar control panel in it, and then confirmed that it was still a human spaceship, but this Still can't see any clumsy stub cables.

The oil paintings hanging on the walls, handicrafts like shell gems and other extravagant items also prove the taste of the former owner of this spaceship. Even if he is not a person who likes luxury, he must be either rich or expensive.

"Maybe the owner of this spaceship is an admirer of the mysterious alien owner." Kerrigan reached out and touched the control panel of the cockpit, and a fluorescent blue holographic projection screen unfolded in front of everyone, with several nebulae marked on it Not the small Koprulu sector.

"When I was at the Ghost Academy, I had taken courses on learning human vehicles, and I had never seen such a spaceship."

"Can you find out the model and origin of this spaceship?" Augustus asked.

"There are so many private custom brands, but none of them can match this ship." Kerrigan shook her head.

"If this is made by humans, then he must be a master at the pinnacle." Zeratul looked at the spaceship with a strange mood, and his evaluation of humans was once again raised.The Dark Templar are veteran scholars of the Xel'Naga, as important as their own traditional culture.

"This is by no means a poor imitation of the Naganaga. The people who built it must have a deep understanding of the art and technology of the Naganaga." He said.

"The Tadarim probably captured this spaceship by accident, and it was stored in the arsenal because of its uniqueness."

"Let's see what we can get in the ship's database." Augustus looked to Kerrigan, who immediately walked to the computer where the data file was stored.

His master clearly hadn't expected the ship to fall into other hands, and cracking the code would have been easy for Kerrigan.

"Unauthorized access Unauthorized access. According to Federal Security Protocol Section 114." Kerrigan inserted the cracked disk into the computer's interface, only to be surprised to find that none of the cracking programs that had been successful before worked.

"The database of this spaceship has been encrypted multiple times, and its complexity may only be cracked by the most experienced experts." She looked at Augustus.

"Bring our best decoding experts." Augustus thought for a while and said, "I hope they can crack it. I'm worried that it's not something humans can crack."

"Maybe my scientists can try to crack this human terminal." Tassadar spoke at this time: "It shouldn't take too long to figure out the structure of this machine."

"I feel that even if we crack it, we will end up with nothing." Augustus has already guessed the mysterious identity of the owner of the spaceship.

In the Koprulu star sector, a mysterious person named Duran (StarC1)/Nalud (StarC2) has been closely linked with the hybrid experiment.

Narud lived so much longer than Zeratul that he could call him a young man with arrogance.He is the fallen one in Naganaga, that is, the loyal servant of the dark god Amon who will destroy the entire universe in the future.

For countless long years, Narud has been changing various identities and appearing in front of the world under different names, teasing all those who claim to be smart.He has been planning the rebirth of his great master Amon, and for this, everyone in this world is just tools and pawns at his mercy.

Narud secretly promotes the process of the three clans' hegemony in Koplu, playing tricks on others.Only Narud can build such a spaceship, because he himself is a Narenaga.

"Anyway, you won't know until you try it." Renault shrugged, thinking that this was a rare negative performance in Augustus.

Augustus nodded, and set his sights on the holographic projection star map that can be touched freely.He walked over to pull up the flight record of the spacecraft, and found out the route of its last flight.

The starting point is a federal border planet named Blasis, which has traveled all the way to come here over half of the Koprulu star sector.

"Judging from the flight navigation settings." Kerrigan quickly noticed something was wrong: "This spaceship was supposed to fly to the Luria galaxy - but how could he have the detailed coordinates of this Tadalin outpost?" .”

"This is so absurd, it's almost as if this person flew here specially." Renault touched his bare head: "How do you say, are the Tadarin protoss still secretly dealing with federal nobles and politicians? Oh—I don't wonder if they do anything ridiculous."

Not long after, Tassadar's subordinates brought several El Protoss Kalai scientists, including the respected Protector Zamara.

Human computers are nothing more than a primitive and crude product to the Protoss, and the personality intelligence technology of the Protoss Empire has already reached a height unimaginable by humans. artificial intelligence machinery.

Protoss is an ancient high-tech race, and their magical and brilliant psionic powers cannot conceal their pinnacle achievements in technology.

Protectors are the most knowledgeable scholars in the Protoss Empire, and their research on Nagar is still higher than that of the Dark Templars, because this special class can inherit the memories of all Protoss after the catastrophe, including scholars and craftsmen Masters and military strategists.

When the scientists in golden and blue robes began to crack the main control computer of the shuttle in earnest, the protector Zamara gave his own opinion on the special design of the spaceship: "This may not have come from a human." Hands, not even from the protoss."

"What? You mean, it was made by Xel'Naga himself." Renault felt a strong impact on his usual cognition: "Don't be kidding, dear. If that's the case, why did he go to great lengths to build a ship with a human appearance? spaceship."

"The secrets in this are beyond our knowledge." The protector wears a spotless white long hood, his face is always hidden under the mysterious darkness, only the cobalt blue eyes are still like the blue sun shine.

She stretched out her slender four-finger fingers to touch the spiral pattern on the inner wall of the shuttle: "The main technology used in this spaceship is still human, but the Xel'Naga technology in it can't even be imitated by Protoss."

"There are so many secrets waiting to be revealed," Zeratul said too.

While waiting for the Protoss scientists to crack the code, Augustus' subordinates found a spherical storage space during the search of the entire spacecraft, and found some documents left by its former owner here.

Augustus opened a file package containing the Tyrann Federation ID card and found at least twenty ID cards with completely different appearances, places of birth, and occupations. Some of them were even born in the Federation era. early days.

"Human traffickers?" Renault stared at the ID cards and said, "Otherwise, why does this guy want these. If it's just for disguising or concealing his identity, at least the people on it should look similar."

"." Augustus flipped through these age-old information cards, and found that there were gray-haired old people, fierce men and beautiful blondes among them.

This made Augustus start to doubt Narud's taste when he used his Xel'Naga's avatar in the real universe to transform and disguise himself as various people.

And Augustus then took over some other documents from Kerrigan, from an agent of the Tarsonis Federal Police Department to the chairman of a listed biotechnology company, with a dazzling array of different identities, including Certification of squash players.

Fortunately, Augustus did not find a business card of a street girl, at least the image of Narud in his heart was preserved.

"All the signs are weird." Tassadar concluded: "Humans colluding with Tadarin, spaceships with Xel'Naga technology, evil and weird hybrids of protoss and worms-the asteroids on this asteroid Dark and eerie unheard of."

"Executive I think we've unsealed this human device." Some time later, a Kalei scientist reported to Tassadar an update on their work.

Augustus immediately looked there, only to find that at the same time, a hooded figure suddenly appeared on the holographic projection screen on the spaceship. The background was the emptiness of darkness and mysterious starlight.

A huge, one-horned hybrid was crawling under his feet, as docile as a cat taking a nap in the sun in the afternoon.

When the hooded man spoke, Augustus noticed that the voice did not match at all what he remembered from Samir Duran or Dr. Narud, it was not even a close Yu Neutral Voice: "It's pretty spectacular, isn't it?"

"Are you the master of the Tal'darim here, the mastermind behind the creation of these hybrid freaks?" Augustus said in his usual grim tone.

"That's right—" said the man in the black hood.

"Augustus Mengsk, maybe you are surprised that I know the name of the dark templar and you? Don't be too panic, because I am omnipresent and omniscient." His voice sounded even noble and Elegant, exactly the same as a federal nobleman like Andrea Tagore speaking with his throat closed:
"I have noticed you since you started the rebellion in Korha IV."

"Who the hell are you?" Augustus has almost confirmed that this person is Dr. Narud, who will control the Mobius Foundation in the future, and the man behind Jim Raynor's mission to search for the Xel'Naga artifact fragments.

"I am a humble servant of a great existence, whose honorable name is by no means known to mere mortals."

Narud was still complacent about playing with the protoss hero and the human rebel hero, completely unaware that Augustus had already seen through his identity and knew his proud plan to destroy the world like the back of his hand.

"Amon?" Zeratul called out a name.

"."

The hooded man was silent for a moment, seeming annoyed at Tal'darine's leak.

He has many such hybrid manufacturing factories, most of which he used his power and assets in the Tyrann Federation to drive humans to build, while the Tadarin Protoss has very few.The reason why the early hybrid experiments involved the participation of the Tadarin protoss was that these fanatical fools were able to provide a large number of test items related to the protoss genes.

He originally thought that the first thing to be discovered should be a human hybrid factory, but today's all of this obviously exceeded his expectations.

"What did you create these creatures for? Destruction?" Zeratul's question broke the embarrassment of the hooded man.

Immediately he said, "Of course, young man. Bring destruction, bring doom."

"When the stars were born, his mission was destined."

"Witness the apex of your history!"
