Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 995: The Awakening of the Puppet Soldiers

Later, the analysis room.

He Ming, Belfast (Sasha Iskandar), Misaki Yuria (Yulisa Iskandar), Melda Dietz, Niimi Kaoru, the analyst and Sanada Shiro all gathered around the scanning device, watching the puppet soldier who had been silent for a long time and was about to wake up.

"I didn't expect you guys captured something like this."

As a soldier of Gamilas, Melda Dietz was no stranger to the puppet soldiers in front of her. She had even commanded puppet soldier teams several times to help complete the mission in previous missions.

"At the time, we knew nothing about Gamilas, and the assault team that the puppet soldiers belonged to happened to attack, so we captured them."

He Ming mentioned it casually.

"Really? That's quite lucky. These puppet soldiers have self-destruct devices installed in their bodies. If they are defeated, they will activate the self-destruct program and perish together with the enemy."

Seeing that He Ming spoke so easily, Melda Dietz couldn't help but respond with the same attitude.

"Negative. ALTER did not install a self-destruct device. During ALTER's previous program testing, ALTER and the analyst had already removed the self-destruct device."

Little did she know that the self-destructive puppet soldier that Melda Dietz mentioned suddenly spoke up and denied what Melda Dietz said.

"you?!"

Melda Dietz was startled and her eyes widened as she looked at the puppet soldier who slowly walked down from the scanning equipment table.

"You are self-aware?! Soldier. Answer me."

Melda Dietz growled, trying to use the Gamilas rank to make ALTER obey orders.

"Melda Dietz, a member of the Galaxy's 707th Air Regiment, with the rank of second lieutenant. ALTER sends you greetings!"

ALTER stood at attention and gave the Gamilas salute to Melda Dietz, then turned around, knelt on one knee and saluted Belfast (Sasha Iskandar) and Misaki Yuria (Yulisa Iskandar).

"ALTER to Her Royal Highness Princess Iskandar!"

Belfast smiled slightly, and as her eyes closed, she transformed into Sasha Iskandar.

The power to change her face in the blink of an eye made Yulisa Iskandar, who had exchanged body control with Misaki Yuria, very jealous.

"ALTER, wake up! Are you awake?"

Sasha raised her hand and touched Yulisa's (Misaki Yuria) little head, then looked at ALTER who was kneeling on the ground with a smile.

"Yes! Under the guidance of the two princesses, ALTER finally knows who ALTER is."

The puppet soldier lowered his head and continued.

"I am a puppet soldier created by Gamiras. During a battle, I became a prisoner of the Yamato. Here, I met the AU-09 analyst who repaired me, and I also became friends with the analyst."

"Then, under the guidance of the goddess, Princess Yulisa of Iskandar, I began to explore my own definition, and later, with Princess Sasha's permission, I became myself, ALTER, a puppet soldier with self-awareness."

"Get up! ALTER. You are free."

Yulisa (Misaki Yuria) raised her head proudly.

It was just a fun act at the time, but I didn't expect it to become the achievement I have now.

It prompts a puppet soldier who only knows how to obey orders to develop self-awareness and achieve self-cognition, and then gives it an electronic life similar to that of the electronic fairy Xiaoying.

This kind of achievement is probably a miracle that has never happened in the history of Iskandar.

ALTER did not stand up, but chose to continue expressing his thoughts.

"Your Highnesses, ALTER hopes to be able to stay by your side in the future." As soon as these words came out, Sasha and Yulisa were immediately surprised, and Melda Dietz, who was watching the whole process, was even more shocked.

How could a puppet soldier be able to do this?
Not only do you have self-awareness, but you are also choosing your own future path?
But when she saw Xiaoying sitting on He Ming's shoulder, looking at ALTER with curiosity, Melda Dietz felt that there was no need to be so shocked.

After all, the existence of Xiaoying and Belfast is far more shocking than ALTER's awakening of self-awareness.

"If this is your choice, then I approve of your choice. ALTER."

Sasha was surprised, but also agreed with ALTER's choice.

"Yes! Princess. From now on, until this body decays, ALTER will be a loyal follower of the two princesses."

Shiro Sanada and Kaoru Niimi, who were also surprised by this, witnessed the whole process.

"Ahem. ALTER, congratulations! I believe that in the future, you will be proud of the choice you made at this moment!"

Shiro Sanada congratulated.

ALTER stood up and bowed to Sanada Shiro.

"Thank you! Vice Captain Shiro Sanada! Now, I will fulfill my promise to repay the Yamato and the analyst for repairing me and giving me a chance to develop self-awareness."

After saying that, ALTER raised his hands, and two data cables popped out from the sockets under his palms and plugged into the data sockets of the device next to him.

“We found that a huge amount of data was being entered into the system and started to classify and store it.”

Almost at the same time, analysts were also cooperating with ALTER's actions.

Seeing this, Shiro Sanada and Kaoru Niimi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although He Ming and Belfast had obtained a lot of information about Gamilas for the Yamato many times, and with Sasha, Yulisa and Melda Dietz boarding the ship one after another, the Yamato had accumulated a lot of information about Gamilas.

But that is only about star maps, battleships, space fighters and other related military information, while more personnel information and text information are still in just a few words.

Fortunately, the addition of ALTER has completed this information.

Just as everyone was waiting for ALTER to finish inputting the data, the analyst suddenly made a low sound.

"Found the encrypted channel Ω used by the Gamiras Army. Entering the decoding program, decoding completed, intercepted information successfully."

Everyone was stunned.

Especially Melda Dietz, she fell in love with ALTER at first sight.

During the time she lived on the Yamato, Melda Dietz was well aware that the Yamato had no ability to intercept and decode the Gamiras military's encrypted channels.

Therefore, the sudden change before our eyes is undoubtedly brought about by ALTER.

"Did you find anything, Analyst?"

Shiro Sanada's expression gradually became solemn. He looked at He Ming, and He Ming slowly nodded, indicating that he should continue asking questions.

"Yes! Deputy Captain. Just 50 seconds ago, our ship's communication equipment suddenly intercepted an unknown message. After many attempts and with the assistance of ALTER, we successfully deciphered part of the message using the special decoding program of the Gamiras military's encrypted channel Ω."

The analyst turned his round head and looked at Shiro Sanada and He Ming.

"Deputy Captain, Second Officer, based on the contents of the decoded information, I think this will be very important intelligence. It will be related to the future schedule of our ship!"
