Arknights? Colonization Ark!

However, they did not put aside their arrogance, and called those compatriots who lived in peace in a corner as traitors, vowing to kill them all. In the end, years of war made the Sarkaz, who were once like brothers, become enemies forever, and the other side even chose to abandon the name Sarkaz, which they were once proud of.
All this can only mean that the gift of fate has already been secretly marked with a price. As guinea pigs in a biological experiment field, they had no choice from the beginning.
Perhaps in the period after the demise of the previous civilization, they had the opportunity to choose to change, but arrogance ultimately ruined everything.
It was like this with previous civilizations, and it is like this with them too.
Even though Kal'tsit had helped them several times, the fact was that the Immortals in power were always the biggest scourge in a civilization.
"Kelsey, you're back so soon?"
A tall figure stood at the door at the end of the corridor. He was very surprised to see Kal'tsit coming back, because it usually took her at least a month to go on a long journey, but this time she came back in less than half a month.
"ACE, why is it you?"
Kal'tsit frowned slightly when she saw Fidea who was as strong as a wall. The one who used to guard here should be Ascalon. As the top attacker of the Tower of Babel, ACE rarely appears here.
"Ascalon was sent to the front line by the Doctor to conduct a covert reconnaissance mission. You know, she is best at this."
"What about the Doctor and Theresa?"
ACE pointed to the door behind him
"We are discussing things inside, Kal'tsit. Things have been getting more and more weird recently. It seems like Tracy and his men have too much supplies to use up, and their weapons are being updated too quickly. We suffered a great loss after you left. If it weren't for the Doctor's proper command, we might have lost a lot of people there."
Kal'tsit was not surprised by the abundant supplies in Tracy's hands. She could only blame them for not sweeping away all opposition forces with lightning speed at that time, giving Tracy the opportunity to contact the Terra countries.
Even though the markings on the weapons had been polished and modified, Kal'tsit could still see the shadows of those national styles on them at a glance.
They don't want to see a unified Kazdel, but they don't want to be the first to do so. External interference is likely to cause hostility from the lower-level Sarkaz, which could easily lead to trouble.
So they used this place as a weapons testing ground, sold all kinds of new equipment to Tracys at extremely low prices, and then let the Sarkaz fight to the death in their own home to consume the Sarkaz's remaining little strength. They only needed to collect data on the side, and if they had the chance, they might even be able to take a peek at the Sarkaz's witchcraft system.
I heard that a company in Colombia has already started biological experiments on the Sarkaz and has attracted huge investment from the government. Naturally, others are not willing to lag behind. Among them, the grand dukes of Victoria are the most active. They need a force to break the balance, so they support Tracy the most.
"I see."
After saying that, Kal'tsit walked forward and tried to push the door open to go in, but ACE quickly made way.
If it was Ascalon, she might have stopped it, but ACE was Kal'tsit's man, so naturally she wouldn't say anything.
After the crisp sound of the door closing, the people in the room seemed to be frightened by something, and a slight rustling sound made Kelsey a little confused.
When she walked in, she saw Theresa and the Doctor staring at her. There was an abnormal redness on Theresa's face, and the Doctor had his hands behind his back, as if he was hiding something.
Can Kal'tsit tolerate this?
He walked over immediately and pulled out the doctor's right hand which was hidden behind his back. He saw that the doctor was holding a shiny fruit knife in his hand.
"What are you going to do?"
“…peeling an apple”
As always, the voice is cold and indifferent, and there is no emotion in it.
"Where's the apple?"
Kal'tsit didn't believe this. His character was notoriously cold in the Tower of Babel. He rarely ate sweets, let alone apples. For the doctor, eating was just to replenish the nutrients needed by the body. It was meaningless to pursue appetite too much.
"Been eaten by me."
"What about the core and the peel?"
"eaten."
"Why did you take the knife when you ate it all?"
Kal'tsit looked at the bottomless darkness on the doctor's mask, and the suspicion on her face became more and more serious. Theresa on the side hurried out to smooth things over.
"It's okay, Kal'tsit, he really just ate an apple."
Kal'tsit glanced between the two of them. She was sure there was some unspeakable secret, but she couldn't understand why the Doctor wanted to hold a knife.
If he wanted to hurt Theresa, let alone use a knife, his weak arms might not even be able to beat Amiya, who was in her teens.
If Theresa wanted to, she could blow the doctor's head off in an instant.
Maybe they really just ate an apple.
Anyway, it’s not the doctor who wants to kill Theresa. Can’t you see she is still speaking for the doctor?
"Why don't you tell me what you found when you went to Ursus? You promised me that you would come back and tell me the story."
Theresa hoped to divert Kal'tsit's attention away from the knife, so she changed the subject.
Sure enough, as soon as the matter of Ursus was mentioned, Kal'tsit immediately became conflicted.
"You may not believe it, but I found aliens in the northern part of Ursus."
Chapter 18: Sometimes the dead are more useful than the living
As soon as she said this, the whole room fell into silence.
Theresa tried hard to make an expression that said "Just say it, I'll take it as the truth", but the twitching of the corners of her mouth showed that she was trying very hard to hold back her laughter.
Although she couldn't see the doctor's expression under the dark domain, Kal'tsit could feel the gaze hidden in it that said "You don't have to say it if you don't want to."
"I'm not kidding you, these are real aliens!"
Although Kal'tsit's expression was very serious, the words that came out of her mouth had an inexplicable sense of humor.
If the three of them were not already familiar with each other, if W came over, he would probably be pointing at Kal'tsit and laughing at the old spinster for being single for too long and no one wanted her, and now he would be fantasizing about an alien coming to marry her.
"Keep talking, we're listening."
The doctor's voice came out from under the mask. If someone else had spoken in front of him, he might have thought they were crazy and kicked them out.
Kal'tsit knew very well that these two people didn't believe in the existence of aliens at all and thought she was joking.
"This is real. There really are aliens. They drive spaceships and travel back and forth in the universe."
Seeing that Kal'tsit was getting agitated, Theresa, who cared about her best friend, stepped forward to comfort her.
"Okay, okay, Kal'tsit, we believe there are aliens in northern Ursus. You are too tired, go and take a rest."
Although she has the ability to sense emotions, she will not use it on her friends unless it is necessary.
The Doctor keenly sensed that something was wrong. Kal'tsit, like him, was from a previous civilization that had survived until today, so he should have a clear idea of what aliens were. Although he didn't know the details yet, there was no need to jump to conclusions so early.
"Wait a minute, Theresa, let Kal'tsit finish."
Theresa stopped what she was doing only after hearing the Doctor's voice. If she hadn't been stopped, she would have used the Originium technique to put Kal'tsit to sleep for a while.
Kal'tsit was relieved when she felt Theresa's Originium skills faded, otherwise it would be troublesome if she missed something because of her rest.
As the two waited patiently, Kal'tsit finally told them what she had seen and heard on the snowfields of Ursus.
The expression on Theresa's face changed several times, from calm at first to surprise and then to seriousness.
"Doctor, could what Kal'tsit said be true?"
The doctor did not answer her question immediately, but fell into thought.
He had only gotten up twice so far. The first time was 11,000 years ago. He got up and went for a walk around the underwater research institute. After coming out, he saw a group of orcs and Tikaz people fighting each other. He felt that this world was boring, so he went back to sleep.
This time, he had just been up for a short time and found some strange changes in the world, so he stayed for a while longer. Then he was drafted by Kal'tsit and brought here. He also had some support for Kal'tsit's statement, as time was indeed running out.
If we let these people continue to waste time, all their past efforts will be wasted.
But he never expected that Kal'tsit had not told him such an important thing. However, Kal'tsit was right to be cautious. If it were him, he might have done the same.
"You said he looks like a native human, just like me?"
Kelsey nodded.
"At least it seems so."
They look similar to humans, but the style of their spaceships is different from their past...
"Could it be a android?"
"mon3tr heard a heartbeat and the sound of blood flowing in him, but there was indeed a android with him."
A human race...Except for these remaining new generations, the original humans should have died out.
Only the androids are around...
There was only one spaceship of a completely different style. Given the situation at that time, it could only have been deliberately let in by the last defense force...
Human spaceships of different styles...
Humanity……
"Kal'tsit, are you sure he is human?"
"Are you questioning my vision?"
As a bionic person, her meta-command is to serve humanity. When it comes to identifying the other person's race, even humans of the same species cannot be more professional than her.
Theresa was also listening nearby. As one of the few people who knew the two's true identities, it was best for her to remain quiet on such a topic.
But the Doctor was thinking of other things now.
According to the historical records of previous civilizations, they were not a normally developed civilization, but a colony ship crashed while passing through an unstable subspace wormhole, and they were forced to develop independently in this unfamiliar star region.
They spent their entire lives, spanning tens of thousands of years, without ever seeing another human civilization.
just now……
Could it be true?
If this is true, it would be too dramatic.
At the last moment before their demise, they finally met their long-lost compatriots.
Should we say it is fate?
"Kal'tsit, there are no video records left."
"It happened suddenly. We didn't prepare the relevant equipment when we set out this time. But I am sure that he has a complete set of industrial technology and equipment, and even the spacecraft has a certain possibility of operation."
Although it was obvious at the time that it was severely damaged, it was still able to ensure that the other party could survive for ten thousand years, and even maintain a certain level of industrial productivity. It was impossible for that city to be built by him with his bare hands, so it was hard to say whether the other party had the means to repair it.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and they saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
That was an opportunity.
Although their motivations for helping Theresa were different, their original intentions were the same.
Unify the power of Terra to face the coming disaster, and the integrated Sarkaz are the only race with such ability.
For this reason, the old Sarkaz forces represented by Tracys and the new generation forces represented by Theresa fought a civil war in Kazdel for several years.
However, the initial offensive was too slow because there was no help from the doctor, which gave the opponent a chance to catch his breath. Even though they had the upper hand for a while, they were unable to put the final nail in the coffin.
The final result is just like now. Although there are still a lot of cards in hand, the hope of winning is getting smaller and smaller. The tactical victory cannot cover up the strategic failure.
Especially Theresa herself, now that she has seen that there is little hope of winning the civil war, she no longer wants to throw the lives of her Sarkaz compatriots into this bottomless civil war.
But Tracy's policies could not lead the Sarkaz towards a correct future, so after thinking it over, she hoped that the Doctor would kill her personally while Kal'tsit was away, and then frame Tracy.
Because there are some things that the living can never compete with the dead.
As long as she died, Theresis would never be able to achieve true victory.
As long as she dies, all the Sarkaz will always remember a person named Theresa in their hearts, remember her beautiful vision of reconciliation between the Sarkaz and other races, and the efforts she made to achieve it.
And if she were alive, when Tracys gained the upper hand, the jackals watching would turn around and support her, and continue to let this war mill devour the lives of her compatriots.
So choosing death may be the best decision now
By the way, he can also peel off the black crown before he dies and pass it on to Amiya, a chimera with special significance.
The Sarkaz only recognize the crown and not the person, and even the Kings' Courts cannot deny the legitimacy of her position as the Demon King.
As a result, Kal'tsit suddenly came back and interrupted their plan, bringing back such explosive news.
Chapter 19: American cockroach to serve as Sarkaz ambassador
"That Mr. Zhang said he wanted to build a second city and name it Kazdel?"
Theresa, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. She was very curious about the image that was pieced together from the fragments of Kal'tsit's words.
The fact that the other party could say this shows that he is very familiar with the situation of the Sarkaz on the land of Terra. His motive is very strange, after all, this is a thankless task.
