Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 92 Mindless and Unhappy

Calvin, who spent 10 minutes fully equipped with the assistance of machinery, hurried towards the direction of the bridge.

Doubtful thoughts have been accompanying his thoughts since the first time he heard the notification:

What surprises can there be in this ultra-long-distance subspace travel with a single jump distance of more than 5000 light years?
Theoretically, there shouldn’t be any accidents in this kind of deep voyage before returning to reality. If there is, there can only be one kind—subspace storm, the kind that destroys ships and kills people.

Calvin finally reached the bridge, and before the others reached the command area, they could already hear the voice of Third Company Commander Stern arguing with Mechanical Bishop Katyn on the stage.

The third company commander asked loudly:
"Since we received a signal from the astropath for help, why don't we go!"

The voice of the bishop's reply was very calm:
"We received a wide-area signal. We have a task ahead of us and there is no time to delay."

"But this trip is not an expedition cruise? Shouldn't it be the first time to respond to the call after receiving the signal for help?"

"It must be us? This is the signal from the Tribunal, but after such a long period of distorted signal transmission, what else do we know besides knowing that it is the Tribunal? What if it is the signal from the Order of Foreigners?"

"Whoever it is, we should go and see. It's a duty."

"What about our own mission? Once we leave the subspace submerged state here, it will take at least another month of preparation for the choir to enter the subspace deep voyage state again. Are you sure we can arrive at the scheduled location on time?"

………………

Calvin entered the podium, and the "communication" between the two parties continued.

He gestured to the three-time current company champion and Paladin Crawford, who is also the rank of arbitrator, with his eyes, and the latter shook his head very slowly after receiving his eyes to signal Calvin to stay calm .

After a while, a psychic message appeared in Calvin's ears. He was slightly taken aback, and then let go of his consciousness protection to receive the message.

Not surprisingly, Crawford's voice sounded in Calvin's mind:
"We received a broken help signal in the turbulence of the subspace. We don't know the specific time and location of the call for help. Apart from knowing that the signal came from the opposite side of the subspace we are in now, there is only one trial Court's encrypted logo."

"Ah, that's it. It's really difficult."

Calvin was thinking about the meaning of this message, and he would be equally entangled in this kind of thing.

It is indeed unacceptable to give up a task in progress for information that does not even have time dimension and specific coordinates, but in terms of responsibility, it cannot be given up directly.

Calvin squinted subconsciously and looked towards the most central seat on the podium.

This is not an easy decision, no matter which option he chooses, he must be responsible for the problems that may arise on the other side.

While sucking his teeth, Calvin rolled his eyes and planned to look back. By the way, he felt sorry for the brain cells that were about to die for this great mentor who was cooperating for the first time.

But just at this time, the great mentor who had been closing his eyes to meditate just opened his own eyes, and his inquiring eyes happened to collide with Calvin's eyes.

"It's broken, it's broken..." Calvin instantly felt that something was wrong, and he was about to walk away subconsciously.

But it was too late, the cold voice of the great mentor who noticed his small movements had already sounded clearly from the entire podium.

"Your concerns have been expressed clearly enough. Now, please keep quiet. Who else in the chain of command has not spoken? Well, Arbiter Calvin. Tell me what you think."

For a moment, following the guidance of the voice in the center of the high platform, the eyes of the entire bridge seemed to be focused on Calvin.

Calvin, who had no time to complain about himself, turned his attention to the matter itself, and the "thread tearer" in his brain began to work after receiving sufficient energy supply.

The data and current situation of the entire fleet are running rapidly in his brain, and all the known information about this matter is gathered in his mind within a few breaths, and he disassembles several feasible ones. A different scheme than completeness.

Within a second when the surrounding pressure shifted to Calvin, he gave the answer to these expectant and scrutinizing gazes:

"In our voyage route, we are scheduled to leave the subspace in the Bakka sector, and we will go to Orpheus via Mantola after resupply as planned, right?"

Mechanic Bishop Katyn Babel looked at the holographic map again.

The machine soul of the servo in the command platform responded to his consciousness, displaying the routes and star sector nodes involved in Calvin's words above everyone's heads in real time.

"Continue with your thoughts, young man." The bishop's voice was no longer as intense as before, and he seemed to have understood Calvin's intentions.

After receiving the confirmation of the information, Calvin looked at the holographic image above his head again.

He pointed to the location of the Baka star area and said to everyone:

"If we break away from the Warp now, and release a squad directly to the nearest Inquisition rally point, and continue sailing into the Warp until the next Large Nexus. Then do a deep warp with the help of the recovered choir, How much time will we lose?"

The holographic projector calculated the specific numbers and displayed them above everyone's heads, and the calculation in Calvin's mind was no slower than this, and even a little faster.

He didn't look at the results on his head, but continued his speech before the numbers calculated by the servo were displayed:
"21 days! We can notify the trial court to transfer the estimated supply point from here to Mantola. The time left for them to adjust is absolutely enough. If it is not enough, we can even continue to transfer to Yuldis. Anyway, we In fact, there is only one bottom line, to ensure that the state is complete before entering Orpheus, isn’t it? In this way, our time progress will be no problem.”

When Calvin finished expressing his opinions completely, the holographic map on the podium had already listed all his plans under the operation of the mechanical bishop, and marked the variables and attention time nodes one by one.

The great mentor expressed enough interest in this plan, and he looked at the variables on each data node and asked Calvin one by one.

After getting his accurate and reliable reply, the Grand Master turned his attention to the map with satisfaction.Everyone's eyes also shifted from Calvin's body to the holographic image above his head.

Calvin breathed a sigh of relief. This inexplicable first test after boarding the ship was considered passed.

However, before he could completely relax, a natural question was raised by the archbishop after confirming the feasibility of this plan—who is responsible for carrying out this small-scale delivery mission.

Calvin, who had just come to his senses, looked at the attention and the hopeful eyes of the great teacher who surrounded him again, and had no choice.

He knew very well that according to the command sequence of the entire spaceship, he was indeed the best person to carry out this unplanned delivery mission without affecting the established plan.

And it was at this time that he suddenly realized that he looked at the third company commander who had never continued to argue with the archbishop since he arrived on the podium.

He didn't understand how such a purely calculative problem would entangle these veterans, but the problem came so quickly that he had no chance to doubt it in this direction.

Calvin's conjecture was proved by the figure and smiling face of the other party who had already stood behind the great teacher at some point.

"Master, this group of old birds is joining hands to set me up..."

Calvin looked at the people on the podium who were seriously engaged in a heated discussion on "the plan proposed by Calvin himself", and thought faintly in his heart...

　The status is slowly recovering, the old rules, first launch and then change.
