Chapter 5: Mansa and the Zerg
The Uruk strike cruiser jumped out of the subspace from the Mandeville Point of the Rem galaxy and arrived at the desolate outer area of the galaxy.
A dozen Rogue Trader cargo ships loaded with industrial products are now preparing to enter the subspace to transport the goods produced by Marsdan to other star systems.
"Astartes warships, is there another enemy in this galaxy? No world is peaceful these days!"
The old captain of one of the cargo ships couldn't help but sigh after recognizing the identity of the ship. He watched the Uruk sail towards the interior of the galaxy. The armor of the ship reflected silver light under the starlight of the galaxy, like a ship moving silently in the sea. iceberg.
When the battleship disappeared from the captain's sight, he was secretly glad that his cargo had left in time, otherwise he might have been involved in an unknown battle.
As the subspace barrier fluctuated, cargo ships entered the subspace one after another and sailed to their respective destinations.
After the Uruk strike cruiser sailed regularly for a period of time, the projection of the industrial planet Marsdan appeared on the bridge of the strike cruiser. In addition to the synchronous satellite Danport, there was also an additional member of the Mechanicum in the orbit of the planet. space station.
The space station's surveillance system directly locked onto the strike cruiser approaching Marsdan and began routine monitoring and identification:
Continuous tracking: The sensor array is scanning, and the unknown battleship keel tag is being identified.
Result confirmed: Adeptus Astartes strike cruiser ship name and chapter name Inquisition secret, will not be displayed
Tech-Priest Vitalier, who was on the space station, did not know the purpose of the Astartes strike cruiser coming to Marsdan, and there was no direct communication with the other party. He guessed that this was probably a confidential operation of the Inquisition, so he did not Forward this message to Planetary Governor Mantha.
The Uruk came to a slow stop in Dan Port. After the battleship's air-tight door was opened, the clerical nun Yin Sha went to the Governor's Mansion with an invitation letter and accompanied by an armed sailor.
When she came to the door of the magnificent and solemn palace, she handed the invitation directly to the servant of the planetary governor, and then returned to Uruk.
"Grand Master, I have sent your invitation letter to the Governor's Mansion. The planetary governor of Marsdan will come to see you soon."
Yin Sha walked into the living room and told Tai Yue that although she was curious about why the Grand Master invited the planetary governor of this industrial planet alone, she would not directly interfere with the Grand Master's decision.
"After she boards the Uruk, you go and bring her here."
Tai Yue assigned Yin Sha a new task.
Yin Sha nodded, turned and left the living room. She suddenly felt like a servant nun socializing among nobles, rather than a clerical nun studying alien language.
An hour later, the sound of crisp footsteps reached Tai Yue's ears, who was resting with his eyes closed. When the door of the living room opened again, Tai Yue finally saw Mansha.
She wore a violet velvet robe with a surface as smooth as water. The cuffs and hem were decorated with glittering ruby trim. Gorgeous clothes were her preference and a way to highlight the identity and authority of the planetary governor.
Tai Yue waved his hand, and Yin Sha immediately exited the conference room and closed the door of the conference hall.
"Your Majesty the God-Emperor, thank you Lord Astartes for the invitation. I am Samantha, the planetary governor of Marsdan!"
The pale purple eyes under Mansha's slender eyebrows looked directly at the Astartes in power armor, with a slight frown on her smooth and thin face.
When she received the invitation letter signed by the Lord of the Nachmond sub-sector, she immediately contacted Technical Priest Vitalier. When she knew that the person was related to the Tribunal, she guessed that the Tribunal sent someone to arrest him. By myself.
Maybe this is your destiny. The person you once missed may never come back. It's better to face it directly after escaping for so long.
"I used to be Marsden's maintenance worker, Mansha. Come back and be safe!"
Tai Yue took off his helmet and said with a smile.
When Mansha looked at the familiar but more mature face, she couldn't help but tremble all over, and tears came out of her eyes. She was at a loss at this moment, and she couldn't hide the joy and longing in her heart.
As the two looked at each other, Mansha walked up quickly and hugged Taiyue tightly. The ecstasy at this moment made her feel like she was in another world.
"I want to test your body now."
Tai Yue carried Mansha to the corner of the conference hall, and Mansha immediately blushed.
In the corner stood a scanning machine, a device used by the Mechanicum's biological mages to scan for infections from Genestealers.
He placed Mansha on the scanner table and touched the button to start the scanner.
The scan quickly revealed the abnormal cells in Mansha's body. These abnormal cells had very low activity and clustered together without spreading to the brain or spine.
"As I can perceive with my psychic ability, there are four clusters of alien cells on your back."
Before Tai Yue finished speaking, he made a new discovery:
"The normal cells in your body show no signs of aging. It may be caused by the hormones secreted by the alien cell clusters or the psychic phenomena produced by the alien cell clusters. These cells are symbiotic with you!"
Mansha is not surprised by this result. She has been monitoring her body's condition to prevent it from affecting others.
"Do these alien cells affect your consciousness or behavior?"
Taiyue is more concerned about this issue at the moment.
"No, after establishing a spiritual connection with you, the alien cells in my body were suppressed. I don't even need to inject drugs to control these alien cells."
Mansha shook her head after getting off the scanner. She took off the long white glove on her left hand, placed her slender index finger on her red lips, and bit out a wound.
A dozen kinds of tiny zerg full of vitality soon hatched out of the dripping blood:
Beetles with single-molecule sharp blades on their heads, flying insects with spikes on their tails that carry various toxins, and explosive bugs that can detonate flammable substances in their bodies.
"I can even control the creatures developed from these alien cells to attack the enemy."
After Mansha finished speaking, the Zerg surrounded Taiyue.
"I didn't use psychic energy to contact you when I got here because I was worried that the alien cells in your body would change. Now it seems that I was overly worried.
The alien cells themselves come from genestealers and possess the genes of the Tyranids. The zerg developed from them naturally have the characteristics of the Tyranids. Now your psychic powers can fully control the alien cells and zerg. "
Tai Yue expressed his conjecture, and then used the spiritual power of death multiplication to instantly turn these insects into ashes.
Mansha seemed to understand, but she knew that if it weren't for Taiyue's subspace shadow attribute psychic power, she would not be able to fully control the alien cells in her body, let alone control these zerg.
"Now take Phyllis and I to meet our adoptive father. I don't know if the orphanage he opened is still there."
Tai Yue suddenly said that he recalled his life in Marsdan.
"Lord Charles left Marsden three years ago, but I have always taken care of the orphanage he left behind."
Mansha's reply stunned Taiyue. He didn't expect that his adoptive father had already left here.
