Chapter 14 Almost Exposed
Main control section.
We're back!
Himeko looked up and saw March 7 skipping along, followed by Eve, a gray-haired girl she had never seen before, and Alan floating in the air.
On March 7, while Eve was conducting the rescue operation, she went ahead to the main control module to find Estád and provide technical assistance.
She smiled and said, "March, Miss Eve, thank you for your hard work."
"Oh my, Himeko~~, you have no idea, that antimatter army is like a locust swarm, everywhere, and there are so many of them, we can't possibly defeat them all!!" March 7 said, gesturing as she spoke, describing the scene vividly.
"But luckily, there's Sister Eve, who took them down in no time, hehe..."
As Himeko smiled, she looked at Hoshino. Then, she turned to Hoshino and said, "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Himeko, the navigator of the Starry Sky Train."
"Navigator?" Xing asked, puzzled.
Eve explained from the side, "In other words, the train's actions are mostly at the discretion of Ms. Himeko."
"Oh, I see." Xing nodded.
"By the way, did Little March cause you any trouble along the way?"
Compared to March 7th, she still felt that Eve was more reliable.
"Himeko!!" March 7th shouted.
She immediately said to Xing, "Xing, think it through before you answer."
Xing thought for a moment, then said, "I've never seen such a rash girl."
March 7th immediately pouted, "That's just my personality. I didn't cause any trouble this time... Look, Sister Eve is used to it."
Eve thought for a moment, then counted on her fingers, "Well, apart from running into the enemy ranks, wandering around, and welcoming guests to the curio collection room, I haven't caused any trouble."
"Eve!! You're included in the curiosities room too!! You're the one who blew the door open!!"
"What?!" Alan shouted immediately.
Little Gray Star looked puzzled. What were they talking about?
"Cough cough... Wasn't that done by the Antimatter Legion?" Eve coughed a few times humbly.
Himeko immediately covered her face. Sure enough, he was still not that reliable.
Alan looked at Eve and the others with a very interesting expression on his face.
Himeko paused for a moment, then said to Alan, "Um, Alan, are you alright? Estella was very worried about you."
Alan said, "I'm fine, the wound has been bandaged up."
"Then why are you still floating...?" Himeko pointed at him, who was still floating in the air.
"Um...it's this young lady who won't let me get down," Alan said helplessly.
Eve smiled and said, "After all, your injury hasn't healed yet, and strenuous activity isn't good for your health."
As she spoke, Eve put Alan down.
March 7th pouted and muttered, "What? They just think Alan is too slow..."
“Little, March!!” Eve’s smile froze.
"Cough cough cough..." March 7th immediately lowered his head and became obedient.
Seeing the awkward situation, Alan immediately said, "Well, thank you. I'll go report to Station Master Estádio now."
"After all, the security team suffered heavy losses this time."
As he spoke, Alan's tone became somewhat downcast.
Himeko comforted him, saying, "I know the invasion of the antimatter legion was too sudden, and many people didn't have time to react. Please don't blame yourself."
"Estella is waiting for you inside."
Alan nodded. "I understand."
After saying that, he dragged his limping leg over.
Himeko continued, "After we rest for a bit, we'll go see Estella. She's really worried about you."
..............
Station Master's Control Room.
"Projection radar tracking is normal, but telemetry signal frequency is too high! It must be kept below the average level!"
"According to predictions, the Legion is about to launch more than ten waves of continuous attacks. Hold on, everyone! Lady Black Tower's reinforcements will be arriving soon."
Aistar stood solemnly in front of the virtual monitor, while a staff member sitting in front of a computer not far away typed away non-stop. The stationmaster's office was bustling with activity.
At this moment, Himeko led Eve and the others into the stationmaster's office.
"Estella! We're back!" March 7th jumped up and shouted excitedly from not far away.
Estella hurriedly turned around and glanced back, then realized it was Himeko and the others, and immediately felt relieved. "Phew, I'm glad you're back safe and sound."
“Alan just came by. He told me everything about the containment module and his injuries…”
"Ah, ah, he told you everything?" March 7th asked humbly.
Eve, standing to the side, coughed guiltily.
Oh no, the truth about the collection room can't be kept secret anymore. It's all March 7th's fault!!
“Yes, those antimatter legions are truly despicable. They not only invaded the space station, but they also raided Lady Black Tower’s curio collection.” A fiery blaze ignited in Estelle’s eyes.
"Once the space station's systems are back up and running, I'm going to teach them a lesson they won't forget!!"
Hearing Estelle say that, Eve and March 7 breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Alan did not expose them.
At this moment, Estelle sighed, "Alas, when disaster strikes, we realize even more that the crew members are the most valuable asset of the space station... We are far too unprepared for emergencies and have neglected the development of security and combat personnel."
Hearing Estelle say this, everyone sighed.
The Legion's invasion has caused immense casualties to the space station.
Nearly half of the security personnel were killed or wounded, and most of the space station was overrun.
Eve asked, "How's the space station doing now?"
Estella shook her head. "The security system has also been rewritten by the intruders, and it hasn't been fixed yet."
Eve frowned slightly. "Has the system not been fixed yet? Let me see."
"Do you have a solution?" Estella's eyes lit up.
She immediately stepped aside, handing over control to Eve.
Eve stepped forward, her gaze fixed on the virtual display screen.
"Fortunately, I had some experience with this kind of thing before."
“This…” Estella’s heart, which had been at ease, started to race again when she heard Eve say that.
March 7th, standing nearby, also felt a pang of anxiety.
Eve then continued, "That is, a complete Void system was established on its own."
"Phew..." Estella breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know what the Void System is, the fact that it can be built into a complete, independent system means it's not just theoretical.
“Eve!! Can you stop panting when you talk?!” March 7th shouted.
Eve ignored March 7th and continued operating the system, while injecting a ball of green light into it.
As a former developer of Void, although I didn't know the specific system of the space station, finding the intrusion Trojan was a piece of cake.
Seeing Eve's serious expression, Estella curiously asked Himeko, "Himeko-neechan, I saw she also has a train ticket. Who is this...?"
Himeko immediately remembered, "This is a member who recently boarded the train, an unnamed guest, Miss Eve."
"Oh, I see." Estella nodded.
"Almost there." After a series of steps, Eve finally found the problem.
"How is it, Miss Eve?" Himeko asked immediately.
"This intruder is highly skilled, and the Trojan virus they left behind is also very powerful. The core data has been rewritten, and it will probably require them to do it themselves."
"No way, does that mean we can't fix it at all?" Estella said disappointedly.
“No, who said it needed to be rewritten? We’ll just cut off the source of the problem.” Eve smiled slightly.
