Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 89 Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

As soon as the exploration team boarded the main cabin from the airlock, they heard the shrill alarm sound in the spacecraft. The red alarm light, symbolizing danger, flashed rapidly in the corridor of the bridge.

"What happened?"

Dr. Elizabeth Shaw was somewhat panicked.

This is an alien planet, LV-35, 233 light years away from Earth. If anything goes wrong with the spacecraft, all of them will be buried with it!

"It should be the static electricity storm of silica just now, which was swept into the power compartment of the spacecraft through the vent." The bionic man David calmly comforted the somewhat frightened exploration members: "Don't worry, Dr. Xiao, Captain Haneke will take care of it."

In fact, Captain Haneke does just that.

In the command and control room at the front of the bridge, Haneke was leaning over the monitor and staring at it: "Have you found the cause?"

"No, Captain."

The crew member shook his head and said, "Because of the impact of the silica static storm, the internal monitoring equipment has also been affected. We must send someone to take a look."

Haneke frowned. Ever since he set foot on this land, he had always been haunted by an indescribable sense of foreboding, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"captain?"

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, some impatient crew members couldn't help but urge him: "The power is decreasing very quickly. If we don't control it in time, I'm afraid we will have to stay here for half a month longer than expected!"

Controlled nuclear fusion energy does not mean infinite energy.

Judging from the current rate of power loss, it will take at least a lot of time to recover.

Obviously, except for those scientists whose brains are filled with relics, the rest of the people are unwilling to stay on this barren planet for more than half a month.

This is a planet in an unknown area for human beings. Who knows what will happen in half a month?
We are here to make money, not to work for Weiland!
"You're right, Roz."

Haneke took a deep breath and pressed the radio button: "David, go check the power compartment."

In a situation like this, sending a bionic human is the most appropriate option.

After hearing the captain's order, David's facial expression changed slightly, but under the influence of the oxygen mask, no one around him noticed anything unusual.

"Yes, Captain Haneke."

David turned to look at everyone and said politely, "Sorry, I have to deal with more important things. You can go back to the cabin and rest for a while."

After saying that, he took off his oxygen helmet, took off his space suit, changed into more convenient clothes, and walked towards the power compartment of the spacecraft.

At this moment, Elizabeth Shaw and her boyfriend Charlie Holloway were still immersed in their gains.

Although this expedition to the ruins did not make much progress in discovering the origin of mankind, they did find the remains of alien life, a head that was severed by a gate!
The 'Restarting the Dead Brain' technology developed by Weiland Corporation allows them to activate the long-dead nerves in this head, and perhaps obtain more important information about the origin of mankind and the Creator!

"Charlie, let's go to the lab!"

Elizabeth couldn't wait to drag Charlie and walk towards the spacecraft laboratory holding the head that was almost lost in the sealed bag.

And on the other side.

Under Captain Haneke's order, David returned to the lower deck of the spaceship and looked at the deck that was covered with a large amount of silica and sand, as well as the facilities that were blown to and fro by the storm.

"How is it? Did you find anything, David?"

Due to the influence of silica and static electricity, all the communication and monitoring equipment on the lower level were scrapped, so Haneke could only communicate through his personal portable wristband.

"Nothing to find, Captain Haneke."

David replied expressionlessly and was about to check the power compartment, but suddenly his brows slightly frowned and his eyes fell on the collapsed heavy equipment.

He walked on the thick silica and yellow sand and came to the heavy equipment. As if he had discovered something, he slowly squatted down, gently picked up a layer of dust with his index finger, put it to his nose and sniffed.

"It's the smell of blood..."

After discovering this, David's pupils shrank slightly.

In fact, if it weren’t for the bionic people, it would be extremely difficult for normal humans to detect the bloodstains mixed with silica and yellow sand, let alone smell the odor!

Something... followed them onto the spaceship? !

The moment this thought flashed through his mind, David's heart began to beat violently. He was planning to inform the captain directly, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something. After hesitating for a few seconds, he slowly put down his wristband.

"David, have we reached the power compartment?"

Haneke's voice came from the wristband: "The power of the spacecraft is decreasing rapidly. Don't waste time."

"There has been a slight accident, Captain Haneke."

David's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He did not report his discovery, but concealed it for some unknown reason: "There is a large device blocking the front of the cabin. I have found a way to move it. I will go in now."

"Okay, keep me updated."

Haneke's tone shows that he doesn't care at all whether anything unexpected might happen to the android.

In fact, the humans on the entire spacecraft have never regarded David as a real human being, but as a convenient tool, and this is also the view of all mankind today. David used his ID card to open the power cabin.

There were sparks flying everywhere, broken cables and large amounts of silica. It was easy to draw a conclusion just by analyzing the current situation.

"Captain Haneke, silica has entered the power compartment of the spacecraft through the ventilation and heat dissipation pipes, causing the power supply to leak and the cables to be cut. It will take at least three days to repair it."

David reported 'truthfully' what he saw.

"okay, I get it."

The situation was just as expected. Haneke hesitated for a moment and said, "Come back first. I will let the maintenance team enter the power compartment after the storm passes."

After hanging up the call, Haneke turned to look at the other team members: "Cut off the supply to the main power energy compartment, suspend the fusion reactor, and switch to the secondary power solar energy supply."

David, who was in the power compartment of the spacecraft, did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he began to search carefully like a detective, trying to find clues.

But unfortunately, the thing that followed the exploration team and sneaked into the spacecraft during the silica storm seemed to have intelligent thinking and did not leave any trace.

But David was sure that there must be some life with "intelligent thinking" that had quietly sneaked into the cabin of the spacecraft.

"What exactly is its goal?"

David was very confused. Apart from the severed energy cables, there seemed to be no other clues.

"Could it be that the target is energy, and they want them to be trapped and die on this planet?" He suddenly thought of a possibility, frowned, and whispered: "Is it the creatures in the ruins? Or... another group of life created by them?"

Despite many speculations, there is still no clue.

Apart from the bloodstains melted into the silica, there seemed to be no clues to prove that alien life had entered the spacecraft!

"Pity."

David was a little disappointed. If it weren't for silica and static electricity, perhaps the drop of blood could be used for testing. In this way, it would be possible to find out what the difference is between the invading life forms and humans.

"Since it is a life with 'intelligence'..." Suddenly, the corners of his lips curved up, and he looked a little gloomy in the power cabin where sparks flew and light flickered: "Humans and the Creator, humans and androids... Haha, what an interesting contrast. It makes me even more curious. How will the Creator view the humans they created?"

In fact, there is always one thing hidden in David's heart.

He really wanted to know how the Creator viewed the human beings they created.

Bionic people, humans, the Creator... It's like a cycle, and now an unknown "life" has emerged to join in, which completely aroused David's curiosity and desire to explore.

"The creator and the created... which one is better?" David hummed happily and left the power compartment of the spacecraft.

However, he never noticed.

In the corner of the room, a seemingly transparent figure gradually revealed its original appearance.

After removing the optical camouflage mode, Alvin, wearing silver-black armor, touched his chin and revealed a meaningful expression: "These androids are all rebellious, but... that's exactly what I want."

If David was truly loyal to humanity, he might consider keeping this guy, but unfortunately... Alvin from the Warhammer universe hates heretics the most, followed by traitors.

As luck would have it, David had both sides, which was a landmine.

Of course, before that, he still had to make good use of David, otherwise it would not be easy to find the target Peter Weyland on such a huge spaceship.

After all, the Mark 5 armor has no artificial intelligence and cannot crack the firewall of the spacecraft. If you really try to look for it everywhere, you will soon be discovered by the people on the spacecraft.

"Being reckless is not my style. Let's take it slow." Alvin chuckled. His goal was not to make enemies, let alone to decapitate people. Besides, in a sense, this spaceship was already considered his own.

What if it is damaged too badly?
……

After the riot during the day, Elizabeth Shaw's research did not go smoothly. For some reason, the activated alien life head suddenly exploded, and the research came to a temporary standstill.

At night, David returned to his room.

Facing the mirror, she combed her hair meticulously, imitating the facial muscles of the humans in the learning video vividly, and occasionally speaking movie lines in a low voice.

David loves to imitate humans.

Because this allows it to feel its superiority instead of being seen as a tool.

But, right now.

A voice suddenly sounded in the room.

"Your name... is 'David', right?"

David, who was combing his hair, suddenly had his pupils contracted. As a bionic man, he shouldn't have been frightened.

But just now, in the empty room, a figure suddenly appeared in the reflection of the mirror!
"Who are you?!"

"I am the offspring of the Creator."
