Chapter 307 Foundation
Organizations such as foundations are easily associated with keywords such as evil, conspiracy, and mystery, whether in movies, games, or in reality.
Whether it is the classic ‘S*P Foundation’ or the ‘Mobius Foundation’, or the infamous ‘Open Society Foundation’ in Amber’s previous life.
The ‘Foundation for the Truth’ in “Starry Sky OL” is no exception. As an organization dedicated to discovering Forerunner relics everywhere and trying to catch up with the Forerunners, it also has a bit of mystery.
When the officials of several major forces began to reduce their investment in the discovery of Forerunner relics, the Foundation for the Truth has become the most powerful organization among all official and unofficial organizations.
With the support of the mysterious sponsor behind it, the Foundation for the Truth does not need to consider profit, but only needs to ensure that all valuable Forerunner relics are in their hands.
At the same time, the Foundation for the Truth has a large number of professional armed personnel and its own subordinate fleets. From the perspective of military strength alone, it is comparable to several major private military companies on the Federation side.
If it were just that, the Atlas Group currently does not have any anxiety about the strength of "military strength" when facing these private organizations.
What really makes Amber feel difficult about the Truth Seeking Foundation is that they have an unknown number of psychics.
As the plot of the game develops, this foundation has gradually evolved from the initial plot background board to a "villain organization" that is plotting something in the dark.
At least before Amber crossed over, she had participated in the strategy of several copies related to the "Truth Seeking Foundation" and fought with the armed forces under the foundation.
And in a research institute of the Truth Seeking Foundation, it was discovered that they were trying to combine ancient creatures found in some ruins with humans, which is a "classic in the classic" plot.
When the members of the main group saw this, they all complained that this plot was too unoriginal. Why do they have to drag humans to do this kind of "combination experiment" every time they discover these mysterious creatures?
Can't they do some "tentacle x elf" experiments?
But when Amber traveled to this world now, he found that he could no longer make such jokes, let alone laugh.
Because from a certain perspective, the Seeking Truth Foundation is really a more difficult enemy.
It's like throwing a player who is serious about the plot into the world of "StarCraft 2" and telling him: "You have to kill Mengsk."
Or throwing him into the world of "Mass Effect" and telling the player: "You have to take up the banner of resisting the Reaper, oh! By the way, this time you only have one life~" It's just as outrageous.
But Amber quickly calmed down. Anyway, the Federation, the Empire, and the Elves have already been contacted. Although the distant commercial alliance has not been contacted for the time being, it will eventually be contacted in the future.
Compared with the contact with the Seeking Truth Foundation, the various things he is doing now don't seem to be much safer.
"Forget it, I'm here now."
On the spaceship heading to Wang Liangsi in Cassiopeia, Amber used this old saying many times to comfort herself.
Now more than 20 days have passed since Amber and her team set out. Amber finally understood why the Empire and the Federation had no interest in this place, because it was too far away.
In the early days of the "Interstellar Navigation", when the star map was not yet complete, if a ship accidentally hit this place, it would basically be a death sentence.
In addition, there was nothing valuable at the destination except a huge and glowing yellow giant star. If it had not discovered the remains of the Forerunners, the Truth Seeking Foundation would probably not have come to this place.
Since the information collected by the intelligence analysis team showed that the Truth Seeking Foundation had blocked the entire area near Wang Liangsi, this operation would definitely not be able to be carried out in a swagger.
At this time, the Atlas Group's "meritorious battleship", the "Dragoon-class" destroyer as the first flagship, came in handy.
After a major transformation, the destroyer, renamed "Polarized Light", has been transformed into a "special mission ship" dedicated to covert strike operations.
Unlike those 'stealth bombers' that focus on stealth attack and bombing, the reborn 'Polarized Light' not only ensures a certain strike capability, but also has the ability to sustain itself in high-risk areas, electronic warfare attack and combat support.
Atlas engineers almost racked their brains to integrate so many modules into this now seemingly 'small' warship.
Finally, after completing the acquisition of 'Poseidon Shipbuilding', a group of more professional engineers there provided remote support to finally complete the transformation of the 'Polarized Light'.
This 'special mission ship', which has greatly improved its performance in terms of mobility, firepower, flexibility, electronic warfare, and covert operations, has also become the best vehicle for Amber to go to Wang Liangsi this time.
The captain is an old acquaintance and European emperor Tom.
As the first tactical information coordinator who discovered the anomaly in Robert IV-Lansford Naval Port, Tom can be said to be one of the witnesses of the outbreak of the war between the Federation and the Empire.
Afterwards, he followed Randall all the way from Lansford Harbor to the ground in an escape pod after being shot. Fortunately, he met Amber and the others and was successfully given first aid by Isabel.
Immediately afterwards, in the battle of the Nameless Woodland, Tom followed Randall and successfully attracted the attention of the Imperial HCP with anti-vehicle missiles. While helping Amber complete the "explosion" in adversity, he also followed Randall into the pit to avoid the firepower coverage of the Imperial HCP and survived.
Later, he followed Amber and others all the way back to the space elevator, snatched an Imperial frigate and escaped.
After leaving Robert IV and establishing Atlas with Amber and others, Tom returned to his old job and returned to the familiar position of tactical information coordinator. He was promoted in the rapidly expanding fleet and eventually became the first captain of this special mission ship.
The reason why he got this position was also very simple, that is, in the final test-a simulated battle of commanding warships to "fight" in a high-risk environment, he showed a very high "Old Six" talent, killed all the captains who participated in the test, and successfully survived to the end.
"Boss, we expect to be out of the jump in 3 hours, and then our ship will enter the 'covert action mode' to pass the blockade of the Quest for Truth Foundation."
Tom, who looked very serious after putting on the captain's uniform, looked at Amber floating on the side of the bridge and spoke.
Although he is now the captain and is an old acquaintance of Amber, he still felt a little nervous when carrying out this mission.
After all, Amber's importance to Atlas is self-evident. According to gossip, there is even a kind of suspected 'Amber worship' in the Roma community.
This mission is carried out by a single ship in an area far away from the company's support range. The risk still exists, and it is not small.
"Relax, Tom. This is not the first time you've been on a mission. Don't be so nervous."
Amber looked at Tom's expression, floated over and patted his shoulder with a smile.
At the same time, Isabel also floated in from the passage of the bridge, and saw Amber and said:
"Amber, your exoskeleton has been debugged!"
"Wait. Your words always give me a sense of déjà vu"
"Ah?"
