Chapter 479: Commission
"Don't be so anxious, okay? Our ship is fast, and we can get back in about an hour," UMP45 spoke helplessly, watching AR15 pace around the bridge.
"Hmm..." AR15 glanced at the scenery outside the porthole after hearing this. She wanted to sit down and wait patiently, but before she had even been seated for half a minute, she stood up anxiously again.
Seeing AR15's actions, UMP45 immediately rolled her eyes. This girl is hopeless... But then again, even though the root protocols had been completely deleted, this person still cared so much about the situation of the other members of the AR team. It seems their bond was strong.
"If you can't sit still, go ask Renault about the battle plan for a bit, so you don't rush into a dangerous area like a fool and then drag us into rescuing people."
Since she couldn't stay still, it was better to give her something to do. M1 Garand and the others appeared to have plenty to occupy them. Renault probably didn't have a battle plan because there was no need for one. He had previously said that the mission was very simple: find those Griffin dolls, bring them on board, and then sail away.
The most difficult part of the plan would probably be finding those Griffin dolls.
But if it was Griffin, there was a problem. Sangvis Ferri had blocked Griffin's communications, so contacting all the Griffin forces was difficult.
However, if Renault and his team came, it would be different. Most of Renault's dolls could directly access Sangvis Ferri's communication system. With the help of Sangvis Ferri's intelligence system, MDR or Scarecrow could easily find those Griffin doll echelons.
But this time, UMP45's assumption was wrong. M1 Garand and her team were not busy at all—they were actually quite idle. The dolls, who had already prepared for the attack, were sitting on the hangar floor playing cards. Others were eating, playing games, browsing their phones, making calls, or sewing clothes...
At first glance, it looked like a group of dolls were having a tea party...
AR15's eyes nearly popped out when she saw this! She really didn't expect the dolls on Renault's side to be so casual!
But this wasn't the first time she had seen this messy scene. She shook her head, dismissed the messy thoughts in her head, and found Renault, who was testing the bodies of several Rippers.
"Commander Renault, a moment..."
AR15 had just begun to speak when Renault raised his hand, signaling her to stop.
"Okay, you've said this several times before. If you're upset, find a place to sit down and rest for a while, or go to SPAS-12 to get something to eat."
Why was AR15 on the bridge in the first place?
Hadn't Renault sent her there to see where the spaceship was flying in real-time, hoping it might calm her down? But who would have thought she would come back again?
As if hearing Renault's words, SPAS-12 waved at AR15, shaking an egg tart box in her hand.
"Uh..." Hearing Renault's words, AR15 scratched her head, recalling that she had been walking around in Renault's workshop a quarter of an hour ago.
"Don't worry. Can't you trust your teammates in the AR team a little? It's only an hour. You ran around the S09 area for a whole month without getting caught. Don't you have this much confidence now?"
While speaking, Renault raised his hand and patted one of the Rippers' heads, indicating that the repair was complete.
After replacing the fragile and aging parts, the Rippers had returned to normal. However, since most of the parts were second-hand, they still needed to be tested again.
Seeing their bodies return to normal, the Rippers' previously heartbroken expressions disappeared, and they returned to their posts like hardworking little bees...
In fact, they just picked up tools to help clean up the debris and garbage left by the dolls. Seeing that the Rippers didn't seem to mind, just occasionally glancing at the dolls eating with expectant eyes, Renault couldn't help but feel that these guys were a little pitiful.
AR15, who was standing beside Renault, also had complicated feelings after seeing this. Who would have thought that the Sangvis doll she had once tried to be a mortal enemy with not long ago would now look so harmless?
"Meow!"
AR15 was stunned. She felt something heavy hit her feet, followed by a lazy cry.
Looking down, it was Jaeger's Big Orange rubbing against her ankle.
"Hmm, what on earth did he eat to get so fat? If he keeps this up, his health will become a problem, right?"
Looking at the big orange cat at her feet, AR15 subconsciously bent down to pick it up. But this cat was heavy—almost ten kilograms!
After picking up the fat orange cat, AR15 sat down on the ground, leaning against the ammunition box behind her.
Seeing AR15 actually calm down while stroking the cat, Renault nodded in surprise. If he had known that holding a cat would calm her down, he would have asked Jaeger to bring the big orange cat here earlier.
But this was a hangar. Even though Big Orange was no longer just an ordinary cat, it was still unsafe to be here. If the aircraft took off or the hangar door was opened, the little guy could fall.
Though Jaeger usually didn't pay much attention to the big orange cat's eating habits, he did like his orange cat very much. Not long after AR15 sat down, Jaeger came over and took her away—probably to exchange cat-raising experiences.
Ring ring
Renault glanced at his phone, puzzled. Helian had just called him. Why was she calling again? Wasn't she the type to avoid procrastination?
But when he saw the unfamiliar phone number, Renault raised his eyebrows. He didn't know the person, or perhaps it was the manager of the black market base, angrily calling to scold him.
Or maybe someone had seen the number he'd left on the company page and was calling to offer him a job.
"Hello, Mr. Renault. I'm Geralt, Geralt Earl, a field staff member of Universal Anything. I was wondering if you had time to take our commission?"
