From the moment Xiao Ran entered Prometheus, he had arrived at various mission worlds with his own knowledge. He never needed to understand the inexplicable history and development trajectories of the various worlds that Prometheus had injected into his mind. He already had the clearest understanding of what had happened, what was happening now, and what would happen in the future.
He knew how the story would develop, and he also knew what stage he could gain from it. He also had a basic understanding of everyone in the storyline and the changes his actions would bring. These were all things that originally belonged to him.
For Prometheus, the basic history and development trajectories injected into his mind were not as much as Xiao Ran's own understanding. All the information was basically useless information, at least for Xiao Ran. Therefore, even if Prometheus took back the useless information, it would not cause Xiao Ran's original memories to disappear.
Xiao Ran had a complete understanding of each world, unlike the other participants who had zero knowledge. Naturally, they would leave empty-handed. However, when Xiao Ran entered a certain world, he did not come empty-handed. Instead, he came with all his memories and understandings, which overlapped with the things that Prometheus should have blurred. In the rigid and inflexible cognition of Prometheus, it seemed that he could not distinguish what should be blurred, or rather, he could not distinguish what belonged to Xiao Ran's original memories. Therefore, he tacitly assumed that all the actions triggered by Xiao Ran's memories were part of Xiao Ran's original memories.
For example, even if a participant's memories of this world were blurred, the process of this world, the background, the main storyline, and some things related to this world would be blurred. However, the number of battles they had fought, how they fought, and what kind of powerful enemies they encountered would not disappear.
Prometheus's power was too unfathomable, so even if their memories were blurred, it didn't mean that the participants didn't really gain anything. That feeling was just like what Barsad said, they clearly knew what had happened. But if one thought about it carefully, it would become specious and indescribable. In fact, there was a person who seemed to be very important to the mission world, but no matter how hard one tried, they could not remember who that person was. Even if they could remember, it was just a blurry figure that could not be described at all.
Therefore, these were blurred and cleared. For Xiao Ran, who already knew everything, it was useless. Even if it could blur the things that Xiao Ran did not know, such as the current population of PLANT, the population of Aube, and the population of the Earth Union, it would not be useful. What was the use of that kind of thing being blurred? It also wouldn't affect Xiao Ran's own memories.
Therefore, whether Prometheus would return Xiao Ran's memories of this world to Xiao Ran did not matter at all to him.
After obtaining his own identity from Prometheus, he did not get any information about this identity or class. However, because Prometheus wanted to weaken Xiao Ran's advantage, he unexpectedly used coercive means to give Xiao Ran a special identity. He also gave him a different faction. It was not as clean as the other worlds, so this time, Xiao Ran was given a few faces and names, but that was it.
These few faces included the current commander of Xiao Ran's identity. He was also the commander of the Phantom Pain Unit that did not appear in the original storyline, including the name of the captain of the ship he was currently on. The other three faces were the three roaches that Neo had personally selected for the first time, Stella, * * * * *, and Orr.
However, other than the commander of the Phantom Pain Unit and the captain of this ship, it did not matter to Xiao Ran whether the three faces and names of the three roaches were supplemented by Prometheus or not. Apart from the change of identity and faction, Xiao Ran's only gain other than being able to personally lead the three roaches was the first two faces and names.
But even without these things, Xiao Ran would not be a problem. Perhaps the other participants would carefully obtain more information at the beginning of the mission. After carefully figuring out the mission he was about to carry out, Xiao Ran immediately understood what he had to do after seeing the first main mission.
They circled around this place that looked like the commander's lounge, except for a set of black Earth Alliance Army military uniform. However, Xiao Ran did not find the helmet with black and red stripes that should have been there. That helmet was originally the helmet that Mu Di wore to become Neo Roanoke.
In order to find this helmet, not only did Xiao Ran look at it, he also personally searched for it. He searched the entire room but still couldn't find it. This made Xiao Ran somewhat helplessly smile bitterly. "After all this time, I even have to prepare the mask myself. This identity is really random."
He shook his head. Xiao Ran took out his own mask that had been reforged by Luo for a long time and covered his face with it. After putting on the black and quite fitting Earth Alliance Army uniform, he took the initiative to walk out of the lounge. After identifying the direction of the bridge, he slowly walked out while holding the strap of his hand.
After entering the bridge, Xiao Ran attracted the attention of almost everyone in the bridge because of the sound of the bridge door opening and closing. However, after those people saw that the person who came in was Xiao Ran, except for the man sitting in the captain's seat, the rest of them turned their heads and sat down again.
There was an empty seat next to the captain's seat. Without looking, Xiao Ran knew that it should be his seat. However, what caught Xiao Ran's attention was the hourglass colonial satellite cluster in the distance outside the transparent glass of the bridge. After flying over lightly and fixing himself in his seat, the captain sitting in the chair said, "Colonel Neo, there are still about two hours before the operation starts. You can rest more."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly. He had at least obtained some information from Major Lee. There was only one or two hours left until the official start of the mission. According to Prometheus' usual practice, the participants would be given some time to prepare before the start of the first main mission. This way, they wouldn't have to enter this world in a blind state from the very start.
However, these people didn't seem to be surprised by the mask on his face, which made him relax a little. Otherwise, if someone was curious about why his mask was different, it would cause him to have more twists and turns in the situation where he wasn't too familiar with this spaceship, and he would have to find some excuse to cover it up. But speaking of which, Neo was now Xiao Ran. Perhaps he would always be Xiao Ran in this world. Mu was never Neo in this changed world, so he wouldn't wear a mask. Therefore, Xiao Ran didn't have to deliberately do some strange actions to imitate anyone. He just had to be himself and be Neo.
Xiao Ran leaned gently against the back of the chair and habitually tapped his right hand on the armrest. After thinking carefully for a moment, he asked, "What's the current situation?"
"According to the plan, the three of them have already entered the satellite where Armory 1 is located. After they leave the spaceport, they will contact our spies and start the operation according to the scheduled time. The operation will start in about an hour and thirty minutes. Because of the mirage system, the Zaft army hasn't noticed that we have entered their sphere of influence. "
Xiao Ran listened to the report of Ian Lee, who was supposed to be a stranger to him but had become his subordinate because of Prometheus. He nodded slightly and had a more detailed report. At the very least, Xiao Ran completely matched the development stage of the Gundam SEED-D plot. According to Major Ian Lee, the three Cockroaches should have just arrived at the spaceport. According to the original plot, Aslan and Kajali should have arrived at the satellite around the same time.
It wouldn't be long before Stella and Real Flying Bird, whom he had planted in the Zaft army, would have a dream-like encounter. Of course, this kind of encounter didn't mean much to the innocent Stella, but to Real Flying Bird, it would be an intimate encounter that would make her blush.
Xiao Ran groaned and stood up from his chair. He said to Ian Lee, "I'm going to check the bodies. There will be a fierce battle later. The Zaft army won't let us take away their new models so easily. Let the maintenance team do a final check on all the bodies. Make sure there are no problems with the Tyranny collective. "
"Yes, Senior Colonel Neo." Ian Lee nodded at Xiao Ran. When Xiao Ran left the bridge, he picked up the communicator beside him and ordered the maintenance team to do a final check on all the bodies of the spaceship.
Xiao Ran asked Ian Lee to order the maintenance team to check the bodies of the spaceships. It seemed like he was preparing for the fierce battle that was likely to happen, but in reality, Xiao Ran wanted to personally understand the specific combat power of the spaceship. That was why Ian Lee ordered the maintenance team to do a final check on all the bodies of the spaceships.
Most importantly, Xiao Ran wanted to find out what kind of mech his identity was piloting. He knew that it was unlikely to be his personal Justice Gundam. Otherwise, he could single-handedly take down the mech stolen by the Three Roaches, or even the Pulse Gundam piloted by Real Flying Bird.
His current identity as Neo was even less likely to be piloting a spaceship that obviously belonged to Aube in the war two years ago. It was more likely that it was a custom-made spaceship of the Phantom Unit or an improved spaceship. Anyway, it was fine as long as it wasn't the MA piloted by Neo.
When Sheyan arrived at Gnacou, he saw four or five mass-produced improved spaceships for the Phantom Unit. All of them were modified from the second-generation Shortsword GAT-02L2. Its performance was much better than the original Shortsword GAT-02L2. Among them, there were two cannon-type spaceships. Three of them were assault-type spaceships.
As for the last spaceship, Xiao Ran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the familiar spaceship. It was the only custom-made spaceship in the entire Gnacou other than the five mass-produced spaceships. No matter how he looked at it, it should belong to him. Even though this spaceship had been greatly improved, and its color was still purple, which Xiao Ran didn't like. However, Xiao Ran couldn't be more familiar with the prototype of this spaceship.
Because the prototype of this spaceship had accompanied him for a long time, and had undergone many changes according to his preferences, the moment he saw this spaceship in front of him, even though it had undergone adaptive modifications and its head was also modified into the shape of a shortsword that wasn't a Gundam, all the similar features showed that this spaceship was a copy of the spaceship he once piloted, the Holy Shield Gundam.
However, this Holy Shield Gundam was very different from the Holy Shield Modification he previously obtained. The thrusters on both sides of the Holy Shield Modification had been modified into something like wings, but this Holy Shield Gundam didn't have any thrusters hanging on both sides of its thighs. The parts that were originally on both sides of its thighs had been moved to the back. On both sides of its thighs, there was something that looked like a variant of its feet, but it also had flat-shaped wings that looked like fish fins.
Of course, Xiao Ran could only observe these things with his naked eyes. As for how they were used, and what special functions the two long-armed wings had, it was still unknown. However, this spaceship reminded Xiao Ran of an identical spaceship, the Red Holy Shield.
"Could this be a prototype? Or a prototype? " Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows. He couldn't quite figure out the origin of this spaceship. If it was just the Holy Shield Gundam, then even if it had undergone some modifications, it was still the same spaceship. Xiao Ran could grasp it as quickly as possible, but he needed to understand the spaceship's armed components as soon as possible. Therefore, after taking a good look at this unique Holy Shield Gundam, Xiao Ran leaped high into the air and entered the cockpit.
After turning on the spaceship's main system, Xiao Ran learned from the system's startup screen that this spaceship actually didn't have a Gundam name. Just as he thought, this was a spaceship that was originally used as an experimental spaceship. The startup screen clearly indicated the experimental code. As for how it ended up in his hands and became Neo's personal spaceship, Xiao Ran probably couldn't figure it out.
While inspecting the spaceship's system, Xiao Ran also discovered that there were a lot of traces of modifications in the system's OS. He could even find some information about the spaceship's original state from the log. Originally, this spaceship wasn't equipped with anything like the PS Armour, but now it was equipped with the VPS Armour, which was a better defensive measure than the PS Armour.
For example, the spaceship's original main weapon was just a beam cannon like the Holy Shield Gundam, but now it was equipped with a beam rifle on each side. Moreover, the long-armed two-armed front end of the spaceship also had the ability to fire beam cannons. What really surprised Xiao Ran was that this spaceship was equipped with four dragoons.
