It was three days later when the Normandy arrived at the Wandering Galaxy.

"Pay attention to your surroundings. The asteroid belt is not far ahead."

Staring at the screen in front of him, Shepard looked serious and solemn.

"I still can't believe we're actually going here... Are you sure there's really anyone in this place?"

While operating the battleship, the driver Joker sighed helplessly.

"The Wandering Galaxy is already the edge of the Milky Way, right? Isn't this a forbidden zone for life? Why would anyone want to live here?"

"In any case, we must investigate... Everyone, please note that the other party's identity is unknown, their origins are unknown, and..."

"commander."

But before Shepard could finish her words, someone else interrupted her.

"The long-range scanner detected something, an unidentified ship, like a cruiser!"

Hearing this, Shepard was also surprised.

"Is it those people?"

"It doesn't match any known signal, nor is it the battleship signal that the Turian fleet had previously acquired!"

As the clown spoke, his expression became serious.

"The cruiser is changing course and is now on an interception route!"

Hearing this, Shepard was shocked.

"They are about to attack! Dodge immediately!"

"yes!"

Under the control of the clown, the Normandy quickly dodged to the side, but at the same time, a golden beam suddenly shot out from the strange cruiser not far behind them and blasted towards the Normandy. Although the Normandy barely avoided the opponent's attack under the control of the clown, it was still hit by the opponent's beam and hit the edge of the ship.

"boom!!"

The entire battleship trembled violently, and then sparks and flames were seen flying inside.

"The kinetic barrier is gone! The hull is damaged, the weapon system is ineffective...!!"

The clown was operating the battleship desperately while reporting loudly.

"Someone come and put out the fire quickly..."

"Bang!"

Shepard smashed the glass next to him, took out a fire extinguisher, and quickly sprayed it at the flames on the operating table while calmly giving orders.

"Send a distress signal! Leave the battlefield immediately!"

"I'm trying, but I don't have enough power! It's hard to get out of the planned route... The second attack is coming!"

"Everyone, prepare to withstand the impact!"

At this moment Shepard also shouted, then hurriedly grabbed the wall next to him, waiting for the explosion to come.

However……

“Swish!”

Just as the mysterious cruiser's attack was about to hit the Normandy, a faint blue beam suddenly shot out from a distance and hit the Normandy. Then the Normandy was instantly wrapped in an elliptical energy shield. The attack of the mysterious cruiser was like a drop in the ocean after hitting the energy shield, and there was no reaction.

"What's this?"

Looking at the strange energy shield outside, Shepard was also surprised, and the Joker widened his eyes.

"I don't know...it seems to be some kind of energy barrier...it's not our technology, but it completely neutralized the attack!"

"Titration..."

However, at this moment, the monitor in front of everyone suddenly flashed, and then a girl with white twin ponytails and red eyes appeared on the screen.

"Hi~! This is the Blue Fleet Vampire. Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"We are the SSV Normandy, a direct subordinate of the Citadel! We have been ordered to come to the Wandering Galaxy to conduct an investigation!"

Although he was confused as to why a little girl was communicating with him, Shepard responded immediately.

"We were attacked by an unknown warship on the way, requesting support."

"Ah... As expected, I was wondering why you two didn't look like a group of people."

After listening to Shepard's story, the vampire nodded, then she turned her head and said something.

"Sister Rodney, let's do it. The guy behind doesn't look like a good person."

“——!”

As the little girl finished her words, Shepard suddenly saw a dazzling beam of energy appear in the dark universe in the distance on the screen, and it directly hit the strange cruiser that had attacked the Normandy before. Under the bombardment of this beam, the cruiser only lasted less than five seconds before being directly penetrated, and then completely destroyed in the explosion and fire.

"hiss……"

Seeing this scene, the crew members on the Normandy couldn't help but gasp. They were not rookies and naturally knew how powerful a cruiser was. In fact, the Normandy had no chance of winning against such a cruiser. But what they didn't expect was that such a cruiser was directly penetrated by the opponent? There was no chance to resist?

"...What a terrifying firepower... It was able to kill it with just one strike..."

At this moment, the clown looked at the data displayed on the screen and felt a pain in his teeth. He had no idea what to say.

"Okay, done."

Watching the cruiser being blown into pieces, the girl with twin ponytails and red eyes on the screen also smiled and gestured.

"Well, come here, aren't you here to find us? So, why are you fighting?"

"I don't know either……"

Shepard shook his head and then looked at the operator next to him, who also looked confused.

"I don't know what happened. The cloaking device is working normally..."

"Invisible?"

Hearing this, the girl on the screen blinked.

"Where are you invisible? Aren't you here perfectly fine?"

"That's not what I meant by invisible..."

Faced with the girl's complaints, the operator didn't know what to say for a moment. In fact, the Normandy was of course not truly invisible. The stealth system they were talking about was a system that could "temporarily" store the heat generated by the spacecraft when it was running. Due to current technology, for this world's spacecraft, they rely more on electronic scanning than visual, so in the case of relying solely on electronic scanning, the Normandy could disguise itself as a meteorite or something else to avoid the scanning of other spacecraft.

Of course, if you say this is invisible...it can be considered a kind of invisibility.

"Forget it, whatever you say."

The girl with white hair and red eyes obviously didn't care about this question. She just shrugged her shoulders and continued speaking.

"Then, Leander, please lead them here."

"OK."

Along with this sound, everyone saw that not far from the porthole in front of them, in the originally empty universe, a strangely shaped destroyer suddenly appeared, as if it had jumped out of thin air.

Everyone: …? ? ? ! ! !

At the same time, a soft and elegant voice sounded.

"Hello everyone, I am Leander from the Azure Fleet. Please follow my lead..."

"I see……"

Looking at the warship that suddenly appeared in front of her, Shepard also let out a long sigh. She finally understood why the girl with white hair and red eyes looked confused when she heard her say invisible... After all this time, in her eyes, she was not invisible at all! !

Shepard was somewhat emotional, because the Normandy was a combination of the best technologies from the Turians and the Alliance, and was second to none in terms of detection, scanning, and stealth. Logically speaking, even if they were attacked, the other side would not be able to lend a helping hand immediately.

Now it seems that this battleship has been following the Normandy since it entered the Wandering Galaxy.

And in invisible form...

Thinking of this, Shepard's expression became serious. She was now certain that this was definitely not Cerberus, nor was it the technology of the Turians or Alyssa. Even the most technologically advanced Salarians could not have this level of technological civilization!

Who is the other party?
