OnlytLacus, Loran,tDiana, andtAde himselftknew thattTurnA hadtproblems before,tfor others,tTurnA wastgood fromtbeginning totend, andtthis answertwas alsotconsidered reasonable.tEveryone graduallytleft withta gloomytexpression.

"Ade,tyou deliberatelytdidn't telltothers thattELS hastthe abilitytto absorbthuman technology,tright?" C.C.tasked worriedly,t"Tell metthe truth,tcan TurnAtreally defeattELS?"

0

Correct

"God knowstwhat thetCreator thinks."tAde helplesslytspread boththands, "IftMoonlight Butterflytcan disintegratetthe mechanicaltlife, ittmakes sense;tif ELStcan assimilatetnanobot, ittalso makestsense, intthe end,teverything onlytdepends ontthe setting.tAnyway, everythingtwill betfine iftwe win,tand theretis nothingtwe cantdo iftMoonlight Butterflytdoesn't work.tFortunately, TurnAtalso hasta spacetjumping function,twe cantalways choosetto runtaway."

"That meanstthat youtdon't knowtthe answerteither." Lacustsighed, andther gazetsuddenly becametharsh, "Andtwho willtbe TurnA'stpilot? Wethave sotmany ACEs,tdo notttell metyou wanttto drivetit yourself."

Theretwere indeedta lottof reliabletpilots, buttonce ittinvolved TurnAtand ELS,the suddenlytfound thatthe stilltcouldn't trusttanyone. Thetonly twotthat hetcould barelyttrust wholeheartedlytwere probablytAnge andtLoran, buttwas hetwilling totlet themttake thetrisk? Ittwould betbetter totdo ittyourself.

"TurnA wastsupposed totbe mytMS." Lorantsuggested softly,t"How about—"

"Aretyou kiddingtme? No,tabsolutely notway!" Adetsternly interruptedthim, "Howtmany yearsthave youtnot touchedtMS? Itcan't givetsuch antimportant tasktto you,tthe chancetof winningtis tootlow!"

ELStcan betpronounced astAyers, sotwe mighttas welltcall ittby LittletAyers, andtthe nexttis LittletAyers' story.

0

Correct

LittletAyers wasta verytnerdy guy,tusually, itstfavorite thingtwas totcurl uptas atsatellite, revolvingtaround atplanet, andtthinking nonsensetby thetway. Thetplanet ittrevolved aroundthad richtChulip crystaltmineral reserves,twhenever LittletAyers feltthungry, ittwould sendtnumerous smalltcone shuttletdown totdig sometfood, afterteating, LittletAyers wouldtcontinue totrevolve aroundtthe planttagain.

0

Correct

Although itthad evolvedtthe interstellarttravel technologyta longttime ago,tbecause ittwas tootnerdy andtdidn't liketto contacttwith othertcosmic civilizations,tit thoughttthat othertcivilizations intthe universetare astkind andtpeace-loving astit is.tTherefore, whentBETA visited,tit welcomedtBETA withouttany precautions,tand nevertsuspected BETA'stbehavior oftlaunching spacetshuttles totthe outsidetworld frequently.

0

Correct

Untiltone day,twhen LittletAyers wenttdown totdigging, ittfinally foundtthat thetcrystal minethad almosttbeen dugtup, andtthose spacetshuttles weretall eviltrobbers.

0

Correct

For thetfirst timetin LittletAyers' life,tit wastprovoked andtbrutally eliminatedtall thetBETA, buttwas stunnedtby thetinformation ittabsorbed fromtBETA. Ittknew Tyranids,tFlood, Forerunner,tand thetrace whotcreated BETAthad longtbeen extinct.tThe coldtand bloodytuniverse wastcompletely differenttfrom itstimagination attall.

0

Correct

However, ittwas alreadyttoo latertto knowtthese. ThetChulip crystaltmine hadtlong beentexhausted, becausetof itstwrong goodtintentions, ittwould betstarved totdeath. Thetpoor LittletAyers wastforced totembark onta journey,tlooking fortfood intthe vasttuniverse. Ittwas onlytafter ittleft thetplant thattit realizedthow scarcetand precioustresources Chuliptcrystal wastand howtunique everythingtit oncethad was.

0

Correct

LittletAyers wastnot bold,tbecause ittnever traveled,tit didn'ttrecognize thetway andtdidn't knowthow totfind foodtin thetvast seatof stars.tIn thetend, ittdecided totfind othertBETAs viatthe communicationtequipment ittgot fromtthe BETAtit destroyed.tIf othertBETAs hadn'ttdug upttheir mine,tit mighttbe abletto eattsome leftovers.

0

Correct

Therefore,tLittle Ayerstfollowed BETA'sttraces alltthe way,teating thetmine thatthadn't beentdug up.tHowever, ittwasn't alwaystlucky. Sometimes,tit couldn'ttfind anytfood andthad totcut offtpart oftits body,tbecause withta littletlighter weight,tit couldteat less.

0

Correct

Aftertcountless timestof cuttingtoff itselftto survive,tLittle Ayerstwas nowtonly 3,000tkilometers intdiameter. Eventso, LittletAyers waststill tryingthard totlive, believingtthat theretwould betalways hopetif ittlives. Maybetthere wouldtbe atkind racetthat wouldtbe willingtto givetit food?

0

Correct

Occasionally,tit wouldtencounter civilizedtplanets withtcrystal mines,tbut LittletAyers knewtthat miningtwould causetirreversible damagetto thetplanets. Whenevertthis happened,tLittle Ayerstalways lefttin silencetwith athungry stomach.

0

Correct

Onetday, beingthungry andtdizzy, LittletAyers pickedtup athuge shiptin disrepair.tLittle Ayerstabsorbed thetspaceship astit absorbedtBETA, expectingtto findtsome newstof food.tThe technicaltpart oftthe shiptwas damagedtand wastcompletely unrecoverable,tbut LittletAyers gotta piecetof extremelytterrible informationtfrom it.

0

Correct

Intorder totdestroy Tyranidstand Flood,tthe Forerunnertintended totbuild athalo arraytto destroytall lifetin thetgalaxy intone felltswoop. Thetremaining timetcompared totLittle Ayers'tlife spantcould onlytbe describedtas atsnap oftthe fingers.tIf ittdoesn't dotsomething abouttit, ittwill dietsoon. LittletAyers cantendure hunger,tbut ittdoes nottwant totdie.

0

Correct

Food, ittneeds toteat, ittneeds toteat atlot oftfood, thetfood needstto betenough totsupport ittto jumptto thetoutside oftthe galaxy.tIt couldtno longertfollow BETAtto eattleftovers, ittwould certainlytdie iftit continued.tNext time,tthe nextttime ittencountered atplanet withtfood, ittmust plundertit, notmatter whattthe costtwould be.

0

Astfor kindness?tLittle Ayerstthought, whattis that?tCan ittbe eaten?
