When John pushed open the door to the bridge and stepped inside, his gaze first fell on the strategic table, which was a high-tech device made up of multiple screens and optical projections. He was slightly surprised to find that everyone on the bridge seemed to have arrived early. This made him somewhat astonished.
"I just said the meeting was over, didn't I? Why haven't you all left?" John asked with a hint of doubt and puzzlement in his tone.
Karenmu stood up, with a respectful expression, as if even in such an informal setting as the bridge, he maintained the strictness of the mechanical teachings. "Now that Deathwing is facing difficulties, as members of the team, it is our duty to discuss it."
Alixia responded coldly, her facial expression hardly changing, like a mirror reflecting the surrounding environment without emotion. "But apart from space pirates, I don't think there is a suitable proposal."
At this moment, Taktron spoke with an unmistakably cold and stern tone: "In fact, besides me earnestly investigating the data, both of you are indulging in unrealistic fantasies without boundaries. So, the only one truly working is me, Taktron."
John patted his own cheeks and let out a deep sigh. At this moment, he felt a complex emotion welling up in his heart. It was a kind of helplessness, but at the same time, it carried a subtle warmth - this was precisely the lovable aspect of this diverse and contradictory team.
"Okay, everyone take a seat," John said finally, his voice becoming unusually serious, as if an irreversible switch had been flipped. "I have a very important mission to discuss, so I hope everyone will listen carefully."
Then, John stood in front of the strategic table, took a deep breath, and touched a control panel on the table. The optical projector hummed and then emitted a beam of light, forming a three-dimensional star map. Yakannix Planet and some key areas around it were clearly displayed in the air.
"Listen up, everyone. The mission this time is to go to Yakannix Planet and investigate the Chaos Cult there. We need to understand what they are up to. Once we have gathered enough information, this mission should be considered complete."
Alixia's originally indifferent expression turned dark the moment she heard the word "chaos." Without hesitation, she said, "I accept this mission."
Taktron raised his hand, looking puzzled: "Wait, why did you say the mission 'should be over'? Isn't this supposed to be a relatively straightforward reconnaissance mission?"
John smiled slightly and said lightly: "Dealing with the forces of chaos is never simple. The real difficulty lies in what we will find. I can't be sure how the mission will develop, it all depends on how much information we have and the nature of that information."
Taktron nodded, "Alright, it seems that the mysterious sponsor is indeed keeping things under wraps."
John stood in the center of the room, tightly gripping the control stick on the tactical screen, then turned to his team and said, "First things first, we will head to the capital of Yakhanix, which we call 'Datharas'. There, the contact of the enigma will provide us with the necessary firepower and equipment, as well as a more specific mission objective."
Alixia nodded slightly, her eyes cold but with a hint of anticipation hidden within. For her, any action that helped eliminate chaos was worth getting excited about.
Taktron touched the multifunction device on his wrist and said, "Alright, I'll make sure all communication and navigation systems are functioning properly." His voice carried a hint of tension, but also an undeniable curiosity.
Karenmu lowered his head to look at the mysterious runes and mechanical armor, then said, "I will prepare some emergency Adeptus Mechanicus rituals, just in case." His voice was loud and firm, as if he was about to face not only unknown enemies, but also a test of his own faith.
John took a deep breath and then exhaled. "Alright, I will set the course shortly. We will arrive near Datharas in about a day. During this time, I hope everyone will be fully prepared. There will be no room for laziness ahead, the 'Deathwing' is about to open again."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and everyone could feel the air filled with the impending taste of battle and adventure. But within this tension, there was also an unspoken resonance and anticipation. This was the path they had chosen, full of unknowns and possibilities.
After the bridge meeting, there was a palpable sense of indescribable tension and excitement. Each person's face bore an expression of both anticipation and unease that was hard to shake. John watched as Alixia and the other team members left the bridge, then turned and walked towards the control room of the spaceship.
"Open the control room passage," John said calmly to the spaceship's artificial intelligence, known as 'Boudrias.'
"The passage is open. Welcome back, Captain John," Boudrias' tone was as cold and hard as ice.
"Set course for Yakannix Planet."
"Calculating, please wait..." After a brief pause, Boudrias responds, "The distance to Yakannix Planet is approximately 167,000 light-years. Based on the current engine output, it is estimated to take 23 hours to reach the destination. Do you confirm the route and departure at this time?"
John touched his chin, his pupils slightly contracting as he pondered for a moment. He knew full well that once the spaceship set sail, it meant they were officially embarking on this adventure full of unknowns and dangers. However, in order to prevent potential chaotic threats, they had no turning back.
"Determine the course, full speed ahead," John issued the command decisively.
"The route is confirmed, full speed ahead, expected to arrive in Yakannix Planet airspace in twenty-three hours." Boudrias confirmed coldly.
John took a deep breath, feeling the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. However, his gaze was firm and unwavering, without any hesitation.
The ship's body trembled slightly, and the spaceship's engine emitted a deep roar as it officially set off towards the Yakannix Planet, a planet filled with unknowns and dangers on the border. And this is only the first step of their journey.
