OBS Chapter 321 Naming
Chapter 321 Naming
Late night
Karenyaxing Buffer Zone
Years of reclamation and sewage discharge have completely killed all natural plants on the surface of the planet. When there are no clouds to cover the sky, the huge temperature difference between the scorching sun during the day and the coldness of the night creates a huge temperature difference, so sandstorms often blow in this barren desert.
Today, due to the awakening ceremony of the Crimson Sword, many spacecraft rose into synchronous orbit. The tail gases they released stirred up the turbid atmosphere, allowing sunlight to penetrate.
But it is precisely because of this that the wind and sand at night are particularly fierce.
Howard wrapped his windbreaker tightly around him and lowered his hat. The gravel carried by the strong wind hit his clothes like bullets. The situation did not disappear until May took his hand and used her psychic power to block the wind and sand.
But Howard still wrapped himself tightly.
Sand absorbs heat quickly and dissipates it quickly, so desert nights are generally colder.
Under Mei's protection and guidance, Howard trudged through the wind and sand for nearly two hours and finally arrived at his destination.
"Is this it?" Howard asked.
"Yes." Mei nodded: "This is where we were teleported from."
So Howard half-knelt and dug his fingers into the sand.
Twenty-seven percent probability is too low.
The words of Om Messiah inspired him that reality cannot be fully calculated and one should not be obsessed with rigid probabilities.
Even with the integration of humans and the Eldar, they were still unable to defeat the Orcs. However, he remembered that there was a third force on this planet besides humans, the Eldar and the Orcs.
Those aliens who were muttering in riddles didn't tell him how to find them when they sent him away. They only said that they would come to find him when the time was right.
And judging from the fact that they were able to kill the nun in seconds, these aliens at least have combat capabilities.
And even if they cannot provide assistance in combat, the energy source that everyone is fighting for was once guarded by them. Howard thinks it would be better to notify them if he can contact them.
After sorting out the cause and effect and purpose in his mind, Howard stood at the place where he had been teleported and cut his arm.
These aliens said that they would come to find themselves "at the right time", which at least shows that although these aliens are hiding in the sanctuary, they have the ability to perceive the outside world, or we can further assume that these aliens have the ability to perceive their own status.
Howard cut his arm not to threaten them to come out, but to send a signal to these aliens that "I want to see you."
Sure enough, blood dripped from Howard's wrist. The first drop of blood soaked into the sand, but when the second, third, and even more drops of blood fell, the sand beneath him began to stretch and twist strangely, forming a vortex.
Soon, Howard heard the hollow and distant voice:
"Messiah."
"Can you hear me clearly?" Howard asked. "Is there any price you have to pay to maintain communication with me?"
The voice replied, "Messiah, it costs me nothing to speak to you this way."
Howard: "Oh - that's good. Are you still the same... stone that spoke to me before?"
The voice replied, "Yes, Messiah."
Howard: "What's your name?"
The voice hesitated for a moment, then said, "Messiah, I have no name. My race does not distinguish itself in that way."
Howard: "Your way of speaking has improved a lot, but I have to use a word to address you. How about I give you a...temporary code name?"
"my pleasure."
Originally, Howard wanted to call it "Stone" directly, but its words "I'm honored" made Howard embarrassed. You can't let others take your name as an honor and then give it a perfunctory name.
Normally, Howard's cultural and knowledge reserves are not too lacking, but at this juncture, he really couldn't think of any poetic and meaningful name.
It's just like naming a character after you've made one in a game. Even if you're very talented, when naming your game character, especially an online game character, you'll always feel like none of the names are right and you won't be satisfied with them.
Howard glanced at May, but the Eldar didn't seem to notice Howard's embarrassment. Howard heard the alien's voice again:
"Messiah?"
The system warned you of idling for too long.
"Um...just call yourself "Peter." Howard thought for a long time and finally came up with this name. Peter also means "stone" in some languages. He really couldn't think of any meaningful name for the time being.
Although the name Peter is very common, there are many celebrities with this name in history. So after reading it several times, Howard felt that this name was neither too good nor too bad.
The last time he named something was for his cell phone, and he chose the name Ohm Messiah. As a result, the phone really looked a bit like the god of all machines.
Fortunately, his mental state was relatively stable this time. If he was still in the same beautiful mental state as when he named Om Messiah, he would have given this alien a name such as "Sanguinius", "Horus Lupercal" or "Eldrar Uslan", "Malcador" or something like that.
Come on, come on, if there really is such a thing as fate, let’s collide!
"Peter, you call me Peter, right?" the alien's voice came again: "From now on, I will be called Peter."
Howard: "I hope you like this name."
Peter: "I like it very much. I am the first nuclear man with a name, and it is the name you gave me."
Nuclear Man is probably what these aliens call themselves. The Empire has no definitive definition of their name. They are too rare and believed to be extinct, so in the archives they are only referred to by the casual name "Karenya Alien".
Howard: "I'm glad you like it. Let's get back to business. From now on, until the sky brightens for the third time, humans and the Eldar will join forces to launch an attack to reclaim the "secret" stolen by the orcs."
Peter's voice was a little excited: "That's great, Messiah."
"But I'm afraid I can't return this 'secret' I've taken back to you."
Unexpectedly, Peter was very open-minded about this: "Messiah, that is your secret. As long as you can get it back, everything will be worth it."
Howard's expression was a little strange, because he actually didn't intend to touch this thing, but there was no need to tell Peter about this decision. According to Peter, this was his secret, so after he obtained the ownership of this secret, he could also transfer it.
Since Peter had no objection, the ownership of the secret was resolved, so Howard began to ask the second question:
"Peter, can you and your race survive if you leave this planet?"
Peter: "Messiah, why do you ask this?"
Howard: "I promised to do my best to save you. This planet has been colonized by the Empire, so it's unrealistic to take it back. It would also be dangerous for you to continue living here... So I want to transfer you to a safer planet after this is over. I don't know if you and your people can agree to this plan."
After a while, Peter replied, but this answer made Howard very confused: "Your appearance is our salvation, as long as you don't abandon us..."
But Peter was unwilling to continue speaking.
Howard: "So tell me, can you survive if you leave this planet?"
Peter: "Of course, Messiah. This planet is not our home. We came here from a distant starry sky, so we can survive in a distant place."
Howard nodded, and the problem of the ownership of these aliens had been solved.
So he asked the third question, which was also the focus of this trip:
"Peter, I know this is an excessive request, but in the decisive battle in three days and nights, I hope your people can help us, help... humans."
