"Commander! Thank you for sheltering me! I'm Sten MK2! I'll work hard!"
Looking at the miserable doll in front of her, Gentiane sighed, "Well, hello, anyway, go for repairs first. Remember to come see me after the repairs are done."
"Okay!"
Although there were many damages on his body and he looked dusty, it obviously didn't affect Sten MK2's enthusiasm. After hearing Gentiane's words, she immediately ran out of the door.
However, after running out, she stopped, turned back, and timidly asked Gentiane, "Commander, where is the repair room in the base?"
"Um, let Nagant Revolver take you there."
Gentiane said this and watched as Nagant Revolver led Sten MK2 out of the command room.
"Thompson, did you find anything new this time when you went out?"
"No, apart from encountering Sten MK2, there were no other signs. However, the area where Sten MK2 appeared should have had SF units pass through. Otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately hidden under the rubble."
Hearing Thompson's words, Gentiane lowered her head and pondered for a moment. She didn't expect Sangvis to have come so deep. It seemed that those in Sangvis who broke through the defense lines of the two adjacent areas weren't simple characters.
Moreover, based on SF's command structure, it could be inferred that there was at least one Ringleader unit currently within the scope of Sector S09. Otherwise, those low-autonomy SF units wouldn't be able to evade the search of dolls.
"It seems that those infiltrating SF units are getting closer to us. When we go out for patrols later, try to bring... anyway, bring as many dummies as possible. The time ahead probably won't be so peaceful."
Gentiane was about to suggest that her doll team bring more dummies. She suddenly remembered her doll team, besides Thompson, who could command four fully manned dummy dolls, the other dolls could only bring one or two dummies.
It was still a matter of lack of experience. If only she had Renault's simulation training device... she could let PPK and the others train with it, and also let others train in coordination with Thompson.
Among her team, both Thompson and M9 had relatively rich experience. Thompson, as a standard Griffin elite doll, didn't need much explanation. M9 had also participated in some actions before.
They had naturally used dummy dolls in operations. Thompson could smoothly command four dummy dolls to cooperate in combat, while M9 could control three.
But the other dolls couldn't do that. Even the Poposha trio, who had used the training device with Renault, could only control one dummy doll. Controlling dummy dolls in combat was evidently different from personally fighting.
"Understood."
Thompson waved the bottle in her hand, took advantage of Gentiane's lack of response, and quickly left the command room.
Hmm, where did this guy get the alcohol? Could Thompson be a closet drinker like Poposha?
Fortunately, even after drinking quite a bit, Thompson's mind was still clear. This amount of alcohol wouldn't affect her ability to make correct judgments. She arranged the shift plan for doll patrols and the schedule for external searches very properly.
...
"Commander, have you been working all night?" M1 Garand looked at the completed spaceship structure in the underground space and couldn't help but look at Renault helplessly.
Although she knew that her commander Renault was always busy and had a strong physique unlike human beings, this... he had been working all night to tinker with this massive thing hundreds of meters tall, and even the efficiency of setting up the subsequent construction framework...
Wasn't it a bit too fast?
"No, I took a nap for three hours in the morning. This efficiency isn't considered fast, after all, the power of this SCV is a bit small, and I wasted some time in the middle charging it."
Excluding the time to charge the SCV, Renault had worked for a full four hours. With all the materials already in place, all Renault had to do was weld these things together.
Not fast?
In four hours, with just one person and one SCV, he had completed what might take a week to half a month in ordinary shipbuilding. If this wasn't considered fast, then probably no one in the world could claim to work fast.
Actually, Renault didn't feel like he was working particularly fast. If he were to operate the original SCV, he might finish this job in less than an hour.
Moreover, welding the main structure and some of the lower armor plates was the easiest part of the shipbuilding process. The real work lay in installing various equipment and further repairing the inside of the ship.
As for testing the strength of the hull? Various standard checks? Whether the quality of the parts was up to standard?
Anyway, Renault hadn't found any problems after checking with his own eyes. As for whether there would be any problems after a detailed inspection by equipment?
That could wait until later. Anyway, the ship's structure made of high-strength alloy steel was very sturdy. Under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be any problems. Even if there were, they would be minor issues. As long as it didn't cause the spaceship to fall apart upon takeoff, Renault considered it a minor issue.
"Commander, are there no missions lately? You've been staying at home all the time, it's so boring." M1919A4, who was lying on the table next to Renault, drew circles on the table with boredom.
She wasn't brought along on the mission to the weapon expo before, and she wasn't brought along when they went to Gentiane's place recently. She thought she could go out with the train later, but unexpectedly, Renault delegated the task of transporting supplies to those rippers.
She might be the only doll in the house who hadn't been on an external mission yet, right?
"No, there aren't many tasks to do. We're not some big security contractor, and we don't have a big reputation. Plus, usually no one comes to us."
Well, except for Angelica, apart from her, no one came here except for some mercenaries and military personnel who came to cause trouble.
"Ah, it's so boring..." Hearing Renault's words, M1919A4 slumped on the table, looking unwilling to move.
"If you have nothing to do, you can try those powered exoskeletons. Mine has been empty all along, you can try it, or go to the training room to try those training levels, those places seem quite suitable for you."
"Okay." Hearing this, M1919A4 reluctantly got up and walked out. Obviously, powered exoskeletons and training levels couldn't lift her spirits.
