EP.379 Aftercare (6)

“We are the only ones who returned safely. We found Charlie’s body, but his memory was completely destroyed. Recovery is impossible.”

[All right.]

Alpha’s answer was quick and concise.

Well, it would have been surprising if an emotional tone had emerged.

“Are there any other questions you have?”

[doesn’t exist.]

The specialness that had been shown for a moment disappeared, and I returned to being a stalker who silently accompanied me during the Tanis expedition.

“I extracted all the records of the Tanis expedition from Alpha.”

Meanwhile, Artemis looked very upset. She even held her forehead as if her head was throbbing.

She’s a supercomputer, so there’s no way she’d get sick from overworking her brain, and her emotions would have affected her body.

“It was quite a spectacular journey, wasn’t it?”

“A spectacle?!”

Artemis looked at me with amazement as I laughed heartily.

Her alluring lips quivered with anger, then she ran over and kicked my butt.

“Even if you’re crazy, that was truly crazy, you idiot!”

A kick from a scientist woman doesn’t hurt me. It just feels like an expression of affection, and the shock feels good.

“I thought it would be dangerous enough even with the information I had indirectly confirmed, but this is…”

The screen was divided into 12 screens.

And they began to broadcast the major events of the arduous journey.

A super-strong storm that welcomed us from the beginning, a surprise attack by mutants, a field of grass where Alpha was injured, an unidentified large predator lurking under the desert, a fight with a giant crustacean, a ruined research lab, and a fight with the last giant colony.

Each and every one of them was an extremely dangerous event.

This would be even more so since Artemis tends to overestimate the risk compared to reality.

“It’s definitely not a journey I want to go through twice.”

“Isn’t this a journey I want to send twice?”

“Then it is an agreement between us.”

“…”

She seems to have nothing to say since he nods coolly.

In the past, for one reason or another, I had to be stubborn and take the lead myself, but now I don’t have to do that.

External operations such as the Chinese People’s Liberation Army battle and the Exile suppression were also all commanded via remote robots.

“Are you going to distribute these videos too?”

“Of course! I must punish those who dare to call your achievements false.”

“Anyway, those who don’t believe it will say that the video itself was manipulated.”

No one could deny the effectiveness of the vaccine, which neutralizes infectious agents, because everyone had seen its effectiveness.

However, some people are skeptical about the acquisition process.

To be honest, if I said, ‘I went to an alien planet and fought a huge battle to retrieve it,’ there would be no one who wouldn’t be suspicious.

They claimed that the vaccine itself was developed by Shelter and that the Tanis expedition was a lie to strengthen their authority.

Even the existence of a spaceship that landed on the Korean Peninsula did not dispel those doubts.

It’s not surprising that even the moon landing was denied.

“It doesn’t matter. Believe it or not, it’s a grand record of the journey from beginning to end. It’s both evidence and entertainment that will entertain the public.”

I heard something unexpected.

Isn’t public pleasure something that is of no interest to Artemis?

“People who live their daily lives enjoy creating heroes. This video record makes me sick, but how would it look from the perspective of an unrelated third party?”

“Wouldn’t it be like a Hollywood movie?”

“Yeah. If you edit out the marching and sleeping times during the entire journey and only collect the main scenes, it would still be several hours long.”

As it is a planet that was terraformed to be used as a prison, there is a lot to see.

A desert where a super storm that can tear apart cars rages, or a bizarre forest filled with giant spiders.

The non-combat scenes are like a wonderful documentary, the combat scenes are like a blockbuster action movie.

“There are more people who support Jinsoo’s achievements than those who doubt them. The older the age group, the more this tendency becomes. In this situation, if video evidence is released, only those who continue to doubt them will become more despicable.”

“Is this something along the lines of, ‘Those guys are going to have a blast no matter what you give them?’?”

“Yeah. Now you’re being downgraded from a conspiracy theorist to a whining conspiracy theorist.”

I had forgotten for a moment, but over the past three years, Artemis has transformed from a simple scientist to a politician.

It’s not that they don’t care about the pleasure of the masses, it’s that they don’t know how to deal with them.

No matter where I looked at the 12 screens, memories of that time came back vividly.

One of them particularly catches the eye.

After emerging from the cave where we had taken refuge from the storm, we entered a field of tall bushes.

The bushes fall down as if to suggest that something is approaching and surrounding us.

Master Solaver uses an alien weapon called the Thunder Cannon to instantly blow away bushes and the mutants hiding within them.

“The kid would love that.”

The saying that life is a tragedy when seen up close, but a comedy when seen from afar really fits.

Of course, I don’t believe this story will end in tragedy.

Me, Alpha, Charlie.

The return rate is only 50%, so the story is not over yet.

The Tanis expedition footage was edited into two 2-hour and 20-minute videos and distributed throughout the police.

One was a mission-focused record that focused on exploration and combat, while the other was an observational video focusing on the exoplanet itself, Tanis.

The reaction was beyond my expectations.

“Was this that scene?”

A person who alternates between the introductory video and the back of the 10,000 credits in hand and the pictures of 6 people entering the warp gate.

“Kill them! Kill them all!”

“What on earth are you shooting that makes your limbs explode every time it hits you?”

People who harbored a deep resentment towards the infected were thrilled to see them explode.

The expedition force was heavily armed with expensive explosives and autonomous weapons, so it was fun to slaughter them all.

“Is that a weapon used by aliens? It’s really unique.”

“From the description, it seems to be a riot suppression weapon.”

“…If you get hit by something like that, won’t you become a cripple?”

“Aliens must be tough. Just looking at those infected, they’re at least 2 meters tall, right?”

Some people are amazed by the technological prowess of extraterrestrial civilizations and the existence of various races.

“That storm will be much more powerful than the one on Mars. I’d like to see the original, unedited footage.”

“Where exactly is Tanis? Is it visible from Earth?”

Astronomers whose spirit of exploration has been revived after five years of hiatus.

“God is watching me.”

Soldiers pay their respects as fellow soldiers after seeing the graffiti left by a guard who died fighting the infected until the end.

“Oh, no! Don’t die!”

“Tangoooooo!”

People who empathize with Alpha, who is badly injured in the final battle, and Tango, who is devoured by a giant colony.

Whether enjoying it for entertainment or fueling their curiosity by connecting it to their own knowledge, people will learn about how vaccines got to Earth.

[Everything is good, but it’s a shame that the manager’s face never appears.]

As always, Kids, who had achieved perfect editing, was disappointed.

I wore a sealed full body suit and combat visor throughout the journey, so my face was never exposed.

“It can’t be helped, right? It can’t be like a historical drama or movie where they take off the helmet to make the main character’s face stand out.”

And honestly, I was glad my face wasn’t shown.

“It’s useless to try to become famous, but going out alone will only cause you a headache.”

Even now, I’m out secretly hanging out at a bar in the police, and the Tanis video is currently being broadcast on TV there.

My status is absolute, but my recognition itself is surprisingly low.

Thanks to this, you can enjoy yourself quietly just by wearing a hood and sunglasses.

“Oh!”

The tavern patrons went wild during the fight scene with the giant crustacean spider named Arachnid.

“Is that an infected thing too? It really is hideous.”

“No, that’s an indigenous organism. I heard it was a great help in making vaccines.”

“When you say it like that, you suddenly seem cute.”

There were even cheers at the scene where the infected were seemingly being eaten by Arachnid cubs.

The Tanis expedition records were not only distributed as a video, but also various annotations and explanations were made available to the public.

I sipped my beer and watched people’s reactions.

“It’s bad.”

As it is moonshine made in poor conditions, it tastes like sewage water.

“Even though you say that every time, it seems like you like it. You ordered it last time, and you came here again today, right?”

Seyoung, who had followed along as a secret escort as usual, spoke from the other side.

She was picking at dried fish.

“As you said, I kept drinking it and realized that the sewage water had its own unique taste.”

“You have surprisingly cheap tastes for your location. I heard you also really like street food.”

“Do we need any further explanation between fellow orphans?”

Seyoung smiled brightly at my words.

When we were both young, we had to suck our fingers and look at even the junk food sold on the street for a few hundred won.

Could this be a backlash from the obsession I had back then?

Even in my current position, where I can eat and drink the best in the world, my taste is close to cheap.

“Artemis doesn’t dislike it?”

“Of course I don’t like it. When I go outside, I bring back a stomach full of all kinds of garbage full of germs.”

Artemis, who only wants to feed good things, is a herdsman.

The release of the Tanis expedition video caused quite a stir on the Korean Peninsula for a while.

And it also had an unexpected effect.

-Echo! We have to find Echo!

-Solaber is alive, right? He should be! No, he has to be!

People who watched the video sympathized with the expedition team’s actions as if they were their own.

There have been explorers in the past who were looking for expedition members in exchange for the rewards we offered.

To be exact, it was more like familiarizing myself with the expedition team’s personal information while doing my usual exploration work.

But it was thanks to those efforts that Charlie and Alpha were able to return to my arms.

However, the movement spread nationwide thanks to the footage of this expedition.

“Don’t people like happy endings?”

Artemis said with a smile.

As if this part was also being targeted.
