After the operation, they were simply bandaged by the nurse.
One of the people's mutated appendages was amputated.
Another crew member with an extra mouth had to cut out a hole in his face and then replace it with artificial bones and bionic skin.
These two people had much better luck than Cain. They were even able to come out and salute Adam after the surgery and bandaging.
Adam returned the greeting and continued observing the operation.
The two crew members were also curious about what happened to Saiin and stood by the window to watch.
"The throne."
"What happened to Captain Sain? Did he enter subspace?"
"What do you think? If it didn't enter the subspace, would it mutate like this?"
The operation gradually came to an end as the three people watched.
When doctors attached a prosthetic body to Sain's head, Sain looked like a metal man.
This is not over yet. The surface of Sain's metal body is printed with bionic leather, just like the bionic leather of the guards.
"It's over." The doctor picked up a document and handed it to Sain on the hospital bed. "Sign your name. As for the bill, the Navy Department and the insurance company have already prepaid the entire process from surgical treatment to postoperative recovery. You don’t have to pay for the medical expenses.”
Saiin sat up numbly and signed his name on the document.
The latest medical prosthesis can replace a person's original physiological structure from the inside out, and it is more usable than the original physiological structure. It does not even require recovery time to allow Sain to have normal movement abilities.
Sai's numbness at this moment was entirely mental.
Afterwards, the doctors guided Sain through an exercise test, checked many physiological data, and finally let him leave the operating room.
Until he stood outside the operating room, Sain was still numb and in a daze.
He kept looking at his hands and body.
"Your wife is waiting for you on Tyrone One." Adam pushed the wheelchair towards Sain and motioned for him to sit on it.
Sain doesn't need a wheelchair, but he uses it anyway because it makes him feel like a natural person.
Natural people will not be able to move immediately after the operation...
Adam personally pushed the wheelchair and sent Sein out of the operating room and the hospital. As he walked, he said, "Remember to install a small steel cannon before you go home, so that your wife will feel better when she finds out that your whole body has been prosthetic."
Saiin had no reaction to the joke and continued to sit in the wheelchair in a daze and numbness.
In the past and present, Sain is a naturalist. He hates excessive prosthetic modifications. He even organized a group to go to the Prosthetics Company building to protest against the company's marketing advertisements for replacing injured miners' prosthetics for free. When things got serious, the outside world suspected that Tai Lung Navy was hostile to the transformation of prosthetics.
However, it is impossible to find pure natural people who have not undergone transformation among people of high and low status in all the hives of the empire. Even Sain has been equipped with brain-computer interfaces and thinking assistive devices before.
In any case, everything except his brain has been changed, which is hard for Saiin to accept.
"What did you see in the warp?"
After leaving the hospital, the transport plane flew over and landed gradually. When landing, Adam asked Sain about his nightmare past.
"I entered the subspace two days ago and stayed in it for a while..." Sain began to talk about what he experienced in the subspace.
Several months had passed since the Battle of Cadia, so what Sein said about two days ago was not accurate, but considering that there was no time in the warp, it was only two days for him.
From Adam's point of view, this was good, at least Saiin did not endure the pain for several months subjectively.
"I saw Albert." Sain said suddenly.
"Albert? The leader who always longed to see the sky, but ended up dying at the hands of the Undernest gene stealers?"
"Yes. He was the regimental commander when I was still in the army. Not only him, but also many other dead people, whom I have seen or not seen..."
"Maybe it's a hallucination... You need to get some rest, man."
After hearing Adam say that it was an illusion, Sain suddenly became excited.
"It's not a hallucination!"
"I was almost eaten by something in the subspace, and then they showed up and saved me. At that time, I had not mutated, everything was normal, I definitely saw it!"
Adam was noncommittal, he only knew that subspace was a chaotic place, and anything could happen there.
Saiin stopped defending and gradually calmed down.
The transport plane roared down and the door slowly opened.
Adam pushed Sain into the cabin.
When he got up from the wheelchair and sat on his seat in the cabin, Sain suddenly asked: "Did you say that we Tyrone people will not go to the throne after we die?"
"Don't you believe in the state religion?" Adam poured a glass of wine and handed it to Sain, "You told me before that you heard the priest say that all human beings will return to the Golden Throne after death, and their souls will be protected by the emperor forever. "
"I believed it before, but now I don't think so," Sain said thoughtfully.
He saw the souls of Albert and many other dead people in the Warp. They were not in front of the Emperor's Golden Throne, but wandering in the Warp, threatened by the creatures of the Warp.
If it weren't for the spiritual power provided to them by the monthly memorial ceremonies held by the Tyrone people, perhaps they wouldn't be able to survive in the subspace.
"Perhaps the Emperor has abandoned us?" Sain suddenly said.
Adam thought it was possible, but he still comforted his old friend: "As we speak, wars are breaking out everywhere in the galaxy. Maybe too many people died. We mortals are not Astartes, so we may have to wait in line slowly. Waiting to go to the Golden Throne.”
After hearing this, Saiin was silent for a long time, just nodded and murmured: "I used to think that the memorial ceremony was unnecessary..."
Every time he attended the memorial ceremony in the past, Sain would only feel sad that he could no longer see Albert, because he felt that everyone else had already returned to the Golden Throne, and it was a good thing that they were freed from the hellish galaxy. , why should living people in the real universe feel sad for them?
But after returning from the subspace this time, Sain believes that not everyone can return to the throne.
Perhaps the spiritual power of living people is the reason why the souls of the dead can survive in subspace. Otherwise, they would have to be harassed or abused by subspace creatures and would never be able to escape.
"Maybe the Lord of Tyrone can protect their souls," Adam said.
"No, it won't." Saiin shook his head.
Based on the knowledge he had learned about the subspace before, Sain knew that human belief and spiritual power could affect many things.
But the Lord of Tyrone is probably the same as the Soulless One. Otherwise, in the past ten years, the beliefs of nearly 100 billion people in the entire star region have converged on him. In the subspace, there would not be only the orbital dock-like sphere to protect Able. Special their souls.
Sorry guys, the bus back to work is delayed.
Four chapters to start, two more to come in a moment
Chapter 352 They are not normal people
"maybe."
"To have a place like Tai Lung in this universe is already the best gift that the Lord of Tai Lung can give us. We cannot rely on him after death."
Adam thought there was some truth to Sein's denial, but he didn't care.
Saiin had no words, he was just thinking about the deceased.
Could it be that none of Tyron's dead so far have gone to the Golden Throne? Could it be that what the priests of the Ecclesiarchy told were all lies, and that only warriors like the Astartes can return to the throne?
In short, Sain thought a lot.
The journey to Tyrone One took place in a split second for Sain, who was sent to the surface before he could finish thinking about it.
"Tell me again about your experience in subspace in detail." Adam took out the recording instrument and laid it down flat.
Sain could only tell it again.
This time he spoke in great detail, even including every feeling he had when entering the subspace.
By the way, I also took many psychological tests.
Sain was thinking that if he had become abnormal, it would be better to be eliminated instead of bringing bad things to the Tyrone sector.
After recording everything about the subspace, Adam uploaded the record and waited quietly.
Sain is also waiting.
Until a communication request came from Yaoen's guards.
Adam was not surprised when he saw Yao En's image, because the Soulless Ones were specifically responsible for dealing with matters related to subspace.
"Captain Sain, your psychological report analysis has come out. I checked it and found nothing wrong."
"I have applied for a year's vacation time at Tyrone III for you. Please bring your family and have a good rest for a while."
Sain didn't care whether he could take a vacation or whether he would receive special arrangements. He only cared about whether he could continue to serve as captain.
Yaoen knew this. He stared at Saiin for a while, and then said: "For more detailed arrangements, please wait for the results of my discussion with the Lord of Tailong. Even if the result of the discussion is that you cannot continue to be the captain, you will be dismissed." He will be assigned to other navy-related positions to continue serving the sector."
After speaking, Yaoen said the truth in a roundabout way: "Or, you can also choose to apply for retirement on the grounds of mental trauma caused by special experiences."
"Thank you for your offer, but I will not apply for retirement. Either I will continue to serve as captain, or I will go to the naval school to teach." Sain said.
Yaoen nodded and transmitted another string of information to Saiin.
About the honor award.
Thain and his crew perished with the Vengeful Spirit. Although he himself did not die, his contribution will be recorded and he will be duly rewarded.
Yaoen himself thought there was nothing wrong with Saiin, but he didn't know what the Lord of Tyrone would think.
Assuming that Sain cannot serve as captain, then as he said, he can go to the naval school to teach, or as a war hero to give speeches on every planet in the sector...
"In any case, thank you and your crew for your contributions to the entire human race." Yaoen saluted Sain.
"For the Emperor, for the Lord of Tyrone." Saiin nodded.
Communication ends.
There was nothing for Sain to solve at this time, but he did not get off the transport plane.
Saiin wanted to ask Adam to help him. This old friend was a marshal after all. He might be able to help him continue to be the captain, even the captain of a transport ship.
But if you think about it carefully, some things in the fleet are handled by intelligent systems, and Adam has no authority to intervene, so let's forget it.
"Goodbye." Saiin stood up and left the cabin.
"Don't forget to install a small steel cannon." Adam smiled.
Saiin turned around and raised his middle finger: "After I install the small steel cannon, I will go to your house while you are at the Admiralty."
