第十七章 黑色行动Ⅱ前章(5)

2023-07-09 16:00 作者:陌离丶惊鸿影  | 我要投稿

五角大楼的僵尸来源,即将进一步被揭开:

McNamara: Washington's words have lingered with me these last few days:"To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace".

麦克纳马拉:这几天,我的脑海中总是想到乔治华盛顿的名言:“准备好打仗是保护和平最好的方式之”。

 

McNamara: Mankind has always prepared for war because we face an enemy we know intimately.Our fellow man. In a way, we are the only enemy we have ever truly known.

麦克纳马拉:人类总是做好了战争的准备,那是因为我们的敌人是我们非常亲密的存在——就是我们自己。在某种程度上,我们自己就是我们所知的唯一敌人。

 

MCNamara: But now,I sit here with the Groom Lake report in my hand and I contemplate an enemy beyond our comprehension.An entity with the powers of a god that can manipulate time space and the very nature of other beings.

麦克纳马拉:但现在,我坐在这里,看着从马夫湖发来的报告,必须想象这个超出了我们认知范围的敌人。一个拥有着神般能力,能够控制时空以及其它事物的存在。

 

McNamara: The evidence is clear, a trail of carnage can be tracked. October 21st, 1945, the Rising Sun research facility. October 28th, 1945, Group 935's Der Riese facility. April 25th, 1956, the Himalayas.

麦克纳马拉:证据确凿,它留下的破坏是可以被追溯的。1945年10月21日,旭日研究基地;

1945年10月28日,935小组的“巨人”基地;1956年4月25日,在喜马拉雅山脉中。

 

McNamara: Now, l am no stranger to undead experimentation nor their outbreaks, I've read Pernell's reports on the airfield and asylum incidents. The undead may be a concern but they are not the threat.

麦克纳马拉:老实说,我个人对于僵尸研究,以及僵尸爆发的事件并不陌生,我已经读过佩内尔关空军机场和疗养院的爆发事件的报告了。僵尸的存在,是一个隐患,但不是威胁。

 

McNamara: Without a leader, they are mindless and uncoordinated, but the idea of a being that commands an undeadarmy with seemingly unlimited resources that gives the marching orders to strike at any time and any place.

麦克纳马拉:没有一个领导人,它们都是没有意志的散军。但是想到会有一个存在,似乎坐拥无尽的资源,可以命令僵尸军团在任何时间、任何地点发起进攻......

 

McNamara: Ugh.. How do you prepare for war with that?How do you protect America? How do you protect the planet?

麦克纳马拉:唉,你要怎么针对这样的敌人准备战争?如何保护美国,如何保护地球?

 

McNamara: One of the scientists we acquired from Group 935, Doctor Schuster,l believe is his name, claims to be familiar with the entity. He says her name is.. Samantha.

麦克纳马拉:我们从935小组获得的科学家之一,应该是叫舒斯特博士,声称他与这个存在相熟,她的名字是.…….萨曼莎。

 

McNamara: This Samantha may be the greatest threat our nation has ever faced.Certainly more than that from the Soviet Union or Cuba for they are just.. men.

麦克纳马拉:这个萨曼莎可能是我们的国家所面对过最严重的威胁,远超过苏联或是古巴,毕竟他们不过是....人类。

 

佩内尔的报告已经交到了麦克纳马拉手上,这次将证据连接起来以后:麦克纳马拉明显意识到了事件的严重性。他提到了旭日基地、巨人工厂和喜马拉雅山的爆发,分别就是我们熟悉的死亡沼泽、工厂和世外桃源的事件。其中,世外桃源的故事还是在Ultimis从未来回到1956年以后发生的,从正常人的角度来看,他们只能知道这些事件的绝对时间顺序,但不可能如Ultimis四人那样以他们经历的顺序去串联起这些事件。

 

佩内尔:个人日志,1963年9月3日

Pernell: Personal log, September 3rd, 1963.The discussion with McNamara was a resounding success. His plans for it are bigger than l ever thought possible.

佩内尔:个人日志,1963年9月3日。与麦克纳马拉的讨论圆满成功。他的计划比我想象可能的还要大得多。

 

Pernell: Fools.. It was so easy, all those hawks over there think about is war.l offered them a morsel, a nugget and had the meeting out of the palm of my hand!

佩内尔:呵呵....一群白痴,简直易如反掌,那些老鸟们就想着战争,我才和他们提出点蝇头小利,整个会议就顺水推舟谈定了!

 

Pernell: Yeah well good riddance! They'll get their war and 'll get my riches. You want to destroy this Samantha, so narrow-minded, why destroy her when we can take her power and harness it for ourselves?!

佩内尔:哈哈哈,一身轻松!他们随便开战,而我则赚得盆满钵满。你们想要摧毁这个萨曼莎..….

真的狭隘,当我们能够夺取她的力量据为己用的时候,为什么还要摧毁她呢?

 

Pernell: Ugh... with the amount of Element 115 buried down there, just imagine what we can do?! We can mold the Earth anew, created in our image.

佩内尔:啊,我们脚下埋着的115元素的量,想象一下我们能用它成就什么?!我们能够以我们的想象为蓝图,重新塑造地球。

 

Pernell: A toast, here's to Doctor Schuster for gifting me this opportunity. When we get the excavator up and running at the test site, I'll be sure to get him access!

佩内尔:这里,我不得不敬舒斯特博士一杯,感谢他给了我这样的机会。等我们在测试场的挖掘机开始运作以后,我肯定会让他访问权限。

 

Pernell: And here's to Broken Arrow and to opening new worlds.

佩内尔:然后,再敬破箭,开拓新的世界。

 

九月,在和麦克纳马拉的会议以后,佩内尔终于得偿所愿,他的破箭计划终于通过作为帮助国家抵御萨曼莎的手段获得了支持。这是破箭开始成为美国一个重要的组织的开始,它的成立在故事中相当于使用了倒叙的方式,在黑色行动二中描述了它在2025年的灾后地球的角色,在僵尸模式漫画中描述了它在零号基地,约1980年时的一些角色。这些内容也会在之后的剧情中再度变得有关,帮助我们完全连接破箭的完整故事。

另外,在僵尸漫画第一期的核弹镇载入漫画改版图中,可以看到当年的国5元素挖掘机在核弹镇上方进行挖掘作业,右下角的工作者名牌正是舒斯特。这也照应了佩内尔表示对舒斯特的感激,给予他测试场挖掘作业的访问权限的内容。

 

 

Schuster: You made progress Doctor Layman?

舒斯特:你有进展了,莱曼博士?

 

Layman: Yes? Um... Yes! Yes, As...As you know our success with the undead experimentation has been limited.

莱曼:啊?啊!呃....对!没错,如-如你所知地,我们的僵尸实验的成果有限。

 

Schuster: Yes, yes, we've achieved the same benchmarks as Maxis but as with his trials they refuse to obey orders.

舒斯特︰没错,没错,我们能做到和马西斯当年的成果一样,但也和当时一样,僵尸拒绝听从指令。

 

Layman: That's right! We can't control them, we can't make them docile, but l believe l've cracked it!

莱曼︰没错!我们无法控制它们,无法让它们顺从.....但我相信我已经破解这个难题了!

 

Schuster: I'm listening.

舒斯特:你说。

 

Layman: Okay, last month our man inside the Ascension Group sent us copies ofDoctor Richtofen's diary. I've been poring over it, following his research and...

莱曼:好,上个月我们在上升小组中的卧底给我们发来了瑞奇托芬博士的日记内容,我仔细研究了一番,跟随他的研究成果,然后.....

 

Schuster: That doesn't seem very docile to me.

舒斯特:它看起来并不像是很温顺。

 

Layman:Just watch. Stand back Doctor Schuster. l promise you it's quite safe.

莱曼:看着吧。后退一点,舒斯特博士。我可以保证,挺安全的。

 

 

Layman: Walk!莱曼:走!

 

Schuster: Incredible! It's completely subservient. How did you achieve this?

舒斯特:不可置信!它完全服从命令。你是怎么做到的?

 

Layman: Well, I vaporized Element 115, brought it to a gaseous state.The specimen inhaled it.

莱曼:我气化了115元素,将它转化成气体形态。然后样品吸入了这些气体。

 

Schuster: Inhaled it?舒斯特:吸入了?

 

Layman: Un-unfortunately, it had to be done while the specimen was still alive.

莱曼:唉,不幸的是,这一步骤必须在样品仍然活着的时候进行。

 

Schuster: While they were still alive?! Good heavens, man, did you..

舒斯特:在还活着的时候?!我的天,难道你...

 

Layman: The soldier was gonna die anyway. Hm... Doctor? Are you alright?

莱曼:那个士兵本来也救不回来了,呃,博士?你还好吗?

 

Schuster: Oh my apologies,Layman. I'm distracted by the eyes... They're yellow.

舒斯特:啊,不好意思,莱曼。我被它的眼睛分神了.....黄色的眼睛。

 

同时,在僵尸实验这边,莱曼博士向舒斯特汇报了新的成果。我们都知道根据编年史,瑞奇托芬的日记最终被苏联所获得,也是上升小组内尤里接触115元素研究并最终变得疯狂的直接原因。实际上,上升小组内的卧底也把日记的内容传达回了美国,而莱曼就通过研究日记的内容获得了新的发现。他成功通过气体115应用于活体实验品达成了僵尸的控制,这是当年935内没有的成果。僵尸黄色的眼睛,让在月球爆发现场的舒斯特有些分神。

 

Sawyer: 10 out of 10 trials. Docile and obeying commands.And it's activated with living subjects.

索耶:10次测试,10次全部顺从,跟随命令,并且是使用活体实验品激活的?

 

Layman: That's correct,Colonel. Completely subservient.

莱曼:没错,上校。完全顺从。

 

Sawyer: And you've achieved all this with a chemical gas?

索耶:而且你是用化学气体实现的?

 

Sawyer: Do you know what this means, Doctor Layman,what the potential of this gas could be?

索耶:你知道这意味着什么吗,莱曼博士?这种气体将能成就什么?

 

Layman: Um... Yes, yes, but more importantly we've gotten these creatures to obey our commands as Richtofen and Maxis would have wanted.

莱曼︰呃,是的,我清楚。但更重要的是,我们成功地让这些东西遵从我们的指令,就像瑞奇托芬和马西斯所希望的那样。

 

Sawyer: Oh, to hell with them! This gas, if you released it over Moscow you could end this Cold War tomorrow. Doctor Schuster, when can we bring this to full production?

索耶:噢,让他们见鬼去吧!这个气体,如果你将它在莫斯科释放,我们可以在明天结束这场冷战。舒斯特博士,我们什么时候可以开始全面生产?

 

Schuster: With some additional testing... six weeks.

舒斯特:再加上一些额外的测试的话...六个星期吧。

 

Sawyer: That's perfect.

索耶:那真是完美。

 

Layman: Hold on a damn minute. That's not what this is all about. A chemical weapon is nothing! We were talking about building an undead army here, how do you not all get that?! It's what 'm supposed to do! it's what I’ve been ordered to do!

莱曼︰你们给我等等。那不是这个成果的重点,化学武器算个毛!我们说的是我们能够建立一个僵尸军团,为什么你们都理解不了?这才是我应该做的!这才是我被要求做的!

 

Sawyer: What's gotten into you, Doctor Layman?

索耶:你有什么毛病,莱曼博士?

 

Layman: What's gotten into me?! We're not following her orders, she told me to do this! lt's what we have to do, not waste our time with this bullshit!

莱曼:我有什么毛病?!我们现在没按照她说的做,是她告诉我要这样做的! 那才是我们应该做的,而不是花时间在这坨狗屎上!

 

Sawyer: Excuse me, Doctor, do we have a problem?

索耶:不好意思,博士,有问题吗?

.

Schuster: No,Colonel, no problem. We'll get it done.

舒斯特:没,上校,没问题。我们会搞定。

 

Sawyer: Be sure you do.

索耶:你最好搞定。

 

Schuster: What the devil is gotten into you?!

舒斯特︰你脑子里进了什么水?!

 

Layman: I'm sorry. I'm not sure what happened. It's that damned diary,ever since l started reading it I'm now hearing things like voice in my head.

莱曼:我很抱歉。我不知道发生了什么。是那个该死的日记, 自从我开始读它,我就开始听到一些东西...…像是脑子里有个声音。

 

Schuster: Pull yourself together! This is a major breakthrough, be proud of your work.

舒斯特:打起精神来!这是个重要的进展,对自己有点信心!

 

Layman: Don't worry, I still hear you. They are fools. It will be done.

莱曼:别担心,我还能听见。他们都是白痴,我会搞定的。

 

看来我们也不能忘记这本日记的毒性。我们都知道苏联尤里已经在读到这本日记以后开始听到萨曼莎的声音了,看来在美国这边的莱曼也不能幸免。前来了解这一实验成果的索耶非常看好气化115元素的化学武器效用,这明显引起了莱曼的不满。看来,是萨曼莎指引莱曼这一诱导僵尸的方法,也就是说,萨曼莎之后在“五”中发动僵尸攻击的事件的确是有所准备的。

 

 

1963年10月13日,被关押的Ultimis这边有了新的动态。由于这个动态已经接整个近故事尾声,我们往后再谈。
