<Arcturus—when Valerian had actually seen the “great man,” which had been exactly twice until recently—had belittled him and told his mother that she was raising a bookish, effeminate weakling.>

感觉阿克图尔斯有点一边酸气一边希望自己儿子能打出一番成就。要知道当年大学毕业的阿克图尔斯是想做地质勘探员的，发现自己儿子竟然和自己年轻时的想法差不多，估计这家伙也会五味陈杂吧。就那种，我当时都办不到的事，你这种弱书呆子能做出什么不一样来？不知道他会不会想到，或许当年自己的父亲安格斯也是同样的心态呢？

<But the man before him, while still hard with muscle and keen of mind, was not the young rebel of Korhal.>

为什么呢？什么改变了呢？

- Ch.2

<He would not have his son and heir anywhere near the artifacts or temples until they had been proven well safe, and, he stated bluntly, probably not even then.>

See, 自从“虫群之心”的结尾，我就一直在思索阿克图尔斯对瓦伦里安的感情，我一直在尝试印证阿克图尔斯的心里是有这个儿子的。阿克图尔斯或许是那种会疯狂地说出“我会统治这片星区，或是看它化为一片焦土”的人，但他绝不是不爱自己家人的人。我刚想起来，是不是凯瑞甘当时奉命杀的他父母和妹妹？如果是这样，相当于蒙斯克家所反抗的联邦，联邦派来的杀手（凯瑞甘），和赐予联邦或是外星人那些超能力的整个宇宙，把阿克图尔斯的梦想毁得一团糟，他当然会想报复世界。同时，也因为他深知失去家人的感觉（他的妻子似乎也早早over了），他会不惜一切保护瓦伦里安。当他深知自己必死的时候，他所作的一切必然是将自己的儿子推向光明的那一边。

<Marcus Wright, Kendra had told Jake in whispers, had tortured, killed, and eaten seven people before he had been caught.>

Hard to believe that you people just allowed the rumor to spread and did nothing about it. And what? You great Heir Apparent also just allowed these kinds of sociopathic marines lying around to serve in the team? Even they were resocialized it just made things sound creepier. You Terrans.

Oh oh, 就是单纯地为了吓唬Jake让他过得不舒服也有点难说。这种流言在陆战队里流传，甚至都传到已方耳朵里了，怎么听怎么觉得你们的军纪简直一团糟。（虽说考虑到现实世界的话久而久之人们是会松散起来，但还是觉得……

- Ch.3

<Why, he wondered, did his mind have to keep coming up with images of slaughter?>

大概是因为你身边都是一群再社会化马润，人人手上曾经没几条人命都抬不起头来，你马上就要去一个没人发掘过的外星遗迹现场了，而那个外星遗迹的主人大概率生吞星灵活剥异虫，它制造的东西也是，并且你马上就要和星灵或者异虫打得火热了，字面意义上的。我猜的。

<Jake had tried to look for any reason to reject the men and women Valerian suggested, but he had to admit, their credentials were exceptional. He was even looking forward to their participation.>

Jake: 不不不我拒绝
也是Jake: （看过资料后）真香

I like this guy already.

<What if they were wrong?>

我懂了，作者，这是毒奶，对吧？

- Ch.3

<Nemaka had once had an atmosphere, thousands of years ago. An enormous meteor had destroyed it; the crater was visible from space, almost two hundred kilometers wide.>

这作者太会写了，画面场景描述得很到位，我超爱看这种！给我看得津津有味！我自己都迫不及待想下去dig一番！（Minecraft老本行的本性暴露出来了

- Ch.4

<The top was jagged and harsh, out of symmetry with the rest of it. This, then, was where the strange energy creature had broken free.>

等一下，突然想到內玛卡上这个空的萨尔那加神庙，会不会就是埃蒙曾栖身的那个？原剧情只是说埃蒙出现了，但他成为萨尔那加后有一段时间也是跟从他们的规则，至少表现出跟从他们的规则静养在神庙里的，他后来偷偷跑出去在星灵和虫群那得瑟也是之后的事。会不会这里就是他远古时期的小猪窝？

<He took in a breath of air—cold, dry, but breathable. Marcus smiled gently at him.
“You’ll get used to it,” he said. “Your nose will bleed a little for the first month or so, but you’ll adapt.”

A bloody nose was not a pleasant prospect, but it was better than what awaited anyone who stepped outside the protective atmosphere. Jake nodded, shivering a little, but filled with excitement.>

这作者真的好会写！好会写！这细致的描写！这精致的人物和环境细节！我真的太喜欢这种写法了！！作者大大我将永远追随你！！！（然而差不多已经忘了作者名字了（（甚至还不如记《天国恶魔》那本的作者记得牢（因为当时创建读书吐槽条目写了好几遍那个作者的名字（（（

<But at the same time, Jake was always pleased when it came down to him and his little “family” of archeologists. There was a camaraderie and intimacy among them that he had experienced with no one else in his life.>

其实我都不用想，早就知道，尽管前期描写这个神庙不会有危险，但熟悉套路的人都清楚之后肯定会有问题。我现在就喜欢拉姆齐这一团队不会有事。虽然到这里只提到了团队中另外两个人的名字，Daruis和Kendra，但其他人也不能忘啊。希望大家最后都好好的！（呜呜呜考虑到星际争霸这一系列的背景我真的很难不已经给他们标上KIA啊呜呜呜（但是不要啊啊啊呜呜呜

<“Good day to you, Professor Ramsey. And greetings to your hardworking team. And hello again to you, R. M.” The smile widened, becoming one of genuine friendship rather than politeness. R. M. grinned back. Well, thought Jake, clearly R. M.’s relationship with Valerian has been a solid one.>

???Holy sht-???

- Ch.4

<Darius said something unfit for... well, any civilized company and turned away, closing his eyes. He looked sick. Jake knew how he felt.>

懂了，我是真懂这哥们对考古学的热情了。之前只觉得这大老粗是热血了点，但看到这，我是真觉得这哥们很爱这一行了。

- Ch.4

<“...There are other chips with the documentation of past digs, which you should peruse as soon as possible. ...”>

等一下，我突然想到，如果之前的几支……三支队伍都探索过这里，那空气净化系统和大气生成器应该不需要重新搭建啊？这一章的开头甚至还花了些笔墨描写大气生成器工作，地表环境可以供人呼吸了。另外，他们的安保队应该都是同一支，只不过是这些马润和领头的R.M.没有过分表现出来。这之间仔细一想大有问题啊？

- Ch.4

<Jake frowned. The previous excavator had strung a piece of rope across the section ahead of them, but the rope had come untied and trailed in front of him. Frowning, he reached for it, stepping forward without realizing what he was doing.
“Jake, don’t—” R. M.’s warning came a heartbeat too late.
The floor beneath Jake gave way. Before he even had a chance to utter a sound, he was gone.>

好家伙，Jake这是真被神庙震撼得有点兴奋了啊，还说是这丫本身的不着调被勾出来了？嗯……看他这性格也是吧，没想到关键时刻这丫也是个不小的闯祸精啊。（坏了，你们的领队就是个闯祸精（论队员的压力（前面提到Jake的乐观度和烦人度成正比，甚至烦人度还更高些，这真是又一次深刻体验到了

- Ch.4

<Bravado with an injury was usually a stupid thing, but he was curious. Though it would probably peter out to nothing like the corridor behind him, at least he’d know. And he hated the thought of just sitting and waiting for R. M. and her team to carry him out.>

虽然知道受着伤到处乱跑不对，但要我是Jake，在同样的环境下估计也很难压住到处看看的迫切之心。哎……闯祸精啊闯祸精。

- Ch.5

<And the surface felt different under his feet—more solid, somehow, and at the same time more yielding. >

???What do you mean by "yielding"??

- Ch.5

<Valerian sighed. “Jake... at this moment, I would gladly trade my lot in life for yours.” Jake believed him. “Contact me as soon as you know anything more. Anything at all. At any hour.” His eyes were bright with excitement. “Tell me. Tell me everything.”>

说实话游戏剧情果然还是少，真正有料的东西果然还是在小说和其他周边作品里啊。这小说描写得，瓦伦里安考古学狂热的一面在游戏剧情里简直没怎么提到，就算提过瓦伦里安是莫比斯基金会背后的投资人，也不足以显示他对考古学有所爱好。不是，我现在真觉得星际2后来的一些剧情简直可惜了这些作者的笔墨了。不够精彩，不够严谨，不够合理，不够，完全不够！这么宏大的宇宙背景，怎么被你们搞得像是小孩子过家家啊！
