going over the ship it is fair to say it is run down I bought it cheap for a few reasons it's just me for right now it's crew only needs one to run.
that's me alone this ship is also a bit special it has a beta field, meaning the asteroid I am inside will be included in the field of beta waves.
so the shield expansion is rather ingenious it's beta field encompasses everything in allowing me to walk on it, but it was allowing me to also create a surrogate atmosphere I can vent oxygen into the sphere and open my ship to allow it to continue to cycle all oxygen.
it will work for me as I will be In a actualization pod.
the ship is pretty basic with two restrooms, three rooms, one large cargo bay, one pilots deck with three seats, and the favorite of mine an actualization room.
which is connected with each possible way to connect to the Umbrage system, nor is there any lag i bought the best broadcasting system and nueral net.
although oddly enough I bought three of each connection system also...
three pods, which are like coffin tubes that are filled with a non countable amount of attoanites.
they are nanites but at a much smaller scale they are the size of atoms maybe a bit smaller, I mean I don't know the exact science.
there is three rem beds, they are like the pods but they only allow a nine hour cycle and they only work while you are asleep.
then there is three actualization chairs they allow you to incorporate clone technology they are like mental transportation, you are essentially cloned and then sent into the nueral net then uploaded into the other body.
they only last for two days then the clones die,.. that's sad though.
and last but not least I got three augmented actualization, they are glasses that augment realized space you can access all stores without actually entertaining ones idea of never entering the game they can simply use this and get both real items and virtual.
the rooms all have a food synthesizer, they can't work without the food pantry in the cargo though there are cartridges for it in the cargo hull.
let's see what am I forgetting... I have gone over all ship systems, all nueral systems, all shield and atmosphere systems, and oh!!!
I remember now the the umbrage system!
well as you have been slightly able to guess it is a virtual universe, the makers made a nueral net that spands the entire universe that decreased death.
when the species of the planet is able to begin colonization they are open to invasion that increased war both in and out of the umbrage system as it was an exact copy of the universe, to stop that the sentinels made the administrators that allowed access to all, which made a millions of races call it unfair.
that brought about the regalia's claim which made it fair too all everyone got something and everyone would have a fair chance, that also brought up fair rewards and fair punishment.
the system is simple stats are non-existent, all species
rate from each races alphabetical anomaly.
SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R.
ALL OF HUMANITY RANKS BETWEEN R - N, that's low people!
the three ambassador races we chose were, a ship advanced race called the progino, the next ones were a race similar to us called the homonyic they were biologically advanced and offered human a lot in the medical and genetic advancement, the last race was a very odd race they had no real advancement and no traits to speak of they classified all the information on them and they have said nothing.
I don't care honestly I am not willing to become a member of the government, so I'm good to go with all the explanations.
I have chose not to use the virtual world too much not out of fear or beliefs but, because I wanted to get off of Earth there was a fight over the control of Earth, we humanity survived a month, Earth albeit skewers in debt survived, I realized two months before our civilian status was up Earth was screwed.
the major forces at play are much more than just allowing debt, the umbrage system changed every human brain to accommodate the system even when not inside the system it awoke forces on Earth we wouldn't have ever known about.
creatures mutated, evolved, and grew.
all of Earth gained the use of the umbrage system allowing for animals and even plants too become stronger.
but enough about that I'm getting off track, I saved the best for last I bought the pods all three at A rank of course that was for me, in case I bought an implant I would want it to carry over into my body and the attoanites would build it.
it would take weeks and I'm not too keen on changing from human to who knows what, but who wouldn't want to get a cool eye implant or a awesome brain augmentation.
although that isn't my goal, my goal is a ship! not just any ship but a fleet ship and a whole fleet of them.
along with a fleet Carrier and
from there I want a whole fleet carrier, hell maybe even my own space station!
you see I forgot one more thing that is before I eat and shower, what I forgot was when the system upload began every human got to see there rank stat. and skill list which one would think it was a big screen but it was simple.
it went as follows,
(race) {human} [species rank{Q}]
(name) {tequilla james Dee Rico} [moniker{silver}]
(racial ability) {adaption} [rank P]
[most races adapt, although humanity adapts more so]
that was a simple screen we also have a hp bar, a mp bar, a kp bar, and a sp bar.
respectfully though they are more like mental sensory I can't see them really I just know there is these four forces, but I can tell exactly what is in them in order it is health, Mana, kinetics, and stamina.
know I did test each one mentally I marked them colors red, blue, green, and yellow.
against all that though they don't appear In a screen they are just mental markers letting me know about them.
now the skills list it was simple also and came with a warning again just to clarify the screens showed up in my view months ago and I never closed them out...
for two reason one I'm lazy and two I have read them thousands of times for any misunderstanding.
there have been none.
which I will read the warning first, it reads like so.
(warning) { the species of human has no penalty of
class nor, weapon nor, genetic alternation nor, evolutionary path nor, rank denomination.
humanities goal rewards, [one rank for potential]
(humanities rank is now P) with potential of growing as a species rejoice as you grow.
that was the full warning those incapable of receiving it turned out to be a different breed of human.
they gave those humans a new name, we gave those humans a new name... homunculus.
we called them homunculus they were extremely special they had traits beyond us but, the skills they were straight up just off the charts.
that brings me to my list humans got a basic set of skills I included no I'm not a homunculus I'm just a normal human.
my skills list looked like this.
(skills).
basic weapon use (rank R)
basic energy use (rank R)
basic skill (blank){must enter augmented actualization}
basic adaptation (rank P) (no penalty)
{you can adapt to anything}
basic nueral link(???) (half efficiency need augmented actualization for full efficiency)
and that's that it's all so simple I also got a small metric cube which is connected to that blank skill I think?
oh I got a watch a purple one to be exact connected to my mind it is like a Holo screen as I have no contact with anyone I've had no use for it, it also acts like a computer and such again beside handfuls of time and lots of lotion I am willing to say it's useless besides being free.
as I have set myself apart from all of the drama I saved my start of the Umbrage system, I will be taking a shower since I was eating while doing this explaining.
although you always gotta get the boring parts out the way first.
...
now that that's out the way I suited my self up in a flight suit it is just a skin tight nano suit for pilots too put on under clothes it keeps the body clean, and the nanos use amonia waste for fuel.
which means one can pee in the suit don't ever shit in the suit... moving on the need to create bio waste will be taken care of by the attoanites in the pod but still eww.
now at last I can enter the pod.
opening the giant silver coffin was simple all I had to do was think open and it did seeing the bed of what looks like a silver jello I touched it a few times then decided to just jump in after I set my back into it I felt like I was floating!
then I felt a small vibration I completely sink into the jello and drifted away it felt like going to sleep then I felt a connection in my mind I felt a whole new level of mental thought.
I then saw and felt myself in a clear white room with a white desk and two chairs it was a weird feeling to see myself before feeling and connecting to my mind.
I screamed like a mad man but I couldn't hear a thing that is until!
hi I am Dom, your direct Omni mechanic.
this is your nueral room it is simple for you as it is the first time but can vary in both size and style.
I am an A.I that connects you to and from the Umbrage system as you are aware the system is a virtual remodel of the real universe nothing is the same, yet everything is different.
this is not a character creation this is a test of ability in which you have received a metric cube this cube is your inventory, which is dependent of class it may concern you but it should not as per the thousands of humans I have had go through induction I have seen no complaining.
now the first test is a mental test in front of you I will flash cards, you must tell me what the words said, each round will get more difficult and become faster.
Dom said as he held up cards of all colors and with many words
I read them aloud to him,
cat, rat, mat, bat, fat, sat, and black.
the next round was bigger words and it continued on for seventeen rounds he was almost happy it seemed when I failed.
Dom spoke with glee, " this is the best a human has done nice nice. both wisdom and intelligence are [rank M ] you are the one hundredth human to reach this rank.
next test reflexology and bodily reflexes.
out of absolutely no where a small red balm whizzed past my head a second one hit me in the chest it didn't hurt but I began flying backwards into the wall I left a dent in the wall before hitting the ground.
Dom spoke, would you like to reattempt the test?
yes I do please, silver said.
out of nowhere the balls came flying out being able to see them coming straight at him he was able to get past the first ten balls with no touches like the cards it got harder and faster.
only able to dodge fifty balls at once silver was slammed against a wall and Dom spoke with a slight bit of haste. although he is emotionless all the rest of the time it's just at these times he displays a small amount of emotion.
Dom spoke, it is true A.I have a degree of personality as the fact of race there is a Androidic race called the nencic, they provided a modicum of variation as I am one of the original six A.I system anigma, shadow, fade, smoke, Dom, and Vin.
we are the creation of the regalia's and the makers ultra A.I, we are another race ourselves not the ones mentioned earlier, yet we are here to make the game equal.
there is much to explain to you and you will learn as you go especially since I cannot say much else it is on to the next test, that would be the skill test.
I am going to ask you a series of questions I will now be projecting a form for you please sit in the seat.
*with a flash a small older man with white hair and thin glasses with a green cane sat in the seat across from silver.*
Dom spoke in an elderly tone, " now young man the first question is 'do you know why you got a pure color moniker?' answer nothing but honestly please."
I have no clue silver said.
Dom spoke to him again, " do you know what the biggest weakness to you?"
silver answered honestly "spiders!"
Dom chuckled then asked another, " what is your biggest strength?"
silver blinked for a second then spoke weakly, " I don't have any strengths... I'm mediocre at pretty much everything."
Dom blinked quickly a few times then spoke, "what is the least of favorite things you like to do?"
silver chuckled then said " being stuck In small rooms.
irony right? I live in a space ship so it's kinda cramped."
Dom snorted then asked, "what is the most favorite of things you like to do?"
silver said, "piloting I love piloting a ship that goes whoosh that is my favorite thing! although there are many people better then me."
Dom smiled faintly before going emotion less and asking me a few more simple questions.
question: what jobs I like?
answer: what pays me the best.
question: what is harder killing or running away?
answer: running away.
question: what is worse Killing or watching someone be killed.
answer: watching some one be killed, why watch it when you can stop it? killing happens every day.
saving someone is rare.
question: what is worse killing humans or animals?
answer: animals.
question: what is more lucrative, pirate or business man.
answer: both are the same they are crooks.
question: what is worse stealing from rich or poor.
Answer: I came from nothing big fish eat little fish but, it's worse to steal from the poor.
after the series of questions Dom shut up then said, "okay next test, that would be fighting attribute.
please let me know if you want a weapon after the first round that is the system will auto generate a weapon that is unique too you In the end of the test but for now use what you will, after the bare hands round that is, which is round one. begin!"
