I had registered for the xl powersuit training classes, piloting class, and mechanical training for both powersuits and ships. Isabella my crazy little maid took powersuit training, mechanics and navigation. I made Rin do basic powersuit training and the rest she wanted to do medical studies which was fine with me. Silvia and Sasha those little muscle heads just did powersuit training and mechanics so they can fix their own suits if damaged.
I had purchased sentinels for everyone including Amber and Cassie as they were good to have for efficiency and safety.
We went to pick up our stuff from the shop. We were given these nice little boxes with black cubes in them.
"To register the sentinel you just have to place your index finger on the cube it will take a drop of your blood and bind with your dna." The sales clerk says. "You purchased the advanced neural sentinel so there will be some additional set up as it links with your brain waves and adjusts to your body size. It can also be linked to your Xl powersuit and ship in the future if need be to act as a key and auto pilot. However if you want a repair sentinel that's an entirely different thing and you can purchase those when you get your T2 license." She explains as we touch the black cubes.
I feel a small pinch as the sentinel pierced my finger which Cassie made it so our bodies aren't as strong as steel for now with the sealing necklaces as any kind of physical we will need would register us as some kind of monstrous beings and we can't have that.
After a second the sentinel floats up from the box and starts scanning me and linking to my brain waves. When it's done it scans my phone and credit cards and starts registering itself as my primary communication and method of pay.
It pops up with a screen showing my heartbeat and all sorts of other medical information and tells me I'm perfectly healthy.
The girls finish their sentinel setup at about the same time as mine is done. I pick up the remaining two for Cassie and amber at home. Our sentinels are set up with our schedules and the programs we need for classes. Those of us with mech training need to purchase some tools for repair. I buy the best that they have and put in an order for a repair sentinel when I get my T2 license. I also put in a down payment for a medium cruiser class starship 25 person ship with a docking bay for powersuits and a warehouse for goods, a medical bay and a mechanics workshop. Of course it's just the bare items I'll have to pay for the gear I want but that comes later on.
After all our business is done and everything is paid for we make our way home. We would have had to do a physical but with our sentinels they just sent out our information for us.
At home I remember getting a notification from Cassie. [Universal multi tool upgrade acquired.] curious about this I pull out the tool. As soon as it's out of my inventory it sucks itself into the sentinel and starts upgrading. A few seconds later my little sentinel is good as new looking no different but I can tell it has some changes. It can pretty much do everything the sentinel and the multi tool could do. Which is quite effective. The upgrades were I got an unlimited air supply and it could eat metals to upgrade my body armor. Speaking of that it actually started to devour my knights armor bracelets.
"Hey! Bad sentinel!" I say trying to slap it away but it's no use as my armor is gone. "Ugh I liked that armor."
"Well then can you hack the girls sentinels and get rid of any kinds of traces and make it upgradeable like you?" I ask it. There's a flash and the other sentinels flying around shiver for a moment before returning to normal.
Cassie looks at me before touching her own sentinel. "You can feed it some blood stones and metals from the shop to make them soul bound like your weapons." I quickly take out all sorts of blood stones mithril and other ores including one called star steel. It's found in asteroids and has great building properties for weapons and items as it is tough and gets rid of any heat a weapon has on it rapidly so it's great for gun type weapons or the shells of ships.
The sentinels all melt onto the metal and start eating it. Nanotech sure is fun. While that's going on I have my sentinel adjust Ambers sentinel with what I like to call Papa mode. Anyone trying to harm her or anything like that will be met with a swift sentinel death and I'll be informed immediately. Also I put on parental locks so she can't be looking at things she isn't supposed to. I'll know where she is at at all times just in case of emergencies and she can call any of us at anytime she wants. A little screen of her vitals pops up under mine showing me she is perfectly healthy. If for any reason that changes I can get a view of what's happening like a camera if she is for some reason distressed. Yeah I'm an overprotective papa so what? Wanna fight about it?
"I'll have workers here tomorrow to upgrade a garage outside for your suits and mechanic workshops. I've already upgraded your workshop in the internal world and added a garage and a workshop for Isabella." Cassie says.
I give her a quick kiss as thanks and start fiddling with my new toy. I mean it's like a kid with a brand new toy you can't expect me to not want to play with it.
