When I arrived back home there were already tons of packages waiting for me and a newly built warehouse next to our house. Everything was rather quick when you had deployable buildings, high speed delivery ships and same day delivery options.
Cassie is direction a couple of cargo bots to store things in the warehouse. Cargo bots are kinda like small forklift robots they aren't what I was really expecting. They have special rubber treads to travel on land and rough terrain but not damage things like floor and other housing areas. They have both a kind of sled that they can slide under things and clamps to lock onto boxes from the side. They have two objectives, neatly packing items up where they are told and checking cargo for damage. That's it. They just put stuff where I want it and check and see if there is any damages.
I had bought way toooo much stuff. You ever just like get in the zone when your shopping only wanting to buy like 2 things but then bam your 50 items deep and have no idea what happened? Yeah that happened to me.
I bought a nice deployable habitat, high grade water machines, high grade food machines with different flavors, the vaccine machine. I also purchased a couple of add ons for my powersuit that they don't have normally. The teacher was very helpful in pointing out things that would be good to have.
I walked into the ware house and there was my 6 powersuits hanging on some hanging wracks like little puppets. I was allowed to have these and since I had gotten a storage place for them the school kindly delivered them. However I wasn't allowed to drive them until I got my license. The space ship was different I wasn't allowed to have that until I had my license and it would take longer to build. However for powersuits I could build onto one, get it painted do whatever I wanted as long as I didn't drive them.
I started unpacking items like upgrade parts and and powersuit gear. I also ordered tools as I like having tools on hand even if my sentinel can do most things since it is also my universal multi tool.
If you guys remember correctly my tool can do just about everything I need except become a vehicle I can ride or cause damage. This means it actually works and can upgrade vehicles for me. I'll show you guys that here in a few minutes. Right now the wife is foot tapping at me so that means I should get my chores done and unpack the items I ordered as they are taking up a lot of space in the boxes.
I unbox some tool boxes and hangars for powersuit weapons and tools. I make everything neat and tidy and my new powersuit warehouse was looking really respectable.
Now it was time to look at my powersuit and the girls powersuits.
"Can you double check the suits and see if there are any errors like faulty wires or anything like that." I ask my sentinel as it flies off and starts scanning.
[ One circuit found dislodged probably from handling. Has been repaired.] a message pops up in front of me.
Well I was expecting more but I figure they are made from machines so it's probably when they shipped it from the college for me.
"Bring up the upgrade screen for me." As soon as I say that the powersuit I'm standing in front of lights up and a screen pops up in front of me.
There's all sorts of information and little upgrade buttons I can press there are also item requirements. I can upgrade all sorts of things from energy efficiency to the armor on the suit.
My multi tool can direct purchase materials needed from the shop and give me a price on what it would cost me. I can actually get a few free upgrades since power efficiency can be helped by just something simple like sorting out wires and untangling things. I click on that upgrade and get a clear view of the wires disconnecting and reconnecting neatly inside. This only gives me like a 7% upgrade but hey that's a free 7%. I do it for all of the powersuits and even the cargo bots.
I keep upgrading efficiency on them it costs me some gold and copper and other little metals these weren't too expensive for me as it doesn't cost too much.
I upgrade the basic body with some star steel and mithril mix which gives it damage resistance and heat resistance. If you make it completely out of metal it's going to weigh far too much but if you mix it up with metals that's perfect. I give it a full engine upgrade to put out more power. I just give everything a full make over.
Next up I install all the add ons. I only got a couple but I did get a life sign scanner and a metal detector which install right into the head. This is great for mining and finding hidden aliens or space pirates camped out on planets. I also install some prograde anti hacking systems which I bought from the shop. I don't want any little fuck boy with computer skills getting into any items me or the girls own. That's a major concern for me in any kind of Tech based world and the next would be material to make it so my systems are guarded against electro magnetic pulses so they don't get fried. All the sentinels are upgraded with this and my main sentinel monitors everything so I'll never have to worry about it.
I'll do all of this for my ship when I get that as well I don't care if it's space pirates or the government I don't want anyone touching my stuff.
Since I've got all the upgrades done for now what comes next is the body kits for my powersuit. We got to make this baby look intimidating.
