Chapter 4 - Day 4

Yesterday was a good day I spent it researching and reminiscing. Welp looks like the human meats from the raid on day one have gone off. I do miss Kitsuna's original planet where murder was acceptable and I was the strongest. Enough of that I have research to do and do it I shall having finished microelectronics. I realized I didn't find a solution to the problem of how am I going to power the comms console I just built and the orbital trade beacon in my tiny warehouse, I love space compression. Moving on to the power problem even though I personally know the basics of mana to electric wattage. I don't think this planet had enough mana as since the landing I haven't seen anything with mana denser then Kitsuna as much I need power she will never be my battery again. Thinking carefully I decide to use solar power until I research or a buy a nuclear fusion reactor or geothermal power. With the decision of how to power my hill in the short term solved all I need now is to look up some diagrams and blueprints. Then smack some handfuls of components together with some steel and boom solar panels. As I steadily erected more panels out by the fields Kitsuna came out and snuggled with me in the grass. We spent the next several hours just lying there staring at the sky and looking at each other, her tails are so fluffy and comfy. Must fluff and snuggle with those tails. I feel like each of those nine tails is fluffier then a cloud made of cotton balls, so fluffy you could sink in and never want to leave willingly. I do so wonder what she will be like once she has her humanoid form because currently her fur is a perfect snow white all over her body to be honest the sparkle it makes is quite mesmerizing. The way it sparkles like a fine coating of soft snow just fallen and how the fur is a finer thread then the highest quality HyperThread TM, smoother than a babies bottom. Kitsuna seems more intelligent then she looks cute as for as long as I have known her she has always seemed to understood why I am doing things though, it has also been a curse like the time we left her planet. Her eyes seemed so full of luster and innocence before that day. They never seemed to regain the innocence but over the millennium since then she has regained the luster some what. She is no longer the cute innocent pup she was. I am quite happy with her response to gunfire though as it has always been to hide in an area directly behind me typically under something. I don't know what I would do if I lost her probably preserve her corpse till I obtain a resurrector serum, even though it would cause massive brain damage at least I would have a portion of her back. Failing that I think I would join her in the after life, as she has been the only companion human or other wise to be able to or want to stick with me through the course of time. Though I am unsure if she has a choice in that as we did make a mana contract using her mana, which in our relationship would make her the master but the pull I have always felt has put me as an equal or slightly higher then her. Suppose with the panels up it's time to setup a kitchen and freezer. With my amazing electric stove setup and the coolers all ready I can finally cook all those raiders into tasty meals or fine rations, whatever you want to call them. With my food production finalized I can move on to seeing who occupies this planet and claims it as theirs. It seems that we have three high-tech factions, two tribals, three pirate factions, one space conglomerate, and the Star-Crossed Imperium. I decided to contact the Star-Crossed first as I once held a duchess level rank among them. I tried asking about them but I kept getting a stiff response of you must be a baroness or higher to contact us. This raised some questions so I tried stating my full name or at least the one recorded in their system Duchess Tempest "Tempest" Nullvalue as they wouldn't let me join if I didn't have a last name I didn't so I made a fake one up. The operator on the other end said "Mam that can't be right Duchess Tempest departed our home planet over 100 years ago, to go live in the far reaches not this shit-hole." I replied "Shit happens or in my case a ship crash here less then four days ago." He then said " I still cannot let you interact with us with out proof of your identity me we ask if your heir is still alive and with you." remembering who I set as my heir took while till I realized there was only one eligible candidate for my heir Kitsuna. "Yes, Kitsuna is still alive and well. We both landed near each other after the crash. If you want to check send a tribute collector to (xxxx,yyyyy)." He then said "That won't be necessary, we where just making sure you where who you say you are by confirming that you still have the nine tailed fox from 150 years ago as it was well known you never go anywhere with out Kitsuna." I though about this and realized that is probably true. I don't remember the last time I was with out Kitsuna. I then asked " Who is the current stellarch?" he responded with " Stellarch Neil Carr from when you last saw us is dead we now have Stellarch Aurick Greenwood." I realized it had been incredibly rude of me not ask his name so I did. "I am known as Aurick Greenwood Duchess Tempest" which gave me quite the shock till he mentioned I was using a channel only used by the stellarch after I left as this was once my private channel meaning it pretty close to unhackable. Next I tried contacting the conglomerate to see who they might be to my surprise it was it was subsidiary of Tempest incorporated or the company I started over three millennium ago to fund my constant crashes cause I am top of the blacklist for ALL insurance companies the frauds.
