'Come on man!' Esmond cursed his luck as he suddenly appeared in the dark with mountains and forests all around him.
'Esy! Can you hear me?'
"Carter? You can actually contact me while I'm… here?
Wherever this fucking place is…"
'Weirdly and bloody fortunately, yes, now listen to me, I have a faint idea of where you have landed from the systems information being processed right now.
You need to move roughly Northeast, for 1.5 kilometres before you might come across the sight of the wreckage.
Now move!'
Not wanting to wait any more time, Esmond judged roughly the direction he was supposed to move in and gave it his all.
Having trained for a month in the Spatial Ark Land every day, Esmond hadn't improved beyond the first level of his Imperial Body Refinement and Spiritual training manual which need already gave him a great boost in power.
But the system improvements and level ups had given him such a boost that compared to the average human who had 5 per stat on average, Esmonds was a little more than 13 times stronger, faster, smarter among other things than anyone on earth.
However, in the grand scheme of things, Esmond couldn't never completely utilise all the wealth of power his addition stats afforded him, unless he wanted utter chaos to occur in the world, reserving it only for the space.
But being in a place where nobody could possibly follow him back and according to Carter, shouldn't cause any repercussions since it's a world created from the media, Esmond decided to not hold back.
Sprinting past trees, plants and soil that were all slightly uprooted or completely as Esmond flew by, creating a shockwave behind in his wake.
Within 120 second, Esmond arrived at a small cliff which overlooked the mountains on either and deep in between was a river going through which cut the line of sovereignty for both the north and South.
In between was the wreckage of the EDI UCAV strewn across the ground in various pieces.
By his count, Esmond thought it would take a great deal of time for him to move around and gather everything with a little more than 12 minutes remaining, however his guardian angels voice entered his mind.
'Hurry the fuck up and get closer to the wreckage!
Open up a damn door so I can send some drones to help your dumbass!
MOVE!'
…

.
Helicopters, trucks and various squads of soldiers from both nations were racing to the wreckage site, hoping to take full advantage of the materials they might come across.
The North had little clue about which nations equipment might have crashed, however the South had some clue with their superiors being informed by American Military personnel.
They had their own plans for the technology if it could come into their hands, so they were giving it their all to reach the wreckage site before the North.
However, while the two arrived at the same time and thought a small skirmish might break out over the wreckage site, when they looked around, there were only signs of a crash with the ground cratered and parts of the forest destroyed and burning.
Both nations soldiers were questioning the other for taking the wreckage, but those who weren't blind by anger or confusion could see that it was impossible to clean up a wreckage within such a short time by either nation or then leave without a race.

"Jesus, you look like shit!"
Carter had nothing good to say as Esmond appeared and suddenly crashed into the floor of the cabin covered with leaves, twigs, dirt, and plenty of other crap that covered him from head to toe, leaving a mess in the cabin wherever he stepped.
"Leave me alone… that took the wind out of me… goddammit, why didn't I stretch…"
Esmond groaned in pain as his stiff muscles were aching from the sudden burst of energy and power pushing them to extreme levels.
He slowly moved himself to the bathroom while Carter raced off to find the drones with the wreckage so he could tinkle with his new toys.
Before he knew it, both Esmond and he were informed of the latest addition to the Spatial Ark Land.

The two of them both stopped wherever they were and laughed aloud like psychopaths after slicing up their latest victim.
Thankfully nobody heard Esmond in the cabin, as the rest of the people within the second city could hear Carters maniacal laugh that's sent chills down many of their spines, enough causing some of the babies to cry at the sound of his voice from that day forward.
Carter had already moved instantly to one of the new drone factories he built that was close by to the factory where the fighter jets were being built.
He wanted to get to work with the designs given to him by the system, finding it unbelievable the system would reward them for bringing in tech.
In his mind, Carter wanted to push Esmond to jump into Star Wars or Star Trek next and bring over one of their spaceships over, however he knew deep down that wouldn't likely happen, he still felt like trying regardless.
But one thing he realised about the Spectral Consciousness Ability was it gave quests and rewards that weren't a joke.
Being connected to the system, Carter quickly figured out how the Inventory Function worked, before trying for himself to access it.
In reality, Carter could do quite the same number of things Esmond could with his connection to the system, but some tasks required Esmonds direct need to meddle, like making adjustments to the factories and improve them based on the knowledge from past lives.
Thankfully the Inventory Function didn't require Esmonds direct help to access it and so Carter connected the warehouse storages, that worked like the inventory, but they had limited space, and merged the warehouses into a massive warehouse that would take up close to half the United States.
It was a magnificent sight to see for anyone that saw it from the second city, however it quickly began to shrink and slowly stop at roughly the size of a soccer field.
Being the only building a large open field that was previously occupied by hundreds and thousands of warehouses was now going to move closer to the cities as Carter had checked and learnt that this was the final size of the warehouse.
It wasn't going to grow anymore, unless it was upgraded, and it could store an infinitely amount without anything being spoiled as time didn't pass within the Inventory space.
Carter actually felt ecstatic with the fresh open space before him as his main concern was the land would be covered in warehouses full of products made within the Spatial Ark Land.
.
Elsewhere in the space, Esmond, who didn't pick up on the rumbling within the space while he showered in the cabin, was thinking about his video games and those worlds.
Some of the games that came to his mind included Grand Theft Auto, Hitman, Tom Clancy Series and many more but once really stood out to him that he'd thought about in the past to replicate, however he had no idea where to begin…
It was called…
Halo…
A game series that stormed the world and schools, attracting people from all ages and genders to play as John – 117, an augmented human soldier who fought for the UNSC Marines and served as Master chief Petty Officer, commando of the SPARTAN-11 program.
Esmond had already planned to use his Golden Knowledge ability on Halo when he returned home, but his ability upgraded, he wondered what it would be like going over to the Halo world and what he could gain.
If it was possible, he wanted to get the information on the program used to create the Spartans so he could see if there were ways to produce it on a larger scale.
His idea was to create the program within the space and try to find a way to make it so that a legion of Augmented soldiers could be created like Master chief.
For now, though, he focused on quickly showering and then checking to see if certain materials were infused with the Zadrisian Psionic Energy to create an Ogryx infused alloy.

"Ya?"
A bulky man with packed muscle under his loose clothes, with a head full of dark brown hair and skin tanned light brown by the heat of the sun.
He was currently on the phone as he walked along the streets of Cairo, passing the Khan Al-Khalili markets and headed down some alleys till he came across the building home where he lived.
"Is this Mark Hoentjen?"
The man stopped in his tracks while moving up the steps to his room.
He had a bag in his hand with some food he gone out to grab for dinner tonight, but he quickly put it down to the side gently and moved to the far end of the second floor.
His own room was on level four, but he had some helpful tools down on this level.
.
"Maybe… Maybe not, now, how did you get this number?"
There was no panic in his voice as he passed a house on his left and saw some clothes hanging to the side.
Seeing a scarf, he could use; the man took it off the makeshift drying line for clothes and pocketed the scarf for now, planning to use it during his escape.
On the far side of the second floor, a small bin could be seen which wasn't overly used or bothered with because nobody would empty it, but that was beside the point, because nobody went near it, dark haired, blue eyes man hid two Glock 17s which two spare clips, ready filled.
Pulling back on the Slide of the glocks to see if everything was in check, he quickly tucked the guns away on his person and moved fast for the stairs, not wishing to go back upstairs, knowing there would be a squad either ready to kill him on sight or capture him.
.
"It's not important that I have this number… what is important is that you move fast and hard to get out of the city.
Now follow my instructions."
"Why should I?
For all I know, you could lead me into a trap."
Mark wanted to put the phone down and make a run for it, however the only thing to stop him came from the voice calling him…
"Codename Bronson…"
"How did you… *sigh*… tell me what to do?"
Mark had no time to ask how the person knew his old name that would be used during tactical operations and missions.
Right now, he was focused on saving his godforsaken life…
