Lisa had decided to stay on board until they were ready to leave the system. She had faith they would return to Ollhelian but it was better safe than sorry.
She and the rest of the party wanted to tour the ship and see whatever else the boys' had created while they had been helping to build the colony.
Jania wanted to try out her new suit. She was jealous that Kikei was able to use her suit first it seems the suit was far superior to the old suits in both looks and power. She didn't even know that the boys' had been working on new equipment.
"So boys where is my new suit?"
"I don't think the suit would fit you. we'll have to adjust it for your new body shape and that might take time" Null spoke with such impeccable deadpan timing the others of the group weren't sure if he realised what he had implied.
"What, are you trying to say that I'm fat?"
"no, but you are bigger than before especially in -" Kikei interrupted Null with a well-timed nudge to prevent him from making a fatal mistake.
Chris couldn't control himself and started to giggle uncontrollably which was not the wisest decision when dealing with a recently pregnant woman.
Jania shot Chris a glace that could have frozen a volcano.
"huh?" Null was confused about what happened but went and grabbed her suit. The suit had undergone some changes it also now offered Jania more protection especially around the vital organs. Null didn't want to see her hurt again.
They had also worked on making it easier to activate spells while using the weapons, and offering more spells. They were most proud of the reactive shielding, so if something got past the normal shielding Jania or Leia could activate a localised but stronger shielding.
Jania was impressed with her suit and wanted to know if it came with any new spells and Null and Infy were more than happy to show off their hard work. The boys pulled out an honest to god spellbook. Inside the book was a set of Zallium Crystal that each held a Prime Spell.
They pulled out two they believed Jania would like.
Thruster: Uses the motion field to allow the user to move in any direction by pushing in the opposite direction.
Enhance Blade: Uses the motion field to vibrate a blade at ultrasonic frequency allowing it cut smoother.
The boys had noticed with Kikei and they suspected Jania and Chris would be the same that using spells with the same affinity would achieve better results hence the choice of two motion field spells.
"Wait what about me?" Chris was feeling left out.
Infy's projection spoke up "Don't worry, we made some for everyone" and Null showed Chris the two spells he created for him.
Aim-Assist: Speeds up time around an attached weapon. This would allow Chris to take his time in aiming but the weapon would move faster in an external reference frame.
QuickCharge: Changes time around Powersupply, allowing for the weapons or storage devices to be recharged quicker than normal.
These two spells complimented Chris affinity to the time field.
They had also created spells for Lisa and still wished for her to use her new suit and spells. The spells for Lisa were created around her quantum field affinity.
Shrink: Allows Lisa to shrink any object by 30 per cent by removing the space between particles, so the mass stays the same.
PhaseShift: The opposite of Lisa own ability, instead of her phasing through objects she can shift objects out of phase so people can pass through them.
"New suits, and Spells, I think you are still holding out on us," said Jania, she had forgotten how much fun getting new equipment could be.
"No, that all we have" replied Null.
Kikei could have slapped her forehead." She meant weapons, you idiot"
"Oh, yeah we upgraded those as well" Null then when over to the workshop and pulled out a new gun.
They had created a new portable rail gun to use.
Chris was interested in the gun but had to ask "Wait, but we went to lasers because of shields, so why a rail gun?"
"Ah, we have made shield nullifying slugs. So you can only use slugs that are made by me and Null but I think it will be worth it"
"No one cares about your stupid guns, where's my new Kasarigama?" Jania couldn't contain her excitement and was bouncing on the spot.
Null pulled out an upgraded Kasarigame. This one had the weight removed and had a second scythe added made from the same material as the original but it also had a quick-release on the chain so the weapons could be wielded separately or together. Jania didn't even let him show them off before she snatched them out of his hands.
Jania danced around the room practising her moves and checking the balance of each weapon. She could tell the weapons had been designed just perfect for her. She was so happy ran over and hugged Null.
"Thank you, little bros. I can't wait until I can try the suit"
They then continued the tour. The battleship was shaped like a large crescent wing. The outer edge of the crescent was made up of individual docks for the 100's of drone ships they had created. The inter-edge was just used as a focus for a massive laser that would act as the ship main weapon.
The ship itself was powered by multiple redundant star reactors. The ship was over a mile wide and could have been home to 500 crew.
"How did you build all this, and where did the resources come from?" Lisa was in awe of the twins' ability to create such a large battleship hidden from the elves and humans alike.
The spiritual projection of Infy and Null both looked at Lisa like she had asked the silliest question. "We just teleported the resources from the asteroid ring we created. Build a small ship and then just built the ship from there"
After the tour, they all stopped to have dinner and think about the future. Lisa had observed that Infy seemed to use his projection more than in the past. He also spent a lot of time sitting on Kikei shoulder. She was happy as it made it easier to communicate with the two when they seemed like separate entities.
"So, how are we escaping past the barrier?" asked Chris, he was sure they were all thinking it.
Infy answered "We can't tell you, the dragons might overhear. You will find out when we escape"
Chris was intrigued, it seems they didn't trust the dragons. "Why can't the dragons hear?"
"The Dragons lie, there are many inconsistencies in their stories, and whenever we meet with the dragons the Paragons would get involved."
Chris believed he understood. " I believe the Dragons and Paragons are engaged in a cold war. That means they are about equal in power and Null and Infy can tilt the power balance, That would explain why both the dragons and paragons keep interfering". That meant Chris couldn't trust any of the assumptions he had made using intelligence from the dragon duo on the planet
