Chapter 42 - Opportunity!

"Hahaha" all Stephen was hearing was a round of laughter his vision started coming too him as he looked around stunned at the hall and the four ultimas laughing with their forefather Stephen realizes that the pressure is gone as Stephen came back to his senses the laughter stopped as kirean said "your funny Stephen I was really asking you haha" with a final laughter from kirean the other four ultimas laugh aswell as Stephen is left there embarrassed but he quickly got calmed and asked "do I have any options" the people in the hall including kirean looked at him puzzled but then kirean nodded and said "it is good to ask about the options so you and your people can get the most benefits as for options we could build specific habitats for you or alter your genetics to be better we could do a lot in fact but the real question is are you determined" hearing kirean and hearing his last part got him thinking but then he got his mind together and said "I am determined to lead my people to a better future!" Kirean and others nodded as Kirean communicated telepathically with amber and told her to come as a minute passed and Stephen was getting a little nervous as he had no idea what was going on someone finally opened the door and it was amber seeing amber walk in Stephen was momentarily stunned as every Ultima woman he has every seen has left him stunned as they are too beautiful but he instantly became calm and looked at her curiously as he wanted to know why she came in, amber curiously looking at Stephen as this was the first time seeing him in person but instantly looked away and turned to kirean and said "greetings forefather" kirean nodded while saying "tell him the idea you came up with" hearing kirean got her excited as she could finally share her idea

"Forefather we still have to study if they can survive on a planet's atmosphere but if they can't I have a perfect solution we could use the gravity metal to build habitats around stars and planets for them simulating continuously being in space while being close to a planet with no danger of drifting away" hearing all her words god Stephen confused as he did not know what they were talking about kirean nodded but seeing Stephen confused he looked at amber and said "explain it too him" hearing this amber knew what to explain she turned too Stephen and simply said "you are not the same as your original race for some unknown reason you have mutated and evolved in only a single generation your body is what we call voidborn a body that rejects a planet's atmosphere but gives bonuses to being in space this is why your people have abnormal bone density as well as being way stronger than your original race if I were the guess, it would be possible if you were in a planet's atmosphere something wrong will happen in pregnancy's and it's possible you'll all will become extinct in a few generations but we could not help you with this as we don't even know anything about being voidborn all we know is that you prefer extremely low gravity over high gravity" hearing ambers words made Stephen go pale as his dad instructed him to find a planet and settle there if he could not make it back if he did as his father said they would probably go extinct his face got even paler as she said they could not help at all as Stephen was drowning in despair amber said something that drove him deeper in despair "and we suspect you to be an experiment as why would pirates sneak in and risk destruction over a little trade fleet as from your logs we know your trading company had way bigger fleets on even worse routes and it seems to me as you were purposely led to the black hole as a you would never be able to outrun a pirate ship bold enough to raid in a kingdoms territory let's not forget for them to be bold enough they would need some extremely good weapons but they didn't shoot a single shot even in shooting distance although I don't have complete evidence all of this being coincidences is quite unlikely" said amber as she herself thought she was right while the rest looked at Stephen in pity who was going through a mental breakdown at the idea of them just being an experiment he quickly calmed down not because he was unfeeling mainly because he didn't want to show an ugly side to the people that can decide their life with a single thought

Kirean seeing Stephen pull himself from despair that quickly nodded to himself as this guy had some good qualities to him kirean the said "actually there is one more option but it requires the determination to do it from all of your people not just you small warning this options affects are unchangeable but it will give you a better life than all the other options" kireans words were a little cryptic but Stephen got the gist of it basically there is an opportunity for all of them that will allow them to live comfortably and possibly have alot of power in front of them but all avars have to be determined to have it "ok the meeting ends here I heard you got some coins from Alex go to the market where the companies and shops are too see what you can buy" said kirean as he disappeared from the throne as Adam turned to Alex and said "since you two are so familiar show him around" hearing Adam Alex said "yes admiral" while prompting Stephen to follow him as he left the hall he could see Adam and amber smiling at him while they talked
