After defeating and almost killing Jashin, the pocket dimension that has been trapping me in and isolating me from my crew, finally crumbles into pieces. The space around me started to shake and cracks, giving a vibe of dimension breaking... Before crumbling and then revealing both Victor and Thea right in front of me.
"Captain!" Both Thea and Victor raise their voice in excitement as they see me coming out from the pocket dimension.
The two of them started to run lightly toward me and then looked at my body, worrying over my body... But then, Victor said "I'm glad that I could make it in time, Captain." Before Thea confusedly said "Eh? What's going on?"
Not wanting to leave Thea confused, I smiled and then throw Jashin's body to her and she caught it. "Victor is in the ship and I managed to get Gaidos to inform him that I'm badly wounded. He grab me my Dark Ray and some healing supplies. He managed to send it through by clipping it to Jashin before Jashin left and that allows me to bait her into attacking me and I grabbed what was clipped away from her."
That's how I managed to win the fight. Because Victor is informed about my well being, he can follow my plan and do thing his own way too. Since, he's a former Captain of a well known Legion...
"I see, it is fortunate that Victor is in the ship then... Well, not really right?"
"I mean, we do realize them coming way before they actually attack us. So, it's only natural that I came to the ship as soon as I could."
When Victor and Thea talk about it, it makes sense why Thea's face is like that when we first go around. She realizes that something is going to happen. No wonder Victor is quick to respond to my emergency...
"I guess I need to learn more about my danger sense huh... Well, thanks to you guys, I am fine as I could be." I said my thanks to them because I survived and then looked at Thea "Take Jashin to our ship. Tie her up and put her into the Healing Pod. Make sure the setting is only to heal wound, not regenerate body."
"Understood, Captain!"
"Victor, accompany Thea, Paolo is going to be there delivering our new Nanotek Machine. I will have one last look around the area to see if there anything I like to buy."
"Yes captain. Take care."
There's no worries for me now that I have my Dark Ray. I left them to do what I asked them to do and then take a look around the Trade Ship one more time...
I look at my Ship System, to be specific, the upgrade tab...
My ship now is an advance Stealth Craft. Most of the component of my ship is already high grade that I can upgrade my ship into something bigger and better. There are two choices that I can choose, which is Cargo Carrier or Fighter Class.
Each class have their own advantages. Cargo is for more resource gathering and Fighter for fight... Naturally, since we are going to fight against the Deep Scavenger Pirates, it's better to choose a fighter... It's going to be more agile and with Gaidos driving the ship, it's going to be hard for them to hit us.
But, at the same time... We're focused more on actual fight between man. So, I don't see the reason why we should choose a fighter ship. It's hard for me to choose between it because of that facts. Cargo hold more stuff and I need more space to create more things.
"Well, it's time for me to upgrade to Fighter Ship..." That's the decision that I decide I wanted to happen.
Cargo is nice and all, but Fighter is more reliable when Gaidos driving the ship...
So, I decided to choose Fighter Class for my next upgrade and the list of material needed for me is there and also some add on if I want more upgrades...
Fortunately, in order to upgrade to Fighter Class, it's not really that expensive. Because I already upgrade my ship to advance and that means that I have some parts of the Fighter Class, but some.
The thing that I needed now is Shield Generators and Energy Dampeners to increase the survivability of my ship.
Upon seeing it, my face frowns a bit because I knew that I could use that Nanotek Machine that I didn't pick. But again, I need weaponry myself so, I just need to utilize energy than Nanotek...
"Gaidos. Take all the necessary piece from all of the Pirates ship around us. Prioritize their Engines and Energy Crystal because I want to create a strong shield that is on all the time and independently." I informed Gaidos about my intention and he replied "Understood Captain. I have received your list and I will further inform you if there's anything interesting that I found."
With Gaidos using the nanobots to scavenge the area... I use the System to locate those two thing I need...
Few hours later...
"Thank you for your purchase sir. I will deliver your items to you in a minute!" Said the shopkeeper.
I left the store where I bought the Shield Generators and Energy Dampeners in a very fancy ship store in the center of the Trade Ship... It was massive and that's why it's taking me hours...
Not only that it's massive, the things inside is interesting as well... I managed to pinpoint and take notes of further upgrades that I need and the amount of resources and money that I need to purchase those upgrades...
"Alright... I need to work a lot harder... I need to destroy the Deep Scavenger Pirates Legion, claim some bounties and then take over their ship. Since their ship is big, I could use it as a base." I muttered to myself, thinking ahead for the future that I wanted to achieve.
Interstellar Ark is a very expensive ship to create. Every single person who had Interstellar Ark, is an Overlord of some kind. If I can take over the Ship that the Deep Scavenger have, I will at least have a lot of minion that I can utilize to get resources for me...
But, in order to do that... "The Overlord of that ship, must die..."
It's decided... I want him dead for my own sake... Sorry overlord of the deep scavenger... But you are but a mere stepping stone for my path.
