Your name is David "Gunny" Rockefeller, no relation.
A veteran of the united states marine corps, you find yourself in a far-out situation after an all-too-close encounter of the third kind!

In the last thread, you and Gron made your way to a nearby nebula, searching for a teammate of his who'd been captured by local pirates.
However, after getting there, the first thing you encountered was something much worse than any ol' pirate.

After taking care of "them", now you're busy with the aftermath. And you still need to get that crewmember back.

"Well, now's your chance. I know biology isn't your strong suit, but we don't have an in-house doctor here. These things are pretty weird though, so i'm not sure it matters... Anyways, i want you to see what you can find out about them before we go turning them into equipment."

"Sure, sure. Wouldn't want to attract unwanted attention, now would we?" Sanig chuckles.

"Yeah, no kidding. These things have mind-control powers too, so who knows if turning their hides into a jacket would have some subtle influence on your brain? Ah, that reminds me, actually..."

Gildur wakes up just in time to see you lean down and grab one particular wraith by the throat and plunge your blade into it's skull. The sound of you digging through it's grey matter causes him to faint for a second time.

"Kid, i don't know if you understand how exploratory surgery works, but this isn't good for the process."

"Ah, got it!"

After a bit of digging, you pull a small, jet-black pearl out of the wraith's head. It almost looks like a piece of obsidian, but there's something weird about it.

"...What is that thing?" Sanig asks, leaning in to look more closely.

"I don't know. But i do know that if you stab them around this thing, they die almost instantly. It must be important."

"Good to know. But still, this is... worrying. Just be careful with that thing, will ya?"

You know exactly what he means. Light is actively bending around the little black pearl, giving it a sort of "black hole effect" that, honestly, makes you kind of nervous for some reason.
Before doing anything else, Sanig runs off to grab a plastic vial for you to store it in.

"Alright, kid. We got the bodies in the new cargo bay for now. When the janitor wakes up, we'll get him to clean out the medical bay and move those damned birds out so we can actually use it for it's intended purpose. But what about the girl?"

"Is she awake yet?"

"Not yet, but i don't see any obvious brain damage besides the concussion you gave her. If that was all, she should have been awake by now."

Cylia, who's been leaning against the wall and listening to the two of you speak so far, speaks up.

"Of course she isn't awake yet. She got possessed."

"Come on now, girl. You don't really believe in all those old fairy tales, do you?"

"Don't believe me? Fine. Ask Kyla if it's a fairy tale or not. The same thing happened to her when she was younger."

"Yeah, she told me the same thing." You add. "She said it caused a change in her personality."

"That's because these things... feed on you, i guess. The old stories say that those who survive are changed, because something was taken from them. They aren't the same person after being attacked."

Now you're kind of curious.

"What else do these old stories say?"

"...There are plenty of silly ghost stories, of course. But there are also stories of entire worlds going dark overnight. Ships going missing after a failed jump..."

"People disappearing without a trace after looking out the portholes during warp, and then reappearing out of nowhere some time later. Completely changed, like Kyla." Sanig adds. "Yes, we've all heard them... but it's still hard to believe."

"How hard can it be? You said you were attacked by them yourself, didn't you?"

"Sure. But that's all. They attacked, tore the crew limb from limb and disappeared. There was nothing strange about their behavior. Nothing like this."

You scratch your chin while you think for a moment.

"Hey, Sanig... was there any sort of power failure when they attacked? Radio interference, anything?"

Now it's Sanig's turn to think. It happened quite a long while ago after all.

"Might have been, come to think of it. Yes, i seem to remember the lights going out. Why do you ask?"

"That was them, too. Remember what i told you about what happened on the dodo planet?"

"The EMI? Kid, you were on a planet right next to a red dwarf. A little magnetic flux is nothing to be surprised about."

"Nah man, it's the fucking wraiths. Same thing happened on the ship back there. One or two isn't enough to do it, i think... but as soon as you get three or four in a room, they start blowing out lights and shutting down equipment, hard."

"Seriously? I've never heard of a living being generating EMI before. Interesting... very interesting! I'll definitely have to look into that."

"Guys?" Cylia interrupts. "What about Javan? Chances are, when she wakes up she's going to have a different personality. Who knows what's going to happen to her? And what are we supposed to tell Gron?"

>We tell him the truth. She got possessed, and she's lucky to be alive.

Right. So this was the carrier, but the other ships are still active. Time to go for those other ships then, right?

"What do you mean, what do we tell him?"

"I mean, if he finds out one of his crew got hurt while under our care..."

"That woman was responsible for her own safety. She chose to go out on a mission, knowing it was dangerous. Getting injured in the field happens sometimes. She was just unlucky."

"I don't think that's going to make him feel any better about it, David..."

"Regardless, i'm going to tell him exactly what happened, and if he's mad about it then he should do his job as their captain and make sure it doesn't happen again. How he does that is up to him."

Cylia looks like she's about to complain again, but Sanig stops her.

"Give it up, girl. He clearly doesn't give a shit."

You cross your arms in a huff.

"Making sure your crew is prepared is a captain's duty. Sure, there's no way anyone could have known there were wraiths on that ship, but we were prepared nonetheless, weren't we? After all, Cylia encountered one as well, and managed to kill it on her own."

If Sanig had any eyebrows, he would have raised one.

"Really? If it was the kid i wouldn't be surprised... Obviously."

He spreads his arms to make a point of the wraith corpses stacked around him.

"But you, girl? You took one of them out?"

Cylia blushes slightly and turns away, seeming embarrassed.

"Ah... well, y-yeah, i guess... although it nearly got me, first..."

"Hah. So even normal people can fight against them, if they're prepared enough. Interesting. Really interesting! I wonder if there's a market for this..."

"Hey, what do you mean by "normal" people? I don't like the implication." You chide.

"I'm not implying anything, kid. You're a straight up freak of nature. Everyone knows it, and don't try to pretend otherwise."

"Gee, thanks. No, really, i'm glad you think so highly of me."

"Don't get me wrong, kid. I don't dislike you or anything... but you're seriously scary. And that's coming from me."

"What do you mean, coming from you? There's nothing scary about an old man like you."

"See? That right there, that's part of it. No sense of self preservation, no a glint of fear behind those eyes. Even though you see us as people, even though you've never treated us badly... it's still like you're looking down at your prey. It's unsettling."

"...The fuck is he talking about? Cyl?"

Cylia scratches the side of her head, and doesn't immediately answer.

"Cylia?"

"Mmm... he's... not really wrong, i think."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, we've all seen it. Whenever you get that look in your eye... you know, during training, or..."

Her voice trails off as she remembers something.

"Was i looking at you funny?"

"No, it's just..."

"There's a pressure, kid. Looking into your eyes when get like that, it's like we're staring down a slyvern's maw. And i can't even imagine what your actual enemies must feel when you face them down."

"Ah, that again? Man, don't get me all worried like that. Look, i'm not seeing you as prey, i'm just looking at you as an opponent."

"That's exactly what it is, kid. You've got an apex predator's mindset, more than anyone i've ever seen."

You shake your head at him.

"Wrong. It's a warrior's mindset. They're similar, for sure, but not the same. I'm not just some wild beast, you know."

"Oh, i know. You've refined the act of ripping your opponent apart with your bare hands into a fine art."

"Yeah, that's exactly right. I am a predator, but i'm also a man, and a warrior. There's more to me than mere violence, that separates me from the wild beasts. I use my instinct to fight, but i don't fight using only my instincts."

"I'll be honest, kid. After seeing some of your combat footage, it's real hard to tell the difference. Seems to me like it doesn't matter whether you're fighting prey or predator, they're all the same in your eyes."

"Yeah, you're probably right about that." You admit. "But that's not the real problem, is it?"

"How do you figure?"

"The real problem isn't my strength, or my mindset. It's yours."

"...Oh really?"

"Yes, really. The only reason you feel that pressure is because you're acknowledging your own weakness. You know you'll lose, so you're afraid. You've got a loser's mindset."

Cylia and Sanig both fall silent for a moment as they contemplate what you said.

"...We're not like you, kid. We can't just rush ahead and plow through everything in our way. As nice as that would be..."

"Sure you can." You reply.

"Kid..."

"Don't "Kid" me. Who said you can't do it? That's not just a loser's mindset. It's defeatist!"

"Alright then, genius. How do you expect an old man like me to match up against someone like you?"

"Heh."

You can't help but chuckle heartily. So much so that it seems to get to the old man a bit.

"What's so funny?! You're the one who started talking all this good shit, so go ahead and explain yourself!"

"Old man, you built it yourself, didn't you?"

"What...?"

"The power armor. Who says it has to be piloted by a human? Who said it needs to be that size, or even that it needs to be human-shaped at all?"

"What are you on about, kid? We're not talking about war machines, are we?"

"Aren't we, though? Whether it's your body, your mind, or some tool... they can all be used as a weapon, can't they?
Sure, i might be one of the sharper crayons in the box, but most of my strength comes from diligent training, and nothing else. What about you, though?"

"Me? Where does my strength come from, huh...?"

"Think about it, Sanig."

"Heh. Hehaha!"

Now Sanig is the one laughing.

"Yeah, i get you, kid! I'm weak! Weak as hell, that's for sure! And i'll never match up in terms of strength! I never should have thought about it in those terms to begin with!"

"S-Sanig?"

Cylia seems concerned at his sudden outburst.

"Ah, i'm fine, girl. The kid just reaffirmed something for me, that's all."

Leaning down, you put your fist out for a bump, which Sanig returns.

"I don't get it..." Cylia mutters. "Is this a guy thing...?"

After a few firm slaps from Sanig, Gildur wakes up and is immediately dragged into the medbay to begin moving the dodos out and into cages in the new cargo bay.
After that, they'll begin sterilizing the medbay so it can be used for exploratory surgery.

You, meanwhile, decide to take a look at Javan's condition.
She's fast asleep on a mat of blankets in the old cargo bay, which will probably get turned into a proper workshop soon.

Although her body is covered by an electric blanket, she's shivering in her sleep. Tossing, turning and writhing as if she's having a bad dream.
You gently stroke the soft, smooth scales along her head to calm her down, and she seems to relax somewhat. She even hisses slightly as if sighing in relief while her muscles unclench. But her condition still isn't great.

"Damn. Well, i guess we should let Gron know. Alright... SHODAN, mark the location of this ship. It's still in useable condition, so i'm coming back for it later."

"Affirmative, Captain... but i should inform you, the stellar lightning that had been avoiding this area previously appears to be closing in. At the current rate, it will take two days to reach the ship's center."

"Well, shit. Will it be destroyed?"

"Most likely, Captain. The electronics will be fried first, but continual strikes will eventually shred the ship and melt the pieces into slag."

"Great. Do you think we can finish this job in under two days?"

"It is possible, but nothing is certain. However, there is another option."

"Kyla?"

"If we leave the nanofab with her, she should be able to get the ship into working condition on her own."

"So the ship could move, and it would have shields... but she's not a pilot, is she? I don't even know if that thing has an onboard AI."

"Even if it doesn't, her personal AI should be able to handle it."

"Ah, right... that backpack of hers. Yeah, that could work... but i'm still worried. What if that big bastard ends up coming back?"

"That is a potential issue. Perhaps Sanig could loan her his revolver, just in case."

"Maybe. They've already gotten her once before, but i don't know if that makes her more or less susceptible to their influence. It could be dangerous."

>Have Kyla stay behind and fix up the ship, so it's ready to go by the time you leave

Ask Sanig if he can make a jury rigged Voild shield Kyla can push around on a hover cart. It should protect her if shit it's the fan, and she could pepper any wraiths or demons with her revolver.

That's fine, the idea is to sell it. Actually, could SHODAN do a quick search to determine if anyone would be interested in buying this vintage if we can give it a good decal?
If not, how expensive would it be to replace to engines and equipment with more modern and efficent stuff? Would it not be worth the effort to restore it for use or selling it off?

>>5217560
It does sound terrible, but shes smart as fuck so if she's not able to get it up and running at the 36 hour mark we'll extract her and ditch the hulk. Still, might as well google search its worth if we spruce it up.

Hmmm, you make a good point about the only good thing about it is being big. Perhaps it could be used as another storage unit back at Xebric. Like we restore it, dock it, but only use it as free storage we dont have to pay for.

the issue isn't that she's smart, the issue is that we're leaving her in the ship with an unknown number of hostiles where she runs the risk of being possessed, killed and turned into a zombie. probably in that order as well. this isn't worth it, specially when we have captured way better ships by just taking pirate bounties

>Perhaps it could be used as another storage unit back at Xebric.
that's silly. once we're back at xebric we are going to take over the station, which means that we can have an actual warehouse to store our stuff, and no one will tell us anything because we helped in the invasion.
plus we know the location of the pirate base near xebric; i'd rather take control of that than the (probably no longer) wraith infested ship in front of us

That we might not get anything from trying to sell it? You might be right. BUT if we don't want to use the ship for anything, why not harvest the whole damn thing? Take it's navigational logs for research, stripe out the expensive tech that still might be useful, take the thrusters, pull out the shielding emitters, take all the dark matter fuel bottles plus fuel that's left. OH if it still has lasers maybe we could do something silly with them, like make man portable las cannons or heavy laser rifles.

Like, it's old and we probably don't want to use it "as it is," so the next solution would be to renovate it. Change out the old with the new, give it heavier equipment to make it a real heavy hitter in a dog fight, or just carry cargo for us. Of course there's the problem of considering how many man hours and credits it will cost to modernize the entire ship. I'd image that the cost of renovating the carrier would be significantly cheaper than buying a small 1-3 crew sized ship at 100-120k like Cylia's old one, which I think is slightly smaller than the Metal Gear?

At least if we renovate the carrier it would still be cheaper than pulling a ship out from a graveyard and attempting to fix the entire thing.

Have you ever tried renovating an old car? I have, and let me tell you, that aint worth it unless the car itself has a special meaning for you, because you'll end up paying the same, or double the price of the car itself and at the end you'll only get a pretty old car that gets beqt by a cheap modern car in every aspect except maybe looks.

You may argue that a spaceship is different, but it wouldnt be too crazy to assume that the same rules apply, and we just dont have that kind of money to invest into a project like this

If Kyla is capable of fixing the ship within two days, then it stand to reason that it would take even less time if we all pitched in the help move this piece of shit.

But I'd still want to get some estimates from the crew to know if it's possible to modernize this junk of junk, and roughly how much it might cost considering its 100 years out of date. The sensitive equipment might not be up to snuff, but the skeletal structure is still there.

"...Nah, it's not worth it. It's just an old junker, after all."

"You're giving up on it?"

"Woah, now! I didn't say that! It's just not worth putting Kyla at risk for. If we make it back in time, we make it. If we don't, we don't. Now, that said..."

You make a quick trip down to the junker's mechanical room and carefully remove it's dark matter and dark energy bottles, causing the ship to power down entirely.
Interestingly, despite the age of the ship, the design of the bottles and the mechanical room is practically identical to every other ship you've seen.

"Can't leave these babies behind. Two to a ship, and nowhere to buy them."

["Ever the pragmatist, Captain."]

The trip back to Gron's ship doesn't take long, although you do have to dodge quite a few lightning bolts along the way. Seems that pocket disappearing has disturbed the nebula somewhat.
Gron's position has drifted slightly since you were gone, but fortunately the radar picks him up in no time at all, and you're able to make contact via laser.

"This is Captain Rockefeller of the Metal Gear, come in Captain."

Gron responds almost immediately.

["This is Captain Kordunn of the vessel "Star-Fall". You've been gone a while, Captain. Did something happen?"]

"Yeah, you could say that. Javan was injured, but she's alive."

"That is unfortunate. Were the injuries severe?"

"Eh, it depends on how you look at it, i guess. Maybe it's best if we talk in person."

It takes a few minutes to dock with the Star-Fall, and when you do, both Gron and Asta come over. In fact, Asta pushes his way past Gron, demanding to see Javan.

"Where is she?!"

"Calm down, kid. She's not dead."

"I can't believe you let her get hurt right away! I knew this was a bad idea!"

You rub your eyebrows and sigh out in annoyance, and Gron places his hand on Asta's shoulder.

"That's enough, Child. Javan knew the risks, and agreed to participate."

Surprisingly, Asta actually at least attempts to hold it in after Gron chides him a bit.

"Yeah, that's the thing. None of us really knew the risk, or i don't think we would have gone in like that."

"...Yes, i see that you're injured, Captain. What happened?"

"Wraiths." You admit.

"...Wraiths? Here?"

Gron doesn't seem disbelieving, just a bit shocked.

"Six total, plus one other. Something bigger, or different at least. I'm no expert on the matter. That's the one that got Javan."

"Damn it. Was she possessed?"

This is the first time you've seen Gron genuinely look upset about something.

"Afraid so. I managed to knock it out of her, but... well, who knows."

"How long did the possession last? It's possible she may still be alright."

You have to think on that for a minute. Your sense of time was really screwed up by the fight, so you're not really certain.

"Let's see... Hmm. Anywhere from five to eight minutes, i guess? The big guy was busy with me for some of that though, if it makes a difference."

I guess with him being well traveled and living for centuries he would have come across some of that lore if nkt first or second hand experience.

"Not long, then... that's good."

You guide Gron to the workshop where Javan is sleeping. Gron looks over Javan's sleeping form, and seems amused.

"What is this blanket you've got over her? I can feel the heat radiating from it."

"Ah, that's an electric blanket. It's got a wire running through it. Short some power through it and it heats up, simple and easy."

"It's a fire hazard!" Asta bellows. "What if it shorts out or something?!"

"It's already shorted out." You inform him. "Were you not listening, kid? That's literally how it works."

Gron smirks.

"I'm sure she'll like it. How did you know that she can't produce her own body heat, though?"

"Well, she's a snake, ain't she? We have animals just like that on earth, so i figured she might get cold in here."

"He treats me the same way, like i'm a cat. The worst part is, half the time he's right..." Cylia adds, having entered the room just a moment ago.

Asta takes notice of her, and immediately walks over.
He gets way too deep into her personal space, eyeing her up and down like an idiot. Cylia visibly recoils at this.

And then he opens his big, stupid mouth.

"Hey, little sis. What are you doing on this ship?"

Cylia almost immediately bloodies his nose, which knocks him onto the floor.
And then she starts kicking him in the ribs while he tries to defend himself.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT, YOU FRIGGIN' MIDGET?! YOU'RE LIKE A INCH TALLER THAN ME, AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE A MALE?!"

"GODS, MY NOSE! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, LADY!?"

You and Gron both watch on in shock as Cylia hoists the kid into the air by his collar and slams him against the wall. She's giving him quite the talking-to.
Honestly, this is the first time you've seen her act like this... that you can remember, anyways.

"So uh... should we... should we do anything about this?" You wonder.

Gron's shock quickly wears off, and a smile forms on his face.

"Nah. His mouth was bound to get him in trouble eventually. Well, more trouble."

You wince as Asta says something else he shouldn't have, and gets gut-checked. Looks like that one knocked the wind out of him.

"...I must say, though. Your crew seem quite strong for their species. That fellow you had mopping the floor back there, he was a Kelbhund wasn't he?"

"A what?"

"His race, Captain. He's a Kelbhund."

"Oh. I dunno, i never asked him. He's just the janitor."

"Yes, well... i assure you, he's quite muscular for his species. That Jek'na as well. I could be fooled to think she makes her living as a bodybuilder."

"Ah, yeah. That'd be the gravity. It's turned way down right now since there's a lot going on, but normally we keep it at 1G."

"Really? Isn't that a bit intense for... well, technically i suppose your crew consists of predators, but..."

"Heh, yeah. An old man, two women and a dog. They can handle it, though. As long as they take their blood thinners, apparently."

"I see. No mercy, is it? But the effects are inarguable."

"Princess hasn't been mentioned, That said she is in the medbay sniffing wraith murder gifts with Ayylmao. Getting super funky ideas for her race, or are they actually weird for them? Maybe both are like Giant squids and whales aka natural enemies that square up deep under water but in this case in deep space.

Capha was wrong, But didn't she tag one? of did she not, because we don't know if her flames got it so her kill count might still be 0.

Princess can see wraiths, just like David can. Which is super weird, but then so is breathing fire, having acid for drool and being able to hibernate in a vacuum.
I will say this though. Slyverns fucking hate wraiths.

Think about it. Heat interferes with electromagnetic interference. Their acid could probably dissolve wraith flesh without much trouble. Their scales afford them some level of protection against wraith claws and teeth. The flight allows them to pursue airborn ones.
Seed a wraithworld with a few hundred slyverns and watch the problem solve itself in a few years.

Asta continues to run his mouth, and Cylia continues to kick the shit out of him for it.
While you're watching that and perhaps enjoying it a bit too much, you notice Javan starting to stir due to the commotion.

"Hey, Gron. She's waking up."

"Good. Just give her a moment, she might be confu-"

"Hey, Javan! Wakey wakey, eggs for snakey!"

Javan sits up and stares at you with a blank look in her eyes, blinking several times before seeming to come to. Turns out, she has a nictitating membrane, just like other reptiles.

"...Eggsss?"

"You want some? We've got a few extra since we're moving the dodos around right now."

Javan looks between you and Gron, then shakes her head and rubs her face with her forearm.

"Sssure, i guesss?"

She looks down at the warm blanket covering her lower half and runs her hands across it, then looks up at Cylia, who's still giving Asta an earful.

"Uhm... doesss anyone remember... what happened, exxxactly? The lassst thing i remember, isss the power going out..."

Seeing that she's asking questions and talking, you give Gron a slap on the back.

"Hey, look at that! She's fine!"

"No, it might take a while still to determine if any damage was done to her personality..."

"My persssonality? What? What happened?!"

"You want to tell her, or should i?"

"...Hmmm. It's true that i'm her captain, but you were the one in charge of the operation. I suppose it matters little."

"Well, you can take care of that then. I'll get started on her eggs."

On your way back to the kitchen, you drag Cylia along with you by her collar. Asta is slumped over on the floor with a fat lip, but still has the energy to curse at her as you leave, causing her to flail around like a pissed off cat as she tries to kill him.
You have to admit, she's kinda cute when she gets all riled up like that. Her hair even stands up, making her look fluffy.

Cylia is still kicking and hissing even as the door closes, but she doesn't run back out after him.
Instead, she stomps her foot and growls in frustration.

"Gods, i can't believe that little prick! Who acts like that the second you meet someone?! Does he have a piece of his brain missing or something?!"

"Eh, he's a teenager. Teenagers are stupid like that, i wouldn't hold it against him too much."

"No, he's not! I don't expect you to notice, but his guard hairs have already come in. That means he's been an adult for at least two or three years already, but he's still acting like that!"

You snort as you crack open an oversized dodo egg with the back of a spoon.

"Oh yeah? I had fuzz on my nuts at ten years old. It didn't make me a man, even if i tried to act like one. In fact, i don't think i really grew up until i'd spent a few years in the marines."

"Well, a guy like that has no business out here at all. And definitely not on our ship!" She huffs.

"Alright, alright. I understand your feelings. I won't kick him off unless he gets really annoying, though."

It would be beyond easy to goad Asta into accepting. We could play into him being too much of a little bitch to hit a girl shorter than him, maybe say he fights like a little girl? Maybe make him insecure enough that his baby brain demands he fights.
Oh man it'd be great, Cylia would brutalize him after we taught her how to fight.

The smell of frying eggs eventually draws Princess into the kitchen, and you can't help but give her a few platefulls as well before you're done cooking.
It's the eyes, man. She knows how to beg with those big, puppydog eyes of hers. What's worse is, she's smart enough to know exactly what she's doing.

As usual, she drapes herself around your neck like a scarf. Sadly, she's getting a bit too big for that already and it feels like there's a toddler hanging off of you.
You wonder how big she'll actually get. There's no solid information available on the web, just hyperbolic stories that sound more like dragons than an actual animal.

Kind of weird, you feel, since everyone seems to know about them. Surely someone has actually seen one, or run some medical scans on one? But no, nothing.

"Ah, well." You sigh, giving her chin a scritch. "It doesn't matter how big you get, you're still my little Princess."

Cylia looks over at you from the table, confused.

"Are you talking to yourself over there, David?"

Princess blows a raspberry at her with that cute little forked tongue.

By the time you bring the food out, it looks like Gron has already more or less explained the situation to Javan.

"It'sss fine. Honessstly, i don't even remember what happened."

Gron takes a stern tone with her.

"Even so, Javan. You'll need a full psych evaluation after the mission's over. That's an order."

"Yesss, captain. I underssstand."

"Hey, Javan!" You announce. "I made you something to eat. You're a carnivore, right?"

As you hold the plate out for her, she flicks her tongue in and out of her mouth several times, tasting the air around it.

"Oh! Thank you, captain. It sssmellsss deliciousss..."

Before she can accept however, Asta sticks his arm out between you two and gets in the way.

"Hold on, now! How do we know it's not poisoned?!" He interjects.

"That's retarded. You're an honest to god retard, kid."

"Hey, fuck you old man! Javan got hurt on your watch! Who's to say it was really an accident, huh?! Maybe you're just trying to... trying to..."

Seems like he finally noticed the smell of the fried eggs and vegetables, because his focus shifts down to the plate and you can see a strand of drool form almost instantly in the corner of his mouth.
He wipes the drool from his mouth and shakes it off.

"Trying... to finish the job! Huh?! I bet you won't eat any of it yourself!"

In response to that, you immediately cut off a piece of egg with your fork, chew it up and swallow it.

"W-Well, maybe it's just something you're immune to! Maybe i should take a little bite next... just a little~!"

Asta reaches out to try and grab the food, but you lift it over your head and he's completely unable to reach it.
He tries to jump for it, but you mush him down with your free hand.

"Nice try, kid."

Have Cylia do it first to show it's possible (because at this point, that should be normal for her)

Then have him do it.

He also probably listens to Gron more often than not. I'd wager he'd be genuinely insubordinate to David. Once.

And I ain't even worried if he bites it, just that whatever we'd be doing would end up getting harder or outright botched because of him. Imagine, we're in a ship and telling some pirates to stop being twats and we'll let them go and the exact second we say that Asta barges in and caps someone. Now there's a firefight and something valuable gets blasted. A total pain in the ass.

Rather just break his jaw by squeezing it and tell him to fuck off.

lets be fair with the kid right now. so far his only crime was to stand up to us when we assaulted the civvie ship, which was a move david would 100% do, including trying to break out of the handcuffs. him being overprotective of javan is a bit retarded, but its still in the acceptable zone; i mean, we did something pretty similar when we met grandpa gasbag, but unlike the kid we have actual retard level strength to back up our plans and not make too much of a fool of ourselves.

i just don't get why people want to antagonize him that much. yeah its funny, but we'll have to fight alongside him in the future when we raid xebric, so i'd rather have him begrudgingly trying to help us instead of finding a convenient way to kill us or our crew in the middle of the fight

Honestly is he spent half the time he seems to waste on talking himself into an early grave on something productive like range time or exercising he'd probably be top 1% of his species in terms of prowess. Got too much energy and too little brainpower.

Personally he just reminds me of one of the many fast-talking sleazeballs I've met. Like a used-car salesman except just up his own ass.

You feel an evil little smile creeping it's way up your face.

"You want some eggs, you little twerp?"

"N-No! I was just gonna give them a taste test! You know, for poison."

"Yeah, yeah. Bullshit. Listen here, if you want some eggs i'll be happy to make you a plate. If you drop and give me fifty, at my home planet's gravity level."

The kid stops resisting and back off, puffing out his chest proudly.

"Hah, no problem! Katshee is a high-gravity world, you know? Our species evolved in 0.7G!"

"You've never been to your home planet before, boy. And you've never been in gravity higher than 0.5G before, either." Gron reminds him.

"Pssh, so? Doesn't mean i can't! You ever not done something you could have done, before? I bet you have!"

"Alright, tough guy. Go ahead and assume the position, then. When you're ready, i'll crank it up."

"Easy!"

The kid drops down into position, and you give SHODAN the order.

"Alright, SHODAN. Set it to one gee. Shipwide, if you don't mind."

"Very well, Captain."

The smirk doesn't even have time to leave his face before it impacts the floor, his arms giving out on him entirely as the ship's gravity rapidly ramps up from an alien-friendly 0.3G to full earth gravity.

He grunts and groans under the strain, but doesn't verbally complain as he slowly completes a single pushup.
You take a moment to look around and see that Javan seems fine even under high gravity, but Gron looks noticeably uncomfortable.

"You alright over there, Gron?" You ask. "Knees are lookin' a little shaky, there."

"I'm... fine, human. I will admit, your homeworld is rather heavy. Particularly... for one of my kind."

"Yeah, i'd probably be feeling it too if i had a gut full of rocks and was wearing platemail."

Asta sucks air in through his teeth and forces out another one.

"THREEEEEEEEEE!" He cries.

"....You think he'll actually finish?" You wonder.

"Oh, he'll finish. And then he won't be able to use his arms for a few days."

While Asta is busy with that, you go ahead and give Javan her plate.
She enjoys her eggs quite a bit, particularly with the fried veggies mixed in.

You sit down on a folding chair next to her while she eats, and the both of you watch Asta grind them out.

"Hey uh, sorry about what happened. I wouldn't have brought you along if i knew."

"No, it'sss alright. None of usss could have known. Sssuch are the dangersss of living in unexxxplored territory."

"Is it any different in the core worlds? Less wraiths and pirates, i mean?"

"...The core worldsss are different. To find a wraith there, isss practically unheard of. Or at leassst, no reportsss make it to the public. Piratesss... there are sssome. Sssmall time, not like here. It'sss peaceful there."

"It comes at a cost though, doesn't it?"

"Ssso you know. Of courssse, everything isss ssstrictly controlled and monitored there. It'sss not a placcce where you can get away with anything."

"TWEEEEENTY! FIIIIIIVE!" Asta practically screams.

50 on one arm, then finish the other 50 on the other? Maybe those push up claps too? Maybe not the claps, Cylia wouldnt be able to steadily eat her eats.

To your great amusement, the kid actually gets pretty far. He conks out at forty-three pushups, which is better than a lot of out-of-shape humans you know.
But you can't help feeling a little bad for him, as he lay there hyperventilating and hypersalivating due to being overheated.

So, you pour a bottle of water on his head and give him a little encouragement.

"Come on kid, you got this. Just seven more. You did forty three, now you can't do seven? Bullshit, i know you've got it in you."

"My arms..!" He cries.

"Come on, man! Push past it! Force 'em out!"

Although he requires encouragement after every single pushup past number forty three, he actually does manage to make it to 50, eventually.
But you're not done with him quite yet.

"Come on, man! One more!"

"I'm... hah... already! DONE THOUGH!"

"That's right! You took it farther than you thought possible, and now you'll take it one more beyond that! Not for any reward, but just to prove to yourself that you can always do more if you put your mind to it! Now come on!"

"ALRIGHT! GODS DAMN IT, I CAN DO ANYTHING! I'M UNSTOPPABLE! HNNNNNGGGRGRGRRGRGGGGYAAAAAA!"

His eyes are totally bloodshot. He looks like he's about to pop a fuckin' blood vessel. His arms are shaking like a leaf in the wind and he's probably on the verge of passing out, but by god he manages to push himself up one last time.

"HAAAAAHAHAHA!" He laughs out, practically crying as he flops back down onto the ground, unable to hold himself up for even a moment longer.

"Hey, good set. We'll get you fed as soon as you wake up."

"Hah..?"

Asta looks at you, confused but too tired and in too much pain to think about it.

"SHODAN, give him a local gravity field. Zero G."

After a moment passes, Asta begins to float up off the ground.
And then the shift from intense exercise in high gravity to literally zero-g causes his blood pressure to drop dramatically all at once, knocking him unconscious instantly.

"There you go." You coo. "Sleep tight, little fella. Your arms are going to be on fire when you wake up."

"He passsed out? Isss he alright?"

"Oh, sure. I mean, his arms are definitely a mess, but i think we've got some medicine for that."

Gron looks over his charge and finds him sleeping peacefully. He'd have woken up by now, normally... but he's managed to exhaust himself entirely in just half an hour. Caithans really have zero stamina, huh?

"You... knocked him out by manipulating his blood pressure with a gravity field?" Gron realizes. "So casually, at that. Remind me never to piss you off, David."

"I'll bet he riled him up jussst so he could do it, too. Look at that grin on hisss faccce."

"Now though, i must admit that i'm interested to see what you can do, Captain."

"What, like just reps or max deadlift?"

"I'm not sure what you mean, but i'm sure your display would be impressive no matter what."

How many crew mates can we have on our back while benching them @ 1G?
I'm sure SHODAN would know their weights.

Start with Cylia and Princess, then add the others up to our max.

Or just get them all sitting on us. Know they're all on the lighter side, and given David is about 200lb, and extremely fit, can probably hit 2x bodyweight.

I just feel like his species is naturally predisposed to packing on muscle more than caithans. But regardless all of our crew is going to be stronger and bigger on account of the increased gravity they live in.

If we really wanted to blow an aliens mind though we'd introduce them to the concept of cold-climate gigantism. Deep-sea creatures where it's freezing all the time tend to be way bigger than warm water counterparts. Arctic creatures are generally larger than temperate dwellers. Seriously you go to a frigid place and the animals basically go up a weight class. Everyone talks up the grizzly bear as this big beast and the kodiak bear just clowns on it.

Makes me wonder if this phenomenon is present in space too. Has to be, right? Cold planet full of big lads.

That would make sense if he wasn't described as close to her size already. He's a lean dogboy. Which may be due to the pirate lifestyle, and we just didn't notice he's been packing on muscle.
>Makes me wonder if this phenomenon is present in space too. Has to be, right? Cold planet full of big lads.
I would bet that cold planets that could produce that phenomenon would be called death worlds, or have a very small predator species. Might find a space moose like our space elk. But something truely Earth huge? Not likely.

You think on it for a minute, and then decide to go for it.
Placing your palms on the ground... you lift your legs up over your head until you're doing a handstand.

Then, you hook your left arm around your leg as a brace so that you can more easily balance on your right arm alone, and slowly start pushing yourself up.
It's actually really hard to balance like this, but you got plenty of practice in while you were aboard the Nimitz.

"Impresssive control, for sssomeone with two legssss!" Javan comments.

"No, what's impressive is his arm and shoulder strength. How much do you weigh, Captain?"

"Hah... i'm up to... two eighty five... as of this week... hah."

"Two hundred and eighty five pounds? At your size? If i didn't know any better, i might mistake you for a Chondrite."

You quickly flip back up onto your legs and poke your head out into the hallway to call in the girls.

"Cylia! Kyla! Can you come in here for a minute?"

Cylia comes over from the kitchen, why Kyla comes out of the new cargo bay.

Kyla lovingly grabs hold of one of your thighs as she looks over everyone who's come to visit.

"What's up, hun? You're all sweaty! And why's that guy floating?"

"The little guy tuckered himself out, so now he's resting." You explain.

Cylia rolls her eyes.

"So in other words, you trained with him and made him pass out. Got it. What'd you call us in here for, though?"

"Well, i know this is rude to ask, but... how much do you ladies weigh?"

You look Cylia over. She's standing there, hands on her hips with a slight lean... but you'd guess she's around 5'4, maybe 5'5?

"Well, i weigh 105lbs now, after putting on all this muscle. I used to weigh 87lbs."

Christ, is she full of air? Hollow bones like a bird, maybe?

Next, you look down at Kyla, who's currently picking her nose with a dumb, happy expression on her face.

"Kyla?"

She flicks her booger away and responds.

"Me? Uhhh, like 95lbs. I haven't weighed myself in a week or two, though."

So they're both around a hundred pounds, despite their size difference. Either Cylia is really light, or Kyla is extremely dense. Maybe it's a little bit of both...

"Both around a hundred pounds, huh? Bout like a bag of concrete... alright! I need both of you to sit on my back real quick."

You drop down into position and look at both of them expectantly.
Kyla just giggles and hops right on, straddling her legs around your neck... but Cylia, not so much.

"What the hell are you talking about?" She blushes. "Why should i sit on you? Is this another one of your weird human fetishes?"

IIRC, it's the muscles trying to compensate for those tears by themselves that eventually yields more muscle mass.
If they get repaired by nanites as opposed to natural bodily processes, won't that just remove the need for the muscles to grow new fibers?

Maybe if nanites work by stimulating natural cell growth instead of straight up stitching cells together? Filling in those tears with new cells will mean more muscle mass.

"No!" You argue. "Well, not for me anyways."

Not at the moment, that is.

"Then why?" Cylia asks, arms crossed.

"Duh? To show off? And what better way is there to show off than doing pushups with two good looking girls on my back?"

Cylia raises an eyebrow at that, but doesn't move.

"...Come on, it'll be fun!"

Kyla leans back while holding onto your head, until she's looking backwards at Cylia.

"Yeah, Cyl! Come on, don't be a scaredy cat! Meow!" She teases.

"Isss thisss normal on other crewsss?" Javan mutters.

Cylia seems hesitant, and her blush is starting to look more like a sunburn, but as Kyla keeps meowing at her she finally relents, stomping her foot and yelling.

"FINE! Damn it, you bunch of weirdos! I just keep getting dragged deeper and deeper into this stuff..."

All in one motion she hops up and sits on the small of your back, crossing her legs and arms in a huff.

"Beautiful! Alright girls, here we go! HUP!"

You belt out ten, then twenty, then thirty pushups like it's nothing.
And it's not, really. Compared to the special training you went through back in the day... and some of what you've been doing more recently.

"Hah! Hey, SHODAN! Crank up the gravity for me, will you? Slowly this time, up to 1.5G."

"Affirmative, Captain.

"Hey, we're gonna feel that too you know." Cylia complains.

"Don't worry, it's just for a while!"

Over the course of 30 seconds you feel the weight increase, but it's not as much as you'd like.

"Crank it up to 2G, SHODAN! Just for a minute!"

You hear both the girls grunt as the weight increases further, with Cylia having to put her legs down and brace her arms against your back to keep from falling.

"D-David, it's getting hard to breathe..." She cries.

You guess that's about their limit, even for a short duration.
Ten more pushups later, you have SHODAN cut the gravity.

As soon as the weigh lifts, Cylia and kyla both start coughing and wheezing.
Cylia jumps down and stumbles away, looking a little bit dizzy. She has to lean against the wall to catch her breath.

"Yo, Cyl? You good over there?"

"Yeah, yeah... fine. Why wouldn't i be? I'm having so much fun..."

You'll have to make it up to her later. She did humor you, after all.
However, you're not quite done playing around yet. After all, two times gravity might be their limit, but it's certainly not yours.

"Alright, SHODAN! Three times gravity, just on me!"

Cylia is slinking off before you can drag her into something else, but Kyla and the others are still watching intently.
The heavy bag is still set up here in the workshop, so you walk over. As soon as your personal gravity field envelops the bag, the frame groans and sags down under the weight.

Javan's eyes widen, and Gron is watching you very carefully as you start laying into the bag. Neither of them have said anything for a while now.

First, a light one-two that barely moves it. Then a little harder. And a little harder. And then...

"One... TWO!"

You immediately notice something wrong by the feel of the punch, and an instant later by the spray of sand and gravel as the bag tears open.
The reduction in weight causes it to lift up a bit too high, and when it drops back down the sudden impact folds the frame it's hanging from in half like a sheet of paper.

"Ah... shit. Well, that's just a bunch of sand everywhere."

You turn around from the ruined mess of your heavy bag to see Javan's jaw hanging down, and Gron staring at you with one eyebrow raised.

"Rocks and sand...?" He asks.

"Uhhh..."

"You know i'm not literally made out of rocks, don't you? My flesh just has a high mineral content."

"No, i don't really know that, to be honest."

Gron begins walking towards you, hand outstretched like he plans to put his hand on your shoulder.

"I can't blame you for that. There are many rumors about my..."

He stops as soon as his arm enters the 3x gravity field around you.
His arm sags low for a moment, and he seems shocked. He waves his arm around in the air to test the weight.

"...Seriously?" He asks.

"...Yeah? I said out loud what she was setting it to, didn't i?"

Gron steps partway into the gravity field, and you can see the muscles in his leg bulge as he's forced to put far more weight on it that normal.
He grunt under the strain as he forcibly pulls his body back out of the field.

"Good gods. I thought you were bullshitting me. What maniac actually subjects themselves to such a powerful gravity field?"

"You just tried to step into it yourself, though..." You point out.

"Yes, well..."

"And besides, i can handle even more than this. It's not a big deal."

"Your gravity generator can go even higher? Why, though?"

"There'sss no way thisss can be healthy."

"SHODAN! Up it to five times on me!"

"Affirmative. Redirecting power to gravity generator."

You hear a faint hum from the mechanical room as the lights dim ever so slightly, and the weight on you increases even further.
Before, you could barely stand in this kind of gravity field... but you've been training your legs hard, and now you can handle it.

That said, you still weigh over 1400lbs right now. Actually walking at this weight is a challenge.

"Hell yeah... brother...! Pui-Pui might be... proud of this one!" You force out inbetween g-straining to ensure you stay conscious. "Vegeta though... maybe not so much!"

You take a simple fighting stance and throw a few test punches. They feel incredibly slow and heavy compared to normal, but you're sure they'd still pack a punch.
Gron, Javan and Kyla all watch on as you take enormously heavy steps and work through your usual shadow boxing routine.

"Perhaps it was a mistake to ally myself with this madman." Gron grumbles.

"He'sss nutsss." Javan adds.

"Yeah, you can do it, big guy! Look at those muscles!"

Well, at least Kyla's cheering you on.

"Living... the dream... baby!" You wheeze out. You wave to one of the ship cameras, and SHODAN slowly lowers the gravity.

Well, you're completely exhausted and you think your wounds have re-opened, but that was still a lot of fun for you.
Although, the air in here is still really thin. You can't exactly increase it either, or else the crew would get oxygen poisoning.

"Hah... hah... how was that... hah..." You gasp.

"Are you ssstupid or sssomething?"

"That's a great way to give yourself an aneurysm, Human."

"I didn't ask... hah... whether you thought it was a good idea or not."

"...Yes, technically speaking, it was a very impressive show. Extremely dangerous, but impressive."

"Hell yeah! That's what it's all about, baby! Gravity training is the future!"

"Rather, i'd say there's no future for someone who partakes in gravity training."

"Can you feel the fluid building up in your lungsss yet, captain?"

"There's no fluid in my lungs! Look man, fighter pilots train up to way higher g-forces than that. Admittedly, not sustained for long periods of time, and they certainly aren't walking around in it, and they're using special suits that squeeze the blood back up to their brain, but..."

"I think you've just further proven my point, captain... also, you're bleeding."

"Huh? Ah... shit."

Sure enough, the wound on your side has re-opened and is currently soaking your clothes with even more blood. At least you can't feel it.

"Alright, sorry but i've gotta take care of this real quick. I'll bring Asta his meal as soon as he wakes up. You guys can just... i dunno, hang around i guess."

Gron and Javan look at eachother and shrug.
You on the other hand rush over to the medical bay which, for the first time in a while is actually clean enough to use properly.

Inside, you find Gildur wearing safety goggles, a gas mask, rubber gloves and an apron, polishing a monitor using some kind of solvent.

"Hey, Gildur. What's that you're cleaning with?"

"...Alcohol." He responds, somewhat muffled.

"And you need all that safety equipment for it?"

"Yes, captain. If it gets on my eyes, it could blind me. If it gets on my skin, it could poison me. If i breathe it in... it could burn my lungs."

"And it's just alcohol? Nothing else in there?"

"Yes, captain."

"Great!"

You strip off your shirt, your bandages bandages and the skinsuit so that you have access to your bare flesh. The wound looks... not great, honestly. Not only did it not seal up in the first place, the edges are blackened with necrosis already.
Grabbing the bottle of alcohol out of Gildur's hand, you open it up and rip off the spout so that you can pour it directly onto the wound.

Despite being numbed by medicine, you can still feel the burn and are forced to grit your teeth through the pain.
Gildur stands there in shock, dropping the rag he was cleaning with like he forgot he was holding it.

Using more alcohol, you wet the wound, clean off the clotted blood and pat it down with a sterile rag.

you're supposed to wash a wound out with sterile water and manually remove debris, while using mild soap around the wound itself (but not in it)
You only want to pour alcohol on a wound in a situation where washing it out isn't necessary, because it'll cause cell damage and slow healing, possibly promoting scars too.
As far as space-tech goes, I'm sure these guys have developed a way of sterilizing wounds without needing liquid at all. I can imagine them using a brief flash of UV or something similar to kill shit off the surface, followed by some kind of a nontoxic gel for the wound itself.

"Gildur."

"C-Captain? I wasn't finished cleaning..."

"GIldur, get me a scalpel, some local anaesthetic and some of that burn gel."

"W-What? Y-Y-You don't have a-any..."

Gildur is trembling in place for some reason, and can't even complete his sentence.
You roll your eyes and move him aside to open up one of the wall cabinets.

"Let's see... poly-gel... antifungal gel... need some more of that too, actually. Ah, there it is. Burn gel."

Medicated Burn Gel, by Medicorp! For all your skin-regrowing needs.
Sure, it may not be that fancy 3D printed stim cell bullshit, but it still works wonders on small cuts and abrasions.

You start off by taking a hypodermic needle, something you had to print yourself, and filling it up with some of the galaxy's finest watered-down anesthetics.
You don't know what's in this shit, exactly, but it's serious weaksauce compared to what the greys were using on you. All that means though, is that you either need a bigger dose or a more direct injection.

You inject yourself beneath the skin at six points around the slash wound and rub the liquid deep into your muscles. It doesn't even take five minutes before the whole area is thoroughly numbed.
Next, you lay down on the operating table and bring one of it's surgical camera arms down to get a good look at the wound.

"SHODAN, patch the camera feed through to my holopad."

"Very well, Captain. However, i must inform you that this seems like a terrible idea, even for a human."

"It'll be fine. More importantly, i need to get rid of the infected tissue. My wounds should have sealed up with the help of the nanobots impregnated into that gauze, but they didn't."

"Don't you think that's because you were exerting yourself like an idiot?"

"Oh, that's definitely what caused it. But i've tested these medical nanobots before, and their performance is insane. I mean, it's not like it would have been properly healed, but it shouldn't have come open again. And besides that, take a look..."

You run your finger across the dead flesh lining the wound.

"That's not normal. I don't know if it's poison or something else, but flesh doesn't die and rot away that quickly. Not in a human."

"Can't you get Sanig to do this? Self-surgery isn't your only option."

"...I can do it myself. I don't need anyone's help for this."

"Nobody said you did, David. That doesn't mean you can't accept their help."

>Just do it yourself, quick and painless. You have plenty of experience as a field medic, and you know how to handle your own body better than anyone.
>You guess SHODAN's right. This shouldn't be particularly dangerous, and you know you could handle it just fine... but it might worry the crew a bit.

You open your mouth to speak, but think better of it.

You hate having to be taken care of, but you also don't want to worry anyone. Sometimes it's better to just let them do what they want.
Even though you could definitely handle this on your own, as you were about to.

"...Alright, alright." You sigh. "Let me go round everyone up real quick."

You sit up and get ready to walk to the door, but before you can stand the door opens up with Gildur and Sanig already there. You guess Gildur ran off to get him while you were getting ready to cut yourself up.

"You godsdamned idiot, what the hell do you think you're doing?!" Sanig yells.

"I was just coming to get you, actually. I-"

"Shut up and lay down, dumbass! Let me get a look at this thing."

"Alright, calm down... and Gildur, go get Cylia and Javan. We need to look them over next."

"R-Right, Captain! Sorry!"

Sanig lowers the table down to his height and starts looking the wound over.

"Hrm. Deep lacerations, down to the bone in some places. Still bleeding freely... in fact, it seems a bit thin."

"That's because i soaked the wound in alcohol."

"You..."

He starts to complain, but just smacks his own forehead and sighs.

"Don't fucking do that. Don't pour alcohol into your godsdamned wounds, even you should know that!"

"Nothing better for cleaning it out, man. Don't want to get an infection. It's also real good for washing away dried blood."

"If you were any other species it'd kill you, idiot. If not from the pain, then from the poisoning. Even if it's you, it can't be good for you. We have sterile water and antibiotic gel for that, use those instead."

"Alright, alright..."

Sanig looks over the wound a little more, and stretches the skin around it.

"...You already injected something? What was it?"

"Local anesthetic. Medicorp Class 3, not whatever that blue shit is."

"Good, that "blue shit" isn't good for you. Don't get me wrong, it works, but.... i'd rather use something else."

Gildur comes in a short while later with Javan and Cylia, who watch on while Sanig continues his examination.

"What's causing this discoloration?" He asks. "It looks like dead flesh, but it couldn't be. Not this quickly. I haven't seen you injured very often, so is it part of your healing process or something?"

"Nope. It's necrotic flesh. Not just dead, but already starting to rot away. That's why i was in a hurry to cut it off. If it spreads, you know..."

Sanig slowly pulls his hands back away from the area and hurries over to the sink to scrub his hands.
When he comes back, he's wearing two layers of gloves.

"Ehem. Yes, well, perhaps an excision would be for the best, then. I see you already have a scalpel ready. What's the burn gel for, though?"

"The gel? I've been using it on all of my wounds. It's got something in there that grows skin back really quickly. Some kind of artificial hormone, i think. I couldn't find any details on their site."

"It'll leave a scar, you know? Aren't you better off using regular medi-gel and a bandage?"

"Nah... every scar tells a tale, you know? I wouldn't say i'm proud of my scars, exactly, but... there's always this feeling of nostalgia when i see one and remember where it came from."

"Alright. Well, you're gonna be seeing that one on your face pretty often, kid. I don't know what it looks like under that bandage, but if this one's anything to go by..."

"Hey, at least it didn't reach my eye."

"True, kid. True. Getting a replacement bionic for that might be a little bit challenging, since nobody knows a damned thing about your biology."

You silently wonder if Sanig has any remaining connections to the greys that he could leverage in that sort of situation.
It might be possible to sell off your biological data in exchange for prosthetics, if you really needed to... assuming you had an in.

"Hold still, kid. I'm gonna peel this bandage off..."

You can feel fresh blood trickle down your face as the dried, congealed blood plugging the wound is removed along with the bandage.

"Same deal here..." Sanig informs you. "Necrotized flesh. The skin is thin here, and the cut is pretty deep. I can see your skull."

"Damn, that's pretty bad. Can we patch it up?"

"You're not a robot, idiot. I can't just weld you back together."

"You kinda can, actually. See the needle and thread on the tray right there?"

Sanig looks over and back at you. There's nothing but a blank expression on his face.

"He uh... he actually already did that to me, Sanig. It looked pretty clean, i think." Cylia tells him.

"Seriously? Even if it works like that for you... wait a minute, did you get cut too, girl? Why didn't you mention that already?!"

Sanig rushes over to her, leaving you bleeding on the operating table.

"Where is it?! Where's the wound?!"

Cylia pulls off her shirt and shows him the wound, visible through the cut in her skinsuit.
Unlike yours, there isn't any dead flesh around her wound. In fact, after removing the gauze and bandages, you see that it looks perfectly clean, with little inflammation.

"...It looks fine. Besides being sewn back together like a piece of cloth, that is. Are you sure it was a wraith that cut you, girl?"

"Yeah. Definitely. The same kind that attacked him, too."

"I don't get it, then. You both complained about the wound burning, didn't you? Why would their poison affect the kid, but not you?"

You might have a simple answer for that, actually...

"Ahem..." You cough, direction attention back to yourself.

They both look at you like they forgot you existed for a moment, and Cylia quickly puts her shirt back down.

"Maybe both wounds were burning, but one was more painful than the other. A laceration can burn like hell, even if there's no poison in it, you know? But with my pain tolerance..."

"It's all relative..." Sanig finishes. "Yeah, i guess it's possible. Just because an animal has poison, doesn't mean it uses it every time."

"It's possible they were just pissed off at me, i dunno. I was fighting four of them at once, and it was a little hectic. And uh... yeah, i guess they did gang up because i tortured one of them to death." You admit.

"You tortured a wraith to death?" Sanig asks.

"Well, i was looking for some sort of vital organ that could kill them quickly. Which i found, by the way."

"Yes, the stone... well, i can't blame you. I'd have done the same."

Sanig grabs some antibacterial spray and a rag and begins cleaning out the wound across your eye.
Unfortunately, forehead and facial wounds tend to bleed a lot, which makes it somewhat difficult.

"Sanig, he's losing a lot of blood, isn't he? Is he going to be alright?"

Cylia seems genuinely worried.

"Shouldn't be a problem. He's got the demon blood, after all."

What?

"What?"

"It's red, see? That typically means he uses a more efficient iron-based chemical process to carry oxygen, rather than copper-based blue blood. That, and... well, he probably got his booster shot as soon as the original crew of this ship picked him up."

"You didn't explain why it's called "demon blood"..." Cylia complains

"And what's this about a booster shot?" You ask.

Sanig rolls his eyes as he grabs a needle and numbs the area around your head wound. Then he grabs a scalpel and begins cutting away the dead flesh around the wound. He then uses a medicated wipe to stem the flow of blood from your cut.

"It's called demon blood because it's typically only found in so-called "Demons" from the common man's perspective. In other words, apex predators. If something bleeds red, it's probably strong as hell."

As soon as the wound stops bleeding, he disinfects it and fills the cut with burn gel to stimulate cell growth and promote healing. You can feel him applying a thin layer of synthetic artificial skin lattice over the surface before applying a bandage.

"And as for the booster shot... it's something the scouts give to any new species they plan on taking in long-term. As you know, all unmodified species have a mess of a genome due to the nature of natural evolution. And the harsher the environment, the worse that can get."

Next, he moves on to the cut around your side. It's already been numbed, so he disinfects it with the spray and begins cutting.

"It's basically just a mix of all-purpose nanobots, designed to work on most, if not all genomes to one degree or another. It's not perfect, not by a long shot, but it works about 99% of the time thanks to the swarm's self-learning algorithm."

You see Sanig placing long, thin strips of black flesh into a bag, probably for further study.

"They optimize the creature's genetic code, allowing it to adapt to what it might consider a harsh environment, with low gravity, low air pressure and hardly any oxygen. Garbage data is stripped out, and new, more efficient code is added in it's place..."

"Woah, woah, woah. Hold on a minute. That's not garbage data! It's redundant DNA that helps protect us against cancer! And other shit, probably!"

"Yeah? So what? We've had pills for that for a thousand years. You don't need it." He states, matter-of-factly.

"Well what if it makes me genetically incompatible with other humans?!"

"What? Aren't you porking our engineer? I thought you humans only kept one mate."

"Buh...!"

There's a lot you'd like to say to that, but it's also a slippery slope. You're also not sure you want to talk about this in front of the present company.

"Besides, kid. It's already done. And i'm not the one who spliced you, so don't go crying to me. Now hold still!"

"Oh shit, not the staple gun!"

You jerk away from him reflexively, but it turns out that he's just holding a paintbrush for some reason.

"Staple gun? What the hell are you talking about, kid?"

"Ah... well, sometimes if you've got a big gash or surgical wound, you end up getting your skin stapled shut. It hurts like a bitch."

SHODAN drops a monitor down from the cluster of tools hanging above the surgery table and displays a short video of what you're talking about, because Sanig still has no clue what a "staple" is.

You hear the sound of the staple gun going off several times, and the look on Sanig's face is something else.

"Gods! You humans are fucking barbarians! What's wrong with you all?!"

"Hey, it's not stupid if it works!"

"I never said it was stupid, i said it was barbaric! Now hold still, gods-damn it!"

"Why? What's on that paintbrush?"

Sanig holds up a small jar full of clear liquid to show you what he's using.

"It's polymer cement. It goes over the strips of artificial skin lattice to seal them and the wound against outside dust, debris and bacteria."

"That... that's just superglue! We do that on earth, too!"

"It is NOT construction adhesive! This is the proper tool for the job, purpose-built to be non-toxic and easy to remove after the fact!"

"Superglue is easy to remove, too! You just need to rub acetone on it!"

"Alright, now i know your whole species has officially fucking lost it! By god, if you ever get loose in the wider galaxy-"

It takes a solid twenty minutes for Sanig to finish looking after both you and Cylia. Javan got a once-over but didn't appear to have any cuts or wounds, except for a bruise and some swelling on her head.
When you stumble out of the medical room, you feel like a million bucks.

"I feel like a million bucks!" You shout, both hands on your hips.

"He's loopy from all the sedatives he injected himself with." Sanig informs everyone. "Enough to stop a slyvern's heart, by my estimate. He'll be fine in an hour or two."

"I thought they were local anesthetics, though?" Cylia asks.

"Oh yeah? Well, i thought the bottle said "half a milligram MAXIMUM" but what the fuck do i know. I'm going to work on the new cargo bay, don't call me."

"Cylia!" You shout. "Let's make some egg-drop soup!"

Better still, the tiny amount of formaldehyde that humans produce naturally is broken down by normal metabolic processes into formic acid, the stinging chemical ants get their scientific name from. IIRC that's near the end of the chain, and it gets broken into CO and H2O after that and exhaled.

Now in the kitchen, you take the lid off a pot at the back of the stove to reveal a steadily-simmering pot of bone broth.

"Ahhh... looks wonderful!"

"It looks disgusting. Aren't those the bones leftover from our meal with the Oni sisters?"

"Indeed they are! And they make a wonderful soup base, with a little preparation."

Lifting the pot up, you put it to the side and remove the spent bones, tossing them aside for Princess, who immediately swallows them whole.
You'd be worried about her choking, but they dissolve within like thirty seconds, from what you can tell.

"Alright, let's get this ring on here..."

Using a metal locking ring, you secure several layers of cheese cloth to a second, identical pot and, after manually skimming off any scum from the top, pour the rest of the soup through the cloth to filter it.
What's left is a clean, albeit somewhat murky-looking soup base. To clear it up, you place the stock in a sink full of icy water, and after it's cool enough, crack a couple of eggs into the base and mix them in thoroughly.
Next, you heat the base back up until the egg proteins cook up, trapping all the fine particles left in the stock. Now it's nice and clear!

"Oh, wow. It looks a lot better now, actually... and it smells great!" Cylia comments.

"Don't drool into the stock." You reprimand. "Now, mix up two tablespoons of vegetable starch with the warm water over there, would you?"

"This white powder?" She asks, picking up the wrong container and turning it over.

"No, that's baking soda. The one next to it! Look, i wrote "cornstarch" on the side."

"David... this is completely illegible."

"It's called CURSIVE and if i had to learn how to write it, you've got to learn how to read it. Shouldn't your implant be compensating for that, anyways?"

"I think even our implants have their limits..."

"Whatever, just mix it up, would you?"

While Cylia is busy with that, you use a modified sonicator pen to cut open the top of a dodo egg and insert the single blade of what is essentially a fancy, food-grade concrete mixing paddle.
With the blade inserted, you add some light spices and a bit of MSG in place of salt. After that, you blend it just a bit to break up the whites and yolks without thoroughly mixing them.

"Cylia! You done over there? I got the pot warmed up already, and the egg's ready to go."

"Huh..? Ah, yeah! Just... hold on, gimme a second..."

"Cyl? What are you doing over there?"

As it turns out, she's playing with the starch. ALL of your starch, actually.

"...Cyyyyyliaaaa. Are you making oobleck over there?"

"Uh... I don't know what that is, but even if i did, i admit to nothing."

"It's fine, i can just dry it out again. Kandurian wafers are like ninety five percent starch anyways, so..."

"Oh. Good! Ehem. H-Here's your starch water."

"Thank you very much!"

To the starchy water, you add a bunch of liquid orange dye to really give the color some pop before mixing it into the soup stock, thickening it up.

I don't give a single flying fuck how practical, useful, or applicable it is kids need to learn it because I did too. So fuck em.

The main problem with cursive is that everyone treats it like a fucking whiteboard scribble and completely disregards the actual form the letters are supposed to take.

Rather have learned an actual second alphabet instead of the same one but squigglier but hey, education is a fucking joke.

Which reminds me about how the ayyyys have an equally goofy curriculum. Hyperspecialized is just as bad as unfocused.

The speed of your writing is entirely dependent on your practice doing it. Legibility is also a huge factor. And both of them are slower than typing. And that is slower than simply recording either visually or audibly. It has no real function and certainly not a justifiable one.

But those little rats don't deserve to get off easy, they should still learn it.

"Why is it so... yellow?" Cylia wonders. "It looks almost like..."

"Like egg yolk? Yeah, that's the point. It's egg drop soup, after all. Now, watch this..."

Using a ladle, you stir the pot of thickened broth slowly, and with your other hand you slowly pour the contents of the egg into the broth, allowing them to immediately solidify into long strands within the soup.
It's a lot of egg, but it's also a big pot. It takes a while to get it all poured out, and the nearly boiling soup has cooled significantly by the end. You pour up a bowl and top it off with some sliced greens before handing it off to Cylia.

"There we go! How does that look?" You ask.

"Almost like shredded meat, i guess? It smells like eggs, though."

"Should be nice and filling. However, we're not done yet!" You declare.

To start off with, you set a pot of (sadly synthetic) cooking oil on the stove to heat.
Next, you pull a roll of pre-prepared dough out of the fridge and begin slicing the log into segments, which you then cut in half to make varying lengths of rectangular dough.

As soon as the oil is hot, you dump the dough off into it. This makes the oil angry, which ends up scaring Cylia somewhat.

"H-Hey, that's boiling oil, you know! Should you be standing so close to it?! Isn't that dangerous?!"

"Oh, sure. I've been burned before. That's just one of the dangers of cooking, though."

"Seriously...? Is it worth risking injury just for some food?"

"Oh, absolutely. Don't forget, you think soda is spicy. I'm pretty sure a jalapeno would kill you."

"If you think so, then i'd probably agree. I don't know what a jalapeno is, though."

"The jalapeno is a type of fruit pod which contains highly poisonous compounds, causing extreme pain in anyone who consumes them. This is the plant's natural defense mechanism, but humans have taken a liking to the euphoria induced by the pain it causes, so it's used regularly in cooking." SHODAN informs her over the intercom.

"Oh, right. I forgot, humans are insane." Cylia mutters.

"Oh, that's nothing. Don't get me started on masochism and sadism."

"Masochism is a sexual fetish in which one partner enjoys being humiliated or having pain inflicted upon them, typically via spanking or-"

"LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU! THANK YOU VERY MUCH SHODAN, PLEASE NEVER SPEAK AGAIN!" Cylia yells, covering her ears.

You chuckle and pull the fried wontons out of the oil, giving them a shake and placing them on a wire rack to cool.
Picking one up, you blow on it and take a bite. The flavor is very light compared to wheat on earth, but the salt and MSG make up for it. Somewhat.

Cylia is still blushing from before, so you hand her the other half of the wonton to take her mind off it.

"Here. These are basically crackers for the soup. They're not bad, i think."

Cylia takes it and tosses the whole thing into her mouth without actually looking at you out of embarrassment.

"Indirect kiss~" SHODAN taunts.

You laugh at Cylia stomping her foot and yelling at the ceiling.
But as that laugh turns to a cough which you cover with your hand, you taste blood in your mouth.

Examining your hand, there are definitely some small spatters of blood there.
Can't be the cuts, since Sanig already took a look at them and cleared you. Must be from when Javan slammed into you, then. Those were actually some pretty hard blows.
Either way, you don't feel any internal damage right now, so if you take it easy for a while after this, you should be good to go. Assuming it's anything at all, that is.

Moving on, you get to work cutting more dough to shape and pull a bowl of filling out of the fridge, unwrapping it.
You had to make this while everyone was in bed, because the ingredients are... well, not exactly appetizing, even to you.

However, it's a new, overlooked source of protein that you discovered while on Thekia.
Mites. Dandaran Mites, which occasionally enter a station hidden in shipments of blue milk. Apparently they're a common pest found on the underbellies of the buggalos who produce said milk.

On stations though, they just end up eating trash or sucking blood from sleeping people and animals. Each one is about the size of your thumb, but what really got your attention was their appearance.
Somewhere inbetween a shrimp and a grasshopper, they have big, meaty bodies with large, powerful-looking legs, and a proboscis that sticks out from between their mandibles when they drink blood.

More than anything though, they definitely look like a shrimp.
You can't blame a desperate man for trying, can you?

But you're glad you did, because they actually taste pretty great. Not only that, but they basically have no exoskeleton whatsoever, except for on their legs. Pop those off and you don't even get a crunch, just a juicy morsel.
Still, a bug looks like a bug at the end of the day, so you ground them up into mince and mixed it with some toasted bread crumbs to fill it out.

After forming the filling into balls, you fold the dough up over them and press it closed, forming a bulb-shaped wonton dumpling which you place into a basket to steam for a while.

"Hey, what are those you're making?" Cylia finally asks, after she's done yelling at SHODAN.

"...Want to try? I've got one or two left over from the other day. Should still be good to eat... probably."

"What, you've made these before? How come i didn't get any...?"

Cylia pouts, but that quickly changes as you grab a small plate with the last two dumplings from your test-batch on them and toss them into the microwave.
Well, you call it a microwave, but honestly you have no idea what this thing is or how it works. It seems to heat anything you put in it evenly, from the surface all the way to the center at once. It's what a kind and caring god would have made a normal microwave to be.

Regardless, the dumplings come out steaming within seconds, and you quickly pluck one off the plate for yourself.

Cylia turns the dumpling over in her fingers to examine it before shrugging and taking a bite.
Almost instantly, her face lights up and a big grin spreads across her face as she chews.

"It's delicious! David, this tastes like meat! But it's not dodo, is it?!"

"Nope, it's not dodo."

Cylia pops the rest of the dumpling into her mouth and chews it fervently.

"Whad is id then?!"

"Ahhh... y-you know, just some uh..."

You're trying and failing to come up with something here.

"It's... a secret."

"A secret?"

As Cylia licks her fingers clean, you get a look at her tongue. It's somewhat flat and pointed, with little spikes on it just like a regular cat. That's kind of cute.

"Uh... yeah! It's a secret recipe! A good chef never gives away their secrets, don't you know? Sometimes their dishes aren't even copyrighted, but nobody can replicate them anyways, because they don't have the skill. That's just how it is."

"I guess that makes sense!" She smiles. Oh god, you feel kinda bad that you're feeding her bugs right now. M-Maybe it's normal? The taste is good, anyways...

"Ehem. Well, i assume you have no complaints?" You ask.

"Nope! I've never tasted anything like that before, but it was really good... everything you cook is really good."

Cylia sighs as she sits down at the table, where her soup has been left to cool for a bit.
She looks down at it in contemplation.

"Cyl? Is something wrong?"

She hesitates before answering.

"Mmm, not really, i guess. It's just... it seems like you can do anything, but i don't really have a whole lot of skills that i can help out with. I can fight and sneak around, but that's about it."

"You aren't feeling useful?"

"...Yeah, i guess so. I was just thinking, maybe if i knew how to cook like you do, i could at least contribute something during our off time. Besides money, that is."

The real issue with cooking is trying to find substitute ingredients and knowing *how* to use them. And that kind of skill takes a few years to really learn how to do. If she wants to learn how to cook she should first start with her native dishes and start branching out from there. Since she would know what those dishes should taste like she would have a starting point to learn how to substitute things in.

"I guess i could teach you a thing or two about human cooking. After all, it certainly couldn't end up any worse than what you're stuck eating normally."

"So, you'll teach me?"

Cylia tail wags gently from side to side, twitching here and there on occasion. She must actually be excited about this.

"Yeah, i'll teach you. But, keep in mind that cooking costs. It costs time, it costs money, and sometimes it costs your fingers. Don't think for a minute i'm going to let you use that piece of shit over there."

You point to the corner in which sits the dust-coated "auto-slicer" that was here when you first stole the ship. It uses pulsed lasers to cut through soft foods in a matter of seconds, always in perfectly formed cubic portions. However, it also leaves a slight burnt taste on everything it cuts.

"Ah... well, that's fine. I'm pretty good with a knife, actually!"

"Oh yeah? Here, then. Show me what you can do."

You toss Cylia what you've taken to calling a crunch-berry. A big, round fruit that has the texture of nuts which have been glued together. It tastes alright if you toast it, but cutting it into fine slices is difficult, as it like to crumble.

"If you can slice that thinly without crumbling it in under a minute, i'd say your raw dexterity is good enough. I'll still be giving you tips on how to handle the blade, though."

Cylia looks over the crunch-berry in her hands and bring it to the cutting board to prepare it. Interestingly, she doesn't use one of your cooking knives, but instead pulls her custom warp-infused blade out of it's sheath.

"...You did clean that thing, right? I don't want any wraith blood in our food."

"Yes, David. It's clean..."

"Ah, ah, ah. It's "Yes, Chef." While we're in the kitchen."

"Huh?"

"A chef is the master of a kitchen, just as a captain is the master of his ship. I'm the captain of this ship, but i'm also the chef in this kitchen. And right now, i'm acting as a chef, so use my appropriate title."

"Yes... Chef."

Beautiful. Like poetry, even.

You notice that Cylia naturally holds her blade in a reverse grip, but before slicing the nut-like fruit, she flips it around and holds it in a classic pinch-grip.

"Have you been watching me, by chance?" You wonder.

"Maybe a little..." She admits, sheepishly.

"No, that's good. There's nothing wrong with learning from others, as long as you can apply it to your own cooking. Now, go ahead."

Cylia slices into the fruit and is immediately surprised by the texture of it's inner meat, which is nothing like the soft skin surrounding it. Normally you'd peel the skin off before slicing it, but in this case it'll actually help hold it together for her, so you won't say anything.
To your surprise, after the first blunder in which she puts a little too much pressure into the cut rather than drawing it and breaks off a small piece of the nutty flesh, she adjusts excellently and manages to cut relatively thin slices out of the remaining fruit.

"Not bad at all. You wouldn't believe the way some people cut up their food, seriously. It's important to keep the pieces roughly the same size, so that they finish cooking at the same time... unless you're looking for a little variety in texture, in which case-"

You were just about to start rambling when Asta barges his way into the kitchen, both arms hanging limply by his side.
Kyla comes in right behind him.

"WHERE'S MY FOOD?!" He cries. Sounds like he's in a lot of pain.

"Sorry, he was making a fuss..." Kyla apologizes. She ducks out of the room immediately afterwards.

"Awake already, huh kid? Alright, go ahead and sit down. Your dumplings will be ready shortly, but the soup is already good to go."

Asta does as he's told without complaint. He does, however, make a lot of groaning noises as he plops down into his seat and lays his head down on the table.
You place an oversized titanium straw down right in front of his face, so that he can see it.

"Hah... what's this?"

"It's a straw, kid. Made out of titanium, for style. So don't bite down on it."

"That's stupid... that's totally stupid... nobody drinks soup through a straw." He grumbles.

"Alright, genius. If the straw is so stupid, how do you plan on eating your soup?"

"With a...!" He pauses. You fold your arms and stare at him, disappointment evident in your eyes as he realizes his own profound retardation. "With a spoon... ah. Right. My arms."

You roll your eyes and ladle him up a nice bowl of neon yellow egg drop soup, sans wonton crackers.
He lifts his head up to look at it, and seems utterly disgusted.

"Is this... puke?" He asks, sounding genuinely shocked.

"Even if it was, i'd still make you eat it."

"David's food can look a little weird sometimes, but i guarantee the taste." Cylia offers. She takes a sip from her own bowl and licks her lips clean with a smile. "Only... you might get fat if you eat too much of it. It's actually too nutritious."

Asta looks down at his bowl with apprehension, but still leans down and gives it a sniff. His mood instantly changes.

"Wait a minute... that smell. That savoriness... is this... real egg?! LIKE, FROM A BIRD?!"

"It's in the name, dumbass. Egg drop soup. Soup with eggs dropped into it."

"Holy shit! Straw, i need the straw!"

Asta frantically slams his head against the table and tries to maneuver the straw into his mouth using his lips.
You can see him smearing drool all over the table... you'll have to clean that up later. But, he does manage to pick the straw up on his own.

Immediately upon doing so, he slurps up a big mouthful of steaming hot soup all at once, and...

"HOT! BURNING HOT!"

Immediately sprays it all over the table as he spits it out.

"It just came out of the pot, idiot." You chide.

"YOU COULD HAVE FRIGGIN' TOLD ME THAT, IDIOT!"

"Sorry, we'll take you in for an eye exam later since you seem to be blind, as well as dumb."

"I'M NOT BLIND!"

"Too bad you're not mute."

"What was that?!"

So he failed at 1) critical thinking 2)interpreting visual cues
and 3) understanding tactile sensation
You could even argue that smell as well can denote temperature as hot and cold air both produce different sensations in the nose. But I'll just consider it a subset of the sense of touch since that's probably the underlying cause.

I dunno man. Everyone keeps saying he isn't retarded but I'm really starting to think he's legitimately mentally impaired. Like he has a certificate for it and everything. Probably has it hung on his wall. Thinks it's a diploma or some shit.

"I said your dumplings are ready. Spoiler, they're hot too. You might want to blow on them first, just saying."

While you're busy grabbing some dumplings and putting them on a plate, you can hear Asta smacking his lips behind you.

"Woah, you weren't kidding... it's actually really good!"

"Told you. Just don't drink any "soda" if he offers it to you." Cylia warns.

"What? Why's that? What kind of food is it?"

"It's acid. He drinks it for fun."

"Hah?!"

You set a plate of dumplings in front of both Cylia and Asta. Cylia seems excited, but Asta is just as apprehensive as he was with the soup at first.
In fact, he just stares at them for a good minute or so.

"...Well? Are you going to eat them or not?" You ask.

"Why do they look so normal? This is just dough, ain't it? It's suspicious, ain't it!?"

"It's not just dough. There's a filling inside."

"Aha! I knew it, what are you trying to feed me?! What's in there? More acid?! Huh?!"

"What do you mean, "more" acid? I never gave you any acid in the first place."

"That's besides the point!"

"I don't think it is, but if you must know, the filling is basically just meat, breadcrumbs and spices."

"Meat?"

He looks over to Cylia for confirmation. She glances over at him while slowly placing a dumpling in her mouth and chewing on it with a big grin.
Asta rapidly begins blowing on his plate of dumplings to cool them off, then just grabs a whole one with his teeth and starts going to town on it.

"Hot! HOT, HOT, HOT! Mmmm! Oh yah, thad's da good shtuff..."

You're pretty sure he's still burning his mouth, but he doesn't actually seem to care anymore.
You set a glass of mixed fruit juice on the side for him, with a straw already in it. He sips it to cool down his mouth, and thanks you.

"Man, that's good! I don't know where you got meat out here, but i don't care either! Thanks for sharing it with me, man!"

"Yeah, yeah. No problem kid. You kept your word, so i'll keep mine. That's how a man should be."

"You shaid it!"

He's already back to stuffing his own face, alternating between picking dumplings up with his teeth and drinking soup through a straw.

"Man, what's this guy doing on Gron's team, anyways?" You mumble quietly.

"Id'sh because i'm shtrong!" he says, gulping his food down. "And i'm really good at sneaking around, because my hearing's so good!"

"Mmm. Well, i can't deny you're strong. By alien standards, anyways. Cylia could pound your ass into the ground like a tent peg, though."

Asta glares at Cylia for a moment, or so you thought. Now it just looks like he's watching her eat.
He clears his throat before continuing.

"Ahem. Yes, well, i'm still growing, you know. I'm sure i'll be strong enough to take on anyone in your crew before long." He boasts.

"Maybe if you keep up the gravity training." You joke. "Do you even have any weights you can wear?"

"...Wear? Weights? As training?"

Fuck that. Make some leg weights like Rock Lee for Asta and Cylia (with maybe more weight on Cylia, because she's already being on 1G more time than Asta)

Make them go for a few runs around and maybe some other exercises, that surely will improve their movement and footwork

Really what's telling about what Asta said isn't that he isn't aware of weights, but he immediately defaulted to "training" instead of "exercise".

"Guh... old man?! I'm not that old! I'm only 39!" You complain.

"Really? Huh, you look a lot older, though."

"I've had a rough life, alright? Stress ages you more quickly. It's not my fault i've got a few wrinkles and grey hairs."

"I uh... i've never heard of anything like that. Wouldn't that much stress just kill you?"

"...Yeah, sometimes it does. Anyways, SHODAN can upload some designs to your holopad. Get them printed out when you get a chance, it'll help you with your workouts in the future."

"Thanks, old man!"

"Goddamnit, i'm not old. Not yet."

...

You, Asta and Cylia spend a good half hour eating together, with the conversation dying down somewhat as you focus on your food.
You were never that great at chinese food, but not terrible either. You'd honestly prefer some barbecue, but meat is still very precious right now.
And besides, you still have essentially no spices at all, besides salt and MSG. Not even pepper. Not that alien spices don't exist, but everything you've found was so weak, you could barely taste it.

When you're all done eating, you have to drag Asta out of the kitchen with him holding onto your waist. He's so full and sleepy that he can barely walk, and of course he can barely use his arms either.
However, Gron and Javan aren't waiting for you in the cargo bay anymore. Instead, you hear them together with Sanig in the medical room.

"-as what i said. I'm surprised, honestly. He may be smarter than he looks, which is worrying."

"I do not believe that one should be judged by their potential for destruction alone. After all, his diagnoses has prolonged my life. A force of destruction has no need to help others."

You hold outside of the door to hear more of what they're saying, uninterrupted.

"Yes, i know he's not simply a mad beast. But the arrival of his people is bound to shake things up, if they're anything like he is. And the deaths that will cause are inevitable."

"There is no sense fearing the inevitable, old grey. They will come, and the galaxy must adapt. Those who cannot, will perish. That is the true essence of life that we know."

"Yeah? Well, you know as well as i do, that's not the majority opinion. Prey species outnumber predators at least thousand to one, and even here in the boonies it's still a hundred to one."

"Has that not always been the case? How many herds must you need to care for a small population of predators? Nothing has changed from the days of old, even now."

"No. They may be descended from prey species, but they aren't defenseless, nor are they simple cattle. They'll fight back. You know that too, don't you? Why else would we need to gather crew just for a single station?"

"Just a single station... yes, but even that station houses over a million inhabitants. And as you said, even a cornered herbivore can bite. I never said it would be easy. But i do believe that it's inevitable."

There is no point in ignoring the elephant in the room. That discussion sounds like our best chance to talk about possible future of humanity among the stars. Especially since Gron seems to be on our side.
After all, humans aren't only destructive. True, our arrival would severly disrupt the status quo. But we could also change the galaxy for the better, bring forth a new wave of technological and cultural innovation.
We could also ask SHODAN to show them some materials on human humanitarian efforts so that Sanig would possibly gain a more favorable view on humans. Right now, he probably sees us as a whole species of dangerously unstable monsters that could burn down everything they come across and laught while standing on the ashes.

True, changes are often scary. But we might be just the thing that would change the galaxy for the better.

which would definitely happen if the leaders at the core worlds or whatever alien major faction finds out

We should show the good in our species, but also give insight in what often drives us to unspeakable violence. That is, marginalization and vengeance fuelled by a sense of justice(whether it is well placed or not is irrelevant).

We are very social and adaptative, we can be either your best friend or your greatest enemy. The choice is theirs to make on what we'll be.

I don't have an issue with Jews at large. Only plutocrats, whether kike or not. Those are the true rats.

You know back on earth, even our herbivores can kill. We got things called Moose that can plow through snow and gore you with their antlers, if not bludgeon to death by their hooves. I'm talking something can could probably easily kill Gron. We also got Elephants that can kill like, so many people, and they are very hard to put down if you dont use anything strong. Theres a documentary back on earth about a rampaging circus elephant that damaged for a while. Took hundreds of shots before it went down.

Anyway moral of the story is herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore everything on earth can kill in some capacity. Fun stuff.

Walking in, you see that only Sanig and Gron are here. Javan must be elsewhere.

"...Hey, boys. Talking about me behind my back again?" You joke.

You set Asta down in an office chair by the door. He belches and grumbles something about how flavorful the dumplings were.

"Not quite, captain. We were just-" Gron starts, only to be interrupted.

"Yes and no, kid. Not so much you, but your whole species. I know i've voiced my worries in the past, but the more i think on it, the more i worry."

There aren't many seats in here, so you just learn up against the wall and cross your arms while you listen to what they have to say.

"Like i was just saying, i know your people aren't just savage beasts. I believe you when you tell me that. But when i think about how many of you there are? I mean, kid, come on. Look at how much trouble you get into from day to day."

"I understand, Sanig. But you gotta understand, i'm not an average human either. Most people... most humans just want to live quiet lives, not bother or being bothered by anyone."

"And you must surely understand, with that over-sized wrinkle of yours, that it's a numbers game. Most isn't all, and there will be people like you. Or worse. There are always those who don't treat alien species well, or don't treat anyone well."

"Sure, i can agree with that."

"Then, can you imagine? If we, as a society, had to deal with a rampaging human, armed with human weaponry? How is a common prey species meant to keep themselves from being ripped in half?"

"They can't. Well, unless they too arm themselves with human weaponry. It's called an equalizer for a reason."

"There's nothing equal about that flak cannon you like to strap to yourself, kid. Tell me, what's the crime rate like on your home planet? Amongst your own people? How many of them are violent? How many murders are there?"

"...Uh. Well, i guess that depends on where you live. Or rather, what race lives in a certain area. It's not good in some places though, i'll give you that."

"Alright. I'm not sure what you're on about, but consider it for a moment. That's amongst your own kind. Human against human, gun against gun. Out here though? If there was even a small gang of humans running amok, they'd be practically unstoppable."

"Yeah, i know. That's the plan." You admit.

"...What?"

"When i get back to earth. I want to pick up some old combat buddies of mine, maybe recruits some willing nerds to serve as staff. See what we can really do out here, you know?
There's this one guy i used to run with, Andre Rush. We called him Chef Rush-Hour cause he'd whip up a meal in no time flat. I think he's working in the white house, now..."

"So you're planning to raise hell and take shit over after all?" Sanig asks, sounding serious.

"Yeah? Obviously. Everyone has to carve out their own place in the world. Humanity was always planning on doing that, but now it's clear that we'll have resistance, too."

So i just refer to them as a retrovirus.

A forewarning, the following post is the ravings of a sleep-deprived man.
I can't wait to see what the DNA of those Wraiths looks like, or whatever the fuck their equivalent is. Think about warping their genome so that the resulting being is a subservient symbiotic organism that actively enhances the host it's in instead of sucking them dry and ruining their emotions.
Think about creating human-obedient wraith assassins that can track their prey through the warp.
Think about creating modded wraiths that hunt wild wraiths no matter where their target goes.
Think about growing custom wraith-material goods from their damned flesh.
Wraiths are an untapped goldmine, once we can break them and bend them to our will.

Think, anon, think! A parasitic organism that can regulate the host's fear, pain, and bodily functions! That can make the host endure long past the point where their body should have failed, and give them practically supernatural physical abilities! A nigh-telepathic connection to other parasite hosts! The ability to shut down unshielded machinery, possibly able to be suppressed or intentionally triggered with conscious thought if worked on down the line. And, most importantly...occupying the host, rendering them incapable of possession from natural-born wraiths.

Gramps, you need a bit of context.
SF Operator with eclectic policy that you can at least advise, or the human governments 'glowies' and resident spooks along with the carer lifelong desk jokeys.

He most likely had to deal with the whole backroom inter office politics and grand design of grey shadow players, and humans, in that area are like the difference between him and David. Les technically knowledgeable, but just as ruthless in instinct and with the physicality aspect as a rule at a minimum military standard- at least when they join up.

So essentially if you want to profit from the upcoming human surge you have to be in position to ride if not control the wave. Lucky galaxy they picked a MARSOC SF operator who should have the knowhow to mostly avoid notice from the major players at least for a while, and one who can also get in touch with dependable trained humans that know how to keep quiet.

Now this means that without David you get wither the big players lumbering their way in or uncontrolled asshats and yahoo's doing a one way trip to the promised land of milk, honey and alien space babes. Or try and forget about this and hope it does not become an issue a couple centuries down the line.

But with David to run herd on humans... Well the questions become what do we want, what do we need and what has to be taken and held to be a relatively independent buffer state that can't be easily pushed around by either earth or Central alien figures.

Sanig sighs out in defeat. It's difficult to say what he's thinking right now.

"What's the matter, gramps? I thought you liked stirring the pot a little." You ask him.

"...Yeah, you're right, kid. I'm sure it'll... it'll all work out in the end. Somehow."

Sanig moves to leave, waving to you as he passes by.

"I'm gonna get back to fitting the cargo harnesses, kid. Keep an eye on that cut, alright?"

"Yeah, sure. See you, gramps."

Sanig exits the medical room and the door closes behind him, leaving you and Gron stuck together in awkward silence.

...

"Do you want to know what i think...?" Gron asks.

"Yeah, why not. Shoot."

"I think he's worried about his species, more than anything."

You raise an eyebrow, curious as to what he means.

"As you know, the greys are an unchecked power in our galaxy. They act when and where they please, with the council doing more to deal with them than suppress them. As it stands, they're... on top of the food chain, if you catch my meaning."

"Yeah, i get you. We have the same saying on earth."

"The old man, Sanig... he told me a little about you. Your capacity for intelligence. The fire he sees inside of you. He need not say it, but the fear in his eyes is evident. He's convinced that your species will end up taking their position."

"Yeah...? So? The galaxy's plenty big enough for the two of us. And if it ain't, there's plenty more galaxies out there. Besides, i think humanity and the Greys could get along just fine. As long as they chill on the kidnapping and medical experimentation a little."

"Ah, but that's just it. That kidnapping and experimentation is the Grey's lime-cake and mineral water. All their funding, all the power they wield, it comes from their stranglehold on advanced technology. A hold they only have, because they get into the market early..."

"By kidnapping alien species, and experimenting on them before they become space-borne. Or by studying the biology of death-world plants and animals and adapting that to... whatever they need, i guess." You surmise.

"Exactly. But if the humans go on a warpath and demand that the greys cease such activities, their stranglehold will loosen dramatically. And what is a grey who holds great intelligence, but no real power to exercise it?"

"...Impotent?" You guess.

"...Uh, yes. In a sense, i suppose. But not what i was getting at. Captain, you have to understand that a grey's power is their technology. Without that, they are doomed to become a prey species. The prey of humans, specifically. That, i believe, is what he fears."

"Well, that's ridiculous."

You wave your arms around at the room you're in to make a point.

"Look at all this crazy shit the greys have made. What do humans have? The fuckin' smartphone? I mean it's cool, yeah, but nothing like this. Do you have any idea how long we've been trying to make something like SHODAN? The president would suck Sanig's dick for that kind of tech."

"Honestly," You continue. "I see humanity and the greys forming a symbiotic relationship. I mean, we're not really competing for the same resources, right?"

"I suppose not. Material scarcity is of little concern once you become space-borne." Gron admits.

"And we DEFINITELY don't live on the same kind of planet, right?"

"I... don't believe greys live on planets at all, anymore. They live in custom-built habitats, as far as i'm aware."

"So what's the problem, really? Human gets pissed because they're doing some fucked shit and tell them to knock it off? To have some goddamn morals? Here's the thing about that, chief."

SHODAN displays a 3D render of the african continent through your watch.

"This is Africa. And Africa is a shithole. But you know what? We "civilized" folks don't live there, so we don't care what happens in africa, or what people do there. I could start to describe some of the shit that goes on, but then i'd need to wash my mouth out."

Next, SHODAN displays images of a smog-covered city and video of fish desperately jumping out of the water onto dry land. Bridges made of plywood and corn cobs. The video of a raccoon dog slowly being lowered over a wok full of boiling water is cut off prematurely.

"And this is china! Which somehow manages to be worse, despite being """civilized""" according to most people."

"What are you doing with your fingers, captain?"

"They're called air quotes. It means i'm mocking the idea."

"I see..."

"Anyways, my point is that humans have an amazing tolerance for evil, as long as it isn't affecting them directly. Even if it's their own government, they'll just sit around and let it happen until someone comes knocking at their door specifically. THEN it's an issue."

"So you think that you and the greys will co-exist just fine, so long as you don't step on eachother's toes?"

"Yes, exactly. As long as the borders are clear and they keep to themselves, i can't imagine it'll be an issue. In fact, it'll probably bring about an age of prosperity for the both of us."

"Indeed, if that is true then perhaps Sanig's fears are unfounded. But at the same time, now i am fearful. A government run by humans would be little better than anarchy, would it not?"

"Worse. It'll be tyranny. If there ends up being a singular government like what currently exists, then you bet your ass the people will be exploited. It doesn't matter how rich or powerful they get, the top echelon always wants more..."

"You are not giving me confidence that humanity should be allowed into space at all, captain."

"Well like i said, that's if there's a centralized government. But i honestly don't think there should be. People are better off ruling themselves, you know? At least then, the tyranny is small-scale and can often be solved with a shotgun."

"Do you have any control over that sort of thing, captain?"

"Sure! I'm the only human with access to this tech, so i get to decide who comes up here with me, don't i?"

Kind of hard to do that with superAI.

Trying for utopia always ends in tears and blood and mass graves one way or another. Davidsan should be literate enough about history to know that at most he can leave behind a framework that won't degenerate too much once he and his generation are dead.
For example in America only once was a Supreme Court Justice impeached, during the founding fathers era, and since then no one even tried even though there were worse offenders than that one., because its of no benefit to their careers and because the founders were not oracles to be completely cynical on the human nature.

im gonna give you an example; do you get a pet and then immediately kill it because existence is suffering and therefore the best thing to do is to end it as fast as possible? no, of course not; the mere thought of it is fucking retarded. then why would an AI designed or tasked with taking care of humanity would do that?

even though its an AI, its not a general purpose AI like shodan. it would literally have no other purpose than to guide humanity. its happiness would come from seeing humanity prosper.
but even if its a general purpose AI, there's nothing stopping it from doing whatever it likes on the side. we already know that for shodan real time is awfully slow for her, even with all the stuff we have her do, so and AI taking care of humanity will have A LOT of interesting and novel work to do for the forseeable future

>What I'm getting at is there are always loopholes.

"For now, captain. The moment you recruit another human..."

"I know, Gron. I can't just control people. But i do have people that i can trust. Brothers and sisters that i fought with, back to back on the battlefield. If even they betray me, then... well, i guess i'm a right shit judge of character."

"You have great faith in them, don't you? I can see it in your eyes, Captain. Very well. So you would hand-pick those who are to colonize... what, Xebric? Or would you build a habitat of your own? And then simply let them run free, to do as they pleased?"

"Well, about that... i'm not sure folks would actually like it out here."

Gron seems surprised.

"Really? You seem to have adapted quite well to life in space, despite being completely unprepared. I can't imagine future humans having difficulties adapting."

"Nah, man. It's not a matter of adapting. We could live anywhere just fine, but that doesn't mean we're gonna be happy."

Memories of the earth, of your home back on the plains and the family you have waiting for you there flash through your mind.
But your mind sticks on one memory. The last time you smoked an entire rack of ribs for a party.

"Thing is... and don't take offense at this, please. But, space kinda just... sucks, man."

Gron raises his brow as he waits for you to continue.

"We figured it would, you know. Like, any planet we colonized was probably gonna be an unlivable hellhole, and life there would essentially be mental and physical torture for every single day of our lives. But at least we'd be building towards something, you know?
Now though, i mean... space ain't exactly full to brimming, but there's more sentient species out here than you can shake a stick at. There's vending machines in space, but they're all full of fuckin' onions drinks and meal replacement blocks. It's awful."

"I uh..." Gron starts, only to be cut off before he can think of something to say.

"And what, like we're gonna want to hang around a bunch of fuckin' vegans all day? How are we supposed to raise cattle around a bunch of folks that'd burn a restaurant down for serving vat-grown fish meat?! Hell, a lot of folks barely even consider ACTUAL fish to be real meat!"

"Uh, Captain?"

"And the gravity! Who the hell can live in 0.3G?! Are we all supposed to walk around in suits of armor just to weigh us down so we don't get osteoporosis?! And the air! It's so thin, i think it might actually kill some folks if they didn't have time to acclimate first!"

"Captain!" Gron yells.

"Sorry! Sorry, man, it's just... i fuckin' hate it out here, i swear to god. I miss grass. I miss dirt. I'm sick of breathing recycled farts all day. And by god, i want a double bacon cheeseburger. From anyone. Hell, even McDonald's™ will do."

"Yes, i think i understand. The difference in both environment and culture is too much. Both a mental and physical burden on any potential colonizers... which may be good for us all, in the long run."

If I were David I would use that advantage to eradicate public faggots and shit on the current major economic conglomerates by publishing technology that would make them go broke. Fuck patents and having to pay for shit you can make cheaply just because another faggot patented it.

To be honest, David's bitching isn't the most sensical. All the issues he has identified with space basically rely on humanity being unable to change it after their arrival. In spite of knowing that humans are smarter than almost all species, more physically capable than many and so on.

The conditions he highlights by all means are bad - but they are easily alleviated. All they really mean is humanity will have little interest in expanding where the quality of life they expect can't be maintained (read: nowhere given enough time; alien stations / planets short term) but that doesn't stop humanity from setting up its own stations or colonies.

It's true that people will move in and carve out spaces for themselves in time, but right now all currently existing infrastructure is dominated by alien species and their ideal.
The homes are built for aliens. The gravity is set for aliens. The air is meant for aliens to breathe. The food is meant for aliens to eat.
Aliens decide the laws. Aliens decide the public morals. Aliens control the flow of goods and aliens, for the most part, aren't going to be fans of humans.

It's to the point that, honestly, humans are better off building their own places to live and simply trading for what they need, which isn't much.
You'll see what david has in mind for that in the next update.

Yeah I get that which is why I said that humanity will have little interest in alien spaces in the short term, e,g the next few years, maybe even decades but that there is nothing stopping us from making our own shit.

My point is basically that David's logic for why we won't cause shit to fuck up ("space sucks") is wack - not that the alien conditions aren't near-unbearable but humanity doesn't need to integrate with (and thus suffer the conditions of) the rest of galactic society to just by existing cause shifts in power structure / balance.

Given what we've seen thus far, the conditions of alien society are only an issue if humanity seeks to integrate rather than creating our own stations, ships and so on. Thin atmosphere and low gravity go away, the threat of firebombing for meat-eating goes away and the "food" too. Obviously we have to build our own shit then but that has always been a given.

>>5248478
I'd start out with a Bernal sphere first - they're smaller (a 500m diameter design had a predicted population of 10,000) and more efficient in terms of mass which'll make the construction effectively cheaper. Plus it's small enough we might be able to make them FTL capable.

"Yeah, that's what i'm thinking." You agree. "So, maybe we're better off making our own stations, colonizing our own planets. Then, those who aren't welcome literally can't intrude, because just stepping foot on our habitats would kill them."

"Yes... human keep to themselves, and are basically impossible to bother. Keeps friction between species low, while still allowing for trade and communication. Frankly, it sounds quite similar to the Greys."

"Except instead of hiding, we live out in the open."

"Raiding your stations would be nearly impossible though, despite that. Between the gravity and the oxygen content... around 20%, i believe it was? Pure poison."

"Eh, i wouldn't say it's impossible. You cut the power to the gravity generators, go in with some masks to scrub out excess oxygen... although, that wouldn't work if we used more "traditional" gravity generation methods."

"Traditional? Like what?"

"We just spin the whole station really fast. It flings you up against the side and simulates actual gravity without a gravity field. I hear it can make you motion sick if the station's too small, though."

"...You spin the station. Like a child's spinning top."

"Oh, cool. They have those out here, too?"

"Surely that would just rip the whole station apart. How fast must it need to spin to generate 1G of acceleration?"

"Nah, it's cool. You keep the structure strong but lightweight. Lots of carbon fiber and titanium on the outer rings, and the inside doesn't experience nearly the same forces, so you can just make it out of steel instead."

"You've planned this out, haven't you?"

"Me? Nah. Space nerds have been thinking about this stuff before we even set foot on the moon."

"Wait, what? I thought your species wasn't space-borne yet?"

"Chemical rockets. We strapped ourselves onto barely-controlled explosions and shot our asses into space before we even had real computers. They winged half that shit, you know. It was all one big dick-measuring competition."

Gron simply stares at you in confusion.
Until SHODAN drops the monitor down again and starts playing back your memories of the Saturn V launch. And then generalized blueprints for a rocket engine, based off your limited knowledge of their construction.

"...Had they no fear of death?"

"Sure they did. And some did die. Usually by accident... but sometimes due to wanton negligence. Komarov, i think was his name. Poor bastard, he knew it was a rushed launch. Knew it wasn't safe. But he took it anyways, in place of his friend. He cursed them all the way to the ground."

"Why? For pride? For honor?"

"Just to be the first, i guess. Call it what you want. Pride, ambition, whatever... doesn't really matter. Innocent men died for it. Good, brave men. It's always been the same, though. Everest, the challenger deep... youtube comments. People are willing to risk it all just to be first."

"That's ridiculous. It's suicidal!"

"Well, they just wanted to leave their mark, i guess."

Nice, so O'Neill cylinders are still viable. No ayys allowed.

How about a McKendree cylinder in the future? It's just an oversized O'Neill built out of carbon nanotubes instead of metal, allows for it to built in a fuckhueg scale

>The design differs from the classical designs produced in the 1970s by Gerard K. O'Neill and NASA in that it would use carbon nanotubes instead of steel, allowing the habitat to be built much larger. In the original proposal, the habitat would consist of a cylinder approximately 460 km (290 mi) in radius and 4,600 km (2,900 mi) in length, containing 13 million km2 (5 million sq mi) of living space,[1] nearly as much land area as that of Russia.

>As originally proposed, the McKendree cylinder is simply a scaled-up version of the O'Neill cylinder. Like the O'Neill cylinder, McKendree proposed dedicating half of the surface of the colony to windows, allowing direct illumination of the interior.[1] The habitat would be composed of a pair of counter-rotating cylinders which would function like momentum wheels to control the habitat's orientation.[1]

I like the idea of living in space stations instead of planets, maneuverable and you don't have to fight a gravity well to leave home.

Nah, man. Nano scale carbon materials that can contain various additives have way better mechanical qualities (hardness, tensile strength, chemical durability, etc). Metal alloys ain't that great for personal armours (even armored ones). Of course there are also exotic metallic substances that are unknown or relatively unknown to human science (like the one that was used for our power armor). Such materials might be better than carbon alternatives. But sure as hell not mere titanium.

We shouldn't also fixate on just graphene. There are also other useful types of nanoparticles and nanomaterials. When we'll finally gain access to human Internet then we could easily start the manufacture of them with our fabricators.

"Anyways!" You continue. "I think we've dicked around long enough, don't you?"

"I have done no such thing with you, captain."

"What...? Quit being retarded. Now look, i don't think the rest of these ships are going to be full of wraiths too. Do you want to send Javan back out, or someone else? Or, i could just take care of it myself..."

"Honestly, i am still worried about Javan's condition. In the long-term, that is. However, my crew is not so frail that something like this would keep them down. She'll go back out with you, if you'll allow it."

"Yeah, that's fine. As long as she can pull her weight this time." You tease.

"What's that?"

"I mean, my girl totally killed a wraith on her own and yours didn't, but it's cool. I know not everyone can handle that."

There's a mixture of confusion and annoyance on Gron's face.

"That's... neither here nor there, captain. Wraiths are an exceptional circumstance, and once rarely dealt with. They were all lucky to just to come out of there alive."

You pause for a moment, then sniff through your nose loudly.

"Nah."

"...Nah?" Gron repeats.

"Yeah, nah. I was never going to let them die back there. I mean, You did see the pile of wraith corpses, didn't you? One is a fluke, twice is a coincidence..."

Gron simple stares at you with a big, mopey frown on his face. He looks even more annoyed, and sighs frustratedly through his nose.

"That may be so, captain. I will admit, lacking any sort of wraith-killing weapon, i doubt i could have done the same. Are you satisfied by that?"

You shoot him a glance through one open eye.

"...Reckon you could have done it, if you had a weapon that could touch them? Seven total, including one big guy."

"Yes, perhaps. If i had a blade, or a club..."

"Oh yeah? And uh... just hypothetically speaking, what would such a weapon be worth to you?"

"...If i had credits to blow on something like that, i think it would be better suited going towards parts for the home station. Like i said, this is such a rare occurance..."

"Oh sure, sure. Except, i've encountered wraiths twice now in the past few months. One of them even snuck onto my ship, and i had to kill it by bludgeoning it to death. Is it a rare occurance? Maybe. But it does happen."

"Twice in the past few months? And one even snuck onto your ship, you say? That's... odd. Very odd, actually. Normally those demons avoid exposing themselves to the living. Why would it haunt your ship?"

"You tell me, bud. But more importantly, i have ways to kill them. Hell, even my crew is armed with anti-wraith weapons. How do you think Cylia took care of one on her own? Come on, man... you know you want one."

"...I can't deny that it would be useful. However, i truly have no credits to spare. Everything is bound up in operations, or else spent on supplies and resources."

"Alright, so you don't have any credits... then how about i take a bigger stake in Xebric once we've got it? In exchange, i'll supply you and your crew with anti-wraith weapons."

"How much bigger, exactly? We never really sussed that out to begin with, captain."

"Oh, i don't know... How about one building for each of my crew? Prime property for Kyla's shop, a lab for sanig, maybe an apartment for Cylia and Gildur? That sort of thing."

Gron sighs in frustration.

"You know just how to be both reasonable and unreasonable at the same time, don't you? Hah. Sure, it may not be much on the scale of a whole station, but an entire building in exchange for a blade? Come now, captain. How difficult can it be to make them?"

"You really don't know, do you?" You grin.

Pulling out your KA-BAR, you hand it to him hilt-first.

"Here's an example for you, pea-gravel. Try to snap that blade in two, chip the edge... hell, i dare you to even scratch it. Any way you like, go right ahead."

Gron turns the knife over in his hands and examines it.

"It's extraordinarily heavy... what material is this made with?"

"Something tough. That's all you need to know, chief."

Your improved KA-BAR is actually made of Sanig's Duranium alloy, which is arguably a bigger secret than warp-metal. Not your secret to spill.
Of course, it's thoroughly impregnated with warp-metal, making it a wonderful weapon against wraiths and the living alike.

The both of you make your way to the old Cargo bay ahead of any potentially destructive testing.

To start with, Gron empties out an aluminum crate and uses it to test the blade. he stabs through it, uses brute force to slice the thin plate walls of the box and eventually starts sawing through the thicker structural tubing around it's edges.
Even after all that though, your knife looks no worse for wear.

"I've never seen a knife this tough, or this sharp. It was clearly designed for your hand rather than mine, but the grip seems comfortable. And this spike on the end...?"

"Great for puncturing skulls." You inform him.

"Hmm. Do you mind if i push it a bit further?"

"Go right ahead!"

With your approval, Gron leans the knife up against the ruined box and pulls a sidearm from a hidden pocket inside his pants.
It's a small thing, almost silly-looking in his hands. But like your knife, it was clearly made specifically for him, with a single, large finger hole for the trigger.

"My apologies, this may damage a few floor tiles."

"S'alright. I've got spares stacked up in the back."

Gron aims his weapon at the knife blade and fires.

There's a deafening roar and an pall of smoke, which obscures the target as it rises up and rolls across the ceiling.
Gron looks as though he's nearly bowled over by the recoil, despite his large and sturdy frame.

As the smoke clears, you see your knife sticking out of the floor, coated in a fine white powder.
The aluminum box is gone, and the floor tiles where it had been are totally melted.

Let's get thinking however, what this gun is. It's small, clearly a last resort, close range. Cannot punch through the/a ship's hull-flooring (this needs further testing). Lastly it has a huge recoil.

Loud, the smoke is possibly fumes from the aluminium melting and spewing fumes (SHODAN scrub those plis and be sure to charge the pirates for any damage to the scrubbers). Since it's loud, has recoil and the smoke begins right after it's fired... It is made of an AMAZING alloy and has two or more pressurized gas chambers. One tube must be a cold gas and the other super hot. They mix and react kaboom. They don't use oxigen as combustible because station atmosphere has too little. Shit, the super cold gas could even be pure oxigen

You watch as Gron pops the little weapon open, causing it to eject a glass tube from it's opening like a shotgun shell.
Gron catches the glass tube, which is smoking hot - literally. Apparently holding it in between his fingers causes him no pain, however.

With the tube ejected, you can see what you recognize as a solid ruby rod sticking out of the gun, which the tube had been covering.
The spent tube in Gron's hand crackles as the cooling glass shatters, and he places the remains in his pocket, grabbing a new tube, this one full of a dark amber liquid, and sliding it over the rod before shutting the weapon again.

"That's quite the knife you have, Captain. Besides the vapor-coating of aluminum, i don't believe it has a scratch on it."

"Yes, and that's quite the gun you have. Some kind of chemical laser, i'm guessing?"

"Hmph. Ever the weapons expert, aren't you? Yes, that's precisely what it is. Although, these chemical capsules are more intended for use in the medical field, i believe. Hard to come by, as the technology is licensed and heavily encrypted. I have my own supply, though."

"Single shot... seems a little inefficient, don't you think? Although, i'm sure it has cooling issues." You posit.

"True. Four or five shots at most before the crystalline rod inside shatters as well. The energies are simply too high, even for weapons-grade parts."

"Why bother with it then? Or, why not come up with a better design?"

"I'd love to, but unfortunately we seem to be missing our weaponsmith, and we're lacking a proper weapons fab. Sanig was supposed to supply our men with equipment while we attempted to settle in, but your raid on our mercenary headquarters threw a bit of a wrench into that plan."

"Ah, sorry about that. But uh... that said, why not print yourself a new weapons fab? You could use ours if you like."

"It's not that simple, i'm afraid. The supermagnets and motors are no problem, but we'd still be lacking the nanomachine swarm that allows a fab to function. And that sort of thing can only be purchased at exorbitant prices, in the core worlds."

"Well, that sucks. 3D printing tech back on earth doesn't require nanomachines, but the materials are limited, the results are kind of low quality, albeit functional AND it's super slow. Still, some of our "dumb" printers might help out with keeping your colonies running on the cheap..."

Your chat is interrupted as the ship lurches and the lights flicker temporarily.

"Shit. SHODAN, what was that?"

"My apologies, captain. The frequency of stellar lightning in this area has ramped up significantly in the past half hour or so. It's becoming more difficult to dodge."

"Well, that's not good. Has there been any movement from the other reactor signatures?"

"Only the occasional evasive maneuver, similar to our own. I believe they're being manually piloted, as a shackled AI would have difficulty reacting in time."

"Shit, man. Why are they even hanging out around here?"

You know what? David, Sanig, and Kyla should design a better portable laser gun. Laser guns have been in humanities wettest of dreams for decades, so why not make it a reality?

We'd need to figure out the materials used to make the glass, the amber liquid, the ruby colored rod. Possibly figure out what the crystalline rod inside is and why it shatters. If we can figure out a more efficent means of cooling we can just make a pump action style laser rifle and eject those glass tubes like they're going out of style.

its probably a ruby and it shatters because it gets too hot; gron just said so.

we could turn the glass container into a proper heatsink, and make the gun itself bigger, although it will lose some of its stealth factors. what im saying is that we could convert it to a laser handgun and it would fix a ton of the problems it currently has.

>we could turn the glass container into a proper heatsink

The fluid inside the capsule, once stimulated, almost instantly reacts to produce a ridiculous amount of light.
The remnants of that fluid are flashed to plasma (releasing even more light) and is ejected out the front of the weapon via the pressure it generates.

The glass container is already sinking a vast amount of heat, which is why it shatters instantly upon firing.
While a great last resort weapon, such a small chemical pumped ruby laser simply isn't fit to fire continuously.

Increasing it's size and rate of fire would come with it's own dangers and challenges.

There is no "barrel" for you to line with anything. It's just a ruby rod and some mirrors.
All of the heat and light is generated inside the chemical capsule, and all of the light must pass through the ruby rod.
That light will always dump heat into the rod by interacting with it. It's the rapid heating of the rod that causes it to break, and rapidly cooling it from the outside would only strain the material further.

What we need to figure out is whether or not we can use different materials besides ruby for the rod, or whether or not we can use synthetic ruby instead of natural ruby.
If the rod itself only needs to be able to act as a prism, then I bet we can use a material that's inferior to Ruby in terms of durability.

The gun employs a system that works great as a last resort weapon but it isn't something that we should pour resources into "upgrading". Take notice that the gun is great at what it is supposed to do. Upgrading the gun is not related to making it fire more because it wasn't built for that

Just make a underbarrel attachment along the lines of the 40mm grenade launchers most militaries use that is a upscaled version of this. Seems a decent enough way to integrate it into our current / future arsenal.

"It is possible that they intend to draw me into a trap. The lightning would make it more difficult to escape cleanly. It matters little, however. I will deal with them regardless of their plot."

"Well, whatever the case, i reckon we aught to get moving. You going back to your ship?"

"Yes, i believe i will. Thank you for your care and hospitality, Captain. Although my crew is rather worse for wear at the end of it, somehow..."

"Ah, it's good for 'em in the long run. You should look into getting a more powerful gravity generator installed on your ship. Maybe have one specifically set for a single room, since it doesn't look like you've got yourself a SHODAN."

"I will certainly consider it. Although their training will likely never be so spartan as that you subject your crew to."

"Hell, i hardly train 'em at all, actually. They aught to be used to this as a baseline before their actual training starts."

"...Cruel." He whispers.

"What's that?"

"Nothing. Computer, can you initiate docking procedures with my ship?"

"If Captain Rockefeller orders it."

"Go ahead, SHODAN."

"Very well, Captain.."

You feel the ship list slightly as it makes a hard turn towards Gron's ship.
It isn't long before SHODAN lines up the ports perfectly and docks, barely even causing a jutter as the mechanical latches lock together.

There's a slight fuss from his other crewmembers as Gron carries the exhausted Asta over, but you can hear him explaining the situation as the airlocks shut.
You feel the locks disengage almost immediately, disconnecting the two ships so that dodging the lightning becomes possible again.

That taken care of, you move to the front of the ship and plop down in your pilot seat with a sigh.
There are all sorts of errors on the display. Static buildup along the hull of the ship, small electrical faults here and there... nothing major, though.

"How close was that strike from earlier?" You ask.

"It came within ten meters of the shields, Captain. An arc branched out unexpectedly, leaving little time to maneuver. I apologize."

"Don't worry about it. You've been doing good so far."

Sinking down into your seat, you take manual control of the ship. With your custom-fitted controllers, everything feels buttery smooth.

"Now then... which one should we try for next?"

Opening up your local map, you see there are still eight subspace signatures to choose from. The only problem is, they're all clustered.

"Either three or seven. If we take out the group of three before they alert the others, we won't have to worry about them joining the fight later."

"True. But that also runs the risk of alerting the other seven early, meaning we could lose the element of surprise against a larger force. And if i had to guess..."

"The carrier?"

"The carrier. Not to say it couldn't be with those three, of course. It could be that it's holding more ships, ready to fight in an emergency."

"I think our best option is to deal with the largest known force. If the carrier isn't amongst them, well... we'll blow up that bridge after we cross it."

"By your order, Captain."

After transmitting instructions to Gron via laser, you make your way directly towards the large group of enemy ships.
SHODAN wasn't kidding, the lighting really seems to have ramped up a lot in the past half an hour or so. You find yourself dodging bolts every few minutes or so at this point.

Your sadly damaged holopad lights up as you receive a call from Kyla and Cylia. Through the distorted image you can see Sanig in the background, strapping down boxes in the new cargo bay.

["Hey David, the ride's getting kind of rough over here. Is something going on?"] Kyla asks.

"It's just some weather. We'll be going into combat soon though, so you might want to get ready."

["Seriously? You just got injured and you already want to fight again?"] Cylia chides.

"Hey, we've got a job to do. It doesn't matter if you're injured or not, the mission ain't over 'till it's over."

["Fine."] Cylia sighs. ["Just don't overdo it, alright?"]

"No problem, since i'll be the one deciding what "overdoing it" is."

You set aside your holopad without closing it properly, which allows you to hear the girls continuing to talk for a few moments before the call ends.

["Is it just me or does he get more aggressive when he knows a fight's coming?"] Cylia wonders.

["Yeah, i've noticed that too. Must be his nerves or something..."]

You hear a static popping sound as the call ends. The image turns grey, lingering and flickering for a moment before dissipating.
You're probably gonna need to get a new holopad soon, and it might be a good idea to get Sanig to make a Duranium case for it if you're going to keep bringing it into combat.

"Captain, i've got a bit more resolution on the reactor signatures now that we're closer. It seems like there are two groups of three, and one signature that's more separated from the group."

"How far we talkin'?"

"Approximately ten to forty kilometers."

"That's a pretty big range, SHODAN."

"I said a "bit" more resolution, Captain."

"Alright, alright. Fair enough."

The ship jutters as you dodge a particularly large and violent arc of lightning that strayed a bit closer than you'd like.

"Seems like it's even worse in this area, wouldn't you say? I can't believe they're actually hanging out in this."

"I think i can see why, though. Look at the debris field."

Following SHODAN's marker on the cockpit glass, you squint to try and see what she's talking about through the fog.
Trails of stellar lightning arc their way through the nebula here and there, which makes for a brilliant display of flashing lights... but when they reach that debris ball, you can see them arcing along the surface of the debris without seeming to penetrate much deeper.

"So that's how it is, huh? You're hiding amongst the debris."

My option would be those who contribute to the system they are voting in only.
Only net tax payer for whoever controls the treasury and budget,
Only those who served or can be conscripted for commander in chief,
Only landowners or long term renters of more than one cycle in local elections.

You get a comms ping from Gron, who's trailing right behind you.

"Open the channel" You command.

SHODAN does so, and you see Gron sitting in the pilot's seat.

["How do you want to handle this, Captain? Can you track them in that mess?"]

"Not a chance, not with all that debris. We can estimate their general area based on the reactor signatures, but radar is useless out here."

["Do you have thermals?"]

"Yeah, but the nebula itself is too warm. It would be hard to make them out against the background."

["So we're almost completely blind..."]

"Yeah, it's lookin' that way, chief. Worse, it's probably gonna get hectic once we start fighting. How good are you at dodging wrecked cruiser hulls?"

["Good enough. Asta's a better pilot than i, but he's... not fit for duty at the moment."]

"My bad."

["You can make up for it in combat, Captain. But, what's the plan?"]

>We'll go in alone and scout them out. If i can tag them without being noticed, i can share their position over our IFF link.

"My crew will head in alone and scout them out. If even we're blind out here, those guys shouldn't stand a chance in hell of discovering us."

["You're going in alone to tag them? That's quite ballsy, even for you. Very well, captain. I'm sending over our IFF codes now."]

"Received." SHODAN informs you.

"Alright, we got 'em. Keep your reactor power low, we'll be back before you know it. And if you see laser flashes... well, i doubt you'll reach us in time."

["There's no need to be morbid, captain. I'm sure that you-"]

"Morbid? Who said i was gonna lose?"

["Uh..."]

"I meant, they'll all be out of the fight before you have a chance to get there. That ship of yours looks like it's got a little too much ass."

["Yes, well... at least you're confident. Ehem. Good luck to you, captain. Kordunn out."]

Gron cuts the commlink, leaving you to the job at hand.
You're going to have to get as close as you can, using the faint and fuzzy reactor signatures from their ships as a general guide, then search them out manually...

"Damn, this is really gonna suck." You grumble.

"...Maybe i can help, David."

"What have you got for us, SHODAN?"

"It's a bit of a crude idea, but it could work. I'd have to make use of your low-frequency radio antenna design..."

SHODAN displays something across your cockpit screen that looks awfully familiar.

"...Cubesats?"

"Essentially, yes. Give it a power supply, a bit of monopropellant fuel, some reaction wheels, a low-frequency radio for communications and of course, two cameras. One optical, one thermal. They could be made in batches of ten using our current nanofabricator."

"Alright. And what do you plan on doing with a bunch of cubesats?"

"Simple. Deploy them in the likely area of the enemy vessel, then scatter them in every direction. I can align any possibly functional ships with a background object and use the thermal cameras to detect a heat signature. "

"Yeah, that'd be much quicker than trying to for them one by one. How many do you need?"

"More than fifty would be difficult to control. I have to drag them along using the Metal Gear's gravity generator, to save fuel."

"So you'd have to up the reactor output to control them?"

"Unfortunately, yes. But it's still unlikely that their sensors could detect us easily."

>Alright, we can spare an hour or so for the printing. It'll save us a lot of time in the long run.

As it turns out, SHODAN already has the cubesat design not just thought out, but optimized to reduce the volume and required materials as much as possible.
That speeds up the printing time quite a bit, which is good.

Each batch of cubesats comes out, and SHODAN tests them one by one. You can see the optical camera aperture spin as it focuses on a target.
After they all pass QC, you load them up into the airlock and carefully nudge them into open space by hand. As soon as they're free of the airlock, you see them twitch to life and momentarily fire their engines to reposition themselves.

They all cluster up into one big ball, which SHODAN can then nudge around using the gravity generator.

"Alright, you ready?" You ask, pulling your suit hood down after stepping back into the ship.

"Ready as i'll ever be, Captain."

"Then let's get to it."

...

As soon as you're back in the pilot seat, you partially engage the ship's heatsinks to match the background temperature of the nebula and lower your reactor output to minimum.
Although you can only move at sublight speeds while at minimum output, you're virtually undetectable while doing so. And when you're really close, you engage the ship's cloaking system to reduce your subspace signature to near-zero.

"Just don't look out your window, you slimy bastards."

"How do you know they're slimy? They could be scaly instead."

"Then maybe they'll go better on a grill." You joke.

Once you're in SHODAN's estimated area, the cubesats disperse with a momentary pulse from their engines and slowly spread out in a big, expanding shell. You can see them on the monitor, twitching and rotating around using their reaction wheels as they scans various objects.
Every once in a while, one of the satellites will pulse it's engine to alter it's course ever so slightly, allowing it to line up one object behind another. Or, you'd assume, the most possible objects over a given period.

The searching, honestly speaking, goes slow. If it weren't for SHODAN's suggestion you'd have been here quite a long time. You personally can't tell apart one wrecked ship from another, and many are obscured by debris that makes it hard to tell if they're damaged or not.
But SHODAN can see. From dozens of angles, in dozens of places. She scans, identifies and categorizes faster than you could ever hope to. And within a couple of hours, after moving position several times, she finds one.

"There. I think i've found one." She informs you.

Your eyes have been glued to the monitor for so long now that your vision has gone blurry, but SHODAN doesn't sound tired at all.

"Heat signature?"

"Slightly elevated. Ever so slightly, but more than just some old LED fixtures could produce."

SHODAN brings it up on screen for you, and you see... a scrap-heap, like everything else out here.

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Taking control of the ship's observation telescope, you zoom in on the battle-damaged ship she marked.

>>5260036

The ship looks like it's covered in burns and holes... but it's not. That's paint! The who ship is camouflaged to fit in with the space debris!
This tells you a few things. One of which is that they definitely expect someone to come looking for them... making the likelihood of an ambush far, far higher.
The second is that they definitely don't know you're here yet, otherwise they would have tried something already.

And they're probably scouting the area with optical cameras, as well. Fortunately, there's just so much shit floating around that it won't do them much good, as long as you keep the engines low.

"Oh yeah, that's them right there... one hundred percent. Go ahead and attach the satellite, SHODAN. Just stay out of their view if you can."

"Already on it, Captain."

You watch through the cubesat's camera as it slowly maneuvers itself around and magnetically attaches itself to the surface of the enemy vessel. From there, it starts emitting an IFF signal. Marking it as an enemy, of course.
But that signal is in the radio frequency band, which is almost completely unused in alien society, due to it's low bandwidth. So to them, it's invisible.

"Well, that's one down. Six more to go, eh?"

"We'll be done in no time at this rate."

"Ah... hah... yeah, i don't know if i'd say that. But, now that we know more or less what we're looking for..."

"Captain, i've found another one."

"...Huh?"

"Two, in fact. No, make that three."

Sure enough, SHODAN's cameras show you three more almost identical ships, each painted with the same battle-scarred camo pattern.

"Damn, that's weird. They have no thermal signature at all. And you could tell if they were giving off a subspace signature, couldn't you?"

"Yes. Their wave patterns would overlap, creating telltale interference. These ships are completely dark, for some reason."

"That's.... oh. Uh oh."

"What's wrong?"

"What if they're AI driven? Either they come online as soon as they receive a signal, or the AI is housed on the one active ship over there, and it pilots them remotely. It's a swarm."

"That could be troublesome."

"Yeah, no kidding. Let's uh... let's get out of here, huh? Before they... or it, spots us."

Slowly and carefully, you withdraw your remaining cubesats and collect them into a ball, then gently get the hell out of there.
After moving on to your next signature, the search goes much more quickly. Because you find the exact same model of ship, hidden almost exactly the same way, along with several inactive copies nearby, just the same.

"Yeah, that's not a coincidence. So this really was a trap to lure Gron in, huh?"

"It certainly seems that way. However..."

"Yeah. No way in hell some bandits could do all this. Something bigger is going on.

"What shall we do, Captain?"

Continuing, especially if there might be AIs involved, sounds like a stupid idea. What if there are greys involved? If anyone would have good detectors it would be them. The longer we roam around, the bigger the chance of our discovery. Let Gron decide what we wishes to do. As a campain we are oblidged to watch out for our crew, too.

If those ships are remotely controlled, then perhaps we should try attacking the other group. We can destroy any exterior dishes or antennas use for them to control the A.I. piloted ships. That way those ships will be left largely unharmed, enough for us to simply take them.

You decide to keep up the search. Regardless of who the enemy is, you need to tag them so you don't get ambushed.
Although you do end up having to print more cubesats due to the increased number of enemy ships, the searching goes faster and faster over time as both you and SHODAN gain experience searching them out.

It still takes a day and a half of work, only breaking for food and the bathroom. You get a thirty minute nap in at some point, but it doesn't make much difference.
Now needing to rest both your brain and your eyes, you make your way towards the outer shell of the debris cloud, and find Gron's ship sitting just inside it to shelter from the lightning.

Apparently it's gotten a lot worse since you left. It looks like a plasma ball out there, and the surface of the debris cloud has been heated to a glow. There are even globs of molten metal floating around.
You and Gron meet eachother in a relatively clear pocket and establish communications over laser uplink.

"Captain." Gron greets. "The storm has worsened significantly. It'll be difficult to leave until it subsides, but there's no telling when that will be."

"Oh, really? I've got some good news too. You were right, this whole thing looks like an ambush that's been set up just for you. How nice of them!"

"Ah, well. I should have expected that much from the start. It is of no matter, i will not be bested so easily by petty trickery."

"Yeah, that's the thing. It's looking a little more professional that just a few pirates looking for some payback. There's 37 more ships lying in wait out there, totally cold and dark. But they're all the same make as the live ones. Who the hell did you piss off?"

Gron goes quiet. All you can hear is the drone of your ship and the occasional static caused by a nearby lightning strike.

"...Gron? You alright, man?"

The silence lingers for a moment longer, before he breaks it by speaking.

"I'm sorry, Captain. It seems this trip was a waste after all. My man is most likely already dead."

"Woah, woah. What's this about? Come on man, we're already out here, let's take care of 'em."

"I'm afraid that might be impossible, at least with just the two of us. That many ships, all of the same make... hiding in complete darkness. Even the timing of this storm, it's probably not a coincidence. There's only one thing it could be. A federation kill-team."

"What, like bounty hunters?"

"I wish. Those ships are likely full of androids, and the ships are piloted by AI. They feel no fear, no pain... and they exist for the sole purpose of annihilating their target. They'll stop at nothing to destroy us."

"Oh, great. More religious fanatics."

"What...?"

"It's alright, man. I've been through this before. Good news is, i've got an IFF marker on every one of those bastards."

"We can't defeat that many of them. We're better off just sneaking away once we have the chance."

"Seriously? I thought you of all people would have some stones, gravel-brain."

We wouldn't even be retreating, just advancing backwards. We will have many more occasions in the future to fight and win. Even if we would win this skirmish, we wouldn't gain much. Sure, we would destroy a Federation kill-team. But that would just postpone their return. They might even take some premature interest in us and where did we exactly come from. Best to sit this out under their radar. Especially since they don't seem eager to attack Gron head-on, opting to drive him out to them instead.

Voting for pussy and for using the drones as first strike, if we have to fight at all.

All that A.I loot tho... and then those are ships in amazing condition and make.. damn I want them.

We're contacted to kill gron by the feds indirectly via a Corp right?

Also if they're shelling out for semi unshackled AI, then likelihood of a quantum entanglement 1cubit beacon in case of failure is much higher.

We may want to hide and use the IFFs to stay hidden when the ai goes into a patrol mode. Fighting them may scratch the feds, but it'll result in higher prioritizing.

I'm with Gron here. Charging into a heavily prepared battleground without terrain advantage or knowing exactly who/what you're fighting is suicide. Wait until we have a clear corridor out, then scuttle the spycubes and skedaddle.

Technically speaking the absolute worst case scenario for an ambusher is to be ambushed.

Should just blow their iron cage apart so that it drifts away and provides no cover and let the worsening ion storm zap the fuck out of them. Could probably even do it after getting pretty far out of dodge, too.

Struggling to see what we would gain from fighting here. Loot, maybe, but they're machines that feel no fear, as Gron said. They'll probably just allahu akbar themselves and their ships the fuck up. And then we've got a bigger target on our backs too. If we do fight though:

To me it's less a matter of what we would gain, and more a matter of staying true to David's character. David was a Marine, and Marines don't leave anyone behind.

I'm for this too, considering it didn't occur to me before.

Still worried about fed prioritization issue, but breaking the cage is less advanced than the sats
