Clover and Lydia waited within the security room, staring intently at the door and ready to attack the moment that it opened. They felt the gentle rush that came from breaking the barrier, and heard multiple alerts that doors were being opened at various points in the ship. “Three? No, five of them.” Clover muttered softly, estimating their numbers based on the position of the doors being opened, as well as how long each door remained open. Thanks to this, he was able to map it out in his head. There…-

Clover continued to chase after the first monster, and managed to learn a few things from its performance. First, its primary power was to take control of others and force them to fight it. In order to do this, it needed confirmation of their identity. He confirmed this when he came to a scene of an engineer wielding a large wrench and swinging it at the monster, as opposed to running like everyone else. This engineer, most notably, had a name tag visible on his jacket. Its secondary power allowed it to…

Three weeks after the barrier had been reinforced, they were finally able to open the Hyperlane Network again for normal use. Due to the shift in the barrier’s structure, the previous methods of entering the hyperlane no longer worked properly, and it had taken them this long to create a drive that could be mass produced and refitted to the various ships held at their stations. As for Dana’s promise to Giles, she had sent an emergency dispatch fleet by asking Aurivy for help. Once they established the…

The deadline came and went, and no more volunteers emerged. Rather than the communications becoming more heated as time passed, they seemed to cool, with everyone under the shared assumption that everything was already taken care of. Realizing this, Dana let out a sigh, and shook her head in indignation. Sprigga had already handed over the life core, with the promise that it would be put to good use. Sprigga knew that she could have asked for the original core back, and only use the copies created through…

After we returned back to my Admin Room, Dana immediately went to begin carrying out the instructions that I had given her while we were still at Sarah’s place. Meanwhile, I informed the others what the cost of ‘perfecting’ our Hyperlane Network would be. Once that information was out there, a somber atmosphere filled the room. I let Terra know that I was planning for this to be a sacrifice worthy of being recorded in the Heroic Spirits, and Terra agreed wholeheartedly. After all, the primary…

As the days passed, I became more and more concerned about the continuing silence from Dana. I knew that this would not by any means be an easy task, but I knew that if anyone would be able to rise to the challenge, it would be her. As of now, the only news that I had received from her was a report stating that she was trying to approach the problem from a new direction. I wasn’t quite sure what that meant, but decided to put my faith in her. In the meantime, I continued to talk with Sarah and the…

Dana sat in a lab that she had quickly established in Lorek, typing away at a terminal while chewing on her lip. “If I want a turret defense, I’ll need to have a wide array of damage types, so it could work on different types of monsters. That means an ammunition production plant and a massively large-scale transport operation. If I were to use the Digital Conversion system, the amount of energy that is needed…” She input several calculations, triggering a simulation. Soon, large red text…

“Hey, big boss guy!” I heard a voice calling out to me as I was walking the halls of Olympus, preparing to head out for another training excursion. Turning my head, I saw the Terra twins standing perfectly straight in the hallway, wearing matching light blue dresses. “I swear if you ask me to go play with you…” I said with a twitching eye, the two girls tilting their heads to look at me in confusion. “The girl upstairs said that we needed to tell you something!” The one on the left started,…

When Chelsea and the others learned that there was a sentient creature living within the ki core of the world, they were understandably worried. Such a creature would be able to seriously delay their research progress if it realized what they were doing and had any intentions of interfering. Unfortunately, getting rid of it wasn’t an option. Thus, they could only agree to Scarlet’s warning that they were forbidden from entering such a zone without her in the future. After all, these things would be…

After returning to Olympus, I was able to confirm how useful it was to be able to communicate with other Keepers, even while descended. Being able to communicate with the others certainly made things more active, though there wasn’t much for me to do in my world aside from training. Like that, several more days passed, until I finally received the notice of my next opponent, though the name on the notification surprised me. When I checked the system, it looked like Bellarose was fighting another…
