《Amongst the Stars》Chapter 7

Advertisement

Arriving at the second floor they stepped off the elevator revealing a white hallway. The hallway contained five doors, two on each side and one at the end.

B8 walks towards the door at the end of the hall “Master, I originally thought this floor was just crew quarters, but this door leads to the medical room" arriving at the end of the hall B8 opens the door and looks back at the hobbling Leviathan “Master, this was originally just a crew quarter but this man is of great importance, so the prince used quite a bit of resources to put this equipment here” B8 heads into the room leaving Leviathan in the hallway.

Seeing that B8 has entered the room leviathan looks around the hall for a moment before stepping into the room, as he enters the first thing he notices is a huge glass tank in the corner of the room with a glass base. In the other corner is a hospital looking bed next to some sort of tool cabinet next to the head of the bed. Along the wall next to the tank is a giant barrel with a hose connect to it lying next to the glass tank.

“So what do we do here B8?”

“Master, you just have to get into the tank” raising its free hand he points at the tank.

B8 lays the man down on the bed and walks towards the tank and pushes a button. A faint mist is released from the tank of the glass cylinder begins to retreat into the metal base.

“Master, you have just have to step onto the platform after removing your clothes”

Looking down at his blood soaked clothes he shrugs his shoulder. Removing the strap around his waist he removes the shirt he was using as a bandage. Removing the remainder of his clothes reveals his blue flesh. On his waist is a gastly wound revealing flesh and in some area bone, every step he takes causes bubbles of blood to ooze. Climbing upon the platform with difficulty he plops down breathing heavily.

“So what else did you find out about this place?”

B8 begins to push a series of buttons “Master, the mine houses a total of twenty robots mining the tunnels. Shadow iron is the only metal found currently in the tunnels and mining should be done in around three months” pushing another button causes the glass to begin to raise. grabbing the tube on the floor he plugged it into the tank. “The planet is called Lugo and is barley a tech level one planet, that man is probably one of the stronge-”

“Tech level one?”

“Master the tank will now fill with the liquid, you won't be able to talk so i'll tell you the information I've marked as important” Pushing another button the tank begins to fill with liquid.

“Master, planets seem to be classified by tech levels, this planet barely qualifies as a tech level one because only the royal family is capable of space travel, that man with the laser gun is probably a mercenary hired from a level two planet because of his cybernetics and laser gun. Tech level one planets are barely able to achieve space flight and almost all its people are normal, meaning no cybernetics or psionics. This planet is populated by humans and an innate human psion is probably one out of a million, and even then it might be so pathetic it might not even show signs of abilities” as the tank completely fills with fluid B8 walks towards the cabinet next to the bed. Grabbing a hand tool out of the cabinet with a sharp tim he walks towards the man, using the tool on the man's shoulder area cause sparks to fly as he begins to remove the arm.

Leviathan breathes in the fluid in the tanks allowing it to fill his lungs, he was less hesitant this time after experiencing the game cabin. An itchy feeling begins to wash over his entire body. floating in the liquid he looks at B8 operation on the man. Looking down as his waist he can feel the pain begging to lessen bringing a smile to his face.

“Master, Level one planets are not where the danger lies. If we can get to a Tech level two planet we won't have to worry about Level one planets any longer. Tech level two planets have more cyborgs and psions, maybe one in a thousand. Tech level two planets, obvious by the name has better technology as well, spaceships are not rare and laser weaponry is common, That tank, the laser pistol, and this man are from a level two planet. The last bit of information i could get from the computer is a little info about Tech level three planets. On level three almost everyone is either a cyborg or psion, if we were there now death would be 100% certain.”

Leviathan glances around the room well if i'm stuck in here might as well continue training, Psi

Psi 11/40

Waving his hand he activates his ability.

Psi 0/40

Int +2

Psi 2/42

He waved his hand again activating his ability.

Psi 0/42

Seeing that his Psi is finally empty he closes his eyes, lets the soothing feeling wash over his body, and drifts to sleep.

Glancing back at Leviathan B8 grabs another wrench like tool from the cabinet, after making a few more cuts with the slicing tool it uses the wrench to remove the arm. Carefully pulling the arm off from the shoulder it places it down at the foot of the bed. Putting both tools back into the cabinet it looks at the mans face, Parting his eyelids it begins to insert its fingers into the man's eye socket. Dark red blood begins to ooze out of the socket as it inserts his fingers further, hooking its fingers it begins to pull the eye out slowly. As the eye is lubed with blood it is removed rather easily. After using the man's shirt to wipe off a majority of the blood B8 then sets it next to the arm.

Making sure that Leviathan was still asleep first it then picks the man up and heads towards the lift. Exiting the ship B8 throws the man's body in a corner of the camp. walking over to where Leviathan collapsed he picks up his backpack and laser pistol. Returning back to the medical room it drops off the equipment.

Grabbing a hand torch from the cabinet it walks towards the bed “I think it will be easier to do the eye first” using the hand torch he begins to cut his existing eye out of the socket. After cutting for a few minutes the eye is removed from the socket, picking up the cybernetic eye it places it in the socket. Grabbing a tac gun from the cabinet he mico welds the eye into the socket. the wires in its skull begins to try and integrate with the new left eye.

Waiting for a few moments the vision in its left eye returns. Using the torch B8 begins to remove its right arm. Making a few cuts along the joints the arm eventually falls off exposing the inner wiring of the arm. Picking up the cybernetic right arm B8 holds up up next to its shoulder, the wiring begins to wiggle like its alive and shoots into the arm. Pushing the arm up it holds it flush with its shoulder. using the wire in the arm to hold it in place it grabs the tac gun, welding the arm to its shoulder in key places it waits to see if it can integrate the arm into its body.

As it waits for the arm to integrate B8 heads up to the control room, Leaving Leviathan alone in the medical room.

After an unknown amount of time Leviathan slowly opens his eyes. As he begins to move in the tank it begins to drain. Waiting a moment for the liquid to drain Leviathan stands on the metal base naked. Looking at his body he doesn't even see a scar on his waist and all the pain is gone.

After the glass retreats back into the base he steps of the platform while opening and closing his fingers, causing a smile to appear on his face “Truly great stuff!” looking around the room he notices the abscents of B8.

Looking at his naked body Leviathan decides to check the rooms for clothes, grabbing his Computer, backpack, holster, and gun he exits the room. Oh right, status.

“Wow, B8 is really coming along nicely muhahah! i'll be invincible!” Arriving at the first door he walks inside. the room had six bunk beds closely packs along one wall and lockers on the other end. Walking towards the lockers he opens one up. The inside is filled with military rations, furrowing his brows for a moment he puts some into his bag along with the coins. Moving to the next locker he finds that it too is filled with rations. After checking all the lockers in this room Leviathan moves to another room, entering inside he begins to check the lockers, this time finding bandages and bottles of pills. Stuffing a few bandages into his pack he looks at the pills “Painkillers?” shrugging his shoulders he puts a few bottles into his pack. Moving to the next locker he opens it and a smile forms on his face, the inside of this one has a long white robe, black pants, and white boots. Setting down all his equipment he slaps the computer onto his left arm, taking the pants he slips them on, they are a little long but will work. Pulling the white robes out of the locker he sees that there is a black shirt inside of it, putting on the black shirt he then drapes the hooded robe over him.

The length of the robes drapes down to just above his ankles, the sleeves go just beyond hit fingertips barely revealing his sharp black nails, and the hood completely covers his eyes hiding half his face. Looking at the huge robe “Is this some kinda nightwear? but why are there boots..”

Grabbing the white boots he aligns the soles with his foot should work. After putting the boots on he strapes the holster to his waist and the pack to his back, as the robes hang down it completely hides the gun and pack. With the hood up the only thing giving away his race is his blue jaw.

Flipping his hood down he grabs his bag and exits the room. Walking towards the lift he waves his hand in front of his body while activating his ability till he runes out of psi, with the added effect of the long white sleeve it adds a mystical effect. After a few seconds he finally runs out of psi.

Stopping in his tracks Leviathans eyes go wide “Is this a mutation that AI was talking about?” Scrunching his brows together “No, no that's not it" closing his eyes “This ability is just apart of my Telepathy, I can feel it" slowly opening his eyes “This confirms it, telepathy must be an advanced ability, and maybe that's why it levels my intelligence stat so fast"

Arching his head up “Muhahaha! I will be invincible in this life! No one's mind shall be safe from my power!” *caugh* *caugh* glancing over his shoulder to make sure no one was around he enters the lift, with a broad smile on his face.
