《Amongst the Stars》Chapter 10

Opening his eye slowly a dim light illuminates his surroundings, remembering where he was Leviathan turns towards the gold pillars.
Two of the golden pillars are gone, and the third is covered in a golden cloud with an occasional black streak. Seeing that the third pillar is half gone he walks closer to get a better look.
Approaching the pillar with the light he formally sees that it's not solid gold. A foot of gold acts as the casing and the insides is filed with wiring and computer circuitry. Looking at the swarm of bots Leviathan is reminded of bees swarming a target.
“At this rate it should be a couple more hours right?” as he talks to himself a change occurs to the swarm. An egg sized black ball flies out from the swarm, followed by a bowling ball sized golden swarm.
The golden bots begin to mold around the black ball, slowly turning into a foot and a half tall golden figure.
“Master, you are awake"
Looking at the tiny golden figure Leviathan tilts his head to the side “do you need to concentrate to build the new bots?”
“Master, my ability to process won't be affected, the other bots are basically on autopilot unless something comes up. I noticed that you wanted to explore the entryway so I divided my attention”
Leviathan’s eyes open wide in anticipation “Do you know what's over there?”
“Master, I do not, but we can go….one moment" walking towards the laser gun on the floor B8 extends out its hand, as it does its hand turns into a golden mist that detaches at the wrist and surrounds the gun. The mist floats back towards B8 surrounding the stub, a few seconds later the hand is reformed.
“What are you doing with the gun?”
“Master, I sent the gun near my core region when I can study it better. If i'm able to learn anything I may be able to attach laser beams to my bots, what I know about Nanobots is limited to creation and operation making me feel like I’m missing programs to aid them.”
“B8, are you able to turn into anything?”
“Master, as long as I know the shape"
A smile forms on Leviathan’s face as he turns around and begins to descend the stairs “Lets go B8, I really want to know why my Psi cant penetrate this black entrance.”
Walking down the stairs B8 and Leviathan arrives at the entrance, staring at the black curtin blocking the way B8 steps forward. Walking forward his body comes into contact, as it does the black curtin ripples before cracks appear, causing it to shatter into particles of light.
The light particles flutter in the air momentarily before flying to the four braziers, causing them to ignite. Light fills the room causing momentary blindness to Leviathan.
As his eyes adjust and his vision return Leviathan finally gets a proper look at the room he's spent the last few days in. Looking at the walls he can finally tell this whole room was a perfect cube, the carvings on the wall were so detailed they almost looked alive.

Standing there for a moment he finally turns around to see B8 standing in there looking at him, even though it had no face. Looking past B8 a room half the size of the current one comes into view. The design of the room is simple, in the middle of the room lies a stone tablet, underneath the tablet is a stone chest, and on the other side of the room is a long hallway.
Walking into the room Leviathan and tiny B8 stand in front of the tablet. The tablet is covered in the same ancient writing from the previous room.
Leviathan looks at B8 “What does it say?”
“Master, It says ‘Here lies the tomb of an Emperor. I created this place for my successor, and beyond this room is meant for them. If you are not meant to be my successor in this chest is something for you, in hopes you will spread word so my legacy will continue.’”
Leviathan looks down the tunnel briefly before looking at the chest “So this must be the only other thing here, besides the last room" reaching out to open the chest he hesitates for a moment, glancing at the tiny B8 “Is it safe to open?”
B8 walks towards the chest, placing its hands on the lid. Giving a strong shove the lid falls to the floor revealing a earthly green ring.
Seeing the ring Leviathan arches a brow before picking it up.
Gravity Controller
Durability: 1000/1000
Skill: [Gravity Control]
Blinking a few times he looks at the ring in his hand, looking at the skill gravity control more information appears.
Gravity Control: Due to the material Gravineum, control of gravity in a 20ft radius will fall under control.
Opening his eyes wide he slides the ring onto his pointer finger on his right hand, right next to the thumb ring.
After putting on the ring besides the 100ft radius filled with his Psi, in 20ft around him it's as though he can feel the air moving. Closing his eyes he raises his hand, feeling the flow around him. Concentrating he begins to rotate his hand, causing the pebbles on the ground to tremble. Clenching his fist the pebbles begin to rise.
Opening his hand the pebbles fall back to the ground. Opening his eyes a smile appears on his face “I need to test this out a bit more, but this ability seems really strong"
Looking at the tiny B8 “How much longer for you to finish with the pillars?”
“Master, it will be done in around four hours"
“Good, I’m ready to leave this hole" cupping his hands behind his back. Scanning the room with his eyes he unleashes his abilities to its maximum. Moving forward Leviathan and B8 heads back into the last chamber. Seeing that the third pillar is almost gone he nods his head, as he arrives at the stairs he finally runs out of psi.
Psi 0/148
Int +15
Psi 15/163
“Master, if you need me just call. I’m going to focus on understanding the laser weapon" as it finishes speaking its entire body breaks into a golden cloud that combines with the swarm around the pillar, and at the same time a small black swarm comes and combines with the Abysnic bots left behind.

Forming into a small half foot humanoid figure B8 sits on the ground.
Sitting down Leviathan grabs a stone with his right hand, rolling it around with his fingers for a moment he begins to focus on the stone. The stone begins to vibrate, floating into the air. Raising his hand the stone floats higher, closing his hand the stone begins to shake more violently.
*Tsk* clicking his tongue he squeezes his fist harder, as he does a crack appears on the stone. Knuckles begging to pale and fist shaking, the stone finally breaks.
*Hah* releasing a breath Leviathan shakes his head “To hard, making things lighter than air is easy, but trying to apply pressure on all sides is to hard” looking at the ring on his finger “I guess it should just be used to increase and decrease weight, anything more and its encouching on the area of psionics reducing its effectiveness.”
Rising to his feet a smile appears to his face as he looks up the stairs. Clenching his fist he quadruples his bodyweight causing his knees to buckle, taking a difficult step forward he lands on the first stair. I always thought movies and shows that depicted training in increased gravity was an exaggeration taking another step forward he looks at the long way to go.
Two hours later Leviathan finally arrives at the top of the stairs, covered in swat. Releasing the gravity he crumbles to the ground breathing heavily.
Str +3
Con +2
As the message fades his stomach begins to grumble, using the ring to reduce his weight by half he sits up. Reaching into his pack he grabs some rations. Taking a bite he begins to ponder -in a half hour my psi will be full, in a few hours B8 will be done. The mining robots should be done with moving the ore by now glancing over at B8 most of his nanobots are made of gold, which is a very soft metal..why did the Machine Emperor want the bots to be made of such a weak metal?
Returning his body to his natural weight his shoulders slump “B8 I have some questions”
Turning its head B8 begins to walk towards Leviathan, with its small body it takes a while but eventually gets there “Master, you called?”
“Won't your bots be very weak if made from gold? Why not shadow iron found around this place?”
“Master, you answered your own question. Gold is weak, which causes bots made from it to be faster. If I were to use the original bots to start making the new ones from shadow iron it would take a long time. But if I have many bots I can use mass quantity to make quality bots"
Snapping his fingers “Dam, I didn't even think about that! So what I really wanted to ask you is weather you want to use the shadow iron on the ship to make more bots?”
“Master, if I use some shadow iron and parts from they hydro tank I should be able to make a few bots”
“Great, we should be leaving this camp soon" crossing his legs and placing his hands in his lap he closes his eyes and begins to wait. Thirty minutes later without even opening his eyes he uses his ability to spread his power from 100ft to 300ft, a few minutes later it recedes.
Psi 0/163
Int +16
Psi 16/179
Time travels on, and in the next moment all the golden towers are gone. The golden cloud begins to swarm around the tiny black B8.
The black bots reform into a sphere and as it does the golden bots completely envelop it. Morphing around for a while a five foot tall sleek golden figure stands before Leviathan. The figure has a humanoid appearance but its face is blank, just a smooth egg shape.
“Master, I am ready"
“Great! We have been here for to long" sizing B8 up and down Leviathan nods his head. Turning on his heels he begins to walk towards the crack in the wall. Entering through the crack he turns to wait for B8, looking at it move through the crack Leviathan smacks his lips, status

Raising his brows he looks at the number of bots, blinking a few times he looks at the now emerged B8 all those bots and its only this big? “Ok let's go" walking side by side they leave the mine.
Walking to the front of the ship they see the twenty bronze bots lined in front of the door, walking passed them they enter the ship. As they enter the door they see the previous empty room filled with shadow iron.
“How much is here?”
“Master, just from looking it appears to be over 500 tons.”
“Ok B8, carry out my orders. I want those guns piled up from earlier brought onboard, then get enough iron to the hydro tank to make your bots. When you get everything set up meet me in the control room, I want to take off"
Leviathan walks towards the lift and B8 towards the mining robots.
