《Dungeon AI》Chapter 6 - Irontown: part 1/3
Advertisement
As I felt the impact my head, I suddenly started seeing error messages flash in front of my eyes.
Error: audio sensors lost.
Error: visual systems lost.
Error: vocal systems lost.
Warning full system shutdown initiated.
Earlier today I began work on the infiltrator avatar. So I was able to switch over to the infiltrator when I lost connection. "Now to see what happened to my old body." I walked into the medical bay to see Carol standing over my body holding a chair.
Carol looked startled and said."Who are you where you came from?' She pointed the chair at me.
Andrew and Steve both turned around and looked at me, And then shouted at the same time. "ARE YOU AN ELF?
Cray
"I'm Cray and how did you guys both know what an elf is?"
Steve and Andrew said, "we both game all the time with." They were interrupted by Carol. "themselves!" she glared at the two of them. Andrew then said."elves are in a lot of games, so we know what they look like." Cray then said."there's a town near here that has people that look like elves, so I decided to use an infiltrator to look like them." while waving down to myself.
Andrew and Stephen asked at the same time "Can we come,"I thought about it. There wasn't really anything they could do here. I wasn't ganna keep them locked up in here for their own safety. All I really need to do is, arm them and give them disguises. After all, there required to have basic military training in order to even be on a spaceship. I reply to their question: yes, but I'll need to make sure to get you guys disguises and weapons."Carol looked startled for a second and then said:"wait what, if you're going to see a whole new race I'm coming to."
I walked back into the engineering room and saw my face on a mirror that was over a worktable. My face was bland average cheeks dark brown hair, and the Elven pointed ears with dark brown eyes. "this is an infiltrator?" I guess the faces supposed to be unmemorable.

I made another 15 spider bots and to excavators. They would begin building an underground tunnel from the bottom of the ship to the shoreline. Soon Carol wouldn't have to worry about the giant lizards. The reason why I didn't just kill the lizards, is because I think they're the reason why the ship hasn't been scavenged yet. There are only two ships that could be scavenged, and one of them had been picked clean to the skeletal structure.
I was wearing a standard engineering jumpsuit. So I was going to have to make disguises for not only me but everybody else as well. I called everybody into the room and then wasted 4 hours. Everybody was picking out clothes from scouts videos taken of the city. Andrew and Steve picked out some leather armor, While Carol picked out three dresses. She wanted to try them on first before choosing. She finally ended up going with a dark brown dress with an apron in front. The other two dresses were clearly meant for nobility and would've stood out far too much.
At this point, I received a report from the excavator drones, saying they completed the tunnel. I gave everybody electromagnetic pistols and the equipment to refill them. I had made sure to replace the batteries with power crystals before we went down.
Electromagnetic pistols description: the ammo is a tungsten round with an iron jacket designed for the military. It can penetrate most medium armor. Each shot is the equivalency of a 50 caliber round. Each pistol clip can hold up to 34 rounds of ammo. The pistols also have an inertial compensator built-in to the bottom of the barrel and in front of the trigger guard. The pistols also look and feel like a Glock 19.
We finally got down to the bottom level of the ship and entered the tunnel. The tunnel was perfectly round with a catwalk suspended in the middle. It went straight for 200m before hitting a slant, and a catwalk changed from a flat path to stairs. The stairs led to a bunker with a doorway that we could use to get in and out. I had the drones place a turret on top of the bunker and one more in the tunnel in case something tried to break in.

While we're gone, I'll have the drones finish patching the ship and emptying out all the water. The systems for the crew quarters will be repaired as well. So though be able to spend time in their own rooms.
I had Scout start flying back to us so he could lead us to the town. It was going to be a long walk. It was tough going walking through the woods, but it went by fast. Andrew and Steve were talking to me the whole time about D&D races. Carol stayed quiet the whole time. We got to a dirt road. Scout landed right beside me and folded up his wings into his front legs. He now looked like a Doberman with the box he head.
It took us five more minutes of walking down the road before we saw the walls of the city. During this time Carol kept trying to pet Scout, Scout would let her, but occasionally he would wander off. Right before we came inside of the gate, I told Scout to go back to patrolling around the city.
When we reached the gates, There were two guards, one standing on either side of the gate. The guards barely took notice of us as we walked through. I guess they're here just to keep out monsters. As we walked by one of the guards said "morning, "I answered back without thinking "morning took me a second, but when I replayed the video of when he said morning, but his lips didn't match what he said. Is there some kind of Auto translation going on here? I wonder if that's a new part of the HUD.
More people continued to talk in the street as we walked by and none of their mouths match what they were saying. "I guess I don't have to learn a new language now" I set out loud Carol Stephen and Andrew all looked at me at the same time Carol asked."What do you mean? I replied."
-"There's some kind of Auto translation going on so that we can understand the natives, having you notice they're all speaking our language."
-Carol turned her head and listening to the people around her while watching them."Yeah, their lips aren't right, but I can still understand them. That's pretty good, for us anyways,"
I told the group "For now, let's try and ask somebody to figure out why one of our engines is randomly turning on and off in the middle of the city. And find more information about the world here."

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
