《Amauga: Far From Any Semblance of Modern Civilization》043: Changes to Come to Dewick
Advertisement
I've just taken a shower. Currently, I'm waiting for my hair to dry in the warm air.
“Aster, since we can get all the heavy metals we need for energy,” Mittens asks, “how about we create a service drone or two? They do not have to be autonomous, but they could act as my arms. That way, I can do the maintenance tasks that you do not have the training to do.”
Service drones? Why didn't I think of that?!
“Yes, that's a good idea! I was really worried about maintenance of the replicator. Since that means we can make more use of the replicator, I want to make a computation unit after that. The question is where to put it… We could make it part of the hatchment!
And have the hatchment house a few extra of drones for backup too! That way, you can just activate more of them if you require more hands. Or if something unexpected were to happen to the other drones…”
“As you want a computation unit, will you be adding a new sibling of mine to it?”
I can't really tell if he wants a new sibling or not… When I wrote the program, I made sure the program wouldn't self-replicate to improve performance. While it's unlikely, it's possible that routine left Mittens with a disdain against the creation of new AIs based on his programming. I've never really probed if it did affect Mittens's reasoning.
“No, I only wanted it as a backup device for you. Say, how do you feel about it: do you want another sibling?”
“I would not call it a feeling, I do have an unexplainable longing to be your only AI companion. But having a sibling stationed here in Dewick could make things easier in the long run. Especially since you will be travelling a lot. I am content with being your most important AI companion.”

“I see, put the plans on the future agenda for now.”
“Understood. The other suggestion I wanted to make is installing holographic emitters inside and outside the shuttle. Everyone is way too surprised whenever I voice my input.”
“Is that so? Aren't they slowly getting used to it?”
“Yes, but we will continue meeting new people.”
“You make a valid point. For mobility, the drones we just talked about should have some emitters as well.”
“I suggest you start in the lounge area.”
“I'll see to it after our guests leave.”
My hair is dry, I get dressed and leave the bathroom. Rowan and Kate are waiting in the lounge.
Upon seeing me enter the room, Kate states, “I shall go and fetch our guests,” and leaves.
🙐 🙑 🙓 🙒 🙐 🙑 🙓 🙒 🙐 🙑 🙓 🙒
A bit later, Kate leads our guests into the room. It's only two people from their group, Archer and another guy.
“I'm sorry, my other companions don't feel well,” Archer says, “I should introduce you, this is my little brother Hunter.”
“Don't worry about it,” Rowan answers, “have a seat.”
“It really feels like you've become a noble…” Archer states while sitting down. Kate quickly removes the unused dishware and leaves the room.
“It's currently an open secret…” Rowan explains everything to Archer.
His jaw drops. Tate brings in the food and leaves again. As expected this really feels awkward, I consider the twins my friends and yet, because of etiquette, they act like servants.
“It sounds quite unbelievable, but then the twins are here and treating you like it…” Archer seems to have a hard time processing the information, “I guess I have to treat you as noble too.”

“Feel free to be informal when we're among us, you're a friend after all. That's also the reason why we're here, so we don't get overheard.”
“You have it rough…”
We start eating.
“Brother,” Hunter timidly says, “that means Cyma…”
“Yes, Cyma is to succeed granny instead of me,” Rowan states.
“I see…” Archer turns pensive.
“It's fine, brother, leave Frosfeld to me!” Hunter states.
“But…”
“It's fine! You wanted to propose to her. Sure, the situation changed, but you don't need to worry about dumping Frosfeld on me. Father probably knew something: he asked me what I would think about me succeeding instead of you. Our two villages really are close.”
“Hunter… Fine, I'll ask her.”
“Best of luck, Archer,” Rowan and I state.
“Thanks, guys.”

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.

Winterborn
There are many worlds in the cosmos. Many of them have rules and laws that are utterly alien to the world that we know. Most never leave the world they were born into, never even know or suspect that other worlds even exist. Their souls simply go through the cycle of reincarnation again and again, always forgetting their past lives, and living as they please. But some few are given the gift of Transfering after death, to live their next life in a different world, with memories of their past lives to enrich the world they go to with new concepts and new ideas, and bringing back those same from the world they visited when it is time for their next cycle in their old world. A young woman suffers a tragic fate, and is granted the ability to Transfer. She is reincarnated into a new world, full of monsters and magic, things that would be mere myths and legends to her in her old life. This time, she promises, will be different. She doesn't have to be weak here. She doesn't have to be a victim. She can be strong, and no one will ever control her again!

Black Butler X Reader Oneshots
[NOT ACCEPTING REQUESTS]* Okay, let's face it: BLACK BUTLER CHARACTERS ARE HOT AS HELL. And hey, almost none are married or otherwise engaged, so would it really be a crime to take one~? Are you a fan of one of the Devil Six? Do you perhaps prefer anime exclusive characters? Or, maybe, you like the least popular ladies or gentlemen of the series.Who do you choose?-I do not own Black Butler or the characters within it (naturally, you do not belong to me either). I only own the stories within, thank you-
