《Micro-Management: Survival Base》The Light in Darkness
Advertisement
Duncan awoke from his daze, his body ached from staying in a fetal position for to long. Shaking his head Duncan looked toward the phone that he threw aside and saw the gains from the train tunnel.
He was ecstatic about the stove and oven as well as a dining car. He ordered for the males to move the cars to make a campsite, it was basically the stone wall, with the train cars forming a barrier on each side, in between each train car was a gap that people could enter and exit.
Duncan looked toward the breeding grounds to find the women groaning as the time for giving birth was drawing near, a few of the eggs were also going to hatch soon, Dragonfly hatchlings were nymphs that required water so he had to transport them soon or risk them dying out early. He also needed to find them meat.
The engine was moved to the workshop and it was helpful in smelting new weapons. No longer the days of modified railroad tracks, now it was actual swords, spears and armor.
Duncan was beginning to feel relieved, no more losses, just need to rebuild his den and experience no more losses.
Duncan turned his phone off and went to sleep, hoping for the best the next day.
Rosa looked at the new dragonfly eggs and started to calculate the results
Spiked War Dragonfly x Human : 7% fertility rate: Crossbreeding: Spiked War Humans 2%/Sentient Dragonfly: 3%.
Spiked War Dragonfly x Lesser Acid Mantis: 40% Fertility Rate: Spiked War Mantis 25%/ War Toxin Dragonfly 30%/ Imperial Dragon-Mantis 0.5%/ Blade Dragonfly 10%/ Scythe Wing Dragonfly 14%/ Sky Reaper Mantis: 0.5%.
Spiked War Dragonfly x Sahuagin: 13% Fertility Rate: Water War Dragonfly 15%/ War Sahuagin 25%.
Spiked War Dragonfly x Lesser Acid Centipede: 40% Fertility rate: War Centipede 13%/ Spiky Armored Centipede 23%/ Acidic Dragonfly 30%/ Venomous Dragonfly 40%. Armored War Dragonfly 15%.
.
Andre , the scientist boy, had gathered some materials and tried to research how to transform some of the substances into usable objects. The addition of the oven and microwave could boost research. but Andre had to reserve one of them for food use so he chose the microwave as his equipment.
Mark was busy rewiring the room so that the working engine would help power the room and help with both incubation and heating.

Mark after finishing with it he was passing by the CPU stations and saw Lincoln computing a defense network that could prevent the dragonflies from entering. The problem of the dragonflies was that they were always trying to strip away the wall that seperated them, now that they had a working engine he could make a heat net, it would be able to keep the dragonflies away but the heat could also make the Den uncomfortable with everyone sweating.
Mark decided to start to build it, he found suitable wiring from the train cars as they would not need the wires anymore, He started to work on it.
Duncan woke up to find the women growning and ready to give birth, a few of the eggs were hatching as well,
Duncan grew excited about the growth in population, he also noticed the defense network that Mark was building with the help of Lincoln. Duncan grew hopeful.
The women were lying in the breeding room and the first girl, Tina groaned, she was yelling out as the other girls stayed by her side. The Sahuagin female had moved her to the pool of water to help the baby come out more easily. It took a full day for the baby to come out and it was a boy.
Congratulations Tina Alamontie gave birth to a baby boy, he is of good build and strong vitality
[Traits] Physically Durable, Lust Orientated, Careful, Klutz
Growth Potential: 45%
A strong baby, he is careful and durable but since he is a klutz he won't be able to handle weaponry that well. He is also lust orientated so charm traps will be able to undermine him.
Mother: Tina Alamontie
Father: Connor Loveheart
After the birth of the child the mother decided to name him Ryan, Tina looked at the child with love and cuddle with the crying baby and went to nurse him, People came to move her into one of the cars and help make her comfortable, the rest just waited for more events to happen.
The next births were the eggs, this time around 3 centipede eggs hatched, 2 regular Lesser Acid Centipedes and 1 Aquatic Centipede. Alongside them were 2 Dragonfly eggs both of them were Spiked War Dragonflies.
The other girls were not ready to give birth and Duncan was relieved that his forces grew.

He ordered for a Loveheart to start training everyone for combat, with the exception of the females since they needed their rest.
He also wanted to scout out the dark area where Derek was taken so he had Sandra send the small Mantis and Centipede, their size would not draw attention so they were perfect for scouting.
He also needed to go find a way to get out of the den so that his people could hunt not only for food, but for points that he could spend. With the dragonflies monitoring him 24/7 it was nearly impossible to leave the den to do anything useful.
Thankfully with Mark working on the defense network he might be able to slip people in and out of the wall.
Duncan only had 17 points left, a single point was worth a few in-game days of food and with the amount of time with the amount of people inside that were trapped, it was draining fast.
He was thankful for the refilling pool of fresh and salt water, he also wanted to upgrade the CPU so that he could draw out more information of both Lincoln and Rosa, but he also needed fuel to keep the computers running or else the two AI could be lost forever. With the addition of the engine he extended his limited fuel from a couple of months to about a year or two with the addition of the coal car. Of course they would not last long if there was no one to refill the engine/ power centers.
After Derek was taken he had barricaded up the door and the glowing beast was still trying to get in, Duncan remembered how the beast flashed a light when someone was looking at it.
"Manny, I order you to let the glowing beast in, the rest shall prepare any reflective surface they can find, when the beast comes in, everyone hide behind the reflective surface and Manny shall stare at the beast. The light was intense enough to stun a person, can it stun the beast as well?.
Derek's POV:
I awoke in a cocoon, It was dark outside and I struggled to get out, The cocoon was tough, my fingers couldn't penetrate the tough string and I gave up after a while. Eventually I checked my person and discovered I had my spear on me, I tried to move it without cutting myself and moved it to make indents in the cocoon and eventually cut it.
I gasped for air as I got out, the cocoon was suffocating me. I looked around to find myself in a den, surrounding me were millions of cocoons, I cut open one of them and out popped out a half changed corpse, there was legs protruding from the back of the corpse and mandibles were coming out of the face of the once pretty lady.
I looked at it with disgust and tried to look for newer cocoons, It was just a maze of webbings and everything was dark. I wandered everything was interesting old books, old machines, weapons here and there, most of them corroded, even the corpses of people and people-hybrids.
Wandering and gathering, I didn't want to take to much but I begin to notice that the webbing was newer, more sticky as well. I tried to avoid getting my spear caught by the webs because if webs were on it, then the sharp side of the blade might become a blunt blade as the webs could become a cushion against it.
I heard a scream and I turned sharply to the noise, I saw a light in all the darkness, and the screaming grew louder

Spirit of the Gamer
Waking up in a new world with a odd Gaming power? Not the worst thing... Waking up in a world of hungy ghosts, genocidal reapers, and things not quite covered in manga? Well, that was a little harder to adapt to. Story is OC inserted into pre-canon Bleach. This story will be a massive derail from normal Bleach. Expect random ideas, extremly slow start up, and more focus on characters and trying to be a better person. I don't own Bleach. The who does is Tite Kubo, please support the offical Manga/Anime.
8 177Another world
For some, this old story would always be altered, but the outcome was always the same. 'The Evening Celebration.' Some blame humanity for provoking them, while others accuse monsters from another realm, and a few believed it was all merely the devil's fault. There is now a killer in the city. Attacking all the young ladies, pulling something from within them, and abandoning them on the doorsteps of their loved ones. Exactly similar to the old story. Will this issue ever be resolved, or will it be the start of something new? Ignoring the matter is also an option. Continuing with their everyday routine is generally a wise decision. That's just for the time being, of course. Till the plot leads them to someone they should have never encountered.
8 121The Shadow of the Moon
In the boundless place,from which mere glimpses emerge,striking only the corner of the eye. Where the immobile frolic and dance,and the silent whisper,sweet songs of mute beauty. The favoured haven,of forgotten memories slipped on silver scales,from the minds of the innocent. There lies the shadow of the moon.
