《Machinarium》Chapter 7: [Upgrades]
Advertisement
"Alright, Bula, you can live in here. Just don't try to attack me or any of my constructs."
"Why would I attack you?" Bula asked
"Well you seemed to think it was a good idea when we first met" I said holding back a laugh
"Oh come on, that was ONE time!" Bula said flustered.
Bula walks over to the corner and sits down pouting.
'Isap, Open the construct upgrade screen'
The same blue screen opened up and then switched tabs to the "upgrade" tab.
On the screen it displays a cross hair and says "point cross hair at construct"
I move my vision to Alpha and the screen changes to a very similar screen to the construct creation screen, except it shows alpha's model.
'Hmmm. I need a melee weapon for him.'
'ISAP, Open the part creator'
The part creator screen opens up, and I take a look through the component list.
Gas tank, No. Missile launcher, Where would I even get missiles? Motor? Yes. Sword? Yes.
I take the motor and sword and attach the motor to Alpha's model's arm, and then I put the sword into Alpha's hand. Soon after, I finished designing a retracting blade.
'ISAP, save the part and send it to the construct creator, and name it: "Retracting blade"'
The part disappears and then re-appears on the construct creator.
Then, I pull the retracting blade part and put it onto alpha's right arm, and it digs out a small slit in Alpha's model's arm.
Finally, I press "Accept", and alpha's arm begins to drain of dirt, and a sharp rock attached itself inside of it.
"Woah, What happened?" Bula asks
"Uh, I upgraded him?"
"But how? Even the most skilled magicians have to touch their constructs to upgrade them!" Bula says shocked
"You are literally talking TO A METAL BALL. I DONT HAVE ORGANIC LIMITATIONS."
"Oh. Yeah, I might have forgotten about that" Bula said embarrassed.
"HOW DO YOU FORGET YOU ARE TALKING TO A METAL BALL?"

8 212The Soul Saga
Meredith Childs dreamed of being the best Guardian one could be, protecting the world from all that would harm it. Working her days at her parents’ garage, she never took her eyes off that distant horizon. However, the one thing she lacked was the one thing that made all the great Guardians: the ability to use magic. Yet when Flame Commander Royston Masters arrives in her small town and takes an interest her, Meredith is put on a path of adventure with her best friend Eddie, leading her straight to the Guardian Corps and its trials along the way. She’s not alone, either; not with a floating boy, an obnoxious girl her age, magical climate zones and a Beastmaster whose bark and bite are both unknown. Not to mention a shadowy threat lurking just beneath the surface, inexorably tied to their dying world and the myths of its past. With her journey just beginning, and many souls on the line, Meredith will have to strive forward and fight for her dream, magic or not…

Eight men acknowledge the life they knew ended, but continues within the underworld. There they must face the Shetani, misanthropic and supernatural forces personified as men, who work in concert with the necromancer, a chief practitioner of black magic and sorcery. The man eating ghouls, and the gargoyles they encounter while on their never ending quest to find safety aren’t any more hospitable. In the midst of desperation to discover whether they can find some place of refuge or save their souls, five of the eight men learn the necropolis, a diamond-studded jewel imbued with a magical power, is critical to their having any hope of finding salvation.
8 132The New Guild Master
** Dropped ** I may or may not return to complete this, as I'm currently focusing my efforts on other projects. ** Tristan fell into another world. Literally. Flat on his face. It hurt really bad. Now a cute Elven princess is depending on him to be her 'knight in shining armor'. With no memories of his past life, no cheat skills, and no talent to speak of, the life of a hero in this dark fantasy world seems impossible. So he settles for the next best thing: being a guild master. You know what they say, 'those who can't do, teach'. And the role of armchair general is much more his style and a lot less risky. Unscrupulous friends, helpful enemies, resentful fans and generous rivals- all are pawns in Tristan's epic quest to become the world's greatest guild master!
