Vrr...

The drone stirred once more, ready for a new day of wor-

You have hibernated for 3 days and 17 hours. You have gained 89 Balance.

A System Panel shoved Itself against it's processing unit once more, making it twitched in annoyance.

It commanded to start a new Progression, thinking of it's next nap.

After entering the white space again, it glanced at the three pillars and casually picked Automation.

The word glowed brightly and the space changed, the pillars sank into the ground and an assembly line rose up.

A red button appeared infront of it, as if telling it to press the button.

The drone hitted it's head against the button and the assembly line came to life, the conveyor belts started rolling and a transparent colourless crystal appeared on the left, moving through the assembly line.

The drone buzzed and got tired of waiting, it closed it's eyes and took a nap.

The whole space seemingly sped up by about a tenth, making the assembly line rolled even faster.

An identical crystal soon joined the line after an hour, then another, and another, forming a constant row of crystals.

After about 10 crystals passed through the asssembly line, the space collapsed, making the drone woke up, it glared at the offending panel.

You have entered Hibernation. +10% Progression speed.

You have completed the Progression Of Automation.

You have hibernated for 8 hours.

You have gained 8 Balance.

It floated over to a rock and froze for a while, then it turned and seemingly sighed.

Progression Of Automation

The drone checked out the new Title it got.

Requirements Complete the Progression Of Automation.

It paused in thought at the absurdness it saw, the drone silently processed the numbers and calculated the result, it finished with a look of disbelief.

Which idiot designed this thing? This is already too unbalanced and overwhelming, though it would take any chance it could get to work less.

If the effects of this and the Progression Of Hibernation stacked together, then it would quickly got out of control and effectively complete a Progression in about half the time it would normally take.

The drone ignored the implications of this exploit for now and started another Progression.

The world turned dark and it entered the white space again, it picked Basics and the other remaining tower sank down, but the Basics tower was still standing, confusing the drone.

Then it abruptly splited into two and revealed a transparent orb inside.

It curiously floated over to the orb and touched it, nothing happened for a moment. Then the orb suddenly flashed a bright light.

The drone opened it's eyes again and the whole space changed. Several panels floated in the air, surrounding it in all directions.

It then proceeded to read them one by one, ignoring the ones it had already saw before.

After finishing reading them, the space collasped violently, ejecting the drone back to the real world.

You have completed the Progression Of Basics.

It mused over the information it received, before calling up it's User Statistics.

User Statistics

Designation Drone Status Basic User Level 1 Progress 3/10 Balance 97 Titles 2 Progressions 3

It yawned tiredly and felt like it hadn't slept for a week, closing it's eyes lazily, it shook itself and fell asleep.

You have entered Hibernation.

You have entered Automation.

The drone started to snore and vibrate, imitating a sleeping living creature.

It floated in deep space amongst the asteroids, not minding the few rocks passing by occasionally.
