"Hey, VAS, how much time is left for the creature to live?" John asked as he eyed the wounds.
"Approximately 30 minutes left." Replied VAS.
"Since I'm a nanobot, does it have a function to extend the time in here? like to think faster."
"Yes, its function just requires energy; we can extend 10 minutes into an hour."
John was glad when he heard that. "In accelerated time, can you enter the system hub?"
"1 minute, in reality, equals 1 day in the system hub; only systems can enter the hub." VAS replied. This made John's 'eye' twitch.
"Okay, how long would we have with the accelerated time precisely?" John asked after a moment's pause and added quickly, "Create a timer on one of the empty windows we have and leave the other for my personal use."
"If we use the function, we have 150 minutes." VAS Create the timer window John asked for.
Reality Accelerated 28:00 170:00
John took control of the last empty window and started messing with it as he spoke. "Go and see if we have any beginner gifts; see what we need; and inform me of things we need to know, like the energy and rules we must look out for. I don't want to be targeted by a 'senior' system or the admins of the hub."
"Understood." After VAS replied, John felt VAS's presence decrease greatly.
Using the virtual window, he learned how to use it and discovered what he wanted to write on the window; he just needed to think about what he wanted to place on it.
Plans 1. Identify energy. 2. Gain intel from the source. 3. Take control or drain power from the source. 4.Create/absorb nanobots. 5. Create a network of nanobots.
Not long after, VAS's presence increased as it returned. VAS listed everything he gained on the window.
1. Warnings. a. By entering the hub, you agree to be monitored. b. Access coordinates are being recorded. c. When a task is accepted, the supervisor system will keep watch, and you will be monitored outside the hub. 2. Energy is mana; current mana is unique to the source and is currently too risky to convert to normal mana.
