John awoke from his sleep. He found that he was surrounded by numerous windows. The first thing he did was to check his progress. "VAS, can you give me a status report?"

VAS didn't take long to go through the details that were gathered while John was still asleep. "The total amount of the source is about 10000 mana. Every hour 100 units of mana are disappearing from the body, the cause is unknown, as for possession, the creature is female, half human and has cat ears and cat tail."

While VAS explains, a 3D model of the girl's figure appears, but no detailed features. Even her face was blank, except for the cat ears and tail, she looked human.

"While you slept, I started building nano 'cells' in the body. This will allow us to prevent energy loss. If we seek more information, we must take possession of the soul."

John understood and asked, since VAS had not mentioned it in his report. "How much mana is left?"

"There are about 6,000 mana, and I recommend that we spread nanobots on their skin to prevent mana from being used.

"Due to your lack of knowledge required, if we had basic knowledge of different fields, we could research our own advancements without paying system points. We can even gain system points."

With VAS words, John felt his pride hurt. But what can he do? It was the truth, VAS continued. "We can try to salvage data from all the dead nanobots."

Hearing this, John felt relieved and added it to the to-do list he started creating. "VAS will see if we can create some scouts to do recon around us, looking for anything we can use and understanding our surroundings. Let's start salvaging what we can from the dead nanobots."

With everything set, VAS started the program, and the nanonetworks that cover the wounds started bringing some dead nanobots into the body. As for the idle network used earlier for treating the bones, its change of duty was to anylize the nanobots, and VAS used the data from the analysis to salvage what it could from the dead nanobots.

As for John, he didn't stay idle; he started creating a chain of replicas to surround the dormant soul in preparation to use possession.
