John was filled with questions and started pondering for himself. “So the mana didn't just invade and cause the change; it seems like it was sort of a law also invaded… But that's not possible, is it? I understand mana as energy and free moving, but if it is the law I am thinking about, it is not possible to encase the whole world unless the planet is teleported somewhere, right?”
John felt that even his own deduction was not possible unless something like a god moved it, and even then, if the planet was without a god, then why move the planet? It can't be that the god of this planet lost a bet, right?
Luckily, VAS voice brought John out of his thoughts. “Don't just look at the logs, Host.”
With that, VAS's reminded John of the other two subjects of the report, and he shook his head at the third subject and said, “VAS, let's keep it as is and instead build new generators later for research purposes. Besides, we need to find the lost knowledge, and I suspect it's probably backup in the hazard shelter somewhere.”
VAS, who appeared as a small black light ball, nodded. “Understood.” After hearing VAS's acknowledgement, John then continues with the second subject. With hearing VAS's acknowledgement, John then continues “with what is reported here, we can't go the four way build, but a build that line along each other, unless we can connect them another way”.
VAS quickly came up with a suggestion. ”Why don't we use the network core? It could create storage connections indecent to the three facilities and make it so that the hybrid requires taking resources from the two parent facilities.” John nodded quickly and said it to VAS with surprise. “We should test that out later; creating such a connection is better than trying to… Wait a minute, this is a factory, so where and how are they assembled?”

At John's question, VAS started to shine for a bit before stopping glowing and speaking. “The core is responsible for assembling the parts, so we are basically responsible, as basically all creations require an AI.”
John looked puzzled, but then looked at the blueprint in front of him and remembered a movie he watched before he nodded in understanding. "I would have to do it via this table, right?” VAS nodded, then shook his head and replied. “Yes and no, there would be more tables like this produced to use, and it is recommended to keep this table open at all times since this is used for supervision and administering tasks.”
As VAS finished speaking, a smaller table appeared next to the big table, except the surface was clean and looked like a normal table. But John knew that was just not active, so looking back at VAS, he nodded with a relieved sigh. “VAS I am glad I am not alone; if the previous SI had someone to remind him, he might have made adjustments and survived.” As John finished, VAS huffed and said, “It wouldn't have lasted long and may even have been corrupted like everything was; if not, he would lose his knowledge and become useless; after all, it is still bound to a nonliving object.”
John was surprised and wanted to ask, but before he could inquire VAS about it, VAS interrupted his chance. “Don't think about it; you will figure it out in the future. I can't have you become lazy.” John gave a sad face, but all he got was a hologram of the middle finger from VAS before disappearing.
