Grrrrr …. I looked at my stomach and put my hand on it.
“Hey Al can you put up my vitals I want to know what shape I'm in, before moving around” :Real
“One second…… It's up” :Al
“Wow!! My nutrients and calories haven’t decreased that much” :Real
“Yes Master you were out cold for 5 days without any major injuries so I put your body into a state of low activity. I also forgot to mention that your spatial storage has taken damage from the unstable warp so acquiring food through your storage will be impossible.” :Al
“What!!! You should have told me sooner I don't have any large caliber weapons at my disposal or even medium caliber guns.” :Real
“That is true, I have scanned the suit and a handful of different grenades, a rail pistol with the capability to shoot energy rounds, a plasma sword, a force shield, medical kit, and an Auxiliary kit. They are all of the latest military equipment but some are also of the lowest grade. Why is your equipment so inconsistent Master?” :Al
Real ignores Al’s comment “So that's all I have? Why did I even pick this suit, heck why even bother keeping it. Sigh I guess i'll take what I can get, without contact with the fleet something will always be better than none.” :Real
“Anything else you want to tell me ? I feel like it's a better time to ask than now than when where already in a battlefield” :Real
{Many flags were raised}
“No nothing at the moment since the suit didn't have many features to begin with there was little that could really fail” :Al
“Best news i've heard since I got here. Is the storage system repairable with the equipment at hand?” :Real
“No Master the calibration of the dimensional portal is not possible with your outdated computer system hahahaha” :Al
“Ay don't laugh it may be an antique but it’s durable” his cheeks had a tint of red from the truth he could not refute :Real
“Perhaps” :Al
Looking around I see small and tall trees some 30 feet, some 40 and the tallest may be around 150 feet. I can’t identify them but some look like spruce without pointy leafs and others like maple and many more, it looked very diverse in terms of plant life. I wonder how about animals, I have seen some shadows and movement on radar indicating that there are living things around me but I have yet see them up close.
Swoosh rusle rusle, as I turn around and look at my radar there seems to be a large animal there. As the bush cleared I started to see a glimpse of what looks like a deer. It looked ordinary very similar to what you would perhaps see 2000 years ago. It seems to be feeding on vegetation and fruits without noticing me.
“Hey Al I thought there were different animals here compared to earth?” :Real
“Uhhh” shocked herself Alivine said with embarrassment “this is my first time seeing a deer here. But i'm 100% sure there are animals that we have never seen.” :Al
Grrrrrrr……. Real puts his hand on his stomach
“Well atleast I found myself some food” a smile appears on his hungry face :Real

I first started to think of the best way to approach this hunt. I thought of using my plasma sword to cut off its head, even if it runs it won't be able to outrun me. Then again I heard that when cooking slaughtered meat it is best to do bloodletting and a plasma sword will just close the wound.
The moment it saw me I decided that I would use my rail pistol. It may not be dangerous to heavily armored troops or in long distance engagements, but at this distance of about 40 to 50 feet against flesh it should be more than enough.
I took out my pistol and aimed, ttssscchh I shot and the sound of a thunderous jet like sound was heard. Birds flew and smaller animals scattered. I had hit the deer on its head blowing away its face.
Thud the deer fell and brain matter splattered towards its surroundings and with a large amount of blood. Looking at it’s deformed head It died instantly and without knowing what happened.
“Well that was a little too powerful wasn't it” :Real
“Yes a rail pistol at close range should be capable of piercing 200 mm of steel plate. It was overkill to begin with since it was meant to be used against armored targets like your power armor.” Al
“I better hurry with the bloodletting” Real with an even redder face knowing he over did it :Real
I slit its throat to further speed up the process, then tied the deer's hind legs together using a small rope made of carbon nanotubes and placed it on 2 poles stuck to the ground that I just made, they arched over each other on what is soon to be a camp fire. The rope I found was enclosed inside an auxiliary pack for use in just about any situation. After a while I set up a fire and started cooking. Then sat down on a tree root near the campfire.
By the way in human standards of the 21st century I would be a super soldier I was injected with both nanomachines, super soldier serum, Surgical Graphed composites on all my bones which rendered them almost indestructible, as well as enhanced genetic durability improving my physical, mental, and genetic capability. Though the genetic enhancements only improve my lifespan, immune system and other approved genes. This is because of a law pertaining to the safeguard of the human genome. In my early years of school I learned that this was meant to safeguard and retain our gene diversity since humanity started to live longer and longer lives.
It was recorded in the first missions to colonize other planets that a diverse genetic pool is needed to both protect against unknown diseases as well as genetic defects. So genetic engineering became prohibited on many human genes and If caught doing such a procedure you will be sentenced with an attack on humanity, which could lead to life in prison or death.
As a superhuman my body is kept at its peak performance or something you could call an athletic standard. Though I am stronger than even the best athlete in their prime condition it isn't enough to call me inhuman, because even the military has to follow the law. As I am kept in this peak all the time my body burns twice as many calories and I eat twice as much as a civilian. This goes for all soldiers so Its normal.
After eating a whole shoulder and half of the other, I didn't know what to do with the rest. At that moment of thought I heard a bleep sound indicating something is near me from my radar.
I got up from where I was sitting and looked around I didn't see anything, there was just too many trees and vegetation to see far.
"Grahh" I heard something, I don't know what it was but out of reflex I hid by climbing the tree I was sitting on leaving the rest of my meal on the fire.
Then they appeared from the bush into the clearing. Three small green ugly looking looking little men came out and looked around, heck call that a man and I would just be disgusted with my race. They kept moving forward and started to eye my food.
“Al scan them and try putting it through the database. I have never seen these creatures before but they seem to have some form of intelligence, it won't be good if we killed them without knowing for sure if they are worth communicating with” :Real
“One second……………… nothing on the database of living things. But something is weird” :Al
“What is it ?” :Real
“Well I searched the whole database contained behind your head there was nothing. But I also searched the books you saved for storage to read on your free time and there was a match. What is described there was definitely a goblin similar if not the exact same as that creature. They don't seem to be too smart to the point of starting civilizations, but they do use traps and have been depicted to like raping, pillaging, and destroying towns. Based on the books I have logged they seem to be dumb enough to fall into simple traps as well.” :Al
………… :Real
That's all I was able to find it is also very similar to a flying reptile like bird I saw pass by when you were sleeping, they also seem to be one of the weakest entities found inside the book so it should be safe master :Al
