Once Gray and Fantasma were back in the ships control room. Gray then began stuffing the ships Bio Reactor. After he had stuffed it full, he went back and put on the neural gear.
“You sure this is not going to fry my brain?” Gray asked Fantasma with a doubtful look in his face.
Fantasma replied, while setting up the process. “Captain Gray there should be no issues with downloading all of their data into your brain as you have reached Bio level 1. You have surpassed most humans in terms of strength and mental capacity.”
“Okay… though it sounds dangerous, but I like the idea.” Gray replied with an excited tone while looking forward to downloading the Larcripters data.
“Captain Gray, what type of data would you like to download?” Fantasma asked Gray while waiting for his answer.
Gray smiled before he spoke, “I want to know all about the Larcripters, their history what they eat, who their enemy is and so on. I would also like to learn all about their science, engineering and etc. I want to know all about how their technology works and all their information about Bio Plasma. So basically, I want everything.”
“Yes captain,” Fantasma quickly replied while she was hacking into the Larcripters data banks to gain access to all of the necessary systems needed for the data to be downloaded. Once she had finished, she looked at her captain and spoke.
“I’ve finished gaining access and I am ready to go. It won’t take long before the Larcripters notice our unauthorized entry and attempt to lock us out. I advise that you start now.”
Looking at Fantasmas stern look on her face Gray nodded and gave his confirmation, “I’m ready, let’s do this.”
Fantasma started the countdown for the transfer.
“Five
Four
Three
Two
One…”
A worm feeling had enveloped Grays mind. He could feel the information entering his head just like last time he could not think or speak, but could only feel the process. He had to wait for the process to finish. This time the process took a lot longer than the first one.
It did not take long for Grays mind to start drifting, he fell into an illusion that he knew all of the information that was being downloaded into his head since birth. All the information was like his instincts, whenever he needed it, he would just know.
Time slowly crept by for Gray, he now had thousands of years knowledge in his head. All the information about the Larcripters their habits, likes, and sorrows, he knew it all. Their history the war they fought the trials they faced; it was as if he had become one of them.
At this moment no human knew these aliens better than Gray did. About three hours had passed in real time when Gray had awoken from his trance like state, it took him some time to get his thoughts together.
“Captain, how are you feeling? Did the process go smoothly?” Fantasma then walked up to him and asked her confused looking captain.
“No, I’m fine, just give me a while to get my thoughts together.” Gray said to Fantasma while taking his neural gear off. Swaying side to side from how dizzy he was, he managed to slowly sit down. Lifting up his hands to support this dizzy head, he felt like it was going to fall off. Standing for three hours did not faze him at all because of his strong body that now was in Bio level 1.

After sitting for a while Gray finely calmed down, “Fantasma, I want you to shut down the QSTC device so they don’t get our location.” He spoke to Fantasma while looking tired. It should be known that he had not slept for almost forty hours.
Fantasma replied to Grays order right away. “I’ve already done that captain Gray.”
“Good, if there are no issues I would like to rest. Please inform me if anything comes up.” Gray spoke while making himself comfortable as he was getting ready to sleep.
“Affirmative, there are no issues at the moment. I will alert you if anything comes up.”
Fantasma replied to her tired looking captain.
Gray then fell asleep… sleeping for quite some time, Gray finely woke up. With a healthy look on his face, Gray then let out a yawn and stretched out his stiff body.
A blue phantom woman stood looking down onto the floor where Gray was yawning and stretching himself out. “Hallo Captain Gray, how was you rest?”
“Huh? Oh… hallo Fantasma, how where things while I was sleeping.” He looked up at Fantasma in surprise before greeting her.
“I’m happy to say nothing out of usual happened during your rest.” She gave her report to him with a happy look on her face.
Gary smiled as he stood up, “that’s good. I’m thinking of going over the information about the Larcripters to see if I can get any clues to fight them.” On the other hand, Fantasma just happily nodded her head.
Gray then started to walk back and forth as He started going over the information he had acquired. It took him a bit of time to go over his new memories. “I’ve got it!” Gray shouted as he clenched his fist and quickly turned around to look at Fantasma.
“What is it captain?” She asked him with a curious look on her face.
Smiling, Gray explained. “I have a plan to delay the alien invasion. The Larcripters have an enemy that they don’t ever want to encounter, they are the Okagos. They have the same amount of military strength the Larcripters possess, they also hate the Larcripters so much that they would start an all-out war with them onsite.”
With a concerned look Fantasma asked. “But captain would they really help us if we were to call out to them.”
“No, they most likely will not. But their presence is crucial for delaying the Larcripters invasion. We can not let them continue to harvest the earth of all its resources, the Larcripters are a dangerous fast reproducing race. I can’t fight them alone as I am now, if we were to send a message to the Okagos they would not miss this opportunity to mess with the Larcripters and get some Bio matter while they are at it.” He explained it to her.
“But what would happen if they were to join hands with the Larcripters and harvest all of the earth’s resources?” Fantasma questioned Gray.
Gray explained the whole situation to her. “That won’t happen, the Okagos hate the Larcripters too much to join hands with them. They also would not sell the information that we have because they need the earth’s resources as much as the Larcripters do.
They would not be able to harvest the earth for resources because they would be too busy fight over it, when two or more races are fighting for a planet that is biologically capable, they will not fully harvest its resources until a winner has been decided or a cease fire has been made. The Larcripters hate the Okagos too much to form a cease fire. That’s why the Okagos are the perfect race for the job, they are the Larcripters mortal enemies.”
“Oh, but the only problem is that the ship is not capable of sending a message that far out into the galaxy. At most it can only send a message one light year away.” Fantasma said, with her hands folded over her chest.
“That’s not the problem anymore with all the information I have acquired from the Larcripters I can modify the QSTC device. I would need to be at Bio level 5 to do a basic modification on it to send out a message to the Okagos.” Gray explained this to her.
“But Captain, that would take too long to set everything up yourself, also if we were to do this our location would most likely be discovered by the enemy. This could endanger us.” Fantasma tried to talk Gray out of his dangerous idea.
“No, this is the safest thing we could do to by us time in the long run. Right now, the Larcripters can’t find us but that will not last long. I have already come up with a plan to survive in the long run and this is part of it.” He looked right into Fantasmas blue eyes he continued, “I want you to run all the calculations and get everything calibrated in advance, I will be leveling up my Bio Plasma in the meantime.”
“Affirmative, I will do that captain. I will not let you down.” Fantasma nodded before she disappeared and went back into Grays imaginary space. Gray did not waist time ether, he did a quick perimeter sweep in the control room to make sure no one was outside.
He opened the large hanger door and left the ship. Gray then headed to the farm house. He had decided to stay in it while he leveled up his Bio Plasma. When he got there, he noticed that there was no power.
“The Larcripters must have destroyed the power stations, to force people out of hiding.” When Gray said this, he got even more motivated to stop the Larcripters from getting stronger with the earth’s resources. He did not really give much for saving the world, all he really wanted was to avenge his dead mother.
