*Neural heat level: 99%*
I wake up at the system reminder of my stress driven stunt, as i look around to see that I'm out of the confines of the vat.
Guara - “Don’t move, the med chamber is still scanning you.”
I stop moving as requested and wait for the scan to complete. It takes 30 minutes, but I'm finally free to get out.
Guara - “I would like to thank you for saving me back at the overrun avali laboratory, I'm Susan Guara, the medic of this group, not at the best shape to say that right?”
Silver - “Niet, i don’t mind, just happy that at least you got out of there in one piece, I'm Silver, male.”
Guara - “Yes, Silver, male alright, I'm curious at the data i got from your scan, you don’t hit the base Avali biology but has similar properties to one, you have any info on that? Wont hurt to ask.”
Silver - “Da, can i see the data?”
Guara points to a monitor and starts inputting commands and right after i see a image of myself with detailed information.
I am a Protoavali, white fur, red markings and black pointed feathers, my hands elbow down are big metallic gloves of mechanical design, five fingers too, my legs ankle down are big Metallic boots that looks hard to move in, also mechanical in nature, i look at my own face and see a protogen visor, trademark of it’s species, two pair of ears complementing the black visor looks, at the neck i see a collar, the data says it’s function is to convert and filter air to my body as well as protect my body from hazards, i see on the back running trough my spinal cord a white exoskeleton system running tough my body and limbs, only spotted it because the scanner highlighted it as it blends with my fur and feathers, looking at my internals it looks mostly normal if you ignore the head hands and legs, and bones, it’s plain to see they’re not calcium based bones but synthetic bones.
System? Report please?
*Codename: Omega, Type: Flying type Protoavali, Body density greatly reduced for flight, skin reinforced with synth materials and external exoskeleton system, Legs upgraded for advanced jumping, running and parkour moves, adition of self adjusting gyros enables the user more varied ground and air capabilities, wings reinforced composed of nanites, enabling elongation of feathers for flight and hardening of feathers for use as blade like weapon, hands equipped with kinetic launcher, grabbing hook, electric discharge system and hidden viroblade for stealth or surprise attacks.*
Ok, too much info! Let's keep some of it hidden, don’t want to test the ‘skin reinforcement’.
Guara - “Silver? Still with me here?”
Silver - “Da, from what I'm seeing and got from my system I'm a Protoavali, made for flying as base, in other words I'm hybrid of Avali and Protogen.”
Shin - “Oh? A hybrid of the exotic fluffs and the walking toasters? Now we don’t see much of that here in this planet at all, rampant EMP and heat’s fault.”
Shin comes from the cockpit of the mobile lab and say while coming over to us.
Guara - “What he say is truth, as the outdoor heat will make even a I.W type avali combust in flames the second he enters in contact with the heat, the protogens? The slight solar flare going to kill it in seconds as they don’t have anti EMP modules, you’re the first hybrid i see and collect data from, and I'll be sincere, you’re made to survive, Silver.”
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
Shin - “What she say is true kid, it’s good to be a hard nut to crack here, you’re gonna get far here, not needing to worry with all the crazy we have in our hands. Oh, came to say where halfway there.”
Silver - “There?”
Guara - “Colony 22 alpha, also known as New Eden, one of the biggest colonies in the grid, 7 kilometers of peace, order and law, you love it, a big contrast to the radioactive wasteland.”
Silver - “Da, now I'm curious, can i go to the cockpit to look?”
Shin - “Sorry lil buddy, but no outsiders in the cockpit, just stay quiet here and well there in no time.”
Silver - “Niet, i prefer to tinker with that station there, i feel like i can make a basic leg prosthetic for Guara.”
Shin - “Oh? Let me change with Melie, our engineer, so she can watch you and make sure you don’t break anything.”
Shin says as he goes to the cockpit, not long after another female comes in to the area, must be Melie the engineer, she comes close to my back as I'm looking at the station data bank for a good material so i can make a basic leg.
Melie - “Watcha searchin for? Imma Melie, sup?”
Silver - “Da, good to meet you Melie, I'm looking for a material that won’t transfer heat but allow energy trough.”
Melie - “Watcha searchin is Plasteel type 3, we have som in tha locker ther beside the vat. Imma go catch it for ya.”
Silver - “Da, thanks for the help.”
As Melie is looking trough the locker for the material i find a cable connected to the building station and examine it.
*Connection cable detected, object: Building station, Cable connection available, Location: Neck*
I connect the cable to the port on the back of my neck and feel the flow of data, the connection between me and the station as schematics from both the station and my mind appears and vanish one after another then I'm knocked out of concentration as the system give ne ab alert.
*Type 3 plasteel detected.*
I open my eyes and look at Melie as she finishes placing another cube of type 3 plasteel on the crafting station and retreats back watching me in silence. Remembering the data from the wounds in Guara i ask the system to start to outfit two Nerve connector system from the plethora of schematic Nexus left on my brain.
*Schematics selection complete, adjusting data for material type, complete, initiating printing of basic nerve connector system*
I feel the time pass by as i watch the printing of the new implants making sure there are no errors in it, and at last it’s done, so i remove the cable and let it be pulled back to it’s slot as i pick the Nerve connectors, as i head to the medical station where i see Guara sitting in it looking curiously at the new implants i ask her for help in preparing the station for installation, while we are preparing the station i hear that Melie is already in the pilot seat again talking with Shin, i don’t give any attention on their conversation as i feel the urge to help prepare Guara for having her limbs back because of guilt for not being able to keep everyone alive.
Guara - “All ready, so this is a non intrusive implant that reconnects the broken nerves to a reactive slot correct? Looks simple but I'm sure it’s not as i don’t see electronics in this.”
Silver - “Da, the use of it is to prepare the foundation for prosthetic installation as the prosthetic itself will have the non electric system and a small EMP resistant signal response system. This part enables the S.R.S to collect the Nerve signal and send it to the synthetic appendage, restoring the 100% operational capability of your lost part.”
Guara - “That’s quite the schematics for a simple non EMP prosthetic, the building of one may take too much material, so just having a peg leg suffices for now for me.”
Silver - “Da, then this connector is even more needed as it will work as a base for all types of prosthetic, peg leg included, when you’re ready we can make a proper leg or arm for you. Now buckle up and get in there missy, it’ll just take some minutes at best and some local anesthesia.”
Guara shrugs at my words and lies down in the medical station as it goes online and starts to easily install the new Nerve conectors in her. As she was being operated i easily made a foldable peg leg for her, as she was sitting on the station again i neared her and simply placed the foldable peg leg in the slot and with a click it was fixed on her.
Guara - “Looks pretty high tech for a foldable peg leg.”
Silver - “Da, it works at 65% of the normal leg capacity, so not much is lost, but you may feel the difference when you need it the most, this beat’s not having a leg at all.
Guara - “Thanks, i appreciate the kind gesture, now I'm going to the cockpit to talk with the team, you can rest here in the med station as we will take some time to get back to New Eden, catch you later.”
Guara says as she kiss the top of my visor in thanks and goes to the cockpit, leaving me alone here, with nothing to do i lie in the med station and closes my eyes and try to organize my mind before i fall sleep, just as i was about to doze off i hear my system.
*Nanite Storage: 7,5%, Advice: Seek food intake.*
How much Nanite is consumed each day system?
*Nanite consumption: 5% per day while active, 2,5% while Passive, 0,05% while in Danger mode, Nanite consumption auto locked when lower than 10%, at 2,5%, Danger mode is activated rendering all non organic system deactivated to preserve host life.*
In other words, i lose most of my vision, thinking, limb movement and is rendered basically harmless, noted, so i have 2 days before needing to do something, for now, sleep......
