Chapter 97 In space with a junkyard ship

****

“We just have to wait until they leave, then we’ll take everything there.”

“Yeah, I can’t believe someone else moved in there. It's nice when credits just walk into your neighbourhood.”

“I am sure they will have some sort of security set up, so we need to be ready for that.”

“Not to worry. My people should be back soon; I sent them to scout the place out. Wait, I think they’re here, I’m hearing a car pulling up.”

“B...

Chapter 96 In space with a junkyard ship

Once again, I was dry heaving. My body felt like it was broken. Someone grabbed ahold of me and started to drag me. There was no point in fighting or trying to walk myself, I just couldn’t.

“Lola, is that you?” I managed to get out, although I’m not sure what I said was actually understandable. Wait, I can just use my bond.

“Lola, is that you?”

“Good, you’re recovering. Finally, your brain is starting to work again.”

Was I really that bad? Then I reme...

Chapter 95 In space with a junkyard ship

----

Feeling better, so a chapter to finish off the week.

----

POV: Remi

The skill clicked into place. Opening my eyes, I looked up in the dark room, still absolutely furious about what had happened, but I was keeping it inside for now. Focusing on the new skill.

Every skill had a different type of feeling, and so did this one. It was easy to see how hardened connections was meant for digital signals, but my mechanist affinity expanded that capability, twi...

Chapter 94 In space with a junkyard ship

----

Feeling like shit, hoping it will pass, but there might not be a chapter tomorrow. Will notify on Discord if that's the case.

----

POV: Lola

“We will make it to the ship in approximately 10 minutes.”

All of us relaxed as soon as we heard that. There was a bit of a panic when we lost contact with Captain and Dean’s squad.

Remi did send a morse code type message telling us to continue to act like nothing was wrong, but it was so hard not to try to ...

Chapter 93 In space with a junkyard ship

POV: Dean

There had been only a few times when I had seen the captain worried, but right now he seemed beyond that. Through our bond, I started to speak to him, but he cut me off and instead spoke out loud.

“No communications through bonds. Someone’s after us and they’re closing. Don’t act out of character, we are just heading back.”

I could sense how we all tensed, but the last words made us focus back on our acting lessons. None of us believed those lessons neces...

Chapter 92 In space with a junkyard ship

Walking into this skill shop was a different experience. From the web, we knew that this one was the biggest skill shop in the city, but nothing could have prepared me for this.

The other shop I’ve been to was more like a place you would find in a mall. This one was the size of a large wholesale shop. At first, I just thought that it was part of some shopping complex because the building was so large, but no. There were just rows and rows that seemed to go on endlessly, filled with sk...

Chapter 91 In space with a junkyard ship

We didn’t hurry as we started to walk. Going at a reasonable pace was for the best, we also didn't move in a formation where I was at the centre. That would have brought too much attention. We didn’t want to stand out too much. Instead, we walked more like a regular group of friends.

While the other droids weren’t on the same level as Dean, they were a lot more complex than when they were first created. They still remained quite simple-minded, but that's for regular interactions. ...

Chapter 90 In space with a junkyard ship

In the armoury, I wasn’t the only one gearing up. Sam and Dean were here as well with their squads. While I took my time, they were already almost finished, soon after rushing out to secure our immediate surroundings.

While this place should be safe, the same principle goes like with the ship that tried to get close to us to take what was ours. A show of force would deter any who think we are an easy target.

“Captain, I have already detected and stopped three attempts of hacke...

Chapter 89 In space with a junkyard ship

POV: Princess Verrona, Captain of the Crimson Falcon

“We have shown our might once again. Foolishly, we were declared war upon. Our combined strength crushed that upstart, and now our position is even more secure than it was before.”

My father continued like that, praising all involved. He will switch up his narrative tomorrow and start punishing anyone who made even the smallest of mistakes during that battle. That other pirate lord wasn’t that stupid, making the fleet batt...

Chapter 88 In space with a junkyard ship

The endless darkness of the side dimension disappeared as we transitioned back. The next moment, on the command bridge, we all witnessed a bright sun appearing to our right.

It was always fascinating when you transitioned out of the side dimension and immediately could see something so bright, just because your transition was where its light had already travelled.

For everyone else that was around, the further away you were, the longer it would take them to see us, as we would jus...

Chapter 87 In space with a junkyard ship

----

No chapter tomorrow.

Dean’s attacks always came in at angles that you couldn't really completely deflect. Each time I knew that I couldn’t dodge them, they were going to hurt. Using my left side helped, as that was mostly cybernetic.

There was a bit less strength behind this blow; that probably meant he wanted to go for a leg kick to my right side. He had learned to pull away his hand as fast as possible, but I still managed to grab it enough to get mysel...

Chapter 86 In space with a junkyard ship

The current simulation showed us surrounded by flyers. These weren’t your regular ones that just try to swarm and claw their way through the shields. These ones were smart and had the capability of lobbing plasma balls that did some real damage.

When we got the AI to a point where we could start running simulations compared to where we were now, the difference was like night and day. Everyone was working together like they were a perfectly synched orchestra, with every member being a ...

Chapter 85 In space with a junkyard ship

“Red alert, red alert!”

“Unknown hostile vessels detected!”

Immediately on the command bridge, the view of the asteroids we were mining for some raw resources changed to a more tactical view as the approaching spaceships were detected.

“Everyone, get to battle stations!” I yelled and did so myself as well.

“Of cours,e there were going to be pirates. There is never an empty asteroid field,” Dean commented to Sam as they rushed to their station.

Chapter 84 In space with a junkyard ship

We have been in FTL for five days now. Not everything has been going as smoothly as I wished. There are some problems that have emerged. None of these are so bad that we can't fix them, but they are slowing us down as we haven't even had a chance to start assembling the workshop.

Mechanically everything is sound as we tested everything out thoroughly. The problem is the software side. So many programs are unoptimized, so FH, Lola and me have been working constantly to fix the unoptimize...

Announcement

Last night, I somehow managed to mess up my lower back so badly that there is no way I can write. So no chapter today. I hoped the night would fix it, but no such luck, at least it's not worse. Also, I guess no Poe 2 league for me :(

Chapter 83 In space with a junkyard ship

POV Lord Gundur VIII of the clan Gundur

“Sir, I think you should look at this,” one of my aides said. He seemed to have rushed here. It’s bizarre to see him so frazzled.

“Go ahead, this seems important.”

“Thank you, and sorry for this. I’m just—yes, I will begin. Captain Remi Graves just entered FTL about an hour ago.” That made me relax just a bit, although if he did something underhanded, I would be quite disappointed.

“He sent some final goodbyes...

Chapter 82 In space with a junkyard ship

“Forward Horizon, clearance granted,” came through the speakers. Thoron and I had already had our goodbye, but it seems like he wanted to get the last word, so to say, as I could recognise his voice giving us final clearance to leave.

There is a chance that I might need to get back here if our ship experiences some troubles, but I hope that didn’t happen. Outside, the lights went dark. I went over the readiness list, seeing that everyone had listed their station green.

All o...

POV: Pirate Commander of the 87 Combined Pillager Fleet

My bond to my ship was barely there. From what I could tell, at least half of it was open to vacuum. A lot of the non-central areas had already been depressurized, but not every part of the ship could, so that probably caused more damage.

None of this mattered. The ship was going t...

POV: Pirate Commander of the 87 Combined Pillager Fleet

I was tired of waiting. We have been on standby for almost a month now. We were a 96 strong fleet with almost all of us frigates that could dominate many engagements, yet my Pirate Lord Virory Shi was hesitant to use us just because most of the fleet was made up of new recruits.

A question, I have finished up the Mark II in Minecraft, well, somewhat finished. Would you all be more interested in pictures or video of me walking about inside the ship?

The noise of work all around me assaulted me, yet it wasn’t something that distracted me. Instead, the sounds were wonderful. It was the sound of electric motors pushing air to keep the drones flying. There was the constant sound of grinding and sparks crashing onto the floor, all types of assembly machines making different kinds of noises as t...

The grey portals looked unnatural even more so than the blue ones. We had been waiting here for about an hour, but hopefully this portal will refresh soon, as we had 11 others to clear in just a few days.

While we couldn’t be too picky, most of the ones we purchased were filled with monsters strong enough to hopefully help me push a lot clo...

Adding in this railgun afterwards would have been a true pain. The drones were putting the finishing touches on the supporting structure built to withstand the recoil force generated when firing this beast of a railgun. As for the railgun itself, only its outermost housing was done.

As I walked out of the third cave, it wasn’t a long way to the train station that would take me close to where my half-finished ship currently was.

As soon as we got off the airplane, something felt off. I was still getting the same amount of stares—that hadn’t changed—yet everyone, especially the dwarves, seemed agitated for some reason.

During the bus ride back, I mainly focused on this swirling power around my core that was slowly integrating, making me stronger. It felt like I had just taken a pack of stims for combat; my right hand had all its veins popping.

Closing my eyes helped, as it helped focus me, allowing me to somewhat help the coursing power integrate faster. Af...

As soon as the lizard monkeys noticed me, I fired, aiming at their bodies instead of their heads, as there was no point in making their heads disappear. My looting ability wouldn’t be able to make something that doesn’t exist into currency.

There was so little time between the kills that it was hard to concentrate. Whenever this ability o...
