Crap , I Was Rifted 17 My Power Up, And The Crew. Info Dump Chari & Mia Part 2

Cerebus Mission: Apprehend Mia Reward: Choice. Completed option to receive either her loyalty or order her to do one hit for you with a high success rate. The choice is yours.

(Let's go with the loyalty. I don't need to have an a.s.sa.s.sination done at this point. Plus I can buy one later or find someone else. Wonder what her loyalty can bring.)

System: Cerebus Mission: Apprehend Mia Reward: Loyalty

I stopped glancing at this and glimpsed above her chart. Raising my eyebrow at that last statement. I figured now was a good time to inform her. Interrupting her I told her as calm as I could "what switch do you have young lady, there isn't a switch. If you are talking about the device that was injecting element zero in your biosystem that has been removed since yesterday. Detoxing has already taken place." I let that sink in a little. She looked up at me like a dear caught in headlights.

"I was told I would die without that! What have you done!?" She screamed out, spit landing on my chart she swayed back and forth on the table.

'Dammit, she will hurt herself if I don't stop her!' I said to myself. I reached over laying her back done. Fluffing her pillow I gave her the rest of the news, "it was killing you slowly and keeping you togethor. Pretty bad set up actually it did give results combat wise but for your noggin well...."

System: Mia +10

I waited a few minutes and let that stew. Checking over her vitals, I came across her nutrition levels and they were horrible. It seems she was given combat pills for her bodies needs, according to the information the Cerebus node was sending me she was a guinea pig.

'How the h.e.l.l do I break this part to her!? Galtea options?' I panicked in my thoughts trying to figure something out.

Galtea: I would recommend for you to just tell her. Then give her s.p.a.ce offer treatment then go from there.

I move to get her a gla.s.s of water. Sitting her up, I fed it to her slowly. "Small sips your body is week right now. Your gonna wanna save your strength to kill me for stopping you. I understand you may not believe me with what I said but still, you need to get better..." I let that trail off. Removing my hand from her head I eased her back onto her pillow. Once she calmed down I begin to give her some more news.

"You were treated with an antimutagen to help stabilize you. Currently, your body is removing the last harmful traces of element zero. The rest of it is getting cycled into your biotics. Once everything is done you will be a powerful biotic, stronger than before mind you. But your body will need improvement. You are way too scrawny." Had to raise my hand up to cut her off before you started to yell. "Yes you are perfect for what you were doing before but I would a.s.sume you may wanna change that up. Am I wrong in thinking so? If you wish to leave, to return to Cerebus that is fine. You will not be stopped. How you deal with C-Sec well that's a different story and would be your problem. Next time we meer things may turn out differently. I will kill you no matter what. Sparing you before was to my personal benefit." Mia looked at me confused. I was not gonna tell her about the mission. In my best intimidating voice I could muster I said slowly, "killing you will straighten me out from sparring enemies, and let me know not all can be spared. Not everyone is worth it."

System: Persuasion 17 Intimidation 11

Observe: Mia Leng Lvl 10 Cerebus Infiltrator/Vanguard

Specialty: Hitman

Relations: a genetic clone of Kai Leng & Maya Brooks

Status: Agitated, scared, confused,

I gauge her reaction to all that info I just dump onto her lap. Seems it would be best to ask again later. "Excuse me I have some work to do. There are clothes right there at the base of your feet. I need to get some medicine for my personal team." With that, I went over to the box that I took my first upgrade from. A few smaller vials inside. Though a bit to myself, in less than a few seconds I remember what Galtea said for me to give the others, a flu shot more or less. Focusing my observe everything fit into place, as I thought. The contents were just a stimulant. No real adverse effects, a little immune booster.

Observe: Vaccine-V1

Specialty: Celluar compounder, antibody booster.

Relations: Unlocks Azul's companions abilities. Multiuse,

NonCompanions: Standard immunization shot. Decrease biotic stress at low levels.

The other me and Galtea already had it set up. Before I forget I should thank her and send a notification to Chari about the two new recruits that are coming.

'Galtea thanks for the a.s.sist on the vaccine, tell other me good job.' After sending her that mental message I grabbed two vials made sure I was dressed and move to the door. I looked over to address Mia, " take your time with your decision no rush. This place is relatively safe press the call b.u.t.ton if you want some food. I need to go talk to my personal crew for a bit. Try not to be to hard on yourself ok" Stepping out I quickly type up the message to Chari on my Omni-tool.

Looking around in the hallway this s.h.i.+p is pretty d.a.m.n clean. But the color scheme of metallic gray and silver is much to be desired. Eh, I shouldn't compare this to Star Trek s.h.i.+ps. But it is cool being on this s.h.i.+p and consciousness, not wounded, or not in control of myself. It's only a short walk with Alistair and Riku right across the hall from me. Taking a deep breath I prepared myself to comm using the outside device for Alistair room.

"Oh, Ah" now or never. "Alistair, it's Azul do you have a minute?" After a few seconds, the comm responds back with a level tone "come in boss."

Alistair had on standard Citadel clothing, in white with grey highlights. Form-fitting shoes and matching gloves. He had tablets all over the place open up to all different kinds of sites. Mostly agriculture, human history, the unity of races, politics for dummies, and whatnot. He is getting prepared for something. The most noticeable thing I could feel was his raw power. It washed off him in droves permeating the entire room. I let my observe check over him. After asking his permission of course.

"Alistair I am gonna check you over right quick, ok? Also, take this it will allow for the upgrades to start." Alistair just nodded ok. He kept reading a tablet he had.

Galtea: Alistair has given you full access to his history. Once you are stronger your observe will become more detailed.

Observe: Alistair. No Surname.

t.i.tles: Knight, ????, ?????, ????, ????

Specialty: Dragoon/Soldier/????

Relations: Squire recruited by Ramza B. Fought until the very end. Accompanied Ramza until the unit was disbanded with Ramza taking his sister with him and his inner circle. ( Special Character's list will be posted in the author's thoughts.) As his former party had to fend for themselves. They were left with all the loot and weapons of the last battle. Ramza argued with the items and wealth they would do quite well. Alistair attempted to keep the group safe but with the remaining knights of the church and kingdom hunting down all those who knew of what happened life was miserable. Alistair remained, after years of running and loss of friends and family he staged an a.s.sault on a church compound freeing the enslaved public. He released several artifacts amongst those who were imprisoned and told them to run to all corners of the world spreading what happened. Holding his ground at the church he was mortally wounded. Thrown into a cell and stripped of everything he awaited his fate. High King Delita order magics of the foulest kinds to be used to ascertain the whereabouts of Ramza, and his cohorts. In the first year, a hint from all that was extracted placed them across the seas.

Status: Contemplative, Questioning, Calm

Companion Status: Loyal Alistair: 140

"Holy f.u.c.k man, you have dealt with some s.h.i.+t!" Alistair looked up at that. I stopped waving the Omni-tool over him and moved to take a seat. " Alright give a few minutes business is almost done then we can get down to personal stuff." After informing him of that I asked Galtea If there was a way to isolate conversations. 'Wanna be able to talk with him without giving suspicions at the very least. So can you put up a buffer?'

Galtea: Yes that is easily doable. With the use of the Auxillary System, you can hide in place sight dialogue with your companions. I will set it up with the other you to talk medical knowledge while you and Alistair have a conversation. To the outside view, it will display both of you talking about medical history and catching up.

'Thanks that will work.' I visibly relax in front of Alistair trying to get comfortable. "OK, business is taken care of." I reach my hand out to him "you can call me Azul Sunstrider or boss whatever you are more comfortable with. Good to meet you officially. Without any rush or anything. You have already helped me so far how can I help you?"

Alistair d.a.m.n near jumped out his seat at my statement. He stood up and saluted.

"My Lord I wouldn't dare address you so casually. The very ground you walk on is sacred my G.o.d! There isn't much I really need. All have been provided that I can think of your eminence!" Allistair yelled out at me.

My face dropped what the h.e.l.l is going. This can't be happening. I got stuck with a brown noser yes man. I smacked my hands to my face repeatedly to try to wake up from this delusion. Before I could pull my self togethor I heard laughing and snickering.

Looking up I saw Alistair snickering in his salute. The laughing was coming from Galtea.

Galtea: My apologies User. I could not pa.s.s up the chance to pull what your people call pranks. It was a first for me. 'he hee he' Do not be to upset with Alistair it was a way for him to determine if you were worth following since you are partially Beoulve. That and Riku told him as well to lighten up.

"Wow you to really... that's... you know what? You got me I seriously thought he was gonna be one of those brown nosers. Heh not bad I guess. So I am partially Beoulve, did the System due that for convenience. Will it allow me to move about there easier. I look to Alistair he had a more serious gaze as he sat back down looking at me.

Galtea: As a User yes you could say that. In that Universe, you are born part of the major family 1st original branch. Your Blood is more potent than Ramza and or his father for that matter. Your branch was killed before Ramza graduated the Akademy and you yourself went missing. That is how history unfolds. When you arrive there history has a place for you already. When Alistair joined you a part of your soul went to fuse with you there. The transition there will barely affect you, as compared to a place that has not been prepped for your arrival. Also, there is a small mission that can take place now. For you to go there without interfering with this timeline.

"Azul, my apologies for that. I want you to know that helped me understand some things about you." Alistair said to me in a cool tone pausing before continuing. "There is something I would like you to do for me. Well several and I believe it will help your cause as well. Help save my village and loved ones. Help stop the demons from using the church and its people."

Such a strong resolve it was quite commendable. "You got it, I plan to do that anyway. With your help, I shoul be able to help some or at least your people. We both know A history there so we have a little advantage. After the few changes, what we do... it's gonna be a mystery. As what will happen to the world as a whole so... be prepared for that. Also your way more powerful than me. I recommend focusing on expanding your knowledge like you are doing now. But Biotics are new for you so don't neglect that. From my understanding when we travel to your world. You will be in your younger version of yourself, just like you are now so the synchro rate for your growth will skyrocket."

"Yes that is what me and Riku were told. In mere moments with what we purchase from the store will kick in. Also, Galtea said me and Riku when we travel our bodies will go place to place gaining more power. We get to decide how much we leave with the previous." Alistair gathers his thought for a second. "You are right about the biotic's they are different. Thanks for this vial I will start the upgrade now."

"Ah wait before that." I need to get him that implant. 'Galtea can you acquire an Implant that would suit him from the shop. or would it be better to make one in the lab?

Galtea: Check your pocket there is a standard one in there. It is a basic one that comes with Instructions. The components to make a better one for him are on its way.

I walk over and place my hand on the back of his neck and start the process for the temporary implant. It attaches at the nape of his neck and a little drill sounds goes off with a little suction. He never made a peep.

System: Medical Check 17

We talked about general topics for an hour or so while I finished up. Alistair was ok. Serious lack of fun time but he really didn't have a choice in that matter. He understood what was expected of him and I knew what I had to accomplish for him. Ir was a pretty cut and dry situation.

System: Alistair +221

"I will place a good one in the coming days it will require surgery. I wanna be completely ready to do it ok." I am not about to risk his life without some back up in case something goes wrong.

Alistair just gives me a nod before moving the vial to his arm. Injecting himself with the vial he lays back down and start's to read from a tablet on the bed. I caught sight of it as I left the room. It was an article on aerobics and gymnastics.

'He is gonna be a very dangerous Dragoon in the future.' I thought to myself as I made my way down the hallway to visit Riku.

I use the intercom but no response. 'Where is she I wonder?' I turn back to go down the hall the other direction heading to the lift. Perfect time to go visit the rest of the crew if she isn't there in her room.

"Pew" That sounded like a gunshot.

"Thump" That sounded like a body drop.

Is that coming from my room? "What the h.e.l.l?!" I yell out to no one in particular as I rush into my room. I was not expecting what greeted me.

There stood Riku standing on top of a table. Blood dripping down her side with a scalpel embedded in it. Slipp on the ground with a pistol pointed at her head by Mia with a scorched mark by her head from a shot. Tablets were broken and the desk was flipped over. My bed had some weird c.r.a.p on it don't know what but it was bubbling and smoking.

System: Auxilary field stopped.

Galtea: User head to the hanger your people have arrived. The field was disabled your actions are required.

System: Willpower Check 5 Adrenaline Rush, Lv4 73 /110

My Biotics flared up. I just let it all go out at the three who should be resting and wrecked my lab. If they had in them to do all this that means they can take the additional pain. My Soul/Pyscho power reached out grabbing ahold of them. I wanted to hurt them but my soul power sent me Mia state which was bad. My pyscho power let me know Slipp was way past agitated from something. Her state of mind was erratic. To keep from making it worse I pulled back my desire to hurt them and focused on trying to clear there mind a little.

System: Mental Cleansing Lv2 321/3000

"Riku lay the f.u.c.k down for I can stop that bleeding! Mia place that gun down now! And lay yer a.s.s back down your suppose to be resting! Slipp get off the d.a.m.n floor and check over Mia's condition your a doctor this is not a f.u.c.king request either!" I bellowed at the three as I move to help Riku.

System: Intimidation Check 33

System: Riku +390 Mia +221 Slipp +165

Mia responded first putting the gun down as she lay back down to a more relaxed position. She never took her eyes off me. Riku laid down soon as I touched her. She had a smile on her face despite having a scalpel in her. "This may sting a little." Riku just nodded.

System: Medical Check 22

"Slichk" the scalpel slid out. It was deep in her side. As I removed the blade out of her focusing my biotics to keep the blood flow at a slow pace. A thought came to mind so I asked Galtea. 'Galtea giving her the vaccine and letting the upgrades take place will it help with the process?'

Galtea: Yes it will. With your biotics at play, it will move and even accelerated pace.

'Gotcha, figured as much.' I looked up to Riku who was watching my hands at work on her wound. I reached in my pocket and moved the vial up to her wound. Before starting to explain clearly what will happen. Riku places her hands on mine and stabbed the tip in her wound.

"Oh, boss it feels good for you to poke me," Riku said huskily but teasingly. Before I could respond she started to tell me, "it's ok Boss your biotics are giving me a general idea of how you feel right now. We can talk later. Oh, look at that.... the wound is all closed up. Boss you got let me go I know I'm s.e.xy but don't get all handsy some girls don't like that." She jumped off the table and moved to the door. She looked back towards Mia, " we will talk later ok?"

Mia gave her a slight nod before turning away from her. Slipp continued to work on her getting her vitals back up from what I can see.

"Oh, Boss don't fret too much about things. We will get things handle ok." Riku said as she walked out the door. Before closing, she looked back and winked at me.
