Ficool

Chapter 11 - Returning to the Citadel Part 1

System: Synchronization Complete.

"Ughh my mouth tastes funny," Azul said sitting up from off the wall. "Did I fall asleep on my stool?"

"Hey, newbie come on your gonna be late for your doctor's appointment," Chari says as she drops a bag in front of him. Looking around she entered the room. "Hey, you ok?" She asked leaning in.

"Yeah, I am good." Looking her up and down he couldn't believe his eyes. "Gods your a fucking knock out. Woman you literally represent female sin." Azul couldn't help but saying out loud.

It would be a while before she completely synched up with her self. Especially since she only had a little memory of anything besides Super Robot Taisen and what happened before. Galatea explained that it had increased her soul exponentially. Right now it was empty but that wouldn't be a problem with Azul being close by. She would receive any and all memories that they shared causing the process to speed up.

"Right.. thanks.." Chari said taking the compliment. She posed for him. She didnt know why but appreciates the look that gave her. Considering regular man couldn't deal with her bodies increased density. "I am about 180 pounds of muscle. It doesn't take away from me being female I take it?"

Stong supple muscle that looks like they could break a desk in half with ease. Her jeans and shirt were even baggy and one could tell the shape of her body perfectly. The bad part she wasn't even trying. It looks like she just threw it on.

System: Charm Check 23 Pass

"Holy Shit you look way to fit to be real. How fucking dangerous are you? How the hell did you get like that?" Azul asked with a bright smile. 'Such an interesting woman and specimen my mind wants to know more. It yearns to study her genetically, to break her down and see her Evolutionary path molecule by molecule. Heh, that is only a fleeting thought. I already know how to cure her. Just will take some time to get the resources to do so.'

Chari +67

Chari just blinked at him. "Rookie flattery will only get you so far, get dress it's time to go. I will wait outside for 3 minutes, any longer and I am gone." She turns around and giving him a little privacy. Azul was already throwing his clothes down. Using his biotics he pushed the other clothes into his science locker.

He was already dressing put stopped to look at Chari who was in the hall she was staring. He then wanted to confirm some things again. 'Galtea why do I have an interest more in her molecular makeup than I do instead of what's in her jeans, her or for that matter her as a person?' He gazed at her with his peripheral vision, everything about her drew his attention more and more. Her arms were normal size, but with a single flex, he could see the outline of her veins a little. Could also see a type of data chart around them, couldn't really make heads or tail of it last time but right now he could. My mind started sending information about her grip.

Observe: Grip strength able to punch through concrete casually. More info needed on the subject... Info found.. the subject has excess sugar levels. Recommendation for a change in diet.

"Deep breaths, no matter how amazing a woman looks gotta remember she could kill me with ease, so no touchy, touchy." After saying that he finished changing and brush his teeth. Couldn't help looking at myself in the mirror it definitely looks like me. But just way healthier and fit. Fewer burns marks on his chest this time. Heading into the hall Azul noticed Chari is just standing looking at the ground. She looked sad.

"Hey if you have something you need to take care of go ahead I don't wanna waste your time. You look like something is troubling you." His tone came out very concerned since he knew wat was bugging her. "I know your busy with your security work so its ok.

Chari +12

"No it's fine I have my orders. Let's get to it." Chari paused for a bit before she got that out and walks away. "Make sure you keep up."

"Rightio Mam." Azul cheerfully says to her. 'Ok Galtea explain everything again.'

'Well damn, that's a lot of info and goodies.' Before AzulI could talk more towards Galtea and review he was pulled from his thoughts.

"You have been busting your butt, on your work in the Science Room. As well as helping in the Armory. Good job, I am looking forward to what you can get accomplished, Science Officer." Chari seems a little more chipper. 'Actually, since they have been in this shuttle on our way to the main deck at the Citadel she has been all smiles. It is very refreshing.' Azul gave her a smile. "No problem. Happy to help you."

'Galtea while we have been traveling, I have been able to review what's going outside my mind as well as go over the info that's changing in real-time, how is that possible already?' Azul thought it would take awhile before he had full control of that.

Galtea: Your active mind has fully mended. Your Sub mind was taking the info as needed to keep you from being completely helpless in situations, such as if you were caught under a spell of confusion or if you were befuddled. Also how you found yourself in lab clothes when your mind fragmented off and went off to do the Tutorial. You were on Autopilot you could say. You will be able to control both at once in higher detail soon. However, the more you allow the autopilot to take over the more (You) will fall into the background. All of your abilities and knowledge will come more to the surface, and your personality will fall in the background.

'That's pretty awesome actually. Well, might as well find some things out and get some problems taken care of.' Azul thought he was missing something. 'What was that last part? How the hell do I fix that?' He already knew how to fix but was just getting clarification.

Galtea: By staying true to yourself and who you are. You can also spend System points as well if you believe you are having trouble that is the best option.

"Chari you are fucking hot and scary, but also really awesome. So I am sorry for the things I said about you before, but I am probably gonna say things like it in the future, or worse depending on my mood. I am not good with a filter. So yeah.." Azul said smiling. "You are pretty chill though."

Chari +60

"Don't sweat it actually someone like that is a little refreshing. As good as I get, I can give even more so in spades. So don't sweat it. But just be careful with the crew we are a difficult family. You got it?" Chari said looking over once. "You not so bad yourself. Honest, I like that in squaddie."

"No problem Mam, I'll keep it in mind." Settled back in, Azul reengaged with Galtea. 'Let's open the Tutorial package +, you do the honor's Galatea.' He was really nervous now. He can't wait to see what was all there.

Galtea: Opening Tutorial Package +... Companion Slot + 1.... Companion Pull 1 Random... Weapon 1 Melee... Armor 1... Accessory 1 ... Auxiliary Pull 1 Random. Applying Companion Slot +1... Capacity now at 0/3. Would you like to start drawing? If so which one?

'Explain what the pulling is? Finally, some answers and free stuff while I can remember. Let's do the Weapon Pull first, then the Armor, then Accessory..and then the Auxiliary last. I don't have any gear and I may be able to save some money.' Azul couldn't help getting gleeful. 'Let's wait on that Companion Pull for just a bit, don't know how I would explain a person popping out of nowhere all of a sudden, or Heaven's forbid me having them in the Inventory and them being dead.'

Galtea: None of this is free you earned this through the tutorial and also through interactions.

Weapon Pull commencing... Bonus for first pull in a category... Long Spear-Upgradable...Unique

Armor Pull commencing... Bonus for first pull in a category... Iron Clothing-Upgradable.... Material found for Unique Occupation...Occupation Unlocked Fledging Geneticist Intelligence + 1. Deconstructing repurposing Biotic Clothing/Science Gear auto repair...Unique

Accessory Pull commencing... Bonus for first pull in a category... Diamond Bracelet-Unique.

Galatea: Your Companion would not die in your inventory when they are first pulled. They are put into stasis until they are removed from your inventory. If a unique tie is found between them and yourself they are able to fit within the world you are or a suitable host is found the Auxiliary System will write them into place the same as you were done. The Auxiliary System will also explain the situation to them why they are here and how they came to be in the place they were summoned.

'That's pretty wicked. Well then. Use Companion pull now!' Azul got super excited and wonder if the pull was gonna work how they wanted.

Galtea: Companion Pull commencing... Bonus for first pull in a category... special connection detected Ramza Beoulve. Ramza has denied summons. Returning pull...pulling again.. connection detected Azul has agreed. Azul has received a bonus for being a loyal follower and his faith in you. Pull was molded after User during play.. adding additional scenarios...Auxiliary System is informing him about his duties. Receiving additional bonus due to being a mercenary. The scenario is unfolding, the companion is now in Final Fantasy Tactics War of The Lions.

'Hmm, I know these names. System how were they decided? This is interesting. Are they being pulled from my saved data and do they have their abilities? With all the data that I have the possibilities are endless and damn near chaotic as well.' Azul wanted to understand just what had changed.

Galtea: They are decided based on recent game data you have in your mind. Afterward, the pull's will go further back. Random pulls will gather at well ...random. To eliminate the random pull you can designate specifically towards a universe however it will downgrade the pulling power and quality. In this case the pull denied the request. So the System searched again and found a mtach that fit your desires. A version that you viewed as your self.

'So random is better very well. I look forward to meeting my future companion's.' Azul couldn't lie to himself or Galtea. The future was looking so much better. He was healthy and meeting the craziest of people and going to places he would never be able to go to before.

"Welcome to the Citadel please enjoy your stay." A young man in his teens said to the as they got out of the buggy.

"Come on we can't be late for your appointment." Chari moves up and starts a brisk walk while she beckons Azul to follow her.

"Huh" I couldn't help muttering as my vision goes a little blurry, AzuI stumbled a little bit.

System: Constitution Check 23 Pass Perception Check 22 Pass

Azul saw that the young man that he greeted them earlier had ran up and bumped into him. A small injection could be seen on his left wrist.

Galtea: The poison that was introduced in your body is manifesting, caution is a must.

A quarian woman was rushing by and helped him. "Are you ok? If you are sick you should get some help. This stimulant should be able to help you. Your immune system should get a little boost. Your friend should be able to help you. Sorry I have to go." The voice was that of Tali as she injected Azil with something and went on her way.

Faking the poisoning sucked but he wanted to get the side quest done. Going down he act worse than what he felt. He could hear the twins laughing at him.

Azul could hear footsteps once again. Chari got close enough to help him up. "Tali" he managed to say, he pretended it was getting hard to breathe. He could see some guys chase after her. They look like they are going to the entertainment district. As he feigned collapsed, was mumbled to Chari "help Tali. Be careful."

"Are you ok? Are your symptoms getting worse? Who the hell is Tali? Answer me, you idiot." Chari shakes Azul until she throws him over her shoulder and run's to an elevator. She started talking into her Omni-Tool to someone but he couldn't make anything out.

Galtea: Disabling body temporarily due to confusion.

Azul woke up moments later as he found himself in a room in a medical bed with a man looking over him he didn't seem to happy. Closing his eyes quickly he focuses. He could hear the sound of the moment and a few people whimpering. His ability kicked in despite his eyes having been closed.

Galtea: You caught info information with your eyes. Good job. There is an Operative Doctor moving around. He has a heavy pistol in his clothes. If it wasn't for observe I think you were gonna get snatched up. Around the room, there are a few medical tablets here and there. Also a surgery kit.

Peeping his eyes open to see everything she just said he felt and then noticed what was on his arm. An IV in his arm. If he waited to long it was gonna get quite difficult.

"Subject Twenty-One we don't know how you escaped from the facility but that implant is my property and I want it back. With that data, I could overthrow the admiralty board naysayers and get the board on my side. So be a good boy and lay still." The Operative damn near snarls this at Azul as he approaches.

System: Quest escape the Doctor without using System abilities. Reward Unknown.

"Oi where is the woman?" I say groggily feels like I have sand in my mouth.

"Worrying about a woman you should worry more about yourself first." The doctor says as he pulls a tube with prongs and a scalpel from his back. "Out of anesthesia so this is gonna hurt."

'I woke up way sooner this time. He hasnt gotten the chance to kill the staff members.' Azul thought. As if reading his thoughts the system sent him a Paragon option. On his left was a bed pan in blue. On his right was dimly lit needle set. 'Oh boy.. bed pan it is. It better not be full.'
