I huffed as I used the enhanced strength of the essence of the king to bend the final plate of ceramite into the shape I desired with a grinding sound, I looked over the deep blue coloured mechanical arm with a grin before grasping it by the forearm and bringing it up to the remains of my arm.
From the connection point of the prosthetic hundreds of small cables and wires sprout and reach for the stump before pushing into my skin and connecting to my nervous system in a flash of pain, when it was secure I took a deep breath to steady myself for the next part.
A rod of pure mana steel extended from the connection point and I pushed it into the wound on my stump, this rod acted as the connection point between my arm and the prosthetic while also being a perfect conductor for both electricity and magic meaning I could still use magic if I learnt how but would also allow for this.
In the ball of my palm sat a blue orb with what looked like clockwork gears and cogs happily ticking away, in actuality it was a bead of condensed time that when a electric current passed through it would either slow or accelerate time to anything connected to it like for instance a robotic hand and arm conncented perfectly to a human body.
I had made a prosthetic that could control my own personal time while one handed and stuck in the middle of a forest, I could just imagine the increasingly bullshit things I could do if I had a proper lab and machines.
I sighed as the pain stopped and I was able to focus properly on my surroundings, I stood and looked around at where I had found myself and had to stop myself from screaming in anger as I saw a very distinct symbol painted on the side of the piece of metal that had killed my pursuer.
It was a double headed eagle of gold inlade on a black circle, I was looking at the golden Aquila of the imperium of man's symbol on a destroyed Lander it looked like.
I walked closer to the place where all the metal looked to have came from and was both surprised and complete unsurprised at the crashed ship I found halfway embedded into a mountain not even a kilometre away from where I had builty arm.
I walked up to the side of the ship (it would barely be called anything more than an escort by the imperium as it was only a kilometre in size) and used my metal arm to grab a section of the wall and rip it open with brute force.
It took quite a bit of force to open a hole but what could you expect from an actual spaceship, I took a step in and was blasted with the smell of decomposing bodies as I looked around what seemed to be a medical centre that had been long abandoned.
There were bodies all over the place, some in rag and nothing more while some were dressed it what looked like uniforms of the imperial Navy, among them were a select few I white and red robes with with almost all of their body replaced with mechanical parts that still slowly floated around checking the bodies one at a time.
I made sure to not be in any of their lines of sight as I made my way through the area and out into a massive hallway that spanded a good 500 metres, I activated the time bead and sped down the hall trying to find the bridge in hopes of at least somebody being alive but when I arrived I was saddly disappointed as all the bodies inside were weel past what even I could do beyond straight up bringing them back from the dead and I didn't know how that would work with the warp taking their souls after death.
I sighed and deactivated the time bead before making my way to the command chair and pushing the dead bloke off it and taking his seat, I didn't have the implants that a captain would have had to interact with this ship so I didn't bother doing it the normal way, instead I reached into the otherplace and pullout some things to get to work.
Line break
I spent about ten minutes on the device and when I was done I was left with a tablet like device similar to a data slate but much better, I grabbed one of the cables from the command chair and plugged it into the table before requesting a damage report from the machine spirit of the ship.
It asked who I was and how I had survived a unprotected warp jump/ crash landing and I answered that I was a native to this planet and not among its original crew, I was swiftly locked out of the system after that but I had already bypassed the machine spirit and gotten a report myself.
The ship was fucked, no single part of it was undamaged except its secondary backup power that was already running low and would cut out in less than a day in it wasn't repaired, It hull was beyond compromised and it's crew was all beyond dead at this point.
I took a moment to think over all the things I'd need to do to repaired this ship and a grin grew on my face as I imagined the improvements I could do to it, I messaged the machine spirit with my still connected data slate that I was going to start repairs and got a dismissal in response but I didn't care.
I sttof from the throne and with a skip in my step made my way to the engine room while creating something while I walked, in my hands a small core formed and from this core a jello like liquid started flowing from the tiny gapes present all over its body.
I dropped the core when it started forming it's body and watched it as it grew to become a full organisms made of a deep green slime, I had created a slime able and restricted to eating dead bodies (specifically dead bodies) to grow and multiply, it's slime when harvested would act as a incrediblly potent would sealer and act as a disinfecter as well.
I let the little guy loose on the ship with only the instruction to heal any living beings it finds and continued on my way to the engine hopwing the slime would clear out all of the dead bodies and remove the rotting smell while it worked.
