I was spending some more time trying to use my "glow" for another different purposes than simply glow. It was so frustrating; trying to achieve something without knowing what I want for.
With that time spent the evening came.
Sybilla, please, three sixty scan; I need some place to sleep, secured if is possible.
On it.
In my HUD appears some many places.
Unmark those that farer than two kilometers, those that doesn't have any cover of any kind and those that looks like obvious shelters, please.
What will you call obvious shelters?
Those that have more than two walls are enough secured to be considered targets, and now that they know there are some enemy outhere.
Ohh… Well saw, ok, unmarking. Unmarked, there are still eight suitable places.
Ok, let's check them all.
We start to wander the streets, the first shelter was a bus stop with a leaky tile roof. Cozy but I thought to many, it maybe could catch some unwanted attention. Second was a ruined and broken sculpture made of bronze, it perhaps represented some historical figure of Karlsland.
Next third place was near to the second, just a few hundred meters; it looks like it was a tram. This place would be nice because it offers a full view of this part of the town and it was made of iron sheets so is better cover than the other two.
Because I start to feel tired I chose the tram.
I let my backpack against one of the tattered seats and place my MG over it, then I seated in the seat beside it.
My equipment is too much heavy, you really think that imagine that "glow" will help me with the weight?
Do you remember the movie? That little Fusoan girl can't carry her old MG without magic but when the witches activates their magic can carry heavy equipment like they were so liviane.
Yeah, but the point is I can't do that. I don't know if a familiar is necessary to perform that.
Trust me, it's not necessary. You only need some training and research.
Uh, ok, but that's even harder than my degree.
I know I know, you are not used to imagine things outside a logical structure you are use to think. Try again to imagine the glow.
Ok, I'll try again.
I close my eyes and began to imagine my sphere like before an start to feel the adrenaline discharge like before, then I try to imagine that "energy flowing through myself until it covers me entirely.
Look, it works.
I opened my eyes and see a thin glowing blue layer over my body.
Ugh, if I had known that would so easy I wouldn't be doing those weirds tests and tries.
If you were know that you didn't need to research your reach.
Now I have to test if my equipment's weigh.
I gathered my backpack again and my MG to check the feeling. Better, much better. Now I can't feel that so heavy weigh so now with this "cheat" I gained more mobility and agility. Now it's time to eat some and sleep some time. I unpacked a can of something like canned beef and start to find the overture. I couldn't because there were not even invented yet. I sighed, my stomach growled and my had grabbed a bayonet as response. Then I stabbed the top of the can, and with my new unmeasured strength I sank the entire blade into the can.
Ohh, fug, I will have to get used to my new strength.
Wow, I didn't expect you were so hungry.
That's no my fault, I didn't thought about it.
Ok ok, sorry. Heh… Now try to move the bayonet around the top.
With my new strength I start to move the blade, it stucks and I applied more strength so as anybody except me could expects to occurs; the blade breaks out on the other side of the can spreading all the content to the floor of the tram.
-FUCK!-
Calm down. It could happen to anybody, it just was an accident.
But it happens to me… I, maybe just have to deactivates the magic. How I do that?
What? Do the opposite to when you activates it.
Ugh… Why everything have to be so difficult?
Relax, you have all the time you will need.
Why the enemies are not comestibles?
What? You really want to "eat" neurois?
No, it just, … *sigh*… That maybe if it was like that, I will never have to find food.
Yeah, I get it, but unfortunately it is like that.
I unwrap the can to make a makeshift plate then I put the food on it, it's not like I can get sick so I started to eat that "food thing". The smell was no so bad, perhaps my new enhanced senses show me a subtle scent, low but good. The taste was no so good but I had to gulp it because I was so hungry. Now before sleep time comes the explanation time.
Tell me Sybilla. What's the real purpose of having me combating here? What are you? And more important what will happen to me when I fulfilled the mission?
Am.. Ok. First; I am a… Supervisor. For a better word. I am a being that supervises races in determinants planets and in certain occasions help to rise technology for the civilization that lives in that planet. There are a lot like me but to much far away, too much light years away… When a threat appears to our designated civilization we are authorized to make almost everything to ensure the civilization rise. So when the kaii appear I became so worried I had to find a countermeasure for that I make decisions that maybe not were so "ethic" but it were necessary.
Like what? I interrumps.
Like force the operation Bifrost…
The what?
The emergency evacuation of Karlsland. It was in order to preserve the bigger amount of lives as possible.
…
Next question; your purpose here is act behind of "scenery" to ensure the victory, they have to no know about your existence. Maybe it will change with the situation but for now, your existence and your personal war will remains "personal". So nobody have to know about your operations perhaps until war ends. Understood?
I lowered my head and responds Ok, understood.
Good, Now the last question. When I decide that you had fulfilled your mission I let you come back to your world; only if you still wants to come back.
What means that? Why I will choose to not come back to home?
I simply think that war changes people…
-But war… The war never change…- I smiled in my inner mind.
I don't get that reference. If it was. Could you let me scan your memory for it?
Yeah, is not funny make references and jokes if nobody can understand it.
Scanning… Oh… Haha, I got it. Nice reference.
Then I only remember fall asleep. A few sunrays awokes me.
Umm… What time is it?
Before anybody will can answer I took my cell phone and look the screen. I was 0:14?
What the frag? Karen, can you synchronize my calendar data with the today's date in this world?
Ohh. You are awake, yes I can, but do not think that you must to conservates your battery?
Fug, that's right.
I turned off the cell phone. Then I get all my equipment and go to say good morning to the new dawn.
