And thus I fulfill a promise! I will NOT allow myself to be lost in Manhwa!... for now. Instead, let's get going faster, with a better Jet!

Winning vote, of course, goes here.

Spoiler: Winning Vote

[X] Work on Jet (Costs 2 Actions)

Now, let's have a productive day, aye?


It was nine in the morning, and you were struggling to decide what to do with your... let's call it 'freetime' between Wu hinting.

Oh, sure, you acknowledged that there was a LOT you could be adding or improving to pretty much anything you owned, but that was kinda the problem.

How can you start to prepare for something you don't know is coming?

Going to the Jungle? Hope you packed your monkey antivenom, cause the local species gained that trait due to its high Snake diet!

Want to dress for summer? GUESS WHO'S GOING TO THE ARCTIC!

Lungs can't handle the depths of space? Guess who has to go to the MOON.

You were willing to admit the last one was a bit to ludicrous to be anywhere approaching true, but you of all people were WELL aware of the being known as Murphy, and how much he just LOVED to make everything worse.

And thus, here you were sitting in your Lab, in front of a large White board where you usually kept early blueprints of your newer bots, as well as maps to local hotspots, like bakeries, tech centers, and Kitty World (If only for an easy way to appease Kristen), now instead filled to the brim with ideas on what to do today.

Some of the 'bigger' ideas caught your attention for a few moments, but were quickly discarded as too time consuming for the moment.

'How would I even get a satellite that well positioned? Or rather, how would I get t DOWN each time. Bah.'

You shook your head once again to get rid of the stray scheme, focusing on the here and now.

'Medical center would be good, but that only helps me if I can get back HERE injured, not where-ever I go...could make a Doc-Bot, but that runs the risk of going AWOL like the others, and NO-ONE wants a robot with medical knowledge getting loose...I would need a quick and fair sized machine to get any..thing.' "...HELLO." You thought before suddenly speaking out.

You turned your attention away from the whiteboard and brought it almost directly behind you, where lo and behold, the Jet you had somehow crafted sat looking pretty. You allowed a sharp grin to make its way to your face as the visions of what you needed to do danced in your head.

With a start, you vaulted yourself over your Evil sofa, ordered your Jackbots to bring you your tools and snacks, and began to SCIENCE.

Time skip: 8 Hours

It was finally done. You had attached the last hinge, and filled the last syringe you needed. And what have you, it was beautiful.

By expanding the once lone cargo bay located near the rear of the jet, now sat a small, almost cubical sized detachment, held to the ship through a combination of maglocks, hinges, and good old fashioned welding.

The purpose of this addition? A portable heal bay stocked up with antibacterials, antidotes, and even a few experimental concoctions of the less than healthy variety in case of sudden attacks.

Course, the shape itself and its contents could only fold in so much to such a small jet, so the overall speed of the Jet went down, oh, somewhere around 15% for now? But while not able to push the sound barrier, it was still hella fast, so you think it was worth it. Besides, you could just tinker with the design some more later. Who knows, maybe you'd finally make your dream of flying around in a giant robot a reality? Course, you had done it before at your Grandparents, but that was different. You wanted to build one of your Own.

But know wasn't the time for thinking about future giant robots and attachable helicopters, now was the time for lunch, or at least a late dinner as one of your Bots told you the time.

8 hours.. not the best, but certainly better than most anyone else could say.

"Hmmm. I'm thinking pasta tonight." You said as you began to walk up the stairs.

However, you did not get to complete this action, as you felt the tell-tale feeling of cold and Powerlessness that was characteristic of Wuya flying through you, nearly causing you to fall down the stairs, if not for the timely grabbing of the metal side rail.

"WHAT THE HELL WUYA! YOU TRYING TO KILL ME! AT LEAST..!" What you were about to yell was cut off as you actually got a look at Wuya.

To start with, her eyes were glowing like search lights shining through fog, only broken up by some symbol you couldn't identify cause of the bright light. The second was how her normally closed mouth mask was wide open, revealing the 'drawn' fangs to be as sharp as they looked, and to lead into what could only be described as an Absence of Color. As if there was Nothing there. It disturbed you the most of the entire situation.

Thankfully, you didn't have long to think about the horrifying Absence for long, as you were soon caught up in her next words.

"THE NEXT SHEN GONG WU HAS REVEALED ITSELF! IT IS...THE LASSO BOA-BOA! HIDDEN IN ITS DEN!"

You were struck by the sudden proclamation of a new Wu, but quickly grew excited as you began to shout;

[] Yes! Lets Hunt!: Go after the Wu, gain three chances to Search for, Set up Traps to Guard, and Talk/analyze with the Natives about, the Wu Unhindered.

[]No! Skip this Hunt! Complete the Week; WARNING! IF YOU CHOOSE THIS, IT WILL RESULT IN THE REVERSAL OF WUYA'S CONFIDENT RANK, AND MAY CAUSE UNKNOWN PROBLEMS.

END OF CHAPTER

Gained:

Medical Jet Bay; Medium: A Medium sized addition to your jet that comes equipped with medicines, antidotes, and remedies both Man-made and Natural. However, due to its added size and weight, the Jet now moves 15% slower than it previously did. To remedy this, continue to modify the Jet.

End of Gains.

AND FINALLY, THE WU HUNT PROCKS! I'M SURPRISED IT TOOK THIS LONG! But what are ya going to do, that's how it crumbles sometimes.

Now, before you go hunting for the Lasso, allow me to explain this choice a little clearer to those who are curious.

If you select yes, you will go to the area the Lasso is hidden, and pretty much go through the same process of searching and obtaining Wu like we did in Thailand, at least, actually OBTAINING the Wu this time. During these actions, things will happen in response to them, and you also get the chance to gain new perks or flaws, meet people, or even gain Confident Ranks with new people.

If you choose No, we will finish the Week of choices, ie Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, gaining all their benefits. Then, we would choose the NEXT week, and restart the vote until the next Wu activates. However, be aware that choosing this option can have unintended effects as well, as previously stated. The only one I'm gonna tell you upfront is the regression of Wuya's Confident Link, which you DO NOT WANT TO GET TO LOW. The rest you have to guess yourselves.

With that said, I hope you're all enjoying my work so far, and I hope to see you all vote! Until Then!
