It watched as the beings all began to settle in their lives, they were of no consequence, the only ones that mattered were the humans, humans that had spent far too long inside it, they needed to rest, but it had no way of ejecting them.

This wasn't a game, not anymore.

It needed to find a world, someplace safe, but not too safe, the humans liked worlds that had some form of danger, after all, why would the play games that actively put them in dangerous situations.

Even these extras were proof of it, so it began to search amongst the many memories it now had, some worlds were beautiful by human standards, but had so many factions and political happenings that they were eliminated from its options, some were literal hells, finally there were the dead and dying worlds.

The dead worlds were eliminated, the dying ones were perfect.

The humans would have a certain monopoly over resources incase something was alive on that world, whatever world it chose, in all honesty, didn't matter they were all the same, barren worlds were little to no vegetation grew.

It would not leave that world unless it was ordered to.

It briefly wondered if it was being arrogant in its decision making, perhaps the extras needed time to forge bonds and unite as a people, or people's considering the different kinds it had inside it.

Then it remembered that it was made for the adventurers, the extras didn't matter, it found the nearest dying world and headed towards it.

Void travel is odd, objects and beings don't age, but it will starve or die of thirst, however just because a person or an object doesn't age in the void, those on the worlds however do.

It sent out the message to everyone, along with the explanation that settling on a garden world would bring unneeded danger, it explained that they had more than enough food and water, plus building materials for people to build their homes.

It watched the reactions, some simply slept or ignored its call, others celebrated, some were indifferent and others were enraged of the thought of having to settle in such a place.

Her masters, her children were still in pain, he wondered if he could help them, but how could it when they needed to heal themselves.

The process would take an day because it didn't have ships capable of exploring space, it had no other choice but to use the many teleportation platforms it had, as well as every type of portal it had.

She needed to test the consequences of its actions, there were many energies it carried within itself, so it began to open portals leading to several moons and dead worlds, it soon learned not to.

To open several portals at once would force the world or moon to shatter, it didn't matter it simply did the same thing it had done before to whatever data had survived when it was fighting the infection.

It added the broken worlds and moons to itself.

It eventually learned that one or two portals were the correct way to do things, even if the energies themselves poured into the world, they would not overwhelm it.

It had no way of knowing how the animal or plant populations would react, but if any of it died failed to grow or was mutated in any way, the humans would always have everything it has inside it for food.

It finally reached its destination, he had to remember to synchronize the time that passed inside him with the time that passed on the planet, that way no one would look younger than those below.

Look that was the keyword, just because he wasn't aging, didn't mean that those inside him would benifit from the same thing, eventually, the humans themselves would age and die, and when the last of them was gone he would no longer need to exist and would join them once again in whatever ream hey existed in.

She briefly wondered why she was now thinking about herself in terms of gender, she wasn't male, nor female, she was a ship, a caste and she was nither.

She was a mixture of both, leftover data and now worlds she had broken with her reckless actions.

It stopped now that its destination was directly beneath it, a simple portal was opened far from any native species and it began to scan both on the world and from the void, sure enough, the native species on the planet were far from the location of the portal.

So it began the process of creating a forcefield around a large area, this way the extras, the plants, animals and its humans could begin the process of settling the world undisturbed.
