Ok just a bit more, ok back it up, ok right there, just put the story there. Good ok now the readers have more to read. Whether it's good or not is up to the them anyways.
"Ok this is my second log so that makes this day three. So yeah Louise, the girl that saved me, her nickname around here is 'The Zero', which honestly sounds badass if you think about it. 'Zero', oh shivers… Well after she casted her for lack of a better term 'spell' things just start exploding. This is starting to make my nanite explanation a little fuzzy, but since magic cannot exist in reality… Well to what happening today. So there are no classes today because the students need to get to know their familiars. I asked Louise what she wanted to do, but she said she was just going to study something in the library. She really does not like me all that much, but hey can't complain all too much, warm place to sleep and some food that all I really need. So now I'm in the Colbert's Workshop seeing what I can do with my little pod."
Saito turns off his recorder and places it on a table. The workshop was not that big, but he had enough room to work.
"Ok, so I took out the radio and the emergency power supply… I got all the survival gear out." Saito muttered to himself. "What else could I do with this pod?" Saito leaned up against the table looking at his pod.
"Hello? Is anyone in here." a female voice said nervously into the workshop.
"Uh yeah I back here." Saito respond to the voice. From the doorway of the workshop a young maid walked in carefully, looking at everything she passed with awe. She was carrying a plate with some food on it.
"Here you go, my lord. Lady Valliere requested me to bring this to you." the maid set the food down on the table then did a bow.
"Eh, I ain't no nobility, call me Saito." Saito said relaxed and calm. "What's your name?"
"Saito… my name is Siesta." Siesta the maid replied.
"Well Siesta if your not busy I could use some help." Saito inquired.
"Yes, uh what do you need my help with." Siesta snapped to attention.
"Well after a few incidents with one of my old friends I got into the habit of recording things and actions I do. So I need you to hold the camera while I take this machine apart." Saito explained.
"Uh what is a camera?" Siesta asked.
Saito raise an eyebrow and cocked his head at her, he then rubbed the bridge of his nose and sighed.
"Did I say something wrong?" Siesta stepped back.
"No, no… you look similar to the people of my homeland, so I was running off the assumption that you knew these things…" Saito sighed.
"You mean there's a whole land of people that look like us!?" Siesta said with shock. "Grandfather may not have being crazy after all."
"Well, you still want to help?" Saito asked.
"If I help you out could you tell me more about your homeland?" Siesta asked.
"Sure, now this is the camera…"
Saito explained what the camera was and how to use it, after a few tries Siesta go a hang of how to use it. She watched as Saito dismantled his pod and organize all the different parts. Louise entered about halfway through and took a seat to watch what Saito was doing. The maid was able to explain most of it to the best of her understanding. After about three hours of work most of the pod had been gutted and it parts organized.
"I'm sorry, but I must leave to help the other maid prepare the hall for the midday meal." Siesta did a bow for Louise and left the room, leaving the camera on the table before the left.
"Interesting maid…" Louise commented.
"She reminds me of home." Saito replied. Louise gave him a questioning look, but dropped it.
"So what are you going to do with all these parts?" Louise asked. "Build more of your terror pistols?"
Saito laughed at that. "I could but that would just be a waste. I think I going to build a few drones to assist me."
"A drone?" Louise said the word and tried to understand it.
"Well a drone is a robot that I can program to do tasks for me. I know how to build three types of drones, support, assault, and scout. There are more, but I only have the programs for those three." Saito tried to explain.
Louise sat there and started to process this information. "Ok so it kind of like a cross between a golem and a familiar." Was the conclusion she came to.
"I guess so." Saito shrugged his shoulders and began to assemble a drone. "I think I'll build a scout to map out the land."
"We have maps if you want to see one." Louise said confused.
"I just want to cartographer my own map, I'll have to use your maps for cities and towns anyways." Saito responded.
"So how do your drones work?" Louise ask.
"Well this on the scout has little anti gravity pods that allow it to float and fly long distances very fast, maybe 120kph." Saito answered as he put a few piece together for the drone.
"Whoa," Louise was glad she was sitting down. "That's so much fast than a wind dragon flies."
A little bit later, "Ok I finished and famished." Saito said putting the last touches on the drone. He flicked a switch on the little drone and it lit up and began to float in the air a shoulder height.
"I think they were going to serve the food outside for our class today." Louise said. "I guess I should show you the way." They walked out of the stuffy workshop and across the campus to another courtyard on the other side of the campus. Most of Louise's class had already begun eating and chatting away. The two took their seats and the drone landed on the table in front of Saito who then set it on a chair next to him.
"Mr. Saito, good afternoon." Siesta said bringing by plates of cake.
"It's all a lie." Saito said giggling. "Sorry bad joke from home…"
"Madam, would you like some cake?" Siesta asked.
"Yes I would." Siesta handed Louise some cake, who then began to eat it too.
"And then she said let them eat cake…" Saito mused. Siesta gave Saito some cake as well then did a short bow and continued to pass out cake.
"What is with all you little sayings with cake and how can cake lie?" Louise asked after she finished a few bites of her cake.
"There mostly meaningless jokes. Though this is good cake." Saito replied. A crash was heard along with an angry voice yelling. Saito turned to see what had happened and Siesta had tripped and flung cake on someone.
"Oh by the founder, Guiche really needs to calm down…" Louise sighed. "No use crying over dropped cake."
"If he hurts Siesta I going to take revenge." Saito says bluntly.
"Fine just don't kill him." Louise said. "I highly doubt that you would die in a fight anyways."
"Why because I can so easily survive your explosion?" Saito said.
"Yes, I just don't want a death of a nobleman on my head, I am responsible for you, you know. And he just slapped her…" Louise sighed. "I never really like him anyways."
Saito snapped his fingers as his drone took to the skies. He walked over to Guiche. "Excuse me for asking, but what are you doing?"
"Oh butt out Familiar, I am dealing with incompetence here I don't need stupidity next." Guiche growled.
"Guiche calm down, its just cake." A girl in a chair on the same table eating her cake.
"No it not about cake it about pride of a nobleman!" Guiche proclaimed. Saito went over to Siesta and helped her up.
"So Guiche see you've gotten another girl." Saito ventured a bluff.
"What does this commoner mean Guiche." the girl dropped her fork on the table and stared down the noble idiot.
"Uh, er I have no idea what he mean Montmorency." Guiche fails to convince her.
"One thing Founder damnit, I ask one thing from you. You…" The girls storms of in a rage.
"First it a bloody maid now, some familiar who doesn't know his place! That's it I challenge you to a GAAHH" A blast of lightning engulfs Guiche and falls he to the ground. From where his head was the drone floats with a electrode sparking near it front tip. Other students gathered around to see what happened. Siesta ran off in fear as Louise approached Saito.
"I thought I said not to kill him." Louise said annoyed.
"Huh? Oh he's not dead, just going to be unconscious for a while." Saito explained as his drone floated near his head.
"Ok, I going to go finish my cake then." Louise left. The crowd then began to disperse after hearing that Guiche is going to be alright. Guiche stirred a bit before opening his eyes. Saito was on one knee looking at his face.
"All right Guiche, now let's remember not to hurt the staff, and let's not pick fights with people, ok?" Saito said in an annoyingly sumg voice. Guiche nodded. "Ok now get out of here before you piss me off again." Guiche took of running. Saito returned to Louise who had just finished her cake.
"So what does Guiche's Family do?" Saito asked.
"His father is a general." Louise said as if it was common knowledge that Saito should have known.
"Oh well… this might not end well."
Later near the end of the day. Saito was sitting in Louise room watching a screen he had set up on the wall. It was holographic so it did not need many components to make, a few light emitting diodes and a few mirrors and bam a screen. He had sent his drone out to make a map out the surrounding area a little bit after his talk with Guiche. He had set up the screen to watch the progress be made bit by bit.
"Ok Saito here's a map you can..." Louise was stunned by what was on her wall. "That map, it has so much detail…"
"Can I see the map?" Saito asked. Louise still stunned absently handed him the map. "Huh I knew it!"
"What? What do you know?" Louise asked with urgency.
"Oh I can't read your script." Saito said pointing to the scribbles on the map. "Could you tell me what they say so I can translate them to my script?"
"Uh sure." Louise looked at the screen again and noticed something. "Hey that's the capital, Tristania!"
"Could oh so that's what that little city was, scans show it has about hundred thousand people living in it." Saito said typing something into a device in his hands.
"Little city? It's at least in the top five largest cities on the entire continent!" Louise said a little insulted.
"Oh but it just has that small town vibe feel though so quaint." Saito said. "It kind of reminds me of some of the smaller lifeships."
"Ok then what's a big city to you?" Louise huffed annoyed.
"I think Tokyo, the old capital of my people had about 36.2 million at its height." Saito wondered out loud.

"Kenji… tell me what happened to my brother." Kenji was not in the best of situations, not only had he lost his best friend, he was now strapped down to a chair in the levels security outpost. Oh that was not even the worst part, the head guard for this level was the older sister to his friend.
"Well, during the maintenance cycle yesterday, we we're testing-"
"Why in the hell are you using my brother a your guinea pig, especially what happened after last time!" the sister became irate.
"I got permission from engineering, they even endorsed the project with the lost rating they have for me!" Kenji sputtered out.
"I know that, but by the reports I'm getting my brother is most likely dead." Saito sister slammed her hand onto a table. "My brother…"
"He can't be dead. Come on it's Saito you know what he's probably doing right now."
"He was sucked into a anomaly is space, this isn't some B list sci-fi movie, come on we live on space ships for god's sake!"
"I know he can't be dead, I took scans of the anomaly before it faded away!" Kenji said hoping this would help his case.
"What does some scans have to do with this!?"
"Jun! For heaven's sake could I explain?" Kenji addressed Saito's sister. "The scans are everything."
"Ok, ok, ok… What did your scans pickup?" Jun asked trying to calm down.
"Air, breathable air and 1.1 gee gravity." Kenji said.
"What, that mean…"
"That means he, hopefully, is on a planet. And best part is, I think I might be able to recreate the portal."
"What do you need?" Jun asked.
"This is the hard part, I need access to sector 18."
