Chapter 13
Airdrops
Inside the crate is a bunch of holotapes and a letter, so I grab the letter; Might as well know what this is. Let's see
Dear Luis,
It's me, the disembodied voice that keeps saying timeskips but is writing to you now because, well, I can make the letter appear in an instant and don't have to waste time telling you everything. Really nice thing being me.
Well then, how freaking lazy of this bitch
I'm just going to explain a little bit about this care packages I'm going to be sending you. You have to find the grenades, I'm not going to deliver them anymore as this one was just to get the ball rolling.
In this package you will find new abilities you can 'upload' or 'mod-into' yourself. The loot module is a definite as well as the level-up module, both will help you get more grenades, the creature and animal respawn module is just so you can go 'farming' without a care or regret. Don't worry, the animals won't remember being dead, it will 'save' their soul as it was just before they detected you and respawn on the same place next day at the same time, for the animals nothing would have happened. And no, they are not copies of the soul, they're the real thing.
Is he a fucking god or something?
This package also contains a laptop with restricted access to your world's internet, but don't worry you can play any game ever created on it and watch anything with a few selected exceptions (for ovbious reasons). I also gave you a mouse for easier use of the laptop, anything else not in this list is just randomly generated and given to you. I won't know what it is until it is seen, think of it as 'Schrödinger's cat.'
So inside is nothing and everything, but only one thing once I look at it, cool
I should mention that this specific care package will have 10 things, 5 modules and 5 items, but in the future it will vary anywhere from 1 big thing to 10 small things like this one, no more and no less (any less would be nothing after all). You can lift the foam after you take the holotapes to look at and take the items.
TTFN
Ok then...
"Soooo" Good to see she's not so guard-like with me "What does it say?" I look at Noctis; Sould I tell her I might be pen pals with a god? ... nah
"This crate has some stuff that might be usefull as well as having some new abilities I'll be able to use" I look back at the holotapes and take one; 'Loot Module'; I load up the holotape into the pip-boy. As I close the top, the screen displays rapidly scrolling lines of what I can assume is code. The screen then displays to the vault boy giving a thumbs up and changes into a long description of how it works.
This now ability basically allows me to get items out of defeated enemies and other creatures. I then load up the other four holotapes:
Level-up Module - (increases my chances for good loot based on experience)
Creature Respawn Module - (Let's animals keep on living if I kill them)
Music Module - (I can do anything music related as average as can be, but can improve with practise)
HUD Module - (Now I can see my health, compass, etc., in my field of vision but somehow out of the way)
The last two being random, and the HUD module being the trippiest. The 'Level-up Mudule' is not what one might think, instead of making me stronger or some stuff like that, it increase my chances at rare loot effectively turning my life into a pay-to-win game where I don't have to pay, but rely on luck; Damn you loot boxes! This is all EA's fault. The music module is quite interesting, it basically makes me a jack of all instruments, and other music things such as singing, etc, but master of none, if I wan't to master an instrument then I have to practise, but overall it makes me average on everything music related, even hard instruments like the piano.
I lift the foam to expose the rest of the things in this supply drop. Inside there is a plain looking laptop in the middle, the logo on the back being the milky way galaxy, next to it there is a controller that looks like a mix of the original xbox controller and that of an xbox one, next to the controller there is a headset. To the other side of the laptop there is a simple mouse, next to the mouse is a smoke grenade; That's nice, a two for one. I take everything out of the crate and it the banishes; Still weird how things just cease to exist; I look down at the stuff I took out of the crate; Now how do I get you into my inventory.
Use the other grenade; Sure disembodied voice. You need a name by the way; No I don't; I think I'll go with biggot, what do you think?; Fuck. You; Love you too, buddy
I pull the pin off the grenade and toss it a couple of meters infront of me. Same thing happens crate falls, parachute deploys, parachute disappears once it lands. I open the second crate to see a similar set up as the previous once, but only four holotapes plus a letter. I open the letter and begin to read
Hi biggot,
I hope you're having a shitty time you son of a bitch-
Well, that isn't very nice
I don't need a name and that's final!! I was going to give you power armour but now I changed my mind, hope it was worth it. Anyways, in this package you will find 2 modules I forgot to give you, this are very useful, they are a crafting module and a pip-boy control module. I am also giving you a few stimpacks and radaways, because if you die this story will become really boring. Same as before, everything not listed is random.
With a bit of hate,
ME!!!
Mhmm, this- what is he? Demi-god? God? Whatever- is really hard to read. Anyways, that's cool, crafting is going to be really fun. I reach into the create and begin installing my new add-ons; That's so weird to thing about, I'm installing new abilities on my self
Blueprint/Crafting Module - (Gives me access to crafting tables and recipes for items, but I have to discover them)
Enhanced Control Module - (Now I have mental commands for the pip-boy, which means I can change clothes now. YAY!)
Customization Module - (I can now re-style my armour, clothing, hair and beard, and the colours of them)
Lycanthropy Module - (Imma mutherfucking werewolf!!! HURRA!)
The crafting came with the recipes for the different crafting workbenches (armour, clothing, etc) and the recipe of the smoke grenade. The enhanced control is just what I already described, I just think of something I can do with the pip-boy and it does it. The customization module allows me to use the workbenches to edit already created pieces of whatever, as well as leting me use my own bathroom mirror to change my hair style and even its colour. Lastly, the lycanthropy module is just that, plus being able to choose how 'transformed' I get, so anywhere from just enhancing my senses, to transforming fully into a wolf all the while keeping control and intelligence.
I lift the foam and reveal a stimpack, radaway and a fusion core; OH COME ON!!!; Hakuna your tatas there, boy. It's not like I can do anything with them "Now, how do I use that new inventory management?" Do I just grab it?; I grab the stimpack... nothing happens; Do I think 'take'?; I hover my hand over the stimpack; Take; ...nothing; Do I think 'take' and close my hand?; I hover my hand over the stimpack; Take; then I close my hand aaand... it worked, the stimpack is not there anymore.
I take a look in my inventory, and sure enough I had the stimpack in the aid catergory, but instead of one I have ten; Which means there is also ten radaways, right?; I take the radaways, and after a quick check I see only five; Too bad; I start to take everything and testing how far I can take stuff from, and as it turns out one meter is the answer.
I turn around to see Noctis staring at me; I really need a nickname for her "What?" Right, me taking stuff from a distance; I flash a smug look "Jealous?"
"How did you even do that?" her mouth is hanging open; That's hilarious... she has fangs... that's so cool
"Magic" I start to walk back to the castle
"But you don't have a horn!" I look at her; Those red eyes are captivating...
"Which makes it all the more special. Now let's go" I motion my arm fowards "To the castle!!" I chuckle a little, I think I heard her chuckle
