Chapter 124: An Introduction

The figure was ghostly. Translucent and wispy, like a hologram. Sage blinked and looked upwards where a set of lights were on. It might actually be a real hologram. The figure was about seven feet tall and very thin. Humanoid in shape with two arms and two legs, standing upright. Despite being thin, the torso seemed thick which reminded Sage of his own serpentine body. The person had light blue scales and sharp facial features. They had no ears or hair, instead having a set of fins and ridges on the top of their head. It was sort of like if a person and an Eel or Fish got combined together. A light shot out from above and passed over both Sage and Rocky for a few moments before Sage finally heard a voice inside his head.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

This one is the artificial intelligence of the carrier craft Quittance. There is no response from the Psychic Relay. In accordance with the accords of the Ethereal Exarch, these two shall be given preferential treatment of the fifth rank for their contributions.

A bit stunned, Sage could only stand there in silence and try to figure out how hed suddenly stumbled onto what could only be termed an alien. From afar a pair of palm sized discs floated over towards Sage and Rocky. Each the size and shape of a large seashell yet when it touched Sages hand he felt it was made of some sort of smooth rounded white plastic like an i-device.

These two have minds that are unable to process any more than these simple messages. Take these devices. If they can be activated in the future, these two can become citizens of the Ethereal Exarch.

Rocky stood in silence, merely holding the plastic seashell, saying nothing. Sage felt the dismissiveness of the voice and quickly asked some questions.

What happened here? How did you get here? Are you leaving?

All the displays were off again. The hologram reappeared.

Quittance has no further logs after this point. Star maps show the Quittance to be on the Planet Iugrade Delta, the location of a exploratory supply base that Quittance was assigned to defend. Beginning power saving function. These two should leave now.

Before Sage could ask any more questions, the holographic figure disappeared and dismissed them. From what he saw, there wasnt much more he could get here if the AI wasnt willing to answer their questions. Sage asked a few more just to check and got the same response as before, These two should leave now.

The ships gratitude only seemed to extend so far. Maybe because it knew they were cultivators which, from the logs they saw, made them their enemy. Shrugging his shoulders, Sage looked over to Rocky, Guess its time to go.

Rocky just nodded and they started their walk out. The two of them stored the seashells they got and the trip back out was just as uneventful as the one in, slightly less given Rocky didnt try to break into any other doors. The capabilities of this ship seemed far past what they were capable of, but at the same time, Sage had just watched some cultivators that could fly through space and destroy these ships like they were nothing. Just what level of power had they reached?

Soon enough they were back outside the Quittance and sitting on the back of the Lance Beetle, just looking at the huge ship still floating motionlessly in front of them. Sage took this time to get out a new Memory Sphere and record everything that came after they opened the seal, figuring this might become some sort of classified information and not wanting to mix it in with the seals.
