Chapter 87: RWBY: Grimm Eclipse (6)
~Jack POV~
Walking our way down the facility blueprints and map of this building we finally managed to find the hanger of the facility's personal MRO or for longer meaning maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) commonly referred to as aircraft repair and maintenance.
Entering the place, I see the busted old Bullhead looking through the place while Koro moves around freely in this place while I place my hands on the walls.
Yup.
Definitely dusty.
Seeing one of the terminals of this place I began to go towards it and used <Technopathy> on it to reactivate some portion of the facility MRO room with the machines coming to life moving but with cranky noises.
*Creee*
*Clank*
*Beep*
Sigh…
This could take a while, for me to finish up, and after accessing the Merlot Industry database it seems like they had the tools needed to repair the Bullhead in front of me.
Metal arms and laser attachments began to move to live going towards the Bullhead with the process of repairing it is a go.
However, how much time it would take I have no real idea of how long it would take to fully repair the Bullhead to be operational again.
Might use this time to take the moment to research a new means of flying the damn thing or I could modify it to be like those air fighter jets simulation games changing the driving wheel to something similar like that for simplicity's sake.
Hmm…
Yeah, I could probably go to do something like that.
*Zzzzz*
*Brrr*
Activating all the mechanical gears I placed the machines on autopilot to begin working on their own while I have my time to search around the place.
I did read the database of storage of a manuscript of a proto-type power armor around here made by Atlas to Vale to help with the expansion effort but with how the Grimm overpowered this place I can start looking for free loot.
Turning my head over to Koro getting his immediate attention with a smile on my face and talking to my dog, "Come on Koro! How about we search for any loot for us to have right? Maybe we can get a chew toy for you little bud?"
"Woof!"
Barking in agreement we took our leave for the time being about the MRO room to search for anything else worthwhile in this abandoned facility.
/////
Hmm…
Taking some time to search around this abandoned facility I and Koro managed to find ourselves in the research facility room of the defunct Merlot Industries inventions and weapons room.
Have to admit they really have some nice toys around.
<Observe>.

Item: Power Armor (Proto-Type)
Description: This power armor allows the user to wear an exoskeleton which is described as being a power armor-boosted equivalent of +25 STR when equipped.

Item: Atlesian Knight-130
Description: The Atlesian Knight-130, otherwise known as the AK-130, was an advanced type of security robot produced by the Atlas Military and used around the Kingdoms. It served as the standard security model of Remnant for several years.
They were able to change their hands into revolving automatic weapons or alternatively, into large curved, wrist-mounted blades, fighting with both in a dual-wielding style. They also appeared to possess a certain level of artificial intelligence, since one was shown to speak, albeit primitively, towards their aggressors. They could also signal to each other using hand gestures to begin attacking.

<Observe>.

Item: Spider Droid
Description: The Spider Droid was a large defense robot that defended the cargo of aboard the Black Cargo Train.
It shared similar traits with a spider, such as the ability to hang in midair for an ambush attack. It appeared to be made of an extremely durable substance that can withstand Huntsman/Huntresses' initial attacks. At close range, the Spider was able to use its own body and legs to attack.
At long range, it could fire off each of its four cannons, though it could only fire one at a time at a rather slow rate of fire. The Spider's merged cannon had enough strength and force to knock away veteran Huntsman/Huntresses.
According to Merlot Industry and Atlas Military General James Ironwood, these droids were still prototypes, and their exact number was unknown with the probability of being replaced.

Hmm…?
I wonder if the new skills I got from the books of Tukson Book Store would be helpful here to possibly create a new kind of android since I have the know-how to use them.
Skill List.
----
<Mechanic> (Passive) Lv.29/100 Exp: 34%
Description: This skill allows the user to be very good with machines as well as a fundamental understanding of how they work. The more the user knows about machines as well as their mechanics the more probable the chances of succeeding would work. The more INT stats you have the easier for this skill to level up easier.
-The chances of your machines working by hand are 29%
-The chances of your intended machine working with a blueprint are 100%
<Robotic Engineering> (Passive) Lv.3/100 Exp: 9%
Description: The more INT you have the higher your understanding of machines you will have especially creating more robots under your command. The more understanding of your bots the higher the chance for them to be stronger!
<Data Manipulation> (Passive) Lv.34/100 Exp: 80%
Description: The user can manipulate data/digital information from systems and networks, manipulate statistics, and automatically become true depending on the acquired data at the time.
----
Hmm…
All of these are good since I have already gained these skills, but the question is would this be enough for what I have planned in mind?
….
I think I'll use <Fusion> to see if it can work with these three and I wonder what it will be the new fusion for combining these three.
Seeing the screen pop up to fuse a new skill for me to use I began to go ahead and use up all three of my skills for it to work.
[-Choose the following Skills to Fuse into a new one-]
[-Mechanic-]
[-Robotic Engineering-]
[-Data Manipulation-]
[-If the following -Mechanic-, -Data Manipulation-, and -Robotic Engineering- fused result in: <Mechanical King>-]
[-Notice if fuse you lose the materials used to fuse-]
<Mechanical King> huh?
Now, this has my interest if my three skills fuse to make this one.
Ugh….
But all that time that my clones and myself slaved away in our free time to grind them…
Tch.
Fine, you win this time fusion.
[Ding!]
[Using the materials of -Mechanic-, -Data Manipulation-, and -Robotic Engineering- will begin fusion!]
[<Fusion> LEVEL UP!]x3
[Fusion Complete!]
[Skills <Mechanic>, <Data Manipulation>, and <Robotic Engineering> have been lost.]
[The Skill <Mechanical King> has been learned from <Fusion>!]
Ugh…
Still, the pain of losing my skills is always a bust since all of them are passive and now I have to work hard to reclaim them again.
Now let's see what the skill <Mechanical King> can do.
Skill list.
----
<Mechanical King> (Passive) Lv.1/100 Exp: 0%
Description: With this skill the user is easily able to create advanced machinery to his command and be able to create any form of machines so long as the user uses his AP to fuel each project with this skill providing the knowledge to supercomputers to galactic ships at the ready so long as the user has the right materials needed to understand by touching the item in question to gather the blueprints.
With this skill, it will allow the user to know what he needs to create, and the right materials needed to create artificial intelligence machinery, but the user needs to get the items needed for the machines to work.
-Any machines the player makes will be already loyal to him faithfully with no chance of a Skynet occurring.
-Another bonus of this skill is that any Machine/Android base party member received a 10% boost to their Stats and Skills.
- Whenever the player touches any machine or item the blueprints and steps needed will be already available info inside his head to create all to the tools, metals, coding, keys, and the very molecules needed.

What…?
My mouth was agape seeing this with clear surprise on my face as when I tried out my <Mechanical King> with a touch of the terminal server –
Whoa…!
[<Mechanical King> LEVEL UP!]
[<Mechanical King> LEVEL UP!]
[<Mechanical King> LEVEL UP!]
Suddenly my head was filled with steps and blueprints needed to build the thing including the writing materials and coding needed for it to work.
[Ding!]
[Due to using <Mechanical King> a new skill of hacking has been created!]
[You learned the skill <Hacking Mastery>!]
And even got another skill needed just for this occasion just by touching the terminal nearby this empty facility…
Skill List.
----
<Hacking Mastery> (Passive) Lv.1/100 Exp: 90%
Description: The user, either innately or through training, is a master of hacking through difficult mainframes of information and bypassing intensively difficult levels of online security.
They can also hack the systems of incredibly complex devices and weapons to aid them in various situations. Advanced users can hack anything and everything they want any time they want effortlessly with ease.
They can possibly access any information that there is and was ever stored in/on the internet or technology at will with ease. Users can easily, whenever they want, pull off any and every feat that involves tech.
----
Grinning like a loon with this it seems like I need to make some adjustments to some of the equipment here.
Using <Deep Pockets> for the time being I managed to keep any items and anything valuable inside the time being.
When I get over to Merlot Island oh boy that guy is so screwed!
Everything that guy has only works on machines and terminals in that place. With <Mechanical King> I can essentially turn his robot servants to execute order 66 on them to turn against their creator!
Can't wait to see the looks on his face to see it when it happens.

~Pyrrha POV~
"Sigh…"
"Is something wrong dear?"
Glancing over to my mom helping her around with our home I smiled at her thinking about something, "No mother. Just thinking is all…"
My mother goes over with her head glancing at me with a mischievous smirk on her face asking me the obvious, "Hmm…? Is this perhaps something to do with your team or friends?"
I stiffed at that letting my mother know the answer while she comes over to my side with an eager grin, "Oh! I was right! Come on sweetie tell your ma what's going on! It's one right us moms have to look after our sweet little angels come on…"
Having her hands on my shoulders I relented a bit with an awkward expression talking about my team to her. My mom seems to be very happy when I started to mention my team like it was a gift for her.
She squealed happily at this tightening her hands at my own mentioning my teams and our time in Beacon, "Oh deary! My sweet little Nikos is finally growing up and making some good friends! Ah… if you only had friends when you were younger you wouldn't be socially awkward or bad people wanting to use you."
I could only twitch my mouth at that socially awkward part of her.
She really is my mother as she knows how to make me tick in annoyance. But that was when she grasps my hands mentioning my team leader, "So then… tell me, sweetie? Do you have a crush on your leader? Come on you can trust your mommy on this. Please let this be a yes…"
Sweat dropping at this I replied honestly what I felt about Jack to me to her in a nice tone, "We are just friends, mom. He certainly has his moments of being blindly brave and courageous. Even going as far as to risk his own life to save others is quite chivalrous actually. But only friends."
He really was the odd one at that.
Remembering how he was willing to save Weiss despite their rocky start he still willingly went into danger… that is what I admire about him although his weak at times he makes up for it by training and his quick thinking.
Certainly takes up his namesake almost sounding like a knight when he sounds like the night.
Hehe…
Even though he hardly acts like one with us but maybe that's his own way of being used to us as a team.
I doubt he would like that comparison of how to curse mouth he is at times but only when something unfortunate happens.
Like that one time when Yang invited him and Blake into a bar from what I recall he mentions about mother's biker gang wrath and never going to a fucking bar with Yang ever again. Like never.
He never did mention what happened but if there is something with Yang and bars it usually goes off with a bang.
However, returning my eyes to my mother she seems disappointed at this while pouting at me making me look confused, "Are you positive you have no secret crush with your leader or affair secret from his team with you? Not even one juicy bit for your mother to talk about to other moms in the neighborhood…?"
Pffft… no.
We have nothing like that at all.
I merely respect my leader as a genuine friend plus, he hasn't exactly tried to hit me off since his usually too busy with me practicing with the professors or talking to friends.
We like our friendly space like this. Or at least I do anyway.
Shaking my head at this my mother pouts at me mumbling to herself while speaking out loud enough for me to hear, "Hmph! What is the use of my daughter talking about her life if I can listen to any good secrets of her love life? Maybe she needs to be saved like a maiden waiting for her own knight in shining armor to save her…"
Mother… I would really appreciate if you don't stage something like that for me.
But if something like that were to happen, I wonder how far any of my friends will be doing if I were to be captured…
Shaking my head again at the idea I highly doubt anyone would be able to consider my strength but I would like to know what my team will do if I was ever kidnapped will they be able to search for me?
At least I know Jack will if the event arises as his history of helping others is the first to run into danger, but for now, I glanced at my mother as she spoke to me kindly, "Sigh… oh well I guess. Anyway, Pyrrha sweetie can you be a dear and help your mother cook?"
Nodding happily at this it's reasons like this I wanted to be a Huntress to help and save people like my mom and good people.
It's great to be home.
