Someone knock over Li Shi Ying room 8 a.m in the morning. Li Shi Ying was currently having a nice breakfast with Jiu Wei by her side. 

"Huh? Who is it?" Li Shi Ying ask Jiu Wei who was also eating beside her. It mustn't be Long Ao Zhen, because that man never knock before entering the room. He will always rushed in like it was his own room. 

"Dunno. Should i open the door?" Jiu Wei put down the chopstick on the table as he prepared to stood up.

"Hmm." Li Shi Ying also put down her chopstick and quickly wore her veil.

Jiu Wei opened the door and the moment he did that, around 10 people suddenly entered the room.

SWOSH SWOSH SWOSH! 

It was too sudden as Li Shi Ying even felt shocked by it. She thought those people were here to attack her! Fortunately she wasn't eating right now otherwise she might choked on a beef for the second time. 

"What are you doing?!" Jiu Wei raised his voice in anger. He then quickly stood in front of Li Shi Ying when he saw those people went in just like that. He felt those people action were very impolite!! 

"We're here to search for the translator" One of the oldest people among the intruders, spoke up in a not too friendly tone. He was sent by the royal family to find the translator so he didn't like it when a 'normal' people like Jiu Wei raised his voice like that.

Li Shi Ying: am i exposed? 😶

Jiu Wei: ...maybe? 

Li Shi Ying heart leapt to her throat when she heard what the elder said. Searching for translator?? How could they found out about it?? 

Jiu Wei in contrary was calmer than Shi Ying. He raised his eyebrow handsomely and said "Then why are you here in our room?" 

The elder raised his chin arrogantly before answering. "We heard a rumor that the translator live here in this inn. We're conducting an interogation now" 

When Li Shi Ying heard what the elder said, only then she secretly sighed in relief. So these people still didn't know the translator true identity right? They're here to search for the translator....

....wait wait wait this is going to dangerous for me right?? What if somehow they accidentaly find a translated script in my room?? 

Li Shi Ying who was relieved a second ago, started to felt panic again. She quickly scanned her room and tossed all her items one by one into Mao Mao space. Of course she did it silently while Jiu Wei was talking with the elder.

"So what will you do now?" Jiu Wei folded his arm arrogantly as he asked the elder. He felt very annoyed by those people attitude suddenly came into a stranger room without their permission.

"We're going to test the two of you with this device." The elder then brought out a small crystal ball from his pocket.

Li Shi Ying: test? You can even test whether someone is a translator or not? 

"This device can detect whether a person receive God blessing or not. Because all translator receive God blessing for certain, when they put their hand on this ball..this ball will glow in golden light" The elder very kindly explain about how to use the crystal ball to the oblivious Li Shi Ying.

Of course Jiu Wei already knew about it but...he forgot to tell his mistress!! He just remember now that his mistress might not know about the existence of this device.

Li Shi Ying: ...am i doomed now? 

Li Shi Ying tugged Jiu Wei sleeves while pouting her cheek. She really didn't know about that device!! No wonder it was stated in the novel that there're only 7 translators in lower realm. It turns out that those translators were discovered with this device! 

Li Shi Ying glare to the ball like a small frightened bunny. That device is an evil device! Hmph! 

Li Shi Ying tried to calm herself and gave some word of consolations to her heart.

....well she was technically weren't included into those 7 translators so maybe...just maybe..

Maybe she could went undetected by this device? This device only tested a person blessing from God right? She never felt she got a God blessing ever since coming to this world.

She could became a translator all because of a super coincidence! It's all because the God Language is actually English!! If God Language is in another language maybe she won't ever became a translator.

With this thought in mind, Li Shi Ying mood quickly became better and she was ready to test the ball. 

She was perfectly confident that she wouldn't be detected by the device so her secret as a translator could remain undiscovered!

TULALA si Jemaikha nang sa wakas ay nagyaya na kumain si Hiro. Ubos na ang powers niya sa pag-guide sa lalaki sa buong UP Diliman. Matapos mag-report sa opisina para sa foreign at exchange students, inikot niya ang lalaki sa iba't ibang gusali sa UP pati na rin ang ibang importanteng lugar gaya ng library, Sunken Garden at ang Melchor Hall kung saan tiyak na madalas itong magkaklase dahil engineering ang kurso nito. 
Sa Lutong Bahay sila bumagsak, isang eatery na may mga homecooked meals at murang shake. "Nani o tabetaidesu ka? (What do you want to eat?)" tanong ng lalaki sa kanya kung ano ang gusto niyang kainin.
"Manang, isang sinigang na bangus po na bangus po at isang kanin," sabi niya at tumuro. 
"Manang, sinigang na bangus po…" anang lalaki na akmang kokopyahin ang order niya.
"Hindi. Pumili ka ng iba. Betsu no mono o erande kudasai. (Choose something else.)"
At nagulat siya nang basta na lang itong nagturo. May anim na iba't ibang klaseng putahe marahil itong in-order. "Hala! Ang dami naman.  Subete o taberudarou ka? (You will eat everything?)" nanlalaki ang mata niyang tanong kung kakainin nito lahat.  
Itinuro siya nito at ang sarili. "Beikoku. Watashitachiha subete o tabemasu. (Us. We will eat everything.") Sila daw ang kakain ng lahat. Pinagsalikop nito ang mga palad na animo'y nagdadasal kaya umusal din siya ng dasal ng pasasalamat. "Ittadaikimasu!" anang lalaki na hudyat na pwede na silang magsimulang kumain. 
Tahimik niyang pinagmasdan ang lalaki. Nasa twenty years old na ang lalaki at nag-aral mula sa University of Tokyo ng Electrical and Electronics Engineering. 
"Kanojo wa dokodesu ka? (Where is your girlfriend?)"hanap niya sa girlfriend nito. 
"Dare? (Who?)" tanong nito kung sino.
"S-Shobe-san?" tanong niya.
Nalukot ang mukha ng lalaki. Hindi daw nito sinabi sa babae kung saan ito pupunta dahil gusto nitong maging independent at matutunan kung paano mamuhay nang mag-isa sa Maynila. Masaya naman siya dahil kung kasama nito ang maldita nitong girlfriend, tiyak na di sila magkakausap ng lalaki. Pero delikado para kay Hiro. Mas maraming sira ulo sa Kamaynilaan. Maswerte na ito dahil dumating siya kanina. 
"We must remedy your problem," nausal na lang niya dito. "Hindi ka mabubuhay sa Pilipinas kung di ka marunong mag-Filipino o English man lang."
"Nani?" tanong nito kung anong sinasabi niya. 
Ipinaliwanag niya ang sinabi dito sa wikang Hapon ang saloobin niya. Hindi bale sana kung Linguistics ang kurso ng mga kahalubilo nito palagi. Magiging considerate ba ang mga kaklsase nito at professor dito?
Inilabas nito ang maliit na MP3 at nagsalita. Nagsalita ito sa Nihongo at maya maya pa ay nagsalita na ang device. "No worries. I have this." Translator pala iyon. At sa palagay niya ay bagong imbensyon lang iyon. 
May translator naman pala ito. Bakit pa ba siya nito pinahihirapan na mag-Nihonggo? 
"Hindi mo magagamit ang translator lagi. Paano kung maubusan ng battery o masira? Paano kung wala ka nang oras para magpa-interpret?" tanong niya. Hinayaan niyang translator ang mag-translate para dito. Nakita niya na naguluhan ito kung paano io-operate ang device para isalin ang sinabi niya. 
Nagkibit-balikat ang lalaki. "Watashi wa nani o subeki ka? (What should I do?)" tanong nito kung anong dapat gawin.
"You need an English and Filipino tutor and a guide."
"Tutor? Guide?" tanong ng lalaki.
"I can be your English and Filipino tutor and guide," prisinta agad ni Jemaikha kasabay ng pagkinang ng mga mata. 
Ito na. Ito na ang hinihintay niyang pagkakataon na magkaroon ng bagong estudyante. And Hiro was perfect. Lost in translation ang drama nito sa Pilipinas. Mag-isa pa itong nakatira sa condo nito. Paano ito mabubuhay kung  wala halos itong alam sa English at Filipino? May mga foreign students naman sa Pilipinas. Pero kung gusto nitong maging competitive at mas mapadali ang komunikasyon sa ibang tao, kailangan nito ng magaling na tutor. At siya iyon.
Nakita niya ang pagdududa sa mga mata nito. Inilabas niya ang school ID para ipakita ang kurso niya kung saan siya nag-aaral ng Linguistics. "See? I am studying Asian Languages here in UP." Inabot niya dito ang resume na lagi niyang dala sakaling makatagpo siya ng potential client. Binasa iyon ng lalaki pero di niya alam kung may naiintindihan ito. Wala na siguro itong masasabi pa dahil kanina pa siya nagpapasiklab sa alam niya sa Nihonggo. Parang audition na rin niya iyon. "You can ask Miss Grace of Unit 3010. I used to be her daughter's tutor. I am a good tutor. I can also give you a free lesson on how to survive here in the Philippines." 
Marahan itong umiling. "No need tutor…"
"My service is cheap. Only fifteen thousand pesos a month. Intense program. That is cheap." Nag-compute siya sa conversion ng peso sa yen. "Really cheap." Umiling pa rin ito. "I can cook. I can clean your house. I can sing and dance." Ano pa ba ang kailangan niyang ialok dito para tanggapin nito ang serbisyo niya? She really needed that job.
Ngumisi ang lalaki. "Tutor, cook, clean the house, sing and dance. Okay."
"Domo arigatou gozaimasu, Hiro-san,"  pasasalamat ni Jemaikha at yumukod. Itinaas niya ang mga kamay. "Yes! May trabaho na ulit ako. Hindi ka magsisisi, Hiro-san."
Pagak itong tumawa. "Wakaranai."
"Ay! Okay lang iyan. Maiintindihan mo rin ako. Masanay ka na."

Ten days of constant pain. Zero had to tell Mii to inform Merlin that he would be resting in the lamp that Zeus gave him.
Unable to do anything more than have information shoved into his head, Zero could only lay numbly on the bed and receive everything that his assistants were pouring in. Wii was also given the instruction to do what she could to hasten the process of studying Merlin's libraries. The wizard god wasn't surprised when Mii told him about her master's request. Instead, he asked if there was anything he could help with.
Mii thought for a while. "It would be good to not disturb him while he is processing all the information. Also, Wii and I will take over the transcribing, updating and recording of new books in your libraries. A section of the libraries has been cordoned off to put the completed books for your checking. There will be an easily accessible version on the reading device as well. We estimate the entire process to take about a month, depending on how much Zero can take. He's suffering a terrible headache from the information overload. The mindscape's mental capacity cannot cope with the amount of information flooding in. Both Wii and I are short-handed as it is, we can't handle organising the books, processing them and organising them at the same time."
Merlin hummed. "I might have something for that."
Mii was surprised when the wizard god told her to wait. He went to his alchemy lab to search for something and came back about twenty minutes later with a huge sack of odd gadgets.
"This is for the headache he has caused by insufficient memory space and overloading. You should have his Parallel Minds study and work on memory increasing capacity. This is a temporary space for storing all the information that could not be processed immediately. The capacity is directly proportional to the mana flow in it. Zero has a huge reserve of mana, it should be enough. This is a magic translator and transcriber to help with information processing. If you equip this and work on it, you don't have to spend so much time referencing. It is linked to my memory and knowledge base but the downside is needing a lot of mana to maintain that connection for it to work. If you face any other difficulties, let me know. I might have a few more useful gadgets lying around that might help."
Mii couldn't deny that the odd trinkets were actually very useful. She held up a wrist band that Merlin introduced as a magic translator and transcriber. "Do you have more of this? Wii and her clones need them badly. Possibly thirty?"
Merlin blanked out at that."Th-thirty? Zero has that many Parallel Minds?"
Mii thought for a while. "I think Zero's current capacity for Parallel Minds is actually close to two hundred. However, due to the limit of his mindscape's capacity and the system's restriction, he is only able to successfully use twenty for processing at any one time."
Merlin wanted to faint at the absurd number. Did his student not have any limits? With sixteen Parallel Minds, Truen had already long surpassed ordinary mages. When Truen hit his limit at the twenties, Merlin was already satisfied because that made Truen as powerful as a demigod. Zero had ten times the number of Parallel Minds his guardian had and wasn't able to fully use them. What kind of horrible power could Zero harness if he is able to gain control over all his Parallel Minds? With Mii's claims, Zero doesn't seem to have a limit with creating Parallel Minds either.
"Out of curiosity, isn't it getting progressively harder to increase the number of Parallel Minds as you progress? Arithmetic hasn't progressed to the point of being able to create more than thirty Parallel Minds, you need alchemy for that."
Mii shrugged. "Zero's doing it in a very strange way. It is true that Wii hit a wall at thirty with advanced Arithmetic. After that, Zero told Wii to focus on focus on something called philosophy. There are many of such books in the reading device that we are currently syncing with Zero's mind. It was my mistake. Wii was only supposed to sync the books from your physical libraries into the reading device that was linked to Zero's mindscape library. However, we didn't know that it would sync the entire reading device's library. There was no system option to stop that process. If we do that, parts of Zero's mind could be damaged."
Merlin shuddered. "How many books does the reading device have?"
Mii swallowed, not knowing how Merlin would react if he heard the real number. "About a septillion? We thought that there was going to be a few million but we were wrong... the millions came from your library. The rest are still being processed. We don't know the actual number of books there are in the reading device... Steve updates it every hour."
Merlin looked odd like a fish out of water for a moment. "Zero's reading of all those septillion books?"
Mii nodded. "It's not easy. The boy's practically paralysed and confined to the bed, groaning with pain constantly, unable to eat or sleep. I tried to bring him food but Zero doesn't have an appetite. he only eats pills now for pain relief and revitalisation. I've asked Hua Tuo for more pills because those are what Zero needs most now."
Merlin grew sick with worry hearing how horrible his student was feeling. "I understand. Keep me updated about Zero's condition. Unfortunately, I don't have spares for that device. It was difficult to make but if you can find a way to duplicate it without causing side effects to my mind, let me know."
The strawcherry fairy thanked Merlin and excused herself. Mii could barely wait to introduce all the new gadgets. Maybe with the gadgets easing the pain, Zero would start to eat again.
Wii was pleasantly surprised to see her sister return with a bag of gadgets."These are...?"
Mii nodded. "From Merlin to aid us. Is it possible to make a clone to care for Zero? We will need a few more to study the nature of this magic translator and transcriber. If we can replicate that and make a few more copies tapping on the original device, we can work more efficiently."
The two fairies conversed in detail while helping Zero equip the headband that Merlin claimed would help Zero with his headache. They also set up a link for all the processed books to not be thrown into the library's floor and into the temporary space instead. Mii asked Lily to monitor Zero's mana levels.
"We should have reserves of sins and energy that can be converted to mana if required," she told the flower fairy who nodded.
"The amount of mana needed to sustain everything is actually about two thousand per second using the lamp's time flow. I'm afraid there wouldn't be enough to sustain the operations once we start. Zero has to replenish the mana source from somewhere..."
Mii frowned. "Understood. I will talk to Zero about it. We have some ideas. Just let us know when the mana reserves have fallen below thirty percent."
As promised, the gadgets Merlin loaned helped. Zero was finally able to hear his own thoughts for the first time in days. Wii came up to Zero to assist her master to get up from the bed while Mii managed the setting up of the temporary storage space system.
Zero groaned at the stiffness of his body and meditated for a while to regulate qi into all his meridian points, easing the fatigue he felt.
"What's this?" he asked and pointed to the bulky headband on his head.
Wii smiled and explained what Mii told her. Zero nodded and heard a loud grumble from his stomach. He blushed.
"Master, why not get something to eat first? I'm sure the chefs at La Boutique will still welcome you even if the coupon is nearing its expiry. We also need to search for a way to gain more mana. Using these gadgets consume a lot of mana, Lily and Mii fear that the reserves you have wouldn't sustain. There are simply way too many books from the reading device that need processing. The mindscape's library is about to burst too. I'm not sure if you've seen it lately but there are about a hundred floors now and the spaces of each floor have increased by five times. We're still unable to cope with the influx of information."
Zero stared at the eggplant fairy. "Is it that bad? A hundred floors should be enough... why are we still struggling?"
Wii bowed her head in shame. "Mii estimated it wrongly. It isn't a few million books to handle... those were merely from Merlin's library. The reading device actually has about a septillion books and we can't stop until everything has been processed. Every hour Steve updates it and adds more books so this reading marathon will be a tough one to complete. We haven't found a way to stop the syncing either without damaging parts of your mind. Very sorry, master!"
Zero smiled and shook his head. "No, don't stop. I'll be fine. Let's find a solution to it together now that I can actually hear my own thoughts. First, food and then mana. I think I know just the place to increase my mana reserves. Don't tell anyone yet but we're going to visit Trigression Falls for a bit before we visit Titan Cliff."
Wii's eyes widened. Trigression Falls, she could understand. But Titan Cliff? Didn't the gods warn Zero to stay clear of that dangerous place? If anything, the eggplant fairy thought that Zero would go to the Spring of Vitality or the abyss to replenish his mana.
"Master!"
Zero grinned and shushed her. "I'll get dressed. We're going to La Boutique first. Also, I'm not going to rip the chefs off this time. Consuming food for energy reserves is surprisingly ineffective. I'm going there to simply fill my stomach. We're going to negotiate for food delivery services with the chefs there. Bib will collect our food while we work. You should ask teacher what he wants from La Boutique to save us all the trouble. I'm going to ask for all kinds of food that help with mana recovery."
Wii nodded and disappeared with a twinkle to find Merlin while Zero got dressed. Thanks to Coux, Zero knew that he had to look the part of a powerful person whenever he was going to negotiate. The problem of having no money still remained. If it weren't for that one year pass of free eating at La Boutique, he might be helpless. Bib's cooking was only as good as Zero's and the golem wasn't able to cook food that Zero hasn't cooked before. Even if Zero had thousands of recipes in his head, the lack of experience meant that Bib was only cooking stir-fried mushrooms, soup and deep-fried shrimps alongside rice for every meal. It didn't taste bad but it was getting boring. Just thinking about that made Zero lose his appetite. Zero might not have eaten for a while now due to the constant pain but he certainly didn't feel like eating another one of Bib's predictable meals. He promised to cook more often and experiment with a few more new recipes just so that Merlin wouldn't have to suffer eating the same things over and over again when he leaves.
"I'm back!" Wii announced with a wide smile. "Merlin says that he's fine with anything that isn't the same as what Bib has been making."
Zero laughed without humour. It wasn't surprising that Merlin felt the same way he did. With that settled, Zero teleported them both to La Boutique using Merlin's portal. Mii's new function of being able to remember coordinates of places he once visited was proving to be very handy. Borrowing a ready-made portal was more mana effective than opening one himself.
Unknown to everyone else, Zero had an idea about the kind of magic he wanted to create. The accident of having the reading device's library syncing with Zero's mindscape was actually a welcomed one despite the inconvenience caused and constant pain. Zero was taking many inspirations from all the other subjects that he usually wouldn't bother reading up.  Who knew that philosophy would be his saving grace? When Wii's progress was stagnant, Zero was able to create a breakthrough with philosophy. many other subjects fell under this wide umbrella and a subject called science came into the picture when philosophy was brought up. Also, psychology, art, history and martial arts were all by-products of philosophy.
Through that discovery, it was obvious to Zero what he had to do. In philosophy, there was one constant pattern that couldn't be broken and that gave Zero the hint he needed for his answer. In philosophy, the starting point often becomes the ending point. Everything else is merely an expansion of that one small point. But it doesn't matter which direction the flow of thought travelled to, in the end, the one thing that remained constant would be the present.
One can change everything from their frame of mind to their logical conclusions and convictions. However, it was impossible to deny the truth of the present. Everything still came back to the current timeline of existence. No past or future can alter it. No time fragmentation can disturb it. The present was a very powerful thing.
The magic that Zero wanted to create was built on the concept of the present. However, Zero wasn't just a magician, he was also a doctor and a philosopher. The teenager wanted to own everything that Solo had created even if his gift was the gift of destruction. In order to do that, Zero had to embrace everything, including his power for destruction and find a way to make everything that Solo created his.
He might not be able to create like Solo, but Zero was confident of being able to recreate things. The magic that he wanted to create and master was the art of recreation. The ability to manipulate everything that exists in the present world that they lived in. The ability to change what was predestined.
Solo wanted Zero to help him destroy his creations and Zero will do that in his own way. He wasn't going to let Solo continue manipulating him from behind the scenes. After all, there were things that this doctor wanted to protect.

After Ivan descended into the fourth dimension to hunt for himself and Mazur, Valeria nervously began searching the ship for him. Naturally he couldn't communicate with her, so he had no method to explain to her he would be gone for a while.
Mazur found her as she was getting increasingly restless and running around the ship. 
"Tsu Viskers ut noskis Ivan, por?" Valeria worriedly asked in her language while backing away from him.
Mazur still hadn't finished the translator, but he understood that she was looking for Ivan. He was slightly irritated that she was calling him by the distasteful nickname 'Whiskers', that Ivan had introduced him by.
He wanted to approach her and correct his name before it became a habit, but Valera had a strange fear of him and ran away as soon as he approached. Ivan hadn't notice it, but Mazur had. Whenever he approached the two, Valeria would slightly move away from him and closer to Ivan. He presumed this to be due to the fact that his appearance was far more alien than Ivan's.
Valeria continued to evade Mazur and refused to be close to him by herself. Mazur chased her around half the ship exasperatedly, yet still failed to catch her. He could dive in the fourth dimension and sneak up on her, but she could escape as soon as she sense him.
Feeling defeat for the first time since he fell into the hopelessness of old age, Mazur gave up on the pointless endeavour and went back to building the translator. The Poseidon's computer was more than capable of constructing a translation database for such an archaic kind of language.
Ivan soon ascended from the fourth dimension and arrived with a pale face beside Mazur.
"That's a pretty deep injury," Mazur pointed out while looking at his true body. "Did you meet a dangerous creature?"
"Yeah, it looked similar to a lion, but it had six legs and four red eyes. I decided to call it a Four-Eyed Devil Lion," Ivan stated factually before continuing after a brief hesitation, "If you meet it, just lie down and accept death. It's simply too strong."
"I'm not going to die now that I have just become a higher existence of life. There is too much for me to explore and experiment with," Mazur snorted contemptuously. "By the way, that little fox has been running around like mad looking for you. All you did was feed her, making me tempted to cut open her head to see if she has an imprinting mechanism in her brain."
"You just don't understand people. Don't touch her."
"Yeah, yeah, boss."
Ivan paid no more attention to Mazur. He had brought back a dead fish from this trip and a small pile of firewood pre-soaked in the energy water. A fire was soon lit and the two of them cut the fish up to roast. 
After eating, Ivan walked through the ship and found Valeria hiding in the corner of her room. As soon as she saw him, she calmly stood up and walked to quickly to follow behind him.
Ivan could tell she hadn't eaten so he led her to the kitchen to have something to eat. She refused to go though, instead wrapping her little hands around his and trying to drag him in a different direction.
Valeria pulled and tugged at Ivan as she led him to the side of the ship where an electro-shielded glass window provided a view of the world outside. She hastily said a few indecipherable words as she pointed to various points in the forest.
Ivan wasn't sure what she meant, but upon looking closer at where she was indicating, saw various Vulpes in military outfits discreetly spying on the ship.
"I see, so they've already spotted us," Ivan said indifferently. "Valeria, you go eat something, I'm going to take a closer look."
Ivan used body language to tell the little fox girl to go eat something before contacting Mazur over the Poseidon's internal communication line.
"I've spotted the local military hiding in the forest scouting us," Ivan spoke into the console near the door.
Mazur's voice lazily responded shortly afterwards, "Oh? They certainly found us quick."
"It was probably those Vulpes who escaped the other day. I'm going to go out and have a look at what's going on."
"Try not to be seen, if they get spooked and release a nuclear weapon, our ship most likely won't survive and we'll be stranded in this solar system for the next century at least."
Ivan agreed with him before moving through the fourth dimension to directly jump out of the ship, flashing through the air and disappearing into the forest like a shadow. He strolled through the sky amongst the tops of trees as he scouted the surroundings.
The Vulpes soldiers were more numerous than Ivan had initially expected. Only twenty or so soldiers were in the immediate surroundings monitoring the ship, but there were thousands deeper in. It was a country's military by the appearance of the. They had been shipping supplies to rapidly build defensive fortifications.
Ivan was greatly surprised at how much they had done in merely days. In order to arrive here with all this equipment, it was less likely that the escaped Vulpes gave away their positions and instead the world had detected their arrival.
Further out, near the edge of the forest, a large metal fence has been put off, cordoning off the area where the Poseidon was. Heavily armored trucks and tanks continued to drive into the forest, but they ran on some type of unique engine which produced very little amounts of noise.
Back in the ship, Mazur showed an interest in what was happening outside the world. He had managed to build a semi functioning translator and was rapidly improving it with his test subject.
Over two weeks, the military presence around the Poseidon continued to increase in force, to the point where they stationed defensive lines in the immediate surroundings of the ship. Every day, a man would come forth with a megaphone and call out to the ship in the Vulpes language.
Mazur had finally finished the translator and built a second one for Ivan. It was a simple device which they only had to speak into it and it would automatically translate it the Vulpes language into the galactic language, and vice versa.
"Can you understand me?" Ivan asked Valeria with the translator.
"Yes," Valeria answered with a nod, glancing nervously toward Mazur who was standing to the side observing the test and making notes in one of his research journals.
"Good, I need to test this thing quickly. Tell me, what is your name?"
"Kivsharr."
Ivan sighed reluctantly. For some reason, the little fox girl was adamant about calling herself by this name.
"It's not translating this word, Mazur. Is it actually her name?"
Mazur flicked through his research journal to double check some entries before replying, "No, it's not her name, but closer to a title. From what I leaned from Test Subject Alpha, a Kivsharr is someone who has been convicted of severe crimes. They have their name and identity taken from them before being banished from their race."
"Kivsharr is a term that can be understood as 'no name' or 'outcast'. They do not have any human rights, and can be beaten, or even killed, without consequence. The hole in her ear had been seared with a hot iron, like some kind of punishment. It is most likely a form of brand for her status. The fact that she is still alive today, is because none of the normal civilians wanted to risk their lives if she fought back."
Ivan nodded in understanding before turning to face the little fox-girl. "Valeria, did you understand that? Is it correct?"
Valeria stared at her feet as she gave a curt nod.
"What was your crime?"
"For stealing food, along with killing a few people in self defense."
Unlike her usual steadfast appearance, she was teary-eyed and held one hand over the hole in her ear. It was as if she was reliving the experience of being branded a Kivsharr, the despair she felt upon the sentence being made, the pain of the hole in her ear being cut out and seared with a hot iron, and the torment of being treated like an animal from thereon after.
Ivan felt sympathy for the little girl and wiped the tears out of her eyes.
'What the hell!' Ivan suddenly thought in a panic. 'Since when have I ever felt sympathy for some kid. Don't tell me, this is one of those damned side effects of Mazur implanting those memories into me!'
"Stop crying and pull yourself together, you're not weak like that," Ivan forced himself to ignore the girl's plight but took a softer tone as he tried to console her without being undignified. "Your name is Valeria, my first emplyee. That is all you need to think about. Now come with me, the translator works, so let's go meet those people shouting outside every day."
"Hey, don't I count as the first employee?" Mazur shamelessly chimed in.
Ivan rolled his eyes and responded, "Unpaid labor doesn't count as employment."
****
The base hatch of the cargo hold opened and formed a ramp to the ground. Ivan walked out with a table over his shoulder and Valeria towing behind with four chairs.
Vulpes soldiers saw this movement and rapidly begun moving in defensive position behind the sand bag barricades. Higher ranked officers shouted orders but the too many people's voices overlapped so Ivan's translator wasn't able to decipher it properly. While Mazur had a brilliant mind, there was only so much he could do in two weeks.
Ivan placed down the table and chairs and sat on one end with Valaria, while leaving the other two seats open. He turned and smiled to the soldiers currently pointing their assault rifles at him as he motioned toward the empty seats.
Even though no words were spoken, everyone understood Ivan's intentions and commands began to pass through the military encampment at a rapid pace. Not long after, two individuals strolled out of the encirclement and heading toward the makeshift meeting point.
One of the Vulpes was a tall military man covered in bulging muscles and carrying a domineering atmosphere with him. The second was someone of average size, dressed in a blue formal attire somewhat like a suit, but with overlapping folds of cloth which caused his collar and cuffs to flare out.
As the two Vulpes took a seat, Ivan placed the translator on the middle of the table and began by saying, "You may call me Ivan, and this is Valeria."
The device in the middle of the table quickly relayed the words into the Vulpes language. The military officer had extremely strict discipline, and ignored the presence of Valeria as he stared intently at Ivan.
The diplomat, or perhaps a kind of feudalistic noble under Ivan's speculation, didn't have that same discipline and couldn't help cover his mouth in distaste as he glance toward her.
Valeria lowered her head in shame, feeling out of place, but Ivan lifted her chin without even looking and commented, "Chin up. You represent me, so don't ever lower your head to someone else."
"What is your purpose in coming to this planet?" The military officer said unwaveringly.
Before Ivan could even think of a response, the diplomat raised his hand and waved it at the military officer. "Now, now, don't be so abrupt with our guest. This is our first meeting with life from other planets, and he appears human too. The first thing is learning about each other, such as culture.
"What part of that appears human? Just look at his eyes!" The military officer glared at the diplomat with anger clearly present. "I represent the safety of our citizens and ensuring the elimination of any hostile threats!"
"Ehem!" Ivan cleared his throat with a smile, his deep blue '+' shaped pupils drawing in the Vulpes attention. "I can answer one at a time. It's much simpler than you think, I was merely searching for someone to put my feet down. I am currently in the process of starting a unique company unlike no other, but to do so, I happen to need both a base of operations, and a plethora of skilled employees."

Ivan Storme was once a billionaire, a man who ruled with money. His company operated in all sectors across Earth and was publicly renowned. However, Ivan had built most of his power with shady and illegal means, often conducting inhumane actions for the sake of profit. When this information was discovered and released to the public, he was forced to flee or face a life sentence behind bars.

With all of his past accomplishments and fortune crumbling before him and with no path of survival in front of him, Ivan took desperate measures to escape pursuit. He contacted an illegal human experimentation facility and paid all the money he had on hand to be cryogenically frozen in stasis for 200 years when the technology to revive someone from such a state existed.

When he woke up from stasis and was expecting a new life in a highly developed world filled with flying cars and holographic projections, instead he woke up to an unfamiliar environment in a completely different galaxy..

Ivan was sure of only one thing. The time he slept for was definitely not 200 years.

P.S. I don't proofread or edit. Doing so annoys me far more than you would be reading it. It's pretty clean already so for any typos, treat them as me testing your adaptability. ^.^

This story is inspired by a book on RR or Royal Road called 
Posthuman I HIGHLY recommend it if you like Meta-Humans and post-Apocalypse story's!
Here is the link
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/22848/post-human
This story is the inspiration for mine so Yeah Please read it the author deserves it!

The construction of a Valsalrian spaceship was different from that of the Namekians. With a quick look, any human would recognize a Namekian spaceship from science fiction games and stories. 
Its structure was heavily based on metal frames and there was steel plating on its hull. Even its overall structure would not be too alien from Earthly designs. 
On the other hand, Valsalrian ships are like huge living creatures. With just a quick examination, Jiang Fei could feel traces of living organisms mixed in with the metal that made up the ship. 
Even though the structure was almost similar to a regular spaceship, the entire ship looked very much… alive. 
Jiang Fei was currently onboard one of the many scout ships Alexis used to explore planets and interplanetary bodies. It looked very much like a crab, except that it was huge and currently flying through space. 
Alexis explained that such a metal was simply called Bio-Metal. It is used to make up the external platings of a ship as it has self-repairing mechanisms. It sounded amazing but Jiang Fei could not help but feel like something was strange. 
The Valsalrian used Energy-based technology extensively, but they had never before applied it to their ship. As such, their ship's barrier tech was perhaps even weaker than Braveheart. 
However, Bio-Metal provides certain benefits that regular metal lacks. With its self-mending ability, a ship with Bio-Metal would last longer than one made from regular metal. Energy shields and barriers are dependent on Energy and when the ship runs out of power, so would their shields. 
Besides having the self-mending ability, Bio-Metal also has other special characteristics. Unfortunately, Alexis did not think it was important enough to explain it to Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei held back his curiosity, feeling like it would be too much for a new member to suddenly ask so many questions. 
After docking with the main cruiser, Alexis brought Jiang Fei onto the bridge with him and ordered a "jump". Jiang Fei thought that it would be some kind of large scale teleportation system, but when the ship started to move, Jiang Fei could not be more surprised. A hexagonal rift was generated by a Wayfinder that was hovering in front of the cruiser. 
"Commander, course set for Redstone. Ready for jump at your command," reported the pilot. 
"All hands, we are returning to base. Strap yourselves in," said Alexis, speaking into a device that broadcasted his command to the entire ship.
Before Jiang Fei could prepare himself, the ship made a sudden thrust forward and entered a phase space through the rift.
"Jiang Fei, we are going to the base of the Valsalrian army. It's going to be a lot harsher there. There are a lot of rules there so… watch yourself. You can still get away with a lot, but under no circumstances should you ever cross the young master. Not even I would be able to step in and save you if you did," said Alexis.
Alexis had his sights set on Jiang Fei becoming his right hand man and planned to train him until he reached that standard of strength. Until then, he doesn't want Jiang Fei to do something that would anger the young master. That would be such a waste of his life.
"I understand. Rules are there for a reason. Without them, we are all animals," said Jiang Fei. He knew that he was still too weak, and being a new member, it was best not to offend anyone.
Three hours later, the cruiser as well as other ships jumped out of the rift and arrived to a planet 120,000,000,000 light years away from the Milky Way Galaxy.
The last encounter between the Valsalrian with Ragnatos and Therazane was a pure coincidence. They were stranded in zero gravity when a fleet of Valsalrian bandits had just happened to sail past. Otherwise, it was extremely unlikely for any of the Valsalrian fleet to sail into the Milky Way galaxy or even into the Solar System at all.
About 10 minutes later, the cruiser docked on one of the planet's ports. The planet they had just landed on was twice the size of Earth, orbiting around a small Red Dwarf star.
From Jiang Fei's point of view, there was not much he could learn. Astrophysics was never his forte. All he knew was that the star was red and the planet was large.
Once the docking sequence was complete, Alexis and Jiang Fei boarded a shuttlecraft. The two then left the hangar bay and headed towards the surface of the planet. 
Everything was going smoothly until the door of the shuttlecraft opened. Jiang Fei felt a powerful, overbearing wave of gravity and it almost knocked him to the ground.
Both the cruiser and the shuttlecraft ran on their own artificial gravity systems. Even though the gravity on the ship was set to a level that was only slightly higher than that of Earth, he did not feel any difference since he's a Level 5 Metahuman. 
However, when the shuttlecraft landed and the artificial system was shut off, the planet's own gravity kicked in, measuring at a level of almost five times that of Earth!
"Urgh!" grunted Jiang Fei. He tried his best to prevent the pull of gravity from crushing his body.
"How are you feeling?" asked Alexis. 
"It was a bit of a shock, but I can still move," said Jiang Fei as he struggled to force himself to stand straight. He could literally feel his spinal discs crashing into each other as he speaks.
"I'm going to report in now. Take this time to get used to it. Go out and explore the place. We'll head to Central once you can move about freely," said Alexis.
Though the failure to retrieve the Core of Time was disappointing, it was never Jiang Fei's fault. As Alexis deduced, the Core might have never been in the Solar System at all. 
However, recruiting Jiang Fei as part of his crew was a good consolation prize, despite it being an achievement that Alexis would not want to report.
"I'll do my best," said Jiang Fei, as he tried to exert a little energy into his body to walk.
Once he was alone, Jiang Fei started to lower the amount of energy he poured into his body. Even though 5G could not do much to a Level 5 Metahuman like him, he was still slightly weakened. 
He had never experienced a g-force greater than that of Earth, having lived there since birth. With time, he would get used to things here.
If he was being honest with himself, Jiang Fei was actually thrilled. Being in such a harsh environment would only be beneficial to his growth. No wonder the Valsalrians were so strong — they had been living and fighting on a planet with such a high g-force!
After about 5 minutes, Jiang Fei was able to walk around slowly. It had been a while since just walking had made him need to catch his breath, and that was before he had picked up the almighty ring!
By dropping Alexis' name everywhere he goes, the entire base was practically his to explore. But Jiang Fei understood that while he might be in the Valsalrian base of operations, he was still a distance away from Central.
Alexis was on his way there, to meet with someone called the young master, leaving Jiang Fei alone in a strange, alien place. 
A voice rang out from his communicator. "Who are you?"
Jiang Fei turned around, searching for the source of the voice, and realized that there was a humanoid feline looking at him with her straight, cat-like eyes.
"Huh? Me?" replied Jiang Fei. 
He was genuinely surprised to hear such a comment coming from an alien species. The catgirl was speaking in fluent Mandarin! 
"Where are you from? What tongue do you speak?" asked the catgirl, cocking her head like a curious cat.
"You can understand me?" asked Jiang Fei. 
"Are you daft? You're wearing a translator device and you're still baffled about how I can understand you?!" said the catgirl, pouting.
"Translator…?" said Jiang Fei, reaching up to his ear. 
He had been wearing the same communicator device created by 0541 for a long time, and never realized that it had a translation system. 
"You're still not answering my question. Who are you?" said the catgirl, strutting towards Jiang Fei with her tail swinging side to side. 
"Uhm… I'm new here. I've just joined the band. Who might you be?" said Jiang Fei, stuttering all the way. 
"My name is Sarila. Where did you say you were from again?" said Sarila as she sniffed Jiang Fei's surroundings.
"I'm from Earth and I'm speaking one of the thousands of languages we have there," said Jiang Fei.
"Earth… What a stupid name for a planet. Might as well call it dirt. Anyway, Commander Alexis sent me here to pick up someone called Jiang Fei. My guess is, that's you," said Sarila as she stopped sniffing around. She had probably picked up his scent from Commander Alexis.
"Indeed, I am." 
If Alexis had sent her over to tend to Jiang Fei, he must also have a plan for his future in Redstone.
"Come. I'll have you report to the Recruit Training Ground," said Sarila, spinning around and walking off. 
The catgirl was only curious about Jiang Fei's musical-sing-songy language and nothing more. Still struggling to keep up with her speed, Jiang Fei was coming across as a weak being.
If he couldn't even adapt to Redstone's gravity, he would not be able to go much further.

Ren immediately stood up when he noticed Conor coming by. But Ren remained there, waiting for Conor to come closer. Conor furrowed his eyebrows. Did this boy wait for him until this late? He couldn't help but to be reminded again by his dog in his previous life.

"What is it?" Conor asked with a slightly hoarse voice. He was out the whole day, definitely tired from all the stuff that was happening. Even right now, his eyes were ready to shut down.

Ren noticed the lethargic Conor, and let out a worried face. Looking at this boy in front of him, Conor wanted to laugh. Just three days ago, Conor was afraid of this boy. And now, Ren looked no more dangerous than a cat. Even though the unsettling aura Ren let out was a different story.

"Just say it, what do you want?" Conor asked again.

Hearing that, Ren proceeded to speak. He looked like he was thinking for a while before opening his mouth.

"Where was?"

Conor didn't catch what Ren meant before finally concluded that Ren asked where he was. Ren's pronunciation was awkward and the sentence structure had something missing. But considering Ren had memorized hundreds of words by three days, and was able to understand simple conversation was amazing nonetheless.

"Just taking care of something" Conor replied. But Ren was silent. His face was clearly puzzled.

Conor sighed, maybe his words were too complicated.

"Work" Conor said again. Conor didn't particularly go to work, but he was quite confused about what word to describe what he did. Therefore, Conor just let out anything on his mind.

Hearing the word he was familiar with, Ren's face turned serious. He had a convinced look from his eyes.

"I too, work" Ren said, still with his awkward sentence.

But this time, Conor truly didn't get what Ren was saying. Conor thought that Ren might said that he wanted to work too, but what kind of person would want work when they could spend their days peacefully without any worries?

It was then, Conor felt a cold mysterious aura appearing out of nowhere, along with an amicable voice.

"He's been saying that he wanted to work"

Lou was standing behind Conor, smiling with his usual friendly look. But the way this assassin showed up almost gave him heart attack.

"Can you warn me before showing up?" Conor stepped back, trying to calm down his beating heart.

"Oh, did I scare you, Young Master? My apologies" Lou gave him a worried face which seemed genuine, but it made Conor irritated instead.

"Anyways, he really said that?" Conor asked, while pointed to Ren with his chin.

"Well I think so" Lou said, and then also shifted his gaze to Ren. "Right, Ren?"

Ren nodded, his face was still as serious as before.

"Yes, I want work" Ren said. He still looked up to Conor with a determined gaze.

Conor sighed. He just wanted to rest, and he held on because he thought it was an important matter. But the matter Ren wanted to talk about was just this?

"You don't need to" Conor said coldly. He was a little cranky now that he know it was something insignificant.

But Ren shook his head in disagreement. "No free meal. For thanks" He added.

Conor once again was thinking hard to figure out what Ren was saying. But he didn't need to, thanks to Lou.

"He said that he feels bad to receive housing and meals for free. So he wants to return the favor" Lou translated what Ren wanted to say. Hearing the word that he let out in a complete sentence, Ren quickly nodded in agreement.

"Well, what a useful translator" Conor said being sarcastic.

"Thank you" Lou smiled, as if unaffected with the sarcasm.

Conor was slowly getting annoyed again at this butler. If only he could change him for someone else, he would do that right now. But he held himself back since he wanted to be in a good term with Viscountess Nadia for now.

"I've been wondering, but why don't Young Master use Translation Device?" Lou suddenly asked.

Conor eyed Lou with a lazy look, as if the answer was something obvious. Well, Conor actually didn't have any obligation to explain it to begin with. That was why he just replied with the most simple answer.

"I don't have it" Conor said.

But the butler didn't give up.

"I know that it costs a fortune, but it's probably nothing to Young Master" Lou continued. Conor didn't know if this butler was trying to dig information from Conor, or just to satisfy his own curiosity. 

Everyone in this novel universe knew that magic devices, including translation device were expensive. But they were still varied greatly in their prices. Translation device could only specifically be made by a mage proficient in both of the languages of translation. Therefore, the difficulty to find someone proficient in a certain language dictated the price of a translation device. That was why translation devices that could translate elven language or beastkin language only appeared at auctions. Meanwhile, a translation device for a mere human language might be expensive, but still affordable to nobles like Conor.

However, Lou failed to consider one thing.

"His language is not registered" Conor said.

Lou tilted his head, baffled. Seemed like he didn't expect that there was a human language which was out of reach in this world.

"Then, where is he from?" Lou finally asked.

But Conor had no intention to answer that question. Moreover, Lou should already know it from Viscountess Nadia. The fact that Ren came through The Mountain Range of Death.

"You should ask the person himself" Conor said, eyeing Ren who lost in the conversation. Ren just learned Araun Kingdom language for three days. He couldn't possibly catch up with all the difficult words.

"Oh, Young Master know it already?" Lou asked.

"No, I don't know" Conor replied hastily, and quickly turning away from Lou.

Before Lou could ask him more, Conor immediately called out to Ren.

"And you, Ren"

Ren quickly put his attention to whatever Conor would say.

"First, learn the language. Then, work. Okay?" Conor said in the most simplest way, for Ren to understand.

Ren looked a little dejected hearing that. But he replied to Conor anyways.

"Yes" Ren said weakly.

In truth, Conor just didn't want Ren to had a reason to stay longer in the mansion. As Ren would bring nothing but trouble to Conor.

But, when Conor thought about it again, there was nothing wrong with letting Ren work. He would leave the mansion in the future anyways. Also, he just had a clever idea that would save him trouble.

"Wait" Conor called out to Ren, who was still standing in front of him looking dispirited.

"If you want to work, then why don't you work under Lou?" He said to Ren.

But the one who replied to him was Lou, who heard his name being mentioned.

"Huh? But..." Lou lost his words. Conor smiled internally, as he was ecstatic seeing Lou so unwilling like this.

"It's not like you have other work other than serving me right? You understand Ren better than me. That's why I think you could be a good partner for Ren to practice his speech. Isn't that perfect?" Conor said, while Lou was looking at him with a slight displease. It was barely noticeable even for Conor.

Ren was somehow understand that he finally got approved to work, therefore he nodded with a happy face.

"Seems like Ren also agrees. You have any problem with it, Lou?" Conor asked, he had a triumphant look on his face.

Lou, who had no reason to refused finally gave in.

"No" Lou said with a strong voice, but Conor knew Lou was internally despondent.

Conor smiled. His mood uplifted in just a second. With this, at least Lou wouldn't have so much free time to bother him anymore.

"Well, then I will arrange it tomorrow, so why don't you guys go to sleep now?" Conor motioned for the two of them to leave. And then quietly muttered to himself.

"Why are you guys still awake at this time anyways?"

But Ren who heard of the mutter replied to Conor.

"This time, I always awake. Can't sleep" Ren said without any burden.

But Conor, who knew how Ren lived until now could understand what he meant. Ren had been wandering around The Lawless Land of Demons in hiding. He was almost killed a thousand times by the demons, leaving him with no choice but to live in The Mountain Range of Death. However, the Mountain Range of Death was way worse than the demons. There, the strong ruled the weak. Countless strong monsters were wandering around, leaving Ren wide awake. He couldn't have a nice long sleep without being afraid of dying anytime.

Therefore, Conor could see why Ren wasn't able sleep easily even though there wasn't any danger anymore.

"He said that he is always awake around this time because he can't-" Lou once again acted as a translator, but Conor cut him.

"I know, you don't need to translate it" Conor said, motioning Lou to stop.

Conor was a little empathetic as he knew how hard it was being insomniac. If Ren couldn't sleep, then would having a friend beside him helped Ren to relax? Conor didn't know. But Ren was always alone, and maybe a friend figure would help him.

"Lou, you don't have a roommate right?" Conor asked.

Everyone who worked in the mansion had roommate or two. However, a servant serving a member of the household actually got a better treatment by having their own rooms.

As if sensing a bad premonition, Lou was hesitant to reply "Yes..."

"Then you can move to Ren's room. I think his room is bigger than yours" Conor said, satisfied with his decision. It was clearly a win situation for him as he could create a perfect distance from Ren, and also kept Lou away from him. It would also be nice if both of them were getting closer just like Elmer and Lou in the novel.

Ren who could understand the gist of what Conor said was baffled by the sudden arrangement. But Ren neither complained or being happy with it as Ren didn't actually mind having a roommate.

With that, Ren and Lou were sent back to their rooms. Lou would start to move his stuff in the morning, as it was already past midnight. 

When finally left alone, Conor yawned. It was past his bedtime already. As he was about to open the door to his room, he saw a mysterious man in the garden through the window.

The figure stood in front of the largest tree in the garden, touching the bark with his right hand. Conor could not see him clearly since he stood in the shade, where the moonlight couldn't reach him. However he knew that it was definitely Elmer.

Seeing Elmer, Conor suddenly got reminded of his promise with Viscount Marcel. He promised to persuade Elmer to be the heir. He originally planned to approach Elmer slowly, but he got no time to start doing it ever since Lou came. He was really distracted by Lou that he couldn't put his mind to Elmer.

Conor sighed.

Conor was actually really tired, and in a dire need of sleep. However, he couldn't miss this perfect coincidence. He didn't know any opportunities to meet Elmer except for dinner time. And Elmer would definitely be wary if Conor just suddenly visit him out of nowhere.

With that in mind, Conor sluggishly walked his way to the garden.

---

Elmer stood in front of an oak tree, the largest tree in this garden. He had a nightmare, and couldn't go back to sleep. He decided to take a walk to the garden, hoping that he could calm down after seeing his friend. Elmer looked up to see the whole tree, and smiled softly. Maybe in this house, the only one who could see his angelic smile was the one and only friend he had.

Elmer touched the bark gently.

"It's been a while" He said with his genuine smile.

"The storm had been bad these days. I'm glad that today is clear" Elmer continued, while looking at the clear starry sky. The crescent moon looked pretty that night. He thought that the garden was really beautiful with the moonlight shining upon it.

Elmer looked down at the tree again. However, he could see a shadow of a man stood behind him.

Surprised, Elmer quickly turned to the owner of the shadow. Under the moonlight, Elmer could see the familiar brunette hair, and a honey colored eyes. A feature resembled him.

Seeing Conor there, Elmer froze. Out of anyone, Conor was the least person he expected to be here. He was just hoping out of the slim chance, that Conor didn't hear anything he said.

"Hello, Brother" Conor greeted him.

There was a short silence before Conor took a glance at the oak tree behind Elmer.

Conor smiled. However, Elmer became even more alert.

"I see that you still talk to that friend of yours" Conor said.

The moment after she died, Aki suddenly woke up in a novel she read as Conor Tandefelt, the second son of Tandefelt family notoriously known as an asshole who only drink and play with women during his life. 

The problem was, Aki knew that Conor would be killed off early in the novel, unjustly convicted of a crime he didn't do. 

Didn't want to experience a second death, Aki started scheming her way to avoid the conviction and thinking of retiring early with the Tandefelt family wealth.

[as weird as it may seem this character is a human scientists well that's not weird I guess but they have been tasked with exploring and researching the kindergarten I'll be writing it like a log book occasionally putting a drawing in maybe or not I don't know how I feel about my drawing yet.]

Day 1 
Hello my name is Andrew Amber Stone scientists of the _______________ system of _____________and discovery I have been sent to this alien outpost discovered when some aliens came to this location we don't know what it's purpose is but these aliens don't seem too familiar with the location although one of them seems to fit surprisingly well in one of the holes so we have the understanding that they are connected but it's been a few days since they have returned so I have been given the green light to start dissecting and analyzing this place so for today I'm gonna start on the text I feel it will be an integral part of figuring this place out I'm also gonna be collecting foreign minerals and resources that seem interesting.

day 2
It seems the text is a combination of different symbols and shapes I can't figure it out on my own although I found what I assume to be a lengthy letter or message of some sort so I'll send it back to the main base for further analysis and creation of a translator for now I will begin experimentation on the materials I have gathered to start I managed to pull a chunk of mineral off one of these virus looking structures that after some reverse engineering of a broken structure I found to be some sort of injecting device but the content of the device had already been expended for me to analyze further but after further analysis of this material I'll delve into more complete version of this structure.

-start log-
day 3
The alien text seems more difficult that previously assumed but I hear with ower best decoders and language specialists I should have a cipher by tomorrow but anyway I found that the material seems to be a strange stone gem like structure but with a naturally grown and somewhat manufactured combination to allow signals to be passed through the very walls of the structure itself interestingly it appears the energy powering the injectors has since faded so I should be able to cut my way into one of the complete injector structures I'll begin work on this tomorrow.
-end log-

-start log-
day 4
I already cut into one of the structures and found a clean and intricate wiring system thought the cables are made of a more pure gem like material that seems to carry signals stronger than the outer walls I'll reverse engineer the circuit system but try to substitute the hard gem like wiring with normal cables the more interesting thing I found is a strange sort of sparkling colored liquid there are many colors that combine before being injected what's more strange is the pink liquid seems to be the follow up but there is less of it in the divice maybe it's a limited resources or it's hard to produce so they have to use it sparingly I've packed it up for now because I will need to further analyse it in my near by lab for now I got the cipher so I'll try to uncover some information about this alien outpost.
-end log-

-start log-
day 5
after reading some of the text I have discovered this place is called the kindergarten and also confirmed my assumptions of the many structures that decorate the landscape they are in fact injectors but it seemes with a combination of the liquids alien technology and material from earth they are able to produce more of there kind but that brings up multiple questions if we some how are able to coexist with the aliens can we consider the ones made on earth as part of ower own and if not what will humans do to the earth one would we exile them from ower planet or keep them as objects I feel that would be unethical so I'll keep it quite for now but I want to see if there is something I can do to combine the two technologys but for that I am gonna need more research and materials so I'm gonna draw some blueprints and search for more materials.

[to be continued]

66 million years ago, an object flew towards the earth and collided with a massive asteroid. It got damaged and shutdown as it got on flames produced by the earth's atmospheric pressure and crashed at a distance from a roaring dinosaur and soon fire covered everywhere. 

        Year 2055, in the Museum of Paleontology California, a group of 12th grade students watched the huge mass of fire crash on the earth and the epidemic happen with the aid of a  realistic hologram, some watched with fear and others with amusement as the animals struggled for survival while few uninterested in the seminar secretly played pranks on others. The seminar ended with the image of the world we now know standing still and gradually fading away as the lights came on, then students with questions raised their hands to ask the young female historian their questions, Holland Stark a student who has been paying attention since the beginning of the seminar also asked his question when pointed by the historian.How sure are you, that it was just an asteroid that hit the earth and not anything else. The historian looked at him wondering why he would ask such a question and answered. Well from our discover in the late 1970s when the Chicxulub crater was found proves that it was an asteroid that hit earth". She then points to a boy behind Holland who was now about to secretly play a prank on Holland for his question since he had also raised up his hand which he did for fun.... What is the colour of your underwear?", He asked after thinking of what to say then he and his friends laughed. The historian feeling quite uncomfortable by the question looked around desperately for anything to use as a distraction and saw the fossil bones of Brachiosaurus a few sections away then she answered him. I believe that is not the reason you are here.... so if you don't mind we should move over to the next section. She led them to the fossil bones.This is a Brachiosaurus, It is one of the tallest creatures believed to have walked the earth over 145 million years ago due to it's incredibly long neck, it's bones were first in the year 1903 in ....."What if such asteroid crashes on earth again?. Holland interrupts with a question before the historian could finish her statement. It won't!, she answered with confidence. But from school we are told that an asteroid once almost crashed on earth again, so what makes you so sure another won't?". The historian now getting tired of the boys questions answered. "Because... We now have Alpha deep in space to protect us so anything that comes toward the earth without permit will disintegrate before it comes anywhere near earth. Anyways enough with the questions and I have something to show you all. She then pressed a toe on the on fossil bones and holograms of little Brachiosaurus showed eating grasses in a field. The students all shouted in amusement as a hologram of an adult Brachiosaurus walked into the field roaring with pterosaurs flying in the sky above it and the little Brachiosaurus ran away. Holland sees a huge frame on the wall beside the section they stood which contained a flat clay portrait of a roaring T-rex and flame above it, it catches his attention and he moved to it starring deeply at the flame.
     
         Years later, an helicopter fly's in the Pacific during a storm. A structure comes out from the ocean a launch bay opened and the helicopter flew down. An older Holland in his late twenties came out from the helicopter to meet the official in the hangar, they both exchanged pleasantries and a handshake before the official led him to an elevator. Holland could see the ocean and the aquatic life that swam pass with the aid of the transparent glasses on the elevator as the official told him about the ongoing construction of a transport station underneath the ocean and how it will make transportation between far away countries possible within minutes by traveling through the earth's core, he also told him what they had found and his job was to find out what it was. The lights in the elevator became brighter as they reached the dark part of the ocean and soon underneath. The elevator reached it's depth, opened and they came into a busy space undergoing construction with a crater at the middle. The crater was covered with glass, the official moved to the glass with Holland behind and swiped his card on the security system for access, they got in and on seeing the machine Holland moved to it swiftly, dropping his bags he knelt down to have a feel of the dusty machine, it's unearthed design and structure, the R like symbol at the top, it's damaged part and particularly the metals used to make it which non exists on earth then explained it to the official. He also noticed that the soil in the crater was combined with small pieces of metal which where from the damaged part of the machine, he brought out a device from his bag which he used to scan for other particles in the crater and found particles of an asteroid scattered around. is it from earth?, the official asked. Probably not, judging from it's strange design and metals that exists only deep in space with the traces of asteroid on it which means it was hit by one, got damaged and crashed here,Holland answered. He then see's a writing in an unrecognized language on both sides of the machine, he brought out his translator from his bag and scanned the writing to translate them into English. The translator translated the writing incredibly slow and Holland tells the official that he will be needing some samples to take home for better processing, the official agreed and he took a piece of metal from the damaged part, he also took pictures of it from all possible angles. Before leaving, he told the official to tell his workers not to touch anything until he gets back.

66 million years after the Unfortunate incident of the dinosaur a mysterious machine with traces of asteroid on it is found underneath the Pacific Ocean. The earth then faces destruction as Humanity tried destroying what they do not understand but things get worst when aliens got involved and started kidnapping humans and turning them into aliens. Will Man also escape these treats find out....
