{Spend 23 upgrade points}
{Commencing upgrade/ Estimated time for upgrade completion 0:30:50}
Just thirty minutes for an upgrade, well that's a whole lot more faster than I thought. But even so I still didn't understand how the Acheron's evolution worked, there was no definite level progression, especially when it last took it three days for the entire ship to evolve, I guess all I had to do was play the waiting game, it wouldn't take the Acheron long to evolve anyway.

Everything was very different from the last time I gave it a look, and one very obvious fact that gave me a shock was the fact that the upgrade of her skills actually made her stats level up. It shocked the heck out of me, I knew that the upgrade points could also be used to evolve her stats, but this was even better than using the points.
At the very least I've learnt something quite important about the Acheron, and that's the fact that her stats was based on the total sum of every single thing on her, including her skills. So if you grew that, her stats would grow in turn, making for a well rounded and easily growing ship. We'll just have to see what the future holds.
I made my way towards Darke and gave him a nod while I took in the sights of the sea around me. It would be quite some time before the Acheron surfaces again, and that would only be at the most necessary of moments. After all it would be a whole lot harder to find a ship under the sea than above it, especially one that wants to remain hidden.

I felt the Acheron shake a bit as the her central mast shook, then retracted into the deck along with the folded sails. From the side of the ship, tiny hexagonal shields made of gleaming silver metal began to stretch and overlap over each other until the entire deck area was covered. Based on the shape of the shield above our heads and the prior shape of the ship, I would say we looked like a massive silver and black whale.
The shield did not block out the sights, as we could still see the sky, though I very much doubt anyone would be able to see inside. It was like a one way window, with you only being able to see inside from one side, while the other would be completely blank, but in this case it wasn't a mirror but metal. Complex holographic equations and nautical lines began showing up above our heads on the shield, it was as if I was looking at a nautical chart or map, and with the way it was moving and had detail's, this was practically all the places we've been before. It was quite a sight.
The ship began her descent then, the sea on her sides seemingly parting to give her access into the darkness below. Her descent just like many things about her was a thing of beauty. And finally we found ourselves completely within the embrace of the sea, with the surface forgotten and left behind until further notice.
The shield above our heads lit up, the sea beyond it was exposed to us in a manner that left chills in my bones and ideas in my head. It was like looking through a night vision goggles, but everything from heat sensors, motion sensors, bacteria and viral detectors and completely 360 degree radar that encompassed both the top and bottom of the ship. And with every stride the ship made, it was learning and recording the life forms within 3 kilometers of it, and even more crazy was the fact that it was mapping the seas.
”Seriously Dude, where the hell did you get this ship from?” Raven Song asked with his mouth wide open. Unfortunately I didn't have an answer for him, I was just as shocked.
