12 Exploring The Store and a Look around the Citadel (1/2)

Location C-Cell Prison holding area. Azul Sunstrider is leaning against a cell meditating. In his new standard pose hands folded across his chest, legs spread mulling over the events of the previous moments. Also trying to suppress the pain from his injuries. If he lays down he knows he will not be able to get up. The best option is to stand, lean, and recoup.

(Alright System give me the info, well the results of what happened.)

System: Cerebus Node applied: Bonus to Strength +1 and Willpower +2. Weapon, Armor, Tech and Reverse Engineering bonus applied. The attribute applied to the Constitution.

Class Specific Pull 1x, recommend for an Infiltrator, it is needed. Points have been awarded and added to the total.

(How the hell do I get out of this prison? I don't like it here and fucking health is crap. Why is there nothing but corrupt officers here?)Second time in prison and the kicker it wasn't for something I did or an actual crime, this was getting as bad as me passing out.

System: You will be able to leave here in a few hours. About your health, while in the hospital you were cured of the poison that crippled your body and ate away at your biotic abilities. With your training from the Lin-Kuei and Lifeshaper, your body will begin to adapt and become stronger. The section off officers that arrested you are corrupt. Due to the Garrus Vakarian incident, your case is under review, charges will need to be more deeply pressing or concerning to keep you locked up.

(Well damn System that's just peachy. Can I use System points to buy a way out?)

System: You can buy ways from the store or items to get you out, but it would be a waste of points. It is recommended you do not do that, it's a path of waste that is hard to break away from.

(Sure...no promises but I won't right now. This is a good time for you to explain the store function.)

System: The Store can be used to purchase all manners of equipment, aesthetics, medical, companions, quest items, bodies, transformations, genetics, and System specific functions.

Criteria can be used for specific searches for regular purchases and for pull's that are one. However for the later for each criterion that is used ... the quality of the individual is decreases the same for other pull's as well.

(Why is that? Does the System just want random or something?)

System: The pull's are denizens from different games as you call them. Most are at either at the end of there ropes are close to death. Some also just don't like what happened to them and there loved ones. A User allows them to reshape the outcome of what happened and change for the better. Some just want to experience what can happen in a different world. The Core of the System gains the information to better each new User and every world that is born as well as making the New World's that are created more viable. If the games that are being pulled are from ones you have experienced, the individuals will gain power from recognizing the leader who lead them giving a boost in understanding and growth as well.

(Well damn. that is good to know. I feel like I am forgetting something but it can't be too important. Time to use some of these pulls I have,waste not want not right. System use Class Specific Pull 1x for Infiltrator you said right.) Couldn't help feeling bummed about Tali, wonder if I could have recruited her it would have been sweet. (Wait System is she dead? Is Tali dead? Is Chari ok?) I could feel my heart clenching my emotions went out of control real quick.

System: Wisdom Check Auto Passed due to Meditation

My thoughts became tranquil right after. (What the hell was that. I can feel my heart slowing down back to normal. My thoughts went right back to what pull I received. Tali and Chari well being went to the back of my mind during this. All my worry was in the back of my mind while the new wonder I was gonna receive was in the front.) I felt relieved that I still cared but more happy about the ability to prioritize now.

System: Pull commencing for Infiltrator.. searching with criteria.. adding the bonus from Class Specific Pull 1x.. Final Fantasy realm X-2 locked due to mass casualties. Narrowing down to influence fromUser. A survivor has been detected.. match for class found... commencing to open channel for dialogue.. link established. User best of luck.

(Wait what the hell happened here. Who the hell am I talking to?) Damn it System you could explain if I was gonna be the one doing the talking beforehand.

????: Hello!? Damn, answer me! We are dying help a woman out here.

(Hey there umm Mrs. so what's the problem you have there? I can help maybe. Don't know the situation just yet. So feel me in. Are you the only person left? ) Me and the System are gonna have to have a talk about all these women it keeps introducing me to. Did I ask the right questions?

????: First of all, it's miss never had time to get married. Or a date for that matter. This is not what we need to be talking about. We are getting overrun by sin spawn. All the crusaders are dead me and a few soldiers are all that are left. I don't have time for a butt load of questions that damn Goddess said you could help me. All I have to do is serve you, right? That is better than death. I kick ass for you steal what you need stolen and sneak in where needed. That I can do no problem.Also, you help save my world easy peasy.

(Umm.) The system dropped the ball on this one I can't just save her and her world. Not with the strength, or mind, I have on that matter. ( Listen I am not gonna lie to you I can help you maybe but that is in the future down the road. As I am now I most likely would get us both killed. I don't have that many resources or personnel at my disposal so yeah...the choice is yours.)

????: So you are saying you will try, that is good enough for me. The Goddess said something along those lines as well. If you would have said something different I would have chopped your nards off the youngster. I agree Boss man let's do whatever you gotta do.

(How about you don't cut those off I wanna have children. You know threating your boss that way is a bad way to get fired.) Who just threatens to cut off someone's nards. Who the hell can this old woman be? (System we have come to an agreement do what you have to do.

System: Extracting pull.. restructuring her body.making optional for Mass Effect universe. Magic has been adapted to biotics and body. Passing on info of current world, Will notify when ready. Disconnecting link.

(Well that was something else. So System or should I call you Goddess instead? Whats' the deal with the world she is from.? I understand it's Final Fantasy X-2 but why is there an overrun of sin pawn? Thought it was manageable to a point they would die out or would be killed out.) I never beat that game all the way I don't know the full ending but only what I read. That doesn't make sense.

System: Either is fine, for they are both who and what I am. The world she is from experienced a cataclysmic event. Its world has heavily been influenced and the events of the first game still happened, however, the residents were killed in much higher numbers that they almost became extinct. During the two year interval to the other half, the sin spawn became more dangerous and volatile. It also leads to the resurrection of Sin also known as Jecht as he was able to take a humanoid form and infect the residents turning them all into monster's as well or creatures like him. With you agreeing to help The System is now able to help that world. You will be sent to the first game to help in the future helping as needed or influencing for the most part. However, that is for the future, for now, you have work to do here.

(Well shit, I guess I need to step my game up it seems. System how can I get stronger? Also, why am I in here in this cell?) Going to Final Fantasy X sounds kool, wonder who I will meet or where I will start I don't wanna get crushed by a giant Sin tsunami like Tidus.

System: Continue this mediation it is allowing your neural network to advance. As well as advancing your LinKuei powers. Browse the shop or the bargain bin for strength.

(Give me the bargain bin list since I need to save system points.) What to buy I wonder I was getting excited till my meditation kicked in relaxing me making mind tranquil.

Hour's later I found some things I was gonna purchase.

System: Get ready you are getting ready to leave. Your new companion has made it as well.

(That's good news. Done shopping I think this would do maybe I should rethink this?)
