World Seed

After getting back to the ship, I had Yo report to Celeste in order to have those memories extracted and searched for relevant information. While I could probably do so myself, Celeste is a better obvious choice for this, given that she would be able to better understand any technical information uncovered. As for myself, after ‘dying’, I made my way to the bridge.

“Damage report.” I said as I arrived, looking at the crew members who were busily looking at their terminals.

“Three shield emitters were damaged in the fight, captain. We have the materials to repair them, but it will take time.”

After hearing the report, I nodded my head. “How long?” We were on a rather tight schedule as things were, if I wanted to have this all wrapped up before my grove underwent its next evolution.

“If we get the Deus Ex to help us with converting the raw materials into the proper components and have them help with installation… three days, maybe.” I felt my eyes twitch slightly when I heard that.

“Alright… Do it.” I said with a low groan. We didn’t know when we would be finding their true main base, but any base that we went to through their warp gate would likely be heavily defended. We couldn’t afford to go in without all of our systems working at their top performance, especially not our shields.

Receiving the order, they began placing calls to the various nearby ships to ask for help in expediting the repairs. As for me, I gave a slight glance to the countdown for my grove. I wanted to be sure to know just how close we were cutting it.
