Chapter 169: System’s Apology
While Eric was navigating the social minefield of the Academy courtyard a very different kind of meeting was taking place within his own internal domain.
Adam seated on his metaphorical sofa was dressing down Millennia his sentient System Interface.
His voice a low dangerous growl that resonated through his personal pocket dimension was filled with a cold simmering rage.
"Millennia," he began his tone deceptively calm yet laced with an undeniable fury "I did not expect this from you. You failed me."
The [System Interface: Millennia] hovering before him displayed no visible expression on its smooth glowing surface. Yet its responses the words that materialized on its interface were filled with a profound sense of apology.
"[Master Adam please forgive me]" the text read.
The light of the interface flickered slightly as if in trepidation in fear.
"[I did not fully comprehend your instructions. I did not understand the true scope of your plans. This failure is mine and mine alone. I will rectify this oversight immediately.]"
As the words appeared on the screen Millennia began to act. A surge of data a flow of new information and commands went from the main System to the Sub-Systems it had provided to all the new and old members of Adam’s group The New Warriors.
It began to grant them extra latent skills abilities that would lie dormant within them until they were needed.
And at the same time it began to actively monitor them. Not just for emotional instability or betrayal but for any and all external threats. It was now a constant vigilant watch over their physical well-being.
