2022-06-23 12:48:47Adam was running at his maximum speed for 5 minutes, he didn't feel tired nor fatigued, but he used 7 energy points of the 13 he had when he finished the upgrade, he wondered if this is normal.
'is this the normal energy consumption while running?!' he asked. before getting the symbiote he would eat so little and digest the normal way, which had many waste. However, he never needed to eat this much, he is now burning energy so fast by just moving around.
[energy consumption rate is natural, 7 energy points were used to run a distance of 5.8 kilometers in 5.12 minutes.]
Adam looked at the information at the screens in front of him, he confirmed that what the symbiote said was quite accurate.
The normal human would not be able to maintain a sprint for 5 minutes, and the trained athletes would not be able to run at 76 kph, unless modified of course.
'ok then, enough playing around.' He said as he headed back to his room. 'what about that fighting technique?! How am I going to learn it! Don't tell me its thoughts projection!' remembering the pain when he projected Birdy's comic, he shuddered. 'I never want to experience that again, especially not after 12 hours of pain.'

'I feel tired just thinking about that, I'm going to sleep first and think about it later.' As his body cooled down from the previous running, he felt his mind unable to even take a decision, so he went to sleep.
…
In the central tower, in one of the monitoring rooms, Johnny Slowind was disconnecting himself from the tower, the cables connecting him to the walls retracted to his body one by one leaving a hole that instantly healed on the wall, and leaving no mark or scar or any thing that can reveal his modification on his body.
His black eye turned green as he grabbed his shirt holding it in his hand, he opened the door of the dark room and the blinding light assaulted his right eye making it half closed, his left eye that was previously black not effected.
He walked in a long curved corridor, half naked, his neatly sculpted muscles contracting and relaxing with each movement in a coordinated dance.
"Johnny! Did Elma invite you to that dinner?!" said a man in exited while closing a door similar to the one Johnny got out from.
"yeah, but I have things to do, sorry!" Johnny replied in an apologetic tone. 'thank god that break out didn't happen in my shift, and now I have a day off! I won't have to deal with it.' He happily thought.
…
"Adam!!" Sydni yelled in high pitch voice. "did you call your father yet?!"
"Excuse me ma'am." A figure suddenly risen from the ground, which startled Sydni and made her fall down from the massaging sofa she was reclining on.
"The owner is currently asleep, if it's an urgent matter I shall awake him, is it an urgent matter?!" he said in formal manner, he looked like an old respectful white skinned man, attired in a formal black suit, with gloves on both hands, he had a well groomed white beard, and smooth white short hair swept back.
"are you the house system?!" Sydni's eyes widened, she never saw a house system before, seeing the cluster fabric walls before she knew that a system must be installed, but a house system is not just any system.
A house system can manage and preserve the house even if the owner is away for years, it can also buy and store the daily necessities according to the settings and preferences of the owner.
Every different model had its perks and specialties, Sydni knew these things because she dreamed about having one, a house system is like a loving mother and a caring made. unlike a car system or a device or robot system, a house system can be allowed to have a certain amount of intelligence, to actively learn its owner's preferences and adjust to them.
Although a system may appear sentient, it's not. it's only acting according to previous programming. even a house system is not sentient, it is the closest to it though.
"What model are you!" she asked with her eyes shining while she was circling the man figure in front of her.
"pardon me, the owner prefers to keep any information about the house a secret." He respectfully lowered his head while speaking, if Sydni didn't just watch it appear from the ground, she wouldn't even know it's not a real man.
"then don't wake him up!! I just wanted to check on him." Sydni sighed and stepped away from the system's robot, she knew that a machine doesn't change its mind. "remind him to call his father when he wakes up, and tell him that I'll be back at 4 pm."
"affirmative. What would you like for dinner ma'am?" Sydni's eyes shone, she had a golden chance at her hand.
If the house system asks her about her preferences, it means that the owner considers her a trusted guest. The difference between normal guests and trusted guests is that a trusted guest can come and go as they please.
Sydni had a very vicious idea in her head, but she quickly shacked it of. She wouldn't do that to any one, not to mention a little kid.
She ordered a very long list of preferences though, Adam will have to approve of them first any way.
When she finished, she opened the door, which opened normally, the cluster fabric would not react to any one other than the owner.
Her car came to her as she exited the building, she entered the car and gave it the coordinates. "143-29 2nd street. Blue"
Arriving at her destination, Sydni instructed the car to stop at a rooftop café, she go t out of the car and sat on one of the tables, she was nervous to do this, she was going to meet with someone she didn't see for so long.

Unhealthy ego.
The dense smooth ball fell to the ground, bypassing the gravity field that previously contained it. It plunged a few centimeters deep into the hard metal floor, a ton of force was concentrated in a small area, making it hard to contain it by regular matter. It was still sinking through the metal floor slowly, as it was being mercilessly pulled by the planet’s gravity.[Connection established. recalculating blueprints to adapt to the signal of the new nanite cluster fabric. More physical contact with the material is required for a faster result.]“Was it successful?!” Keet’s eyes were asking the question before he even moved his lips. He was startled by the sudden disengagement of the sphere from the gravity field. He kept his eyes and scanners on Adam to detect if he is in danger before any thing, and he was relieved for once to see Adam’s expressionless face unchanging. “Can you control it?.”“Yes! The signal is different from any other cluster fabric, my blueprints needs to be modif
A dense liquid.
“she just disappeared a year after you were born, and in her place there was a message, telling your father to provide them with a certain type of technology if he ever wants to see her again.” Keet said desperately, his voice struggling in a way.“People don’t just disappear!” Adam chuckled, he was hearing about his mother for the first time, and the first thing he hears about her is that she just disappeared. The first thing that came to his mind was that she might have abandoned him and his father. Or that she could be working with the Rinvar clan.“They don’t, but when you see this you may believe the opposite.” Keet created a screen and played a video of a woman singing a sweet lullaby for an infant wrapped in a sky blue blanket with twinkling stars all over it that seems to be moving about. The woman was sitting on a flowery wooden chair rocking back and forth. She appeared to be on some kind of a ship traveling in space, a foreign star constellations were visible from a window
Supernova.
“please continue!.” Adam said. Seeing the shocked expression on Keet’s face, Adam thought that the symbiote created something amazing, so he inwardly requested the details of those spiders. However they were just normal spider scouts, like the one Adam used to kill the man who attempted to kidnap Mela.Keet’s surprise wasn’t triggered by the blueprint itself, he counted 8 spiders rushing in all directions at the same time, and the 8 if them seemed semi-intelligent while moving all over the base exploring about. Even Keet wouldn’t be able to accomplish such a level of control without automating the constructs.Which means either the spiders were all automated and the young kid already knows how to automate drone actions, which would be scary at his age. Or he was directly controlling 8 individual actions while still focusing on their talking, which would be horrifying.The reason Keet didn’t consider the probability of an artificial intelligence, is that the spiders were mostly just to
Hearing about Zenith.
Adam plunged into the ground raising a cloud of dust and creating a small crater around him as he landed like a super hero on one knee and a closed fist.[The modified armor blueprint features ionic thrusters with up to 8 tons of pushing force.]‘you telling me this now?!’ Adam shouted inwardly at himself, he had no idea that the symbiote modified the armor already. his cognitive abilities and thinking speed were on another level compared to yesterday, but still he was a human that easily got distracted by the feeling of freedom and liberation, and forgot all about the need to stop and land at some point. He also wanted to show off a little in front of Keet to pretend that he wasn’t in need of help or assistance, which resulted in a minor knee bruise and a sore knuckles.“That was a cool Landing. Was it painful?!.” Keet chuckled, commenting on his landing and making sure to save the footage of it in his memory for later use.“You noticed! Well! It just needs some practice.” Adam smile
Not again.
“You should come with me to the main base first.” Keet said to Adam, pointing at the middle of the island. The main base wasn’t far from where they were, the whole island was 20 km across, it would take them less then a minute to reach there flying.“Okay you go first and set a beacon, I’ll test some old tech with this new unlimited energy.” Adam didn’t argue with him, but he was still going to do his tests. He turned his clothe into a skin tight jump suit with a helmet covering his face. Two long thin wings grew from his back, ending with a jet engine each.“Do you know how loud these things are?! If you break the sound barrier with them you could damage many equipment on the island. You should try something else.” Keet stopped Adam from firing up the engines. he hated this era of technology for its too little care for the planet’s well-being. Unlike the mock engines that Adam was planning to use, the real ancient jet engine used a dangerous fossil fuel, which didn’t just endanger th
A small conversation.
Adam was sitting on a wooden table behind the house, eating his big breakfast while surrounded by trees, flowers, and whistling birds. The rich sunlight bathed him in its warmth and its wide spectrum of electromagnetic radiations. “Birdy didn’t wake up yet?! He sure doesn’t miss Gem.” He said stuffing his face with more food, He stopped focusing on chewing much, the food would disappear in a few seconds anyway. He was worried about Birdy, it was unnatural for the kid to sleep in.Birdy used to wake up earlier then every one, Adam would sometime Hear him laughing on the top bed, he thought at first that he was having some weird dream. When he asked him about it, Birdy Said that it was the only time of the day he would quietly enjoy reading his comics.“That boy is actually quite something! He trained for four hours straight after you went to sleep, not taking any rest until he passed out on the living room’s floor.” Keet informed Adam while aiming a barrage of scanners and detectors at
