Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

Zehal Alvix was the last person who was in need of the Universal Credits because, for her, they were rather useless due to having access to the whole family's funds. But some really exotic technologies and blueprints?

That was something that even Zehal would sometimes have trouble getting her hands on due to their rarity and their scarcity in these ends. While the House Alvix managed to get their hands on some of the different technologies from the different High-Level Civilizations and High-Level Star Nations...

It was most often rather useless because of the similarity between the technological trees of the Eternal Empire of the Asurya and that of the other High-Level Faction. What Zehal needed to progress Deus Technicus were not the ordinary technological advancements but those really advanced ones.

Those were the things that each High-Level Civilization and High-Level Star Nation usually classified as the core technology of the said faction. Arcturus was sure that the Directorate had some really cool stuff in their repository, so for Zehal, he asked for something she really needed.

"Not problem. You will have everything prepared after you complete your mission. Additional details about the mission will be sent to you through the NetSphere right now. Also... if the situation becomes unsalvageable, you are required to join the defenses of the Ziria until the citizens are checked and transported out of the planet. Only under the Code: Apocalypse, you are allowed to leave your position on your own without risking treason."

Everything that was being said was more like the standard of the missions for the Directorate, though defining the city in the case of the bug outbreak wasn't something nice, and he hoped that it wouldn't come to that.

What was worse was that they were not allowed to leave normally and would be able to do so only if the situation became the Code: Apocalypse, which meant that everything went to fuck and they could leave without facing any consequences or when the evacuation of the citizens was finished.

Still, he knew that there were certain privileges for the Core members of the Eternal Empire of the Asruya, like three of them. That, of course, remained unspoken for many reasons, but mainly because the agent from the Directorate really depended on the fact that the three of them were not aware of that by some accident.

"Then we are in agreement. When do we need to leave for the mission?"

Arcturus really hoped that they wouldn't need to leave right now because he wanted to remain in the city at least during the night. Get some sleep, though he really doubted that he would get some, considering the stressful day that was today.

Though it was not like he really needed sleeping, he guessed that it was most likely just the indulgence. He liked his beauty sleep, though his physique didn't really need it at all, or rather, he didn't need to sleep that often actually.

Only a few hours per a few days.

That said, the agent from the Directorate didn't say anything else or anything more. He just nodded his head and left their table to his own devices while leaving the trio of them to finish their dinner.

Arcturus immediately opened the information package sent by the Directorate almost at the same time that the agent from the Directorate left the lodge where they had their dinner.

There was a lot of additional information about the Ziras IV, especially about the terrain and geography, including some of the routes to the area where the Arachnid Nest was apparently located.

The information package from the Directorate also contained security codes for several of the colony facilities and clearance codes that would allow him, Jeniael, and Zehal to move unhindered across the entire city without much problem.

As of right now, their identities have been upgraded to that of the temporal Directorate Agents, which was a very rare thing, but it was sometimes done to the non-standard operatives that were working temporarily on some missions from the Directorate.

***

After finishing the dinner, which Zehal graciously paid for, Arcturus was rather full and went to his hotel room that was on the top of the building while leaving Zehal and Jeniael to their own devises as the two women remained in the adjusted garden to talk about something.

Arcturus didn't really care enough to ask about what they would be talking and neither was it his matter, so he just went to sleep. Meanwhile, down in the hotel's gardens, a silent storm was brewing.

Neitehr Zehal or Jenaiel spoke anything as they just continued starting at each other for several minutes straight, with each passing minute their gazed were becoming more hostile and gitated.

It was clear that neither of them wanted to be here and also that their temporal truce had ended. Judging by the tense atmosphere, it would be rather good if they didn't start fighting right now because, with their combat capabilities, they would demolish the entire hotel.

"I thought that we had a truce... Jen-Jen..."

Zehal started as she was the first among them to break the silence, as it was already becoming too uncomfortable when they were staring at each other that much. She knew why her archrival had subtly called her, or at least she suspected the reason why she had called her here.

"It was canceled the moment when you started outright seducing my man, you skank."

Jeniael almost shouted at the Heiress Apparent of the House, Alvix, as she became angrier with each passing moment. Jeniael had always had problems with anger management, and it wasn't her strong point.

"Skank? That's the best insult you can do? And for your information, I didn't register that you are engaged or at least in the courtship process, so he is a free game for me as well."

Zehal instantly retorted, angering Jenaiel even more with her comments. She also provoked her at the same time because her insulted creativity was rather pathetic.

Jenaiel wasn't always good at creating new insults because she preferred to solve everything with her fist, aside from the time when she had her clear moment.

"So what the hell is it to you that we are not in a formal courtship agreement? Eitehr way, he is spending most of his time with me at the Academy and even on the ship, while you were playing with the wrenches and metal scraps I was actually spending time with him and found out that we are compatible. And who would be interested in such a nerd as you?"

The Eternal Empire of the Asurya was a very conservative society, especially when it came to the sexual relationships between men and women, or men and men, or women and women...

Everyone took their time, usually relationships progressed rather slowly, very slwoy and they were heavily formalized in various stages and such. Casual sex between people who randomly met each other was almost non-existent, or rather, it was exceedingly rare.

Not to mention, people kept these things as a private matter and not something that was being talked about in civilized society. For the society in the Empire, matters of sex and such were highly private.

"At least this nerd, as you call me, can make a lot of money and could be useful aside from waving a sword like some kind of troglodyte. And for the help of the greater will of the cosmos, you can be already more creative or not so repetitive? You know, Jen-Jen, if such a musclehead girl like you is constantly insulting my superior intelligence, which is far superior to your peanut-sized brain for sure, it's rather pathetic."

Zehal shot back as she observed how the so-called Jen-Jen was growing purple and red from the rage. She noticed that Jeniael was close to the eruption and it seemed that fight between two of them was inevitable as her archrival was getting into the combat stance.

"You fucking bitch! So what! At least I have some womanly charm you manlet!"

Now, even Zehal felt a bit irritated and was pretty angry as she looked at Jenaiel and then at herself. So what when that white-haired bitch had big pair of boobs and a firm ass, she still as ugly as any other gorilla on any random jungle planet.

"You know what, I don't want to fight, but you are really getting on my nerves... and I didn't even try to seduce him in the first place, we just talked... but that's probably impossible for you to replicate, not? The only thing you can talk about is how to hit someone... no wonder that you left home? You couldn't be even married off to someone who ould have wanted you in the first place?"

For every single sentence that Zehal spoke, Jeniael was growing angrier and angrier because the Heiress Apparent of the House Alvix was rather sharp with her tongue, and she knew how to hit the hardest and to the places where it was hurting the most.

In fact, unbeknownst or known to Zehal, Jenaiel was indeed took a certain liking to Arcturus because not only was he probably the only male that she knew who could talk to her, but at the same time, he was also a prime specimen.

1st Generation Pure-Bllooded Highborne Asuryani was born with Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability and overwhelming talents for the Psionics and Swordsmanship, and he also looked very good.

So yeah, for any proper Asuryani female, he would be considered as a catch.

If there was one thing that stood apart among the courtships and relationship between the Asuryani, then it was also thee Eugenics that the Empire strongly practices and encouraged it's citizens to follow.

Eugenics is a set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a certain population. It was commonly practiced by many powerful Psionics, Psykers, and Warriors, and to some degree, there were also some species that practiced the Eugenics.

Though there were not many of High-Level Star Nation and High-Level Civilizations that practised the Eugenics on the scale of entire population and for many centuries.

After several moments, Jenaiel appeared in front of Zehal as she hit the Heiress Apparent of the House Alvix straight to her face. It happened extremely fast, but Zehal was still able to react and create a miniature Psionic Shield around her face that stopped Jeniael's punch.

However, what she wasn't counting was the power behind Zehal's punch that was really something above the standards and the Psionic Shield was broken in a mere one contact, and Zehal was sent crashing on the ground with a sound that reminded her of a broken nose.

Though contrary to Jenaiel's expectation, Zehal was quickly back on her legs as she looked at the white-haired young woman and immediately counterattacked with a punch of her own as she caught Jeniael off-guard.

Mainly because she didn't anticipate that Zehal would lower herself and brawl with her in the hotel gardens. This continued for some time, as the two women were dead set on exchanging kicks and punches as they continued to express their disdain and outright hatred for each other.

Jenaiel was rather surprised at Zehal's close combat martial abilities because she knew that the Heiress Apparent of the House Alvix preferred to fight solely with her technology and nothing else, so Jeniael was rather unprepared for this kind of opposition.

After half an hour, both of them were relatively tired, though it was clear that Zehal was more tired than Jeniael.

While Zehal indeed had some martial training and knew how to strike and so on, she didn't have the endurance, nor did she have the experience of someone who had fought like this for several years already.

In fact, the Heiress Apparent of Alvix looked like she would back out from the fatigue every moment because this wasn't really her forte, not to mention all of Jenaiel's hits were aimed at the pressure points and were very powerful.

Zehal felt like her entire body would collapse on its own because, contrary to her, who was just throwing punches as she wanted, Jenaiel went to the strategic approach, and she chose the exact weak spots on her body.

She primarily aimed at the pressure points that she had perfectly memorized for the best possible effect. While Jenaiel was mainly a swordsman, she had also learned many kinds of martial arts that used only her own body.

Soon enough Zehal indeed blacked out, as she was already doing her best at remaining ocnsciouss, but the hits were too much on her and not even a few moments later, everything went blank.

This left Jenaiel in rather a problematic situation because she needed to bring Zehal back to her room and also provide her with some medical care. It was even more problematic because they were supposed to leave the city tomorrow morning and travel to the Arachnid-infested area.

Which was totally the best situation possible.

And now one from their team was down.

This lowered their power by approximately 33%.

It was a really bad situation, and now that she looked at and knocked out Zehal, Jenaiel indeed realized it...

Hopefully, Zehal would recover by tomorrow morning as they gave her some medicine, though what was worst, she didn't have money or anything on her for such an occasion, so the only thing that she could do was to either go and bother Arcturus about this, because this wasn't really something that she wanted.

An explanation of what has happened would be either troublesome.

Not to mention she wouldn't even know how to explain this, she wasn't very good at lying to people. It was never her forte as she was rather a straightforward person and didn't really appreciate deception and similar behavior.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Obviously, she didn't really want to use her emergency funds on someone like Zehal; she even had the idea to drag her out and just drop her in front of the hospital as she looked at her unconscious form, but going through the entire city with an unconscious person over her shoulders?

Probably the best chance to be arrested on the streets.

"His ship... he should have there some medical supplies, including some adnvacted medicines for the occasions like this. Hopefully, that AI won't rat me out."
