ch 3

I spent the rest of the day figuring out which before deciding to just use my host's name sake Khnum the shaper of living beings as I too would mold my subjects as unfortunately I could not bring back my species at least not without the risk of war the dominant species on this world and possibly those from the galaxy at large as last time I checked they hated us with all that in mind I went to see Khnum's grandfather the following morning over breakfast.

Amun:"Well have you thought it over yet or do you still need more time?"

Me:"I don't need more time I have come to my decision my patron god shall be Khnum who is also my name sake"

Amun:"And why did you pick him and I want a real answer if find out that you just wasted my time and the god Khnum's by extension, you will be building him a shrine yourself as well as carving his idol by hand"

Me:"Khnum is the shaper of people I want to be a leader that will not only take charge but also shape those that will follow me to adhere to my will as far carving his idol I already planned to begin today to show my devotion and my desire to emulate"

Khnum:[What! I thought you were going to help me build my harem and take steps to become a god not a sculptor and worshiper of some god you don't even believe in!]

Me:[This is the first step savage I know you are new to the concept of planning but remain quiet unless you have something useful to add]

Amun:"At first I thought your answer was just lip service but I'm impressed with the fact that you would go so far to prove your devotion to your patron deity do want me to help you by getting the servants to assist you?"

Me:"Other than the tools required for sculpting I don't want assistance but I will ask if I find my efforts are insufficient"

Amun:"Then for now I shall respect your wishes but don't be afraid to ask for help we serve the god we are not them"

Equipped with tools for sculpture I begin walking through the woods until I'm absolutely certain that I am not being followed before taking tools provided by Amun to my ship for a little modification so that I can actually use these barbaric things that are so crudely made.

Khnum:[So you were for real when you said that you are going to create the idol? Couldn't you have you ship make one so we don't have to?]

Me:[Burden you are finally asking relevant questions first off of course I'm going to create the idol like I said and can't use the ship for a few reasons the first being the ship being too damaged it will take time for it regenerate, the second being I need to test our body's capabilities so I can see what needs improvements I need to focus on and the only reason that matters to you to impress the females of your species]

Khnum:[Could you not continue to insult me by calling me things like burden and savage and how would any of this impress any ladies? Wait what do you mean by improvements?!]

Me:[Those weren't insults just general observations, in regards to the females your grandfather screened them before hiring so they are likely devoted worshippers or at least have a level of respect for the Egyptian pantheon and because in general females like hard working males which you are not so I need to change your image as for improvement that should of been obvious as you are a loser with many shortcomings in general and biologically]

After I finished my explanation Khnum finally decided to remain quite for some reason I then upgraded my sculpting tools then had the ship disguise itself before I set out to search for the perfect stone to carve into an idol after searching for two and half hours I found the perfect boulder and immediately set about getting to work shaping the stone as a being of culture I was well versed in the art of sculpture but I had to work slower due to these inefficient limbs so while I was sculpting I began tinkering with my new biology in order to make it more dexterous and resilient while also Improving the eyes which could barely take in it's surrounding with it's twenty twenty vision.

By the time I was through with all the modifications that I could do without overstressing the body with the massive overhaul that I was preforming the idol itself was at least a decent start It contained decent features but was still far from what I had envisioned still I thought it prudent ask this worlds denizens for his opinion although I doubted his artistic abilities would be up to par to judge anything I had created even with poor reflexes and sight to hamper my true abilities.

Me:[Failure I have need of your opinion to judge this ruff carving]

Khnum:[Why would the great you have need of my lowly opinion]

Me:[Under educated one I sense that your statement is sarcasm and your mental pattern indicates that you are upset about something care to elaborate as to why?]

Khnum:[You keep insulting me that is why I am upset you think yourself so superior yet in instances such as this you need me!]

Me:[Yes, I need you which is why I am asking you primitive, where as you never seek to better yourself even when I gave you access to some of my memories which is also why I have yet to let you in the driver seat as you would say]

Khnum:[Since when did you give me access to your memories?]

Me:[Since the beginning, now give me your unevolved opinion on the Idol]
