Endearment

"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?

Deny thy father and refuse thy name.

Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love

And I'll no longer be a Capulet."

- Juliet Capulet

The next day after we got back to the Valorem, a military vehicle pick Jean out off the school to bent hills. The school had given her a week off school to recuperate. She was sticking to me like a glue, ever since the outpost. The three guys, congratulate me hitting off with Jean. On the day Jean leaving i let Smoke to accompany her to bent hills. And know after the dust of the mess settles, i was researching to every source available about the two giant reptiles i see, a dragon? It was a myth right? A question keeps sticking out in my head, "it was real right?" Imagination is a common things if caused by a hypothermia conditions. But i was fine that day, and i confirmed that Fang see it too. "What the heck was that!" I was muttering while i search. I found all of the related research, they all mentioned one place in particular "monastery".

Reaching a dead end, i start to meditate to complete my engine core, i manage to reach 97%. Then i take simulation training, the routine just takes my mind of the dead end research. A week passes by, i was on the students building lobby waiting for Jean. A bus came through the gate, a neural link established "Daddy!!!" The neural link sent a message. Jean exited the bus, in her hand she is holding a kitten.

She drops the kitten and walked towards me, kissing me and hugs me, i was awkwardly follows the gesture "i missed you Cass!" She said. "Me too" and she holds my hand, handed me her suitcase and drag me to her dormitory. Fang followed me, i placed Smoke by his side, then they followed me and Jean.

We got a lot of things in the northern tundra we split the loot 5 ways after the 20% of the vials was taken by the out post, one of the egg was also taken as the rules was 20% of the loot is tax. So we decided 2 of the eggs will sold and one will be given to Jean, for her new companion, last night we have been notified that the eggs is hatching. So today, i take her to the Valorem bestiary, she was surprised "oh thank you guys", she kiss Dean, Grey and Shawn, one by one on the cheeks, then me the last on the lips. I turn around and see Dean and the boys making fun of me by imitating the kiss on the lips. I raise my middle finger to them as i follow Jean into the lab. The Snow Owl will be given in 2 months time to be bonded.

We spent each day honing our speed and strength, and compiling the core. At night the simulation reach a very significant level, and we are advancing everyday. Smoke is staying with Jean, since she doesn't has any companion. Now she is calling it, "Snow" because Smoke is an ugly name for a cute baby snow leopard. I name it Smoke so i remember not to go home from a hunt holding only a pet. One more mouth to feed only making more trouble in my honest opinion. I went down to the bestiary registration office to change Smoke registered name into Snow.

-six weeks later-

Then come that monthly mission again, this time is a research mission to the sunder desert. The mission will be explained at the western outpost. This was a military secret, a research and development mission. A joint venture research between the industrialist and the military defense unit.

MISSION DETAILS

SUNDER DESERT WEST REGION

a team consist of five compiler

Requirements: developed class mid or high

Missions: Campsite Security details

Difficulty level: B

Time Completions: 7 days

DO YOU ACCEPT? (Y/N)

Because this was a security details with location placements, Jean and i decided to take Snow and Pilot. Pilot is the snow owl name she is just barely enough age to be taken out, but the name 'pilot' obviously! figures right? Jean is a military eccentric, i was *sigh*-ing, after she insist that Smoke in now Snow, 'Smoke is a lame name for a girl'. Jean is in my dorm helping me to pack up the equipment, its been over two hours, i usually do it in 30 minutes. "This! you are not taking that! And you need to bring this!" The things to packed is taking a century to finish. "Jean.. hi! Yeah would you please let me packed my things, its getting late, you should get back to the girls dorm!" There i said it to her, i am annoyed. She put up an angry face, then slam the door on her way out. "Ugh! That was scary Fang!" I talked to Fang, suddenly Snow responded "I think Mommy is angry.." i looked her, "what? Who told you she is your mommy?" Snow looked me, and it strikes me 'Jean', and i slap my forehead so hard it was red, oh no!

That night Jean missed the team simulation, saying she is busy taking care of her new companion. Everybody new something wrong and keep poking me for answers, i will never break for a girl! And finally Shawn asked me out loud. And i lash out like a storm, i break like an egg hitting a rock. 'Shit!' I was swearing, i get hit because i miss to dodge a hit from the simulation orb attack, the blow hit my stomach. "You should talk to her, Cass" Shawn advising me, he can see i was not focusing enough on this training. I just keep hitting the target practice orb randomly, "End simulation!" Shawn stopping the sim. "Let's try this later OK! Just talk to her man! Deal with it!" Then he logout. I contacted Jean, she pick up the neural link call "what!? What do you want?", "Are you still angry at me?" I asked softly. "What do you think?" She replied. "I am sorry Jean, its my fault.." 'shit!' I sounded like my father talking to my mother when ever he gets into trouble!! After that 'golden words', she talk a little bit in a nicer tone to me, then we talked a few hours, until she said that she want to feed pilot, her new owl companion. I also want to meditate to complete the cores, we both hang up. After we settle the fights i was relieves, I really did give it all on to my meditation, the core is at 99 percent, it was just a push away. I desperately need it to be completed as soon as possible, my sweat is pouring like rains, my shirts is wet because of it. Trying to weave the complex connection within the cores, so all the link are connected correctly, for every link, normally needs a port for each link, but i only see one port left. The chance to choose one of these link is 1 to 4, a risky 25%. It can short circuits and giving me a setbacks to my progress to a couple percent down. Then in the moment of truth, i remember my father words "the way of the world is so out of our expectations, when somebody told you to choose by options, and if you really can't choose, just tell them the truth, that you wanted all of it!" I once replied that it was greedy. And he said "you never know what people think! That 'greedy' was what you think!" Well, it kind off make a perfect sense. Out of the box! I combined the four connections without choosing and jam it all to one port. Something wrong all of the connections that lite in a blue light suddenly turned off. "Shit!" I cursed, then a moment later the connections lite up back again! A visual notification in my monocle.

SUPER CORES RESET SUCCESSFULLY

SMALL CORE ACTIVATION COMPLETE

CORE 1: ONLINE

CORE 2: ONLINE

CORE 3: ONLINE

CORE 4: ONLINE

EXT CORE:

SLAVE 1: DETECTED 2 MINI CORE

SLAVE 1 CORE STATUS: ONLINE

NANITES STABILITY AT USAGE: 100%

And the system read, a 100% complete. The super cores are ready to use, i need to report to Ms.Rose.

I upgraded my grade, i am now a developed high class. I am eligible to do a challenge, to upgrade my class. Ms.Rose gave me another extra training in my schedule, so i have a new subject at my school schedule now. "Super cores activation" it was a practice training to guide a new super cores user like me, to maximize a better effective way using a super cores.

Layers of the super cores:

1. Crust first core

2. Mantle second core

3. outer first center core

4. Inner second center core

And one new small utility core

In the old super cores version, after the damage to the cores reach the inner core, the second center core. The super cores will stop functioning, and had to be brought to one of the implant facilities. But in the new version of today's super cores, the small utility core will be a self managing repair core, that able to fixed the super cores from insides, so the core don't need to be fixed in one of the implant facilities. So the repair will take directly, the compiler just need to buy some time until the cores back online.

For example today while using my crust core to maintain a weapon form in combat, i was multitasking using Fang to attacked from other sides of the opponent. Using super cores my maximum orbs to practice is now around seven to nine orbs. The usual three orbs only last 10 seconds to take down. That is how powerful my boosted functions had become, currently i can use only two of the exterior core. The two center cores need a more intensive trainings. With using Fang as a second attacker, is not using Fang to just attacked. I was attacking with Fang, i have total control of Fang. He is my doppelganger, with a small cores inside, i can even manipulate a round nites that attached to Fang's armor, i can make Fang wore an armor, and molded an iron claws for him. Fang will hold the form control with his small cores, the round nites will hold it form and shapes, until i release the commands. Using that only need two cores on Fang's small cores, one is used to maintain the neural network stability and one to operates the molding form and shapes of the round nites.

That night Jean comes to my dorm to do a meditation, since we made up, i was offering myself instructing her to help completing her small core. I do it leisurely laying in my bed, while reading about an advancing technique to control the inner layer of the super cores. Jean is wearing a black sleeveless women sportswear set. Her body is showing really great that i got a hard on, so i try to shake it off by doing this things. That's when suddenly Jean come to my bed and sit on top of me! "Cassidy reed, why are you laying in your bed? Are you neglecting me? Ow you got a hard on~" As soon she sit on top of me she feels it, and her face is getting closer to my face. We kissed, passionately lips locked, her right hand comes inside my shirts, then her left hand in the back of my head, i can feel how tiny her right hand and how soft it was. My hands is touching her back waist slowly heading down to her ass it was so soft an quite a handful, her crotch is rubbing my hard on back and forth, her breast is pressing to my chest, it was soft and plump. I can feel her nipple pointing hard and i heard her hard breathing, we make out hard. I felt very lustful, that was when my instinct as a male take over, and i slip my hand right slowly to her pants while my left is squeezing her breast, for a moment we still kissing in locked lips, suddenly she stop and push her body away. "Not the third base Cass, i am not ready!" Oh no! I am hanging dry and horny, "That is a boomer on my side!" And then she kissed me one more time on the lips, and lie beside me. "I hope you are serious with me Cass", she said it. "But we are fourteenth, why so serious? We got option you know, but i am willing to try 'serious' if you want me to, she looks at me and smile lewdly, and then we make out some more. She lost her hand in my pants, and after all the rubbing and squeezing, heaven break loose! She smiled feeling something warmed came out in my pants, then in the heat of the moments she also gives me a hickey on the chest, i don't know why girls do that! As a matter of facts, i don't like leaving a token of love on some one's body parts. We are adults, maybe it was my point of views. But i can't refuse the sensation it brings also, it was so fucking good. We clean ourselves, all cleaned; Then we cuddle in the bed, doing small talks leaning at each other, a ding rang from the monocle on the bedside table. I put on my monocle the departure time for tomorrow missions is set at 08.00, the Valorem team will go to the Sunder desert with the scientist team, from the engineering bay. So Jean kiss my cheek "i love you Cass Reed!" And picking her stuff, she is going back to her dormitory to prepare for tomorrow. I stand and take her to the door, before she got out, i turn her press her against the door and kiss her on the lips "i love you to Jean Lee, please don't be too serious with me!" And she lightly slap my cheek. "Damn you! Cass, quit playing hard to get!" She smiles, and i let her go smiling back. She walk out the door, and i press my fore head on to the door, then i turn around smiling some more. There were two sets of eyes looking at me, Fang and Snow. "Shit!" The kids was watching the both of us. I want to blocked my neural link to avoid communications, so they can't asked me, but Fang beats me to it. "Do you want to make baby?" He beats me to it. "NO!" I answer. "i can tell you want to make little baby with her.." Fang said then he goes leading Snow, shoving her on the back of the neck and half dragging her to the next room. "Fang, is mommy gonna have a baby?" she asked Fang. He keeps dragging Snow to next room, and the neural link is closed. And i was left in the room to take a moment.

(crickets sounds effect)

In the morning, our transportation is a military trucks, the team is inside the truck. I was the last one to get in, because i have to signed out some clearance from the military, before shipping off to the desert. I climb to get in to the back of the truck, Dean pulled me up. My seat was next to Jean, i walked pass her, she hit my ass. I looked at her, she winked at me, then i sit beside her. The three boys are giggling, my face are red. Jean kissed me on the cheek, then holding my hand and lean at me. The whole trip to the jungle, i feel pinned down to my sit by Jean. Who said love was sweets? It was very hard to move, and tight in close quarters. I try to ignore the facts, and focus on the missions. But when Jean start to lean on me in public, i cant ignore my heat beating like crazy. The way to the desert, in the heat of the trip, i was feeling very proudly comfortable. I was sitting next to Jean in many occasions, but after being together, it was always have a different taste, even the ordinary things. "Daddy gonna make a baby with mommy!" Snow talked to me with neural link. I looked at Fang, and sent out neural message "Quit teaching her, things!" Fang glance at me, then put his head down in silence. Snow is playing with Shawn's Black cat now, the trip last about two and a half hours, cross the river pass the foothills of Valorem into the west region to the western outpost on the edges of sunder desert.

All is sand, only when we are nearing the western outpost we see greens of several man planted trees, a little man made lake, it was dug to provide water source for the outpost and connected to the river that was in the border of the western region and our Rogan outskirts. We exited the truck, guided to the standard team guess room with six bunk bed. And Jean keep sticking close to me, the boys just keeping the distance and keeps giggling on every actions that Jean put me through. I sigh, just because; "this is gonna be a very longggggggg mission".
