END OF PROCESS, TERMINATING LINK.

As i and Jean lie flat for almost four hours the neural link is so mentally hard to maintained, suddenly a new feeling, a wind, a taste of the sky, the color of the world, all of the senses began to overwhelmed me. Under the shroud of night two black figures drop down from the sky.

"Please tell me my name master!" Said the Crimson Dragon. "Red" Cassidy.

"Please tell me my name master!" Said the Azure Dragon. "Blue" Jean.

I am glad the name that Jean give was not "colonel" or something like it. But hey what do i know! I can't fight her, not on names.

The dragon was about eight feet tall and ten feet long. But by the manual given by the Monastery, then can use the Fire form. When fire form is activated they shrink in size, making a merely a feet tall and two feet long, perfectly well sized gecko! But still as dangerous as the normal form. I activated fire form, and bring them to the camp, in fire form they lost their wings. They stayed close to our body. Fang and Snow has no linked to this creatures since the link was unique. So did Jean companion pilot too. Through Jean companion senses, we found a nearly hatch Jackson's chameleon offspring in the tree holes. We bagged four of them, the walk down hill takes almost ten minutes. By then we are storming Dean, Jude, Grey and Shawn. To bonded with the chameleon. So this was the perfect cover, we found a chameleon nest and bonded with the population in hand. It was almost dawn when we teach the camp.

The morning came, and we cross the mountain, each of us have a conceal companion in our shoulder. Chameleon is not so good in brain power but their sense is very good to use in concealment, they are the perfect assassins agent. While everybody getting their senses upgraded, mine was strength, i can feel my power to lift things tripled. Jean told me she can even hear things over the next hill and seeing in the pitch black of nights, heighten senses beyond any chameleon conceal companions can do. What intrigues me was the fire form, and how they can shrink their size significantly. It was out of this world understandings. Of course with our new companions, we manage to get a lot of preys. A couple of high grade and mid grade vials. We camp at the foot of the back of the mountains.

We continued the fourth day and spent the night by the river. By the fifth day we already cross the river at noon. We was given seven days, as we wait in the river crossings we scheduled a day of vacation, since everybody wanted time for a date. The SS seems sweeping the prey in the hunting ground cleanly. By the seventh day we are at south outpost, they take their cuts 30% out of everything. Then after the tribute rip off, we are off taking the bus, to the Valorem.

We reach the Valorem at night, i went straight to simulation to went to the hall of heroes.

"Why do you looked so pissed off?" Juliet beat me to start the argument.

"You have used me? Why don't you tell me about the bet! What is this legendary creature thing? And.."

"Woo woo, one at a time please!!" Juliet shouts to break the gunning questions.

She told me she what i seems to catch a glimpse on, she used to work for Richard Cumolo. The she quits and return to the western continent, she is not alone. Her husband is a merchant family, with his wealth Juliet manage to build a couple factory to help the nations economy. There was setbacks in repercussion of Richard Cumolo did, technological break downs. So many things is missing and marvel of technology not working anymore. Everyone used to be connected, talk is and easy as reaching by mind, in the cities. Only on the front lines the network was jammed to avoid spies and secrets trader. The used to ride an auto mechanical device to ride between town, even creates short distance portal in tows. In the middle continent, they even can regrow limbs if you lost part of yourself, a full robot even created as maid and soldier. These robots called droid, they were pure nanites breed. The breakthrough was very alarming, only in a year the middle continent was able to make the eastern empire and the western nation on their knees. The only obstacle was Richard Cumolo and the research guilds. They elusively slipping away the grasp of the central nation, the central nation was always on the lead and a big supporter of non natural advancements. They used nanites with advance coding and programing them to be self aware and autonomous. The droids was a very frightening power, the central nation was able to thrive and manage a bit of barren land in the middle continent to take over the whole continent. So Richard fought back, since what the central nation use was the fruits of his labors and sweats, that his team and him has created. They take it back with technology and destruction, with technology they render the automaton to self destruct any kind of strains and unique strains of Nonliving aspects of it. There used to be an Augmented DNA strains that was able to created pure droid beings that was able to interact as the same as human. With personality and emotions, after the nanites was detonated, none of the droids survive or even can be recovered, the act has crippled the central nations. Than the second blow was the total wipe out of the central nation, Richard Cumolo finish what he started with a finishing blow. Hundred of a thousand augmented creature attacked the middle continent, razing the central nation into nothing but ashes, ruins dan death. This creature that Richard Cumolo sent was only the second generations of the research he had done in decades. As i can see the ability to even morphed ad smaller version was never seen at that time, they are about bigger and meaner. They are controlled by the monastery super computer called the mother. Mother is a super computer that is able to produce unique strands of a single nanite, that was able to linked with other nanites and mold them. These super nanites was a unique nanites, only Richard Cumolo father of the nano technology that is able to create such, advancement in nano tech. Mother can easily created and control this nanites, the limitations was like the one that inside Cassidy and Jean. They are unique nanites with capability to control slave nanites, that has been bonded with human DNA marker, without direct link altering it would be impossible. It was a unique independent nanite, and the nanite will be at the deepest core of the super cores, attached to the utility small core.

"Now let me help you to activated Valorem secrets weapon!" She said it with a big smile.

"Oh no, what is it?" Suddenly a light appear next to me, and Jean appeared beside me.

"Uh oh what happen?" Jean was in the middle of a simulation program.

"Please you two stay calm!"

In our super cores, the small core is rewriting it self combining with the unique nanite that the monastery given us. After a few moment suddenly i felt something alive inside of me. Jean looked at me, with strange looks as she felt it also. Juliet smiles, to both of us.

"Before asking me another question, you should open access for your new ego!" She said it ego..

DO YOU WANT TO GRANTED EGO A FULL ACCESS? (Y/N)

"Yes!"

Suddenly rising for inside.

"Hello master please give me a name"

"Star" i name it.

"Hello master, i am star, i will be your personal control center!"

Jean named hers "Lunar"

This is what Juliet after, not the dragons! That was just a bonus, an unlearned factor. After the unification of the technology, the core was a new technology unique to me. A perfect cumulus system, and two of them.

We left the hall of heroes, Juliet told us to learn to use our ego in the right way, and do not to try to hack our way in, the super computer is still much powerful kajilions times than our unique mini assistant. After that mission our level has increased two level straight as Semi master low grade. But the other was still at Advanced mid grade. No changes in ranks tough! We still a NS at least until the end of this semester.

When Star is my second brain, Red was my second body. Red is emotionless a perfect slave rather a companion, her feeling was either like, dislike, and neutral. I checked with Jean she felt almost the same with Blue. That is why it was so easy to control, but with my ego, seems everything is easy to control. The control over Fang, Snow and Red is mine alone, Star only manage my network over calculations, communications and psychical ability. With Star all my status have numbers.

Suddenly Jean slap my stomach! "Stop that!"

"Ouch!" I flinch because of the surprise attack. "Just my type!" I told her, she smiles at me.

If compiler classes was obtained by studying to increase knowledge ranks in school and such, the level that Star detected is an ability measurement using level, the only blind side is the elemental power, nanites efficiency and power reserves. And this three things what makes higher class different in powers. On my monocle now every companion and animal have level, Dean's is at level 24, his pit bull is Level 21. Grey is level 24, his Bob cat is level 22, Shawn is level 25, his cat is Level 23. Jean is level 22 and her owl 'Pilot' is level 12. I will find out more about this, seems that the level also determined the value of the nanites, three colors differentiate them. Red is for high grade, yellow for mid grade and green for low grade. The very hard to handle prey is the high level red ones, the easiest would be low level green ones.

This weekend is our time off, so me and Jean takes a short leaves from school, we went to Valorem adventure guild branch to take some private missions. Since our Semi Master class gives us access to take private request outside the school permissions, we just have to informed the school for records purposes. We take an overnight hunt quest, so we will hunt in the southern Rogan outskirts. The place are on low security, that mean that some robbing and looting did happen in the woods, adventurer should be responsible for their own safety. There is no security post there, and only experienced hunter goes there. Making the forest very rich in animals to exploited. An open public jungle for adventurers, travelers, merchants, poachers and criminals.

We travel light since only an overnight missions, we were asked to find two vials of high grade zero nites, with good potential. Zero nites can be measure in strains, the tools needed to measure is very expensive, it was the giant blue round thing on the city hall testing facilities. But this would be the mini version of it, every adventure guild branch have one of this device. On my end it was easy just find the high level red ones. Star makes everything easy in measurements.

We enter the jungle in Saturday morning, with Blue sensing ability we manage to detect animals and plants, every time blue uses the sensing ability, seems she got an experience point for her level, the percentage beside her level status is filled little by little until 100% then she leveled up, Jean told me that. The other companion seems to gain also experience, the same goes on training the percentage beside the level always filled up little by little, the stats improved after leveling up. I seems to get a little experience if my companions leveled up and if i leveled up their experience bar seems to get a bit of it also. In the day trekking we manage to get 6 mid vials and 8 low vials, a low level animal so the potential growth is low. Potential growth can help the subject that implanted by it to gain better skills and element affinity. We hunt through the night and rest for meal and planning. At night when we were near the riverside, we meet a group of poachers. They were rounding up some animal in cages, since they don't have the proper culling device, they will take the animal alive by the river, they will sold this on black market. Two main undertaker cities that have a black market that uses this means to harvest zero nites was Karmel and Rogan. Looks like the poachers is using the river for means of transportation. In one of the cages i see a red animal with high level readings, we move closer to the cages. In the camp, Jean with her enhanced hearing over heard that the cages came from the other side the river of the south garden west side. "Desolated land!" I whisper to Jean, she nods putting her fingers to my lips, telling me to be quiet. I ordered Fang to sneak beside the cage.

"Star! Uses Fang senses to detect animal subject!"

SCANNING

Animal identified, a lesser Cerberus with two heads.

"Star! Are we in range of Valorem network?"

I will try to contact Juliet for advice. "Yes, stable link possible!" Connect me to Master Juliet Sierra.

CONNECTED, WAITING FOR VALOREM ACCESS…

ACCESS GRANTED, UNDER ID CASSIDY JAMES REED..

PATCHING LINK..

"Yes can i help you Cass?" Juliet said in the other side of the line. I told her about the lesser Cerberus that the poacher caught.

The missions just went from easy digest to extremely hard to chewed on.
