"The wheel has landed. You will gain the ability Mental Shopping: Version-H (Free Purchase)." I open my eyes to see the pointer situated at a panel one over from the Blob panel and breathe a sigh of relief.

"What exactly is mental shopping version H? I mean I get the free purchase and that it's some kind of store."

"Mental Shopping was an ability a young woman created for herself when she found herself reincarnated into the Sex & the City universe and countless matches had been missed, allowing the power to build up so much it gave her the option of doing so at the cost of it being the only gift she received. She chose to combine all of that power into a single ability, one which allowed her to gain items that caught her attention at no cost so long as it already existed within her world. The same holds true for you now that you have the ability. However the ability is based on items from that universe up until she died in 2042."

"Did you just say 2042? How is that even possible it was just 2021?

"Time is immaterial."

"Uh, ugh, fine I'm not even going to try to wrap my head around that one. So basically what your saying is I could get food, water, or whatever but I can't get something like the Nightblood injection because it didn't exist there. What about a bunker? I know the show was based on my world so would a bunker that could survive Praimfyre be available? If it is how would that even work?"

"You are correct in the first half." The voice almost seems reluctant to answer my questions but does. "It is possible to purchase such a bunker but it would require you to create the layout and the necessary components which would be within beforehand. Should you forget to include something essential in its design that is crucial to survival there would be no going back to correct it. It would have to be at least five miles away from other settlements though it can use those that have been both abandoned and forgotten by those on the ground. Time is another factor as depending on the scale of such a thing it can take anywhere from a few days to a month before it is fully formed and usable. This is to ensure neither the surroundings nor the purchase in question is negatively affected. Now we must continue on, have you decided upon what you will ask for?"

"Yes. First off I want to be born a Nightblood. I want it to have happened naturally for me and with it being due to evolution it would be stronger since it's not a genetic alteration that was introduced but something that happened due to exposure from the increased and constant exposure to radiation in space. I feel like people would have a higher exposure to radiation in the lower section of the Ark where there might not have been as much shielding as there was for those with more important jobs even if it wouldn't necessarily be noticeable. Can you also make it so no one finds outs, at least not before I get to Earth. Better to be prepared than not since me being around means things can change and if something happens to Abby beforehand I'm screwed. Plus the only successful round Abby made, before the Sanctum anyways, ended up being taken by Clarke."

"It will be arranged that you are only given a general physical without blood being drawn however there is nothing I can do if you were to bleed in front of others before then. I must admit I'm surprised you picked up on such a thing. Now for the next one."

"Could you basically make it so I'm like a super soldier? Not in the Captain America way, obviously that isn't an option from what you've told me. I mean my body and mind. For instance my body should be at a peak but healthy condition while being easy or preferably effortless to maintain. I want to be flexible, nimble, and strong but I mean don't want you to make me into some bodybuilder or change my gender! For my mind, having a better memory with a faster thought process and being capable of dealing and processing the stress that comes with living in that universe would be amazing. Perfect vision is also a must have."

"Normally it would not be possible when one considers that you will be on the Ark but combined with the ability you received, if you were to use it to maintain a healthy diet, it is possible to arrange it so that in the year leading up to you being sent down to Earth with the 100 your body will develop that way by forcing you through an almost second though rather short puberty. You must be physically active for at least an hour every other day in order to develop your body, even something as simple as walking around in a circle will do. The more you do so in the year beforehand, the better your body will be and the easier to maintain. Your last request?"

"Knowledge and not just mental knowledge but what people refer to as muscle memory also. I want to know how to doctor injuries so I'm not stuck depending on heaven forbid Clarke or Abby to save someone I care about. I want to know what plants are edible or medicinal and in what way, what parts of an animal are edible, what parts aren't, and how to prep and cook whatever is on hand so it doesn't end up being wasted or get someone sick by being prepared wrong. I want to know how to use weapons and use them correctly. I want to know how to fight and how to hunt so if I have to I can both defend and feed myself."

"Very well. Your mind will gain the combined knowledge held by the most advanced medical practitioners amongst both the Ark and the Earth. You will gain the knowledge from the most talented of hunters so you will know how to track, trap, hunt, gut, and prep animals for both consumption and materials. Your knowledge on fighting will come from a number of women considered to be the strongest in that multiverse, amongst them Charmaine Diyoza, Indra kom Trikru, a version of Luna kom Floukru that did not run from her Conclave, Lexa kom Trikru, and the Octavia Blake which most closely resembles the TV show. May this aid you in the next world."
