"Eight days was a long and hard time for the cirizens of Logria. We can only say that we, the people of the Union, are glad that the storm was finally over."
"Within this desperate times, heroes rose up to help the people. In this case, the two siblings of the great house Fanick had risen up to the occasion. They had sheltered over a hundred people in the family's old mech facility. They were chanting Niel Fanick's name, vying him in the mayor's seat."
"I don't know about that." The newsperson in the projected screen, chuckled. "The Fanicks were seriously into mechs. Politics was not their game."
"It is also safe to mention that Niel designed and assembled a mech that they used to scavenge for food. It's not surprising since he's one of the best mech designer in the Union. They said that his sister, Mina, piloted the mech - even scaring the crew of a relief shuttle at one point. Also the mech had garnered several attention from industrial corporations."
Thales watched the news, chuckling occasionally at his former colleague's antics. This, however, was just a small distraction as he was sorely disappointed. The data he managed to scrape up together had been surrendered to the Master Mech Specialist, who in turn, went into seclusion after giving some harsh criticism about the Straggler S1-2.
"Thales," Director Cia approached the depressed mech specialist. "We cannot afford any distractions. The Straggler S1-2 had indeed gave us some fresh perspectives and even new technologies. However, its performance is too outdated to what we are working right now. I cannot divert some of the resources as we are currently developing the next gen."
"We already collected the necessary data. It might take years of study, but we will eventually learn it." Cia turned to leave, she added, "My offer still stands. You will get your old job back. Also, I had designated a few personnel to find out about this Vulcan444 and his accomplices. The tech specialist in the Empire of Durn said that the mech was created not by a single individual, but a group of people who had knowledge in every technology field."

[The Starport will be operable after one day]
After reading the notice in the projected screen of his gauntlet, Sy sighed in boredom. He had nothing else to do as he finished repairing the hover bike and took it out for a spin. He carefully placed his new stash of food on a corner.
He thought of going back to the mech facility and materialize the Gamma Welding Machine. However, he took more interest in checking his system. After a few minutes of reading his stats repeatedly, he got excited into automatically raising one of his technology field.
'System! How do I earn more Pioneering Score?'
[You can earn Pioneering Score by contributing new technologies to society, pioneer new technologies, discover new methods, establish a new colony, completing missions and more. You will receive a notification if you earned some scores.]
'The Mission Panel!' Sy switched to the mission log.
[1 mission completed! Claimable reward]
[New mission!
Pioneer your second mech
Reward: 10 Pioneering Score]
[New Mission!
Use the special bonus in the Human Generator
Reward: 50 Pioneering Score]
Sy forgot about claiming the reward after he successfully finished the 'Find a new function for existing technology'. He excitedly claimed the +1 Wisdom and instantly felt the effect as his state of mind seemed to elevate into new heights.
'Now let see about this Human Generator.'
He switched to the new function and a new window expanded in his vision.
[Human Generator is a random function yielded from the Innovation Cube!]
[Generated materials have in-built programming suited to your needs]
'Suited to your needs.' Sy chuckled at the introduction.
His vision turned black and a highlighted empty outline of a feminine figure appeared.
[Your Human Generator is exclusively locked to females]
Sy's brow raised. These introductory messages had entertained his manly ego that he did not even mind wasting time on it.
Shortly after, a new panel appeared, asking for a prompt.
[Please describe you new material here]
Sy caressed his chin for a second before effortlessly inputted something that instantly came to his mind.
[Woman in white pants]
The blank outline was immediately replaced by the 3D image of a randomly generated woman in 'white pants'. He generated many more images and found that the function faithfully represented the information that was written in the prompt. However, since the other info was lacking like the facial features, and the upper clothings - Sy had a glimpse of the few images of a woman only wearing a bra, or even bare chested - tits of various sizes and shapes had graced his vision.
Sy, already familiar with the human anatomy was affected but only a bit. Just a bit. He thought of something more creative and imagined Mina's appearance. However, he came up with something else and started filling up the prompt.
[Mina Fanick yesterday]
Sure enough, an image of Mina appeared the way he remembered. Nothing changed. Every bit was as he could recall. Even the Molecular Data Imaging Simulator overlapping in his vision, compared the current images that was generated with his memories, and found that they have the exact same body composition.
'Good! You're like another simulator.' Sy nodded his head in satisfaction. After a brief moment, he stifled a smile as a new idea came to him. Something that a man would usually do. Peek inside those clothes and admire the image of her carefully hidden parts.
'Nah! I'd rather see it up and personal.' After some thoughts, he scrapped the idea and proceeded to test his own creativeness.
'Hm. I don't have the skills to describe a woman, but I'll try.'
New inputs filled up the prompt and a new image appeared. Sy nodded - pleased with the result, and continued to supply the prompt with new descriptions.
[Voluptuous body]
As the image updated, Sy became hungry for more. After all, the adequate body of a woman was good. However, a man would find himself wanting something more excessive. As such, thicker curves was better.
Getting deeper into it, the young Pioneer became more agitated and restless in the pursuit of an ideal image of a woman.
As another result appeared, Sy contained his anger and spoke his mind, "The prompt function is not enough! I need to dig deeper in order to reach the desired product."
Although satisfied earlier, he saw something lacking or something excessive in the design which he could not change, and his standard quickly elevated to the peak. He wanted more control.
Suddenly, his vision switched to a different mode.
[This is the Superior Mode. Too advance even for a Bio-tech Specialist at the highest level.]
Sy skimmed through the new mode and found that it was divided into three categories.
[Body Composition]
[Consciousness]
[Status]
Each category housed countless of data that needed to be provided with information. First, he explored the Body Composition and found a familiar term; Genetic Traits. He searched for a certain Rapid Cellular Regeneration that were common for Super Soldiers like the brutal Augmented Stormtroopers. However, he soon learned that it was labeled in the lowest level. Things like; Reconstructive Cells V, Hormonal Peak VII, were at the top.
'I don't know these traits. Perhaps too advance for me right now. Although, I get the gist of the meaning behind it. I guess I'll just have to add all of these top genetic traits, which the function considered to be of normal evolution and not modifications.'
'Alright. Let's get to work.'
He streamlined most of the prompts but found himself on a slump when encountering something that was not within the scope of his knowledge. Thankfully, the system assisted him. As soon as he finished chipping away at the Body Composition, he started with the next category.
There were some parts in the consciousness that were greyed out, which he was unable to modify. Nonetheless, he architected a very rare consciousness mostly based on his possessiveness.
Sy got too immersed with the Human Generator that he did not realized a day and a half had already gone - a time span where he would finish a sophisticated computer system in one go. His body seemed to reject the need for rest and sustenance. After all, what can best ignite the passion of a man than his carnal desire.
Only when his stomach protested with a growl that he noticed his hunger and thirst. He took a quick bite and gulped a mouthful of water before rushing back to his work.
'I'm almost done!' Sy felt relieved but somehow nervous.

'What the f*ck!?' Sy mentally cursed at the absurd numbers he saw, 'Her base stats are way higher than mine!'
Soon, he realized the probability that it was because of the top genetic traits. He then began working with the status. First, he wanted her to be a Pioneer as well and added all the basic tech into her Technology Skills. His obsession for her security made him put all the available points left into Martial Skills - bar a single point for a rare Specialty.

Sy sunk back into his seat - the floor. Finally, it was done.
'I haven't yet digested the majestic image I creat--' Sy went motionless as an otherworldly 3D image came up to his vision. He swallowed hard as it finally registered into his mind, what he had painstakingly sculpted with all effort, was a bonafide goddess.
It was a woman with silver hair. Black eyes like the void and sprinkled with grey as if countless of stars - a dual galaxy. Her excessive curves had already torn her current clothes, revealing a bit of the delicate skin - a sight that already affected the designer with an itch that was totally different than anything else.
'Yeah, whatever..' Sy mused, looking guilty at what he had created.
He was not even happy nor satisfied, but terrified.
"Well, then Human Generator." He proclaimed, "Let's see if you can miraculously materialize this impossible existence."

'Oh well!'
