Chapter 8 by DaveSureLong

Smiling to Eve I rest and let the machine finish

Wake up Soldier we have a clock to fix

Getting up I decide I need more intelligent machines around me and order one of the repair drones to come to the pod bay and one of the Cogitons to come as well.

While I wait for them to come I sent to work preparing materials and parts using my omnitool and some of the towers power supply a d craft a good amount of gears, and light metals as well as a few pounds of Brass and steel sheets. As I do this my omnitool flickers and drains from my battery a small amount.... Seems we'll need to look into the power supply sooner rather than later, but first I need to upgrade the drone.

-11 power 1478/1500

Fast as the drones are it doesn't surprise me that it came first.

"Rest on the table please" I hiss out with a small puff of steam following it.

It quickly complies and rests apon the table and I pull its power supply so it won't suffer while I work. I begin by upgrading it's motors making it faster and stronger, this will be important for my next upgrades. I then set to work upgrading it's Processor Coglines making it capable of swift processing and computing designs efficiently. Lastly I upgrade it's hull making it tougher and fancier replacing the simple smooth brass sheets with steel plates gilded with brass with brass cogs etched into the middle of them. I then plug it back in and it hovers up and spins around for a second before turning and with a sharp hiss of steam vocalizes "What are my orders?"

I reply in similar fashion "I need you to go look at the power supply we seem to be experiencing brownouts"

With a curt dip the new Cogitant Architect goes down the stairs to figure out the problems with our infrastructure. Shortly after one of the Cogitons stomps up the stairs and climbs into the pod already dimly aware of what I have planned.

I repeat a similar process as with the Cogiton upgrading vitals and plating. I however take extra time upgrading it's motors, eyes and plating shaping the plating intricately with gilding etching and shaping to make the shining form of an Officer(think Spanish conquistadors). As I awaken the Cogitant Officer I made him a Simple Brass Spear and cast Replication on his left hand before giving him nod and saying "Go lead the others Lieutenant. Have them patrol the tower and keep intruders at bay."

With my upgrading finished I need to figure out what my next steps are.

What next?
