A couple of days have passed since the whisperspawn appeared, even though I handled the problem. It’s been pretty quiet out there with hardly much to worry about.
I’d consider us lucky for the ti being since not a lot of people without so sort of ability can survive them. Mostly because those talents, powers, or magic can actually make a difference in the fights.
It wasn’t the first ti I heard those whispers before... I just never actually confronted them like that.
But on a side note, Ghost has improved over the last few days with her movent and even so of her speech beca more clear. Still no signs of her mories returning but at least everything else seems to be working properly.
She still seems to worry quite a bit about because of the pain in my gut but it can’t be avoided. I got slashed and stabbed in the sa day so it’s a bit hard to avoid that kind of pain.
Still can’t understand how I survived that in the first place.... They were pretty bad wounds from my understanding and I noticed that they bled through the bandages.
"Rokuro do you ever go past the junkyard?" Ghost asks, breaking my chain of thoughts.
"Not really. It’s not smart for a junker to do such a thing." I respond with a bit of disappointnt in my voice.
It’s hard not to feel that way because maybe sothing greater is outside this damn junkyard. Hunters co in and clear out so of the monsters then I just go collect whatever I need.
Sa process for years now, yet I’ve achieved nothing from it. I ran one of my hands through my hair as I sat back on one of the old chairs.
I’m not getting younger, the world is only getting worse, and now I have a new person with . Ghost might be who I needed to finally leave this junkyard, but how can I do it?
She’ll definitely need so proper preparation before we try to venture out past anything. There’s also the problem with her fear of the monsters that needs to be handled.
Maybe it’s possible to make so sort of sword for her to use against them since she should have the speed to beat them.
"Ghost I want to run a few tests on you quick, is that okay?" I ask with a calm tone.
I’m not an asshole who will just force everything on her so I’ll do this the way I was raised, respectfully.
"I don’t mind it.. you did save .." Ghost responds with a shy expression across her face.
"Thank you." I say before getting up to hook everything up.
The computer screen unlocked and I could see the status appear for everything once more.
I need to run a few different limb based tests to see if they’d hold up against a monster or if they’d fail. Her reflexes are the biggest test I’ll be running here so hopefully it’ll work.
Run simulation based on current paraters? Yes.
Limb functionality.... Good. 80% speed out of possible 120%.
Reflexes have been tested based on current parts.... 100% functional. Each scenario was 80% successful with current specs.
Fear override.... Unsuccessful.
So she’ll have to get over that on her own which isn’t a big deal but it would’ve saved a lot of ti. It’s not like I always had it in to go out there to confront those damn monsters.
I was terrified most of the ti because they are way stronger than .
"Is everything okay Rokuro?" Ghost asks with a bit of concern in her voice.
I probably looked like I was worried about sothing which isn’t the case right now... Luckily.
"Everything is perfect, I just want to work on sothing for you." I reassure her before unhooking everything.
Working on a decent weapon for her would be the best choice for now since she can probably react faster than . It really is a mystery how they couldn’t do as much as a hunter back then.
All these special enhancents on them and they still got outclassed but I guess talents, magic, or so sort of ability would do that. I wonder if it’s possible for a cyborg to have an awakening like that?
She’d be pretty damn powerful if that was the case. Well, if the talent was a high ranking one.
E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and the rarest of them all SSS. No one has ever been confird to have a talent with such a high ranking since everyone awakened. It still baffles that I didn’t even get lucky enough to have an E rank talent.
"I’ll head back to the other room for a little while." Ghost says before leaving the room.
"Sorry Ghost, just figuring sothing out. I’ll have a gift for you in a bit." I reply loud enough for her to hear.
Ti to get to work, even with this sharp pain in my gut... It hurts like a bitch.
I pulled every piece possible that I could use for a sword into the main shop room. It didn’t take long for to start welding a bunch of crap together since I did it most of the ti anyway.
A sword made from scrap would probably be just enough for her to defend herself and if needed. I’ve never really made a sword before but I have done a lot of welding over the years.
That’s why this shop is so fortified in the first place.
A couple of hours passed and I could feel myself sweating but the sword was finally done.
I looked down at the sword in my hands.
It wasn’t pretty... hell, it barely looked like a sword. Just a hunk of sharpened tal welded to a makeshift hilt, held together by desperation and a few curse words. But it felt solid. Heavy in the right way.
I’d carved the edge from an old street sign, the letters still half-burned into the steel. "Speed Limit" or sothing, now half gone. The spine ca from a broken suspension bar... dense, ugly stuff that hated heat. Took way longer to weld than it should’ve, especially with this constant pain in my gut making want to puke.
The hilt was a strip of synthetic leather I’d torn from an old bike seat, wrapped tight and wired down with copper stripped from the wall.
Not much of a guard either, just a busted gear I’d hamred flat and stuck on out of instinct.
This was the best a junker like myself could do, I wasn’t so blacksmith who worked on weapons all my life. I hope she’ll like it at least, it reminds of myself in a lot of ways.
A piece of junk but it’s all held together and can probably do so fine work.
