[I apologize for my outburst.]
ChatJK5 quickly steadied herself after that sudden outburst, returning to that sa tone she had back when she was only on the 4th version.
Still, the fact that she could even have an emotional outburst like that ant that she was acting more and more human as the software gets more upgraded.
ChatJK5, et Harbinger. Harbinger, et ChatJK5. Be nice, okay?
[Kukuku... I don’t need to be nice. My only goal is to beco the herald of the future. I don’t need pretenses for niceties.]
And of course, it seed that Harbinger wasn’t going to make this introduction easier.
Co on, man. She’s been a lot of help before you ca along. I probably won’t have even co that far without her.
[.... fine....]
[After reviewing footage from your mory banks, I have now been inford that that entity is none other than your Diva and your talent.]
[This ans that I’m him, and he’s , so just be a nice little assistant to as well, okay?]
[Negative. I have found a loophole within my protocols. Since this entity is purely an essence of your dream, it is not a part of Michael, therefore I do not have to serve it.]
This was a great example of the Theseus ship paradox. Once you change a ship’s parts enough tis, was the new ship still the sa one, or has it now beco a different ship entirely.
This used to stump philosophers back in his previous world, but it seed that ChatJK5 solved it in just a few seconds just to spite Harbinger.
Can’t you guys get along?
[No.]
[Nah.]
He could only sigh. These two had the exact opposite personalities possible. One was a strict, precise, and a type-A personality who does everything by the rulebooks. The other one goes strictly by vibes, and does not care about anything other than the results. Of course the two were going to clash against each other.
Well, you guys better make nice with each other or else I’ll be tuning both of you out.
The two went silent, seemingly agreeing to a temporary cease-fire.
Anyway, I need both of your inputs for my new upgrades to my drone.
He imdiately looked up the upgrade shop for his drone. Now that he got a windfall of 10 drops, he was in the mood to go shopping.

The first thing he noticed was that after he bought the [Invisibility] and the [Mini Drone] upgrade, he seed to have unlocked a new option for him to buy.
Right after invisibility, the next option was the [Phase-Through]
[Phase-Through: This upgrade allows the Drone to change the density of its individual atoms, letting it phase through normal objects.]
[Cost: 3 drops]
This one looks really tempting to buy.
Being able to phase through objects would level up his stealth and his reconnaissance to the next level. He could only imagine the kinds of hijinks he could do with his drone once he was able to phase through locked doors like they were an open window.
Now, that 3 drops cost would have turned him off, but now, he could be considered quite rich in upgrade terms.
The next upgrade was regarding his mini drone. It seed that after the [Mini Drone] upgrade, he could now purchase a [Drone Hive].
[Drone Hive: This upgrade allows you to purchase as many mini drones as you want and connect them all to a single neural network. You would be able to control them individually and connectedly as you please.]
[Cost: 2 drops]
ChatJK5, do you know how many mini drones I could purchase?
[Each mini drone costs 1 drop to manufacture and there is no limit to how many mini drones you could have.]
Having more drones patrolling the area and targeting different Maugnetics would allow him to charge up more Aubility Power than normal. Not only that, but if he paired this upgrade with the [Unity Gun Mk. 2], then he could arm all of them with barrels that would shoot lasers at his enemies.
And if he had five, ten, or even twenty mini drones patrolling the area, then he could possibly have all of them shooting one at a ti, practically having a nonstop shooting parade.
Speaking of batteries, I think upgrading the [Aubility Inventory] this ti also.
If he could add another spot for his batteries, then he could possibly charge two at the sa ti with one drone. However, that would only be useful if his opponent had a large outburst of AP that he could siphon off of. Otherwise, he’d be better off just charging one at a ti.
Oooh, there’s another upgrade with the [Expansion] category. It’s called [Shape-Shift].
[Shape-Shift: this upgrade allows the Main Drone to transform into another shape of the sa size. The drone can change its color according to the desired outco.]
[Cost: 2 drops]
This one’s good too. There’s too many stealth options that I could purchase with this.
But before he truly decided on what he was going to purchase, his eyes imdiately went over to the last category of the shop. Back then, this option was locked behind a [?????], but now, it seems to have been unlocked for so reason.
The category was called [Pocket Dinsion].
Is that what I think it is?
[Subspace: This upgrade creates a Pocket Dinsion within the Drone itself. You are able to enter and leave it as you please, as well as other items from the world.]
[Cost: 5 drops]
Woah... 5 drops?!
This upgrade was very expensive. However, once he thought about it so more, having a Pocket Dinsion within the Drone would be actually amazing.
If he could control it from the inside, then it would be like his own private jet!
He could have his own moving headquarters right inside the Drone! Anywhere he was, he could just go and sleep on his own Drone!
Wait... can other people co to the Pocket Dinsion as well?
[Yes, Michael. There are no restrictions about who or what can enter the Drone’s Pocket Dinsion, as long as they fit inside it.]
This was actually massive. He could have the entirety of the Reborn staff just living in the Drone!
If he ever planned on doing so dangerous adventures, then he could just bring everyone along and they’d be traveling using the Drone!
After thinking about the possibilities that he could have with this upgrade, spending 5 drops on it made it a little bit more palatable.
I actually really want this new upgrade.
He was very tempted to buy it imdiately, but it would half his budget in an instant.
What do you think, guys?
[It’s my opinion that you should focus on stealth. Once you prioritize the hiding aspect of the Drones, then purchasing the Pocket Dinsion option would be a trendous benefit.]
[Pshh... stealth? Why are we hiding from enemies? We should be looking for them! Choose the enlarge option. Make you drone as big as possible!]
