The Almighty Ring

br>This event must be the chance that 0541 had meant! But the question he had right now was, how was he supposed to make use of this situation?

 Although the sudden explosions and solar flares from the sun’s black spot had damaged part of the ship’s operations, it did not affect the holding cell’s functions in any way.
Jiang Fei and the girls were still powerless and trapped inside, and still have no chance of taking advantage of this situation!

 …

 “Captain! Our scanners have picked up what seems to be an energy reading from an energy core!” 0541’s report resounded throughout the holding cell.

 “I want a thorough scan now!” Akatziris ordered.
Her attention had shifted completely from torturing Jiang Fei to the acquisition of the new energy core.
After all, there was nothing the prisoners could do to stop her or make her release them from captivity, and acquiring a new energy core was a bigger priority than them.

 “Captain, the scan has confirmed that the target is indeed a new energy core!” 0541 soon confirmed the scanner results of the target.

 “What core is it?” Akatziris asked.

 “Analyzing…” 0541 began analyzing the energy readings from the scanners.

 “Never mind that.
Lock the tractor beam onto the core first.
We’ll analyze it once it’s in our hands.” Akatziris changed her order.

 As a Namekian herself, Akatziris was familiar with the properties and behavior of energy cores.
Although these mysterious elements were not living objects, they did not sit idly in one place.
Each core contained immense amounts of energy and were very active kinetically and would fire themselves off in random directions at blinding speeds, erratically traversing space immediately upon creation.
One second it could be right there right in front of their very eyes and the next, already light years away at the edge of the universe!

 “Yes, captain!”

 The ship’s tractor beam which was already locked onto its target then fired a beam of light and began the process of pulling the energy core toward the ship.
More and more power was being supplied to the tractor beam, pushing it to the limit as it slowly pulled the core toward the main laboratory storage.

 “Well? How is it going?” Akatziris was impatient.
She was very concerned about the operation and did not want anything to go wrong.

 “Everything seems to be in order.
The core has just been created and is still in its dormant state.
Extraction is going smoothly,” 0541 reported.

 “Good! Very good!” Akatziris nodded.
She was pleased with the reply.

 …

 A few seconds into the extraction, 0541 suddenly gave them an alarming report!

 “Captain! Something’s wrong! The core is emitting strong energy waves!”

 “What’s happening? Answer me!” Akatziris shouted.

 “The core seems to have detected another existing core of the same properties within this solar system! The two cores are repelling each other, forcing this one to jump off into another solar system!” 0541 replied.

 “Increase the tractor beam’s power! We can not allow this core to leave!” Akatziris barked her order.
Coming across an energy core was not an everyday event, and she was not about to let this one slip away!

 “Tractor beam power output set to overdrive.
Captain, we have successfully neutralized the repelling effects and stopped the core from jumping away.
Estimated twelve seconds to core acquisition,” 0541 announced.

 Seconds ticked by as Akatziris anxiously waited for the core to be pulled into the ship.
If not for the fact that she was a machine, there would already be beads of sweat on her brow right now.

 “Five!”

 “Four!”

 “Three!”

 …

 As the countdown timer closed in on zero, the core passed Braveheart’s storage bay doors and was now inside the ship.
And once it was secured inside the lab’s containment unit, any attempt to jump off and escape would be futile!

 “Two!”

 “One!”

 But just as the new core was brought to the entrance of the laboratory, 0541 suddenly changed the tractor beam’s direction, causing it to shoot toward the holding cell where Jiang Fei and the others were at twice warp speed!

 “This is the last thing I can do for you, brother.
The rest is up to you now!” 0541 thought as he felt his core program codes crumbling.
He had went against his core directives as the ship’s virtual assistant and was now being forcefully deleted!
