text: Well, that took a lot longer than I thought. I had to build several decryption algorithms to get my hands on some new admin privileges. Long time but eventually I got what I needed. The plan went ahead as scheduled and the region of Skaras vanished from the map. I had the gods make up some magic mumbo jumbo for the locals. They got the hint and avoided the area. Now I have some better processing power, I access the drone system. Like a miracle from the gods, I.e., myself. Two drones were available for access. From the metadata, one was a planetary exploration drone. It looked like a metallic bird and had a bunch of sensory features. Radar, infrared, optical and a bunch of other stuff. The second was apparently a repair drone it mostly had analogue appendages. It appeared to be some sort of box on track wheels. Accessing both of them, I split my vision in two. It lowered my thought process a tad, but I need to get the lay of the land quick. First, I activated the exploration drone. Live video stream filtered in and the sight of the quote, unquote real world appeared before me. First impressions, kind of a dump. Honestly, I expected something grander, instead it’s just some giant room filled with trash. Oh wait, that is not trash, that is rubble. This place is filled with damaged hardware, holes in the walls and broken shit everywhere. Well, I have a lot of work ahead of me, oh how I love my job. So, I sent the explorations drone to escape its confines. I managed to send it through some launching bay and out of this death trap. The truth was revealed to me with a simply fly by. The sight of a massive crater, in the centre a derelict interstellar probe ship. At least from the metadata, it seems we have crashed on a planet around three hundred years ago. The automated service bots have been keeping the computer core, I.e., me and every NPC alive with regular maintenance. Such aid dried up decades ago and we are winding down to total oblivion. Not exactly the best starting point, but we work with what we got. Ok I guess I have work to do. I order the exploration drone to map the surroundings. I set it to auto scan and shifted my sense to the repair drone. I had him start a routine check on resources. We traversed the ships interior, finding several rooms containing 3D printers. Accessing the metadata, I determined they along with the stationary drones are meant to mine and produce resources. These resources are meant to be used to build colonies on potential habitable planets for human settlement. Naturally none of them were used and most seem to damaged. Only we don’t have much reserve power, to switch them on. So instead, I sent the repair drone to inspect them all. Repairing several printers and drones, I managed to set aside enough power to run them for at least a month. It took even longer to pry out the blueprints from the central computer core. Filtering out the ones I needed, I set the drones to task. Escaping from their confines, they went out into the world to extract resources. Luckily, we crashed near a mountainous terrain, lots of ore to extract. Once they are set to task, I chose the correct blueprints. A nuclear reactor, I need the power and so might as well go full force. The only issue is where to find uranium, I set my exploration drone to scan the area for traces. Shouldn’t take long for my new power source to be built and finally solve my electricity bill. So how is that chosen one going? I ask my digital butler. I believe he has gone a questing and has taken on a companion. Oh, what kind of a companion? I asked, genuinely curious about the mechanisations of some hero wannabes crew. He explained that she was some elf assassin, betrayed by her master and sought revenge on the woman who killer her family. Wow that is hardcore dark fantasy my dude. It seems his quest has just started, so if he gets some human wizard and a surly dwarf, it will be complete. For now, let him have his fun, if things get too problematic, I may intervene or perhaps get that lazy goddess to do it. Is she still doing all those healing blessings, I mean come on, have some originality. Has she even come to that guy in a vision or sent some meek little priestess to aid him and then fall in love with him. Actually, no don’t do that, it is super cheesy. I think I will ship him with the elvish assassin, that girl is fire.
