13 A Tough Choice

Zander brings back up these messages.

[New Skill: Survival Unlocked]

[New Title Unlocked: The Survivor]

Okay. Now I just need to figure out what I'm going to do with my +5. 'Kris. You have any ideas'?

She doesn't respond.

Thinking to himself, if I want to continue with my even building then I should probably do +1 energy, +2 charisma, and +2 luck. I don't even know if I'm going about this all right though. Something has to help me with gathering information. 'Kris, do you know if I have any skills that help with information gathering or hacking or something along this line'?

'Zander you are stupid. That's why I loved being your partner back on Earth. Not to mention that you saved my life a few times. Now to answer your questions, yes. Am I going to tell you, nope. Hahahaha'.

'I love you Kris. Will you please tell me'?

'Aw, thank you. Okay since you asked so nicely. Raise a status to 10 and a new skill will unlock according to that ability stat'.

If I dump all five into luck that only brings me to 9 without my cool rings. Luck has to be the stat she's talking about. If I go my route of an even build, it should take me about a half a week to unlock a skill. Damn you bitch. You did this same shit to me when I was training with you. Fine. Let's play this game of yours. 'Dump all +5 to luck please'.

'Thanks for the vote of confidence you bitch. Now what can you tell me about what happened on this god forsaken planet'.

'I'm only a system. I only know so much. Ask your girlfriend Lola for all these answers. I can only give you so much'.

Jessee walks into the room to see why Zander is still just sitting there. See can see that he's looking but not really looking. More like 1000 yard stare. She waves her hand in front of his eyes. He finally acknowledges her.

"Well do you know of any top secret projects when you were in the military here that might have caused this situation we are in"?

Jessee thinks back to her time in the Zondora Military. There were always these rumors that they could make someone forget everything and implant false memories for a one way mission called Blank Slate. Another project was the one where she was captured called Mockingbird. It dealt with a starting over or something that was supposed to be huge. A game changer. Another project was a gene splicing project to wipe out the whole planet called Deaths Stingray. "I only know of rumors but good luck getting any information on them now. We'd have to break into a military base and search a trillion records. Not to mention I might not even be able to access anything once we do get in since I'm 1000 years older and dead".

"You look great to me. How much damage could have been done to this planet really. It's not like we are the only two left alive. Hahahaha".

Still LAUGHING, Zander gets up and walks out of the room followed by Jessee.

....

In the car they're deciding where to go now. "Car, take us to mistresses house please." Nothing happens. Jessee pushes the little red button. The car comes to life. "Where would you like to go? Please input destination".

Zander shakes his head. "You'd think that for this far into the future they'd have voice activated everything." He touches the screen and brings up the destination for the mistresses house.

The car is sent out of the parking garage and onto the street. While the car is in motion to the house they both carry on talking. "Do you remember anything else before your long nap?"

"Yeah... it was bad. I was captured... unspeakable things were done. Then I went to sleep and next thing I know you're holding me. Please let's...

The car runs over an animal and comes to a stop immediately. A system notification pops up.

[Jackolope Cat Killed]

[100 EXP][200 Chips]

[First Time Killing a Jackolope Cat: 600 EXP]

Getting out of the car, Zander walks over to the animal. He sees it glowing in spots and reaches out his hand.

[Head, meat, fur, and soul stone added to inventory]

Zander confirmed. A dice is rolled and moves out of his filed of vision.

[+5 relationship to all companies] [+1 to any one Stat]

Zander jumps back into the car and they speed off towards the mistresses house. There's no further incidents along the way.

They finally pull up into another parking garage just like the one back at the penthouse. As the car comes to a stop and turns off, they get out cautiously. Something feels off to Zander. With his back to the wall, a needle flies into his chest and a female Zondora runs at him.

He gets into a combat stance waiting for her to fully approach his position. As she's right on top of him, he lands a punch to her solar plex doubling her over. Not wasting a moment he chops her in the back of the neck, knocking her unconscious. He ties up her arms and legs, throws her over his shoulders and walks into the building. "That was too easy. Let's find this dudes play toy shall we"?

Jessee takes his hand so as not to be so scared. They walk into the transportation system and are whisked up-to the top floor. "Looks like he has a thing for the top floor." She LAUGHS nervously. They notice that this building only has two doors and they are double doors at that.

A little CLICKING sound is heard as they approach the other door. They push it open and walk right inside, closing and locking the door behind them. Zander walks into the first room and ties the lady up to a chair. They are amazed at how empty the whole place looks. Going from room to room they notice how simple it is. There's a kitchen that looks like a restaurant, an office that is set up like an old style den with safes all over, kinda like a bank vault, and a work out room. The master bedroom looks just like the other penthouse bedroom.

They walk back into the front room where the Zondora female is starting to stir. He uses his inspection skill on her.

[Zondora Female:]

[25/50 HP]

He shakes his head before speaking to her. "What's your name"?

"Bite me motherfucker"

Jessee backhands her. "Let's try that again shall we? What's your name"?

"Go suck him off. I don't have to answer you".

"Fine. Then I'll ask you something you do know. What in the hell happened to this planet?" Zander asked.

"Hahahahah. You don't remember. That's a you problem. 75 percent of the plant went back to nature. Those that survived went underground or just plain mad. We don't know what caused this. So suck my toes".

Zander whispers to Jessee. "What should we do with her? She seems to have a screw loose. I mean we could just kill her and no one would know".

"What if she knows more but isn't telling us"?

Back at the female, Zander walks up behind her and points the laser pistol to the back of her head. "Why should I let you live"?

"Because sugar, I can show you the time of your life, she can't".

Zander switch's out the laser pistol for the laser sword and ignites the blade through the back of her head. The purple golden blade comes out through her head between the eyes. "No one talks about my friends like that, EVER." He turns off the laser sword and puts it away.
