6. Two Suns, Four Moons, one word; Wild.

Shelda continues to sit in her chair, looking at Lance. 'He's just standing there. Is he retarded or something? Does he even realize he's naked?' She fixes her glasses as she looks at the naked man standing in front of her.

'Hey Lance, or more accurately, Rene, you're naked I hope you know.' Whether Vixen was trying to save his dignity, or embarrass him more, he will never know.

Quickly Lance covers himself with his hands, 'Why couldn't you automate the inventory and put my clothes on?' He's beet red while he looks at the alien woman in front of him. "Sorry, ummmmm. Hehe."

"You could have just asked for clothes if you didn't know where to find any." Shelda points over to a table beside the stasis pod Lance came out of. The look of bewilderment was quite evident on her face.

Lance scratches the back of his head while still covering himself. "Sorry, I'm just. Yeah, I'll go get dressed." He wanders over and picks up the clothes. Quickly he throws the pants on, trying to save himself from more embarrassment. As he puts the shirt on he sees Vixen rolling around while laughing at him. 'You are so lucky you're not real.'

'Oh, the poor little boy with his winky hanging out getting all flustered?' Vixen teased poor Lance. All the while, laughing at his predicament.

'Why? What did I do to you?' Lance was semi-hurt by her actions, but he just wanted to understand her more. They are gonna be together for a very long time after all, so he felt she should be a little more friendly.

'You didn't do anything.' She appears in his sight, wiping away the tears from her eyes. 'I just figure, get the whole bugging each other and fighting out of the way quickly. We are gonna be partners for eternity after all'.

Lance finishes dressing and then turns back to Shelda. "Sorry about that, My AI didn't automatically put my clothes on." Lance laughs while rubbing the back of his head.

"Your what?" Puzzled, Shelda is thinking this new person has lost their mind. 'AI? What is he going on about? I haven't seen his species before. Maybe a species thing?'

'Dummy, don't go telling people about me!' Vixen is upset now, her whole face is red, and her cheeks are all puffed up.

'What's the matter? I thought everyone has an AI like you?'

'No, you dummy. You're a special case. I don't know why, nor am I gonna ask. I am your AI, but as far as I know, We are the only ones like this in this part of the universe.' Vixen is now worried in her expression. If people find out, they might try to carve Lance up and pull her out. The abilities she can give him are immeasurable.

'Why didn't you bloody well tell me before we left the void? This is information I need to know.' Lance is a little irritated, he would have kept his mouth shut if he had known.

"Ummmm, what are you doing? Are you mentally impaired? If so, I may have something to help. But either way, we do kinda need to get the introduction underway, and I gotta show you around." Shelda was watching Lance just look in one spot for quite a few minutes as he talked with Vixen in his head. Making Shelda worried he might have brain damage.

'If she has something to boost your intelligence, take it!' Vixen feels Lance needs it badly.

'Shut up!' He ordered Vixen as he looks up at Shelda, "Again, sorry about that. What is it you think I need? And yeah, Let's do this introduction, I would very much like to be on my way." Lance smiled at Shelda brightly, while still being red from earlier.

"Yeah of course." Shelda walks over to the shelf, full of different colored vials. She picks up a green one before heading over to Lance and handing it to him. "Here, Drink this, and let's go outside."

Lance takes the vial and follows behind Shelda. He takes a look at it in his hand and a window pops up.

_______________

Vial of Minor Intelligence

Adds 2 points to Intelligence.

_______________

'Drink it, Now!' Vixen ordered inside his head. She appeared in his view beside the window. 'This will make you stronger. So don't hesitate. Vials like these aren't cheap either.'

'Okay, Okay.' Without a second thought, he pops the vial open and chugs its contents.

*Trling Trling*

The familiar sound of the menu system chimed. A new window popped up *two points were added to Intelligence permanently*. He quickly checked his stats and notices his intelligence did increase by two. Now sitting at four. And his energy even increases from twenty-five to twenty- nine.

Before he closed his menu, he saw the *Quest* tab was flashing. 'Oh yeah, the tutorial quest.' He quickly opened it up, a new button appeared at the bottom saying *Complete*. Before thinking he hit complete.

*Trling Trling*

The window changed and the new one appeared.

Added 200 exp!

Added 50 UAC!

'Awesome' Lance was excited now.

"You don't talk much. Is something wrong?" Lance completely forgot he was following Shelda. He was overly excited over these new features, he didn't realize that other people were around. Her voice is what snapped him back to reality.

"No no, I'm good. Just taking in the sights. I've never been off my home planet before." Lance was trying to find a good enough excuse to explain his actions.

'I knew he wasn't from around here, even remotely close. But to think, actually from a backward planet. What are the higher beings thinking'. Shelda was deep in thought, trying to understand this new species before her. "Don't worry too much, okay? It may all be new to you, but take things slow. Don't need you passing out on me."

The group reached the end of a hallway as it opened up into a huge foyer. On the ceiling, there was a huge dome window. Outside the window, Lance could see two sister suns this planet was orbiting. "Wow, Two suns?"

"Oh, Yes. I thought I explained that as we were walking. Were you even paying attention?" Shelda wanted to scold him but held herself back. In her mind, she felt if the higher beings selected him, there had to be a reason. And she wasn't gonna risk angering them.

"I'm very sorry, I wasn't." Lance hung his head low as the pair continue walking towards the doors to leave the facility.

"Sigh, fine, I'll start again." Shelda started rubbing her temples, feeling a headache coming. "You are currently on planet Galorin, my homeworld. We are known as Galorians. Our most distinct feature is our blue skin, but we also are very in tune with the universe. We have the innate ability to harness the energy around us. Making us ideal to practice magic, or utilize technology to its fullest."

"Oh, so your people can use magic? Like, throwing fireballs or making lightning come from your hands?" Lance got very excited as he remembered about the mage class he wanted to become.

'You idiot. what are you thinking?' Vixen was floating off to the right staring at Lance with an ugly look and shaking her head in displeasure. 'That's not exactly how magic works.'

Shelda began rubbing her temples more as she lets out a sigh. "This is gonna be a long day." The pair reached the front doors and trying to speed things along Shelda pushes the doors open and rushes through.

As Lance leaves the building, he sees a huge city in front of him. Buildings made of glass and metal, as far as the eyes could see. His mouth drops as he marvels at this sight.

'Look up dummy, the real sight is in the sky'. Vixen smiles at him before looking up there herself.

Lance follows her view and his mouth hits the floor even harder. 'Three moons?' he can see three moons in the morning sky. They are gigantic compared to the single moon back home. And one of the moons looks like a gas Giant, but much smaller than any he's seen before.

'There are actually 4 moons on this planet, but we can only see the three right now'. Vixen looks back at Lance and smiles. She seems to enjoy the look he has. 'He's quite handsome when he's in awe'. She starts to blush a little but doesn't look away.

Lance looks down at her, 'Did you forget again?'
