2 Fenrir

By the time he reached the light his power fell to 6%.

Now that he was closer he could see that the light was coming from a relatively intact ship, if you ignored the big hole in the middle.

After getting inside he saw what looked like a hangar and there were even Mech pieces floating around.

Before he could do anything, he heard a cute female voice.

"Welcome back Captain"

"Uh... Hello?"

"..."

"..."

<Well this is awkward...>

<That scared me but at least I am not alone, also she called me Captain I should try to get some more information from her.>

"So... who are you?"

"I am the Virtual Intelligence tasked with operating and maintaining the vessel Fenrir."

"I see...and you said that I am the Captain of this ship correct?"

"Affirmative"

<Nice not only do I have a Mech but I also have a ship... THIS IS SO AWESOME!! Awfully convenient but AWESOME!>

"Status report" heh I always wanted to say that.

"Scanning..."

...

"Scan complete. Hull integrity at 87% There are multiple hull breaches across the ship, main power reactor offline, auxiliary power at 54%. I advise immediate action to resolve this."

"Can you fix this?"

"Affirmative."

"Then do it."

"Affirmative"

As soon as she said that, thick metallic walls appeared sealing the holes in the wall. After the last hole was gone air started rushing into the hangar creating a powerful wind and throwing everything around. Shortly after, the lights and gravity turned on and Darx's Mech almost fell on it's back but recovered at the last moment.

<That would have been embarrassing.>

"Warning! Power levels at 5% please return to a Mech Station as soon as possible."

<Oh yeah, forgot about that.>

"Um... how should I call you?"

"My current name is Arfa, do you wish to change it?"

"No, Arfa is good." kinda cute name I guess.

"Where is the Mech Station?"

"There are 4 Mech Stations in the hangar, 2 on the left side and another 2 on the right side. Currently only Mech Station 2 is functional. It is located on the right side."

Looking around Darx could see some kind of structure with small catwalks, mechanic arms and other kinds of tools, it was slightly bigger than his Mech.

As soon as he got in front of it he suddenly got a popup on his screen asking if he wanted to dock at Station 2. After he accepted the Mech started moving on its own positioning itself between the mechanical arms. When this was over his chair started rising and after about half a meter it turned around while the wall in front of him opened up.

Getting out of the Mech and onto the catwalk he could finally see how big it was.

Holy shit, it should be around 10 meters at least, that's bigger than the building that I used to live in. Well... now what? If this is my ship then it should have info about who I am and what happened.

"Arfa! Do you have records about me?"

"Affirmative"

"Can I see them?"

"The information has been sent to your personal datapad"

Checking his pockets he found a weird smartphone looking device. It was black and as big as his hand. Pressing the button on it's side the screen brightened up and soon it displayed the available apps. In the corner he could see that he received 2 new files.

The first file was his Mercenary Guild Profile and the second one were the ship's latest logs.

<That's not a lot of info but I guess it's better than nothing. Oh there's also a photo of me...>

"What the..."

<I look the same except now I have white hair and blue eyes. What The Hell. Though I do look younger and I have a fit body but still. WHY THE SAME FACE. I mean I am not ugly, probably above average but the problem is that I look too similar to my old self. Is this a coincidence or...>

<Welp I guess I should concentrate on more important things like what happened with the battle outside.>

Looking through the logs he learned that he departed from a space station called Pensha VI Station located in orbit above Pensha VI which is a mining planet. His destination was an asteroid in the outer asteroid belt. He was meant to mine it for precious metals and return to be rewarded depending on the amount and rarity of the materials, but while he was in the middle of mining his long range radar detected an approaching fleet.

The logs ended abruptly and only continued after he returned to the ship.

"Huh..."

<This is too big of a coincidence, or rather there had been too many coincidences ever since I woke up. I smell a big conspiracy but I can't do anything about it right now.>

<For now I think I should go to Pensha VII Station and repair the ship... how expensive is that gonna be, actually do I even have money?>

"Arfa, how much money do I have right now?"

"You currently have 50000 credits in your account."

"How much will repairs cost?"

"Estimated repairs cost for the ship is around 760000 credits and for the Mech it's around 100000 credits."

"..."

<That's it I am dead.>
