Chapter 4: fellowship & community
—————————————————
Several days after the events of Adam's battle with the White Palace criminal Hazanoki Walker. He's once more traveling through the vast emptyness of space, Adam, makes his way back onto to the black-star ship he was fighting on.
While floating above the ship, Adam's eyes focused in on seeing crews of suited repairmen sent by the federal alliance working towards fixing the outside hull's interior. Softly, he lands down atop the black star-ships metallic surface.
Walking a few steps forward, Adam stops, then turns to look up at the damage walker caused before he pulled him into an alternate dimension from his picture crash orb.
'…This damage is more extensive then I had thought initially, I'll use complex configurum to help mend the damages..'
Walking into the ship, pass the gate Adam feels a light tap at his back he turns to look down and sees a young boy holding some type of toy while he points at him asking: "uhh.. Mister, are you the golden one who I saw on the news a few days ago fighting that scary sword guy? My parents said you were protecting us from the bad man." The young boy looks at Adam with an air of admiration yet nervousness due to seeing someone so much taller than what usually used to.
Adam smiles warmly, then shakes his head, dropping down to a knee to look at the young boy face to face and replies, "Yes, that was me on the news, and don't worry too much about the scary man, as I'll be searching for him again very soon, along with a few others on my list." He lightly pats the boy on his head gesturing for him to run along back to his parents.
The young boy smiles and quickly
runs off waving Adam a nice goodbye.
While getting up from kneeling, Adam turns back to sense the different levels that are being repaired and a second later, he uses complex configurum to scout which areas of the black-star ship are most damaged still from his battle.
Quickly, Adam dashes upwards to the third and fourth levels of the black star-ship. While flying up using Burst Flow, his eyes go digital with mechanical humanoids splitting off from his body as he continuously creates his multipurpose recon drones to send to the lower level hanger and help with speeding up the process of rebuilding.
Shortly after, Adam lands into upper levels, sending more of his recon drones to start repairing damages to the hulls, pipes, and more intricate things such as weapon systems used for defense against threats that might arise.
The federal alliance workers that were sent to deal with the clean up. Saw as Adam himself wss also actively involved in the rebuilding process, aside from his drones, he touched different parts of the ships hull with his hands using complex configurum to add more defensive measures within the ship's internal structure.
Sensing the people watching him. He turned to look towards the workers and put a thumbs up and smiled. "You guys should have the rest of this level secured. I'll go to the roof of the ship and finish up top." Not a moment later, Adam used burst flow and launched himself upward, landing onto the black-stars rooftop.
Landing at the top of the Blackstar ship, Adam activated Complex Configurum, creating more recon drones from out of his body, commanding them to scatter around the roof of the ship and begin a sequence of various repairs to the hull.
While they worked, he found one of the large slashes made by the Hazanoki Walker during their battle and began reconstructing the materials from his hands, placing them onto the destroyed area and building it back up rapidly.
After the repairs were finished, Adam called back all the recon drones on the ship's roof, assimilating them back into his body while he heads back down in the black star ship main levels.
***
Two hours later on blackstar ship delta.
While sitting in one of the local parks, a delta flies along in the reaches of deep space, passing by planets, stars, and beautiful cosmic showers.
Adam sits on a bench while sipping on a bottle of cold liquid, scrolling through his digital watch device to find any leads towards another bounty he can get to.
As of the past few weeks, he's been searching for different White Palace criminals and writing down notices sent out by the federal alliance on targets.
Today he would get his mark.
A Ping goes off on his watcher, and Adam looks down a the notice that speaks about a 4-Star criminal named Luna and her group who have been causing havoc for delivery lines between planets in the galaxy he's currently in.
"…This can't be good. I'll send out a notice to the federal alliance telling them that I'll pick up the hunting trail and start observing the whereabouts of this gang."
Adam gets up from the bench then turns off his watcher making his way out of the park.
As he begins walking down a busy street, he looks around to watch the everyday lives of those who reside within these massive cities housing no less than 4 billion lives per black star ship.
The second and third levels are where the main majority of people resided, with irregulars coming in all different looks and sizes, but also many of those who would use these environments as potential targets to commit crimes against others within these massive city areas.
In the deeper parts of the black starships inner city areas were primarily used as means to either smuggle weapons, drugs like red spice, and trade in extortions of materials for items.
Adam knew that every Blackstar was different to a degree, but now as he watched first hand he would come to fully realize how much criminal organizations such as the black mafia and Thieves Guild controlled by Luna would use these places as means to funnel credits in and out of these places to grow their empires.
Despite the effort he would need to put into battling against these groups, he was not in the slightest bit afraid. If anything, he wanted to prove himself capable of helping those around him
who didn't have the strength to defend themselves against these odds.
one of Adam's first main line goals is to take down and dismantle the Thieves Guild led by Luna, a powerful thief, While his second primary goal is to continue providing aid to the various communities that live on these ships, utilizing his trigger abilities such as complex configurum to help with aid.
Second later, Adam gets a ping on his watcher pulling up a bounty poster of one Luna subordinate named Daren the Wild, a three-star criminal who helps smuggle in credits for weapons trade.
He smiles warmly then looks back up.
"let's begin this hunt for a little thief."
