"So, from what I can see from this screen, I can summon armor and weapons to help myself," Katie said as she swiped at the screen that I had sent over to her.
"Yes, and you will not be affected by any traps that are inside, but you will still have to fight the monsters. We will be running down the same path, but rooms that we enter that have the monster clones will be separate," I explained, pulling up a map screen that gave a full three-dimensional view of the Challengers Dome dubbed by Katie.
The map was only something we could see, so I could freely move it with my hands and mind. I set the image on the water's surface and expanded it to show a room with some green Orcs.
"Wait, there are monsters?! How does that even work?!" Katie exclaimed as she closed her screen to focus on the massive hairless men with tusks protruding from their mouths.
"These are Melody and Sofia's creations. Can sense them all working right now on other areas that aren't ready. This will be a good place for us to train for the fighting that is sure to come, so I want to get everyone working on it. Right now, we only have basic monsters like this, and we have a Dragon as well, but it can't fly or breathe fire, so it's a bit anticlimactic," I explained, and Katie nodded.

"We should try to get people that can help with this kind of thing. I am sure that you can use the tree intercom system to find people that design fighting AI. If you can get them working with the others, that might help speed things along," Katie explained, and I nodded.
"That is a good idea. There are a lot of different types of people we are going to need going forward. There is no reason for us to keep doing everything ourselves. I asked the girls to do it before, so I will just add a couple more things for them to call out for," I replied, but Katie shrugged.
"You should just ask people who are best at something to help. I mean, you can ask for specific things, but you never know what you need sometimes until it's staring you in the face," Katie suggested.
"That sounds like a shopaholic mantra, but I can see what you mean. Maybe you should help them with the announcement," I suggested, and Katie shrugged.
"Sure, but I will just be there to give suggestions. I don't like getting up on stage like that. I would sooner be proving myself, so I can ignore the crowd," Katie said and then asked, "Do you think that people are going to want to watch? Will they even be able to?"
"That is something I think will come once Anya and I figure out the project we started brainstorming for. We are trying to let people record memories that they have while reading books. Then I want to create a large round theater that has a three hundred and sixty-degree view around a single stage that would display the memories like movies in Three-D," I explained.
"Ah, I see, but your problem is storing the memories? What about the extra thoughts that people have? Or if their thoughts wander?" Katie asked, and I gave her a kiss.
"Didn't think about that, making it a lot harder. Maybe Anya is the best choice for the last System. I don't need to give Victoria a System since I can just enhance her body to the point where she has full control of plants. Chelsea might be a good idea, but she already has one. If we can work on this for a while, I can give her the last System with Sofia's help, and she could be the missing link for the project," I said, and Katie nodded.
"That does sound like a solid plan, but is entertainment really that important? Don't get me wrong, I think it is a good idea, but shouldn't you be trying to get more offensive Systems?" Katie asked, but I shook my head.
"We have tons of firepower; we just need to train it. Firaga has more systems that we can put in clones, but we will be running some through her Gacha system. I wanna see what she can put in a clone after seeing the weapon she made for Marley. One day this will be all over, and we aren't going to need the offensive Systems. At this point, I would prefer to get systems that will help us to make the world more interesting. The Villains are just zits that need to be popped once we knock the Hiveship out of the sky," I explained.
"I guess that makes sense, but don't you think you are getting too overconfident? It is still pretty early for you to be judging this AI race. We have no clue what they are doing now, right?" Katie asked, and I shrugged.
"Maybe, but I really don't think the AI has a snowball's chance in hell with the way that we keep going. I can feel that I am getting close to another Growth Spurt soon, and I don't plan on stopping. We will take our world back, and then it will be ours. After that is done, I want to be able to enjoy cool things more than I want to fight," I said, standing up from the water.
"As long as you know what you are doing, I guess it's fine," Katie sighed, but I laughed.
"I have no idea what I am doing! I am just doing what I think is right. Once we are done here, I will probably start looking like the villain when I head over to the other continents. They are not going to like having to follow my new rules. Still, I am not leaving the rest of the world to suffer because people don't want to get along," I said as green shorts and a black t-shirt covered my body.
