Chapter 202 In My Defense

"I want you to get all the info you can about this thing that might be useful when we get back home. You can communicate with settlements all over the world like ours, so I am sure that you will be able to talk with other people. See if you can dig anything up," I told Binder, and he nodded.

"I will do the best I can. There are many new weapons for me to look over as well," Binder said, and that reminded me about their Systems.

"I guess that I can give you both your Systems now," I said and reached a hand to Binder, but he stepped back with his hands up, confusing me.

"I think that you should give us some time to study what we are working with here. Once I understand what we have found better and cross-reference it with what I assumed, then I should be ready," Binder said, and Jack nodded.

"Yeah, I am with Binder. I mean, I want the thing, but he is right. Now that we have the stuff, I would really like to get a better look at what I am going to be working with. Once I understand that stuff, like Binder said, versus the stuff that I already know, you might be able to give me something fancy, right?" Jack asked, and I nodded with a smile.

"Very good ideas. I am glad that you both are thinking ahead about these things. I would have just given you the Systems and called it a day. I am glad you suggested getting to know your chosen fields a bit better," I said, and Binder nodded, but Jack just shrugged.

"I am smart, but not in the way this fella is, so I will stick with his plan. Might be going with the flow, but it is what it is," Jack said, and I tipped my head to the side with a shrug and slight sideways look.

"Not bad to flow a well-laid path. You understand why he is doing it, and it is a good plan, in my opinion. It would be a problem if you didn't understand and were really just going with the flow. This is more like going with the path best followed," I said, and Jack nodded appreciatively.

"I'll just pretend you called me smart and call it a day," Jack laughed, and I joined him.

"Are you done? I am hot out here, and I want to know what is in that bunker, Papi. I want to do some exploring so go clean the place out!" Sofia complained, and I nodded.

"Yes, lead the way," I said, and Sofia and Riley started to march east.

I followed them until we reached a half-barrel building about the size of the crate that Sofia had made, nearly two hundred feet long and fifty wide. I groaned to think about how much more was going to have to be packed in.

"You had better not be groaning about all the treasure we are going to have to take from here! You didn't even help with the first load!" Sofia growled as we looked at the bunker.

"That was because I was getting eaten by monsters," I replied, but Sofia gave me a look.

"Eddie told me that he was the one getting eaten while you talked with that pig woman! All she talks about is wanting to breed you!" Sofia complained.

"In my defense, I had to watch the other four in her party make their heads explode," I said, and Sofia made a disgusted face.

"That sounds horrible!" Sofia said, and I nodded.

"She did it to make herself too stupid to question, so I fixed that problem. Now she thinks that I owe her a new race of creatures to order around," I said with a sigh.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"More pigs? Are they tough? Maybe we could make an army out of them?" Sofia asked, and I shrugged.

"I am more concerned about figuring out how to integrate that node in their brains into our own. If we could do that, people wouldn't even need Systems to become powerful. Paired with my own to control people if they get crazy, we could make humans nearly to the level of Gods. Something like that would take a long time to accomplish, but now we are gifted with that time," I explained, and Sofia nodded.

"That is if we can get out of this solar System and away from the people trying to kill us," Sofia replied, and I nodded with a sigh.

Thinking about what our future was going to be like or how it could make the current issues seem so trivial. These people that were hiding in this bunker right now still seemed to think the world was the same as it was before. It was sad, but I was going to have to deal with these people accordingly.

"Head back, and I will call you over after I have cleaned up and confirmed that it is safe," I said to the two, and they both nodded, leaving me alone.

Once they were gone, I walked up to the end of the building, which looked like half a massive cement pipe sitting from the ground. I scanned the building, and I could see that there were some slits where people were standing behind watching me. I could see right through the building, targeted everyone inside, and then walked up to the single large, heavy-duty door.

"We don't want any of your kind around here, Alien! Leave now, and you may get to do so with your life!" A soldier snarled at me through a slit in the door.

I looked past the soldier, and there was some kind of energy weapon set up on the other end of the building. It was pointing at the door, so I assumed this was what they had to stop me.

The weapon wasn't like the others I had seen, and this one was black and yellow in a hexagon shape. It looked like it might have been made by bees if they had higher human intelligence.

"What about if you all just put down your weapons, turn off the bee cannon, and come out in a single file line?" I asked hopefully.
