Harem In The Intergalactic Apocalypse

After all the sheets were off, I did another room scan, but my System was acting haywire again like it had been doing underground. I searched around, but it didn't take me very long to figure out what was causing this.

Another Silence was in the center of the room, but it was tucked in between some crates. Even after getting the blankets off the stuff, most of the things were in sealed crates. I first needed to know if this place was safe for others, but I could do nothing without my scanner.

I moved some of the crates out of the way, but one of the boxes was dramatically heavier than the others. I decided to open it up, using my roots to pry the sealed top that was nailed down. Once I lifted the top off, I looked inside, finding that it was filled with small gray metal discs with tiny plates going around the edges. They almost looked like cement cutting blades.

I picked one of them up and flipped it over in my hand. The disc was extremely light, but both sides looked the same. I tried to press around on the item, but it wasn't responding to anything I did, so I put it back for now. There was a good chance that the Silence might be affecting a bunch of the things in here.

Once I moved everything from around the floating oval, I made a few circles around the Silence. It was white, but it was segmented to give it a futuristic look, with blue lite coming from the cracks. There was nothing on the sides in the way of buttons, and neither was there anything on the top.

I was tempted to go get Cecil, but I wanted to see if I could get it to work for me. This was probably a bad idea since messing around with alien tech had not gotten us very far in the past, but I was a slow learner.

Still, this thing was nothing more than a floating pylon to me at the moment.

I reach my hand over the top of it, about to put my hand down on top of it, but then a holographic projection of a circle with three buttons on it. The buttons each had strange writing on them, but my System display wasn't there to translate them. I pulled my hand back, and the menu vanished, putting it back again to have it reappear.

"Dammit! I just want to start pressing buttons!" I groaned, almost ready to kick the stupid thing.

"Papi!"

"Damnit, Sofia! Get back up top! It is not safe down here yet!" I snapped as I whirled around to see Sofia, Jack, Binder, Riley, Candace, and Cecil. "Jesus Christ! Do none of you know how to listen?!"

"Don't be such a stickler, or how much longer do you plan to stand there and yell at that thing?" Sofia returned, and I rolled my eyes.

"Everyone, keep your hands off things until I can scan over everything! I am looking at you, Jack!" I growled, pointing multiple roots at him.

"Has he used those tentacles on you?" Cecil asked, leaning into Sofia, but she shook her head.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Not yet, but when we get back-"

"Sofia! You don't need to answer every question that you are asked!" I snapped, but Sofia just glared at me for cutting her off, and I rolled my eyes. "Cecil, can you come over here and shut this off? I don't want to start pressing random buttons, but I can't scan anything with it on."

Cecil left Sofia and came over to me, placing her hand over the Silence. The menu appeared, and she pressed the one with the shortest text at the top.

The moment that she did, all hell broke loose.

Hums, whirls, and every other Sci-Fi noise that you can think of, filling the large long bunker.

"This doesn't seem good," I said, but Cecil shrugged.

"It's just noise. Most of the things in here use power sources that aren't even on this planet or in our solar system. Using the Silence is the only way to turn most of the things off. The actual dangerous stuff is below the tenth level of the main bunker that I was in," Cecil explained, and everyone started to look around.

I kept my eye on all of them, but I was also doing a full scan of the room, and my System was cataloging things. There was also a message that I was due for another Growth Spurt, but this time I was given a couple of options. They were special buffs that would help my System immensely, but the options were constantly changing as the scan was in process.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Below the tenth? There is nothing below the Tenth floor, and I can pull up an almost complete layout of the bunker, minus the tenth floor. I can see that there is nothing but concrete and dirt after the last floor," I said, and Cecil Explained as Sofia came over to my other side, taking my hand and leaning into my shoulder.

"The last floor is beyond strange, and I have only been to the entrance once. I can't really tell you exactly what it is because I don't think anyone knows. There was a device that was found on an alien craft that was shot down, and we call it the Dimensional Cube. How it does what it does, no one knows. What it does is creates a space that can be up to one hundred miles cubed, or that is the best we can get. This space is not on earth or even in this reality. It is like another dimension, and that is where it got its name," Cecil explained, and I made a surprised face.

"Wow, that big? What does it do to hold people?" I asked, thinking about how it might be used to keep people safe in the case of a catastrophic event.

"That is still up for debate. As I said, we don't know much about it, but only one person was allowed in there. They don't speak any language that we have ever heard or can translate," Cecil said.
