Project - Prometheus Ch. 17

Believing that it would likely happen and possibly often, she was pulling no punches with how it was coming together. Inari couldn't help but smirk as the catgirl fussed over the smallest detail, wanting everything perfect and trusting only her hands to do this work. Considering how often the old Darkstrider gave them issues and problems, Inari couldn't blame her.

Going over the design of the ship once again, Inari noted that there were a few design and maneuverability sacrifices made. She supposed that Alex had wanted to outfit the ship with every available upgrade he could squeeze in. Inari couldn't fault him for that, as everyone's safety was his top priority.

She wondered about some possible upgrades that she wanted installed to the Darkstrider and how to make them work. It was then that she remembered that they had an engineer onboard and put a call in to Natalya.

"Nats, you there? Nats, come in please," Inari called into the comms line.

"I'm here Inari. What's up?" Natalya asked lazily, her response being audio only.

"I have some design ideas that I will need your help with. Could you come up to the workshop and have a look over what I have in mind? Maybe see if it can fit into the Darkstrider?" Inari asked.

"Sure. Give me... twenty, twenty-five minutes? I'm just taking some time to relax my muscles in the hot tub. Worked them a little hard today," Natalya giggled.

"No hurry Nats. Just come on up when you can," she acknowledged before she killed the line.

"So, love, what ideas do you have for our beloved ship?" Priya asked, sidling up to her lover. Inari punched up the three-dimensional holos she'd made of wat she wanted done. Pree's eyes widened when she laid her eyes on them.

"Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!"

******************************

Korsa sat in Hospital wing, just having arrived back from her room. She had an idea of something she wanted done and went to fetch what she needed before coming back. She raised Jaesa, hoping the AI wasn't too busy and Korsa was answered almost immediately.

"Yes, doctor, you wanted something?" the AI chirped.

"Indeed. I am wondering if its possible for you to reverse engineer a piece of technology that I have with me," Korsa wondered.

"It is possible, provided that the technology isn't alien or beyond my means to replicate. What did you have in mind?" Jaesa replied. In answer, Korsa reached into her long black box and pulled out her toy, placing it on the medical scanner.

"Interesting. Scanning," Jaesa told her. It took the AI all of fifteen seconds to complete the scan, before replying. "It is technology that I can replicate. It's simple enough to build and the required materials are aboard the Perseus in numerous quantities."

"Can you make its maximum size smaller?" Korsa asked.

"By how much?"

"Thirty-three percent. The replicate is for someone much smaller than me," Korsa explained.

"Oh? A certain black-skinned lady I presume?" Jaesa snickered.

"No, but for someone else. Someone who needs something... more than she has to work with," Korsa explained.

"I can do it, but it will take an extra two hours to complete. Creating such fine components takes time to produce correctly," Jaesa stated.

"That's all right. I'm perfectly fine with waiting. It's actually a lot faster than I thought possible, so as long as the quality matches, then I have no issue with it," Korsa said.

"Speaking of which, I have already devised several improvements to the design and its programming. Have a look at what I've come up with as possibilities and ask em to apply them if you wish," Jaesa told the big woman.

Korsa was having a quick look through the suggestions Jaesa had listed, when a pinging noise caught her attention. It was the test results, finally coming back from their computer analysis and Korsa was eager to see them. She stepped away from the toy suggestions and brought up the results, which left her wide eyed in disbelief.

"This... this is... impossible," Korsa gaped as she viewed what could only be construed as a medical miracle.

"Doctor... I would be inclined to agree!" Jaesa stated, the AI truly surprised for the first time since her creation.

******************************

And that's where this chapter wraps up for now! What exactly did Korsa find? What has both her and Jaesa in such a state that cause them to think of the impossible becoming possible? What will happen between Shazza and Natalya, now that they're lovers? Those answers and more, will arrive with next few chapters!
