Solider of Krypton #2 - Brainiac
As I exited the data core having made the necessary alterations needed to match my story to Kal-El I planned to begin training to refine the raw abilities that this planet gives me. Sadly, with this ship having just escaped the final battle of Krypton, most of its assets had been stripped, including all the training drones used to help refine the talents of young recruits. No good having them in a battle if they can’t aim or a fire the gun.
Fortunately Brainiac offered a solution.
“General.”
“Yes Brainiac?”
“I believe I have a solution to your lack of training drones problem.”
“What might that be?”
“A ship of this class always comes with a navigator-class droid body for the Brainiac unit to help co-ordinate all ship movements in the event of the crew becoming incapacitated. If you were to transfer my program into the navigator body I would be able to operate the body and you would thus be allowed to practice combat against me.”
“That sounds like a good idea Brainiac. But won't this affect the ships functions if I transfer you into this body and out of the mainframe?”
“Ships functions shall not be hampered. The unit shall have direct control over ship functions despite not being in the ship mainframe itself, allowing remote control over the ship even if the unit is not present onboard. ”
“Good. You may proceed.”
“Affirmative sir”
There was a brief surge in the ships power as, I presume, Brainiac carried out the process he had spoken of. With in a few moments out from behind the door to the ships Mainframe walked this robotic body, this must be the body Brainiac talked about.
“Brainiac?”>
“Affirmative.”
“Did it work?”
“All systems in this unit are operating at 98.27% efficiency. Not the level of efficiency I would desire but well above acceptable standards, I shall endeavor to correct these issues at a later date.”
“Do you still have Kal-El’s signal?”
“Affirmative, the ship is still tracking Kal-El’s signal.”
“Good. Be sure you that you keep track of him, and keep me posted of any developments. Now, I need you to create an emergency program to activate at a moments notice once we’re outside.”
“What program would that be Sir?”
“Once given the command you will instantly attach the hazard armor to me, regardless of the current situation.”
“Affirmative. Program created. Did you desire to have this program created in order to stop the unknown abilities your species acquires on exposure to this Planet from overwhelming you?”
“That is correct Brainiac.”
“Affirmative Sir. Do you wish to begin a training programme?"
“Yes Brainiac. Run programme five and open the bay doors."
"Yes General."
No sooner had he spoken those words that the bay doors began to open revealing the bright light that must be this Planet's sun shining on a white coloured ground. As the light of the sun shined on me, I felt a painful sensation in my eyes as if they were getting hotter, and hotter. It seems that I was acquiring the powers that I had previously when I first stepped out of the ship.
The pain of the heat in my eyes was excruciating but I had combat it. Kal-El has not been overpowered by these new abilities so clearly he has mastered them, and if a cowards son can achieve mastery of such phenomenal gifts then one of Kryptons finest Generals could as well. With this I stepped out of the ship and the door sealed itself behind me.
