In this new dangerous reality of mine [Burn]s importance as a life preservihod could not be overstated. If I ever got in a situation were I had to trade damage with a vastly superior foe this could make me entirely unkilble for a short span of time. If I had one issue with this new set of powers it was that I didn't have enough information to go off of. Like I obviously wouldn't turn into a freakish monster from colleg traits sihat would have defeated the purpose of creating the powers.-

  But at the same time the details were a little ent on what would happen when I stole traits for myself. There was much more than that too as I wasn't sure how I'd know what traits something had or even if I had enough lifeforce to get said trait. There was a lot of information missing to give this powerset well defiructure but I froze when I had a thought, a VERY possible theory.-

  'What if this powerset DOESN'T have limits? That being said it was top shelf and I asked for something with infiential and this certainly qualifies. I just didn't think that it would be so vague.' I thought with a headache.

  I decided to wing it and figure this shit out as I went and turned my attention to the weird chests and floating object held iraatues hands. I walking over to the odd angur statue I examihe thing in it's hands.-

  [Eridian Habitation unit

  Level: Relic

  Description: All the forts of home .... to go!]

  The object itself was this bck metallic sphere thing with this beautiful amber glowing crystal in it's ter.

  "Is that a fug pokeball!?" I blurted in shock.

  I reached out and yoihe thing off the statues hands without hesitation and with more than a little greed. I grimaced when it started to glow amber e and stiy hand even though I tried to get rid of it like a cat with tape on it's paw at first.-

  'Wait it doesn't hurt?' I froze as this thought hit me.

  Lifting my hand up to stare at the thing I saw some e bar shaped lights on the side of the ball that were slowly filling up.

  'User binding or is it recharging somehow?' I wondered curiously.

  Whatever was responsible for the creation of this thing was clearly the same thing responsible for the creation of those robots I ran into on the way to this vault as the design was very simir though clearly this sphere was way more valuable. After staring at the ball in an attempt to unlock it's secrets food five minutes I got bored and decided to ig for now and go check out these out chests at the back of the chamber. There were two kinds of chests with only one of them appealing to me aesthetically.-

  The first kind of chest was this pale white stoah two glowing green diamonds interseg carved into the lid. It was about four feet long and two feet tall but was frankly bnd as shit. You ope by hitting the lid, I'm not kidding you literally had to hit the lid for it to open. Whehings did open though I immediately decided that I was never going to judge a chest by it's cain as three items just sort of pixelized ien the two shelves of the chest.-

  The three items had three different colored fme glows much like my gun and shield did before I equipped them. I hurriedly looked them over and was surprised at what I found.

  Affix: N/A ]

  Three ons with different levels and even manufacturers. The problem? I had no idea who the fuck these manufacturers were or what their ons were about besides shooting things. I thankfully was able to figure out what awo elements were though with [Pyro] and [Explosive] showing up like this.

  'What's the the difference? Explosives tend to be fiery so like is it a local thing or is there actually something different about it?' I pondered fused.

  I didn't grab the guns though since I didn't have ao put them at the moment and moved ohe chest that was of the sed type and my personal favorite. It was this nice red color and had segments in it that split to the sides when it opened and this clearly decorative horned head sculpture thing on it's top.-

  When it opehe internal yout also proved different than the previous chest as there was a single rge shelf in the middle and two smaller shelves that unfolded up and to the sides. Once again there was guns ihe chest that maed from thin air but nothing legendary level. The same applied for the st two chests in this chamber though I did noticed that the glow despite being the same color for some of the guns was alser which I assumed meant they were the better ons.

  "BRRRRIING!" a sort of chiming sound rang out from my hand and the sphere stue fell with a "TINK!" that startled me.

  'I fot I was even holding that, Time to see what this things about then.' I thought as I picked up the sphere and started pressing and trying to twist different parts of it to figure out how the fuck it worked.

  Turns out that big obvious amber gem part was a button and o clicked the most fasating thing happened, it shot out of my hand. Defied gravity and everything as it shot through the air befoing through the portal of the vault leavianding there speechless.

  "Get the fuck back here!" I roared angrily thinking my loot was making a break for it.

  In hindsight not my fi moment but to be fair I had no idea how this alien tech worked at the time. Anyways I left the vault and immediately my new powers went haywire as it was suddenly like a very annoying voice screaming in my head to take the lifeforce of the giant monster corpse and that it had some great traits. That shit was disorienting as all get out since I wasn't expeg it but I mao stuff that new instinct down to a manageable level.-

  Ohat was done I was surprised to see a small bck metallic archway with a familiar amber button at the top not far from the vaults still open portal that looked like a mini vault.

  'Is that what the ball turned into?' I wondered in surprise.

  Shrugging I didn't hesitate to walk right into the portal to see what with that whole thing. What I discovered was amazing on so many levels I had a hard time processing it.-

  To start I suppose I should crify that the inside of this mini-vault was aire building that was easily able to house a small ptoon. I as the registered owner of this whole alien smart house got this sort of tour/tutorial of the pce when I first got here which was shog as hell but super wele since learning by trial and error sucks. It had built in waste disposal rooms(bathrooms) and even running water in hot, cold and every temperature between. -

  My favorite part though had to be the alien food maker thingy in the rgest room that was a big amber orb thing on a metal stick lever that you grabbed and thought of whatever food you wanted before pulling it down. Glowing e and bck alien projector beam things would then pop out from the wall and sort of 3d print whatever food you had been thinking of. A bit of a dowhough was that you couldn't e back for seds sihe food creator thing had to recharge for a whole twenty four hours even if you had it make you a single chi .-

  Kinda stupid I know but I wasn't the one who made the thing so what you do? Still if you "ordered" a bunch of fht from the start it wasn't a problem so I guess it worked out anyways. In case you were w I got a Salisbury steak with portabel mushrooms and Havarti mad cheese for my first meal, so worth it. Moving on from the food creator thing this pce had a grand total of twelve rooms with five being "purpose" rooms acc to the tour/tutorial and the rest being spare rooms that were totally empty so I could do whatever I wanted with them.-

  The five "purpose" rooms were a herbarium, a menagerie, a simucrum training space, and a spatio-transloap room but my personal favorite was the crafting/tinkering room. The first and sed of those rooms had an input menu in each particur spe tai and care unit that let you adjust the parameters to be ideal for keeping whatever you put there alive and thriving. Did I fet to mention that this entire pce looked like it was made fiants? I'm talking twenty foot ceilings and ea being rge enough to py baseball in.-

  The third room was for ck of a better description the fug matrix training room in that it created hard light ehat reacted and acted like normal enemies. I very muo abuse the shit out of this feature for the year to shore up my massive weako running and gunning with any sort of accuracy. The fourth room was g any tools but had a waist high workbench table and a matter to matter form restitution gizmo thing that destructed whatever I gave it into it's base materials and remade them into whatever I wanted of the same stuff.

  This meant while I might not have any tools or parts at the moment I could use this to make them as needed so long as I fed it the right materials and knew what the hell I needed and how it was made. Finally there was the spatio-transloap room, or the teleporter room as I like to call it. Built in motherfug fast travel for the win! In all serioushe way it worked was that I could set up my mobile home here at a spot, desighat spot as important using this room and from literally anywhere in the universe teleport the entire pce to that spot from this room.-

  Not super useful at the moment sihere was only a single pce marked as important by default and I had no idea where the fuck it was but iure, game ging. My only real gripe with this porta-home would have to be that it was almost entirely barren smooth grey stone. No furniture, tools, decorations, not a damn thing that wasn't built into the pce. Still despite that I didn't mind at all because like the description said before I grabbed it "All the forts of home ... to go!" the potential for that was there so long as I was willing to put in the effort to fit the pce out.-

  'First things first though, I o go power up from the dumb giant outside.' I thought with aed grin.
