Chapter 1480 Package Ten

Even as Rocky had promised Jin that he would meet with the Chief Programmer Ping soon enough, the first agenda now was to check whether the maintenance on the Grey Bear Squad was okay. It was fine and dandy that they had future plans out but right now, they need to collect some decent achievements in order for Archduke Dyke to give an excuse to promote Jin to a General or at the very least, a Colonel so that they could proceed with their plan apace.

But just as Jin reached the maintenance bay of the Police station accompanied by Rocky, it seems like the Archduke wasted no time by first promoting Jin to Captain (CPT). A rank which would have taken even the most seasoned commanders a few years to reach that rank if they were merely a LT. "An official letter would be given to you soon, but for now use this promotion letter as leverage when talking to people. You should be allocated a bigger apartment in the next few days." Raymond stated in his email as the increase in rank does have its perks.

At the moment, they were being housed in an Inn where accommodation requires points or gold bars to maintain their flat but with the new rank, Jin and the rest of the Grey Bear Squad would no doubt be able to live in a much more comfortable apartment and have better storage solutions. This is because most of their weapons and armour could not be brought into the inn and had to be deposited in an armoury that was conveniently situated right beside the Inn. Everything costs points unless you climb up the ranks.

Thus, the promotion to CPT was a well received reward.

When they reached the maintenance bay, Rocky's workers were already close to finishing the usual fine tunes after archiving the combat logs and records that was needed to be investigated. However, Rocky decided to stop them and told them that those War Maidens would be receiving Package Ten.

"Sir, you sure? Package Ten is for Majors and above. There is no possible way an LT would be allowed such a fine tuning Package. Even the most decorated captain would need exemption before attaining Package Ten." One of Rocky's engineers replied and yet Rocky nodded his head.

"He is now a Captain. Archduke Dyke had promised him a fast promotion track to Major. So I see no harm adding Package Ten right now. Besides, it's in our mobile inventory for god knows how long. We can finally get rid of it to this guy here and placed better Packages there." Rocky said and his engineers merely stared among themselves and shrugged. It's after all the Assistant Chief Engineer that gave the command with the backing of the Archduke, there was no need to question such an order.

Besides, Rocky was not wrong as that freaking Package had been collecting dust in their mobile inventory and they could not deposit it on any bases because it was the Archduke's personal property. It was in case his bodyguards needed emergency repairs and fine tuning, but by the time Package Ten arrived, Kurt and Lark had already been promoted to Colonel and above, causing the Package Ten to be obsolete. Initially, the maintenance team thought that the Archduke would hire another bodyguard and did not throw it away but as time go by, it became the biggest white elephant that existed within their mobile inventory that they had no qualm allowing Rocky's orders to go through.

The only sucky thing was that they had to reopen everything and install Package Ten as per their Assistant Chief Engineer's orders. They were guessing that Jin had indeed impressed Rocky and the Archduke for allowing him to jump two ranks and be promoted as Captain. Oh, how they wished what kind of Virtual Space Jin had created that could leave such a deep impression in their hearts and minds.

"What's Package Ten?"<.com>

"You could say it's an extreme overhaul upgrade that would make your War Maidens function better than normal Mechanoids. It is also the first entry of Packages that helps to increase your War Maidens' capabilities. For example, they now have an inbuilt holster where they could keep a pistol at their femur, allowing them to hide one sidearm which could be used for emergencies. And as you can expect, when you have a lower number Package version, more holsters are available... if you want."

"Sounds like a Robot Police, just a more extreme version of it" Jin thought to himself, grinning to himself. "Wait, so there are no customised Mechanoids out there? I thought Kurt and Lark were customised."

"If you do not have the rank, technically, you are not allowed to customise your War Maidens. But illegal modifications are hard to catch and regulate so there are a lot out there who did backalley modifications. The only problem is that it will reduce the War Maiden lifespan or cause unknown complications to it if not done correctly." Rocky explained. "Oh, and they cannot participate in tournaments because of the strict inspections."

"Tournaments?" Jin asked which piqued his interest a lot.

"Yes, the Empire usually conducts annual tourneys to get people to compete with each other and later the champions would be sent to the international ones. This is to allow commanders to nto only gain experience but also recognition by other nobles so that they could either earn their favour and join their family or take the opportunity to earn a few combat medals which could allow one to be promoted to a higher rank as well."

"Who hosted these competitions? Usually, it's one of the dukes that organised them... Wait a minute." Rocky now understood where the conversation was going.

"Aye. You are finally on my wavelength. Why not we get the Archduke to organise this year's if it's not done yet? Well, I sincerely hope it's not started yet."

"Aye Aye! Its due in a half a year's time but why didn't he think of that? With your Virtual -erm I mean your Dimensional Instance, that would be one hell of a sporting event, especially when the tourney is always a sure must for every commander. I do not think it's an issue if he host it sooner for an irregular tourney. after all, he is the Archduke and people know that if he was the one hosting it, every commander got to match his time!" Rocky was elated for his new master and so was Jin.

"Looks like this Synthesis World is going to be a busy place to be in."
