The Spine
"No that's it exactly. It runs along the top center of the entire ship. To be honest, this is one of the largest areas that is actually relatively close to the outer hull. Excluding Hangar Bays and viewing decks, of course." He gazed upward at the bare systems above them. "But there's only a few meters of metal and mechanized systems between us and the void of space here." As they walked there came an intersection. "Now, if this passage is called the spine, you could call those passages one of the ribs of the ship. Now a bit further is some of the main turrets. Even further we would come to a passage that leads down to the Heart of the ship, the Aura Core. These passages are the only secondary means of reaching the Heart."

"Granted, you may proceed to leave the Fleet." A Hangar management officer responded. "Say, weren't you the one that sought shelter from some rogues? If you wanted, we could have a drone escort you to your destination."

Zephyr-Old Continents-Hajime's Crash Site
"Questions, questions, and more questions! No time to explain! Things are about to get exciting and I don't want to miss the show! C'mon now!" The man jumped off the ledge into the opening of a tunnel. By the time Hajime reached the ledge, He disappeared into the darkness. "Oi...it's darker in here than I had anticipated. Tsk...this is troublesome as always..." The man's voice echoed upward.

Inopia - Temple of the Lost
As soon as Nhiome drew Arke from the scabbard, energy suddenly surged up his arm and into his body, as though viciously attacking him. He found himself unable to let go of the sword.
"It is not time yet. It is not time for you to face my final test. Find the light in the darkness, and bring the girl there. Put down the sword. It is not time yet." The voice of a girl rang in his ears as the energy seemed to intensify. The feeling that prevented him from letting go disappeared.

Main Observation Deck
John followed the officer down to the training area while Cortana waited in the observation deck. Cortana wanted to go, but she knew that she still needed to get used to her body before she could do anything physically strenuous. She still had yet to get used to the breeze from the ship's ventilation ducts, the clothes she was wearing, and the sensation of being alive. No, she would probably try later, maybe even quickly program her own simulation and complete it.
As John followed the officer he began to recall many of his previous battles, and the tactics he used in each of them. John would switch his tactics, depending on the amount of resistance he faced. That being said, he rarely had to switch to defensive tactics. Usually, the reason he would switch to defensive tactics was because he was bogged down by tanks. Other than that, John never really worried about the opposition.

"Aura core? Sounds interesting. Can we see it?" Mima asked. "If allowed, of course."
"I'll be fine, but thank you for the offer. I made some modifications to combat them in case they came back." Nova said as the hangar door opened and she flew out, the door closing behind her ship as she flew off into the distance.

Black Market
The Reaper made it's way to the large booth in the center of the market, coming up to the short man from before.
"Well, I'll be damned you bloody git, you actually came back alive?" the man asked.
The Reaper showed off Selarious's pistol it took from him, putting it on the counter. "I took a trophy."
The man examined the weapon. "Well, I'll be, a Brakk hand-cannon. These things are highly sought after. Only seen one or two. Blow the front half 0of someone off from a short distance. One of the few efficient weapons that still use bullets. shotgun pistol, essentially." the man noticed he was rambling. "Oh, the bounty, yeah, you got it."
The man handed back the pistol and added the bounty to the Reaper's personal bank account. The Reaper nodded in thanks and turned, returning back to his ship.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

Zephyr-Old Continents-Unknown Cave
Hajime continued to follow the strange man into a relatively large tunnel system. As Hajime proceeded through the cave system he noticed that it got darker and darker until the point where Hajime was unable to see anything. That's when he sighed and rolled up his sleeves. If one could see him they would see many large scars across his arms. "I need to light things up a bit." He said as he focused for a couple of seconds. In an instant the scars on his body flashed a bright blue in color. Once this flash of light happened the light seemed to echo and bounce off many strange crystals that line the cave walls and ceilings. Hajime did not expect this turn of events as the entire cave literally lit up in an icy blue color thanks to the crystals that absorbed his energy, and as such he was blinded by the sudden bright light of the cave. Thankfully it only took his eyes to readjust to the bright icy blue light. "Damn I should have saw that coming..." He exclaimed as he takes a few deep breaths.

"Sure sure, It's just this way..." Nero guided Mima to one of the Rib intersections and went to a corner with a ladder that went down a narrow shaft. From there it was a room with a door that led to a main sealed passage which seemed almost a sterile room with sentinel drones floating in the ceiling area and wall of energy barriers which were multiple barriers stacked up.

"Oh yeah...that's right...your a bioroid of sorts. Hmm...interesting...normally being able to do that is reserved by the Mortal Gods and Vatians. Oh and a few people with Aurora's Curse, but its rare to be able to actually control that...Anyway, a bit further now. Come along!" the man was standing on another ledge and jumped down again.

Hajime just sighed and rolled his eyes as he kept following the man, jumping down from ledge to ledge. Trying his hardest to keep up with the strange man he looked down. "You know... I would ask more questions, but I don't think I will get a decent answer out of you. At least tell me one thing... who the hell are you, and where are you taking me?" He said as he kept trying to follow the man.

Mara started walking towards the office when she noticed Cortana stopping and not coming "Still getting used to your body don´t you?" she asked knowing the feeling
"At first you will feel everything like if it was a mirage or a wonder, but by practicing, you get acustomed with it, the pain on the other hand will be a hell in the first times you get injured, but again, practicing will regulate your nerves to a comfortable level." the bioroid explained for a bit and then had an idea
"Maybe we can start a simulation to test your abilities and know your limits, that is if you want to though" Mara offered to the AI

Cortana looked over to Mara and quickly thought about it. For a normal person, it would have taken a couple seconds to think about, but for Cortana, it took a single instant, almost as if she hadn't thought at all.
"Okay, as long as it's not the kind of simulations they're doing. I still have to get the basics down.", Cortana said to Mara.

Mara nodded "ok then, Im sure they will let us have a simulation like that, their injured men and women have had a rehabilitation test for their recovery" she said ti the blue eyed woman
Walking to the office, the white haired asked to the person in charge "Excuse me, can we have a simulation to test my friend's abilities and limits?"
