Starbound: A Space Odyssey - Chapter 173

After the Warp Jump finished, John and his crew found themselves in front of a large planet covered almost completely in water, with only small islands of land.

Orbiting the planet, there was an enormous metallic structure with uncountable spacesh.i.p.s of all classes entering and departing.

This giant spaceport was almost as big as Earth’s moon. It was indeed a marvelous sight to behold.

Right above the spaceport one could easily spot the giant logo of an ‘L’ and beneath it that formed the word LETHEIA.

It was clear to John who owned the place.

John looked at the orbital spaceport of the planet and decided to land his spaceship there as it doesn’t seem he had a choice since the entire planet was surrounded with a planetary shield that protected from spacesh.i.p.s, weapons and even teleportation.

If he wanted to beam down to the planet, he has to do it through an authorized Teleporter inside the spaceport.

John let out a long sigh as they were finally safe, “We arrived.”

Looking behind him, John saw Peri, Saito, Lenny and Forge, “Let’s dock the spaceship.” John said as he controlled his spaceship forward.

It didn’t take long before the spaceport communication tower tried to communicate with John.

After a few exchange of words, they received permission to dock their spaceship.

John rose from his seat the moment his spaceship docked in one of the hangars of the spaceport.

He went to his bedroom to get ready to leave the ship.

John closed the door behind him and started to take a few things out of his PIPS.

The few thing he took out were the pieces of a set of armor that Lenny grabbed from the soldiers he killed in the ISU’s space station. John was only interested in the less damaged set of armor and gave the others back to Lenny since most of the others were simple filled with bullet holes.

It was a simplistic black tactical armor without any mark or anything that could make one recognize its origin, and it appeared to be a light armor that prioritize movement and flexibility rather than safety.

Just like John like it.

As for the helmet, it looked more like a mask than an actual ballistic helmet. Apart from the metallic glow and the Hi-Tech visor, the helmet also had two cans, one in each side, near the mouth, which presumably indicated that it also come with protection against gas.

Seeing the bluish glint that came from the metal used on the armor and helmet, John knew that it was made of Durasteel, that means a Tier 4 armor.

It was lucky for John that the Miniknog didn’t want do be identified and made the armor without any characteristic that couldn’t be traced back to them.

John firstly took the leggings and boots of the armor and soon the stats of it showed to him.

John’s eyebrow jumped when he saw the stats presented in front of him.

[As expected of Miniknog.] John thought, [Their race has the most advanced technology in terms of weaponry and armory, and apparently they also got better in Mods and Tech Abilities…]

Done with that piece, John followed up to see the another piece.

Although there was some dents and scratches in the surface of the armor, it wasn’t that badly damaged.

Lenny gave John a few other things, but John decided to only carry a few things with him, the Durasteel Assault Rifle, the MX801S white pistol, and his Dark Wraith dagger.

After wearing the armor and getting ready, John walked out of his room.

The moment he got near the teleporter of his spaceship, he met with his crew, Lenny, Peri, Saito and Forge.

Peri was wearing a simple armor mode of wood and plants that only covered her vital organs, and she have her spear on hands.

Lenny was wearing his usual cowboy clothes with his twin revolvers in his waist and the shotgun dangling on his back.

Forge changed her outfit, and picked the one that caught less attention, only some casual clothes that used in her day offs in the space station.

Fujiwara Saito was wearing his children clothes while looking at John, Lenny and Peri with sparkling eyes as he was interested in their armors and weapons.

“Let’s go.” John mentioned to them and soon they were all inside the device.

With a blinding white light, the 5 of the disappeared from the spaceship.
