Chapter 2945 Split My Poor Little Pussy:>107

Once more my bubble was carried along by the A.I. but this time to what appeared to be the center of the ship. It was here that I was shown the power that moved this beast and allowed it to travel at such fantastic speeds. The massive crystalline structure must have measured thousands of feet across. My bubble had been darkened to keep from blinding me. The power core of the ship was in fact a carefully controlled dimensional rift to a plane occupied by vast amounts of energy. The Progenitors discovered the dimension by accident and have been tapping into it for billions of years. It appeared to be limitless. Perhaps it was a universe unborn or the remnant of one that had lived out its entire existence and collapsed into a cohesive singularity. Even the Progenitors hadn't discovered the ultimate secret of this pocket dimension. Maybe they didn't want to. Maybe they wanted to keep some mysteries left. That I could understand. What was the point in a universe with nothing left to learn? The next chamber was one of the several control modules that governed the ship. The A.I. told me they acted independent of each other. How they functioned properly was a mystery to me. If there wasn't a central control what kept these nodes from sending conflicting orders to the ship? It must work somehow and quite well. The room consisted of a series of concentric spheres that were interconnected with the ship's nervous system. It was as much alive as I was. It was governed by a vastly different and superior intelligence and that is something I could admire. The bundles of compacted artificial neurons worked at speeds that humans could only dream of. It was its ability to react to external stimuli that had saved the ship from the Thanatons. I hoped that one day I might be able to unlock that same speed to save the J'Nai from the Eater of Souls. I was going to need every edge I could muster.
