Path crossroad reached. Choose one:

Pilot: heightened control over flying vessels

Maverick: improve control of land vehicles and small weapons

She frowned as she considered her options. Maverick appealed to her sense of self-preservation and the desire to better protect herself and her friends, but Pilot would grant her better control over Unity. She considered the possibilities and sighed as she came to a conclusion. As a Navigator, her combat prowess would be lacking compared to those who had a purely combat Path. Her role was to pilot the ship. She was the only person capable of doing that. Since the Calamity had struck, she was more focused on survival and immediate needs, but their current situation forced her to consider her future. And from that perspective, Pilot was the obvious choice. She made her selection.

She smiled bitterly as she thought how Bulco would get two points for a single level up. Even compared to the two ex-students, she was at a disadvantage. The Tec extracted from the excavator had raised her to level five, but the other two were already well on their way toward level six. Still, she had no regrets. For better or for worse, her actions led her all this way, and she was not the type of person to second-guess herself every step of the way.

She considered her attributes. Agility and Control were both the primary attributes for a Navigator and both had four points. Awareness and Intelligence were her secondary, each set at two. Nori pondered the issue for a moment and put the extra points in Intelligence. It never hurt to be smarter, and it would be handy in case she’d want to use an advanced implant like Lana’s.

She nodded to herself in satisfaction and went to bed.

Bulco frowned deeply as he viewed his options.

Level 5 reached

Path crossroad reached. Choose one:

Augineer: specialize in personal augmentation technologies

AstroTec: better control and data feedback when working on spacecrafts

The system didn’t make it easy for him. He could envision himself as an Augineer, building more powerful fighting tools like his Puncher, coating himself with a devastating array of personal and integrated weapons.

Like that hero in those movies that had all sort of iron tools … what was his name? Metalman? Nah, that’s stupid.

He shook his head and focused on the other option. AstroTec. He was part of a crew now and that was the best option for him to help the team.
