A dragon devouring faeries (TOME 15 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)

Mutations

I did my morning inspection and headed to my hot room, near the lava lake.

In the back was the screen with Cabal overseeing all my operations.

"What's the situation, Cabal? What's the status of the Hyperloop?"

A grid appeared.

"We don't have enough electrical cables. We need 50 km of multi-stranded control wires with shielding and large sections for the hyperthrusters.

We're short on piping, bi-cone fittings. Not to mention terminal rails and crimping terminals and end caps.

The military reserve is exhausted."

Cabal, what about fuel?

"Wisdom tells us that solid fuel should be stored in several parts in different locations, it is unstable and should only be activated for a backup takeoff."

"What about our resources?"

"The lava gives us a surplus of energy that we could harness. But we're short hundreds of tons of steel..."

When would we be ready?

"At this rate, it would take 500 to 900 years...taking into account degradation and maintenance.."

I pounded my fist into the lava I was bathing in.

SHIT. I'm alone in the world and I'm stuck....

"Cabal, can't we increase the number of robots?"

The machine began to calculate..

"We have to reallocate the production of chips but a lot of know-how is lost and is not in my database. The servers should be reactivated, after repair, in the former Silicon valley but the area is occupied by the elves"

"What is the situation?"

"The satellite antenna is ready, we have recovered enough recycled Radome"

"And the Vulcan cannon?"

"Ready and operational! "

"No magic?"

"No, the Athena project couldn't be finished in time but we managed, we added a runic sword of ancient earth magic..."

I raged...

"How long before they arrive?"

"A year at most..."

"Shit, they're going to get pulverized..."

Cabal: "We need to reactivate the satellites still in orbit... "

"Can the Runic computer control the launcher?"

Cabal: "Yes, but you know that only you can generate the mana and create the crystal... we will take care of the rest.

Only one image came to mind, Waspi...

I got out of my lava bath and the glowing liquid flowed along my scales and it felt great. I was fully recharged.

Then, I went up the inclined plane on my 4 legs although I could very well stand on 2, with the tail as a balance but it was more comfortable and faster and especially less tiring.

On the upper floors, I saw Waspi and asked him to follow me

"Yes, master."

"Waspi, do you want to know why the fairies were discriminating against you? "

She didn't know what to answer, my knowledge surpassing hers in ways she couldn't imagine.

"You are basically a mutant, a mix between Wasp and Praying Mantis. Humans have been researching gamma ray resistant beings and unfortunately it was a failure. Only scorpions were resistant, but you were and Tyrant's magic included you in his cycle of reincarnation by the lunar dew....source of life for fairies and most of the creatures of this world.
