Nikke: Goddess of Victory Novel Adaptation

[Vol. 1] Chapter 008: Simulation Room

On the train to the Simulation Room situated in Elysion's district, Anis stood before Commander who looked like he was about to wage war on the Central Government. He was furious about what had happened to Marian and wanted to dish out punishment. To show them there were consequences to their actions. But as he was right now, Commander couldn't go seeking revenge. He wasn't strong enough and he seemed to understand that. As the train rattled along its tracks and Commander sat there wallowing in his own anger, Anis couldn't help herself. She leaned closer to him, wrapped her arms around his head and brought him close, straight into her chest.

"It's gonna be okay, Commander. Just take a deep breath and calm down." Anis smiled down at him as if she were comforting her child. "Just focus on the present for now."

Commander knew she was right, that he had to sort himself out for the sake of himself and his squad. There were no ifs, ands or buts about it. He stayed there for a moment and wrapped his one working arm around Anis in return, happy to be soothed by her. Her large chest was uplifting.

A minute later he tapped her back to say he was fine now and she let go. "Thanks, Anis. I think I needed that."

"Don't mention it." She said with a cheeky grin spreading across her face. Putting her hands under her voluminous breasts and pushing up a little she continued. "Funny how they can both calm down and excite men though, huh?"

Clearing his throat, Commander looked up at her face while trying his best to not succumb to lust. It was tough considering they were bouncing around at the bottom of his vision. "Truly fascinating."

Not even five minutes later, Commander and his squad were standing before a large factory run by Elysion, a company primarily creating Nikke for the military. Elysion also had a hand in public servant positions like police and counter-terrorism due to the beliefs of the company's CEO. The train ride was a short one due to all the companies that make Nikke being in close proximity to the military's headquarters. This was because Nikke manufacturers were in constant collaboration with the military. The CEO's of Nikke manufacturers needed to be close by so they could come and go from headquarters if and when they needed to.

Before Commander and his squad was a large conglomerate of buildings of various shapes and sizes. They were all connected in some way so workers could easily move from one section to another, like from seeing the CEO in the main office to producing a Nikke in the main factory. The largest building was of course where Nikke were made, but the second largest was for equipment. Unique Nikke all filled a different role and used different types of weapons so these factories had to be able to make dozens of different guns. Each company also produced armour for their Nikke, but it was expensive to make, as well as difficult. Due to how lightweight and versatile the final result was, manufacturers created armour from nanomachines. This allowed a Nikke to summon their armour only when they needed it, and it allowed the armour to repair itself to some degree. Nikke armour was for powerful commanders with equally strong Nikke under their command. Rapi and Anis weren't in a position to have such things right now.

Off to the side, the sole building not connected to anything, was the Simulation Room. Considering testing Nikke and weapons were a must for manufacturers, each company had their own building that allowed them to test their creations. They'd even created a 'Tower' system where the simulation progressively got harder and harder, really pushing commanders and Nikke to their limit. Despite the name, it wasn't just a single room. It was more like a firing range. There were rows of simulation rooms, allowing multiple squads to practise at the same time without interfering with one another.

Just as Commander reached the Simulation Room, the double doors separated and out walked a woman dressed primarily in a white uniform that apparently couldn't contain her sizable chest. Red accented her clothes, including a red tie that ran down a grey undershirt. Her brunette hair appeared unkempt, or maybe it was just naturally wavy and it took too long to tame so she left it as it was.
