Finding Purpose In The Multiverse: Meta Essence Quest Mode

Itching For Etna

(I do have a question for all of you, and be honest: is the pacing of this too slow? I try to give time to give a decent amount of the characters some spotlight. It is somewhat difficult as I've spent a lot of time just thinking about how to include each character, but with my main character being so powerful, it's hard to do so.)

Linus Ozias POV:

A new day with the sun shining and the birds singing. Nothing can disrupt this peace of mine. Which is immediately ruined as a figure bursts into the room with all of us eating.

"UMMMMMMMUUUU! Good day, my viceroys. Arise, it is time to begin today's objective." Nero says as she enters like the Kool-Aid man to which I repair the wall.

I say, "May I ask what today's objective is and Empress Nero?" The Empress then says, "We must head to Gaul as I have heard word of one of the generals of the United Roman Empire, Julius Caesar."

Mash then asks, "Caesar, as in the Caesar?" Nero nods and says, "Umu." Ritsuka then asks, "So what you're saying is that we have to go to Caesar, find Caesar, and conquer Cesar, yes?"

Nero seems a bit confused by the wording but nods nonetheless as I ask, "How are we supposed to get there exactly?" Nero then sighs and says, "Sadly, we must ride there and also walk." Romani then says [ We also need to establish a connection to the leyline at Mount Etna. To keep the connection with all of you.]

Nero then asks, "Do you all carry an invisible attendant? I can hear him, but I cannot see him." Romani then says [ It is a form of long-distance communication magic, Empress Nero.] Nero nods and says, "So what you're saying is that I can contact people from hundreds of miles away? Amazing umu!"

We chuckle as I explain, "Worry not though, Empress as we have other means of transportation." I can physically see the question mark appear as everyone looks at me in confusion.

I then directed everyone outside and placed an abounded field over the large backyard, and as Ritsuka asks, "Oz, there is nothing there."

I then say, "Observe." The stealth tech then disengages, and what can be seen is a copy of the Millennium Falcon, which causes Ritsuka to immediately run up to me and ask, "Can I drive it?"

I shake my head and say, "Of course, you can drive it once you finish the multi-day training program, as well as read all the individual manuals and then have me test your skills."

Her shoulders drop as she then asks, "Does it have the holographic chess table?" I nod, and as the ramp lowers, Nero asks, flabbergasted "What manner of sorcery is this? "I smile and say, "How do you think we made it all the way to Rome? This is the future Empress, and besides, are you not one that enjoys traveling and living in style?"

Nero then nods and says, "Of course, as the Empress of Rome, I must always lavish myself in the finest of luxuries to prove the success of my Empire." I then beckon them all inside, and as Nero, Mash, Fou, and I enter the cockpit with the servants in the main area, I begin the take-off process.

To many, it may seem like I am simply flicking dials and pressing buttons, but I am actually adjusting the ship's output and how much force and thrust is required for the ability to fly without destroying the surroundings. I then say, "Hold on to your seats, and please do not touch anything."

As I say this, Ritsuka was about to press the hyperdrive button, and she chuckled and removed her hand while the ship took off. We traveled south toward Etna to establish a connection to the leyline should we need supplies sent from Chaldea. I then say over the PA, "We are now flying towards Mount Etna. Current ETA: 45 minutes. Please feel free to move about the ship, but Artoria, please do not eat all of the food."
