Metal Crab Rising

Row, Row, Fight The Power! - Part 1

Two weeks had passed.

And during these weeks, various things happened.

You had began to use a special smartphone formerly carried by a dead commander, which had several uses like a minimap and other stuff.

Although there was another carried by another commander that time, it self-destructed before you could eat it.

You kept the smartphone around because you didn't have anything else to do.

Plus, it has some special things on it that you could use. Like talking to Eight better than you could have done by normally writing.

Several, if not all of the Husk-class raptures evolved into Servant-Class raptures. Those same raptures's carapace became a lighter shade of blue.

With the intention of preparing to invade the power plant, you decided to recruit 20 more raptures while making sure they didn't attack your Nikke.

Some of the raptures you found were dead, and you decided to use the Tech Maintenance Pincers to see if you could revive them.

Or reboot their systems after repairing the broken parts through junk found around some junkyard.

The revived raptures immediately recognized you as their Alpha, ready to be commanded as much as you liked.

You even wondered if you could someday create your own raptures... And, looking at Eight, maybe she could become a real heretic at that time?

Anyway, you found and recruited ten more flying raptures that were named "Glitters" by everyone. You knew they were useful in the upcoming raid because of their ability to self-destruct.

Oh, how it made you curious...
It seems like time will onlysawbladesdication, too. Rapid growth is cool after all.

How about the Nikke?

They were less than cooperative, and being around raptures was making them feel uncomfortable since they were with their natural enemies.

That is, until the first week had passed since they were forced to join you as your underlings.

They're now a little more docile and used to being around 50 raptures. Even if their original personalities were still there, they agressivedy shown signs of being corrupted.

You wouldn't do anything about it, though.

Sadly, the more fragile-minded Generic Nikke has lost her personality and is almost like your puppet due to the corruption growing in her brain.

Eight put herself in charge of commanding and leading these Nikke since she had the capability to.

One of the Nikke under you even joked that she was trying to imitate a human commander, to which she let out a sigh.

"You know, you shouldn't really compare me to those idiots that learned nothing but propaganda." she replied with slight disgust, not wanting anything to do with them.

"Right. Let's get to work, scavenging as much stuff as we can get!" she commanded, and the Nikke responded accordingly.

Aside from doing scavenging tasks, the Nikke did various tasks like self-maintenance assisted by yours truly, and trying their luck to talk to raptures or go into sleep mode if they're bored enough.

They won't be able to comprehend your existence much until they start to understand you and Eight and your rather strange relationship.

Unlike Eight, they're not going to just eat rapture cores all of the sudden because they are asked to.
