A Monster in Hell: A 40K Story

Chapter-7

[SYSTEM ACTIVATED]

[CHOOSE REWARD UNIVERSE: A. HALO TECHNOLOGY B. STAR WARS TECHNOLOGY C. MASS EFFECT TECHNOLOGY]

So there was a system after all? Why now? Anyway... I had to figure that out later. I chose Star Wars technology: I knew most of the shiny shit from there, so it would be easier to work with. 

[LEVEL ONE ACHIEVED]

[TECHNOLOGY ACQUIRED LEVEL ONE: BLASTERS, BODY ARMOR, SPEEDERS, MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY. ALL WILL BE RECIEVED BY WAY OF STCS. FIRST LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGY ARE NOT SO POWERFUL, BUT CHEAPER AND MORE NUMEROUS. CLICK 'REWARD PANEL' TO SEE ALL REWARDS]

Well... fine. The thing was: first levels of Star Wars technology would be cheap and would likely at least set a minimum standard for the PDF, who had to fight with sticks and stones on some planets. I clicked the Reward Panel to find out what I would be getting in later levels.

[LEVEL TWO: BIONICS, HOLOCOMM SYSTEMS]

[LEVEL THREE: CLONE TROOPER TECHNOLOGY, DEATH TROOPER SUPER-SERUMS, ASTROMECH DROIDS, B-1 DROIDS, HUMAN-CYBORG RELATIONS DROIDS]

[LEVEL NINE: X-WING, Y-WING, TIE FIGHTER, TIE BOMBER, U-WING, B-WING, A-WING, TIE DEFENDER, TIE AVENGER, TIE PHANTOM]

[LEVEL TEN: FRIGATES, CORVETTES, GRAVITIC POLARIZATION BEAMS]

[LEVEL ELEVEN: CRUISERS, STAR DESTROYERS, STARFLASH]

[LEVEL NINETEEN: MASS SHADOW GENERATOR, GALAXY GUN, HYPERSPACE NULLIFIER]

[LEVEL TWENTY: SUN RAZER, PETRIFIER]

[LEVEL TWENTY ONE: FERMATA CAGE, CENTERPOINT STATION]

[LEVEL TWENTY TWO: STAR FORGE]

This was an enormous array of weapons! Things like the Star Forge, Sun Razer and World Devastator could produce armies, the Fermata Cage could warp space-time-reality, and the Centerpoint Station could move shit around. By the time I reached Level Ten a formidable army would be forged for the Imperium, and after that it would be just more and more overpowered superweapons.
