Chapter 5

Dalton wasn't sure how long he stood there.

The shock was enough that his emotional dampening was working overtime to try and calm him down. It definitely took a bit of time while the Doctor spoke over some rather unimportant drivel. When he finally recovered, the two of them had talked a bit longer. Not much else was very important. Other than that he'd start training very soon in order to become stronger. He was left to his own devices.

His own devices being - a communication scouter being given to him and Dalton being escorted back to his own room.

Dalton sat on the edge of his new bed thinking over what he had just learned. He looked at his hands, frowning. "On one hand, this is rather cool. On the other, I'm in a world where people can fart once and blow up a planet like it's literally nothing." He ran a hand through his hair, and touched his rather large horns. "I'm in an entirely different body...does this mean I got some sort of powers? How do I..." He trails off, looking at his own body. Right, his brain had some sort of 'system' in place. What was it? He might as well start there. "System?"

[System Online. What would you like to do, Genesis?]

No voice, just text filling his vision in a non-obtrusive way. If he didn't focus on the text, he would see it in the corner of his enhanced vision. "System, what can you do for me?" 

[Releasing 'User Manual'...]

Dalton's brain was suddenly assaulted with a flash of information in a single second. He didn't know, but now he knew. The 'System' was more or less an extension of his body. It was a library of information about the world around him. A scanning device that focused upon the things he can see and later sense with Ki. It's primary function was to help him visualize his body down to the smallest atom. To observe his growth and offer help in growth. There were several other functions, like changing text color or even controlling his bodily senses through the System. Quite frankly, there's so much the system could do for him it'd be impossible to talk about all in one sitting.

He was reminded that the Doctor said his body would tell him about himself so...

"System, show me...myself."
