Number One Dungeon Supplier-Novel

"I actually wanted to save this for the real emergency such as the situation we were in, where all the Mechanoids were closing onto us," Yinn said as she lowered her combat backpack and unveil a red metal box.

"What's this?"

"It is an instant 3D printer. Creating anything you in an instant. You just need to know the code of the item that you want to create which I believe the tactical system would have a catalogue for it."The source of this content is No(v)elFire.net

"Anything? No size limitation?"

"Obviously for its size, there is. I was thinking of creating like a bunch of grenade launchers so we can have a slight advantage against the rebel Mechanoids but that series of explosions had literally blew my mind about it."

"So, it depends on how much erm material this 3D printer has?"

"Yes, and the battery life plays a part as well. Erm, there are other factors such as speed of creating the item do play a part in its lifespan but since we are not in a rush, the 3D printer should be able to create a large enough drill with a battery pack installed as well. We need to spend a bit of time but this way, we would have enough power to break the debris blocking the door."

"Otherwise, creating it too quickly would cause it to have a shorter time duration?"

"Obviously since the drill is battery operated unless you have a working power socket lying around the area. We do not know how much the artillery had destroyed the stuff in the Church so it is not advisable to run around testing whether the power socket can be used. And what do we do about the wiring?" Yinn said so sarcastically that Jin gave up and let Yinn operate the 3D printer.

To his surprise, the 3D printer was not the compact machine that he expected, instead it was just a black cube with a holographic console. Once Yinn press the sides, an expanded holographic console emerged out of it and Yinn typed the serial number code based on the records within the Tactical System. This caused the black cube to whiz a little before expanding rapidly to turn into little flying cubes that were spinning around a stationary square base.

Then it started to whirl around the square base and started to pour material onto it, creating the outline of the electric power drill that they were about to use. It was quite a beautiful sight even though it felt like logic does not make sense in Jin's mind. There were no mechanical parts for its battery nor a supply tank for the material to create it. Yet, those flying black cubes were pouring out material with precision which made Jin feel like this was totally magical.

But as time passes, it seems like the situation underground revolves as well, it was past five minutes after the initial scan that Jin found out that there was another unidentified presence popping into his radar.

"No movement on my end," Diaz reported

"No movement as well." Tellie providing long overwatch said the same thing too.

"I could not detect any rebels along the way too." Click added as well and Yinn concluded that they might have a 3D printer machine underground. But instead of the portable one that they were using right now, it could be the type that major Mechanoid manufacturer uses.

"LT, can your scan be comprised of heat or electrical signatures?" Yinn queried and Jin said that he had to give it a try.

"Give it a try?" Yinn asked as if not understanding his words. "Do you mean that you did not turn on the electrical and heat signature options?" She asked but Jin merely kept quiet and started to tweak his Maqi to not sense humans and Mechanoids but purely the flow of heat and electricity. It was similar to how he sensed humans and Mechanoids yet the workings of his aura sensing must change since he based it more on movements.

By sensing the flow of heat and electricity, he could get a rough silhouette of the humans as well but the signals from mechanoids were even more definite. Not just that, he was detecting a huge electrical flow going through the underground basement and Jin transmitted the information to the Grey Bears.

"I saw a few warehouses a few hundred metres away from the church. It's highly likely that the generators are there."  Tellie said as she predicted the flow to that area.

"I will go take a look," Diaz said as she was eager to get out of guarding the church but Jin stopped her.

"Click. You go instead. I want you to disable the generators. If those people we rescued are indeed villagers, the generators will help them out." Jin said but Diaz showed a disappointed expression.

"You destroyed their houses and their place of worship and now you wished to limit the damage. A little hypocritical?"

"That's why I am limiting the damage but you reminded me that the warehouse might be guarded. So, Diaz moves out with Click just in case there are rebels around." Jin commanded and that made Diaz delighted for his change of heart.

"Are we going to time our entrance with the shutdown of the generators?" Yinn asked but Jin shook his head.

"The creation of the drill and removal of debris will create noise and cause them to panic. They might even hide behind the entrance to storm out for a desperate last attack. I rather we shut down the generators fast so they do not create any more Mechanoids. " Jin said while telling them one more bad news

"The group of 'people' that were being held up are not the villagers. I found distinct electrical signatures in all of them." Jin said and somehow that put Diaz and Click's movement to a halt.

​ "Then why are we bothering to break open the basement? Just let them suffer inside. Or we could just blow them all up."

"Because there of this," Jin said as he pulled up the tactical system and circled three heat signatures at one corner of the basement.

"Those three are humans."
