A Shrouded Dawn (Warhammer/Stellaris)

You could feel your body becoming more solid as time passed, you had limited yourself for the first month vastly, to ensure that you would become better suited to this realm. Perhaps, your lower limits was the heights of humanity, but for you it was a vast reduction of capabilities. You knew full well that you could go without rest, without food or water for weeks at a time, you were nowhere so limited as the humans around you.

Perhaps, one of those that live in the depths of Olynn would be your equal through some flip of the cosmic dice, or by His will. But until you could find them, you would assume that you were the single most robust human on the station, although you turn to look upon the small body of Syra.

Her body was small for her age, only a little over a meter in height, with limited muscle mass for her size. She appeared much younger than her eight years of age would imply, but she hadn't moved for the last few hours once you moved her soul into your Demi-realm, save for speaking of peace and silence that disturbed you on some level.

Beyond her obvious lack of size, there was nothing wrong with her body to your sight. Her skin and scales were clean, although the feathers that were mixed into her hair were a bit crooked at the roots of their formation. With a flicker of power, you realign the roots of the feathers to allow them to properly grow into place, and a rough scan of her genetics shows a few inheritable issues for any children she might have and with a flicker of will they are removed and fixed as you do the same for the other five children around you.

Beyond those small issues, there was nothing wrong with the children beyond the general lack of nutrition they had been living with. Another simple thing to fix as you use your powers to collapse time for a moment to retroactively shift the past to ensure that the lower depths of the station would have had enough food to supply all inside. Another simple matter completed to your satisfaction as you nodded as their bodies shifted growing larger and thicker with flesh.

Perhaps someone might claim that altering the past might lead to issues in time, but you knew that such was a lie for the Shroud provides for you all the options you would need. For such a simple thing you drew upon a part of the shroud that touched all but lacked any concept of linear time, thus it was but a moment's effort to reach through the lens of the past to shift what you wished. Unfortunately, to your irritation the shard of the Shroud lacked the power enough to bend time backwards for more than a handful of years from the present, which made you unable to truly correct the problem at hand.

With the children now feed properly, you turned towards a different source of irritation that plagued you, namely your mother's actions in the past. Although part of you wished to restore what she had so cruelly removed, you knew enough about her that she would probably just redo the event once more with even greater pain for all involved. Before you would undo anything of hers, you would first force her to accept your right to do so and speak with her, for you knew enough to know that everyone is the hero of their own tale.

No human would ever make of themselves the villain, even the worst of the monsters would have a logic behind their actions that would make sense to themselves. Before you would act you would know her logic and by extension her mind and how she would react, you had been burned once already for not learning the full picture and you saw no reason to invite another such lesson so soon.

Beyond your mother and her attending issues, the Heat Conversion system was a bane on your efforts. You knew full well that the system could fail within the year and if it went fully offline there was little you could do to restore any level of functionally to it before the entire station burned to ash. It was a primary issue and as such would be started superseding all other possible considerations, it would be the primary focus of your efforts to come in the next eleven months of the year. In conjunction with it you would continue your research into fusion and how to properly contain the power source, already you could hypothesize methods by which you could repair fusion reactors, but the issue at hand was that none of the power systems of Olynn were pure fusion. The closest was the back up system that was a form of cold fusion, that bore similarities in the principles behind fusion itself, but was distinct in its own way as well and as such fusion would need to be completed first.

However, thankfully the Emperor smiled when He provided the ASDC to you and with them you could begin study of the conversion field systems in earnest now and not have to wait, however as your mind turned towards the map of the station you could see hidden echos of places in the walls, making you wonder if there was more to be found in the walls of Olynn.
