Chapter 5: Vol. 1 Chapter 5 - ‘Advertisement’
/The morning after entering, the 'gold-ranks on 'Iron-Spirit', Uhtred and Ves sat at the 'dining-room. 'Breaking their morning's 'fast, with some 'bacon and sausage, and 'butter-milk biscuits. Whilst the both of them, enjoyed a 'cold-glass full of 'milk, with their 'vittles, prepared by Uhtred./

"Well what say you? To us going to 'Freslin, we can find a 'gaming-parlor, where we can 'advertise your 'virtual-mechs." I asked my brother, as we finished our 'breakfast for the day.
"Yea, that sounds good, I gotta do something. I really wish to complete my 'mission, to sell a hundred 'virtual-mechs on 'Iron-Spirit, before we leave for the 'Y-T-E, on 'Planet-Bentheim." Ves told, informing me of his wish, to have his mission 'completed, before our 'departure for 'Bentheim.
"Don't worry, when people see, me 'sweeping the competition, using one of your '1-star 'mechs. There will be many more 'claims, of me 'hacking, by the time I hit 'platinum-ranks." I told Ves, to relax, everything will go as 'needed.
"Yea you're right, I imagine there has never been a '1-star mech, 'sweeping the 'gold-ranks." Ves said, as us and Lucky, made our way out of the house, to go about our 'mission to 'advertise, the 'virtual-mechs, Ves has 'published on 'Iron-Spirit'.
/After arriving at the 'Gaming-District, Uhtred and Ves found a 'popular 'gaming-parlor, for them to 'advertise for the day at./
/Whilst Ves 'held a 'holographic-tables, showing the people nearby his 'works, Uhtred made his way to a 'gaming-cabin. Once Uhtred 'logged-into 'Iron-Spirit', he got started on his 'climb-through the 'gold-ranks, 'piloting his new 'Fantasia 2R-'Phantasm'./
/After spending the hour, achieving two-consecutive victories, at the 'gaming-parlor, Uhtred decided decided that would be 'good, then he 'logged-off 'Iron-Spirit', to go find Lucky and Ves./
/Location: City of Freslin, 'Rank's 'Gaming-Center/

I walked 'amongst, the students and other younger-adults, 'visiting 'Rank's 'Gaming-Center'. Making my 'way, to the front-entrance of the building, to find my sibling and his 'metal-cat.
"Uhtred, how was the 'Phantasm? Are you still 'undefeated?" Ves asked as I approached and Lucky, the 'gem-cat had attracted a couple females, who were gathered around the 'robot-cat 'adoring it.
"Ofcourse, I am still 'un-killed, 'in-battle. I am the 'Lord Uhtred of 'BebbanBurg', after all. The 'Phantasm' is an 'excellent-mech, she performed more than beautifully." I told Ves, while 'checking-out the 'females, that were busy 'petting and speaking to Lucky.
"Good, I have a feeling I can, complete my mission within a 'week's time, at this 'pace." Ves told me.
"If Lucky keeps 'attracting, all these beautiful-females like this, I am just going to have to 'find me, a 'gem-cat as well." I said, causing some of the females, who were close enough to hear what I said, to blush and giggle.
"Haha, yea, I really 'struck-gold, when I got Lucky. You ready to go? We can hit up a couple more 'gaming-parlors, maximize my 'exposure. Then we can go to other cities, tomorrow and the days after that." Ves asked, if I was ready to go, So I just 'nodded my head, to answer him.
/After three-days, of 'advertising the 'virtual-mechs, Ves 'designed on 'Iron-Spirit', over five different 'cities on the 'Planet. Experiencing 'traveling by 'mag-lev, 'magnetizational-levitating, large-buses 'visiting the different cities on 'Cloudy-Curtain./
/Location: Larkinson-Residence/

"Haha, Lucky! Look, your snacks, the 'exotic-metal 'nuggets, are here. All my cold-weaponry is here as well, Sleipnir will be delivered today as well." I told the 'gem-cat who was 'hanging-out in the kitchen, watching me cook, when I heard the 'delivery-vehicle, 'hovering up to the 'residence and 'mech-workshop.
"Meow!" Lucky 'meow'd', translating in 'human-speech to 'roughly something like, "'Bout fuckin' time, peasant. Now, make'eth 'haste and 'fetch my 'snacks, 'Squire!".
Or something close to that, I 'think to myself, as I open the door, to sign-for and 'accept the 'goods, I 'ordered 'off the 'galactic-net, some 'four or so 'days ago.
/After Uhtred, unloaded and 'opened all the 'packages, containing all his 'cold-weaponry, such as a 'metal-alloy 'long-bow, and his 'sky-piercer', or 'Feng-Tian' 'metal-alloy halberd. Uhtred greeted Ves, whom just 'exited his 'mech-workshop, side of the 'residence./
"Ves, just the man, I wanted to see. I have some ideas, for a 'personal-design, I want you to 'create for me. On 'Iron-Spirit', ofcourse." I told my brother, as he sat down at the 'island, in the 'kitchen and dining-area, of the home. To enjoy, a fresh meal, I just finished 'preparing, for the both of us.
"Really? I just got an actual-physical 'production-license, for a 'ten-year contract, for the 'Caesar Augustus CA-1, 'manufactured by 'National-Aeromotives. It is a 'heavier-mech than the 'Fantasia 2R, but I upgraded some of my 'system-skills. I am confident, in 'designing a 'viable-variant, of the 'older-mech." Ves told me, all about his new 'production-license, he received from the 'Sons-Of-The-Future, 'Institute of Technology.
"That is perfect, I know the 'mech, once you fix the 'internals, I have some additions I want you to make to mine. Come look at this 'Sky-Piercer' Halberd, and this 'metal-alloy 'long-bow. I want you to design me 'replicas of these weapons, for my 'mech. I will draw you a 'armor-scheme, that I want you to 'create for the 'variant of the 'Caesar Augustus, I want the name for my 'variant, to be the 'Lu-Bu 'LB-01." I listed off, for Ves, whilst showing him the 'cold-weaponry, I want him to 'reference for my 'custom-virtual, 'Variant-Mech.
"You plan to use a bow? And arrows? As your 'ranged-weaponry?" Ves asked three questions.
"Yes to all three, I know, don't look at me like that. I can not help, that I am a 'cold-weaponry 'Supremacist, this is how I was born, it is not something I can control." I told Ves, who just looked at me, with a 'strange-confused look, on his face.
"Whatever you want, it is your 'custom-mech after all, anything else to 'note?" Ves told me, then asked if that was all, I wanted from him.
"Yea, for now, eventually I would like for you to create some kind of 'cavalry-based 'mech. I have a 'purebred-warhorse that should be delivered, sometime today. I want you to 'base the 'stallion-part of the 'mech, after my 'warhorse Sleipnir, who I picked out personally." I told Ves, saying to him, yes, that would indeed be all for now.
