Chapter 15: Axle. It'll have to do.

​ Twenty-five minutes later, my deep mind bubbled up the blueprint for my new body!

I was… not impressed.

​Oh, sure, it was human-shaped and not grotesquely ugly, but oh boy, did it have some flaws. The general form was right, and it was rather plain-looking. The body's skin color was a tannish hue, accompanied by brown hair, and although the face was not frightening enough to be included in a haunted house, it wasn't attractive enough to be featured on the cover of a magazine and might make only a few children scream. It was overall uninspiring but would work for my great escape. The Qi channels, the meridians that connected to the body's Qi core and then wove their way up to a collection of something located near the heart, were not quite right. I also got the feeling my new titan of escape prowess would die pretty quickly from the common cold, as it would focus the immune system more on fighting the mismatched parts of the body than any invading organisms.

​It was a functional slapdash job, and I would pay for it in the price of Qi consumption. The body would take one Qi per minute to stay alive, and once I disconnected from my dungeon, that would be a problem. My deep mind was already on the problem, but it would be at least eighteen hours before I got a better body blueprint. I needed to make it and an outfit this thing just on the off chance that the lord guy showed up earlier than expected.

​Build a person 101; escape options optional.

The guidance of my subconscious mind made the process of forming the body of my creation effortless, and it took only 1,450 points of Qi to materialize it in my creature testing room, which I had turned into an escape tunnel.

​Connected to me, the guy, it, let's go with it, started drawing 1 Qi per minute. This was not a problem yet. It was dead, well, the thing had a heartbeat, and it breathed, but that was it. It was a total vegetable, with no mental activity whatsoever. Its brain was just a blank, mushy bowl of tapioca pudding. Connected to me through a thread of Qi, I devoted one percent of my mind map to it. As my subconscious took hold of the body, the dude twitched, spasmed, and then started to move.

​Ah, hell, that was creepy.

​It could move, and now that it was able to move, I felt like it needed a name or designation. I sent the command to have it stand up. It did so with his man bits dangling in the wind. The twigs and berries were not impressive either. Yeah, I'm going to have to fix that at some point, as well. A name what to call this thing. It's an auxiliary body, so maybe Larie, Bob. Larie felt too real, so Bob it is.

“I dub thee, Proto-Bob!”

​The one percent of my SPU only allowed Proto-Bob to stand and move around very slowly and ungracefully.
