"Everyone back up a bit, I need to do some renovation to our new place"
Everyone backed away from me as I used telekinesis to first of all straighten out the dents in the walls, secondly removed the debris and stored them in my inventory and thirdly I flushed out the spiritual diseases and viruses in the air thus making breathing easier for my minions.
Looks like I'll have to make a bigger air filter and also make more and better gas masks for them. I should also add a generator too for that matter.
I have a lot of ideas on how I want my base to look like and the only thing left just manifest it into reality but first I gotta clean this place up. While I was busy, my minions kept themselves busy and they basically created a hierarchy for themselves with lappland and surprisingly Vera arguing on who should be the leader while the others watched on the side. After a while I was done with the renovations and started filling out the space available, one side was where everyone would be staying at, another was where I'll be staying- I don't trust them yet so that will do for now- and then the other is where I'll be making my work station, lab or whatever name I'll decide one later. There's also enough space for them to have a training area to hone their skills and abilities.
Speaking of training I need to address them on that while also starting my own training too, I need to master my psychic abilities and also hone my combat skills too.
Great sage, be a dear and look up some combat knowledgeable for me in the warp along with some other stuff, like science, history, star charts and blueprints too.
[Answer: It will take some time.]
No problem I'm not in a hurry.
I went to the group and showed them where they will be staying, eating and also sharing their knowledge with each other. I'm adding the last bit to foster a sense of comradeary and trust between them. After all they are my first group of minions so they must set an example since in the future there might be more people joining us.
"Jake. Lappland. You too are the most skilled at when it comes to combat, so I want you both start training the others starting tomorrow. Jake, you are the most disciplined, so you will be in charge of their martial training, Lappland you will be charge of their ranged combat training and along with teaching them to be more flexible in combat since you are more of a wild instinctive fighter."
"Both of you will also take part in each other's training so that you'll learn from the other, got it?"
"Yes sir!" Jake saluted
"No problemo boss!" Lappland nodded with a sharp grin.
I nodded with a smile at their enthusiasm and then I turned to Vera.
"You will be start training with them in the morning and then come to me, I'll help you in training and mastering your powers."
I told Vera and I watched her nod, with a look of determination in her eyes. After that I turned to address everyone as a group now, should I give my group a name? I pondered for a bit, I tossed that thought at the back of my mind for now.
"Everyone rest up for now, we are gonna have for the next couple of days."
""""Yes boss!""""
__☆__
Time skip!!!!
It's been a couple of days- well it's been a close to two weeks if you want something specific- since my reincarnation or more specifically since I regained my memories and it's been a busy week and a half for both me and my minions.
Okay let's start with my minions- they have been very delegent when it comes to their training, they woke up early in the morning to start with physical training which was recommended by both Lappland and Jake, after that it's followed by martial training. After they were done they rest up a bit, eat and then they're trained by Lappland who I seem to have underestimated cause she was skilled in all forms of combat close quarters- armed and unarmed- and ranged combat. Their training with her was harder than Jake's cause Lappland pushed them to their limits both mentally and physically.
That was just the morning, after they were done with all their training they spent the rest of their time until close to evening either mapping the area and scouting or looking for food, water and other materials for me to use my inventions which paid off cause I made them better equipment- gas masks, air filters, oxygen tanks, armors, close quarter weapons and guns. These are just for their outdoor activities, as for indoors stuff I made them better clothes, beds, blankets and a promethuim heater and generator for power.
Yeah I gave them premium treatment and their behavior turned into borderline worship which I didn't expect but it was welcome.
Looks like it really was good idea to keep Seris alive.
Yeah it was Seris who somehow convinced them to worship me, maybe she was desperate to fill in the void left behind by the Emperor's absence so she worshipped me instead or maybe she really sees me as a godly figure. Whichever one it is I don't care honestly since her actions fostered their trust in each other and thus the chances of them betraying me are so close to zero. Even if they betray me I can just kill them easily since I left a piece of my psychic presence in their souls, I just need to trigger that and boom they're dead.
Now then back to the topic at hand- that's what they did the past week- as for me I was just dismantling, improving and creating gredgets to improve my daily life here. For example I created a recycling-enator -Yes that's what I called it- what it does is simple, it recycles wasted food into their basic elements and then with the replicator-enetor- another one of my inventions- it will recreate any type of food it has data on with different amounts of nutrients but still retaining if flavor.
(A/N: Think of it like the food replicator from star trek. Mind you I've never watched star trek I just know of it.)
That's just two of them that made my quality of life better, I made other inventions too like glimmer, a prototype lightsaber, machine that purifies water completely and one that gathers pollution in the air and turns it into renewable energy, etc. As for my own training, it's going quite well honestly. I'm now skilled in both ranged and close quarters combat both armed and unarmed, great sage found a great amount of knowledge from martial art disciplines to history, science, blueprints and many more and has been enriching themselves and me with what's useful for me now and for later.
I've also grown in mastery of my psychic disciplines- telekinesis which is where I'm most skilled at, followed by telepathy since I had to teach Vera and help her master her own powers and biomancy which is what I use to heal my minions when they get injured in training or when the come back from fighting zombies, poxwalkers, dregs and other outcasts and the likes. I've dabled in other disciplines like pyromancy and divination but that's more of great sage's field of expertise.
Oh yeah I also found out what happened the night great sage had to knock me out. Apparently I fucking ripped through the warp and killed daemons which is fucking crazy but damn, I didn't know I was that goated. I noticed something was off when even after using my powers for almost two weeks, there were no daemons surrounding my soul and those that we around Vera's soul seemed to have ran off. That was deeply unsettling, so that got me suspicious so when I asked great sage about it, they told me what happened and the reason why the daemons around Vera ran off was because they were scared of by the echoing screams of the dead daemons around me.
Also something to take note off, apparently killing and absorbing daemons in the warp can strengthen your soul, so that's cool and it's something I will take advantage of when I can the chance to.

"Alright Vera, seems like you have a good grasp on the basics of telepathy and telekinesis. Now the next thing to do is to add them to your current combat skills and you will develop a battle style that suits you."
"It's all thanks to your training that I was able to progess this far boss."
"While that might be true, it also thanks to your efforts. Okay now rest up since you will be going out in an hour and this time I'll be joining you guys."
"Yes sir!"
Vera nodded and went to chat with the others, they've all developed quite nicely and they're teamwork and trust is growing steadly too. I went to my work shop and went towards the vox on the my workbench, it's my most recent project to fix and upgrade. I've already created mini ones for the team so that they can communicate freely between themselves and me when they're separated and the one I'm making is just for eavesdropping on what's happening in the hive and its current situation.
I've already made one that's connected to me mentally so that I can listen to songs from my previous life that I've listened too. And it's been a great help in uplifting my mood and Lappland has taken an interesting in listening rock songs so I lend it to her from time to time.
I tinkered with it for a while and it was done with it, now it just needs a bit of powers and it will be done. I inserted a mini power pack in it and it lit up and activated.

And just like that chapter 7 ends. So what do you guys think, did I over explain or did I under explain? Did they make sense or not? And yes I will be add enator at the end of each of his inventions since they remind me of Dr. Doof. Also do guys have any suggestions of gadgets and inventions he can create.
