Honkai Get's Star Railed Chapter 3 (Patreon)
Content
Seeing all the destroyed machinery was making my new tinker power wig the hell out. But I kept in my tinkering autism within myself even as I saw Stelle starting to be corrupted as she walked around the space station.
Each time... Each time we walked by a trash can, I could see it. That gleam in her eyes, the desire to hunt for treasure in the place no one would expect to find said treasure.
Thankfully with how March 7th was watching her so closely, we were able to keep a straight line as we ran to find Himeko at the hangars of the Space Station.
The giant hanger for the space station was clearly meant to allow larger cargo ships past the film that separated the station and the void of space. So there was... Unfortunatly plenty of room for flying units of the Anti-Matter legion to be tearing through the air.
"How fragile is this landing area?" I asked as I smashed a 'Rasengan' in a compressed typhoon into a void ranger that tried to charge into me.
Dan Heng then called out. "The energy field keeping the hanger's atmosphere is very strong and well protected. Go ahead and go crazy Jake!"
And I grinned as I let go completely, as I held up both hands, and thick clouds formed above our heads as a twisting typhoon began swirling in the air, which began dragging all the flying Anti Matter legion troops into the swirling watery tornado.
Seeing March ready to combine her ice with my typhoon, I said helplessly. "No March! Just let me deal with the flyers! I don't want the typhoon to get stronger as there is still security forces here, remember."
March pouted a bit, but she refocused as she sent rainbow colored arrows made out of six-phase ice towards the beautiful red head that was at the edge of the hangar and beating the Anti-Matter Legion troops to death with a giant circular saw-like weapon.
The space station's security forces at this point were just hunkered down as my typhoon's forces were constantly growing so that even the ground-based anti-matter legion's forces couldn't be running around as easily either lest they be taken into the air.
And then my face twitched as I saw Dan Heng leap into the air and the water from the typhoon was absorbed into his spear in which he used to send a powerful jet of water through the air to carve through several of the monsters.
'Wait... My typhoon gives Dan Heng access to powerful water for his weird dragon abilities. And March 7th can turn my typhoons into an icy tornado of infinite ice blades to shred enemies.'
'Did I reincarnate to become the ultimate support unit somehow?' I thought helplessly as the last of the advanced anti-matter troops were destroyed. Leaving only their husks and pieces of their antimatter frames.
Still, we all approached the beautiful redhead that was obviously Himeko with March 7th throwing herself at Himeko for a hug that made her chuckle helplessly as she said. "Little March, were you worried about me or something?"
Meanwhile, as March 7th was getting spoiled by her mother figure basically, I noticed Stelle finally not being watched for a minute... Snuck over to a large trash can that was clearly meant to collect the trash that came from delivery stock here on this hangar.
I walked over and asked quietly. "Are you seriously going to search a trash can?"
And Stelle looked back at me with an utterly serious expression as she said firmly. "Jake, I only have the clothes on my back. And the baseball bat in my hand. I need to find an honest way to buy food and new clothes for the future!"
My lips twitched at her completely nonsensical 'excuse' to rummage through the trash. But as she leapt into the large garbage bin... I noticed as she shifted some stuff around, she pushed aside a large refrigerator-sized machine.
And as I focused on the machine, I realized it was a giant multitool station that combined a pneumatic hammer, an induction furnace, and, among other things. Clearly having been just shipped over, but it was 'broken' upon arrival so it had just been thrown away.
But I could tell that it's internal components had just been shaken loose and several power connectors had come undone instead of it being broken.
'Hey. I could use this thing to repair Himeko's... Dead Himeko's sword anyway.' I thought and I said hurriedly. "Stelle, help me get this machine out of the trash. I can fix it, and I need to use it to fix those sword pieces I grabbed earlier."
But before Stelle and I could get to the machine a heavy cough rang out, and we both slowly turned around to see Himeko and March 7th had approached with dull expressions as they watched the two of us trying to lug a heavy as fuck machine out of a giant trash bin.
Then my face twitched as the Chaos Gatcha rang out. [Go trash diving with the trash can 'Aeon' on the Herta Space Station. - 1 silver ticket]
"Are you two ok?" March 7th asked quickly with a helpless expression and I hurriedly explained that I knew how to fix this machine and wanted to use it real quick.
And then Stelle, with zero shame, said proudly. "I am a proud member of the recycle cartel. I am making sure the Space Station is up to code in their recycling of precious materials and machines!"
"How is that going for you?" Himeko asked with a helpless smile, and Stelle paused before scratching her head as uhhh. Not much value to be had besides broken machines and such.
Then Himeko's face became more serious as she said firmly. "My name is Himeko, I am the Navigator for the Astral Express. I am glad that you two are safe after being found by Dan Heng, and March 7th. But do either of you know how you arrived here on the Space Station?"
And the two of us introduced ourselves to Himeko even as I mentally pulled the gacha pull like the gatcha addict that I was.

'Is cyberpunk tech even that useful in this universe? It runs off of imaginary energy bullshit that lets people crack planets open and the top-tier fighters to shatter galaxies.' I wondered helplessly.
Then I paused as I could use this to possibly enhance people like Luka when we went to Belebog, and likewise, I could basically rebuild Boothill as well, since he was basically an android at that point.
