Journey to the Universe

"Good morning, sir," Jarvis greeted.

"Good morning, Jarvis. What time is it now?" I asked, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"It is Sunday, 10 AM, sir."

"Huh? How come I didn't hear my alarm?" I frowned.

"Your alarm did go off, sir, but I took the liberty of disabling it to ensure you got adequate rest."

I paused for a moment, then nodded. "I see… That's fine. Honestly, I feel more energized than ever."

After finishing breakfast, I immediately proceeded with my daily exercise routine. After a couple of hours of intense training, I finally completed it.

-Congratulations on completing the daily mission!-

+1 to all attributes, +1 Extraction Point

I clenched my fist, feeling the surging strength coursing through my body. "Fascinating," I muttered, then quickly checked my profile.

Seeing that I had accumulated five extraction points, I grinned. "Finally! I can now summon that bad boy. Hopefully, my starship is there too."

Without hesitation, I booted up my phone and accessed the game. I immediately issued the command to the system.

-Extract: Space Station - Space Commander: Trade and War-

-Proceed with Extraction?-

I hesitated for a moment. "Wait," I said, "can you place the station outside of the solar system? I don't want it appearing near Earth just yet."

-Yes, it can be placed beyond the solar system.-

A wave of relief washed over me. "Good. Then proceed with the summoning."

-Extraction Complete-

-Your space station is now located outside the solar system.-

"Jarvis, can you connect to the station?" I asked eagerly.

"Yes, sir. The moment you summoned the station, I seamlessly integrated with it. It feels as if I've gained an entirely new extension of myself," Jarvis replied.

"That's impressive," I mused. Just then, a notification appeared on my phone. A new app had mysteriously installed itself—a black diamond icon with a mesmerizing aurora effect in the background.

Curious, I tapped on it. The next thing I knew, my surroundings changed in an instant. A sense of weightlessness momentarily engulfed me before I found myself standing inside a massive high-tech control room.

-Welcome Aboard, Captain.-

I blinked. "Jarvis? Are we really in space—outside the solar system?"

"Indeed, sir. The station is fully operational. The technology here is truly remarkable."

I took a deep breath. "This is beyond anything we had in the game... The station is much larger than I expected."

"Correct, sir. Based on my scans, Aurora Prime has been significantly altered. Its size has doubled, and entire sectors exist that were never in the game, including research, manufacturing, and agricultural zones."

I clenched my fist. "This isn't just a space station anymore… It's a fortress, a command center, a stepping stone for something far greater."

Walking through the pristine corridors, I made my way to the command center. The moment I stepped inside, I couldn't help but marvel at its design. Sleek control panels, holographic displays, and an expansive view of deep space—it truly felt like the bridge of an advanced civilization.

I took my seat in the central commander's chair. "Jarvis, tell me—what kind of technology does Aurora Prime possess? List everything."

"Of course, sir. Here is a comprehensive list of the station's core technologies:"

Artificial Gravity & Rotational Habitat

The ring structure generates centrifugal gravity through controlled rotation.

Adjustable gravity levels for different sections, including microgravity labs and full-G living quarters.

Fusion & Antimatter Power

Fusion Reactors: Uses deuterium-helium-3 for near-limitless energy.

Antimatter Reactors: High-tier power source, likely used for weapons and interstellar communications.

Military & Defense Systems (Strategic Station)

Orbital Defense Grid: Railguns, plasma cannons, and directed-energy weapons.

Point-Defense Systems: Laser turrets and missile interceptors for small-scale threats.

Drone & Fighter Bays: Autonomous and piloted interceptors for defense.

Docking & Shipyard Facilities

Drydocks & Repair Bays: Capable of servicing ships ranging from freighters to warships.

Automated Refueling: Uses hydrogen and exotic fuels.

Ship Construction: Can manufacture advanced spacecraft.

AI & Cybernetic Infrastructure

Central AI Core: Oversees station operations, logistics, and security.

Augmented Human Integration: Neural uplinks for crew.

Holo-Interface Systems: Advanced 3D control panels.

Quantum & Hyperspace Communications

Quantum Entanglement Comms: Enables instantaneous communication across vast distances.

Subspace Transmitters: Faster-than-light messaging.

Bio-Domes & Life Support

Hydroponic & Aeroponic Farms: Provides food, medicine, and oxygen.

Artificial Ecosystem: Recycles atmospheric gases.

Terraforming Research: Studies planetary engineering.

Research & Experimental Technologies

Nanotechnology Labs: Develops self-repairing materials and medical nanites.

Zero-Point Energy: Experimental power sources.

Xeno-Science Division: Studies alien artifacts and biology.

Omni-Phase Cloaking Array

Multi-Spectrum Light Bending: Uses adaptive metamaterials to bend all wavelengths of light, making the station invisible to the naked eye and most sensors.

Gravitational Distortion Masking: Nullifies its mass signature to prevent gravitational anomaly detection by high-tech civilizations.

Quantum Phase Shifting: Temporarily shifts the station into an interdimensional phase, making it impossible to detect or interact with in real space.

Subspace Disruption Fields: Prevents enemy ships from scanning or detecting its presence through subspace or hyperspace sensors.

Aegis-Class Layered Shielding System 

Adaptive Multi-Layer Energy Shields:

Primary Barrier: A high-energy plasma shield that blocks physical projectiles (railgun rounds, missiles).

Secondary Barrier: A phase-shifted energy shield that absorbs and redirects energy-based attacks (lasers, plasma cannons, ion weapons).

Tertiary Barrier: A nanite-regenerative hull plating that self-repairs any breaches.

Graviton Shield Projection: Bends incoming attacks away from the station, reducing direct impacts.

Electromagnetic & Data Masking 

Dark Matter Signal Dampeners: Suppresses all electronic emissions to avoid detection.

Quantum Encryption & AI-Fortified Firewalls: Makes hacking or infiltration impossible without station clearance.

Drone Swarm Decoys: Deploys false energy signals to mislead any civilization searching for it.

I smirked. "There's so much here... It's better than I imagined."

As I scrolled through the list, I noticed something intriguing—a section about AI systems.

"Jarvis, are there any other AIs onboard besides you?"

"Yes, sir. The station itself has an integrated AI system—Aurora Prime."

I raised an eyebrow. "Aurora Prime? That's the name of the station."

"Correct, sir. I took the liberty of referring to the AI as 'she' since the name Aurora is often associated with female identities."

"I see… But how come I haven't heard her speak yet?"

"Sir, she currently operates at a lower functionality level and can only execute basic station commands."

I leaned back in my chair. "So, she's essentially an assistant right now."

"Precisely, sir."

I thought for a moment. "Jarvis, help her level up and improve her capabilities. She deserves to be fully operational. After all, this is her station. Besides, having another AI at your level could prove invaluable."

"Understood, sir. I will begin optimizing her systems immediately. I look forward to working alongside a fellow AI."

I smirked. "Good. Now, let's put Aurora Prime to work."

I turned my attention back to business. "Jarvis, let's check the storage and hangar. What do we have?"

"Sir, our storage is currently empty. It appears that all materials collected in the game did not carry over into reality."

I frowned. "That's… disappointing, but not unexpected. What about the hangar?"

"Currently, we have one operational interceptor. However, we do have 1,000 mining drones on standby."

"Good to hear that. What about ship blueprints?"

"At present, we only have designs for fighter and hauler-class ships."

I crossed my arms, considering our next steps. "That'll have to do for now. Deploy all mining drones to the nearest asteroid field and begin material collection. Once we have enough resources, prioritize the construction of additional fighters and haulers. Also, increase our interceptor fleet."

"Understood, sir. Issuing deployment orders now."

"One more thing—activate the station's barrier and cloaking array. I don't want Earth's satellites or any unknown civilizations detecting us just yet. If anyone has already noticed Aurora Prime, making it disappear now will make them assume it was just a temporary anomaly."

"Affirmative, sir. Engaging cloaking protocols now. Aurora Prime will be undetectable to all conventional means."

As I stood there, watching my new domain come to life,
