Chapter 124 Damm Fight and...
Right now, the best thing that Jeniael could think of was to ask for help from the Artificial Intelligence that was in control of the Obscurus, the Arcturus's flagship, to send some medicines and other things that would allow Zehal to recover almost instantly.
Arcturus, like every paranoid he was, invested a lot of Universal Credits into the healthcare that was on the deck of the starship, and he had a lot of things that allowed one to undergo self-healing without a doctor or healer.
Jeniael thus quickly contacted the Artificial Intelligence Red Queen, who was doing her own things at the Obscurus, mainly implementing several new ideas that she came up with together with Zehal when they were working on the upgrades on the ship.
She also controlled the manufacturing plant of the Battle Droids to produce more and more Battle Droids that would be put to use during future conflicts. Just as she was about to start creating another batch of the Battle Droids, Red Queen noticed incoming communication to the Obscurus.
Red Queen was rather surprised that she got a call from Jeniael Luxford, not a person who she would be talking with. When she was on the deck of the starship, Red Queen always viewed the white-haired teen as a brute who liked to destroy things, considering the number of training dummies that she had destroyed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Not only that, but the woman had a thing for being as destructive in everything she was doing, and when she sparred with her Master, she was always destroying the things that were in the Dojo at the Obscurus.
And it was always up to the Red Queen to repair everything.
Nevertheless, she answered the incoming call because the white-haired brute was still a companion of her Master, and even the Artificial Intellignece had realized that her Master was spending a lot of time with that musclehead.
She wondered that if the two of them would go and mate as most of the organics do when they are fond of each other, but on the other hand, she didn't really care that much about that.
'What do you want, Miss Jeniael? Did you perhaps destroy something in the hotel and are in dire need of repair?'
Red Queen mimicked the best mocking voice that she could find in her database because she was already evolved enough to mimic and understand certain patterns of organic behavior after spending a lot of time with the organics.
For the Thinking Machines like her, the organics were always one huge mystery, especially in their behavior and process of thought. Many times, they were behaving highly irrationally and were not using logic, but instead, they were acting based on their emotions.
Something that she found pathetic and impossible to comprehend.
Meanwhile, Jenaiel, who was on the other side of the call, stood there, in the middle of the garden at the hotel, as she looked around herself. Fortunately enough, almost nothing was destroyed during their fight because they were not using their Psionic Energy or Psyker Ability.
Just their fists and legs.
Nothing more and nothing less.
"No. We have a small scruffle... let's say. And now, Zehal is unconscious, and I need something to patch her up."
Jeniael explained everything that happened about their scruffle as the Red Queen listened patiently but didn't really understand it much. From her point of view, she didn't really understand why the two women were fighting with each other.
'So, you are fighting for a mate? Indeed, the organics are not that different from the animals.'
The white-haired teen woman tried not to take offense to being compared to the animal, among other things. However, she knew that she and Zehal were effectively fighting for the mate as cruse as Red Queen had put it.
Nevertheless, she wasn't in the mood to argue with the Artificial Intelligence at this situation, as the only thing that she needed were the medicines and some things that she could use to patch Zehal up because the Heiress Apparent of the House Alvix had a few cracked ribs and other kind of injuries that would require considerable time to heal.

But Arcturus, as paranoid as he was, had within his supplies even things that could almost instantly heal the physical injuries that were not really that severe or drastically shorten the healing time required for the injuries that were actually more severe.
The injuries that Zehal suffered from the fight would be healed within a few hours after a few healing items were used. The only thing that was missing from the obscure right now was the complete Healing Chamber.
Though Arcturus mentioned that he wanted to buy one, but it cost a lot... even the cheapest was something around one hundred thousand Universal Credits. The Healing Chambers were one of the wonders of the most advanced technology that many of the High-Level Civilizations and High-Level Star Nations employed.
One season at the Healing Chamber was enough to heal even far more serious injuries than Zehal had right now. However, the basic models were rather useless when it came to the injuries that were done by some specific Psyker Abilities.
'I am sending you a drone carrying out one of the PX-Regeneration Synergy; the application instructions are on the cover. And try not to make a mess next time.'
Red Queen stated as she cut down the call and sent Jenaiel a drone carrying the PX-Regeneration Synergy for an occasion like this. Every single one cost around one hundred Universal Credits.
The Artificial Intelligence that was in charge of the Obscurus also sent Jenaiel some other kinds of medicine that were used to get rid of fatigue, muscle strain, and post-healing effects together with any kind of trauma.
Fortunately enough, Arcturus had stocked a lot of things on the Obscurus because if there was one thing that he wasn't saving money aside from the food and upgrades on the starship, it would be self-preservation.
Arcturus feared death a lot, so he was investing a lot of money into keeping himself alive and preventing any accidents.
Due to that, he had almost a functioning hospital on the deck of the Obscurus, with some really advanced technology, and he had told Red Queen to save as much data about the physiology of the Asuryani as possible.
So she would be able to carry out operations on his body when he was out of cold or was in rather a severe situation. Especially when he was doing some kind of mission and was severely injured.
Unfortunately, it was discovered that Arcturus wasn't really that well-versed in Psionic Healing. He had tried a few techniques with the Grandmaster Byrmellir, but it seemed that due to the influence of the Dimension Empyrean, it was useless.
According to his Master, the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability Dimension Empyrean was influencing his whole Psionic Energy, making it extremely corruptive, like the very own nature of the Dimension Empyrean.
Using the Healing Psionic Skills required rather tame Psionic Energy, something that Arcturus was lacking. Due to that, he couldn't use the Healing Psionic Skills, or rather, if he used then their efficiency wouldn't be anything great, practically around 1% of the supposed power.
Which was probably as good as nothing at all and a waste of the Psionic Energy overall.
***
Several minutes later, a small drone landed in front of the Jenaiel it was controlled by the Red Queen and carefully opened the small metal case that was housing the PX-Regeneration Synergy together with several other vials and pills and a bottle of water.
Jeniael quickly took out the reddish-looking PX-Regeneration Synergy and injected the PX-Regeneration Synergy's reddish liquid into her bloodstream. The PX-Regeneration Synergy started working almost immediately as Zehal's injuries started healing in a real-time.
Almost immediately, Zehal took out two other vials that were filled with some liquid. One of them was labeled with the word "Trauma", and the other was labeled with "Psionic".
She opened Zehal's mouth and let her drink the contents of both of the vials into her mouth, which was speeding up the regeneration and healing process. All beings with Psionic Energy had a far faster rate of regeneration and healing than the beings without Psionic Energy.
The healing rate of someone without the Psionic Energy was far slower, as the Psionic Energy was speeding up the regeneration rate of the cells in the body of every living being with the Psionic Energy.
One could say that the Psionic Energy was fueling healing and regeneration.
Seeing that things were working as Jenaiel wished, she looked at Zehal and started checking on her body. The remaining things that were inside the metal case were several pills that were for the headaches and the strain on her body.
Because they were needed to leave tomorrow for the mission issued by the Directorate.
So she needed for Zehal to recover right now...
No matter how ludicrous it may have sounded.
It took around twenty minutes until Zehal started slowly regaining her consciousness from being knocked out. It seemed that the plethora of medicines that Arcturus had stacked up on the Obscurus really paid off.
The Heiress Apparent of the House Alvix was slowly regaining consciousness as she slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was still in the garden at the hotel located in the core center of the Ziria.
Judging based on the darkness of the night, not long had passed when she turned her sight on Jeniael, who was grabbing a bottle of water together with some pills from the metal case that was held by the mobile drone.
Zehal knew that Jeniale must have asked Red Queen to send her medicines from the Obscurus because there was no way that she would be healed and woken up just a short time after Jeniael beat out the crap of her.
Even though Zehal managed to land a few hits on Jeniael, it was nothing compared to the beating that she received. Because both of them were using just their martial arts and close-quarter skills, with now Psyker Abilities or Psionic Energy involved, Zehal was at a severe disadvantage.
"How long was I out?"
Zehal asked while she took the bottle of water and a few pills that Zehal gave her. She gulped down everything as she drank almost an entire bottle of water in one go, while she used the rest to wash her face from the bloodstains as her nose got broken and her lips were bruised.
"Only something under one hour. After I knocked you out, I called the Red Queen for the medicine and other things to patch you up."
Jeniael answered straightforwardly because, although she tended to leave Zehal to her own devices, she ultimately decided against it and patched her up, leaving a rather bitter taste in the young Luxford's mind.
"You really don't hold back your punches..."
Even though Zehal's body was regenerating at a staggering rate due to the injection of the PX-Regeneration Synergy, her head still hurt a lot.
The other things that Jeniael gave her, especially the ones from the heightened Psionic Energy Healing and the ones against the Physical Trauma, would take effect only within an hour or two.
So, that would take some time, and she would need to withstand some pain for the time being. But Zehal already went through situations that were far worse than this so that she would manage, and hopefully, the medicines that she took would kick in soon.
"Well, you did too, surprise me a little with the first attack... who would have thought that you would have that in you? I have always taken you for a coward, afraid of any real action."
Jenaiel stated becuase she was surprised when Zehal attacked her or rather carried out rather successful ambush on her person.
Note that Jenaiel was, in fact, really realized by the fact because she had always thought that Zehal was rather cowardly for never really going with her proposal for the fight and fought only when she was concerned too.
***
Meanwhile, everything was happening; both of them forgot the drone that was lying in the grass, not even a few meters away from them.
Obviously, neither one of them noticed the miniature hidden camera installed on the mobile drone, as the Red Queen was observing everything that was happening in the hotel's garden.
The Super Advanced Hyper Artificial Intelligence of the Obscurus was observing the changes between two rivals with mild interest. It wasn't every day that she was able to observe such interesting specimens firsthand.
Her Master was rather boring from this perspective due to his passiveness, as she had noticed.
Arcturus Crawford was a man who, literarily, didn't really care about most things and went with the flow. While he indeed had a certain obsession with power and getting stronger and was fixated on money, those were not really traits that a super-advanced hyper-advanced artificial Intelligence like her found interesting.
It was the emotions and drama, one would say, that were intriguing for the Red Queen.
The Artificial Intelligence observed everything with a keen interest as she was still evolving, and the more she evolved, the more she was able to understand the behavioral patterns of the Organics.
Though she found the source of their conflict rather irrational?
If both of them were interested in taking the same mate, then why not?
For the Artificial intelligence, it was somewhat confusing why they couldn't just both take him at the same time.
It was only logical that males of superior genetic material would be able to attract the attention of multiple females, and the purpose of procreation is to pass the most superior genetic material to the next generation to make the next generation more powerful than the previous one.
She found their concepts of morality and ideas of monogamy rather laughable and ironic because even she, as the Thinking Machine that was still evolving, understood that only strength mattered.
Red Queen really wondered how this would play out...
The only reason she could understand why they would fight for the opportunity to take her master as their mate was to prove their superiority over the other females who may be interested in him and wanted to mate with him.
At least this way, she would get more entertainment from the organics because they were almost most intriguing and incomprehensible for her.
