Huffing and puffing, Ryder brought her run to an end with a smile on her face despite the perspiration drenching her clothes and sliming up her skin. Fifty Times Earth’s Gravity complete.
Making her way back to the controls, the woman grasped the knob and disabled the Augmented Gravity. As gravity returned to normal, Ryder found herself reveling in her improved mobility. Lighter, faster, stronger.
What surprised her more than anything- however- was an overall improvement in her general vigor. Casting her focus to her internal qi passageways she was shocked to find that- in the absence of the augmented gravity- they were wider than ever before. Her blood flowed with more power than before, every breath she took- even when not cultivating- seemed to gather faint traces of the qi of heaven and earth.
~It seems this augmented gravity has more benefits than I had ever imagined. Each time I experiment with it, I reap greater rewards than before. Sooner or later I definitely want to purchase one of these bad boys for myself. But that won’t stop me of taking advantage of the Organization’s training resources for now.~
Feeling satisfied with her progress, Ryder departed the gravity chamber and made her way to the showers. She couldn’t help but think back to how this morning she and Tulip had showered in this very place. The kid had a bit of a disaster in her shower stall, but Ryder’s own disaster with the washing machine was the greater horror. She’d lost her old workout uniform to shrinking and had to replace it before coming back alone.
This time would be different. She’d bit the bullet and purchased an actual workout uniform rather than a homemade one, and one which was expressly labeled ‘fully pre-washed and guaranteed not to shrink.’ Similar to her homemade yellow one, this outfit was a pair of Blue Shorts, boots and sleeveless crop top.
Before long the clothes were clean, as was the woman. With renewed determination Ryder made her way out of the locker-room… only to briefly pause at an automated massage machine. ~What the hell, why not. After as hard as I’ve been pushing my muscles today, I deserve some relaxation.~
Her muscles soothed soothed and tension released by the technical marvel, Ryder soon drifted to sleep. As she lay there asleep on the table, visions flitted through her mind of past adventures and future possibilities. Above all a strong sense of crisis crashed upon her, culminating in a shadowy form launching an immense attack that seemed as though it would crush her along with the entire Earth.
Waking with a start, the woman found herself covered in a cold sweat. ~After I just showered!~ Seeing that she was already sweaty, Ryder figured she may as well try her luck in the Gravity one more time before heading home for a proper bath.
Once more inside the gravity chamber, Ryder returned to the control panel with her Game Face on. “It’s go time” she spoke with determination, turning the dial all the way up to sixty times Earth’s Gravity.
