Browning stared at the board before attempting to touch it. However, as he was about to touch it, the board began changing.
<<<Recalibrating…>>>
In response, Browning retracted his hand and merely waited for the board to finish.
<<<Identifying Pilot…>>>
Browning had a moment of realization after seeing that text. It was very similar to an AI HUD he had developed for the crew of various vehicles. He was dumbfounded as the AI initially was meant to be implanted into the crewman’s eye, but here it manifested as an actual object.
<<<Administrator detected>>>
<<<Welcome back Chairman Browning>>>
Browning slightly sneered as the AI fueled his ego, but he quickly stopped as the board began to flicker and glitch.
<<<War#InG C?/neCtIOn I#%erUpTEd>>>
Browning watched as the board violently flickered and showed random characters and symbols until it seemed to stabilize, turning red.
<<<Hello Noah>>>
<<<I’ll get straight to the point>>>
<<<Afterall I know you’ve always been that kind of person>>>
Browning took out his pistol and continued to watch the board, very confused.
<<<I am not the God you know>>>
<<<However I am a god>>>
<<<You will do a few favors for me>>>
<<<If you refuse you will suffer a fate worse than death>>>
After seeing that message, Browning tightened his grip around his pistol in anger, but he let the board continue.
<<<Regardless I doubt you would refuse>>>
<<<You will be given powers to do these favors>>>
<<<I have manifested myself and those powers in a way familiar to you>>>
<<<If you look hard enough on this world>>>
<<<You’ll find a generous surprise I have arranged for you>>>
<<<The favors you must do will be found within the powers I have given you>>>
<<<Happy hunting Noah>>>
<<<Enjoy>>>
The board then returned to its normal blue translucence.
<<<Welcome back Chairman Browning>>>
The board then turned into a menu similar to a game. There were four different tabs: <stats>, <inventory>, <units>, <shop>, <assignments>, and <logs>. Browning looked around, sighed, and stared back at the menu. He stared at it, taking in what the so-called god said to him.
"The fuck is all this bullshit?" Browning thought.
The menu was currently open to the <stats> tab.
