"I didn't know that they have this inside the ship's room?" Lumine remarked as she stared at the holosimulation system connected to one of the astral nodes used by the ship to connect students on every deck of the ship to a training field.

"The Hyperion has been made with a lot of functions, the Holo-Grid is one of those functions and it is quite a unique system integrated to the ship." Bronya remarks staring in fascination given this was where her expertise showcase most.

"What does it do?" Aether asks out as he looks in curiosity at the purpose of the Holo-Grid. "Hmm... based on what I had gathered, it connects to a masdive digital pocket realm." Bronya informed.

"So essentially it is another dimension?" Bianka asked as Bronya nodded. "Yes, but it's more inclined to the digital space like the internet bit on a much grander scale..." Bronya replied with fascination, studying the systems intricacies... closer.

This was the first time she has seen such marvel of creation, Virtual simulation was real but not on the scale that St.Freya, Shicksal, Anti-Entropy, and the Church wielded which is more advance.

Not to mention it's craft a perfect replica of the real world unlike the VR that most humanity uses which are just some  headset that barely let you feel the real life experience the Holo-Grid can create.

The system doesn't just emulated reality, it actually creates an entire universe of its own which can affect their bodies... if they are not careful, there's a reason why a warning label was written over it.

"So essentially VR? Pft! Didn't we have it already?" Veliona scoffed looking uninterested unlike her geek of an older sister who as obsessed with games and technology, that she like to study deeply.

"Yes, however this is different compared to the VR we know." Bronya argued back at her ignorant little sister who's more into different hobbies than her, not that she's complaining, given that her choice.

"Aaaaaah! Why are there tentacles here! Mei-Senpai save me!" They all turned to look at Kiana or rather the one who was inside the Holo-Grid running for her life as a tentacle monster chases after Kiana.

"Hmm... so that's what this meant by the lovecraftian dlc." Stelle running besides the other frightened girl as they tried to escape the horror from beyond that was out to eat them, despite it not being real.

The simulation was real-life, and since it emulates effects that real-life also makes it not so pleasant if what you are simulating wasn't positive like the weird tentacle monster that is out to eat Kiana.

"Stelle! I told you not to use that dlc! You know that's bad for others mental health!" Caelus exclaimed outside of the Holo-Grid, unfortunately his sister wasn't listening carefully to his warning.

"What?! I can't hear you." It was obvious that she was ignoring him as she ran her way through a vast Labyrinth created by the simulation, alongside Kiana who  doesnt look like she was ever enjoying it.

"Help me! There are teeth within its eyes and more tentacles in it! How is it even possible?!!!" Kiana cried out in horror as she ran through alongside Stelle not wanting to be taken by the abomination.

"That's Lovecraft for you." Caelus says as he shivered slightly. [Concern, 2nd Emanator mentality health.] Eonic spoke in Caelus head as the latter just nodded back. "Yeah, I guess you are right Eonic."

"Still weird to know that you exist... I am quite confuse at this emanator stuff your babbling about." Caelus muttered quietly enough that the others wouldn't hear his voice as he leans looks towards.
