Rene was in his own world. Scarlett-X and his avatar brother were trying to help him look at the bright side.

[[Cheer up. It's not as bad you think.]] Scarlett agreed with an avatar.

[Use the experience from the last accomplishment to fix the control of your ability.]

[[I have a better idea.]] Rene waved for him to go on. [[I'm thinking of siphoning just enough energy to create synergy skills.]]

'I'm not hating the idea.'

[[Good. Telekinesis and repair merge to become Telemechanics. Telekinesis and investigation merge into Spacial Awareness. Telekinesis and combat merge into a Telekinetic Combat Shell.]]

'It all sounds good and I have an idea of what the first and second skill abilities do, but the third one I'm not sure about.'

[[Imagine an ectoplasmic shell. Hard on the outside, with gel type skin underneath. The shell blocks incoming attacks and the gel underneath protects from shock damage.]]

'Alright, and if there's enough energy left add the two sub-skills from the level 5 ability. Any force field is better than none. oh one last thing, separate me from the other system and put me on the Evolved Xerys System when we do this.'

Rene waited for a few moments his avatar and Scarlett got everything ready.

[[Here we go. Accessing alert...Energy siphon active...The first synergy created...Telemechanics activated...2nd synergy created...Spacial Awareness activated...3rd synergy created...Telekinetic Combat Shell created.]]

[Synergy skill abilities are created and added to new sub-list Synergy.] Scarlett announced.

[[That went well...]] Rene could see a new page on the HUD. The three new synergy skill abilities were listed, each synergy was at level 1.

[[Here we go...adding sub ability Planetary Force Field...adding sub ability Planetary Plasma Projector...........Whoa!!!!]]

AI-Rene began fighting with the out of control energy. He couldn't understand why it was fighting him. Everything was going so well.

'What's going on?' Rene could feel his avatar's panic. 'Scarlett?'

[He skipped a step. He didn't wait until the first sub ability was added before he started the creation process for the other ability. The energy is flooding into our closed system. I will guide it into created abilities and skills...Alpha ability Planetary Defence has evolved into an Omega level ability. Synergy skill ability Telemechanics has increased to max level. Redirecting remaining energy to the second synergy skill ability...Synergy skill ability Spacial Awareness has increased to max level. Redirecting remaining energy to the third synergy...Synergy skill ability Telekinetic Combat Shell has increased to max level. Redirecting remaining energy to the new sub-ability Planetary Force Fields...Sub-ability Planetary Force Fields has increased to max level. No more energy remaining.] Scarlett stepped back as AI-Rene finished rebooting. The energy had overwhelmed his integrity. His failsafe reboot kicked in and brought him back to his last coherent thought, the creation of the second sub ability. Scarlett explained what went wrong while Rene was slumped in the front seat of Pierre's Ford F-150.

His body was changing and it would take a few minutes before the changes were done.
