"Huh, that is a lovely selection I have, but I don't recognise some of these classes, but on another note though, System, what does the Unique Ships slot mean?". I asked out loud before a feminine artificial voice responded.

That is unique, and perhaps I am not so screwed as I thought I was.

"I would have thought I'd have a lot more options, is there a reason for this System".
[New Upgrade Options Will Be Gained With Every 10 Level Ups]
"Right, and how would I level up?" I say.
[Level Ups Are Possible With Destroying What The Host Considers An Enemy Target, Which Will Give XP]
"…Is…is that the only way I can gain XP?".
[Affirmative]
"Well, dam, that complicates things." That definitely puts any thought of rapid expansion of anything combat-oriented on hold, but I could most certainly increase my resource stockpile to insane heights.

I am a little bit surprised that the utility structures only require Credits to build them, I thought I'd at least need a certain amount of the other two resource options in order to construct them.
"System, how much income do the Mining Stations, Research Stations and Trades Stations bring in".
[A Singel Mining Station Of Titanium Extraction Yields 100 Ti Units Every 12 Hours, Deuterium Extraction Yields 50 De Units Every 12 Hours, Research Station Yields 1rp Every 24 Hours And Trades Station Tax Is Rated At 1k Cr Every 12 Hours]

"Well, everything here is pretty much self-explanatory." Again, I was a little surprised by the defence items only cost credits rather than any other resource, then again, the ships should require it, as it would be weird if they didn't.
[Notice: Host Has Received The Beginner Pack, Would You Like To Activate The Beginner Pack]
"Yes, please" I ask.
[Unpacking Beginner Pack Host Has Acquired / 1 Unique Blueprint / 10 Gacha Tickets / Omni Tool / Universal Translator/ 10,000 Credits]
"This is extremely useful," I say out loud, marvelling at the gift I received.
"Right time for the worst part of this System, let's begin the Gacha roll, System, please use the 10 tickets in the [Gacha]"
[Affirmative, Beginning Roll]

"Hmm…aside from all the weird random stuff, I can't lie, this roll was pretty good all things considered about a gambling mechanic, System could you uhm, activate or roll the Unique Blueprint, like do something to use it."
[Affirmative]

"…I don't know whether to chalk this up to beginners' luck or some otherworldly powers doing". The chance of the latter being true is a certainty, given the fact that I exist in a make-believe universe made for entertainment purposes.
Though I could also be that lucky…not likely.
Wait a minute I can't even build a Unique Shipyard, its locked so I can't spam the Hades on mass, fuck.
"…What atrocious luck I have there, it's going to be such a long ass time before I level up" I moaned and cursed at the semi-useless drop I got, everything else was ok but being denied one of the best science fiction ship was a bummer.
I forced myself to move on, I needed to see what else this System could provide.
"[Perks] section is no-brainer, so don't really need to open that up, so last one now, [Store]".

Unique indeed, I could sort the list to order the items from most expensive to least expensive.
"I guess now I need to get to Shanxi now and prepare for what's to come".
It shouldn't be too hard to buy a ticket to the frontier colony, travel might take a week depending on space traffic, once I arrive I can begin the steps on building my economy then my fleet, once the exploratory ships open the relay I should have built up enough ships to prevent the Turian patrol fleet from blockading and occupying the world.
It sucks that I'll have to kill a bunch of good-natured regular alien sailors simply following orders but, hell I need the XP to level up and expand this System in order to bring about a better ending to this Universe then what those developers made.
Until then, I need to clear the First Contact War then head out to Omega and make mincemeat of those pirates and slavers, with the amount of XP those scumbags may carry I should be able to build the most powerful fleet this galaxy will ever have the pleasure of seeing.
Just you wait Reapers, Kali Elicitor has you in her sights.

13 Days Until First Contact War
The Relay expedition fleet has arrived in the system around the colony world of Shanxi, once they've gotten all their personnel and equipment checked out, they will depart in the next 12 days, so says the local News Network.
I have already gathered my fleet within a star system many light years away and have my Prowlers positioned close to the inactive Relay, ready to deploy Hornet Mines and monitor for the emergence of the Turian patrol fleet.
I am sitting down at a Deli strangely named "First Deli of Shanxi", sipping on some tea made by the local store owners while also reading about the Alliance public plans for the expedition, they were sending four ships, three civilian and only one small Navy frigate, well to me it was a Corvette size considering how much bigger my vessels are.
Actually, I think nearly every other sci-fi universe has far bigger ships than those within ME, but then again, everything is based off on trap-technology made by the Machine Race, who are the supposed to be the 'pinnacle of evolution and existence' who are also using said tech base only at a much more advanced level.
The Reapers are only really threatening for this reality and others that don't have access to advanced technology or super-powered beings that can destroy a world.
"System, is it possible for me to jump into another world?" Now there's a thought for me to rub my chin on.
[Clarify]
"I mean, can I hop into a completely different Universe from Comics, TV shows, and other Video Games?".
[Affirmative, However, The Host Can Only World Jump Once The Reaper Crisis Event Is Over, Fail Or Succeed, The Store Holds Many Items That Will Allow World Jumping]
"Nice," I say, smiling before then finishing my tea and leaving the Deli after paying for the warm beverage.
I was heading back to my rented apartment where I was temporarily staying near the city limits, once I got to my home away from home of the last, well 6 months now practically, I was going to pack everything up and drive out into the wilderness with my [Store]-bought futuristic Jeep, all the way to where I landed my Slip-space capable Condor.
The apartment block was about three stories tall, but it was far longer, going for about nearly a 110m in length, my unit which I was renting out, was on the second floor, further to the far-left side of the building.
Once I walked up one flight of stairs and fished out the keycard for my door, I soon stepped into the room, the living space itself wasn't anything special, just decently priced off-world wood furnishings and carpentry with little used planet-side material.
Flicking on the lights near the mirror facing towards the sliding window door leading to the balcony, with the illumination of the room, I was able to see my Mommy Binah's appearance in the mirror along with the random unknown women sitting in the only seat in the ro…oh wait that's not right?
Turning around, I see that yes, there is a random black haired, green-eyed, stern-looking woman in the only seat in the room, she's got all black fancy agency clothing and a silenced gun in her hands pointed right at me.
"And you are?" I say, gesturing towards the gun-wielding woman who was likely an assassin, which didn't feel right to say, probably a mafia type gang member, which may be probable, but I'm going to put my money on-.
"AIS, Agent Menja, and you are going to tell me everything about your Pirate Gang, Miss Binah, if that is really your name." Ah, Alliance Intelligence Service, I didn't exactly expect this to happen.
Though I had to raise an eyebrow at her wild accusation.
"Pirate Gang, you're not thinking that I'm part of a group of people planning on attacking Shanxi, are you?" That response only had the woman stand up with her gun still pointing at me by her hip.
"Don't try to play dumb, I've been tracking your movements ever since you showed up on Earth and to this world, frequent hikes into the middle of nowhere, no bank account details yet you pay in physical currency, suspicious sensor readings in space and that ship that you come in on, Shanxi is a perfect place for a Pirate raid as its far away from Alliance patrolled regions, all nice and ripe for the taking, and I bet the Relay expedition Fleet assets only make this planet all the more juicy."…I…I'm trying very hard not to show any form of emotion on my face.
"What the hell is so funny?" and I failed, I'm full-blown smirking, and I can't stop it.
"Sorry it's just amusing to hear that you went out of your way to come here and face me alone from what I would stand to believe to be a severe misunderstanding, I mean what would happen when you report this and it's all for nothing" the woman was now just an arm's length away now and still point the gun at me.
If I were a normal human being, I would definitely be intimidated.
"Once I make you sing, the Alliance will have all the reason to come and shut down you scumbags, now show me your hands" Kinky, she pulled out some cuffs. I made sure to give an audible sigh as I raised my hands.
On the bright side, she came alone.
"Just so you know I'm not a good singer," I say right then, my hands glow an ominous dark gold before Chanis exploded into reality.
The lady let out a shriek of surprise as the energy constructs began binding her body, restraining it, she dropped her gun as she fruitlessly struggled against the chains.
"The fuck is this!?" Fenja shouted in utter shock at what I had just done while trying to keep the panic out of her voice, even though I could see little tremors start to break out on her struggling form.
"You, being an idiot for coming alone for one," she growled at my comment before I made a gesture of twirling my hand to make the chains tighten, which elicited a yelp of surprise from the Intelligence Agent, who wasn't that intelligent.
"Second, you are in a way lucky to see what my real plans are, so be a good girl and stay quiet." Opening the [Store], I bought a bunch of items, a human-sized suitcase, bundles of ropes and bandages, along with an oxygen tank with a breathing mask.
It would be nearly an hour before I packed up everything that belonged to me in that room, storing it in my Jeep before then checking out and driving away to my parked ship.
I heard the suitcase make a lot of noises as I drove on, honestly, I could have definitely transported that woman in a more humane way, rather than just forcing her to play the part of a Mummy.
I hope I didn't traumatise the poor woman.
I shook my head at the thought, I couldn't be tied down by other people's thoughts and expectations, I have to do everything in my power to prepare for the Reapers, regardless of anyone's feelings on the matter.

In the last six months, I've gone from nothing to a strong fleet to fight in the upcoming skirmish against the Turian patrol fleet, though while I wished I didn't have to kill thousands of order abiding alien soldiers doing their duty, I knew the commander of the fleet will open fire then ask questions later.
I don't know what will happen after, however, given that my presence will change things in the long run, really anything could happen, but open conflict is more than likely to happen, provided the Citadel Council steps in to cease all hostilities.
The [System] is a godsend as I don't know what I would do with nothing to my name nor where I could have gone other than joining the Alliance back on Earth, however, there are flaws with the [System].
"[System] are you sure I can't switch tech base from Halo to something else?".
[The Halo UNSC Fleet System Cannot Be Altered From Current Settings Laid Out By The Administrator, Tech Base Cannot Be Changed, You Can Only Use What Has Been Acquired Via Already Installed Mechanics, If Host Wishes To Make Vessels And Items Independent From The System Then Host Must Do So Without The System Support]
In other words, if I wanted something new, then it had to be built the hard logical way.
Thankfully, once I level up and finally build the Hades, I can make my future research teams dismantle such an excellent source of new technology for my maybe not soon-to-be organisation to replicate it en masse, including anything else I buy from the [Store] can also be reverse engineered as well.
I'm almost excited about what the yet-to-be R'n'D will come up with.

I definitely need to build more ships, once the Relay was opened and the Turins come in and enforce Citadel law I'd get the XP I needed to level up, and once the conflict is resolved the humans will poor out into the wider galaxy by the thousands to colonises and settle into alien territory seeking a new life or business opportunities with the rest of the Citadel affiliated races.
And in that time, I will have to venture out and expand my own influence and secure prime planetary build sites preferably far away from any Mass Relay and begin constructing safe zones for the galaxy's civilians once the Reapers come, and I would need to build a lot of Bastions and factories where I can pump out more ships, plus I needed more resources, if there was one Cheat that the System gave me was the no cap limit on the amount of currency generating stations I could build.
I had years before the Reapers came (Uh, Phrasing :P), in that time of expansion and preparation, I would deal with the common threats to the galaxy in order to get XP.
Plus, I can fulfill my dreams as a filthy rich lady with the hyena laugh of superiority from those Japanese Animes, I can already see the number of things I'm going to indulge in, super expansive hotels, maids and butlers to serve me at the ring of a bell, jewels and the finest clothing I could wear along with gore made food from five-star chefs.
Money truly can buy you happiness.
"(thunk)mmrrrr" I hear the muffled screams in the suitcase once more.
"Quiet in the back." I wonder what Agent Fenja is going to do once I reveal my plans.
