As you wandered through the colorful pastures of the Far, Far Range, corralling slimes and collecting plorts, the gentle hum of your trusty VacPack filled the air. It was just another day on the ranch, or so you thought, until a holographic message flickered to life before you.

Y/N: Huh, a holo message? Wonder who it is?

When the static-filled screen finally cleared, the figure that appeared was none other than Viktor Humphries.

Viktor: Ah, Y/N! Just the rancher I was hoping to speak to. I've got a proposition for you, something that could change the way you ranch forever!

Viktor quickly adjusted his goggles as he peered at you through the hologram, and you would be lying if you said your curiosity wasn't instantly peaked, so you leaned in closer to hear what he had to say.

Y/N: What'cha talking about, Vik?

Viktor: I'm working on a top-secret project, a jetpack upgrade for your VacPack! With it, you'll be able to soar to new heights and explore areas you've never dreamed of reaching.

Y/N: A Jetpack?!!

The idea was electrifying. Your eyes lit up as you could already picture yourself zipping through the air, surveying your ranch from the sky, and getting the drop on as many Slimes or Hen Hens as you could imagine. Whatever he wanted you to do, you were instantly in, no matter what.

Y/N: Sounds fucking amazing! What do you need from me?

Hearing that, Viktor's face instantly broke out into a massive grin

Viktor: I knew you'd be interested! But, you see, I need some rare materials to complete the upgrade. The Far, Far Range is a treasure trove of resources, and I need you to collect them for me.

Viktor cleared his throat and brought up a small holographic list of items.

Viktor: I need some Phosphor Plorts, roughly ten should do, and 10 Radiant Ore. The Phosphor Plorts I'm sure you can manage to acquire them quite easily, but the Radiant Ore is a bit trickier. You'll need to venture into the deepest caves of the Far Far Range for that.

Nodding, you mentally noted down the list.

Y/N: Got it. Anything else I should know?

Viktor: Once you've collected all the materials, send them to me through the Range Exchange. I'll get to work right away on that jetpack upgrade. Just imagine the heights you'll reach

Viktor rubbed his hands together in excitement, and you couldn't help but smile at Viktor's infectious enthusiasm.

Y/N: Yeah, I can't wait now! Don't worry, Viktor I'll gather those materials as fast as a speeding Tabby Slime!

Viktor chuckled

Viktor: I knew I could count on you, Y/N. And remember, I'm expecting a Plort delivery, so don't keep me waiting too long!

With a wave and a final grin, Viktor's holographic image flickered out, leaving you energized and ready for the quest ahead. You instantly bolted toward your Phosphor Tabby Slime Largo corral and vacuumed up the 10 Phosphor plorts you needed before quickly firing them through the Range Exchange.

Y/N: Alright now that the easy part is outta the way, Radiant Ore, here I come.

As you set off toward the caves, you couldn't help but marvel at the beauty of the Far, Far Range. The shimmering phosphorescent flora lit your path as you ventured deeper into the darkness. The eerie silence was broken only by the occasional chirp of a nearby phosphor slime.

You navigated through narrow passages, jumped across chasms, and carefully avoided the ever-dangerous Tarr. Along the way, you gathered various resources that might prove useful in your quest for Radiant Ore, and after what seemed like hours of exploration, you finally stumbled upon a cavern that seemed promising.

The walls shimmered with a faint, ethereal glow, and you knew you had found the right place. It was time to start mining Radiant Ore. Equipped with your trusty VacPack, you set to work, breaking apart rocks and searching for the elusive ore. The process was slow and meticulous, but your determination drove you forward. Plorts and resources you collected along the way were stashed safely in your backpack, making this adventure even more fruitful.

Then, finally, after what felt like an eternity, you gathered the last piece of Radiant Ore. You gazed at your haul with a sense of accomplishment and headed back towards your ranch, eager to complete the mission Viktor entrusted you.

With the Radiant Ore safely stored in your VacPack, you made your way back through the twisting caves of the Far, Far Range. The phosphorescent flora continued to light your path, casting an otherworldly glow on your surroundings. As you ventured closer to the exit, you couldn't help but think about the incredible jetpack upgrade you were about to receive.

When you finally emerged from the cave system and back into the open air of your ranch, you felt a rush of relief. The weight of the Radiant Ore had made your journey back a bit more challenging, but you knew it would all be worth it once Viktor had completed the upgrade.

Back at your ranch, you quickly headed to the Range Exchange to send the Radiant Ore and a message to Viktor.

Y/N: Hey Viktor, I've got the Radiant Ore you needed! Sending it your way now.

You attached the Radiant Ore to the Range Exchange and watched as it was whisked away into the depths of the interstellar network. You hoped it would reach Viktor soon so he could begin working on the jetpack upgrade.

With your part of the mission complete, you decided to take a moment to relax and tend to your slimes. As you fed and cared for them, you couldn't help but imagine the possibilities the jetpack upgrade would bring. Flying over your ranch and exploring new heights was a true dream for any rancher.

Just when you were lost in thought, your VacPack beeped, indicating an incoming message from Viktor.

Viktor: Excellent work Y/N. The Radiant Ore has arrived. I'll get to work on that jetpack upgrade right away. It won't be long now until you can take to the skies!

You couldn't help but grin at Viktor's message. It was exciting to know that your ranching life was about to change in such a significant way. You replied with enthusiasm.

Y/N: Thanks, Viktor! I can't wait to see the finished product. Let me know if you need anything else.

With a sense of accomplishment and anticipation for the future, you went back to your daily tasks on the ranch, eagerly awaiting when you would finally have your jetpack and soar to new heights on the Far, Far Range.

4 Hours Later

Y/N: Ok, just a little bit to the...cmon stay up straight, dammit...Oh, right there, I think I got it!

You slowly backed away from the camera as it recorded the video for you. You finally stopped as you positioned yourself with just the perfect amount of distance as you stood in the center of a very small clearing not too far from the ranch, your brand new Jetpack happily attached to your back as you smiled.

Y/N: OK, let's do this right. This is day one and hour...who really cares of the Jetpack test flight. I am going to start off nice and easy with only a 10 percent thrust capacity to achieve lift-off. In 3, 2, 1.
