0800 Hours, The White House.
President Darin Hale looked over the reports of the latest developments on the sphere. It was good news that they have recovered one of the missing scientists and confirmed that head-scientist Colin Palmer was indeed on the other side of the sphere.
A knock came from the presidents door, the president beckoning whoever was on the other side to come in.
Jake Conner had been recently given leadership on the research of harnessing the sphere's power. So the president readied himself, the head scientist can be both the bearer of good and bad news.
"Mr. President sir."
"Mr. Conner" The president nodded to the seat infront of his table and the scientist sat down.
"Sir, we have successfully been able to find out how to harness the energy of the sphere and its.... extraordinary!"
The president was relived at knowing that he came to bring good news to him.
"How so?" The president asked to show his interest.
"Sir, imagine an energy source that seemingly cannot be depleted, has no effect on our environment and is very very compact."
The president raised an eyebrow, such source of energy would be a tremendous help to the world and could possibly serve as the new alternative to the dwindling oil supply.
"Sir, of all of this development we have ONE problem."
"And it is?"
"Sir Palmer sir, we need him to be able to create more of these spheres and conduct further research but as of now... we can only work with what we have."
"Wasn't his procedures recorded?"
"Most of them sir, but we are still lacking in terms of last-minute ajustments that he made before he started up the reactor."
The president nodded. "We will recover him."
The scientists gave his thanks before leaving the room. The president leaning back on his chair and thinking; "Time to let out the Deltas."
A few days later, Camp Knight.
Ostia had been recovering for her injuries from the bandits. But thanks to the medicines given to her by the men who said they were 'medics', a term she has never heard, she quickly recovered and is now walking to the dining hall with her sister In tow.
"Sister sister! Have you tasted those "cookies" that they make?"
Her sister has been consuming a wide variety of the strange food that the men from the sphere brought, much to their amusement and her sister's worry.
"Men from the sphere... I thought they were supposed to be demons." She remembered when her sister informed her of this and how she broke down begging a medic to not drag them to the depths of hell.
Which was met by a confused looking medic and assured them that they didn't come from hell.
Ostia nodded to her sister. "Yes, they are quite tasty."
Her sister smiled widely. "Yes! I do hope they dont mind me asking for more though."
Ostia gave out a laugh before patting her sister. "As long as you dont do it too much I dont think they'll mind."
"M hm!"
The doors of the dining hall opened while Ostia was reaching out for the handle, she was met with the face of the man who saved her and her sister from the bandits.
"Oh, good day miss!" The man bowed his head, probably learned it from her customs to bow down in greeting.
She returned the gesture and her sister immediately spoke up.
"Mister! Mister! Do you still have cookies inside?" The girl asked.
The man smiled at her an nodded. "Sure little lady, do you mind if I escort you two? "
"E-escort us?" Ostia asked
"Well, yes unless if you don-"
"No, no, not at all!" She quickly smiled as the soldier led them inside.
They pick up their food and headed to one of the empty tables and sat down, With Jonathan asking Ostia if she feels better.
"Yes, thank you for asking." She replied.
"What about you little one? I havent even got you name yet."
"Im Serin mister, and yes... but I miss ma and pa."
Ostia looked dow on her sister's statement, they were both gone... horribly brutalized by the bandits.
Jonathan nodded. "Stay strong little one, your parents would be proud."
"Really?"
"Yes, when I became a soldier my parents were so proud and I'm sure yours feel the same joy seeing their daughters saying strong."
Ostia and her sister smiled, they were proud and they must stay strong for them.
"Thank you for those kind words sir."
They sat there, eating their meals before Ostia asked.
"Sir-"
"Please call me Jonathan."
"Oh, okay. Jonathan, why did you and your people come through the sphere?"
Jonathan took another spoonfull to his mouth and digested it before answering:
"One of our own has been taken by your government, we intend to bring him back."
"Oh."
"Yeah and this is a whole new world for us to explore, we've never seen two worlds colliding."
"Can you tell us about your world Jonathan?" Serin asked.
Jonathan paused and thought about the question before answering.
"It's a world worth fighting for."
