Xander's family asked me how was it it on the horizon space station located on planet Astoria. As always the station is top of the line with it's own garden to grow crops with its rec room to the workstation where we well work at. Now the main job of the station is to monitor the citizens of Astoria a planet which is right next to earth (like were mars is for us) now all the nations on earth were estatic to go and take over the planet but there was a slight issue.
Even though we have advanced technology they have magic and also their are dangerous species of animals that aren't on earth such as dragons, gryffins, & etc. what we thought of fantasy and fairytale was a reality right next door so with our options limited since we are a cautious species we instead built stations around the planet. To study the local environment and especially finding a way to use magic since we still have no clear way of the steps to use magic. Now in the process of building stations each country was cautious as to if other countries would keep information secret or would it be public knowledge.
Now there were a few conflicts to decided this and the option of a war starting wasn't a big concern but there was a slight fear that it can happen. To counteract this a new company came out called sole horizon a company that will evenly share information to all countries. Their goal is then to land on the planet once enough information is gathered to have peaceful relationships with the citizens of Astoria. Now there's one organization that disagrees with the peaceful contact and instead want to conquer the planet for resources and land they are called Midnight Eclipse they are not as big as horizon but are backed up by serious power.
Now as far as technological advancements there are laser weapons like the classic disintegrater and the melt shot. There are hover cars but flying ones are under developedment mechs recently came into market though the cost discouraged many sales. Plasma tools have been a recently developed but other than that pollution I a problem though not as big as it was before.
Now Xander live in a big family of two sisters and three brothers his father died in an rare occurence of a terrorist attack he didn't die in the attack he died later in the hospital. But before he did he gave Xander something important he said "Xander I wish things were different but no your the man of th house tak these" he gave Xander six chips he continued to say "these are integrator chips to help the kids learn in the futureso they are not a burden on your mother" but xander saw six chips and one was bigger than the other and it he couldn't put in words but though it was more refined and powerful his dad said "the big one is the only one of it's kind made by yours truly this will help you along your path in a fun way you may like. Now you are the new man of the house take care of your mom and siblings make a good impression on them rememberson I always loved you sorry I couldn't stay longer" Xander said "Dad you did enough I will take care of everyone dont worry" they were both in the verge of tears hugging each other in father and son love. Later on Xander put the chips on his discreetly siblings when he was holding each one one his arms.
Now integrators are pretty rare so he could be careful when he put them on but as soon as he did they broke down into tiny little robots that went into the body nanobots Xander thougth .Now when Xander put his chip own he felt a sensation through his body he felt different powerful like a God but then it slowly went away now Xander Xander thougth "I going to study to get into sole horizon there pay alone would cover my family". So Xander work hard he got into high school one year and left the same year he then went into college and got in with a scholarship he only took four years to finish college with a master degree everyone thougth he was a prodigy.
Xander as the oldest he also took a jobs when he was in school to help raise money for his future siblings and some for himself to. Since his mother had three boys and two girls in one run thankfully the technology in the medical field greatly reduced her pain so Xander ran multiple jobs to save money for his siblings future.
Insurance for his father's death and money saved in the bank wasn't going to be enough so he got a job in sole horizon as manager in the biggest station on Astoria. He was even allowed to take two pets for company so naturally he was bringing his two pugs on named rosy which had the color of a moe pug and one named coal he had a color of you guess it a black pug. Coal was the boy Rosi the girl they were both near the same age he found Cole on the street and rosy was a gift from a family friend. Anyways they were a little cybernetic enhance they were smarter than regular dogs and could do everything dog do just a better. Xander took care of food through the bug farm and the garden he was tasked with these jobs as manager as well as overlooking operations went smoothly.
