"Are things ready on your end?"
'No problems at all, Lord Zars, we have no issues so far.
Everyone has returned to Thazur or the surrounding planets and are waiting for the operation to being.' Tulluan sounded delighted as he spoke, with a broad smile across his face as he knew another era was coming for his people.
Many people were against his idea but once the materials arrived from Esmond, they immediately changed their tone and accepted Tulluans direction for their people.
After all, the leaders wanted their people to survive more than anything so if someone could guarantee that, they were welcoming with open arms.
Tulluan was sceptical about everything still, but he kept focused and reassuring himself that everything would work out.
He was supposed to be one of the very last people to transfer over, according to Esmonds plans, as it he needed to deploy all of the stones and check nothing was left behind in their system of space.
It was going to take a couple of hours, during which Esmond would keep a close watch on how things developed with Carter and Echo assisting Isabelle as best as they could.
.
"Whenever you are ready… please proceed Tulluan."
'Confirmed. Beginning operation… now.'
Tulluan began the system operation from his spacecraft on the border of Thazur, starting up all the digging drones which started making their way down to the Core of the dozen, plus planets throughout the system.
With that done, they flew their ship in the direction of the sun which would take roughly a dozen or so minutes with their engines to reach and shot out a Spatial Core towards the surface.
"Let's hope I didn't get it wrong…" Tulluan said to himself before turning the ship around and head back towards Thazur so he could watch his planet closely as Mr Zars somehow moved it to another place where he would follow soon after the sun was taken.
.
Back in the Spatial Ark Land, Isabelle was updating Esmond on what was occurring with the Spatial Cores.
"Master, I've already begun work on taking over the sun, with an estimation time of completion in roughly 7 hours.
The planets should be ready within 2 hours, as the moons would be ready to be brought over, however I'll only do so once their corresponding orbiting planet is ready as well."
Esmond was currently within the open roof bedroom, looking up at the night sky within the space that had no stars but darkness.
He listened to Isabelle while lying back on the bed, as she was sitting close by on the lounge with Carter and Echo also seated around.
They were watching a film, Bad Boys, with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as they waited.
Carter had already set up an Ark Point on each of the main 7 islands, which produced a standing gate the size of a warehouse shutters which would allow a direct connection to the Spatial Ark Land.
The plan was to create an underground facility on each of the islands where the gates would be moved to.
Only from there could Carter, Echo or whoever wished could send through materials and items.
With the help of the map Carter already had the ability to open a gate anywhere Esmond had travelled to or had eyes and ears, but it meant expelling energy to open the gate.
Not just that, it also meant danger if someone came across the gate randomly.
The Ark Point also allowed them to send energy and other materials through without the need to create another source on the planet surface.
For example, Carter planned to create an underground fusion reactor on each of the main seven islands as a back power source, because the main source would be connected through the Ark Points and draw power from the stations within the space.
Water and sewage were also going to be connected with the Ark Point, with certain facilities working as protective measures to fool the outside eyes that might come prying and wondering how the system worked.
.
"How are the islands coming along?"
Esmond enquired as he sipped on his milk and milo.
"Well… the Pacific Islands, which I named Wolfmer Azlan, because together, the two-island looked like a wolf and lion from the side… anyway those two islands and the ones around it are currently going through heavy landscape changes.
From the basic infrastructure that needs to be laid out, to the more exotic structures that are to be built to honour the various cultures of the space and its inhabitants.
Military infrastructure is going smoothly, while I thought there might be some problems at first, I've been able to create quite the impenetrable system.
You can thank Kane for that.
Also, I've sent news to the institute to work on tidal energy and pillars to guard against Tsunamis and other possible weather issues that could affect the islands." Carter continued on the topic of the islands without stopping.
Carter explained he named the other islands as well, basing them of names he'd thought up in the past or mythical places in human history.
The island in the Indian Ocean was named Argeia, named after the ancient Xoplis God of life and health.
No idea why, but Carter liked the name and chose it, and as well as naming the island in the Artic Ocean, Buyan, named after the Russian mythological island.
The South Atlantic Island was name Diorado, with Carter planning to add gold throughout the city infrastructure for the hell of it.
Up north, Carter named the island Aeoricia, plus with it to the side of the Bermuda triangle, Carter thought the name of the Ashlok Goddess would be appropriate as she despised the unknown.
Carter wasn't a fan of the Ashlok Empire for many reasons, but one of the main points was their unending persecution to whip out any that opposed their religion and wouldn't convert.
They were mental enough to wipe entire planets clean of people if they refused.
The last island in Carters naming frenzy was the Southern Ocean Island, Nysal.
Carter just said he liked the name and went with the flow.
Esmond wanted to oppose everything he heard but he knew it wouldn't work with the stubborn Carter.
He'd managed to get their mothers approval somehow and Esmond didn't want to tread the fine line between life and death, so he chose to stay away and let Carter be.
.
Once they all heard Carters mumbling, Esmond had some news of his own and thought it would be an ideal time to let everyone gathered know.
"You will work together to manage and protect these islands, but in public I am thinking of creating personal droids for each of you.
Have Eddie create each of you a profile as part of the citizens which will live on the islands as well as creating a portfolio for everyone from the current assets.
It'll be in our control regardless, but we might need to meet people and it'll be good to show that there are 'lords' who manage each of the islands and the surroundings archipelagos.
I was thinking the name, Kingdom of the 7 Seas, with each of you as the figureheads of the islands.
With Kane, Eddie, Gabriel, and now Vaazakra, though it's best not to use him, there are still the three of you as well.
I'll soon have enough credits to turn the rest of them and another A.I into Artificial Spirits, after which you guys can use the droids to have a physical presence, somewhat anyway…"
Carter and the others agreed, as they knew the importance Esmond had stressed on covering their tracks and using the position of the figureheads on each island as alias that be utilised in his quest for financial dominance.
.
While waiting for the Cores to reach the planets magma centres, Esmond spun the Daily Wheel of Chance while waiting.
To his surprise, the reward was well out of his expectations.
[Xlartanian Genetic Code has been Acquired!]
[- Natives of the planet Tyerra, the Xlartanian were a militaristic race that focused on battles and combat.
- Their society progressed with time, with the majority of the resources focused on the military, the small amount that was given to the society and its programs eventually brought them to the modern age but with that, it also brought the end of their planet and kind.
- Only a small portion of Xlartanian could escape the planet and began to focus on science, solely devoting everything they had to furthering their race, but as they entered space they learned without might, one was a pig waiting to be slaughter.
-With time, the Xlartanian society in the Galactic space were able to create a Kingdom which could rival the mighty Empires all around her borders with its military might, but they were soon infiltrated and wiped out from within, soon ending the powerful Xlartanian Kingdom as they joined the annals of history]
.
Esmond knew of the mighty Xlartanian as one of his former Masters was one.
He was one of the last children to be born on their home planet before it was destroyed by their own actions, however after their kingdom collapsed, his power was the only thing to keep him free from those trying to enslave him.
Eventually he came across Esmond and taught him a whole deal about warfare and strategy, though it meant he was discovered by slavers, he ended up killing himself rather than becoming a slave.
Esmond never came across another Xlartanian in any of his lifetimes after that he tried to find as much information on their strategies and military techniques out during combat.
.
The Xlartanian were summoned shortly after, with 300 appearing before Esmond until they were managed and taking care of by the other residents.
A handful were selected and brought over to the palace to meet with Esmond.
Because the other races people were also summoned, everyone left together to be orientated on the space and be provided with identification and living quarters.
The ones that were brought over to meet with Esmond would be given a separate orientation of the space.
They felt it a little odd to be chosen out of the ones that were summoned but the three Xlartanians were still ready to punch it out if things went astray.
But not before long they came across Esmond who was still on the bed, but the second their caught sight of his eyes they felt a stone-cold chill go down their spines.
They felt pressure unlike they'd come across before pouring down onto their bodies.
Though it lasted for a couple seconds, it felt like an eternity to the three of them.
.
"Sorry about that… I was just testing out something new…"
Esmond accidently let out his mental energy, attacking the three of the Xlartanian without knowing it.
He was practising the Psionic practising method which would break open his receptors in the brain that hold back the energy mental energy from exploding out.
Because his organs went through a change as well, it meant his brain was strengthened and able to also strengthen Psionic Energy he sent out.
Though he meant to only send out a small discharge, it ended up affecting the Xlartanian mostly, with a portion of the energy being sent onto Carter and the others by accident, however they shielded themselves with the help of the space.
Esmond knew his control over Psionic Energy could be further reenforced by finding a Cerebral Rock which would pool the Psionic Energy within the Rock that forms a separate consciousness within the mind what acts similar to a small world.
The Cerebral Rock would help gather Psionic Energy that would strengthen the small world, improving it bit by bit.
He could do without a Cerebral Rock and form it, but Esmond was informed the Spatial Ark Land was similar in kind to the small world.
Esmond planned to use the Spatial Core to help refine it down with Psionic Energy and pray it could manipulate the form of the Spatial Core.
Holding off on the plan for now since he just opened the receptors, allowing him to use the Psionic Energy, Esmond thought about trying out his crazy plan after he was done deal with the Xlartanian.
