"How did I end up here…?" Esmond moaned to himself while being dragged around the Second City with his family as they started acquiring clothes and items for the newest siblings, Archie, Rosie, Eddie, Scarlett, Gabriel, and Maverick.
Because they hadn't implemented a monetary system within the space as of yet since they had such a large amount of stock, everything could be taken freely from the stores for now, but in time it would cost something.
Eddie planned on creating a credit system within the space with the help of the wrist bracelets which would functions like the Commlinks that were being passed around.
While the wrist function uses a hologram system, the Commlink took up a portion of the forearm and a touch screen system.
Seeing as the wrist bracelet was easier and much cleaner when it came to appearances, Eddie focused his system on functionality with the wrist bracelet.
.
Esmond wanted to leave and head home at this point, but Carter told him about the family trips they had with Daniel and Ruby, so Esmond continued trudging along until he felt completely exhausted.
Once they were finished, everyone shifted to the cabin, which had once again grown in size, as everyone raced to their rooms and starting to unpack while using drones in their control to decorate the room.
Seeing this to be a perfect time, Esmond decided to take Echo and Carter away, leaving Isabelle in charge of the others for the meantime.
Arriving at a massive factory far away from the First and Second City, the three of them entered the facilities to see a massive automated system making quantum computers.
Esmond was shocked to see the efficiency of the factory machines, which were skill fully creating the circuits and systems for the quantum computer with lightening speeds.
Mind you, Esmond had done his best to increase the performance of manufacturing but once Echo got his hands on the design schematics, he saw several ways to improve the operations and made the necessary changes.
And when the first quantum computer came of the production line, Echos processing and computing powers increased exponentially, allowing him to find other ways to improves the manufacturing system.
He'd started doing the same at other factories and automated facilities throughout the space since it wasn't an issue with the help of the quantum computer.
.
When Carter saw the number of quantum computers already finished and ready for use, he was gobsmacked by what it meant not only for him, but the others with their work.
Not even waiting for Esmond to say a word, Carter and Echo got to work, moving the computers around the space, and started connecting them with each of the siblings' mainframes, giving them a minimum of 3 quantum computers for now to use.
Considering the quantum computers Esmond created were the best of the best, using knowledge and information he'd gathered over his lifetimes to create them.
He knew though that they could be marginally improved once he started using mana within the manufacturing process.
Currently he could control elements somewhat since his universal affinity allowed him to use and adapt with any element.
The problem was he first needed someone to manage the mana flow and currents that would be in the air.
Typically, this was left to the World Trees that would inhabit planets with mana.
Though their actual name was Elven Trees, people would also name them World Trees because they thought of them as the reason for mana to exist, however that was only partially true.
In fact, each race would have their own 'Tree' of some sort that existed in the world which allowed their race to connect with mana.
If the Tree was to ever die out, it meant the race would also lose their connect with mana.
What Esmond was looking for though was the Dwarven or Gnome Trees which would let him begin mana inscription on his products and various projects.
One of the projects Esmond was keen on adapting and developing with mana infused would be the power cells and Energy Sphere, possibly to increase the amount of energy that could be stored.
.
While they were working on upgrading everyone operating powers, Esmond left and returned to the cabin but as he walked into the lounge room, he saw Eddie resting on the couch.
Esmond wasn't planning on disturbing him thought about leaving, but Eddie stopped him and asked for him to sit down and join him.
"Brother, I have some questions and a little request to ask of you…" Eddie said, hoping Esmond would be able to help him out.
"Sure, what seems to be the problem?"
"While you have sent the Templar and Assassin higher ups out into the world, who've created Avitus, a small business which will quickly grow into a multinational corporation within no time.
However, they have their own task to complete and cannot be my agents…"
What Eddie was trying to get across to Esmond was his need for people to control.
While Esmond gave them full control and rights to create a droid to control and send out into the world if they needed to interact with people, however that wouldn't help solve Eddies problem.
It wasn't hard for Esmond to understand what Eddie was asking for.
Eddie needed some managers and employees of his own to work with, both on the islands under their control, but also out in the real world.
With all the companies coming into Esmonds control, it meant more work and required a close eye on business operations.
Even with the help of the quantum computers Eddie had already felt some of his work already lightening, but it still wouldn't fix his problem.
For example, Disney was one of the companies Eddie was trying to purchase along with 20th Century Studios, Marvel, Warner Brothers and many others but they all needed someone to manage these places, even if Esmond left it to Eddie.
A visual factor played an important part, and that was what Eddie was lacking.
Esmond had an idea on how to fix this and quickly shifted the two of them to the Summoning Square before bringing up the system interface.

Esmond summoned the Great Families of Westeros, as well as the rest of the people that could be spawned.
Seeing the magnitude of people, Esmond first addressed the people who seemed confused before representatives of their race stood up and led them away for orientation.
Everyone that spawned were overjoy at finding their loved ones, while others were delighted at the second chance.
All sorts of emotions were present.
Leaving the large crowd behind, Esmond took the Great Families into the palace which was prepared to dine and host them all.
Esmond looked over the crowd that'd been summoned and noticed quickly from the emblems wore on each person's clothing that it wasn't just people from the main families that were summoned.
Looking over at the Stark family, Esmond noticed that one table housed the actual members of the Stark family while others were vassal families or knights in the employ of the Starks.
It was the same for the other families as well.
Seeing this, Esmond adapted his plans to the number of families that'd appeared, making things easier for him to bare in the future.
.
"By this point, your mind should already know somewhat about me and what this place is," Esmond was expecting Carter or someone to update them on the space, and he wasn't wrong as they were already filled in by the time Esmond started speaking.
"Then you should know that I am planning to go beyond small squabbles of land for planets and galaxies that will be within the grasp of my empire.
I am giving you the opportunity to serve an Empire that will see both yourselves and your families immortalised throughout creation one day!"
Esmond just blabbered on nonsense near the end, but it was enough to capture the heart of the nobles before him with his charismatic voice and godly aura.
The first to speak up was Tyran Lannister, "Your Grace-"
"Please… until I have a coronation, just address me as Lord Esmond."
"As you wish my Lord…" Tryan said before he continued speaking.
"While I remember much about my past life, just from appearances and what I've come to know in the short time I've been here, is that we are very much out of time…"
"You aren't wrong there, Tryan…"
"Then, I suggest you allow us all some time to adjust to this time before we can be of any service to you, My Lord."
What Tryan said wasn't wrong and even Esmond knew it would be necessary, even with the flood of information they were given from the second they spawned in the space.
Luckily, Esmond already had the technology to help with this and to his delight Eddie was already having it prepared.
Using part of the cloning tech, Esmond wanted to help create a re-education program for those from the great families.
He already had similar technology in the military compounds where the soldiers were being trained currently.
Using the technology of the two, Eddie was quickly able to compute together a functional education pod that would affect all three centres of the human, from body, mind, and soul just like the military pods.
.
"My Lord, if you wouldn't mind, may we know what our responsibilities might be in the future." Eldan Stark asked, wondering if they would be forced in to battle, concerned for his people, but his worries were for nought…
"Do not worry Eldan, I will be instead giving you all land to manage.
The planet I am from is called earth and I currently reside in the nation called Australia…"
Esmond explain to Eldan and those listening closely that they would be allocated land across his seven islands across the world.
The whole point was to have them lords of the land who would report back to Esmond.
