Once Esmond explained the powers of the Virtual World and the prospect of being the pioneers to lead entertainment into the next era, Felix and Louis were more than happy to follow Esmonds plans.
He told them they would be moving to a secure location, and it would be wise for their families and loved ones to come as well, since it meant they wouldn't be able to freely leave unless necessary.
Felix and Louis had already told their families they might need to move across the world for work if they weren't fired.
The two had young children and no extended family beyond their parents so Esmond gave them a couple weeks to sort everything out before heading to Australia.
Eddie would sort out the tickets and itinerary without needing Esmond to be involved.
.
"… So… you've really gone above and beyond than what we had ever imagined…" Felix said before explaining to Esmond he next expected such a wide range of classes available.
The furthest Louis and Felix had ever thought about was navigator, which would be the 3rd subclass for Pilot for instance.
Felix couldn't imagine that the Stellar War universe would be a working and functional world down to simple jobs and tasks.
If someone came down with tough times as a Player, they still could come back by putting in the hard yards and earn enough to head back out into space.
Just walking around Esmonds Starship was enough for Felix to wonder how far and developed the game was compared to his original designs, but regardless he was more than pleased.
Louis as well, found the realism and development of the game unbelievable.
Esmond eventually returned them back to the space stations they spawned at and left the Virtual World, leaving them to continue playing before he kicked them out around dinner time.
They wouldn't be allowed to freely roam around in the game any further until they arrived in Australia.
Since he was leaving in the morning, Esmond wouldn't let the helmets stay with the two as he felt they weren't completely trustworthy for such a valuable item to be left in their care.
.
Heading out the side room, a staff member was waiting to lead Esmond over to the large hall where the Special Force recruits and their families currently sat around with their luggage ready to go.
Rashid and the order of Hassassins were also in the large hall as they were told by Anton, like the others, that they would be leaving tonight instead of heading out over the weekend.
The Villa resort was purchased by Eddie so Esmond could move around with peace of mind and do what needed to be done without any problems of being seen.
All of the staff, including the one currently leading Esmond over to the large hall were told to not be nosy and if they were told to leave a certain area, it meant immediately, without hesitation.
Once Esmond entered through the doors into the large hall, the staff member bolted out of the area as he was told earlier by his supervisor, praying he didn't hear or see anything.
.
When Esmond entered the hall, everyone turned to look in his direction with expecting eyes, all wondering where it was that they would be leaving at this time of the night.
Anton couldn't explain where it was, they would be heading when asked since he didn't know himself, but he trusted Anton.
"I bet you're wondering where we are going, especially since it's nearly 6 in the afternoon, however I promise you won't need to go far…" Esmond said as he got closer to the stage while addressing the people as he walked.
Everyone thought Esmond must have meant that some islands cost by were in his control and that boats would arrive soon to take them.
But what they saw instead in the next second was completely the opposite of what they imagined.
Esmond started opening up gates all around the people.
They couldn't believe what they were seeing, but before anyone panicked Esmond explained, "While I can't say much, it'll be much easier to show you instead…" and headed into one of the gates.
Having gone through himself, Esmond didn't wait long before everyone came rushing in within the next few minutes with their luggage in hand.
They all appeared near the Summoning Square to the sight of the palace in front of them and the Second City behind them.
.
"This place is… well it's my home and another space separate from Earth.
I honestly don't know how to explain this place to you, but know it is safe, vast, and forever developing…"
Esmond said while explaining some of the opportunities offered within the space like opening their own businesses and building their strengths.
Many parents were excited learning about the institute and schools available for all, overjoyed that they could enjoy these faculties without cost.
The rest of the explanation would be left to the orientation they would go through like those spawned within the space daily.
Those who ran the daily program appeared and took over dealing with the large sum of people that appeared.
Esmond was about to leave for the cabin since Carter needed to chat about something urgently, which was also part of the reason why he brought over everyone immediately, but he stopped once he saw Rashid.
Brought over in a wheelchair, Rashid was amazed by the quality of air and the majestic sights around him, but he quickly focused in on Esmond who was staring back at him.
They both were staring at one another intensely as if battling it out to see who would blink first.
But just as Rashid was beginning to lose the fight, Esmond shifted to his side, appearing suddenly which caught the Hassassin guards by surprise.
They calmed down when they noticed it was Esmond, but it was still hard to accept they couldn't pick up on his movement.
.
"Gramps… lets go…" Esmond didn't wait for any of the guards to join him and Rashid, shifting over to the cabin.
Arriving outside the wooden sprawling cabin which seemed to far exceed the original designs Daniel had envisioned for the place, Esmond saw Carter was waiting outside with a smile on his face.
"It's an honour to meet you Gramps, my name is Carter." Introducing himself, Carter took over leading Rashid into the cabin.
Esmond followed from behind while leaving Carter and Rashid to converse amongst themselves.
He was rather focused on heading to the new addition of the cabin that Carter wanted him to see.
Shifting inside, Esmond soon saw the large double doors leading into a large expansive library filled with novels, books, comics, and much more.
Seeing all the various types of media, Esmond went over to the comic sections and started searching for Captain America, Iron man, Batman, and several other comics.
Esmond wanted to dive in and find certain information from those comic worlds which could benefit him within the space.
The arc reactor made by Tony Stark was one of those items, however Esmond wanted to mostly learn about Operation: Rebirth, which was responsible for creating the Super Solider Serum that transformed Steve Rogers.
If he came across the serum, Esmond wanted to use it with the clones currently being formed using the cloning tech.
By using a mixture of the augmentation tech from Halo and help from the Super Solider Serum, Esmond expected his clone soldiers and those recruited would become the ultimate soldiers.
He wanted to personally get a hold of the stuff Sentry used to gain his powers, but Esmond wasn't sure of his luck to gain something so powerful since he knew of the dangers involved.
.
"What do you think, brother…" Echo said, having walked in after Esmond into the large expansive library.
"I love it…
Thank you." Esmond smiled at his sworn brother, while flipping through the pages of a comic in his hand.
He was ecstatic by the fact there was so much available within the library for him to use and read from.
Currently in Esmonds hands was a comic book issued in 2005, Iron man.
In it, Tony Stark would create the Extremis armour that would be imbedded into his whole body with the help of nanites and rebuilt organs which would allow him to use the armour without causing too great of a harm to himself.
Reading through the pages, Esmond discovered Tony essentially became a cyborg after going through the Extremis process, which gave him unimaginable strength and abilities.
However, it wasn't something Esmond was willing to make his soldiers cyborgs… well at least not the whole lot of them.
Before he could activate his ability on the comic, Echo grabbed onto Esmonds shoulder to stop him.
"… Before you go away, it's best you come with me for a moment."
Echo shifted away with Esmond to the Necthea Institute, appearing straight into the private lab.
