Rosie continued to present the ships that were upgraded with Power Cell Engines and connected with the Energy Spheres.
Since the work for the Energy Sphere was done within the Virtual Labs, all that remained was reducing the size of the megastructure to a simpler construction.
Esmond needed to spend some time in the Labs, but he'd been busy with training that he hadn't paid it too much attention just yet.
However, Rosie had already included it into the designs of the Tertius Fleet.
.
Rosie had also been working on creating ships to meet the criteria of the classification system, though she made her own changes and adaptions as she saw fit.
The Tertius Navy ships new classification categories were, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, submarines, waterborne assault ships, and battleships.
Rosie removed corvette class ships and included them within the frigate class since they could be both operate around the coast and seagoing.
Of course, she'd created different versions of ships that would fill those categories.
There were aircraft carriers that could fly into the air and add electromagnetic force shielding around them that to help anyone on the ships deck from begin affected by external weather.
It also helped manage the air within the protected area, so the soldiers wouldn't pass out by the thinned-out oxygen levels.
Even the submarines had a couple sub classes, with some acting as support while others were designed for deep exploration or espionage work.
Everything was highly equipped with the best weaponry the space had to offer.
The Xlartanian scientists were especially helpful when it came to weaponry.
Arcia Untroliv had whipped the Xlartanian and any other scientists in his care to work overtime once he found out that everything needed to be prepared before April.
The Xlartanian who once wouldn't ever consider the scientists anything more than servants of the powerful, were now proud of Arcia and his leadership abilities for their people.
News of his exploits in developing all sorts of projects within the Virtual Labs made massive news across the space, especially since the vast majority were academic sorts, thanks to the huge population of the Thazukraans.
.
Esmond continued to listen and watch the designs presented on the monitors with Rosie explaining her reasoning on the construction layout.
"Very well…
Get forging people!
I want everything ready as soon as possible.
Also, the SF01, make up several varieties to fill the mid, and heavy weight range."
Esmond also left Rosie with his fully operational Experimental Dropship 77 he was awarded by the system that Esmond wanted upgraded.
They already had the schematics of the ship when Carter hacked the UNSC network through Pillar of Autumn, so Esmond didn't believe it would be hard for Rosie to spruce it up.
.
Leaving the institute, Esmond headed over to the cabin, planning on heading into the library to retrieve one of the comics, instead Esmond came home to Maverick waiting for him.
"Brother, I need you help." Maverick said immediately once he saw Esmond appearing within the kitchen of the family home.
"What's wrong Maverick?"
"*Sigh* So far I've been learning from Eddie and been helping him out with his work since I'm not actively working within the Retail Market, however the last few days I've started operating in the Market.
Weirdly, your authority level made it very easy to acquire land within the industrial market region.
I thought there might be some issues, but it seems ok.
Even acquiring the waste management control was fairly simple as well."
Maverick told Esmond when he went over the contract, there wasn't anything that might later cause them problems or strife's, with phony contentions for the land.
Esmond believed the authority level had something to do with the systems interference when Echo was upgraded so he could take on temporary authority.
There was nothing Esmond could do about it and just hoped it was all swell and good for him in the end.
"Have you sold anything?"
"No…
Just… preparing for the dumps of the waste we are about to receive…" Maverick had built a huge, enclosed space on the land which would allow them to conduct as freely as possible without wandering eyes.
The powers that controlled the world of the Retail Market would be delivering the waste straight onto the land, so Maverick had to sort out enough space, so it was possible to receive everything.
"So… whats the problem?" Esmond was finding it hard to understand what the issue at hand was, other than a frantic Maverick.
"… Well…
*Sigh* because we took on the portfolio of Henry Talbot, Gebrion, the planet he owned…
Its raking up quite the debt, since no more shipments of rubbish could be sent unless they wanted it to overload the planet."
Maverick asked Esmond to either shift the waste debt over to the new business site or clean parts of the planet Gebrion before the next shipment could be sent.
Esmond actually wanted to remove the planet from wherever it was and bring it over into the space, however Isabelle was busy within the gate to Stovi.
"Start taking delivery of the waste at the new site and try to find a site where we can open up shop as well.
I'll handle Gebrion straight away." Esmond lastly said before leaving Maverick behind in the kitchen.
.
Esmond called Isabelle through his mental connection while heading over to the library.
"Isabelle, if I got in touch with the Cosmic Sail Star Group and set up a connection with Gebrion, could you bring over the planet while doing your currently tasks."
"Easily…"
Esmond didn't wait any longer and called up the Cosmic Sail Star Merchant Group, hoping it wasn't going to cost him a whole lot to get what he needed done.
"Hello, this is the Cosmic Sail Star Merchant Group, Rhi speaking…
How can I be of service sir?"
"Ah, hello Rhi, I just wanted to ask if it would be possible to set up a connection to a planet of mine through my Gempad."
"Would you be taking the planet, Gebrion, out of storage then?"
"Ahh, yes…?" Esmond was a little confused by what they meant by storage since he didn't know where the group might have been keeping his planet till now.
Thankfully Esmond didn't wait long before Rhi send the information to his Gempad and account on his iPhone.
Before Rhi cut the call she informed Esmond he wouldn't charged for the service and that they would be providing him with a gift of some sort that would be specifically mark and left on the planet.
.
Esmond called Echo to send over the equipment so they could drill to the core of Gebrion since Carter was busy with Rashid in the Medicinal Garden.
The potion was being prepared for Rashid to first heal his past injuries and problems till now before Esmond took him to the Universal Essence Spring.
It would be too difficult to handle the massive change the Spring would bring so Esmond tasked Carter with ensuring Rashid could first heal his body enough first.
Esmond left Echo to monitor over the drill and to keep in touch with Isabelle so they could bring over the planet as soon as possible.
Going off the basis of what they knew already Esmond asked them to prepare satellites that could start the scanning the space around the planet.
Leaving them with their tasks, Esmond grabbed a hold of the

'FUCK YEAHHH!!!!' Esmond screamed in his mind before looking around to see he was standing in an alleyway across from a building in Brooklyn, New York.
'That building across from you is the one to go for, however open up a gate so I can send some drones through to check…' Echo was leading Esmond this time round with Carter preoccupied.
Esmond wanted to finish up here and then head back to Villa estate in Thailand.
He needed to leave the building and prepare for his flight back in the morning, otherwise Esmond wouldn't be able to walk around Adelaide without freaking out the Australian Immigration department.
Wearing a suit reminiscent of the 40's formed with his CE-01 armour suit underneath, Esmond used his hat to best try and cover his face with his face mask on as well.
Walking across the road, the Surveillance drones found an alley at the back of the building with Erskines office and a door on the roof which was open.
Esmond quickly made his way to the back of the building before leaping to the roof, taking a small kick off the side of the building to help him up.
Landing on the roof effortlessly, Esmond looked around to see no one and summoned out his MAR-01 and side arm before heading down the steps.
Esmond sent out an Energy pulse into the ground to see who was around and where they were.
It took him a second to notice that there were more than 6 soldiers on the top floor with the remaining 9 soldiers scattered around.
.
'Don't rush them…
If you can move for the room across from the door that leads out from the stairs.
Head for the window at the end of the room.
There is a small, steel balcony to stand on.
Take up aim from there.
Those Hydra Agents will be appearing below you in 3 minutes.' Kane s voice suddenly entered Esmonds mind.
He knew it would be easier to deal the chaos that would start with the arrival of the Hydra Agents.
After they made themselves known, or more so, Esmond made their arrival known, he planned to charge for Dr Erskines office, but he wasn't aware that Echo had some drones already enter the doctor's office through the ventilation system of the building.
Currently in the doctor's office there was 3 humanoid droids currently scuffling through the room to find the information on the formula.
Echo didn't keep Esmond informed, knowing his attention would be focused on the assailants about to arrive.
.
Just as a vehicle arrived with the agents, Esmond noticed it wasn't possible to carry enough people that might cause him trouble.
Esmond sent out another Energy pulse and found beside the armed men who were the soldiers guarding the building, there were others working in the building.
"Echo how many?"
'54…' Echo replied, realising that the staff had members colluding with the Hydra Agents.
"Shit…" Esmond sent a charged shot at the hood of the car, creating a loud explosion from the pulse gun destroying the vehicle and inhabitants to shreds.
Heading back into the room, Esmond got ready for the incoming shit storm that was about to go off within the building, as he prepared to go all out.
