"Your library is huge. But I still can't do any spells from the things written." Banner said.
"Yes. It depends on talent." John said. Many were disappointed as they understood that they didn't have magic talent. That would have been a boost to their powers. They all went out after sometime and soon the people who went to explore more of the Ring came back.
"How was the view?" John asked.
"It's so beautiful. The Hall of Justice would be huge here. John, you better keep 60% of the whole Ring to us. I don't want to destroy the beauty of it. People will just pollute the Ring." Tony said.
"Ask Pepper to handle all this. 343 will take care of it." John said.
"So that's the Tower of Fate you spoke about before. Looks huge." Wayne said after he came back with Tony as he too had gone to explore the Ring.
"Yes. You can go in and check it out. Anyway let Umbrella handle everything. Is the FOCUS ready to be in the market?" John asked.
"Yes." Tony replied.
"Alright. Soon we will replace mobiles. I am off. Have some work at Disney with the new movies. Tony you can place GAIA here, I am sure she will be happy to take control of this Ring. 343 will be responsible for the influx and out-flux of people. Since she can use the Ring technology to teleport people, she will be the monitor of it. Of course 343 will still have the core control of everything here." John said
"Now Victor doesn't have to use boom tubes for everyone." Tony said. Everybody laughed at it as Victor was basically working as the transport guy here. John vanished away after that while the others remained. He had work to do at Disney. The others went to check for proper space to build a new Hall of Justice.
It was April when the Ring had arrived and John had accumulated quite a lot of fan values. In a month or so he would have enough fan values. And recently due to the work of Green Lanterns across the galaxies the works of John in the Nova Empire had become famous and thus his fan values were also rising very quickly due to this influence.
John after coming back went directly to Disney. He was surprised to see such a huge amount of people outside the headquarters. John knew that they were here to know more about the Ring. John didn't care about greeting them and directly went inside.
But what gave John a headache was that the employees of Disney too wanted to know about the Ring.
"Boss, can we ever go to the Ring?" Kevin asked as he now knew that their boss had high connections with the Avengers and they might get a chance to go through that channel.
"If you want, we can relocate the headquarters to Ring. Umbrella too would probably relocate their headquarters." John said as he was really thinking of relocating the headquarters there. This would keep the normal public away from them and would be able to work in peace.
"Really? Is that even possible? Can we shift our homes too? Won't that be expensive for the employees? How will the employees travel if they want to come to earth?" Kevin said.
"You have played the game. 343 will be responsible for teleportation of people. You can easily come back whenever you want and still live there comfortably. You can ask the employees. Umbrella would soon construct houses. Ask them. I will talk to Pepper about it." John said.
"That will be great. I will ask the employees who work here." Kevin said excitedly. He really wanted to move to the Ring with his family. Living there would be equivalent to living in heaven. John was amazed that Kevin didn't think about the problem of Flood that was shown in the game but thought maybe because John would do nothing to harm them. He didn't think much about it after that.
John then proceeded to work on the upcoming movie and even the new movie that would be out by the end of the year. He was looking forward to new people that he would be able to extract from both the movies that he had planned this year.
It took a month for people to accept that now they had a Ring in their orbit. There was a serious debate about the implications of the Ring on Earth. Be it economical, geological or other such effects. Umbrella and the governments launched a joint probe on the Ring and when they couldn't find any kinds of viruses, the people rejoiced. Now Umbrella finally declared that 40% of the Ring would be for the public and like always there will be space for both rich and poor.
Of course the governments protested against it, let alone the people. Firstly the space was too small and secondly, the rich wanted to buy more land there and wanted to live in luxury.
