Ather and Sun Tzu were seated at a café in the bustling city of Hyderabad, sipping on their hot beverages. It had been a few months since they last met, and they were catching up on each other's lives.
"So, what have you been up to, Sun?" Ather asked, taking a sip of his coffee.
"I have been working on a new project," Sun Tzu replied, excitement evident in his voice. "It's a plan to revolutionize space travel."
"Space travel? What do you mean?" Ather asked, intrigued.
"I am working on developing a new propulsion system that will make space travel faster and more efficient," Sun Tzu explained. "My team and I have been doing extensive research on this, and I am confident that we can make it happen."
"That sounds amazing," Ather said, impressed. "But what do you plan to do with it?"
"I plan to start my own space company," Sun Tzu said with a smile. "I want to make space travel accessible to everyone, not just the rich and powerful."
Ather nodded, understanding the vision. "That's a noble goal, Sun. But starting a company is not an easy task."
"I know," Sun Tzu said, his expression turning serious. "That's why I need your help, Ather."
"My help?" Ather asked, surprised.
"Yes. I want you to join me in this venture," Sun Tzu said. "You have experience in the military, and I believe you can help me with the logistics and operations of the company."
Ather thought for a moment, considering the offer. Starting a space company was an exciting opportunity, but it was also risky.
"I don't know, Sun. It's a big risk," Ather said hesitantly.
"I understand that, but I have a plan," Sun Tzu said, pulling out a folder from his bag. "I have been doing some market research, and I have identified a few potential investors who might be interested in our idea."
Ather took the folder and started going through it, impressed by Sun Tzu's planning and preparation.
"I am in," Ather said, putting the folder down. "Let's do this."
Sun Tzu grinned, happy to have Ather on board. "Great. We have a lot of work to do, but I am confident that we can make this happen."
As they left the café, Ather couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and adrenaline. He was about to embark on a new adventure, and he was ready for it.
