Xavier's departure from Florithey weighed heavily on him as he embarked on his journey to Florida spaceport, and then took a spaceship to Project Olympus, a remarkable space station created by Omen Technologies. This massive station, designed in a tori configuration with outer rings and a central hub, showcased humanity's ambition for cosmic exploration. With its impressive dimensions and capacity for over 35,000 occupants, the station truly represented a floating city in space, complete with research facilities, living spaces, and even parks.
Upon reaching the space station, Xavier was greeted by the impressive sight of Project Olympus in progress. Gigantic modules floated gracefully in the void of space, interconnected by a web of intricate machinery and corridors. He was met by Rona White, a brilliant engineer with a passion for pushing the boundaries of technology.
"Xavier, welcome to Project Olympus," Rona said, her eyes sparkling with a mix of excitement and exhaustion. "We're in the final stages of assembly, and your expertise will be invaluable."
Xavier quickly integrated himself into the team, his mind still occupied by thoughts of Florithey and the mysterious revelations from their encounter. He met Tone White, Rona's younger brother, whose knack for problem-solving complemented his sister's technical prowess. And there was Tucker Brown, the youngest member of the team, whose enthusiasm and fresh perspective injected new energy into the project.
As three days past, Xavier found himself working closely with Rona, Tone, and Tucker, their combined skills propelling Project Olympus toward completion. The team faced challenges, both technical and personal, but their camaraderie and shared purpose kept them moving forward. Seven days the final touches on the station were put on finally after months of hard work, the largest construct ever to be put in space by human hands was finished.
These past week and a half Xavier and his team finished the construction of the power grid and the dry dock and the first ship was already planned to be made
Even with Xavier's occasional holographic communication with Lin and Florithey, and a couple of trips back to Earth for in-person discussions, Florithey's impressive aptitude for learning caught his attention. It seemed like she would master the English language within a month, an exceptionally rapid pace. Xavier couldn't help but think, "I'm eager to wrap up this project and see her"
"I'm feeling quite exhausted after working nonstop for three days, Rona. I believe it's about time we consider taking a break," continuing to gazing at a holographic projection of the completed space station.
Rona nods in agreement, responding, "Absolutely, Xavier. While the construction phase is complete, our responsibilities continue. We still need to prepare for the crew's arrival, and don't forget, you have a speech scheduled in just 2 hours to commemorate this incredible achievement in human technology."
True I get the necessity but I wish I didn't have to do it. I say dreading the experience.
Taylor walks up, putting an arm around my shoulder I don't see the problem you've been doing the speeches for years. I practically grew up, listening to them.
Just because I did them does not mean I like to doing them I say, in a slightly aggressive tone
Taylor backs up, putting his hands in the air
Xavier, it's just I mean Mr. Stormborn i've seen all of your speeches and in them you do amazing for being the strong silent type I mean
Rona patting my shoulder on the other side from Taylor says he's right you were the face of a woman technologies, one of the most famous Youtubers on the planet and he'll be a piece of cake bonuses trying to pump me up
Feeling awkward by the situation I throw my hands up into the air and push off the ground turning off my magnetic boots making distance from the two
Let's just get these two rings, spinning after working for three days and 0G not to mention you to you've been up here for months in 0G
Tone Floating gracefully through one of the maintenance hatches, relishing the weightlessness of zero gravity. The vastness of space offers unparalleled freedom from earthly constraints.
Tone floats toward his sister with remarkable speed, he tackles her in a warm embrace, her magnetic boots being their only anchor.
Rona playfully retorts, "Tone, didn't I tell you to ease up on the clinginess?" A hint of annoyance is in her voice, but she embraces her brother in return.
I called out John's name asking if the preparation's are complete for the rings
Tone eventually releases his sister from the embrace, confirming, "Yes, everything's in order. The electromagnetic system is set up, rails aligned, and if all goes well, the wheels will spin with minimal friction. The central hub will remain stationary, Tone explains with a snorkel-like voice.
I glance at my wrist, projecting a holographic display of the station's systems, and declare, "Alright, let's proceed in."
