Meeting Room
Karl sat in the main place, surrounded by a group of people
''Well, how is it going, is everything organized?''
''Yes sir, the people have been distributed to the designated houses, and the clothes and points have also been distributed to them.''
''Everything has been explained to them, all that remains is their distribution to their positions.''
..
''No need to rush, give them a week to adapt, then gather everyone on this list for me, I will receive them personally, as for the rest, they will be distributed as scheduled.'' After hearing their statements, Karl ordered and then moved on to another topic.
''What about the target planet?''
A middle-aged blond man stood up and saluted, then headed to press an icon above the table, a holographic video played.
''Sir, the drone we sent two years ago has returned and brought some good and bad news.''
''Let's start with the good news. '' Karl stopped him and then gestured for him to continue
'' As you can see in the video, the planet's environment is similar to our planet's, except that its area is a little larger and 69% of it is land.''
'' The drone detected life on the planet, but it is not intelligent, which indicates that there is no civilization competing for resources, and this is a good thing for us, as there will be no one competing with us for them.''
The man continued with a smile and joy, but then frowned and continued.
'' But there is a problem, the planet's gravity is 1.5 times higher than our original planet, and we may not be able to adapt to it.''
Karl was silent for a while as he thought, no one bothered him for a while, then he gestured for the man to continue his words.
'' As for the second problem, it is the size and quantity of creatures on the planet, which is large, as the smallest of them reaches two meters in length and the largest of them is 30 meters, some of their shapes resemble extinct animals on our planet.''
''As for the quantity, it is difficult for us to count them now, but it seems that the absence of a higher predator like us has caused them to multiply without worry despite the existence of an integrated ecological chain between them''
''Well, the second problem is not a problem, you can raise the matter with the departments concerned and come up with a good plan and then inform me, as for the first problem, I will think of a solution with the research center''
Karl began giving orders, as for the gravity problem, he may have a solution
''How much longer until we reach the planet? '' He turned to a young woman and asked her
''Sir, 3 months at top speed and 6 months at normal speed'' She stood up and greeted him then replied
''No need to rush, let's fly at normal speed, there are many things to do before arriving, send the satellites we developed recently and let them surround the planet and collect information''
''Is there anything else?'' He turned to them and asked
After that everyone started to discuss many topics, the meeting was lively and didn't end until 6 hours had passed
''A hard day sir, I ordered tea to be brought, you can sit on the massage chair to relax'' Dawn appeared on the screen in Karl's office welcoming him
''Dawn, only you understand me'' Karl entered the office a little tired, then lay down on the massage chair and closed his eyes, a little while later a maid entered and brought tea
''Thank you, you can go out and tell Darakin that I don't want anyone to bother me'' He took a sip and felt relaxed then he motioned for the maid to go out
The maid obeyed the order and went out to tell the guard outside about Karl
Karl had a moment of relaxation and closed his eyes, he started to remember the past
13 years ago
''Karl, lunch is ready'' A woman shouted calling her son
''Coming'' The child Karl was surprised as he covered the box behind him and ran downstairs
''What were you doing in the attic all this time'' The woman filled his plate for him as she asked him
''Nothing, I'm looking for my toy'' Karl lowered his head as he ate and tried to cover up his lie
''Karl, are you still following these delusions, you should focus on your studies'' The woman put the plate down as she looked at Karl with a frown
''They are not delusions, they will I'll find it. Dad wouldn't lie to me, I'm sure he left the map here.'' Karl stood up and shouted stubbornly, then dropped the food and ran to the attic.
''Karl..'' Rose tried to stop him but finally gave in and started removing the food and storing it in the fridge.
Rose looked at the picture on the fridge and touched it tenderly.
''Why did you tell him this? You wasted your life on this illusion, you should have given up and let it go.''
Then she started crying.
''You said we were the most important thing to you, why did you leave us then?'' ... Where are you now ... I missed you''
Karl went up to the attic and closed the door and started searching like crazy, after an hour he sat down and held his feet and a groaning sound started coming out of his mouth
''My father can't lie to me, but ... but I searched and didn't find it'' He was afraid that his mother's words were true and it was just a story his father was telling him
He wiped his tears with his sleeve and stood up, he is a smart person since he was born, so he tried to think more intelligently, since he didn't find the map here, maybe his father hid it somewhere else
He started sorting the contents of the boxes and trying to find any evidence
