After a brief conversation with Robin, the enormous spacecraft with its larger than human-sized drones took off into the sky. She was happy to learn about the events and was curious to learn more about the Earth of 100 years before. Sigret showed the current images of humanity from her memory. With those images and films in her possession, Kaylee took off with Argo.
"We need to establish fast communication in the solar system." Robin said.
"The task of setting up appropriate communication lines throughout the solar system will be taken up by Terrans in the Engineering division."said Sigret. Robin nodded. Although it might take some time, it will be finished.
Robin then went on to pull out five more Argos using the same game. It was a vast area, the solar system. He had always heard about the size of the universe, but as a human it was incredibly difficult to comprehend.
It was in the Rings of Saturn that he finally got a vague idea of how huge the Solar system was. From the Rings of Saturn, the Earth was almost not visible and only a small dot of glowing light in the darkness showed that the Earth was present. So they required more Argo ships because one wasn't sufficient.
Robin named them Kaylee 1, Kaylee 2 and so on. Of course Sigret thought that he was too lazy to even name the Argo properly but she didn't call him out. All of the Argo brought to life were launched towards the solar system's four corners to keep a watch out for any 'evil people' that could be approaching.
Robin wasn't through with it, though. Robin set up Terran Command Centers in three additional locations on Mars. The identical assignment was given to each unit. Since building the Battlecruiser would take too much time, Robin had delivered it to them earlier but the others vehicles, mechs and aircrafts would be made by the bases.
Robin was therefore busy the entire day, although it wasn't as dull as Robin anticipated. He discovered the Perseverance rover while searching for a place to settle. It was a rover sent by USA on 2021.
Since the communication wasn't fast enough for the rover, it took some time for all the cameras attached to the rover to be pointed towards Robin and Sigret. Although the rover lacked a speaker to reply, it did have a microphone that could record a message and transmit it.
"Mars is now essentially a military based planet and under the rule of North Korea. NASA and other space agencies can continue their work here as they have been doing but on the promise that their research wouldn't hamper the military drills and works going on here." It was spoken by Robin clearly.
And NASA did fully comprehend what he said. They had already been informed about the North Korean leader's declaration that Mars will soon be colonized. At first, they didn't think it was true, but the space station that had been erected above the Earth proved them wrong.
They now witnessed a guy moving, conversing with a rover, and even claiming that Mars had evolved into a world of war. NASA immediately tasked the satellites to give a thorough search on the planet and try to find out what was going on.
Of course, Robin didn't wait for long to see what response did the rover give nor he cared. When Robin arrived back in Pyongyang, it was already dark. After landing on Mars, he felt somewhat sane after spending more than 10 hours there. He was a little uneasy, the low gravity being a continuous reminder of how lonely a planet he had been for so long.
He was back in Earth Palace. When he went into his room, he saw Cathrin dressed in a way that almost made him drool.
"I thought you needed a cleansing." Cathrin gave him a seductive smile.

"Oh, you have no idea!" As he leaped into the bed, Robin murmured. They both proceeded to have a passionate night. After spending so much time apart, Robin was lacking human contact, and Cathrin seemed to anticipate this.
October 22, 2023
NASA was unable to sleep. In the past 24 hours, Mars Odyssey and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter made an active effort to learn what had truly happened on Mars. The more they observed, the more afraid they felt. They found it difficult to trust the hazy photographs that had just been processed after the satellite had taken tens of thousands of photos.
They had hazy glimpses of enormous spacecrafts parked. Despite being relatively small, the newly constructed sites were nonetheless detected by the strong satellites. And that wasn't enough. They even witnessed enormous spacecrafts emerging from Mars and then dissipating into outer space.
The chief of NASA contacted the President right away to discuss the fresh information. The President read the report before making his statement.
"Comply with them with every demands if you want your head to remain on your shoulders." Because of what he had witnessed in Syria, the President was severely shaken and refused to interact with North Korea. The head of NASA was at a loss for words and unsure of what to do with the knowledge.
Seeing the spacecraft made him consider whether he should follow many of the scientists who had already left for North Korea to study in the public library they had set up.
----------------------------------------
Robin had a terrific mood when he awoke. On the opposite side of the bed, Cathrin was still sound asleep. Generally speaking, neither Cathrin nor Robin liked to share their beds with others, which was why they had gotten themselves a larger bed. a lot bigger than typical king-sized beds. All so they wouldn't be disturbed while they slept and could sleep a little distance from one another.
It was probably unromantic but they liked their personal space too. He had a typical shower when he got out of bed. Later, he reviewed all the significant events taking on around the world.
-Syria's problem would at max two weeks to get brushed.
-NASA had observed the bases, the Battlecruisers, and had been aggressively looking for Argo.
-Norilsk had been cordoned off and scientists from Nod had reached the place to do in-depth research.
-There is an 80% chance that Russia would slip into chaos if nothing is done to the country.
-Atlantis had been found in the ocean. Scientists from Ark had traveled roughly 200 kilometers from the Greek coast to examine the wrecked buildings and look for any hints about the long-lost civilization.
The other news he had already known but the last one definitely caught his eye. Finally, after a protracted quest, they learned about Atlantis. The engineers that sent the Ark were the greatest since they were knowledgeable and a specialist in marine biology.
After finishing his breakfast with Robin, Myrene showed up in the doorstep.
"What is it?" Robin asked.
"Good morning, Myrene." She was received politely by Cathrin. She always treated Mryrene and Sigret like regular people, despite the fact that she knew they were merely androids. While Robin was very casual.
"I completed the work you assigned to me. A gaming convention will take place in Pyongyang in a week."
"Thanks Myrene. Have all the greatest developers been invited?" Robin enquired.
"Yes. All that I was able to lure and handle. From big to solo developers." He received a thorough written report from Myrene. There were other big firms there with different names. Confounded, Cathrin enquired.
"What is it, hon?"
"Well.. You are aware that I make stuff inspired by video games and films. Since your boyfriend lacks originality, I would prefer if they used a more vivid imagination in the games they make." said Robin. Robin's shoulder was lightly slapped in retort.
"Don't underestimate yourself. You've accomplished a lot, including designing the inside of some of the spacecraft. Didn't you design the inside of the existing space station over North Korea and the spacecraft on Mars?" stated Cathrin. Robin blushed as she realized that wasn't the case.
He had been duping everyone with the garb of creativity.
"I'd still love it if someone could create better video games. It will greatly benefit me." said Robin.
Cathrin concurred and acknowledged understanding. After receiving the green flag, Myrene left to resolve the final issues for this convention. Myrene wasn't just in charge of the gaming convention at the moment. She was handed the duty of North Korea's PR by Sauvik. She would improve North Korea's image in the eyes of the outside world. Just like how USA did before.
She was pragmatic about it, though. To alter how the world perceives North Korea, it would take more than ten years. especially now that they were occupying Brunei, Venezuela, and Iran. And based on the current course of events, North Korea would soon have control of Russia, a global power. From every aspect, this wasn't a particularly godlike image.
