Ah good timing dinner has arrived .

Now not that you would have minded probably but you two got my blessing .

Thanks Sarah !

Thank you mom !

Eat ,eat don’t let it get cold.

It was a joy full dinner with laughs and banter mixed with talk about the vr that would soon be released.

During dessert and coffee Alex told Sarah that the moment she had a vr scanner in store she should take off the day and start scanning what she can.

He advised the petting zoo , the seed market and maybe a zoo or aquarium.

Sarah asked if he knew how to do it at which he replied that it would scan everything within 50 meters and that it was uploaded the moment you logged in with vr .

That’s what was written on the short explanation note he added at which Helena winked at her mother.

“We’ll come with you and make a nice day out of it” said Helena.

“I’ll hold you to that” answered Sarah with a smile .

The shipments come in at Friday and I expect to be sold out on Saturday when the stores start selling all the vr equipment .

So we’ll have our day off on Friday , do you mind if it’s only me and my children Alex ?

No I don’t mind but be sure you’re the only one wearing a vr scanner , just to make sure.

I will , I’ll keep a helmet for each one of us , my employees also get first chance to buy 1 vr helmet and accessories .

Thank you Sarah !

It’s not worth mentioning , you all can go , just be back for our day off !

“Are you sure mom ?” asked Helena

“Don’t you need us tomorrow ?” questioned Sam.

My employees and I can handle it from now on , if we need your help we’ll ask.

Thank you for all of your hard work Sam , Helena .

You all deserve some rest and pleasure .

“See you Friday” and Helena hugged her mom .

“Until Friday mom” said Sam .

Bye Sarah until next time !

“What have those children gotten into” Sarah thought while she saw them leaving .

I’m happy for Helena though , Alex isn’t a bad boy .

And after what I saw the last weeks I don’t think they need to go to college anymore.

Not that it matters now with what we have on our bank accounts thanks to Alex…

Damn this bill is expensive , I might be rich now but I’m not coming here every week , special occasions only .

Thank you miss , enjoy the rest off your evening !

“Our mother sure put you on the grill, Alex“ said Sam while in Alex’s car.

Yeah , she knew a lot more than I expected , did you guy’s tell her anything ?

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

“No , but like she mentioned we do live under the same roof and we did our best to get everything organized these past few weeks” said Helena .

“Maybe we should let her in on it , she knows to much already not to , and she is your mother” said Alex

She was joking she should buy some factories and produce the equipment herself so that she would always have supply . said Sam

“We could let her run it and be silent partners” Helena said jokingly.

“Maybe that’s not such a bad idea” Alex murmured.

“I was joking , Alex” said Helena.

No , hear me out , we give her the full treatment plus a business education and she can produce technologies we find interesting in factories we buy .

I already have a few technologies I want to see produced and we’ve got the money and credits to do so.

We can only do so when the Nexus is opened to everyone to not be to conspicuous but it could help me on some other things I’m planning to do .

Alex , just out of curiosity , what are you planning to do ? asked Helena.

“It’s not so that I have some plans to do anything specifically” said Alex .

It’s just that I’m making some plans to ensure my safety in case people found out what we all did or what might happen .

“And those are ?” asked Helena .

I’m building a small city on a deserted island and a city on Mars .

“Your what ?” they both exclaimed .

I bought a colony builder from the same species that build Da’grass and they are currently building a city on Mars.

“You sure don’t take half measurements , how big is the city once completed ?” asked Helena .

Da’grass how big will the city be ?

There should be room for 250 000 people Alex .

How will you feed all those people up there , how will you bring them there and what would they do ? asked Helena

There is place for agriculture and cultivation machines , there is technology for rapid growth of food , and there is even room for farm animals or machine-grown meat.

There also will be industry and I’m planning to take them there with the colony builder after some adjustments of the interior.

Da’grass , how many people could it take up there simultaneously ?

It’s 250 meters long and comparable to a modern cruise ship in size but life support isn’t foreseen for so much people .

After modification it could transport around 5000 people to mars and back comfortably in one trip Alex .

“Can anyone buy from them” asked Sam.

“No , sales only start from clearance level 2 and this particularly ship needed a level 3 clearance” said Da’grass .

“Bummer” answered Sam .

“There are still space ships available at a level 2 clearance but not this ship or battle oriented ships and only interstellar.” answered Da’grass

A level 3 clearance unlocks the battle oriented but still only interstellar among other technologies .

“There must be intergalactic species among the level 2’s in the Nexus .

Why limit it to interstellar while the technology is in the mall ?” asked Alex.

All I know is that my creators build in multiple fail safes to limit some technologies from falling in the wrong hands , without limiting their potential , Alex .

We’re home , but I like to know what you guy’s think about my suggestion regarding your mom before we enter the Nexus , to take away the thorn that’s bugging us.

“It would be nice to talk about everything with our mom without hiding anything” said Helena .

“Yeah , and if she had the business education she would be unstoppable” said Sam .

“So we all agree to let her in on it ? said Alex “.

“Sure” said Sam .

“yes” said Helena .

You can tell her everything after your day off with your mom after she uploaded her scans , you can tell her that someday came sooner than we anticipated.

Also let her plan in at least a 3 day vacation for her treatment and inform her what to expect .

Once inside the house they made themselves comfortable and logged in.

They went to Sam’s bar and Helena’s restaurant , visited the brewery and farms and even Alex’s game company .

Cathy told them that the first game would probably be released in half a year real time which baffled them because they knew that programming video games took a lot of time and hard work and this was full immersion vr .

Cathy said it was thanks to the technology of a tier 3 game company building and the resources it provided .

Every company in the world would like to have a spot in New Eden if this news should spread .

They all agreed that Sarah should buy a building in New Eden as soon as possible if this could help her in her endeavours .

Afterwards they went to Alex’s villa and enjoyed the pool .

They explored different aliens music database and some video entertainment that was holographic in nature .

They stayed in the Nexus for 3.5 day’s which translated in almost 17 hours of reality.

As soon as they logged out they made use of the bathrooms and afterwards Alex made dinner .

They refrained from logging in again afterwards and just watched tv while conversing over their mother and plans .

When it was getting dark outside Alex drove them home , kissed Helena goodbye and asked them to keep him in the loop how it turned out with their mother.

The following day Sam and Helena took their mother to the seed market then the zoo (which took longer than Helena wanted) and afterwards the petting zoo.

When Helena saw that there still was a pet store open she ushered her mom inside to take a quick look around for an additional scan and went home for the talk after her mother submitted her scans.

Alex’s day was spend by going to the park , swimming in the city’s pool and watching some documentaries on tv.

It wasn’t until the next day that he received a message that their mother was willing but they asked to do the procedure at her house for convenience .
