They got along quite fine and when they told her their plans , Cathy told her that there were a few of her own kind who would love to join her enterprise .
Alex told her that he would send a message to her and El’Anor when they started hiring.
Cathy told them there was nothing against the rules of the Nexus to bring in their own knowledge into the company since they were citizens so it would be a win-win situation for them all .
They said goodbye and went to their villa’s .
Sarah was captivated the moment she saw the residences and asked if they would mind if she bought a villa here herself .
They didn’t mind and she bought a villa after they told her which ones were theirs .
After explaining to her how she could make adjustments to the villa and buy furniture she disappeared inside while telling them that she would meet up with them when she was done .
After looking at each other the three began laughing knowing the feeling all to well .
They went inside Alex’s home and watched some holographic alien movies which all looked like science fictions to them .
After a couple of hours Sarah returned with a big smile on her face and joined them for the rest of the movie that was playing.
The movie finished and they agreed to start the purchase of the two building as partners where Sarah , Sam and Helena would own an equal amount of shares and Alex the majority .
Once the Nexus opened , Sarah would lead the enterprises with the help of her children if needed and Alex would provide the credits if needed .
After the purchase , Sarah was left broke , and the twins were nearly so .
For Alex , however , it was if he was a rich man buying a car .
“It’s an investment in the future” said Sarah .
“A heavy investment” said Sam .
“Don’t complain , we’ve still got income from our businesses and our scans” said Helena .
Mom only has her scans for the foreseeable future .
“If it’s any consolation seeds and pets do really well in the Nexus , pets especially when they are new and once known” said Da’grass .
“We can have pets ?” asked Helena .
Yes and you don’t need to feed them or give them water but they are happy if you do so .
They act like they normally would but don’t shed hair or pee on the carpet and they won’t die , if your tired of them you just delete them out of your household .
They won’t attack you but if you mistreat them they will automatically be deleted and you won’t be able to buy another one for a considerate time.
“I’m so getting a dog” said Sam .
“It’s about time we log off” said Alex .
Da’grass would you mind sending a notice to El’Anor and Cathy that we are looking for employees for both buildings and can you handle the hiring ?
I can and I will Alex .
I’ll give them instructions to upload any relevant knowledge that they might have in the company’s database for the time being .
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
I’ll also let them handle research they think you might be interested in until further notice .
Ok , take us back Da’grass !
They awoke at Sarah’s house…
“It’s about time I went back to my own place , Sarah” said Alex against her while she was coming out of her room.
“Thanks for letting me in on your little secret” said Sarah .
I’ll contact you for our other plans or let Sam and Helena tell you what we need or are planning.
And thanks for giving my youth back , I feel like I’m 20 years again .
Well technically you are , you just look like your in your early thirties .
Bye Sam , until next time .
“I’ll let you out” said Helena .
“I’ll let you know when I’m coming over” she says while she kisses him on the cheek.
As time goes by
2 Years later
Sarah , Sam , Helena and Alex were sitting in Alex’s villa in the Nexus and were thinking about what happened the last 2 years , the reason was that Da’grass told them that the Nexus would be opening for the rest of the population.
The factories were producing vr equipment , Alex was the major shareholder while the rest had an equal share .
Sarah’s shops were doing fine , the equipment was still sold the moment it came in the shops .
Helena and Alex lived together in Alex’s house and Sam had bought his own house .
There were 3 more games available thanks to Cathy , a fantasy game , a racing game and the zombie apocalypse survival game while a fourth was soon to be released.
Different organizations were cleaning up the planet thanks to crowd funding actions and government subsidies .
The only ones that were still resisting were the oil producing companies and countries.
Religious people who saw the work of the devil in the release of these technologies were lobbying alongside those countries to ban the vr and recent developments.
The small city on the Island was almost completed and so would be the city on Mars .
On a funnier side , the moment Sam and Helena’s father realised that they owned the various shops and factories he tried to weasel himself back into their lives.
Thankfully Sarah , Sam and Helena saw right trough his schemes and told him to go back to his girlfriend.
The girlfriend noticing what he was up to dropped him like a bag of stones and never looked back .
“So according to what the ai of the Nexus told Da’grass a little more than 25 percent of the world population has a vr device and she decided that it was enough for access to the Nexus” said Alex .
In consideration for what we’ve done she gives us a week in real time to tie up loose ends that may exist .
“Outside your name on the government list of officials , I can’t think about anything that we should be cautious about” said Helena .
“We’ve also got our property and businesses” said Sam .
“The last 2 years a lot of people have been amassing credits thanks to scans and games” said Sarah .
So it’s only a matter of time others have property too .
Maybe it’s time to move to Greece , the island is almost finished and is habitable , we can also start with populating it with the people we’ve been investigating for future purposes.
“Are you planning them to give them the treatment too ?” asked Sarah .
Maybe a few on the island but once on Mars they’ll definitely get it .
I want some compatriots and I want them to be the spearhead of humanity .
“I thought you hadn’t any big dreams” said Sarah .
“We can’t keep in the shadows forever” said Alex .
Once they notice we don’t age there will be questions .
You guy’s are all welcome to join us if you want.
“We will , but gradually , I’ve still got a business to run until we are organized in the Nexus” said Sarah .
“I’ll join you , to bad for my house , I only had it for 1 ,5 years .” said Sam
“You’ll get another one over there , you too Sarah “ said Alex .
“How about marrying my daughter before you leave” said Sarah .
Mom we’ve talked about this already , if we are going to live forever it is unlikely we’ll stay together .
We are going to keep living together and share good and bad times but we will not tie the knot .
“But what about your children ?” said Sarah .
“If and when we get children they’ll have a loving mom and dad just as if we were married “ said Helena .
Alex chuckled , it wasn’t the first time Sarah and Helena brought up this subject.
But they talked it trough a long time ago with Da’grass informing them about the lifestyle of the Ethereans , his creators .
It wasn’t like the Ethereans were swingers but due to their lifespan they made contracts with their partner stipulating what they desired of the said relation and terms of the nullification of said relationship .
“Da’grass can you hide my name from the government list ?” asked Alex .
“I can from the public for a set amount of time but not from the new government officials” replied Da’grass .
But I can make it so that it’s classified information and isn’t to be shared with the public , but this can only be enforced while in the Nexus .
Do so if you will Da’grass .
And send a message to El’Anor that she and the rest of the city planners are fired and got a new job as advisors for the new government officials if they wish so .
Can you make that happen Da’grass ?
It would be a temporary set job created by you the government official and can be dissolved by the new officials at any time but yes I can do so .
